Speaker 1: This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Good
Speaker 1: morning Friday, finally here in Boston, and we're getting started
Speaker 1: under clear skies forty seven. Pretty chilly out the door
Speaker 1: this morning. The News at six is brought to us
Speaker 1: by your new England Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel
Speaker 1: drive headquarters. Welcome aboard this morning. I'm Jeff Brown. As
Speaker 1: fall throws us a change up. Much cooler weather is
Speaker 1: on the way as we head into the weekend. It'll
Speaker 1: stay to rye as well. That is WBZ ACU weather
Speaker 1: meteorologist Teather's aire. It is going to stay sunny too
Speaker 1: high temperature around sixty today. So how we doing? The
Speaker 1: United Nations says not great. People. It has been one
Speaker 1: year since global leaders agreed on a revised and pretty
Speaker 1: aggressive plan to cut fossil fuels and move towards a
Speaker 1: greener future, but the agency says little to nothing has
Speaker 1: been done by more than one hundred and fifty countries
Speaker 1: to reach set out originally in the Paris Climate Accord.
Speaker 1: Those same leaders are about to get together next month
Speaker 1: at Azerbaijan. Experts say last year's deal is not worth
Speaker 1: the paper it's printed. On They say, if the world
Speaker 1: sticks to the script, it's still possible to cut global
Speaker 1: greenhouse gas emissions by more than ten percent by the
Speaker 1: end of the decade, but it's really no longer feasible.
Speaker 1: Any questions sat them again going.
Speaker 2: To warcous, Welcome to the League.
Speaker 3: Rush.
Speaker 1: The call on NBC Sports Boston is the Celtics clobber
Speaker 1: the Wizards on the road. They win by twenty and
Speaker 1: what's up with the Bruins a three game losing streak
Speaker 1: now with a home loss to Dallas. Thursday Night football
Speaker 1: in the NFL, the Rams stunned the Vikings. And college
Speaker 1: football tonight at the Heights as Boston College hosts Louisville
Speaker 1: under the lights on the campaign trails. This is not
Speaker 1: sixteen or twenty twenty. The stakes are even higher. Star
Speaker 1: power comes out for Kamala Harris, Bruce Springsteen last night
Speaker 1: in Georgia, Beyonce tonight in Houston. Meantime, Donald Trump goes
Speaker 1: on the attack in Vegas. Be broken, and I promise
Speaker 1: you I will fix it, and we'll fix it. Trump
Speaker 1: says China's leader would bully Harris like a baby if
Speaker 1: she becomes president. Trump is headed to Michigan and Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: this weekend. Well, the winner of this year's presidential election,
Speaker 1: now eleven days away, is really anyone's gas. Recent nationwide
Speaker 1: surveys paint a conflicting picture. A poll from you gov
Speaker 1: finds Kamala Harris with a slight relead, and the most
Speaker 1: up to date info from the Wall Street Journal indicates
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has a narrow advantage now in the mix.
Speaker 1: A new survey from Harvard finds a gender gap among
Speaker 1: the nation's young voters has more than doubled since the spring.
Speaker 1: It now shows young men pick Harris over Trump by
Speaker 1: ten points and young women give Harris a thirty point lead.
Speaker 1: And voters in Massachusetts have taken advantage of early voting.
Speaker 1: Wbz's Drew moholland joins us for details. Good morning Andrew,
Speaker 1: Good morning Jeffrey.
Speaker 3: More than nine voters in Massachusetts have already cast ballots.
Speaker 3: Mail in voting will continue until election day, and early
Speaker 3: in person voting continues this weekend. If you're eligible to
Speaker 3: vote but have not yet registered, Tomorrow is the registration deadline.
Speaker 3: I repeat, Tomorrow is the registration deadline. You can register
Speaker 3: in person at a local election office by five pm.
Speaker 3: Or online until midnight same day registration. It was much
Speaker 3: talked about on Beacon Hill, but never gain traction before
Speaker 3: the end of the lawmakers two year session this summer, so.
Speaker 1: That's the deal. So October kind of takes on a
Speaker 1: new hue as we head into the weekend. Still going
Speaker 1: to be nice and sunny today, Tomorrow and Sunday, but
Speaker 1: it's going to feel like fall as temperatures will struggle
Speaker 1: to get out of the fifties today, maybe low sixties,
Speaker 1: still a beautiful day this time of year. Overnight tonight
Speaker 1: partly cloudy, lows in the thirties and forties in most areas,
Speaker 1: breezy Tomorrow, Hi's a slightly warmer mid sixties for high temperature,
Speaker 1: so that's really not bad for this time of year,
Speaker 1: but we don't get out of the fifties on Sunday
Speaker 1: under sunny skies. Now, unshine is going to continue for
Speaker 1: several days to come, and in fact, if we look
Speaker 1: into the future, the long range forecast indicates temperatures are
Speaker 1: back in the seventies and maybe near eighty, which could
Speaker 1: be near record territory on Halloween, which is coming up
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Right now in Boston, clear skies in forty seven.
Speaker 1: On this Friday morning, it is six oh five, and
Speaker 1: while we're talking about all this sunshine, we need to
Speaker 1: mention the emerging drought in Massachusetts. It's digging in its heels.
Speaker 2: It's just a few days to spare. Greater Boston is
Speaker 2: heading toward one of the driest months of October yet
Speaker 2: what has become an exceedingly dry fall season. The US
Speaker 2: Drought Monitor says more than one third of the state
Speaker 2: is now considered in a moderate drought. That's twice as
Speaker 2: much area as just a week ago. Bbztv's weather office
Speaker 2: is the lack of rain now might mean less snow
Speaker 2: this winter. Research shows that in previous years when Autumn
Speaker 2: lacked rain, there were fewer snowflakes in every associated winter.
Speaker 2: November awaits though, and a sudden switch to heavy rain
Speaker 2: would potentially flip that script. Jay Willette, WBZ Boston's NewsRadio lawyers.
Speaker 1: For Karen Reid formally filed documents with the State Supreme
Speaker 1: Court asking the justices to sideline her upcoming murder retrial
Speaker 1: and the death of former Boston copp John O'Keefe. The
Speaker 1: Norfolk Superior Court Judge Beverly Canoni. They blame her for
Speaker 1: not properly vetting the jury on its partial verdict before
Speaker 1: declaring a mistrial this summer. Attorneys for Red argue that
Speaker 1: since an informal poll of jurors indicates they were unanimous
Speaker 1: in agreement on acquittal of two of the three charges
Speaker 1: against her, a retrial on all of the charges amounts
Speaker 1: to double jeopardy. Nonetheless, Read's second trial is currently sent
Speaker 1: for January. Freedom could be next for Lyle and Eric Menendez.
Speaker 1: The La County DA will be in court this morning
Speaker 1: to officially request a re sentencing for the brothers, who
Speaker 1: are currently doing life for the killing of their parents
Speaker 1: decades ago. The sensational case got new life with a
Speaker 1: recent Netflix drama and documentary about the murders. New evidence
Speaker 1: has recently emerged, giving credence to the brothers claims the
Speaker 1: killings were in self defense following years of sexual abuse
Speaker 1: by their parents. The judge will decide if a new
Speaker 1: sentence is warranted, but a parole board will ultimately decide
Speaker 1: if the brothers are set free. Teenagers, tell Hollywood enough
Speaker 1: with the sex already. The latest study of teens and
Speaker 1: screens from researchers at UCLA finds the young crowd prefers
Speaker 1: to see TV shows and movies that focus on platonic relationship. Tweens, teens,
Speaker 1: and young adults say plot and ease of access moves
Speaker 1: the needle for them in seeking out entertainments, and the
Speaker 1: big easy is normally ready for anything, but maybe not
Speaker 1: ready for it.
Speaker 4: Sailor Swift opens a three night stand at the New
Speaker 4: Orleans Superdome tonight. They've hung a giant inflatable friendship Praicelet
Speaker 4: to welcomer. The beads are white, the lettering that spells
Speaker 4: out her name black. The ends in the middle are
Speaker 4: strung with blow up beads in bright gemstone tones. Swift
Speaker 4: has three additional stops planned before her record breaking eras
Speaker 4: to her winds down Indianapolis, Toronto, and Vancouver. Deborah Rodriguez
