00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 2>News fifty nine degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. Perhaps the best news

4
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 2>of the day on Wall Street today came just a

5
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 2>moment ago when the market closed for the day. It

6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>was a terrible ride on Wall Street all the way

7
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>down to the basement. The Nasdaq fell four percent today,

8
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred and twenty seven points, the down down nine

9
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty two, the S and P five hundred,

10
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:38.880
<v Speaker 2>down one hundred and fifty five points. And as bad

11
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>as those numbers are, off the lows so it was

12
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>even worse during the day as some Wall Street investors

13
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>questioned the president's comments from over the weekend that he

14
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>may let the economy endure through the tariffs and other policies.

15
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>President Trump had told Fox News over the weekend that

16
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.039
<v Speaker 2>he hates to predict things and wouldn't say whether he

17
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.159
<v Speaker 2>thought a recession was coming. The less, Wall Street sold

18
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 2>off today and sold off big Todd. We'll get more

19
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 2>details on what happened on Wall Street and see where

20
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 2>these numbers finally settle as we check it with Bloomberg

21
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.319
<v Speaker 2>in just about seven minutes. The IRS could lose up

22
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>to half of its workforce from federal layoffs. CBS's Stacey

28
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 3>the middle of what she called a slam dunk case

29
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 3>on a multinational company earning roughly three billion dollars a year.

30
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 3>It's now stalled.

31
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:39.000

42
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 4>The president sounded upbeat about the talks, but also questions

43
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 4>whether Ukraine actually wants peace well right.

44
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.199

47
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.560

52
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.520

53
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Eric Menendez lied repeatedly about why they killed their parents

54
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen eighty nine.

57
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 5>their crimes and completely accepting responsibility for their actions. This

58
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 5>is where the Menendezes fall short.

59
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 2>The brothers are serving life terms without the possibility of parole.

60
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.639

63
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>going to have mainly clear skies as we head into

64
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.199
<v Speaker 2>the evening tonight. The temperature is falling back to about

65
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven in Boston, into the twenties and some of

66
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 2>the coldest inland suburbs. After we ran into the low

67
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>sixties today, Tomorrow we'll probably get to sixty again, and

68
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 2>in fact more spots may get into the low sixties tomorrow.

69
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 2>Cape and Islands won't be one of them, though. Upper forties.

70
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 2>That's going to do it for the Cape and Islands,

71
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>with breezy conditions and some sunshine. Clear to partly cloudy

72
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow night. Thirty eight in Boston, low thirties in the

73
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>inland suburbs. Looks like we'll be the forties Wednesday and Thursday.

74
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Some sunshine on Wednesday, some rain and or snow to

75
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.719
<v Speaker 2>start on Thursday before we just sit in the clouds.

76
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Right now, it is fifty nine degrees in Boston. An

77
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 2>elementary school and the Hunt will be getting a greenhouse

78
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>thanks to some green from a generous donor.

79
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 7>We Hunt School Superintendent Robert Leebo says an anonymous donor

80
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 7>has donated eighty thousand dollars to build a greenhouse right

81
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 7>here at the Johnson Elementary School.

82
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 6>The plan is to get it up this spring and

83
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 6>have it working with our kids this fall. They would

84
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 6>be growing produced not only for the school cafeteria, but

85
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 6>also running a farmer's market.

86
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 7>While the eighty thousand will cover most of the costs,

87
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 7>they still need to raise more than twenty thousand to

88
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 7>make the greenhouse a reality.

89
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.240
<v Speaker 6>And we're doing a brick fundraiser, which is where you

90
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 6>can purchase for one hundred dollars an engraved brick.

91
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 7>And those bricks will form the walkway leading from the

92
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 7>school to the greenhouse. From the Hunt Carl Stephens, WBC

00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>It is almost spring. That's good news for those who

95
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 2>like the warmer weather and trees and flowers in bloom.

96
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:06.920

<v Speaker 1>than fifty days longer than it was in the nineteen seventies,

100
