00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Getting better on the weather front, warming up to a

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 2>high have forty eight degrees today downtown Boston. The rain

4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.839
<v Speaker 2>is stopped. It's thirty nine in Washington. The Senator's voting

5
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 2>right now on whether or not to confirm Health in

6
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Junior. Kennedy has faced

7
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 2>significant scrutiny because of his outspoken vaccine skepticism certainly in

8
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.640
<v Speaker 2>the past, and opinions about the COVID nineteen pandemic even

9
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>now and ahead of today's confirmation, Senator Marky told WBZ

10
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>News Radio he is prepared to fight the GOP over

11
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 2>what he calls a threat to public health.

12
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 3>This is bringing out the Malding in me because they're

13
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 3>going right to the healthcare of the auditary families in state.

14
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 3>In Nike, hundred and eighteen percent of children died before

15
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.280
<v Speaker 3>the age of five. The average life expectancy was forty

16
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 3>eight years of age because of Medicare, Medicaid vaccines, clean water,

17
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 3>clean air, with extended life expectancy by thirty years. They're

18
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 3>putting all of that progress in jeopardy, and I'm going

19
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 3>to be battling them every single step of the way.

20
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Senator Marky conceies the Democrats don't have the votes to

21
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 2>stop Republicans. He insists, it's important to put them on

22
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 2>the record so voters can hold them accountable. Again, this

23
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>is underway and we will have a lot more on

24
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 2>the culbination of this vote. Shortly. Health experts thought measles

25
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 2>had been wiped out. Now an outbreak in Texas is

26
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 2>making them think twice.

27
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 4>The patients had not been vaccinated against measles. Vaccination rates

28
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 4>nationally had been falling since COVID nineteen sparked health concerns

29
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 4>that doctors say are unfounded symptoms, says Zach Holbrooks at

30
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 4>the South Plains Health District in West Texas.

31
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Running does cough, high fever, and the biggest one's going

32
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to be a rash.

33
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 4>Most cases are mild, but measles can bring on pneumonia

35
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>A shelter funding bill passes the Senate on Beacon Hill.

36
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Now leaders in both chambers must reconcile the differences, of

37
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.439
<v Speaker 2>which there are little. They agree on the amount of

38
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 2>funding to keep the emergency shelters running through this June

39
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 2>four hundred and twenty five million. They agree on shortening

40
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>shelter stays to six months and tightening eligibility, and while

41
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>they agree that only Massachusetts residents should be eligible, the

42
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>Senate bill creates a wait list for applicants who appear

43
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 2>to be but who need a little more time to

44
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>get it verified. Republican state senators did not like this,

45
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>saying it leaves too much room for families to get

46
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 2>into a shelter who simply shouldn't be there. A House

47
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Republican is collecting signatures on a petition to have his colleague,

48
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Congresswoman Ilan Jma were deported. Brian shook with the update

49
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>on Congresswoman.

50
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 5>Omar Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, became a US citizen in

51
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 5>two thousand after fleeing Somalia's Civil War. Texas Republican branding

52
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 5>Gill is circulating the petition, claiming Omar is biased toward

53
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 5>illegal immigrants. Several Democrats have criticized gil and the Republican Party.

54
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 5>Congresswoman Promela Jayapaul wrote on x it's disgusting that Republicans

55
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 5>are attempting to raise money by threatening to deport a

56
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 5>US citizen just because they disagree with her. I'm Brian Shook.

57
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Visibility could be a challenge out there. We have a

58
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 2>little bit of fog as those temps rise. We have

59
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.840
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of snow in Conquered New Hampshire and

60
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 2>looks like in Maine still snowing there a lot colder.

61
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 2>We're already in the forties. We're headed for forty eight

62
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 2>today in particular along the coast, the Cape in the Islands,

63
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>and tonight gale warning for those coastal areas, very clear, moonlit,

64
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>cold in the twenties. Tomorrow's sunny and cold, still windy,

65
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 2>thirty three are high. We have snow, sleet and freezing

66
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>rain Saturday night, perhaps all rain late, especially on the

67
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>south coast and the Cape, and then Sunday a little

68
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>bit of snow and ice for interior sections. Let's go

69
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>back to Logan Airport. We've been tracking some of the

70
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 2>delays there and they're up now. Just shive two hundred

71
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 2>flight Aware now reporting one hundred ninety three delays at

72
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Logan Airport. If you're picking up or dropping off, or

73
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>if you're an uber driver out there, a rideshare driver,

74
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>there you go thirty cancelations at Logan Airport. WBC's Jim

00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 2>McKay is talking to some frustrated travelers at Logan.

76
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Got the text message saying flight was canceled and to

77
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 1>wait for an updated plan. Bee Auckman is one of

78
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.639
<v Speaker 1>the many travelers feeling big time frustration. Supposed to be

79
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 1>heading back to Toronto, but that flight status is up

80
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 1>in the air, as they say. He's even considering leaving

81
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Logan a different way.

82
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 4>So weld inline. We're just contemplating our options, even considering driving.

83
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.199
<v Speaker 1>Don't be surprised to find problems flying out of town

84
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 1>this week.

85
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.120
<v Speaker 4>I was supposed to fly soon, actually not.

86
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Elena has her own issues trying to get back to

87
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:10.360
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey.

88
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 4>The information was that we didn't have any more pandas,

89
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 4>so we went waiting for pilotts.

90
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Get ready because we're only just getting started at Logan.

92
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Eva's butcher's shop in North Andover thought they had made

93
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>a massive sale five thousand pounds of meat to one customer.

94
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Of course, the deal was too good to be true.

95
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Here's Christina Rex with CBS News Boston.

96
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 6>Because while the money came through at first the meat

97
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 6>was purchased on a stolen credit card discovered from the shop.

98
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 6>Got a frantic call.

99
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.360
<v Speaker 5>And they said, I'm not from Massachusetts. I don't live

100
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 5>in Massachusetts.

101
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how you got my credit card.

102
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 6>The shop now has to return the sixty thousand dollars

103
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 6>it made on the sales, and another twenty thousand dollars

104
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 6>of holiday profits are frozen. Two just a straight feeling

105
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 6>of betrayal. The Alonzo family doesn't know if they could

106
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 6>pull through this loss. For Roberto, who started Avis Farm

107
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 6>as an ode to his butcher father in Argentina, this

108
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:12.600
<v Speaker 6>feels personal.

109
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.079
<v Speaker 4>Talking about the people.

110
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:19.480

112
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>rename the Gulf of Mexico, Weymouth Mayor Bob Henlend figures

113
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>he can rename Hingham Bay. On Facebook, the mayor rice

114
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.759
<v Speaker 2>with tongue firmley in cheek that he was issuing a

115
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.560
<v Speaker 2>new executive order that Hingham Bay would henceforth be known

116
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 2>as the Gulf of Weymouth. He writes the action is

117
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.160
<v Speaker 2>justified because three Harbor Islands are actually part of Weymouth

118
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:49.720
