<v Speaker 2>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

3
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Grace Guys forty one in Boston. We've had some on

4
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and off showers out there. It's eleven o'clock. Good morning.

5
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm Laurie Kirby. But we started Fitchburgh this hour, where

6
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 1>a police officer is on administrative leave while officials investigative

7
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>police involved shooting. Fitchburg police say a shirtless man was

8
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>making suicidal remarks walking on Lunenberg Street yesterday morning. When

9
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 1>an officer tried to de escalate the situation, the man

10
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 1>allegedly pointed a gun directly at them. That's when the

11
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 1>officer shot him. The man was taken to the hospital

12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>where he is now in stable condition. Robert F. Kennedy,

13
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Junior President elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Department

14
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 1>of Health and Human Services, on Capitol Hill today and

15
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>meeting with Republican Senators Mary Bruce, says there's a big

16
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>focus on his views on vaccines.

17
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 3>For years, Kennedy has spread false theories about vaccines, claiming

18
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 3>they're not safe and effective, even though most of the

19
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.200
<v Speaker 3>vaccines used today have been used safely for decades. In fact,

20
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 3>vaccines are considered one of the greatest public health accomplishments

21
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 3>of modern medicine. Still, Kennedy's personal attorney once lobbied the

22
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 3>FDA to revoke the polio vaccine. Over the weekend, Republican

23
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 3>leader Mitch McConnell, a survivor of polio, with a blunt warning,

24
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 3>saying efforts to undermine public confidence and proven cures are

25
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 3>not just uninformed, they're dangerous.

26
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Democratic candidates are lining up to become the next DNC chair.

27

<v Speaker 1>ABC's Brittany Shepherd is in Washington well the.

28
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.840
<v Speaker 4>Election to replace outgoing Democratic National Committee Chairman Jamie Harrison

29
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 4>is in full swing. The race for vice chair is

30
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 4>also heating up. Twenty four year old David Hogg, March

31
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 4>for Our Lives co founder and Parkland School shooting survivor,

32
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 4>is running for DNC vice chair. Hogg believes a party

33
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 4>needs to grapple with your message failings and take more

34
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 4>direct accountability. If elected, he would be one of the

35
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 4>youngest members of DNC leadership. Brittany Shepherd ABC News.

<v Speaker 1>Washington concessions are flowing a td garden after workers vote

37
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>to approve a new contract. Wbz's James Rojas is at

38
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 1>the garden with details.

39
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.960
<v Speaker 5>The union representing six hundred concession workers at TD Garden

40
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 5>says they feel relieved yet energized following the vote to

41
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 5>approve a contract. This comes after what it calls months

42
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 5>of grueling negotiations between them and Delaware North's hardline stances

43
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 5>and demands for concessions. UFCW Local fourteen forty five says

44
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 5>while there were some aspects of the contract still to

45
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 5>be desired, a close vote in favor led to the

46
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 5>contract's ratification on Sunday, ensuring better benefits for workers and

47
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 5>that fans coming to the garden get their concession favorites

48
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 5>at the garden. James Rojas WBZ, Boston's News radio.

49
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was raining and now it looks like

50
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the sun is trying to come out. I don't see

51
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 1>some in this forecast at all. Thirty nine in the

52
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>northwest part of the state, forty seven on the Capan

53
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Islands Boston. Right now forty one, we could still see

54
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>some on and off light showers. Then later tonight midnight

55
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 1>we could see some heavier rain and lingering showers. First

56
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>thing tomorrow morning, it's going to feel almost bomby. We're

57
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>headed for sixty tomorrow very mild and breaks of sun

58
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>much more in the rest of the week stick around.

59
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 1>So while investigators work to figure out who's controlling mysterious

60
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 1>drones buzzing around the nation. Boston Police make an arrest

61
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 1>of their own over the weekend, and police a Robert

62
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 1>Duffy of Charlestown and Jeremy Fulchik of Bridgewater. We're flying

63
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 1>drones too close to Logan Airport airspace. Both men are

64
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>being charged with trespassing. Additional fines or charges could be

65
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>added now they track that drone to the shuttered Long

66
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Island Health Campus. It hasn't been an operation for quite

67
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 1>a while. They were hiding inside. Suspect they believe fled

68
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 1>by boat. You're remindered you should not be flying near

69
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 1>airports or military bases, but there's a growing number of

70
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 1>drone sidings being reported all the way from Sacramento to here.

71
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey and New York have been experiencing the phenom

72
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 1>for weeks. Senator Chuck Schumer s's US agency should use

73
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>advanced tech to identify the mystery drones.

74
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 6>Senator Chuck Schumer is urging the federal government to deploy

75
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 6>better drone tracking technology and says he is pushing for

76
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 6>new legislation.

77
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 2>What a co sponsor legislation that will combat these drones

78
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 2>in a better way by allowing local police departments and

79
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 2>state police departments to help the FEDS inciting these drones.

80
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 6>The FBI says it's processing roughly five thousand drone related tips,

81
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 6>but less than one hundred have generated credible leads.

82
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, there was an international airport about an hour

83
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>tid of Manhattan, small one they had to close down

84
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend. I was listening in because of these

85
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 1>drones getting into the airspace. And of course we finally

86
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 1>heard from Governor Healley over the weekend who said she's

87
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 1>aware of the growing number of drone sidings across our

88
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 1>state and monitoring the situation closely. She said state police

89
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.839
<v Speaker 1>are working with local and federal agencies as well. We

90
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>also heard from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcis, who says

91
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 1>the drones pose no threat and if they learn of

92
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 1>any cause for concern, they will be transparent with communication.

93
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 1>A team of young astronomers at Wellesley College make a

94
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 1>wondrous discovery a new galaxy and it looks a lot

95
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 1>like our Milky Way, glittering with star clusters ten distinct

96
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>star clusters. They named it Firefly Sparkle. Images from NASA's

97
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 1>James Webb Space Telescope still doing its job well say

98
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 1>the galaxy was actually taking shape around six hundred million

99
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 1>years after the Big Bang, around in the same time

100
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>that our own galaxy was beginning to take shait. The

101
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 1>discovery was published in the journal Nature. From the junk
