<v Speaker 2>News forty two degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon.

3
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. It's been a bad

4
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.199
<v Speaker 2>day for air travel in London, though it is expected

5
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.920
<v Speaker 2>to get better. Electrical substation exploded and caught fire, knocking

6
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 2>out power to the airport.

7
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Police do not believe foul play was involved.

8
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Emma Fulton was at the airport. She had to reschedule.

9
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>We had to go to the Air India desk, which

10
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.079
<v Speaker 1>was a bit chaotic.

11
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.719
<v Speaker 3>We got there, they changed the flight for four days time.

12
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>On the twenty fourth, at seven o'clock in the morning,

13
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 1>one flight left Charlotte, North Carolina for London.

14
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 4>We are headed back to Charlotte.

15
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 5>Let me tell you what's going on.

16
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 1>The pilot explained the situation.

17
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 4>The wrong ways have lights, but there's no power in

18
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 4>all the terminals and they are not accepting flights into

19
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.039
<v Speaker 4>fundon Heathrow.

20
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I met Donahue and we've had one plane to reland

21
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 2>at Heathrower. Trying to get some flights in there today

22
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 2>and hope to return to a full schedule tomorrow. The

23
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>first of the flights expected to bring stranded passengers back

24
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 2>from other airports in Europe and get airplanes back in

25
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 2>the right place. President Trump announces a sixth generation US

26
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 2>fighter jet manufactured by Boeing.

27
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.680
<v Speaker 6>President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseath announced the new

28
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.560

29
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 6>Air Force's F twenty two Raptor.

30
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 7>It'll be known as the F forty seven.

31
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 5>The General's picked a title, and it's a beautiful number.

32
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 7>F forty seven.

33
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 6>President Trump is the forty fifth and now forty seventh

34
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 6>US President. Secretary Hegseeth called this a big day for

35
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 6>the US military and the world, saying the new fighter

36
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.359

39
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>and small businesses from being displaced. A Place to Thrive

40
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 2>is the first program of its kind in Boston lays

41
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>out a two year plan to help stabilize those who

42
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 2>are facing economic displacement. It includes helping multiple low and

43
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>moderate income households purchase their own home, supporting student and

44
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>employer sponsored workforce housing, and providing those facing displacement with

45
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 2>a relocation plan. The mayor says Boston must keep its residents,

46
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 2>small businesses, and cultural spaces rooted in our neighborhoods. Another

47
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 2>day to day of probable cause hearings for more than

48
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>two dozen men who allegedly frequented brothels run out of

49
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 2>high end Boston area apartments.

50
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.879

00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 4>Stacy Lee barn stains and the buffeting wins outside of

52
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 4>the courthouse to send a message to the alleged patrons

53
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 4>of the sex rank. But none of those men personally

54
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 4>stood before the magistrate, and that does not sit well

55
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 4>with Barns. We get arrested, our names get thrown in

56
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 4>a newspaper.

57
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 7>Sometimes they take our pictues and we'll just put on

58
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 7>blasts all over the place.

59
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>We exploit, if you will.

60
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>And these guys were able to side step.

61
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 3>All of that.

62
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 4>So some of the defendants fought to keep their identities private,

63
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 4>a battle that went all the way to the state's

64
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 4>High Court, where it lost. Some of those identities, authorities

65
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 4>have said include powerful executives, government contractors with security clearances,

66
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 4>and politicians. Each of those defendants will show up personally

67
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 4>for their arraignment. Cambridge District Court Clerk Share and Casey

68
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.120

00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 2>Cambridge City Councilor Paul Toner is facing a charge for

71
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>allegedly being one of the clients. Some sunshine breaking out

72
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 2>even as close by as right near Boston. We did

73
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 2>have clouds hanging in near the coast, and we'll get

74
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>some clouds to hang in, probably over the Cape Island

75
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 2>longer than anyone else, and maybe a shower or two

76
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 2>as we head into the evening. Otherwise you'll start to

77
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.960
<v Speaker 2>see the clearing skies if you haven't already, and later

78
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 2>tonight will feel a chill in the air, temperatures in

79
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the thirties. The winds that we've had today, the really

80
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>gusty ones, those will die back a little bit, but

81
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 2>still breezy and real feels overnight tonight and probably closer

82
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 2>to twenty in some of the coldest spots periods of

83
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>sun and clouds Tomorrow, still breezy but mild as we

84
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 2>get into the low sixties, and some of the warmest

85
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>spots probably upper fifties, downtown, lower fifties over the Capean Islands.

86
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Partly cloudy, breezy tomorrow and night lows in the twenties.

87
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.840
<v Speaker 2>And then on Sunday, it'll be a breezy day. There'll

88
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.599
<v Speaker 2>be lots of sunshine, but it will be cooler despite

89
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.199
<v Speaker 2>the sun. Forty three to forty seven. Monday, we're in

90
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.680
<v Speaker 2>the mid forties. A little bit of rain comes in

91
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 2>and we may get in on a little bit of

92
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 2>snow mixing with that rain for a time north and

93
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 2>west of the city. Right now we're at forty two

94
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 2>degrees in Boston. Well, now that springs here in New England,

95
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>allergy season isn't far behind. Wdbz's Nicole Davis spoke with

96
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>an expert to learn more about what we can expect.

97
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Spring has indeed derived on the calendar, but the cold

98
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 1>weather's not quite through with us yet. At You Weather

99
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter says, because of that, we're not

100
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 1>going to see the full onslaught of pollend for a

101
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>little longer, but when we do, it will hit hard.

102
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.560
<v Speaker 5>We could be dealing with a period of time, especially

103
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 5>later in May and June, that people who are specially

104
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 5>susceptible to tree pollend dealing with some challenging situations as

105
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 5>all the trees bloom out sort of at once during

106
00:04:57.560 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 5>that time period.

107
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 1>He says, here in Massachusetts, we are an average level

108
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 1>of tree pollen this year. As we get into the summer, though,

109
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>you'll notice a lot of grass pollen more than usual

110
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 1>because we have a forecast that is wetter and warmer

111
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>than normal.

112
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 5>And then the ragweed season, which is during the late

113
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 5>part of the summer, typically early August in the Boston area,

114
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 5>we're expecting about average intensity.

123
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 3>the best place and the best deal. But that's why

124
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 3>it's good to have a guy with the data on.

125
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 7>Every data chart across every national portal or local portal.

126
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 7>You'll see April is when you get a ton of availability.

127
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.160
<v Speaker 7>So it's coming right now and we'll see a lot

128
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 7>of that in the next three weeks.

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.319
<v Speaker 3>sixteen thousand apartments and so.

132
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 7>You can wait, but you might miss the best apartment.

133
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.800
<v Speaker 7>By the same token, if you get into August, you

134
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 7>might find a great deal, but it might not be

135
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.319
<v Speaker 7>the perfect apartment that you want.

136
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 3>He also says having a good, strong group gives you

139
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>A handful of New England bridges or on the list

140
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.160
<v Speaker 2>of nearly seventy spans that the NTSB says will be

141
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 2>evaluated for a risk of collapse. Both the upper and

142
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 2>lower parts of the Tobyn Bridge, along with the Born

143
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 2>and Sagamore Bridges, are slated for what are called vulnerability

144
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.240
<v Speaker 2>assessment to determine their risk of collapse should they be

145
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 2>involved in a vessel collision like the one that hit

146
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 2>Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, a memorial bridge in Portsmouth,

147
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.600

148
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.600
<v Speaker 2>also on the list. The NTSB notes that the recommendation

149
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 2>doesn't suggest the bridges are certain to collapse, but rather

150
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.720
<v Speaker 2>bridge owners should evaluate whether the bridges are above the

151
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:02.800
<v Speaker 2>official acceptable level of risk. You are now in the loop.
