00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local.

2
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>News, beautiful, sunny and Boston. We're in the fifties, headed

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 2>for the sixties. Today at eleven o'clock, Good morning on

4
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Laurie Kirby, and class is canceled again, kids for thousands

5
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 2>of you. Educators are back in the picket lines on

6
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.039
<v Speaker 2>the North Shore after no progress at the negotiating cable

7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 2>over the weekend. I believe Hez's James Rohas' is in Beverly.

8
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Not enough progress is made over the weekend in negotiations

9
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 1>to call off the strikes in Gloucester, Marblehead and here

10
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 1>in Beverly. This comes as the school Committee's raise concerns

11
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 1>about students needing to make up school days when this

12
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.560
<v Speaker 1>is all said and done. Educators like Caddie Chaconia say

13
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 1>they don't know how it will be made up.

14
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 3>Schools in the past have taken away either a February

15
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 3>or an April break and then tacked on days to

16
00:00:58.439 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 3>the end of the school year.

17
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.479
<v Speaker 1>Says they too want to get back into the classroom,

18
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 1>and today their students are driving or marching that point home.

19
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.840
<v Speaker 3>The students with their parents will be marching from Beverly

20
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.400
<v Speaker 3>High School all the way to City Hall in Beverly.

21

<v Speaker 1>James Rojas WBZ Boston's News radio.

22
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 2>This afternoon, teachers in Revere are rallying at their city

23
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 2>hall in events of new contract negotiations in Revere. These

24
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 2>teachers have been working for nearly a year without a contract. Meantime,

25
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.680
<v Speaker 2>some schools remain closed today and Chelsea after a massive

26
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>warehouse fire breaks out overnight. That building is now in

27
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>danger of falling down collapsing, posing a potential risk to

28
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 2>schools in the area. Several fire departments came to help

29
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>put the nine alarmer at the four story mill building

30
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 2>on Crescent Avenue out, but they're going to remain unseen

31
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 2>knocking down those hot spots, so they'll be there for

32
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>most of the day. We have had some impact on

33
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>the roads in the area as well, so far, no

34
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>injuries reported. Brush Fires continue to burn across the state

35
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.719
<v Speaker 2>and now Atedinborough Police aid they've arrested a man responsible

36
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>for starting some of them. Seventy two year old Gerard

37
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Jenness is accused of intentionally setting fires near Attleborough Elks Lodge,

38
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>the Manchester Reservoir and Attleborough Animals Shelter. He's being a

39
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>rain in Attleborough District Court today, and our state Department

40
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 2>of Fires Services says as of last night, there have

41
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 2>been one hundred and twenty three brush fires reported over

42
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>the last seven days. It's a beautiful day out there.

43
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>We've had such nice warm weather, but again it's too dry.

44
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>We actually need rainy weather. Some of you saw a

45
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>rain dropper too before that kind of shriveled up very

46
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 2>quickly and too Hie. Today should be sixty two, but

47
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing right now almost sixty fifty eight in New Bedford,

48
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 2>fifty eight in Medford, Brockton. Right now you're on the

49
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 2>cusp of sixty degrees, so we're warming up quickly. I

50
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 2>anticipate maybe we'll be closer to sixty five. We'll see

51
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>if I'm wrong. Clear breezy tonight forty three in Boston.

52
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow mostly sunny, breezy, high fifty seven ditto on Wednesday, beautiful,

53
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>maybe some rain on Thursday. President elect Donald Trump adds

54
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 2>to the list of controversial nominees for his new cabinet.

55
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll get to that, but first, the latest on the

56
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>man he wants to serve as his attorney general, which

57
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 2>is Matt Gates, the former Florida congressman. Some members of

58
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>his own party are raising questions and they want to

59
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>see that report by the House Ethics Committee, which looked

60
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>into accusations of drug use and sexual misconduct.

61
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 4>ABC News previously reported a woman told the committee Gates

62
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.120
<v Speaker 4>had sex with her in twenty seventeen when she was

63
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 4>seventeen years old. Now, another woman's lawyer tells ABC News,

64
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 4>my client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she

65
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 4>witnessed Matt Gates having sex with a minor. Gates has

66
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 4>denied the allegations.

67
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.520
<v Speaker 2>And we're learning who the incoming administration was to head

68
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>the FCC, Brendan Carr. Brendan Carr, who vowed to take

69
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.599
<v Speaker 2>on censorship by all the big tech companies like Facebook

70
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and the like. He just got tapped for that key post.

71
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Quincy's Granite Links is beautiful. It's considering, though, a huge expansion,

72
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and it would transform the local golf course into something

73
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>much bigger than what you already see. I believe he's

74
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 2>he's Jim McKay checked in with the neighbors.

75
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 5>Some people who live near Granted Links aren't exactly too

76
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 5>excited to hear about the potential of more expansion and

77
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 5>more construction, putting.

78
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>A bit a large business on the other end of

79
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>the property.

80
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:37.319
<v Speaker 2>Like that.

81
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 5>Bob objecting to the plans for a new hotel and

82
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 5>expanded residential units at Granted Links. This city owns the property.

83
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 5>It's leased out to Quarry Hills Associates. They're looking to

84
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 5>re up their long term lease so they can get

85
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 5>a project started. Residents who are concerned about local walking trails.

86
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Here and unfortunately I think they're just doing it for the.

87
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 5>Money, are worried they may be left behind, despite assurances

88
00:04:58.519 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 5>they won't be.

89
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 4>The state it's to approve the move.

90
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 5>It's up for discussion this week at Quincy City Council.

91
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 5>For Bob, we know how he.

92
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Feels negative for the just the whole thing in Quincy.

<v Speaker 5>Jimmickada WLYBZ, Boston's news radio.

94
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Carrot they're supposed to be good for us, right, Well,

95
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 2>here we go. One person has died and dozens of

96
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>others are ill after eating carrots linked to an E.

97
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Coli out break, And we have one case in Massachusetts

98
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>at this point in time, and the CDC is issuing

99
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>a recall of organic carrots and organic baby carrots from

100
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 2>supplier grim Way Farms. There have been nearly forty cases

101
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>of E. Coli reported in eighteen States linked to those

102
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.920
<v Speaker 2>organic carrots, and they've been sold at stores like Walmart,

103
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Tarje Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. If you have a

104
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 2>bag of carrots you bought anytime from August to mid October,

105
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 2>health officials say to check that bag. President Biden authorizes

106
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine to use a Marria ar and made long range

107
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.959
<v Speaker 2>weapons in its war with Russia on Russian soil.

108
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 6>This is something that the United States needed to do

109
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 6>to help Ukraine defend itself.

110
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 7>Former US Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan justified President Biden's

111
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 7>decision and warned that there will likely be a response

112
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 7>from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

113
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 6>He's got to do something, but I believe it will

114
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 6>be a response that the United States and its allies

115
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 6>can manage.

116
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 7>The authorization came after thousands of North Korean troops joined

117
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.079
<v Speaker 7>the Russian side, expected to fight in Ukraine within weeks.
