00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news.

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:12.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, I don't mean to be inappropriate at six

3
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 1>o'clock in the morning, but how is it only Thursday? Huh?

4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Answer me that clear skies and thirty four degrees as

5
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 1>we get started together. The News at six is brought

6
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to us by your new England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid

7
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>all wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for being here today. I'm

8
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Brown. Looking good though.

9
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Boston mostly sunny today.

10
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 3>It'll be a breezy day with a high at forty eight.

11
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>That is WBZ act you weather meteorologist. Tether's are a

12
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>slippery slope though coming up this weekend. The sun, though

13
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.359
<v Speaker 1>always shines, doesn't it on Red Sox opening Day even

14
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.679
<v Speaker 1>if the team is on the road. Wbz's Drew mo'holland finally,

15
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>good morning, You're ready to go. I'm ready open. It's day.

16
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Here we go. First pitch, Red Sox and Rangers today,

17
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 3>four five. First pitch, Garrett Crochet gets the ball of

18
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 3>the Sox new pickup. Excited about that first old friend

19
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 3>n Then Avaldi interesting, right, it's gonna be a battle,

20
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.040
<v Speaker 3>all right. So Vegas has the Red Sox win total

21
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 3>at eighty six and a half.

22
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a little low, a little low. I

23
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:09.239
<v Speaker 1>think it's a little low.

24
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 3>This it's interesting you say that because the odds of

25
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 3>the Red Sox making the playoffs you're at like minus

26
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 3>one fifty. So that pretty much means that. What that

27
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 3>means if you're gonna bet, if you're gonna win one

28
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 3>hundred dollars, Yeah, you bet one hundred and fifty. So

29
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.319
<v Speaker 3>people think Vegas thinks they're gonna get it, They're gonna

30
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 3>make the playoffs.

31
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Is this a playoff team? I think it might be

32
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>all right. I mean, it's been a long time since

33
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>we've been able to say that. First taste four h

34
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.719
<v Speaker 1>five today, probably a good idea with the weather that

35
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the Red Sox will not be at Fenway Park for

36
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>another week or so.

37
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 3>That's always a good idea. It is a good play.

38
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 1>A seven wins in a row for the Celtics, who

39
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>clobber the Suns and Phoenix, seven game losing streak for

40
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the Bruins, destroyed by the Ducks and Anaheim and March

41
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>madness resumes today. The Men's Sweet sixteen kicks off tonight.

42
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 1>It's a witch hunt says President Trump. The White House

43
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>continues to do damage control in the fallout of an

44
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 1>online chat group which erroneously included a national journalist, and

45
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>reveal war plans for a bombing run against toothy rebels

46
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>and Yemen. In a Q and A with reporters, the

47
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 1>President focuses on the results of what he calls a

48
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 1>very successful military mission and glosses over the leak of

49
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>what many experts believe is classified information on the public

50
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and free signal messaging app. The losses pile up for

51
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the White House. A federal of Heels court denies the

52
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 1>President's bid from using a wartime law to resume deportation

53
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 1>of alleged Venezuelan gang members. The decision stemies the Justice

54
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Department's attempts to continue the operation while it fights the lawsuit.

55
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Hundreds have been sent to an l Salvador lockup in

56
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 1>defiance of a federal court order. The lawsuit claims the

57
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Alien Act of seventeen ninety eight is not applicable here,

58
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>but the deportees were also robbed of due process. Boston

59
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>is notorious for its bad traffic, not to mention bad drivers,

60
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 1>but here's something I bet you probably didn't.

61
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 4>Know Boston placed first for the safest driving cities in

62
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 4>the country.

63
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>That's absurd.

64
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.599
<v Speaker 4>Why is that Boston is extremely difficult to drive? US

65
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 4>News and World Report focused in on cities with the

66
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 4>biggest populations and took a look at fatal crash data.

67
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 4>Who had the most UY arrests and vehicle thefts.

68
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I definitely doesn't agree.

69
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 3>I guess on fifty to fifty, I guess it kind

70
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 3>of made sense Oka common Sy though.

71
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 4>The study finds that Massachusetts had the lowest average number

72
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 4>of DUY arrests out of all the cities in the analysis,

73
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 4>combined with access to public transportation, leading to its high rank.

74
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 4>It I feel like we're known for being bad drivers

75
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 4>around here, so I would have expected worse. The least

76
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 4>safe cities are Memphis, Albuquerque, Tucson, Arizona, and Detroit. I'm

77

<v Speaker 4>a Friedman w BZ, Boston's news Radio.

78
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 1>A nice day in Boston today. Mainly sunny, a bit breezy,

79
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 1>high temperatures right around fifty. But at this time of

80
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 1>the year, when the sun's angle is where it is,

81
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 1>it feels a little bit warmer if you're right in

82
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the sunshine, so it's overall one of

83
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>the better days we're going to see over the next

84
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>several As clouds start to move in overnight tonight, maybe

85
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>an isolated shower or two, lows back in the thirties.

86
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow we might start with some sunshine, but clouds are

87
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 1>on the increase, and it's going to be my with

88
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 1>highs in the middle fifties, so a little bit above

89
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>average tomorrow. But as we turn the page on the weekend,

90
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.039
<v Speaker 1>it is a very slippery slope. It does not look

91
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 1>like it's going to be an award winning weekend at all.

92
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 1>In facts, it's going to be chilly, with highs only

93
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>in the forties, some showers possible both days, and there

94
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>might be some snowflakes involved as well. Right now in Boston,

95
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>clear skies thirty four coming up on sunrise at six

96
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 1>oh six on this Thursday morning, Atlantic hurricane season is

97
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>about to whip itself into a frenzy.

98
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 5>We are still a little more than two months away,

99
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 5>but forecasters say this year will look a lot like

100
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 5>last year. Last year's hurricane season was one of the

101
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 5>most devastating and most costly ever. Experts use less than

102
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 5>technical jargon like supercharge to describe it. This year, our

103
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 5>partners at ACI Weathers say they expect up to eighteen

104
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 5>named storms as many as ten hurricanes, up to five

105
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 5>of which could be major. Hurricane season begins on June first.

00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the second. Victoria George is now on board, and this

111
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>is perfectly legal. George is a practicing civil attorney in

112
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Massachusetts and has limited to no experience in criminal matters. Still,

113
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 1>experts say there are many ways she can add insight

114
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>into Reed's defense. Many also say they've never heard of

115
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.199
<v Speaker 1>these kinds of circumstances. Reads retrial in the killing of

116
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.800

117
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to run circles around health experts in America. The CDC

118
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 1>says the virus has spread now to Kansas, where about

119
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.399
<v Speaker 1>two dozen cases have been confirmed. They are believed to

120
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 1>be connected to the outbreak in West Texas, which has

121
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>hit about three hundred and fifty patients there. A recent

122
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>passenger who hopped on an Amtrak train from Boston to

123
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.720

124
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Amtrak is doing some contact tracing with any passengers that

125
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>may have come close to the patient. Also, a new

126
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 1>study finds the virus and measles vaccination rates for young

127
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.399

130
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.199
<v Speaker 2>through the water have been missing one thing, the sounds

131
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>they actually make. A new study in the journal Royal

132
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Society Open Science reveals the first documented case of sharks

133
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 2>making noise. Researchers who approach small rig sharks off New

134
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Zealand heard clicking noises produced when the fish forcefully snap

135
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 2>their spiky flat teeth. Until now, sharks were believed to

136
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.079
<v Speaker 2>be silent because they don't have swim bladders, which contain

137
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.759
<v Speaker 2>gas and produce sound. Deborah Rodriguez CBS News.
