<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Greetings

00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and salutations on this Thursday morning. It is six o'clock

3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>in Boston and we've got a little bit of snow

4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 1>in the region this morning. It is still windy and

5
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 1>it's still cold, nineteen degrees. The News at six brought

6
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to us by You're a New England Toyota dealer, your

7
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Welcome aboard this morning. I'm

8
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Brown. So what exactly is this bit a snow

9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 1>to start today? Today?

10
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 2>Little in the way of accumulation, but there can be

11
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>slick spots. Otherwise, windy and cold with clowns and a

12
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>couple of florries followed by little afternoon sun complements of

13
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.119
<v Speaker 2>WBZ AKI weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. A wind advisory remains

14
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.759
<v Speaker 2>in effect until early tomorrow morning. Out of control.

15
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Wildfires in southern California have now turned deadly. At least

16
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 1>five people are dead, some one hundred and thirty thousand

17
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>around the run. As the most destructive blaze is in

18
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 1>southern California, leave some of the region's most expensive homes

19
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 1>and some of the nation's most recognizable landmarks. In jeopardy

20
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 1>or in ashes. Multi million dollar mansions owned by the

21
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>likes of actors Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Eugene Levy have

22
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 1>been destroyed. The power is out or has been cut

23
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.799
<v Speaker 1>to about three hundred and fifty thousand customers in the region.

24
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>The latest fire is tearing through the Hollywood Hills. Some

25
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 1>relief is expected today as the Santa Anna wins ease up.

26
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>President Biden, who is postponing his trip to Italy this week,

27
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>approves a major disaster declaration. A Boston City councilor says

28
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 1>safety first here. Following the terror attack in New Orleans.

29
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Counselor Aaron Murphy is calling on her colleagues to look

30
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 3>at every resource possible to prevent an attack similar to

31
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 3>what happened in New Orleans.

32
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.400
<v Speaker 4>Recent incidents, such as the tragedy in New Orleans where

33
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 4>a truck drove into a crowd, underscore the critical need

34
00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:00.159
<v Speaker 4>to explore additional measures to protect large gatherings from potential threats.

35
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Trash trucks and plows are an effective method to deter

36
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 3>and prevent threats like someone using a vehicle as a weapon.

37
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Proactively implementing enhanced safety measures informed by bricks, intelligence and

38
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 4>expertise constraint in the city's preparedness for large scale events

39
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 4>and improve public safety outcomes.

40
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 3>The council passed a hearing order which we'll bring together

41
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 3>all departments who can play a role in public safety.

42
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Facity Hall, James throwhas w b Z, Boston's news radio.

43
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm ruins, what are we going to do with you?

44
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 1>They try to end a five game slide tonight, but

45
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to be easy. The Bees will get

46
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 1>the lightning in Tampa Bay Celtics are off until tomorrow night.

47
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>They're finally back at the garden. The Sacramento Kings will

48
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>come to town, and the college football playoffs resume tonight

49
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 1>in the semi finals. It's Notre Dame and Penn State

50
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>tonight in the Orange Bowl. And if you're about ready

51
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>to give up that New year's resolution in going to

52
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the gym, hang on a second. Being fit as a

53
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>fiddle comes in all shapes and sizes.

54
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 5>New research suggests even those who are considered a beest

55
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 5>or with an elevated body mass index, can live a

56
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 5>healthy and long life as long as you stick to

57
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.919
<v Speaker 5>a workout routine that includes plenty of aerobic exercise. The

58
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 5>devil is in the details inside one of the largest

59
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 5>and most comprehensive studies to look at exercise and longevity.

60
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 5>The study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine finds

61
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 5>that its fitness over fatness for people of any size

62
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 5>and shape. Jay Willette, BBZ Boston's news Radio, it appears

63
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 5>to be another Shiver me Timbers type of morning here

64
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 5>in Boston. The wind is continuing to whip. In fact,

65
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 5>there's a wind advisory that has been posted and remains

66
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 5>in effect until very early tomorrow morning. So once again

67
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 5>we'll expect wind gusts in around the thirty mile per

68
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 5>hour range.

69
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Today. It may not be as strong as yesterday, but

70
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>you'll certainly feel it. And temperatures once again are going

71
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>to get into the mid to upper twenties. But again,

72
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the wheel, the real field temperatures will make it feel

73
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 1>substantially colder than that. And not only that, we do

74
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 1>have plenty of snow flourry activity out and about this morning,

75
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's really not going to amount to much, just

76
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>some nuisance snow, I would say, for much of the

77
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 1>more morning hours today. Otherwise, more clouds than sun throughout

78
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>the day. Today, clearing overnight. Tonight continued windy and cold,

79
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 1>lows in the teens. Tomorrow we get a little bit

80
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 1>of a break. It's going to be the sunniest day

81
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of this stretch, and temperatures eventually we'll get above the

82
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 1>freezing mark and we might even hit forty degrees by

83
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.199
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow afternoon. Another storm system coming at us this weekend

84
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 1>looks like it's going to be a miss, and we

85
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>might see a couple of snowshowers on Saturday with highs

86
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>around freezing, and then back to sunny skies on Sunday

87
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>as well. Right now in Boston, it is just nineteen degrees,

88
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>it's windy. We do have some snowflakes flying this morning.

89
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>It is six oh six on this Thursday morning. It

90
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 1>probably should not come as a surprise to you, but yes,

91
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>it is another cold day in January.

92
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 6>The cold just keeps on keeping on here in Boston.

93
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 6>This man walking the streets right now, How you dealing

94
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 6>with this?

95
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>All?

96
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 6>Crazy?

97
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

98
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 6>Simple as that? Apparently, Yeah, people are. It turns out

99
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 6>they don't really want to talk to me today either.

100
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 6>That is one of the few people who actually gave

101
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 6>me the time of day today in this cold weather.

102
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, it's tough. It gets through everyday tasks. Here

103
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 6>Drew moholland WBZ, Boston's news Radio.

104
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess it also should probably come as no surprise

105
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>that people do not want to talk to Drew, but

106
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 1>that is a story for another day. President Elect Donald

107
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 1>Trump's plan to take back the Panama Canal gain some

108
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>steam on Capitol Hill as the Republicans in the House

109
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.319
<v Speaker 1>get set to tackle a bill that would give the

110
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 1>incoming president the authority to negotiate a buyback. The Panama

111
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Canal Repurchase Act would allow negotiations to begin to acquire

112
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the property for one dollar. In a news conference at

113
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Mara Lago this week, mister Trump did not rule out

114
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>using force to take back the canal. During the Carter administration,

115
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.639
<v Speaker 1>the US sold the rights to the Panama Canal to

116
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Panama for what critics say was that same bargain basement price.

117
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Today is a National Day of Mourning in honor of

118
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>former President Jimmy Carter. A motorcade carrying the body of

119
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>America's thirty ninth president will leave the United States Capitol

120
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Building at nine o'clock this morning, headed to the National

121
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Cathedral for the service. At ten o'clock, President Biden delivers

122
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 1>a eulogy, and back here in Massachusetts, Governor more Heely

123
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>is asking people in this state to observe a moment

124
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.639
<v Speaker 1>of silence at ten. Following the service, Carter and his

125
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.439
<v Speaker 1>family travel back to the family home and planes Georgia

126
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.959
<v Speaker 1>for at private burial service. Bird flu continues to cause

127
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 1>problems from the doctor's office, to the supermarket, and now

128
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to our kitchen tables.

129
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 7>He cracks them on the daily basis is go to.

130
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Dish sausagegg and chief every morning.

131
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 3>At times I put bacon on it.

132
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.279
<v Speaker 7>But that sando was getting more expensive because the eggs

133
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 7>are more difficult to come by and pricier amid a

134
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 7>shortage of supplies brought on by another outbreak of bird flu.

135
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 5>It's definitely gone up quick.

136
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely concerning.

137
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 5>Well.

138
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 7>There's no known treatment for bird flu among flocks. The

139
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 7>USDA does say that egg production should rebound in twenty

140
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.120
<v Speaker 7>twenty five and prices should slowly ease. Chris Foum the
