10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>on me. Mostly sunny today, but it will be brisk

11
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.719

00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 1>the Oscars.

20
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not well if the Oscar is Open, with a

21
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 2>tribute to the city of La still in recovery after

00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>the Road from the Broadway show The Whiz. Quincy Jones

<v Speaker 2>served as a producer on that. Matt Wolf CBS News.

<v Speaker 1>on the night himself, Adrian Brody Best Actor for The Brutalist.

34
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 3>I pray for a healthier and a happier and a

35
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 3>more inclusive world, and I believe if the past can

36
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 3>teach us anything, it's a reminder to not let hate

37
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:02.239
<v Speaker 3>go un checked.

38
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 1>Also last night, an earthquake hits Los Angeles. The US

39
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Geological Survey says it registered three point nine and it

40
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>hit around ten o'clock local time. No injuries, no damages reported.

41
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Doctors at Jemelli Hospital in Rome say Pope Francis had

42
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>another good night's sleep after suffering a respiratory setback on Friday.

43
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>The eighty eight year old Pope is now off a

44
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>mechanical rather ventilation device, but he's still receiving oxygen. The

45
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Pope has been hospitalized since Valentine's Day for treatment of

46
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 1>double pneumonia and early stage kidney failure. He responds to

47
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the faithful on social media to thank everyone for their

48
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>concern and their continued prayers. City of Boston says objects

49
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.

50
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 4>A bus only lane stretches up and down Huntington Aft

51
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 4>here near Northeastern. It's one of several street safety improvement

52
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 4>projects that are expected to be reevaluated by the city.

53
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 4>An internal city Hall memis was sent to a list

54
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 4>of employees recently. That's according to streets blog Mass. This

55
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 4>comes shortly after it was announced that the bus only

56
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.280
<v Speaker 4>lane on Boylson Street would be removed after finding that

57
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 4>it just didn't work as expected. The city will also

58
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 4>be looking at new neighborhoods speed humps city wide, as

59
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 4>well as separated bike lanes in the Back Bay and

60
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 4>other neighborhoods. On Huntington A. F.

00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 1>James rohas w b Z Boston Snooze Radio. Now it

62
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>is just thirteen degrees in Boston. Bit of a breeze too,

63
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>blowing at about fifteen miles per hour. We are expecting

64
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>to see and plenty of sunshine today. It's going to

65
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>be windy throughout high temperatures only around freezing today, but

66
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 1>we're making some progress in the first week of March.

67
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 1>We'll see temperatures approaching fifty degrees tomorrow with sun mixing

68
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 1>with clouds. Even mild around Wednesday into the load to

69
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 1>mid fifties, but it's going to come with a little

70
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 1>bit of rain in the afternoon. Heavier rain in a

71
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>thunderstorm is expected to move into the area overnight on

72
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday night and continued mild and breezy on Thursday as well.

73
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Right now in Boston, partly cloudy skies in just thirteen

74
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 1>degrees as we get started together this Monday morning, it

75
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>is six oh five, the world continues to react to

76
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>a blistering beatdown of Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky. I don't think

77
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>you'd be a tough guy without the United States, and

78
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 1>your people are very brave. But you're either going to

79
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 1>make a deal or we're out. And if we're out,

80
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>you'll fight it out. I don't think it's going to

81
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>be pretty, but you'll fight it out. Now, the United

82
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Kingdom takes center stage and helping Europe rally to Ukraine's cause.

83
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Leaders agree to increase military spending in Ukraine and set

84
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the framework for a piece deal. We are at a

85
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 1>cross roads in history today.

86
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 4>This is not a moment for more talk.

87
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>It's time to act. British Prime Minister Kerr Starmer, less

88
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>than a week removed from his White House visit with

89
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 1>the President, says this is a deal that the United

90
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>States will support. Details of the four pronged plan include

91
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 1>keeping European aid flowing, ensuring Ukraine as a seat at

92
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the bargaining table, also ensuring the country's security, and to

93
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>continue to provide arms to deter against potential future invasions.

94
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Well tomorrow, oh as tariff Tuesday. President Trump is ready

95
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>to hit Canada and Mexico with twenty five percent tariffs

96
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 1>on just about all imports. An additional ten percent levy

97
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>will hit China as well. There is no indication yet

98
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that the White House is planning to respond to Mexico's

99
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>move last week to turn dozens of drug cartel operatives

100
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>over to US custody. The President did give both our

101
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.160
<v Speaker 1>neighbors to the North and South a one month reprieve

102
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>from Tariff's when both promised to send troops to the

103
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>border to help stop the flow of undocumented migrants and

104
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 1>drugs over the border.

105
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Well.

106
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Millions of federal government workers face another deadline at midnight

107
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.319
<v Speaker 1>tonight to respond to the what did you do at

108
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Work this Week? Part two email? This one appears to

109
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 1>come from federal agency bosses and promises to be a

110
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>weekly installment. This time, it also demands an answer. Elon

111
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Musk's similar email last week was ignored by hundreds of

112
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>thousands of workers, either by choice or under the advice

113
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 1>from their bosses. This week's email comes from the Office

114
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 1>of Personnel Management, A federal court judge, by the way,

115
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>recently ruled PM does not have the power to fire

116
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 1>federal workers. Survey says most Americans are in favor of

117
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>the federal government boosting rather than decreasing funding across government agencies.

118
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 1>The Yugov poll reveals that in none of the forty

119
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 1>areas brought up in the survey did Americans want the

120
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>government to spend less. A Delta Airlines light destined for

121
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Marty Gross celebrations in New Orleans instead heads back to

122
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Logan Airport after a smoky odor is detected in the cabin.

123
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>WBCs Drew mo'holland is here with details. Good morning Drow,

124
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Good morning Jeff.

125
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 5>It all happened seconds after liftoff. Delta flight thirteen ninety

126
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.759
<v Speaker 5>eight at Airbus A two twenty with ninety two passengers

127
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 5>and crew on board, lands safely, though three passengers are

128
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.079
<v Speaker 5>taken away and treated medically on the scene. One was

129
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 5>taken to a nearby hospital. No word on what caused

130
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.279
<v Speaker 5>the actual problem here. The investigation, of course goes on.

131
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 3>All right.

132
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.959
<v Speaker 1>Certainly a troubled time for the aviation industry in North

133
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>America with several recent incidents in North American airspace. DRU
