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

2
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:13.279
<v Speaker 2>News forty two degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. A federal lawsuit filed

4
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 2>in Boston fighting back against President Trump's moves to close

5
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>the Department of Education. Lawsuit filed by the American Federation

6
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>of Teachers, the Somerville and East Hampton Districts, and other groups,

7
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>is asking a judge to block the administration's plan to

8
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>cut the agency's workforce in half. They say only Congress

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>can close the Department for President has told Education Secretary

10
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Linda mcmahn to take any steps permittable by law to

11
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>shut it down. A federal judge reviewing the Trump administration's

12
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.799
<v Speaker 2>use of wartime deportation powers has denied a request that

13
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 2>he lifts his temporary restraining order that blocks further use

14
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 2>of the seventeen ninety eight law on alleged Venezuelan gang members.

15
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 3>In this latest order, Judge James Boseburg says the president's

16
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 3>use of the Alien Enemies Act is unprecedented outside what

17
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 3>he calls a typical wartime context. The judge says anyone

18
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 3>subject to the presidential proclamation needs to be given the

19
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 3>chance to challenge the government's assertions that they're members of

20
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 3>Trende Arragua. This afternoon, an appeals court above Bosburg will

21
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 3>hear arguments as the Trump administration pushes to lift the

22
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 3>judge's temporary restraining order, which now blocks further deportations of

23
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 3>Venezuelan's under the seventeen ninety eight law.

24
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Not is ABC Stephen Portnoy. The President says he'll impose

25
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 2>a twenty five percent tariff on countries that buy oil

26
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>or gas from Venezuela.

27
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 4>President Trump writs on social media that Venezuela has been

28
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 4>quote very hostile to the US and accused that country

29
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 4>of purposely sending tens of thousands of criminals here. Because

30
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 4>of that, the President says we'll put a twenty five

31
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 4>percent tariff on all imports from any country that buys

32
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 4>oil or gas from Venezuela. This will go into effects

33
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 4>starting April, second part of a big round of tariffs

34
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 4>expected on that day. China could be impacted by this

35
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 4>move as a major buyer of crude from Venezuela. Venezuela

36
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 4>also supplies to the US about three percent of all

37
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 4>oil and gas brought into the country comes from Venezuela.

39
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 2>The death toll grows in Gaza, with another hospital struck.

40
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 5>The IDF saying it struck Nasser Hospital, Gaza's largest hospital

41
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 5>that's still operational, that missile strike damaging huge sections of

42
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 5>the facility. According to an American doctor inside at the

43
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 5>time of the strike, that I spoke to the IDF

44
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 5>saying it targeted and killed a senior member of Hamas's

45
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 5>political team, using the hospital as a base. Hamas saying

46
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 5>he was there to receive medical treatment. And now since

47
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 5>the start of this war, the death toll topping fifty

48
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 5>thousand people, say health officials.

49
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>The horrors in Gaza continue another ABC's Matt Rivers. Meantime,

50
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>activists say one of the Palestinian co directors of the

51
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 2>Oscar winning documentary film No Other Land was attacked by

52
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Jewish settlers and arrested this evening. Today's the first day

53
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 2>for along awaited South Coast commuter rail service. The one

54
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>point one billion dollar project to connect the region to

55
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 2>downtown Boston's taken decades. For the first time in sixty

56
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 2>five years, Fall River, Freetown, Middleborough, New Bedford, and Taunton

57
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 2>will have passenger rail service. The line begins with two branches,

58
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>one in Fall River, the other in New Bedford. They

59
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>link up at a new station in East Taunton. Trips

60
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.439
<v Speaker 2>will take riders about an hour and a half to

61
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>get from end to end. Still in the rain and

62
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>will be for a while longer. In fact, we've got

63
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 2>some pretty heavy rains off across parts of central Massachusetts,

64
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>flowing down into parts of Rhode Island and Connecticut. It's

65
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 2>pushing off to the north and east, so getting a

66
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>little bit heavier stuff even closer to Boston. Now looks

67
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 2>like we've got some downpours. At least the radar is

68
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 2>pretty hot out along the Route two corridor out toward Harvard,

69
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>getting into Leminster, Fitchburg, and then back down one to

70
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 2>ninety towards Stirling and Holden and Worcester, so there's some

71
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 2>heavier downpours. There's also some not so heavy rain that

72
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>also could impact your commute this afternoon, and this will

73
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>continue to push off to the north and east and

74
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>eventually get out of here, bringing just some partly cloudy

75
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 2>skies later to night. Temperatures, which have been mainly in

76
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the thirties and low forties, will pretty much stay there.

77
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we'll lose a couple degrees tonight, but not much. Tomorrow,

78
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 2>we'll have some sun and clouds. It'll be breezy and milder.

79
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Temperatures get into the low fifties. We'll be in the

80
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 2>upper forties on Wednesday, a couple of showers around, maybe

81
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 2>even some heavier rain showers or drizzle over the Capan Islands.

82
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Partly sunny again. Thursday. Temperature is about fifty Right now,

83
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 2>we're forty two degrees in Boston. A kickoff to the

84
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>country's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary and Paul Revere's infamous ride.

85
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Wbz's Ailes Schaffel with detail.

86
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 6>Local sign maker and artist Billy Crosby got quite a

87
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 6>commission to build a larger than life lantern, modeled after

88
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 6>the ones used to warn that the Red.

89
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Coats were on the way by sea. They said they

90
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 2>wanted a lantern. I said, we can make you a lantern,

91
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:44.560
<v Speaker 2>and then they said we want a big lantern.

92
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 6>This thing is ten feet tall and took a month

93
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 6>to build. With the anniversary of the ride around the corner.

94
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 6>Crosby says he was honored to have been tapped to

95
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 6>make this thing, which is now stationed in front of

96
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:54.040
<v Speaker 6>the Conquered Museum.

97
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to do it as soon as they said it,

98
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and then we've been doing science at Cocket since nineteen

99
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 2>seventy seven since I was a KI, so I was

100
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 2>psyched to be involved in it.

101
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 6>They threw an elaborate lighting ceremony, complete with bike riders

102
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 6>carrying a torch from the old North Church to this

103
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 6>very spot, and they were a little late, so the

104
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 6>MC had to.

105
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Vent I'll be coming around the corner when they come. Eventually,

106
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 2>though the lantern was lit.

109
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Let's say something hilly and going downhill fast. Ragged Mountain

110
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>is up for sale, The Union Leader reports. Ragged Mountain

111
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 2>in Danbury, New Hampshire, is on the market, along with

112
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 2>up to one thousand surrounding acres. We'll break out that

113
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 2>old baseball glove and then throw it away where we're going.

114
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 2>We don't need gloves.

115
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Baseball was a much different game in the eighteen sixties.

116
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 2>There's no gloves.

117
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 1>But when the ball gets hit and it hits the

118
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.279
<v Speaker 1>ground and it bounces one time and you catch it,

119
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>that's an out. And it was called bound ball, says
