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

2
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Good Tuesday afternoon. We have sixty three degrees, mostly cloudy

3
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:18.199
<v Speaker 2>in Boston. It's four o'clock. I'm Sherry Small. Here's what's

4
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 2>happening to our top story this hour. Ran launches dozens

5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>of missiles at Israel. No casualties been reported in the attack,

6
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>but Israel is vowing vowing rather to retaliate. The White

7
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.840
<v Speaker 2>House says US troops health Israel defend itself during the attack.

8
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>CBS is Alison Keys with the Lads as the.

9
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 3>White House briefing. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan called the

10
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 3>attack a significant escalation and confirmed that US naval destroyers

11
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 3>helped Israel shoot down the Iranian missiles.

12
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 4>We're proud of the actions that we've taken alongside Israel

13
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 4>to protect and defend Israel.

14
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Sullivan says. The Iranian attack appear to have been defeated

15
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 3>and ineffective. He says President Biden and Vice President Harris

16
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 3>monitored everything from the situation room. Alison Keys CBS News Washington.

17
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>And The missile barrage came shortly after a deadly shooting

18
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 2>in Tel Aviv that left six people dead. The two

19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 2>gunmen involved in the shooting were also killed. Another story

20
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 2>we've been following on the picket lines at thirty six

21
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 2>ports from Maine to Texas, dock workers went on strike

22
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>at midnight, and that includes workers at Conley Terminal in

23
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>South Boston. WBC TVs Christina Rex report they're.

24
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 5>Now striking right at the entrance to Conley Terminal, which

25
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 5>is now closed. A union rep here tells me about

26
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 5>three hundred workers in Boston are striking, but there are

27
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 5>twenty five thousand up and down the East and Gulf Coasts.

28
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 5>Their six year contract expired at midnight. The International Long

29
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 5>Shortman's Association is demanding better wages and a stock to

30
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 5>automation taking over their jobs. Dock workers often make six

31
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 5>figures and with overtime that can top two hundred thousand

32
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 5>dollars a year. But the big concern is automation taking

33
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 5>away good paying, blue collar jobs, and.

34
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 2>There are fears that the strike could reignite inflation and

35
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>cast shortages of goods that strike goes on for more

36
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 2>than a few weeks. Congresswoman Iona Presley and other elected

37
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>officials joined postal workers at a rally in Boston today,

38
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 2>sounding the alarm about what they call substandard performance by

39
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.960
<v Speaker 2>the postal Service. WBC's Carl Stevens reports.

40
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Local workers from the American Postal Workers Union are teaming

41
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>up with Congresswoman i Aana Pressley and other elected officials

42
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 1>here to deliver a message. They say mail delivery has

43
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>gotten too slow to unreliable. Congresswoman Pressley says management is

44
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to blame.

45
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 6>Daily my office, my district office hears from constituents that

46
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 6>there are male delays or it's not even delivered at all.

47
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 7>For weeks, having to stand in.

48
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 6>Lines at their local branch and sometimes showing up to

49
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 6>mail a letter, and the office is just closed.

50
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 7>With no explanation.

51
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Back in August, Congresswoman Pressley and other members of the

52
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Massachusetts congressional delegation sent a letter to the US Postmaster

53
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>General expressing concern over what they call the deterioration of

54
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 1>service across the commonwealth. Stephen STOBDYBC Boston's News Radio, Now.

55
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Let's check the ACU weather forecast. We could expect a

56
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>couple of sprinkles around this evening, and then it'll just

57
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 2>be mostly cloudy tonight. A low of fifty six in Boston,

58
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>fifty in those coolest inland suburbs. Tomorrow, clouds might break

59
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.759
<v Speaker 2>for some sunshine in the afternoon. High sixty four Thursday,

60
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 2>partly to mostly sunny, a nice day, though, high is

61
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>sixty seven to the low seventies. And then Friday we

62
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>warm up to nearly eighty. Highs in the mid to

63
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:34.039
<v Speaker 2>high seventies. And right now we are seeing mostly cloudy skies.

64
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.599
<v Speaker 2>As I look out the window, I do see the

65
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 2>sun is fot finally trying to make an appearance in Boston,

66
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.960
<v Speaker 2>trying to peek through that cloud cover. Sixty three degrees

67
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 2>at four oh five. All right. Some drivers prefer the

68
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 2>safety of a big new car, but others, like this

69
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 2>local man, prefer the thrill of an old microcar. Here's

70
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 2>WBC's Matt here. This is a nineteen fifty seven et SETA.

71
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 7>This is a microcar. My shoulder is literally touching my driver.

00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 7>Chart's schools happy to come to life and know for

73
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.759
<v Speaker 7>a ride. He owns one of the most impressive collections

74
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 7>of rare cars I've ever seen. To get out of

75
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 7>this one, we had to open the front door, which

76
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 7>includes the hood and the windshield of thank you. Would

77
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 7>you call this somewhat of an addiction. Oh yeah, serious addiction.

78
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 7>It started when he was a teenager. Now he's a

79
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 7>grandfather with multiple garages covered almost completely with microcars.

80
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 6>These are the Messroschnids.

81
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 2>These are three wheelers.

82
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 1>It's got a canopy that opens like an airplane opens.

83
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 7>Obviously they're not the most comfortable rides. But whoever said

84
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 7>driving should be boring?

85
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 3>If you ride an old car, you take the back road.

86
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 7>It's more interesting than the highways.

87
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>It just makes me happy.

88
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.680

00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 2>of passing herself off as a Boston Public school student

91
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>is continued until later this month. Today's brief hearing for

92
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Shelby Hewitt lasted just a few minutes and consisted mostly

93
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 2>of attorneys having a discussion at sidebar. The Canton woman,

94
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 2>it has pleaded not guilty to charges including forgery and

95
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 2>identity fraud. Prosecutors say that she posed as a student

96
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 2>from twenty twenty one through last year while working for

<v Speaker 2>more on who the candidates are trying to win over.

102
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.199
<v Speaker 4>Talk to strategists in both of the campaigns. They're both

103
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:36.600
<v Speaker 4>targeting the same voter. Tim Walls comes from the Upper Midwest.

104
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.879
<v Speaker 4>He's looking for that industrial worker, a union member who

105
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 4>lives in Michigan, in Pennsylvania, in Georgia, in different parts

106
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 4>of the country to come out and give the Democrats

107
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.199
<v Speaker 4>a chance to show that the Democrats are advocates for

108
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.439
<v Speaker 4>working people. Senator Vance famously Will wrote the book Hillbilly Elogy.

109
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 4>He wants to appeal to those same voters, working voters

110
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 4>who are struggling, they feel economic pain.

111
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 2>And Mike's they will not be muted as they were

112
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.959
<v Speaker 2>in the presidential debate. Tune in to the CBS News

113
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>Vice Presidential Debate that's tonight at nine pm. We'll air

00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>it right here on WBZ News Radio and you'll find

115
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 2>it streaming on the iHeartRadio app. The project's Skydrop treasure

116
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 2>hunt for a gold trophy with a massive prize, is

117
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>now said to be hidden in the woods of western

118
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.160
<v Speaker 2>mass Two video game developers from New Hampshire hid the

119
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 2>pure gold trophy that's valued at twenty six thousand dollars

120
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:33.079
<v Speaker 2>somewhere in the woods, and whoever finds it also gets

121
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 2>the prize bounty that is currently over eighty thousand dollars

122
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 2>that's made up of entry fees from people joining in

123
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>on the hunt. Now, when the hunt started last month,

124
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.160
<v Speaker 2>the map showed the trophy could be in a five

125
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 2>hundred mile radius that encompassed much of the northeast and

126
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>areas as far south as Virginia. But now the circle's

127
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 2>diameter is only thirty five miles within Massachusetts, stretching from

128
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 2>South Hadley to the border of Vermont, and that circle

129
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.519
<v Speaker 2>will continue shrinking until it is only one foot in diameter.

130
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.199
<v Speaker 2>That's on October tenth. By then someone will have figured

131
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 2>out where that treasure is hidden. You are now in Belloo.
