00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio redefining local news.

2
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Grace Guys seventy in Boston is eleven o'clock. I'm Laurie Kirby.

3
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Good morning. This just in to the WBZ newsroom. A

4
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Senate committee has just passed two content resolutions after Stewart

5
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Healthcare CEO Ralph Delottori defied a sub poena and refused

6
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:34.119
<v Speaker 2>to testify. Senators wanted the CEO to explain how Stewart

7
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 2>got itself into a financial crisis that led to the

8
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 2>closure of hospitals in Massachusetts and at times the death

9
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>of patients. Before the votes we heard from Massachusetts Senator

10
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>at Marquee today.

11
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 3>We are making clear that doctor d Lattori and the

12
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 3>other CEOs, private equity investors, and corporate executives who treat

13
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 3>the healthcare system like their own personal piggybank that you'all

14
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 3>millions do not share, do not shield you from accountability.

15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 3>To a legal order issued by the United States Senate.

16
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>It's not just Massachusetts. Steward operates other facilities and hospitals

17
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.079
<v Speaker 2>across the nation. Now, one of these resolutions allows the

18
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Senate to sue the CEO to compel him to testify.

19
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 2>The other sends the matter to the Justice department for

20
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>potential criminal prosecution. Again, both resolutions just passed unanimously. Two

21
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 2>dozen people were killed and thousands more wounded when walkie

22
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 2>talkies and pagers held by Hesbela members suddenly exploded simultaneously

23
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 2>this week. Israel's defense minister declared a new phase of

24
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 2>war yesterday, hours before his country's military launched new strikes

25
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 2>on targets in southern Lebanon. So what does it mean

26
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 2>for the war in Gaza.

27
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 4>The families of hostages held by Hamas believe attention is

28
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 4>being diverted away from Gaza and their loved ones will

29
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 4>pay the price.

30
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Will the people well, the lives of the hostages.

31
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 1>We don't grant an ail out, never envy.

32
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 4>That's the worry of many. Following the attacks on Hesbealaz

33
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 4>communication devices and Israel's resumption of air strikes.

34
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Hesbeloved vows retaliation, spiking fears have an escalation across the region.

35
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Revere is trying to crack down on violence in its

36
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>high school. Violence at the school came into the public

37
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 2>spotlight last month when video from a student on student

38
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>brawl surfaced on social media. Well. Now, a district subcommittee

39
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 2>is voted to hire a security consultant who can suggest

40
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>ways to curb the chaos. This is on top of

41
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.599
<v Speaker 2>the extra school resource officer district hired over the summer.

42
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.080
<v Speaker 2>By the way, the school committee can weigh in on

43
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 2>the issue themselves during a public forum at the high school.

44
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Little rain out there. We're seeing that rain right now

45
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>in Yarmouth on the Cape also the Islands, we have

46
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>a rip current statement. It's a warning essentially if you swim.

47
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>That's a very strong rip current out there. Through eight

48
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 2>o'clock tonight, mostly cloudy, breezy. We do have a strong

49
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>chance of rain anywhere along the north Shore, Sashore, south coast,

50
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the Capean Islands through this evening. And again we're seeing

51
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 2>that sunshine in central mass Wooster at sunny right now

52
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 2>and substantially warmer. It's seventy degrees there. The rest of

53
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 2>the week, through the first part of the weekend is

54
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 2>going to be dreary and damp and breezy. In fact,

55
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>we'll have some steady or rain on Saturday before bottomn

56
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>arrives on Sunday and the sun arrives as well. The

57
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>city of Quinsy is getting millions of dollars in federal

58
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 2>funding to give a decade old pier the makeover it

59
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>so desperately needs. Apparently. Wbz's James Rojas is in Quinsy.

60
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 5>The pier here at Marina Bay is over thirty years old,

61
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 5>so it has its fair share of wear and tear,

62
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 5>but there's a plan to modernize it thanks to a

63
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 5>multimillion dollar federal grant awarded to the city of Quinsy

64
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 5>for a new peer float and ramp system.

65
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Are ecstatic, very excited, very excited.

66
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's wonderful.

67
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Anything to you know, improve it, keep it going, music great.

68
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely a great investment.

69
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 5>The MBTA says the initiative will specifically benefit elderly writers

70
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 5>and those with disabilities by enhancing the accessibility and overall experience.

71
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 2>I agree it will be handicapped accessible if they fix.

72
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 5>That and Quinsey James Rojas WBZ Boston Snooze Radio.

73
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Once again, Boston Hotel workers walk off the job and

74
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.879
<v Speaker 2>onto the picket lines. This is the third wave of

75
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>citywide Stridson's Labor Day weekend. Nearly twelve hundred room attendants,

76
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 2>bell persons, cooks, banquet servers, and front desk agents are

77
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>on strike. They're demanding higher wages and better benefits. Again,

78
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 2>we do have a reporter unseen. We've been bringing you

79
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>some of that sound. Keep it here. We're also streaming

80
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 2>on the iHeartRadio app. Britain loves its pobs, but some

81
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 2>are saying beer bellies are no laughing matter. ABC's Tom

82
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Rivers with some stout advice.

83
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 1>Academics at Cambridge University want the government to force pubs

84
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 1>here to reduce the size of pint glasses by a

85
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>third in the name of health concerns. The country's how

86
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Secretary says.

87
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm really not interested being the fun police or telling

88
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>people how to live their lives.

89
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 1>But Will Streeting appears to be sipping out of both

90
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 1>sides of us mouth.

91
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 5>We do have to take this issue of chronic disease

92
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.800
<v Speaker 5>seriously and the impact it's having on our lives.

93
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Typical angry reaction from pubgoers here who say fold my beer,
