3
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.640
<v Speaker 2>week is picking up some tempo. It is Wednesday already

4
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.239
<v Speaker 2>and we're waking up under cloudy skies this morning. For

5
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:20.879
<v Speaker 2>the most part, it is fifty six degrees. The News

6
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 2>at six brought to us by your New England's Toyota Dealer,

7
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.719
<v Speaker 2>your Hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for being with

8
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>us this morning. I'm Jeff Brown. We are stuck in

9
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a ruts.

10
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Thousands of litterbles of sunshine today with highs in the sixties.

11
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 2>It will trend a bit.

12
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Warmer tomorrow on Friday.

13
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 2>That is w b Z AKI Weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg.

14
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 2>How much warmer? How about eighty By the end of

15
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>this week. President Biden is headed to the Carolinas. This morning.

16
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 2>The President will survey the damage and meet with victims

17
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 2>families of Hurricane Helene. With a death toll now topping

18
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty, it's already one of the deadliest

19
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 2>storms in the United States this century, in fears that

20
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>that number is expected to go higher. The insurance industry

21
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>estimates damage from Heleen is likely to top thirty five

22
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars and that's just for starters. Experts say the

23
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 2>economic hit is not yet fully known, but could have

24
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>ripple effects beyond the obviously affected areas. Israeli Prime Minister

25
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran has made a big mistake and

26
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 2>vow's revenge is coming.

27
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 3>This is a special report from ABC News. Iran targets

28
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 3>israel I'm Michelle Franzen. Iran launching nearly two hundred missiles

29
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 3>at Israel earlier with air siren sounding. Most were intercepted

30
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 3>by Israel's defense system, and with the help of the

31
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 3>US President Biden at the White House monitored the situation.

32
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 3>My direction in Isa's military actively supported the defense vision.

33
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Israel says it is planning a response to iran strikes.

34
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.400
<v Speaker 3>National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

35
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 4>We will consult with the Israelis on next steps in

36
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 4>terms of the response and how to deal with what

37
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 4>Iran has just done, and we will continue to monitor

38
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 4>for further threats and attacks from Iran and its proxies.

39
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Iron's president and in a social media post on x

40
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 3>calling out Israel's Prime minister, saying Iran is not belligerent

41
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 3>but stands firmly against any threat.

42
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 2>The NTSB is in town. The federal government is now

43
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 2>involved in an investigation after a NBTA green Line trolley

44
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>jumps the tracks.

45
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 5>Shuttle buses are replacing green Line service from Union Square

46
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 5>and Medford Tufts to Union Station. This is because the

47
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 5>derail train needs to stay on scene while the NTSB

48
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 5>conducts its investigation near Leechmere Station. Ryan Coholan is the

49
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 5>nbta's chief operating officer. Sure your frustration and we're committed

50
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 5>to a full farrow investigation to ensure that this incident

51
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 5>is addressed. Fifty people were on the green Line train

52
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 5>when it derailed, with seven taken to the hospital for

53
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 5>minor injuries in Cambridge. James Rojas w b Z Boston's

00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Game two of Major League Baseball's Wild Card Playoffs today Detroit,

56
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City. The Mets and Padres all take the first

57
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 2>game of their respective series. WNBA Playoffs underway. The Connecticut

58
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Sun lose to the Links. The best of five series

59
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>is now tied at one game apiece and headed back

60
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to Connecticut. Next. Bruins beat the Flyers in the home

61
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 2>preseason finale. Opening Day or Opening Night for the NHL

62
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>is less than one week away. It is going to

63
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>cost you more to heat your home this winter. Probably

64
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>no surprise, but WB's East Drew moholland is here with

65
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>details more than Drew morning. I like to sleep cold,

66
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 2>you No, okay.

67
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 6>Recent report from a national energy group says heat will

68
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 6>be up about ten percent this season. The National Energy

69
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 6>Assistance Directors Association says electric heat will cost the most,

70
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 6>with easier hits for oil, natural gaps, and propane. Customers

71
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 6>in the western US hit the hardest, with more than

72
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 6>a twenty percent increase expected.

73
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Just what we need to hear. Well, all right, Drew,

74
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 2>thank you. Under mostly cloudy skies in fifty six degrees

75
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>here in the city, looks like it is going to

76
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>be a mostly cloudy morning at least, with some sun

77
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>poking through this afternoon. It might be more effective than

78
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>yesterday's brief glimpses of the sun. But either way, temperatures

79
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 2>are going to be right in the mid to upper sixties,

80
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>pretty much where we should be this time of year.

81
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be partly cloudy overnight tonight back into

82
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 2>the fifties. Tomorrow looks like it's going to be one

83
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 2>of the picks of the week mix of sun and

84
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 2>clouds and high temperatures right around seventy. And I say

85
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 2>that because on Friday, we're expecting some sunny skies to

86
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 2>return once again. High temperatures around eighty degrees on Friday weekend.

87
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Looks like we might start with a shower in spots

88
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday, but otherwise we're looking okay with daytime highs

89
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>slightly cooler in the sixties. Right now in Boston, it

90
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>is fifty six under mostly cloudy skies at six oh

91
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 2>five on this Wednesday morning. Policy not personal. That is

92
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 2>the prime takeaway in the one and only vice presidential debate.

93
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Details from ABC's Jonathan Carl.

94
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 7>Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, and Ohio Senator JD. Vance taking

95
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 7>the stage at the sole vice presidential debate hosted Vice CBS.

96
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 7>One of the few heated exchanges came on abortion and

97
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 7>reproductive rights. Vance, who is in the past favored a

98
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 7>national abortion band, softened his stayants to try to align

99
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 7>with Trump. I want us to support fertility treatments and

100
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 7>the Walls continued to attack Trump for appointing the justices

101
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 7>that overturned Roe v. Wade.

102
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump put this all into motion.

103
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 7>Both candidates are now back out to the battleground states.

104
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Many voters are not happy with either presidential nominee or

105
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.839
<v Speaker 2>their major political parties in the United States, but support

106
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 2>for America to establish a third party is beginning to erode.

107
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 2>A new Gallup poll finds still that a majority of

108
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 2>Americans fifty eight percent, want another option on the ballot.

109
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Voters have been asked about this very topic for more

110
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 2>than twenty years, and while recent trends suggests more would

111
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 2>like to leave well enough alone, the most recent results

112
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 2>do echo sentiments that have been in place since two

113
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>thousand and three. One of the doctors accused of providing

114
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>fatal drugs to friend star Matthew Perry will admit to

115
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.639
<v Speaker 2>charges in court today.

116
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Mark Chavez was a San Diego physician now charged

117
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>with illegally distributing ketamine that went to a doctor and

118
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 1>then to Matthew Perry. Chavez has closed his doctor's office,

119
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 1>given up his medical license, and will today tell a

120
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.959
<v Speaker 1>federal judge she is pleading guilty. His attorney says Chavez

121
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>deeply regrets providing katamine for Matthew Perry's use and takes

122
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 1>full responsibility. When sentenced. Chavez could get ten years in

123
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:22.279
<v Speaker 1>federal prison. Alex stoneyb Sinews, Los Angeles, and more legal

124
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>trouble is headed likely for Sean Colmes. Lawyers for alleged

125
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>victims of Combs say they planned to file more than

126
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>one hundred additional sexual assault lawsuits against the rapper known

127
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>as Diddy in the coming days. Prosecutors say some of

128
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the assaults occurred during the music mogul's infamous white parties

129
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>and involved victims as young as nine and fourteen years old.

130
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Combs is currently held without bail in a prison in
