00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Good

2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>morning Friday, finally here in Boston, and we're getting started

3
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>under clear skies forty seven. Pretty chilly out the door

4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>this morning. The News at six is brought to us

5
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>by your new England Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel

6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 1>drive headquarters. Welcome aboard this morning. I'm Jeff Brown. As

7
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 1>fall throws us a change up. Much cooler weather is

8
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>on the way as we head into the weekend. It'll

9
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>stay to rye as well. That is WBZ ACU weather

10
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 1>meteorologist Teather's aire. It is going to stay sunny too

11
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 1>high temperature around sixty today. So how we doing? The

12
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>United Nations says not great. People. It has been one

13
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 1>year since global leaders agreed on a revised and pretty

14
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 1>aggressive plan to cut fossil fuels and move towards a

15
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 1>greener future, but the agency says little to nothing has

16
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>been done by more than one hundred and fifty countries

17
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>to reach set out originally in the Paris Climate Accord.

18
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Those same leaders are about to get together next month

19
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>at Azerbaijan. Experts say last year's deal is not worth

20
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 1>the paper it's printed. On They say, if the world

21
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>sticks to the script, it's still possible to cut global

22
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 1>greenhouse gas emissions by more than ten percent by the

23
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 1>end of the decade, but it's really no longer feasible.

24
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Any questions sat them again going.

25
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 2>To warcous, Welcome to the League.

26
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 3>Rush.

27
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>The call on NBC Sports Boston is the Celtics clobber

28
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the Wizards on the road. They win by twenty and

29
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 1>what's up with the Bruins a three game losing streak

30
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>now with a home loss to Dallas. Thursday Night football

31
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL, the Rams stunned the Vikings. And college

32
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 1>football tonight at the Heights as Boston College hosts Louisville

33
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>under the lights on the campaign trails. This is not

34
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.079
<v Speaker 1>sixteen or twenty twenty. The stakes are even higher. Star

35
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 1>power comes out for Kamala Harris, Bruce Springsteen last night

36
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>in Georgia, Beyonce tonight in Houston. Meantime, Donald Trump goes

37
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 1>on the attack in Vegas. Be broken, and I promise

38
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you I will fix it, and we'll fix it. Trump

39
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 1>says China's leader would bully Harris like a baby if

40
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>she becomes president. Trump is headed to Michigan and Pennsylvania

41
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>this weekend. Well, the winner of this year's presidential election,

42
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 1>now eleven days away, is really anyone's gas. Recent nationwide

43
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 1>surveys paint a conflicting picture. A poll from you gov

44
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>finds Kamala Harris with a slight relead, and the most

45
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 1>up to date info from the Wall Street Journal indicates

46
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump has a narrow advantage now in the mix.

47
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 1>A new survey from Harvard finds a gender gap among

48
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the nation's young voters has more than doubled since the spring.

49
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 1>It now shows young men pick Harris over Trump by

50
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>ten points and young women give Harris a thirty point lead.

51
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>And voters in Massachusetts have taken advantage of early voting.

52
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Wbz's Drew moholland joins us for details. Good morning Andrew,

53
00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Good morning Jeffrey.

54
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 3>More than nine voters in Massachusetts have already cast ballots.

55
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 3>Mail in voting will continue until election day, and early

56
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 3>in person voting continues this weekend. If you're eligible to

57
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 3>vote but have not yet registered, Tomorrow is the registration deadline.

58
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 3>I repeat, Tomorrow is the registration deadline. You can register

59
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 3>in person at a local election office by five pm.

60
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Or online until midnight same day registration. It was much

61
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 3>talked about on Beacon Hill, but never gain traction before

62
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.319
<v Speaker 3>the end of the lawmakers two year session this summer, so.

63
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>That's the deal. So October kind of takes on a

64
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>new hue as we head into the weekend. Still going

65
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to be nice and sunny today, Tomorrow and Sunday, but

66
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 1>it's going to feel like fall as temperatures will struggle

67
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to get out of the fifties today, maybe low sixties,

68
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>still a beautiful day this time of year. Overnight tonight

69
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>partly cloudy, lows in the thirties and forties in most areas,

70
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>breezy Tomorrow, Hi's a slightly warmer mid sixties for high temperature,

71
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>so that's really not bad for this time of year,

72
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>but we don't get out of the fifties on Sunday

73
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>under sunny skies. Now, unshine is going to continue for

74
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>several days to come, and in fact, if we look

75
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>into the future, the long range forecast indicates temperatures are

76
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 1>back in the seventies and maybe near eighty, which could

77
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>be near record territory on Halloween, which is coming up

78
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday. Right now in Boston, clear skies in forty seven.

79
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>On this Friday morning, it is six oh five, and

80
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 1>while we're talking about all this sunshine, we need to

81
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 1>mention the emerging drought in Massachusetts. It's digging in its heels.

82
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 2>It's just a few days to spare. Greater Boston is

83
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 2>heading toward one of the driest months of October yet

84
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 2>what has become an exceedingly dry fall season. The US

85
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Drought Monitor says more than one third of the state

86
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 2>is now considered in a moderate drought. That's twice as

87
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 2>much area as just a week ago. Bbztv's weather office

88
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>is the lack of rain now might mean less snow

89
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>this winter. Research shows that in previous years when Autumn

90
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 2>lacked rain, there were fewer snowflakes in every associated winter.

91
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 2>November awaits though, and a sudden switch to heavy rain

92
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>would potentially flip that script. Jay Willette, WBZ Boston's NewsRadio lawyers.

93
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 1>For Karen Reid formally filed documents with the State Supreme

94
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Court asking the justices to sideline her upcoming murder retrial

95
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>and the death of former Boston copp John O'Keefe. The

96
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Norfolk Superior Court Judge Beverly Canoni. They blame her for

97
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 1>not properly vetting the jury on its partial verdict before

98
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.879
<v Speaker 1>declaring a mistrial this summer. Attorneys for Red argue that

99
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>since an informal poll of jurors indicates they were unanimous

100
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>in agreement on acquittal of two of the three charges

101
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>against her, a retrial on all of the charges amounts

102
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>to double jeopardy. Nonetheless, Read's second trial is currently sent

103
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>for January. Freedom could be next for Lyle and Eric Menendez.

104
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.959
<v Speaker 1>The La County DA will be in court this morning

105
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>to officially request a re sentencing for the brothers, who

106
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 1>are currently doing life for the killing of their parents

107
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>decades ago. The sensational case got new life with a

108
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 1>recent Netflix drama and documentary about the murders. New evidence

109
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 1>has recently emerged, giving credence to the brothers claims the

110
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>killings were in self defense following years of sexual abuse

111
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>by their parents. The judge will decide if a new

112
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 1>sentence is warranted, but a parole board will ultimately decide

113
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 1>if the brothers are set free. Teenagers, tell Hollywood enough

114
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.879
<v Speaker 1>with the sex already. The latest study of teens and

115
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:26.319
<v Speaker 1>screens from researchers at UCLA finds the young crowd prefers

116
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>to see TV shows and movies that focus on platonic relationship. Tweens, teens,

117
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 1>and young adults say plot and ease of access moves

118
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the needle for them in seeking out entertainments, and the

119
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 1>big easy is normally ready for anything, but maybe not

120
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 1>ready for it.

123
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.319

00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 4>out her name black. The ends in the middle are

125
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 4>strung with blow up beads in bright gemstone tones. Swift
