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

2
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:13.560
<v Speaker 2>News, sunny in eighty three degrees in Boston at eleven

3
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 2>o'clock good Wednesday morning, is July sixteenth. I'm Cherry Small.

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's get you caught up. Here's what's happening. The Blue

5
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Line up and running once again, after yesterday's commute ended

6
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 2>with hundreds of passengers being evacuated. Our wbz's James Rojas

7
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 2>is at Boston Harbor with more.

8
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy that I didn't get stuck on the train.

9
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Joe may not have gotten stuck on the train that

10
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>stopped midway between Aquarium and Maverick stations, but he was

11
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>among the many affected. Afterwards, I had to take a

12
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Silver Line, so I'll probably added maybe like about an

13
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 1>hour to my way.

14
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 3>Home, a huge hour and a half delay for someone

15
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.200
<v Speaker 3>who just didn't expect. So it was like two hours

16
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 3>compared to like forty minutes, so it was a pretty

17
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 3>long commute.

18
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Who had a worse were the folks who were on

19
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the stall train and they had to walk through the

20
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>tunnel to get out thanks to a down communications cave.

21
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.719
<v Speaker 3>And I see just this massive crowd of like five

22
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 3>six other people.

23
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Service has been restored and folks are hoping for a

24
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 1>less eventful commute at aquarium station. James Rojas wb Z

26
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 2>The City of Pebty calling on billionaire Bill Gates to

27
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 2>take action in the ongoing sanitation workers strike. Gates is

28
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:24.159
<v Speaker 2>a principal owner of Cascade Investment, which is a major

29
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 2>shareholder in Republic services. The city council says it wants

30
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Gates to use his influence and urge Republic to return

31
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>to the negotiating table and address the striking workers demands.

32
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Republic has brought in trash collectors from out of state,

33
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.920
<v Speaker 2>but meanwhile some trash continues to pile up beneath the

34
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>hot summer sun. The city says the situation poses a

35
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>serious public health risk. The union says a federal mediator

36
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 2>told them that Republic would not agree to any further

37
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>negotiation sessions. WBC News Radio has reached out to Republic

38
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>and Cascade Investment for comment. House Speaker Mike Johnson joins

39
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 2>the growing chorus of voices supporting the release of more

40
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>information about Jeffrey Epstein. President Trump had promised during his

41
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 2>campaign to be more transparent about the investigation into the

42
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 2>notorious sex offender, but recently his administration declared it would

43
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 2>not release any more information on the case. ABC's Jonathan

44
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Carl with the latest.

45
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 4>Trump, like many other New York celebrities, had some association

46
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.319
<v Speaker 4>with Epstein. When Epstein was arrested in twenty nineteen, Trump

47
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 4>said that he had previously had a falling out with

48
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 4>him and had not spoken to him in fifteen years.

49
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 4>The President told ABC's Catherine Falters that Bondi had briefed

50
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 4>him on the Justice Department's review of the Epstein files.

51
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 5>Did she tell you what all.

52
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>That your name appeared in the god.

53
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 6>She's given us just a very quick briefing, and in

54
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 6>terms of the credibility of the different things that they've seen.

55
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 4>Some Trump supporters are now calling for the Attorney General's resignation, and.

56
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Speaker Johnson commented on the situation while speaking with right

62
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.319

63
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 2>sticky night. Thursday, a mix of sun and clouds, a

83
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 8>By the end of the year, we will have renovated

84
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.439
<v Speaker 8>more than half of all the city pools, and we

85
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.759
