<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local.

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.320
<v Speaker 2>News exactly.

3
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Friday. You know, I don't like the fact that you're

4
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.399
<v Speaker 1>gone for seven days, you never call, you never speak

5
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>a word, and then you show up. But we'll welcome

6
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 1>you nonetheless. Good morning, six o'clock Friday, cloudy sky's forty

7
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>two degrees, occasional drizzle out the door. The News at six,

10
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jeff Brown. Well, this is less than comfortable.

11
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 3>It'll be rainy this morning, along with some fog than

12
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 3>wendy this afternoon, with clouds breaking for some sunner hind

15
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 1>the way. Everett's longtime mayor says he's running for office again.

16
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.320
<v Speaker 3>Mayor Carla de Maria joint supporters at a ballroom in

17
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Maldon last night for his campaign kickoff. It was there

18
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.880
<v Speaker 3>where he was described as defiance in the face of

19
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 3>calls to step down. Those calls coming from the city council,

20
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>which not only approved a vote of no confidence, in

21
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 3>the mayor, but demanded that he paid back one hundred

22
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 3>and eighty thousand dollars in which he was overpaid. That

23
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 3>finding came from an inspector general's report. De Maria, who

24
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 3>was first elected in two thousand and eight, has denied

25
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 3>any wrongdoing in Everett. James Rojas w b Z Boston's Snooz.

26
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Radio te Maria has been in office in Everett for

27
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>seventeen years. City councilors there will discuss, ironically enough, term

28
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>limits in a meeting coming up on Monday night. The

29
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>federal judge in the deportation decision of alleged Venezuelan gang

30
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 1>members says the White House could be held in contempt

31
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>of court. Next Judge James Boseburg, says the government's response

32
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 1>for more details about ignoring a court order to turn

33
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>those flights to Al Salvador around is woefully insufficient. Trump

34
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>administration officials say the deportations are made under a revival

35
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>of the Alien Act of seventeen ninety eight, which allows

36
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>for drastic measures in drastic times of war. But the

37
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>court calls into question the rationale of the Venezuelans invading

38
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>the country and becoming enemies of the nation. Teachers respond

39
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 1>to President Trump's executive order that begins the process of

40
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 1>tearing down the Education Department. The American Federation of Teachers

41
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>will speak to the media this morning about the negative

42
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>impact it feels this act will have on the lives

43
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 1>of students today and tomorrow. The department was created by Congress.

44
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Only Congress can approve its disintegration. Bruins try to stumble.

45
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 1>I guess to the finish line a four game losing

46
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>streak now as the Golden Knights take it to them

47
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>late night in Vegas and Madness, the search for a

48
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>perfect bracket falls apart steps the usual batch of upsets

49
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 1>in the first round of March Madness. Celtics in Utah

50
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>tonight and go for a four game winning streak. The

51
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 1>days are numbered for Red Sox spring training. They host

52
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 1>the Pirates at Jet Blue tonight. Pieces of NBA history

53
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 1>are about to go for big bucks.

54
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 4>Bitting begins today on Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan's first

55
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 4>ever game worn NBA jerseys. Jordan's is from his nineteen

56
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 4>ninety four preseason debut in Chicagoan.

57
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Fming up Jordan of Chicago.

58
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.319
<v Speaker 4>Southerby's called jerseys from Jordan's rookie season unicorns, as they're

59
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 4>rarely seen going on the market. Bryant's is the first

60
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 4>jersey he wore in nineteen ninety six with the La Lakers,

61
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 4>which has the number eight on it.

62
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 1>There's Kobe, He's a young man.

63
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 4>They're each expected to fetch about ten million dollars apiece.

<v Speaker 4>Stacy Lynn CBS News.

65
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Quite an interesting picture on the radar maps this morning.

66
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Right now, Boston is in a bit of a lull

67
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>between some following some heavy rain overnight and just sup

68
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to a couple of hours ago. Another batch of rain

69
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 1>is about to move in and the trailing edge of

70
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 1>this system features some snowfall out in western Massachusetts this morning.

71
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>This is all to say, this is an unsettled day

72
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and here in Boston right now it is forty two

73
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>degrees so whatever comes down is going to be rain.

74
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Here in the city. We are expecting temperatures to stay

75
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 1>in the forties today. It's going to be a bit windy.

76
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>All of this precipitation will come to an end later

77
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>this morning, early this afternoon, we'll see breaks of sunshine

78
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 1>on the way. Overnight tonight mainly clear and breezy lows

79
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 1>back in the thirties, A nice day tomorrow, mix of

80
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 1>sun and clouds, hies well into the fifties, maybe low sixties.

81
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>A bit of a change as we take it in

82
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.079
<v Speaker 1>the other direction on Sunday, wrapping up the weekend with

83
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>some chilly air with some sunshine, two highs only in

84
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 1>the forties. Right now it's forty two clouds and more

85
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>rain on the way. It's six oh six this Friday morning.

86
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Have you had it with tipping? You're not alone as

87
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 1>that extra quick question at the checkout counter pushes many

88
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>of us over the edge. Andrew moholland is here.

89
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Hello, Jeffrey, Good morning, Good morning. Nearly nine to ten

90
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 2>think tipping culture has gone too far.

91
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you. Does that surprise you? No, it

92
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>really doesn't.

93
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Everything sign of the times that is way up from

94
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 2>last year too, and our attitudes toward gratuity have drastically changed.

95
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>More than half of Americans say a tip out of

96
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 2>I guess a social obligation rather than giving the extra

97
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>money just for good service.

98
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 1>So you know what, I will argue is even more

99
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 1>annoying than tipping. The survey questions, how did we do well?

100
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 1>You know. I ordered a cup of coffee. You poured

101
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>me a cup of coffee and you handed it to me.

102
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>You did great, big thumbs up. Thanks.

103
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 2>I thought he might have strong opinions on this.

104
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 1>This is good. Don't you got me started and it's

105
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 1>just beginning. Are you done?

106
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 5>No?

107
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so, but I'm going to have to

108
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 1>put it on pause right now. Thank you. Drew massive

109
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>headaches this morning and all day long at London's Heathrow Airport,

110
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>one of the busiest airports in the world, is completely

111
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 1>shut down today. This follows a fire at a London

112
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:52.439
<v Speaker 1>power station. The airport, which routinely handles about thirteen hundred

113
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 1>flights a day, forced more than one hundred of those

114
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>flights to be diverted when the power got knocked out,

115
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.439
<v Speaker 1>including a few flights that had to return to Boston's Logan.

116
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>It's not clear when full power will be restored, but

117
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 1>officials say the ripple effects of delays will likely take

118
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>days to unwind. Word of warning for international travelers coming

119
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 1>into the United States. The United Kingdom issues a travel warning,

120
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>a message that harsh consequences could await British passport holders

121
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>who violate America's immigration laws. Official say simply, any traveler

122
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 1>may be liable to arrest or detention. The warning comes

123
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>a day after officials in Germany update its own travel

124
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>policies after three of its citizens are detained. Here, inspectors

125
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>will need to take another look and to the Tobin,

126
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the Born and Sagamore bridges here in Massachusetts. They are

127
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>all on a long list NTSB says could be at

128
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>risk of collapse if hit by a ship. This, of course,

129
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:47.879
<v Speaker 1>follows last year's tragedy in Baltimore.

130
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 5>Had they ran the calculation on the Francis Scott Key Bridge,

131
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 5>the MDTA would have been aware that the bridge was

132
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:04.800
<v Speaker 5>almost thirty times greater than the risk threshold ASHTOE sets

133
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 5>for critical essential bridges.

134
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Zent tsb's chair Jennifer Hammandy. Almost one year ago, of course,

135
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 1>a cargo ship lost power and brought the Key Bridge

136
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>down in the middle of the night, killing six about

137
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 1>seventy bridges across the country. They are now on this

138
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>inspection list for vulnerability. You are now in the loop.
