<v Speaker 1>Er.

00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 2>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

3
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 3>Good Thursday morning. It's mild and we're seeing some showers

4
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.280
<v Speaker 3>fifty vibe degrees in downtown Boston. I'm Laurie Kirby. We

5
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 3>begin in Washington, where the House of Representatives has just

6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 3>voted to censure Democratic Texas Congressman Al Green. Green was

7
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 3>removed from President Trump's address to Congress Tuesday night for

8
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 3>shouting to the president. House Speaker Mike Johnson told Green

9
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 3>to sit down, but he refused. Today's censure resolution officially

10
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 3>documents the House's deep disapproval of Green's conduct. It was

11
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:47.280
<v Speaker 3>approved in a mostly party line vote, and President Trump

12
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 3>tees up the new executive ordered, this one targeting the

13
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 3>entire Department of Education. Wldbz's James Rojas.

14
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Reports dismantling the Department of Education from within. That's reportedly

15
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 1>the direct from an executive order that the President is

16
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>expected to sign soon.

17
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Not a great idea.

18
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 4>The Department ARAD was created for a reason and it

19
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 4>really should stay that way.

20
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>It's very scary and alarming, especially for students with disabilities.

21
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>That'spressa led.

22
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 3>My daughter would never have graduate at high school. I

23
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 3>don't want their education to meet the minutes planning means.

24
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.439
<v Speaker 3>But at the same time, it's like appears the people

25
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:23.280
<v Speaker 3>voted for it.

26
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>It takes an Act of Congress to abolish the department,

27
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>but the executive order is expected to direct the new

28
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>Secretary of Education to take steps to close it. At

30
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 3>Weekly unemployment claims drop nationwide. ABC's Jim Ryan has that my.

31
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 4>Two thousand first time claims for unemployment benefits were filed

32
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 4>in the week leading up to February twenty second. In

33
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 4>the week after that, according to the Labor Department, filings

34
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 4>declined by an almost identical twenty one thousand. Tomorrow we

35
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 4>get the employment report for all of February. It's expected

36
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 4>to show that one hundred and seventy thousand jobs were

37
00:01:58.879 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 4>created last month.

38
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 3>And we are getting an ap alert out of Washington,

39
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 3>where President Trump's Commerce secretary has just indicated that the

40
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.039
<v Speaker 3>US tariffs slapped on our trading partners Canada and Mexico

41
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 3>are likely delayed for months on most goods and services. Again,

42
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 3>earlier today, we're hearing from the Canadian Prime Minister Justin

43
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Trudeau saying he expects a trade war to last for

44
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 3>the foreseeable future. With the US Wall Street reaction coming up,

45
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 3>and we have an update on the Boyleston manhunt has

46
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 3>started with a shooting at a home on Central Street

47
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 3>around this time yesterday. Authorities now say police shot and

48
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 3>killed someone, but it's unclear if it's the same shooting,

49
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 3>and the Wooster County DA has not said how the

50
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 3>officer was involved her who was killed. Again, We've reached

51
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 3>out to the Wooster DA for comment. Mostly cloudy throughout

52
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 3>the day, breezy, mild, with showers, just a couple How hot, well,

53
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 3>how mild, I should say, not quite hot. Fifty eight

54
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 3>degrees are high. We're in the load of mid fifties

55
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 3>out there right now. Then we flip that switch. Two things.

56
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 3>One wind advisory is starting at seven o'clock tonight, so

57
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 3>we have some very very blustery weather moving in and

58
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 3>it's going to be very cold. We're going to feel

59
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 3>like we're still in the winter season, which we are.

60
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 3>Load tonight, you're thirty in Boston, some of you will

61
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 3>be in the teens again tomorrow forty five. Real feel

62
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 3>much colder during the day and that looks like we're

63
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 3>in the mid to low forties for both Saturday and Sunday.

64
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 3>We spring forward this weekend as well as promised, Boston

65
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Calling is making some changes to the experience, and wbz's

66
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 3>Drew Mholland has that.

67
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 5>Pins of spring all over the map right in Boston

68
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 5>Calling Memorial Day weekend. It's going to be here before

69
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 5>we know it. Loopcomb's Fallout Boy, Dave Matthews Band, the

70
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 5>Big three headliners each night. And now Boston Calling is

71
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 5>announcing a partnership with Berkeley College of Music. The goal

72
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 5>will be to showcase student performances, and they do so

73
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 5>in the festival's indoor arena.

74
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 3>Not only will you get the chance.

75
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 5>To watch some fantastic young jazz musicians, but this also

76
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 5>offers a comfortable retreat and can get out of the heat,

77
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 5>grab a drink, whatever. And as you probably know, Berkeley

78
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 5>students and alumni tend to be a big part of

79
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 5>Boston Calling anyway. Look, God Kieran Rhoades rocked the place

80
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 5>last year and this is a bit of a throwback.

81
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 5>Boston Callings indoor arena used to be used all the time.

82
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 5>You might remember a film festival hosted by Natalie Portman.

83
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 5>So this is pretty cool. Boston Calling and Berkeley College
