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

00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:05.879
<v Speaker 2>We're defining local.

3
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>News thirty nine degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

4
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. Well, wasn't that fun?

5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Snow more than half a foot in some places in

6
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.719
<v Speaker 1>central and western Massachusetts. Now we get the cold and

7
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the wind.

8
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 3>The Colt Run is going to be developing and moving

9
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 3>into the region within the next twelve to twenty four hours,

10
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 3>and plenty of cold and wind will also be moving

11
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.920
<v Speaker 3>in as well. And obviously I've been talking about the

12
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 3>Great Lakes. They're still fairly warm, so some of the

13
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 3>flakes that's gonna be coming off of the Great Lakes

14
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 3>may try to move into western areas of the Commonwealth.

15
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>That is CBS News Boston meteorologist Jason Michael. We do

16
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.679
<v Speaker 1>have a wind advisory in effect, and we could have

17
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 1>some wind gusts in the central part of the state,

18
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>especially up to forty forty five miles an hour. We'll

19
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 1>break it all down for you with the forecast coming

20
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>up in just a couple of minutes. No arrests, but

21
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.039
<v Speaker 1>more is being learned about the shooting at of the

22
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>United Healthcare CEO in New York City yesterday morning.

23
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 4>A law enforcement official says a masked gunman who stalked

24
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 4>and killed the leader of one of the largest US

25
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 4>health insurance companies on a Manhattan sidewalk used ammunitions that

26
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 4>had the words denied, defend, and depose emblazoned on them.

27
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 4>The official was not authorized to publicly discuss the details

28
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 4>of the ongoing investigation and spoke to the Associated Press

29
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 4>on the condition of anonymity. The words on the ammunition

30
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 4>may have been in reference to strategies insurance companies use

31
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 4>to try to avoid paying claims. United Healthcare CEO Brian

32
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 4>Thompson died in a dawn ambush as he walked to

33
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.280

41
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Let me be clear, there will.

42
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 5>Be accountability and that accountability is occurring.

43
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.439

44
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.759

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.719

65
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>going to be chili, certainly going to feel chilli. Temperatures

66
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 1>are going to fall back into the twenties as we

67
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>go through the evening with mostly clear skies developing. It's

68
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the wind gusting to forty forty five miles an hour,

69
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.639
<v Speaker 1>especially across parts of central Massachusetts, and that is going

70
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 1>to make our temperatures plunge, at least in the fields

71
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 1>like Department Actually whether the real field temperatures by dawn

72
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow in some spots could be into the single digits. Tomorrow,

73
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>we don't warm up much. It's low thirties for a high,

74
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>with some sunshine around, and the wind again with gus

75
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 1>forty to forty five miles an hour, it'll feel like

76
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>it's in the teens Tomorrow night partially clouding, temperatures in

77
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 1>the mid twenties, and then on Saturday, not as harsh,

78
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.759
<v Speaker 1>the wind dies back a bit thirty eighth for the

79
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 1>high with some sunshine around and then Sunday, some clouds

80
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 1>will have a snow shower or a rain shower, especially

81
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>early in the day. That could make for some slippery

82
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>early travel. Otherwise we get into the forties as the

83
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>day progresses. Send a warm up as we get into

84
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>next week too, thirty nine degrees right now in Boston.

85
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 1>A viral prank on Route one in Saugus has the

86
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 1>town talking about true crime, but their facts were a

87
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 1>bit out of line, as we hear from w bz's

88
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 1>Matt Shearer.

89
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 5>Since June, North Shore folks have been wondering who got

90
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 5>the protest sign on the abandoned Carla's Shoes building.

91
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, I think you have to get in

92
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of trouble to like have a little

93
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:46.759
<v Speaker 1>bit of fun.

94
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 5>That guy did Jason Rogers, along with fellow artist Matt Nutter,

95
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 5>but their little joke has been met with both laughs

96
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 5>and tears. The latter is because of a widespread mix

97
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 5>up with the building's backstory. Many Sagas residents believe that

98
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 5>Carla's Shoes was owned by Valerie Forenza, who has found

99
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.319
<v Speaker 5>editor abusive boyfriend's home in nineteen ninety three. However, I

100
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 5>know that's not true because Hello, I called her mom,

101
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Linda Fiorenza. She told me that Valerie owned a consignment

102
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 5>shop in Reading, not Saugus. The real owner of the

103
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 5>Carlist Shoes building is listed as Isabelle Smith, who is

104
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.720
<v Speaker 5>not available for comment until she is It looks like

105
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 5>the Prota sign is here to stay.

106
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 4>So hopefully someone's sitting over there and drinking their coffee

107
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 4>on their way to work and they look over and

108
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 4>just smile.

112
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 1>A federal judge in Texas tossing a plea deal between

113
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 1>the airline and the Department of Justice in a case

114
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>over the deadly crashes of two Boeing seven thirty seven Maxes.

115
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Judge Rit O'Connor is rejecting Boeing's deal with federal prosecutors

116
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 2>to plead guilty to conspiracy to defraud the government and

117
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 2>pay a two hundred and forty three million dollars fine

118
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 2>because a plea agreement requires the parties to consider race

119
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Speaker 2>when hiring an independent monitor to watch over Boeing and

120
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 2>He found the deal marginalizes the courts role in selecting

121
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 2>and watching that monitor. The judge world those provisions are

122
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 2>inappropriate and against the public interest. The government's diversity, Equality

123
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.199
<v Speaker 2>and Inclusion program was a deciding factor in the judges ruling.
