26
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>are underway before the sun comes up.

27
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 3>For years, South Street Diner has been a beacon of

28
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 3>hope and of corn of beef for those celebrating the

29
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Irish holiday. For many, it's a must go to destination.

30
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.439
<v Speaker 4>Very busy yes, people coming into Boston to go see

31
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 4>the parade and then people on their way out after

32
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 4>the parade.

33
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 3>There was no rain for the Saint Patrick's Day parade,

34
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.159

35
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think with the rain it's kind of unpredictable

36
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 4>yesterday because it was so nice though, you know, we

37
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 4>had a lot more people.

38
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 3>I think those who do brave the elements, they will

39
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 3>be greeted with hot food, a green decor that would

40
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 3>make a leprechaun blush, and of course corse the diner's

41
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.159

<v Speaker 1>from a visit with her parents in Lebanon last week.

52

00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 5>a four point five million dollar pay day. They're both

67
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 5>Seems a lot easier for the professionals, but anything can

68
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 5>happen in a playoff. McElroy and Spawned t off at

70
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Think rain is coming down at a pretty good clip

71
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>into every location here in eastern Massachusetts this morning. We've

72
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 1>got some downpours and some steady rain elsewhere. It is

73
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>a very mild fifty eight degrees out the door this morning.

74
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 1>We will be in the lower sixties this afternoon, but

75
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it looks like it's going to be a damp day

76
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 1>at the very least, and certainly some periods of heavy

77
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>rain throughout the rest of the morning hours before we

78
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>finally start to settle this down a little bit this afternoon.

79
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 1>A couple of showers will be left over overnight tonight

80
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>as we drop down to about forty plenty of sunshine

81
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 1>back at us to tomorrow, it is going to be

82
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 1>a high temperature in the middle fifties. Wednesday is the

83
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>final day of winter. It is a mix of clouds

84
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 1>and sun, a high near fifty along the waterfront, mid

85
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.319
<v Speaker 1>fifties and inland locations. And the first day of spring

86
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday looks like mostly cloudy and a shower, pretty

87
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>typical of spring like conditions. Temps will be in the

88
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 1>fifties on Thursday as well. Right now, it's fifty eight

89
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 1>and raining at a pretty good clip pretty much everywhere.

90
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 1>This morning, Good morning, it's six oh five. It is

91
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 1>full steam ahead on the MBTA's Red Line.

92
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Teas general manager Philip Ang says, this is just the beginning.

93
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 2>That's the sound of a Red Line train on the

94
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>brain Tree branch moving at fifty miles an hour. The

95
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>tea tells me it's the first time the trains have

96
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>gone that speed in twenty years.

97
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, pri have to see it to believe it, because

98
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, you know, they say the slow zones

99
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 3>are gone and it's still slow.

100
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>But I'm excited.

101
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>It's Christian's first time taking the tea with the new

102
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 2>peppin it step. Emmanuel rides the Red Line every day,

103
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 2>and since he just got off, I asked him if

104
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 2>it feels any faster.

105
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe that's pretty sure, but I feel like, yeah,

106
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 1>it could be fasted.

107
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Though he says it's hard to know exactly what fifty

108
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 2>miles an hour feels like when you're on a crowded

109
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 2>train with eyes on your destination. The NBTA celebrated the

110
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 2>end of slow zones last year, after removing the final

111

<v Speaker 1>The series is expected to include behind the scenes footage

118
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.079

119
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 1>ended in a hung jury last summer in Norfolk Superior Court.

120
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Reid faces the same three charges in her upcoming retrial,

121
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>despite numerous attempts to close the case. The first episode

122
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 1>in the documentary airs tonight for the first time since

123
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 1>his month long hospitalization, the world catches a glimpse of

124
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Pope Francis. The Vatican releases a photo of the pontiff

125
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 1>to the faithful as many gather below the window to

126
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 1>his room at Jammelli Hospital in Rome. The Pope is

127
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 1>seen sitting in a wheelchair in front of an altar

128
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 1>at a small chapel inside that hospital. Doctor say the

129
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 1>eighty eight year old continues to respond pretty well the

130
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>treatment of double pneumonia. There is still non timetable for

131
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>his discharge from the hospital. Authorities in the Dominican Republic

132
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 1>this morning are not allowing an American college student to

133

137
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 3>For days.

138
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 6>Local authorities have maintained Reebe is not a suspect. He

139
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 6>is still being considered a witness to a possible drowning,

140
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.360
<v Speaker 6>but now sources familiar with the investigation say the lead

141
