00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>of our holiday weekend. Keep the jacket nearby.

00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 2>For to day.

00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Expect rain AND's rizzled from time to time under cloudy skies.

6
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.239
<v Speaker 3>Well, it truly ends the weekend with a high only

7
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 3>near fifty five.

8
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 1>AKI weathers La Troy Thornton has the full four day

9
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 1>forecast in just a few minutes. The Boston hotel workers

10
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.519
<v Speaker 1>strike now into its second week and there's no end

11
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>in sight. There's wbz's Mike Macklin. You know we're on

12
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.359
<v Speaker 1>strike at Hilton, but we could don strike any day

13
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>at any of these other properties where we're not settled

14
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 1>and open ended strikes.

15
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 3>Boston Hotel Workers Union president Carlos Romayo sounding pessimistic about

16
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 3>the prospects for an end to the week old hotel

17
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 3>strike against Hilton Park Plaza and Logan Airport Hilton Hotels,

18
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Romios saying workers at the Omni and Marriott hotels in

19
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 3>Boston could join their Hilton Hotel colleagues on the picket

20
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 3>line within days, and they will.

21
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Figure out how to stay out there and post these

22
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>hotels and cause economic pain for these hotels until they

23
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>get what they want.

24
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 4>And that's something I have one confidence.

25
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 3>And Boston not the only city with hotel workers on strike.

26
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 3>The major national hotel chains facing strikes and cities from

27
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.920

<v Speaker 1>Five residents of Lowell doing court after the holiday weekends

30
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>wept up in a month's long, undercovered drug and firearm investigation.

31
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Middlesex County DA Marion Ryan's office announcing the sweep on Friday,

32
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>and the search for a sixth suspect is continuing. Those

33
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>arrested Friday scheduled to appear Tuesday in Lowell District Court

34
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>on several firearm and drug charges. Residents of Salem feeling

35
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the influx of tourists for the Halloween festivities. Instead of driving,

36
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Salem mayor Dominic Panngalo asking visitors consider taking public transportations.

37
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 5>Some people are complaining about it.

38
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 1>More and more.

39
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 6>George Sampson works in Beverly. He sets up his belt

40
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 6>and wallet vending business every weekend. He says a lot

41
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 6>of Beverly residents are complaining about the traffic flow from

42
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 6>Beverly to Salem this time of year.

43
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 5>I have to wait for a lot of cars to

44
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.159
<v Speaker 5>go by that are used in Essex Street to get

45
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 5>out to one twenty eight.

46
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Now.

47
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 6>Aside from all the traffic, the other challenge is parking.

48
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 6>Salem has approximately four thousand parking spots, and the mayor

49
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 6>says they can get as many as sixty five thousand

50
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.159
<v Speaker 6>visitors on a weekend.

51
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 5>Over one hundred thousand is re clesser to the end

52
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 5>of the season, So through the math, you're not gonna

53
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 5>find a parking space. If you're planning to come to Salem,

54
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 5>come by train, come by ferry. Yeah. I got a

55
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 5>lot of nice people that are just tourists and they

56
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 5>want to get out of Salem for a day and

57
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 5>they come over.

58
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 6>Here, which leads to gridlock traffic.

59
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>Take a train, take a ferry, don't drive. It's definitely

60
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 1>adding to the traffic of the city and the residents

61
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>don't like it.

62
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:03.360
<v Speaker 3>You gotta go with the flow.

63
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 5>I guess right.

64
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 1>It's WBZ TV's Paul Burton reporting David Posternoch with the

65
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>game winner in overtime. Bruins beat the Kings yesterday at

66
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 1>the Garden two to one. Last night on the hardwood

67
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>at the Garden, Celtics just blew away the seventy six

68
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>ers preseason baskets one thirty nine to eighty nine. Columbus

69
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 1>shut out the Revs Major League Soccer for nothing, and

70
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 1>the Pats and Houston. Today in Foxborough, Drake May, we'll

71
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>start a quarterback. That's a one o'clock kick. Let's check

72
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 1>the four day WBZ ECHU weather forecast. LaTroy Thornton tells

73
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 1>us Today it's cloudy, it's chilly, we'll see some showers,

74
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 1>some drizzle. Temperatures mid fifties in Boston, closer to sixty

75
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 1>in the suburbs. Now it's cloudy Tonight, the rain and

76
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 1>drizzle will taper to showers, will drop back into the

77
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>forties in most areas for the holiday. Tomorrow, it's cloudy

78
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 1>with morning showers and then breezy in the afternoon with

79
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 1>some sun and again can't rule out a lingering shower.

80
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>High sixty. Tuesday's better it's brisket's chili with sun high

81
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven and then same deal for Wednesday, sun, clouds

82
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and mid fifties. Just forty six degrees. Right now in

83
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 1>Boston at six h five Hurricane Milton being blamed for

84
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 1>about two dozen deaths in Florida. Over a million customers

85
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>still without power since Milton made landfall last week as

86
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 1>a category three hurricane. CBS is Tom Hanson from Brandon,

87
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 1>which is near Tampa to get.

88
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 4>Power back on. Fifty thousand linemen from as far away

89
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 4>as Canada on the job and working overtime, but others

90
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 4>are simply focused on survival. Days after the hurricane, rivers

91
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 4>in some places are still rising. We traveled into the

92
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 4>hard hit community of val Rico, where floodwaters have swallowed

93
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 4>entire neighborhoods. Terry Rudd and his family are just now

94
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:55.800
<v Speaker 4>returning to see what's left.

95
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be a mess here to fine reveal.

96
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>President Biden heading to Florida later today to survey the damage.

97
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Ahead of his trip, he has approved a disaster Relief

98
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Declaration in Florida. That move provides federal funding for Florida's

99
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>cleanup and rebuilding. The funds will be available to thirty

100
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 1>four counties. It will also provide grants for housing and

101
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 1>home repair, along with loans for those with uninsured property losses,

102
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and more relief coming from the northeast and on its

103
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 1>way to parts of North Carolina hit hard by Hurricane Helene.

104
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 1>This time, the helping hand comes from the MSPCA, a

105
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>group of veterinarians, technicians, and community outreach staffers heading to

106
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Yancey County in North Carolina, where Helene damaged or destroyed.

107
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>For VET hospitals, some animals will get some much needed care.

108
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Some of them eventually will be brought to homes in

109
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 1>our area. To campaign twenty twenty four, Donald Trump and

110
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris continuing campaign schedules with less than a month

111
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.319
<v Speaker 1>until election day and the Vice president's physician making her

112
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>latest medical records public.

113
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 2>The primary care physician for Vice President Harris says she

114
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:15.000
<v Speaker 2>possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to serve as president,

115
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Joshua Simmons, has released a letter saying the VP

116
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>maintains a healthy, active lifestyle and that her most recent

117
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 2>physical last April, was unremarkable. A campaign aid for Harris

118
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.879
<v Speaker 2>says the campaign hopes to draw a contrast with Republican

119
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump, who has released only limited information about his

120
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 2>health over the years and raised questions about Trump's fitness

121
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 2>to serve Simmons has been Harris's primary care physician for

122
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 2>three and a half years. He says Harris has a

123
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 2>history of allergies and hives, for which she has been

124
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 2>on allergy and aminotherapy for the past three years.
