00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>That alarm is for you, Bunkie.

3
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.640
<v Speaker 2>At is six o'clock on this Tuesday morning, and we've

4
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.120
<v Speaker 2>got him some hazy sunshine as we get started this

5
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>morning right now at sixty nine.

6
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Degrees here in the city.

7
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>The News at six is brought to us by your

8
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.519
<v Speaker 2>new England Toyota Dealer, your Hybrid all wheel Drive headquarters.

9
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for being here today.

10
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm Jeff Brown, and once again smoke gets in our eyes.

11
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 3>The mix of cloud for the easy Sunday not as

12
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:35.920
<v Speaker 3>warm as yesterday with the highest seventy four in Boston.

13
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:36.840
<v Speaker 1>You're eighty Inland.

14
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>That is WBZ after weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Canada's wildfires

15
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>will make another impact here today and again tomorrow. In fact,

16
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.200
<v Speaker 2>right through Thursday. It appears little leaguers in Braintree continue

17
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>to live late summer dreams. They are now one win

18
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>away from a trip to the Little League World Series

19
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 2>with a big victory over Vermont. They'll next play on

20
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Thursday night for that right to go to Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

21
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox Bats are smoking Boston wins at sixth in

22
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>a row. This time over the Royals to remain in

23
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.120
<v Speaker 2>the driver's seat for an American League playoff spot. Another

24
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>strike could be in the works at Fenway Park. Concession workers,

25
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>fed up with a lack of progress in union contract

26
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 2>talks with their bosses at Aramark may walk out again

27
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker 2>as soon as tomorrow, fresh off a three day weekend

28
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>job action. The workers with Unite Here Local twenty six

29
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>want an expedited settlements. Aramark says it respects its workers'

30
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 2>rights and looks forward to continuing to bargain in good faith.

31
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 2>On this date, forty four years ago, it was the

32
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 2>end of the line for more than eleven thousand air

33
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>traffic controllers who ticked off President Ronald Reagan, who ended

34
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>up firing more than eleven thousand of them after they

35
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 2>defined his orders to go back to work on strike

36
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>for just a couple of days looking for better pay

37
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 2>and a shorter work week. President Reagan delivers on a

38
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 2>threat the second they walked out the door, bringing the

39
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>nation's airports to a screeching halt. The move, called extreme

40
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 2>by many, slowed air traffic control for months. The decision

41
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>also imposed a lifetime ban on the air traffic controller's

42
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 2>re employment with the FAAA, what's in our kitchen is

43
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 2>keeping us? Most of us up at night. New research

44
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 2>today finds a majority of Americans say the price of

45
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>groceries is a major source of stress for families. The

46
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 2>latest Associated Press poll finds more than half of American

47
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>voters feel the pinch either big time or at least

48
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>is a minor concern. Fourteen percent say what stress. The

49
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>latest survey also reveals housing costs and a lack of

50
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 2>money and bank accounts also big pressure points, most frequently

51
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 2>experienced by younger Americans. Much of the stress is traced

52
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>to fears over an uncertain economy and President Trump's trade

53
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>and tariff policies. New research shows too much of a

54
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>bad thing is certainly not good for our love handles,

55
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>and the obese lose twice as much weights. Wbz's Drew

56
00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 2>m'holland has more on that adding too.

57
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 4>Many ultra processed foods gets in the way of a

58
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 4>healthy lifestyle. The study in this week's medical journal Nature

59
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 4>Medicine finds cutting highly processed foods out, even if those

60
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 4>foods are considered healthy, speeds up metabolism and helps us

61
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 4>lose more weight at twice the rate Health Secretary RFK

62
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 4>Junior has long maintained that these foods are poisoning Americans.

63
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 4>There have been many observational studies that find ultra processed

64
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 4>foods have long been linked to a rising obesity epidemic

65
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 4>in this country. Drumahaal and WBZ Boston's news idea.

66
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Hazy skies in Boston once again this morning, and an

67
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>air quality alert has not been posted, however, that the

68
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Canadian wildfire smoke may reduce our air quality at times,

69
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>not only today but right through Thursday. As a matter

70
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 2>of fact, at sixty nine degrees in the haze this

71
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>morning here in Boston, we are going to see hazy

72
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>sunshine and a little bit cooler today than yesterday, with

73
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 2>high speaking in the mid to upper seventies. Pretty Much

74
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the same story coming up tomorrow and then on Thursday

75
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>as well. Once we turn the page on Friday, the

76
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>air seemingly clears, we'll see plenty of sunshine, warmer temperatures,

77
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>highs in the low to mid eighties, and we could

78
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 2>flirt with ninety degrees coming up of the long range

79
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 2>forecast this weekend. No rain in the immediate future though

80
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>right now in Boston sixty nine degrees and hazy skies

81
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 2>here in the city at six oh five this Tuesday morning.

82
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Red tape and regulations. What's putting a line in the

<v Speaker 5>This time from Air Wellness, who's laying off more than

85
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 5>one hundred and fifty employees at their cultivation center in Milford,

86
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 5>and eventually they will be closing. Air is based down

87
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 5>of Florida, and they have cannabis locations across several states

88
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 5>where it's been legalized. Massachusetts has been a focused state

89
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 5>for AIR as they operate facilities elsewhere in Boston, Needham, Summerville,

90
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.240
<v Speaker 5>and Watertown. The layoffs in Milford are part of their

91
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 5>restructuring strategy where they're selling off assets across a number

92
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 5>of states and downsizing. Jim McKay WBZ, Boston's news radio

<v Speaker 5>carjacking that involved a stolen trash truck last week pleads

95
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 5>not guilty to charges. Thirty three year old Admilson Viskno

96
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 5>is accused of leading police on a wild, multi city

97
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 5>chase after prosecutors say he ripped off the Republic Services

98
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 5>trash truck at a gas station in Medford, then later

99
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.920
<v Speaker 5>crashed it not far from the Encore Casino in Everett.

<v Speaker 5>Taken to the hospital in critical condition, Viscaino is well

101
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.560

<v Speaker 5>A dangerousness hearing is scheduled next in court for next week.

<v Speaker 5>Disgraced former Massachusetts State Police trooper Michael Proctor wants his

104
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 5>job back. An appeals hearing is scheduled for a month

105
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 5>for Monday for Proctor, who lost his job months after

106
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 5>being forced to read crude text messages from the witness

107
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 5>stand during the Karen Reid trial. To see those messages

108
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.360
<v Speaker 5>he sent to colleagues and friends during his role as

109
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 5>lead investigator, Proctor was placed on leave, then an internal

110
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 5>investigation led to his termination. His lawyer says Proctor's firing

111
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.720
<v Speaker 5>lacks just cause he's been treated unfairly compared to his colleagues.

112
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.720
<v Speaker 5>Another hearing is sent for later this month. Another pharmacy
