<v Speaker 3>anything wrong.

29
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>If you appropriate the money to me, I'm going to

30
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>spend that we.

31
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Have appropriated, mister secret But he also seemed to indicate

32
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 3>the cuts are not his IDEA.

33
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Whitehouse proposal is to do very very large cuts at

34
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>and I ah.

35
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:54.280

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 1>The Celtics play the Knicks in a must win game

40
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>at the Garden tonight. Celtics fans are devastated after losing

41
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Jason Tatum to a serious injury. But once as the

42
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 1>road ahead looked like WBC's Kyle Bray went.

43
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 5>To find out, it was a scary site for self

44
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 5>expanse to see star Jason Tatum rupture his Achilles tendon

45
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 5>on national TV. But now that he's gone under the knife,

46
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 5>the road to recovery begins. Mass General Brigham doctor Adam

47
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 5>ten Forty tells me these injuries are particularly devastating.

48
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 6>The challenge with the Achilles tendon is that it's very

49
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 6>important for being able to develop the ballistic athletic movements

50
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 6>that are required to be the All Star athlete that

51
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 6>Jason Tatum is.

52
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 5>He'll need to make up for the lost muscle during

53
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 5>his post surgery recovery and then focus on rebuilding his

54
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 5>coordination and strength. The Celtics haven't given a timeline yet,

55
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 5>but doctor ten forty says we could see him back

56
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 5>next year.

57
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 6>We will see athletes as quickly as six months get

58
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 6>back into sport. We give a range of six to

59
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 6>nine months because there's a number of different factors to

60
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 6>go into tissue healing.

00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>down into the mid fifties with a couple of showers

66
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.360

70
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 1>cloudy skies, the spotty shower around. Temperatures into the seventies,

71
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and then we're in the low to mid seventies on Saturday.

72
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 1>There'll be breaks of sunshine. They'll also be the threat

<v Speaker 1>Madison Rodgers with more.

77
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.560
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of confusion right now as the Trump

78
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 4>administration looks to cut spending in the name of efficiency

79
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 4>and aligning programs with the president's agenda. In the last

<v Speaker 4>four months, the dashboard at mass dot gov slash fed

81
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Impact says state agencies have seen three hundred and fifty

82
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 4>million dollars in pulled funds. Some of the biggest cuts

83
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.120
<v Speaker 4>are money for vaccines for kids, mental health care for students,

84
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:21.000
<v Speaker 4>emergency shelter programs. Health and Human Services is the hardest

<v Speaker 4>of millions of dollars for federal programs, jobs, and research

87
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 4>grants in Massachusetts, and they're hoping this will be a

88
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 4>helpful tool for local municipalities along with businesses and nonprofits

99
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.600

<v Speaker 7>who walk in.

103
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.160

104
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 1>the space was the Scoop and Scootery since.

105
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.439

106
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 7>a decade. The plan is to change up operations a little.

107
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's going to be a homemade ice cream but.
