Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't mean to be inappropriate at six
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, but how is it only Thursday? Huh?
Speaker 1: Answer me that clear skies and thirty four degrees as
Speaker 1: we get started together. The News at six is brought
Speaker 1: to us by your new England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid
Speaker 1: all wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for being here today. I'm
Speaker 1: Jeff Brown. Looking good though.
Speaker 2: Boston mostly sunny today.
Speaker 3: It'll be a breezy day with a high at forty eight.
Speaker 1: That is WBZ act you weather meteorologist. Tether's are a
Speaker 1: slippery slope though coming up this weekend. The sun, though
Speaker 1: always shines, doesn't it on Red Sox opening Day even
Speaker 1: if the team is on the road. Wbz's Drew mo'holland finally,
Speaker 1: good morning, You're ready to go. I'm ready open. It's day.
Speaker 3: Here we go. First pitch, Red Sox and Rangers today,
Speaker 3: four five. First pitch, Garrett Crochet gets the ball of
Speaker 3: the Sox new pickup. Excited about that first old friend
Speaker 3: n Then Avaldi interesting, right, it's gonna be a battle,
Speaker 3: all right. So Vegas has the Red Sox win total
Speaker 3: at eighty six and a half.
Speaker 1: I think that's a little low, a little low. I
Speaker 1: think it's a little low.
Speaker 3: This it's interesting you say that because the odds of
Speaker 3: the Red Sox making the playoffs you're at like minus
Speaker 3: one fifty. So that pretty much means that. What that
Speaker 3: means if you're gonna bet, if you're gonna win one
Speaker 3: hundred dollars, Yeah, you bet one hundred and fifty. So
Speaker 3: people think Vegas thinks they're gonna get it, They're gonna
Speaker 3: make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Is this a playoff team? I think it might be
Speaker 1: all right. I mean, it's been a long time since
Speaker 1: we've been able to say that. First taste four h
Speaker 1: five today, probably a good idea with the weather that
Speaker 1: the Red Sox will not be at Fenway Park for
Speaker 1: another week or so.
Speaker 3: That's always a good idea. It is a good play.
Speaker 1: A seven wins in a row for the Celtics, who
Speaker 1: clobber the Suns and Phoenix, seven game losing streak for
Speaker 1: the Bruins, destroyed by the Ducks and Anaheim and March
Speaker 1: madness resumes today. The Men's Sweet sixteen kicks off tonight.
Speaker 1: It's a witch hunt says President Trump. The White House
Speaker 1: continues to do damage control in the fallout of an
Speaker 1: online chat group which erroneously included a national journalist, and
Speaker 1: reveal war plans for a bombing run against toothy rebels
Speaker 1: and Yemen. In a Q and A with reporters, the
Speaker 1: President focuses on the results of what he calls a
Speaker 1: very successful military mission and glosses over the leak of
Speaker 1: what many experts believe is classified information on the public
Speaker 1: and free signal messaging app. The losses pile up for
Speaker 1: the White House. A federal of Heels court denies the
Speaker 1: President's bid from using a wartime law to resume deportation
Speaker 1: of alleged Venezuelan gang members. The decision stemies the Justice
Speaker 1: Department's attempts to continue the operation while it fights the lawsuit.
Speaker 1: Hundreds have been sent to an l Salvador lockup in
Speaker 1: defiance of a federal court order. The lawsuit claims the
Speaker 1: Alien Act of seventeen ninety eight is not applicable here,
Speaker 1: but the deportees were also robbed of due process. Boston
Speaker 1: is notorious for its bad traffic, not to mention bad drivers,
Speaker 1: but here's something I bet you probably didn't.
Speaker 4: Know Boston placed first for the safest driving cities in
Speaker 4: the country.
Speaker 1: That's absurd.
Speaker 4: Why is that Boston is extremely difficult to drive? US
Speaker 4: News and World Report focused in on cities with the
Speaker 4: biggest populations and took a look at fatal crash data.
Speaker 4: Who had the most UY arrests and vehicle thefts.
Speaker 1: I definitely doesn't agree.
Speaker 3: I guess on fifty to fifty, I guess it kind
Speaker 3: of made sense Oka common Sy though.
Speaker 4: The study finds that Massachusetts had the lowest average number
Speaker 4: of DUY arrests out of all the cities in the analysis,
Speaker 4: combined with access to public transportation, leading to its high rank.
Speaker 4: It I feel like we're known for being bad drivers
Speaker 4: around here, so I would have expected worse. The least
Speaker 4: safe cities are Memphis, Albuquerque, Tucson, Arizona, and Detroit. I'm
Speaker 4: a Friedman w BZ, Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 1: A nice day in Boston today. Mainly sunny, a bit breezy,
Speaker 1: high temperatures right around fifty. But at this time of
Speaker 1: the year, when the sun's angle is where it is,
Speaker 1: it feels a little bit warmer if you're right in
Speaker 1: the middle of the sunshine, so it's overall one of
Speaker 1: the better days we're going to see over the next
Speaker 1: several As clouds start to move in overnight tonight, maybe
Speaker 1: an isolated shower or two, lows back in the thirties.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we might start with some sunshine, but clouds are
Speaker 1: on the increase, and it's going to be my with
Speaker 1: highs in the middle fifties, so a little bit above
Speaker 1: average tomorrow. But as we turn the page on the weekend,
Speaker 1: it is a very slippery slope. It does not look
Speaker 1: like it's going to be an award winning weekend at all.
Speaker 1: In facts, it's going to be chilly, with highs only
Speaker 1: in the forties, some showers possible both days, and there
Speaker 1: might be some snowflakes involved as well. Right now in Boston,
Speaker 1: clear skies thirty four coming up on sunrise at six
Speaker 1: oh six on this Thursday morning, Atlantic hurricane season is
Speaker 1: about to whip itself into a frenzy.
Speaker 5: We are still a little more than two months away,
Speaker 5: but forecasters say this year will look a lot like
Speaker 5: last year. Last year's hurricane season was one of the
Speaker 5: most devastating and most costly ever. Experts use less than
Speaker 5: technical jargon like supercharge to describe it. This year, our
Speaker 5: partners at ACI Weathers say they expect up to eighteen
Speaker 5: named storms as many as ten hurricanes, up to five
Speaker 5: of which could be major. Hurricane season begins on June first.
Speaker 5: Matt phipps WBZ, Boston's news radio in.
Speaker 1: The final hours before jury selection is set to begin
Speaker 1: in the Karen Reid murder trial. Read ads an alternate
Speaker 1: juror from her first trial to her legal team for
Speaker 1: the second. Victoria George is now on board, and this
Speaker 1: is perfectly legal. George is a practicing civil attorney in
Speaker 1: Massachusetts and has limited to no experience in criminal matters. Still,
Speaker 1: experts say there are many ways she can add insight
Speaker 1: into Reed's defense. Many also say they've never heard of
Speaker 1: these kinds of circumstances. Reads retrial in the killing of
Speaker 1: John O'Keefe begins Tuesday in Norfolk's Superior Courts. Measles continues
Speaker 1: to run circles around health experts in America. The CDC
Speaker 1: says the virus has spread now to Kansas, where about
Speaker 1: two dozen cases have been confirmed. They are believed to
Speaker 1: be connected to the outbreak in West Texas, which has
Speaker 1: hit about three hundred and fifty patients there. A recent
Speaker 1: passenger who hopped on an Amtrak train from Boston to
Speaker 1: d C is also now being evaluated and treated for measles.
Speaker 1: Amtrak is doing some contact tracing with any passengers that
Speaker 1: may have come close to the patient. Also, a new
Speaker 1: study finds the virus and measles vaccination rates for young
Speaker 1: children in the US may be far lower than publicly reported.
Speaker 1: Listen up, A Terror from the Deep is holding court.
Speaker 2: All of those documentaries showing sharks gliding ominously and quietly
Speaker 2: through the water have been missing one thing, the sounds
Speaker 2: they actually make. A new study in the journal Royal
Speaker 2: Society Open Science reveals the first documented case of sharks
Speaker 2: making noise. Researchers who approach small rig sharks off New
Speaker 2: Zealand heard clicking noises produced when the fish forcefully snap
Speaker 2: their spiky flat teeth. Until now, sharks were believed to
Speaker 2: be silent because they don't have swim bladders, which contain
Speaker 2: gas and produce sound. Deborah Rodriguez CBS News.
