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

2
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, It's eleven o'clock on a Friday, and hope

3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 2>you're going to enjoy this forecast. Coming up, we have

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:21.440
<v Speaker 2>a super moon today and that's going to be beautiful,

5
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.519
<v Speaker 2>otherwise known as the beaver Moon. Stand by for moon

6
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 2>news coming up. I'm Laurie Kirby. Good morning. It is

7
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.439
<v Speaker 2>no deal, no school again in three more shore communities.

8
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, it was a week ago today the teachers

9
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 2>in Beverly and Gloucester hit the picket lines, and then

10
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>four days ago Marblehead educators did the same. We have

11
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 2>an update. Friday night football is on in Marblehead. The

12
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 2>superintendent has had a change of heart lifting a pause

13
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 2>on all extracurricular activities. Now this means any weekend event too.

14
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 2>If you're a cheerleader or a runner, whatever you're doing.

15
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>The competition is now back on. However, the teachers there

16
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.959
<v Speaker 2>will pay the price, the union having to pay fines,

17
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 2>just like Beverly and Gloucester for every day they remain

18
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 2>on strike. The Teachers' Union in Marblehead is holding a

19
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>rally this afternoon at one at Salem State University. We

20
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 2>will have more as it happens. The United Nations and

21
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 2>other international aid groups say that famine once again looms

22
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 2>large over in northern Gaza. The State Department has decided

23
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 2>not to impose an arms embargo on Israel, despite giving

24
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 2>the country a thirty day deadline to improve humanitarian conditions.

25
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>ABC's Jordanna Miller has.

26
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 3>More the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza falling nearly

27
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 3>to the lowest levels since the first few months of

28
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 3>the war. For many months, we saw about two hundred

29
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 3>and fifty trucks a day, entering in October, we only

30
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>saw a daily average of about seventy, and so far

31
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 3>this month about one hundred. Major distribution problems also a

32
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 3>huge factor. Whether it's idea of combat, looting by Hamas

33
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 3>and other groups, or un logistics, the aid simply isn't

34
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 3>getting into the hands of people who need it. Jordanah Miller,

37

<v Speaker 1>Kennedy, junior in charge of one of the biggest departments

40
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 1>in the federal government. AJHS includes agencies that touch every

41
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 1>aspect of American life, from the foods you eat to

42
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the medicine you take. The former acting director of the

43
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Centers for Disease Control, doctor Richard Besser, saying Kennedy as

44
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 1>AHHS secretary would pose incredible risks to the health of

45
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the nation and that he's worsening mistrust in the public

46
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 1>health system.

47
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 2>RFK, Junior has been an outspoken skeptic of public health

48
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>norms like vaccines and water fluoridation. Senator Warren also expressed

49
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>her concerns. She says she's got a lot of questions

50
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 2>for RFK when he appeared on Capitol Hill for confirmation hearings.

51
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 2>The former treasurer of a North a youth football league

52
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>on the North Shore has just pleaded guilty to larceny.

53
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 2>James Potenza was first charged with embezzling eighty grand from

54
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 2>the Pentucket Youth Football League in twenty eleven. Now he

55
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to go on trial the next year, and

56
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>then he fled to the Middle East. Authorities caught him

57
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.000
<v Speaker 2>arrested him when he came back here to renew his passport.

58
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 2>He was nailed. He has now been sentenced to jail

59
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 2>time and he has to pay back at least some

60
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.560
<v Speaker 2>of the money he stole from the Football League. Achi

61
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 2>weather Breezey's Sonny red flag warning today and a high

62
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>to day of fifty seven tonight are low forty two,

63
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 2>much warmer in Boston. If you're inland, maybe thirty six.

64
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Here comes fifty nine degrees. Now this is a little

65
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 2>bit cooler. We were thinking this weekend we'd be in

66
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the sixties zone. Close it says fifty nine. I'm assuming

67
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>that's for downtown Boston on average, so maybe interior sections

68
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 2>will be warmer. But there it is on the cooler side.

69
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>And again Sonny and gusty. Our rain, which is going

70
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>to be just a little bit, not enough to mitigate

71
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 2>our drought, is Monday, and actually I think we're all

72
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to some rain. In fact, the ongoing drought

73
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>and threat of brushfires is causing one South Shore town

74
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>to cancel a potentially dangerous Thanksgiving Day tradition. Wbz's Jim

75
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 2>McKay is in Hall.

76
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 4>It's been affecting everything. Our reservoirs are low. Ryan from

77
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.360
<v Speaker 4>Hall knows all too well just how serious the ongoing

78
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.439
<v Speaker 4>drought is. That's why he wasn't surprised to hear Hall

79
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 4>would be postponing the Fantaskic Beach Thanksgiving bonfire this year.

80
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I've lived here around thirty years.

81
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Cindy can't remember a situation ever like this, at least

82
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 4>not on the South Shore. But for people with family

83
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.480
<v Speaker 4>elsewhere across the country, it's now hitting home.

84
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 2>My daughter lives in Colorado and they expect fire.

85
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 4>Helen says she understands why they called it off and

86
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 4>just helps some mother nature. It provides us with some

87
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 4>rain showers soon.

88
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>We don't expect it here. It's that bad, the lack

89
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>of range at hole.

<v Speaker 4>Jim MCKAWBZ Boston's news radio.

91
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 2>And an emergency meeting in Attleborough was just held on

92
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.879
<v Speaker 2>their ongoing drought, and of course it's across the northeast,

93
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 2>but they are running low on water. The mayor says

94
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>the city is only three months left of their water

95
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>supply before it runs out. Now, as we've been reporting,

96
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.519
<v Speaker 2>they're working to get a pipe, a simple pipe into

97
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 2>the ground to connect with the Pawtucket water supply by

98
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>early December. That's going to be a huge relief. And

99
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>also the Sun Chronicles says they're trying to hook up

100
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.199
<v Speaker 2>with towns like Mansfield nearby. You're going to hook up

101
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 2>hydrants that will supply Addleborough with more water every day.

102
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.759
<v Speaker 2>But again, in the meantime, the mayor is reminding everybody

103
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 2>please conserve your water where you can. And it may

104
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 2>sound funny or it may sound like an infringement on

105
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 2>your showering activity. Take shorter showers. We heard that from

106
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Governor Morehey earlier this week as well. Even restaurants and

107
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>bars can do their part. A former late night host

108
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>from Brookline will MC the Oscars for the first time,

109
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.759
<v Speaker 2>and I think a lot of us are looking forward

110
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 2>to it. And the Oscar Awards go to Oh No No.

111
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 5>Brian, the former late night talk show host, will emc

112
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 5>the ninety seventh Oscars, his first time.

113
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 2>In the role.

114
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.720
