00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio Rea defining local news. Well,

2
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>look who decided to show up? It's Friday. Get in here,

3
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>you little bugger. Let's bring it in six o'clock on

4
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.039
<v Speaker 1>this Friday morning, and we're getting started under partly to

5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>mostly cloudy skies. It is thirty six degrees in Boston.

6
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 1>The News at six is brought to us by your

7
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 1>new England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters.

8
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for being here. I'm Jeff Brown. As Boston plots

9
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.399
<v Speaker 1>in early spring, comeback, clouds breaking for some sun later

10
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>today with a high of forty eight, but it'll reach

11
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 1>the mid fifties. Well inland. WBZ achiweather meteorologist Joe Lundberg

12
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>will be in the mid fifties tomorrow and well into

13
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the sixties on Sunday. Well. The first of three hearings

14
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 1>is set for today in a Cambridge courtroom where the

15
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>names and the best kept secret in Brothels are about

16
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to be made public. Some of the more than two

17
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>dozen men in high profile positions, which could include elected officials, professors,

18
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>doctors and members of the military, will be exposed for

19
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>doing business with the houses of ill reputed operating in

20
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Greater Boston and just outside the nation's capital. Releasing the

21
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>names has been like pulling teeth, and an attempt to

22
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>protect their privacy created their own cases in court. The

23
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>three master minds of the sprawling brothel enterprise have all

24
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>pleaded guilty recently to federal charges. A pair of Harvard

25
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 1>scientists through the White House when their work goes missing

26
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>from a public database.

27
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>A lawsuit accuses the Trump administration of removing peer reviewed

28
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>articles from a government patient safety website because they contain

29
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>what it calls newly forbidden words. Those words and terms

30
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 2>are transgender and LGBTQ. Harvard medical professors Gordon Schiff and

31
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Celestois say the removal violates their First Amendment right to

32
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.079
<v Speaker 2>free speech. They claim that allowing the government to censor

33
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>research for political reasons will almost certainly increase the number

34
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 2>of Americans who die or are permanently disabled due to

35
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 2>misdiagnosis At Harvard Medical. James rohas WBZ Boston's news radio.

36
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Time is getting precious in a shutdown showdown on Capitol Hill,

37
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.599
<v Speaker 1>and it looks like the Democrats are gonna blink. Senate

38
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says, given the circumstances, he will

39
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>vote with Republicans to keep the government running with a

40
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>six month extension. Schumer says it beats watching the entire

41
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 1>economy go into free fall, and he urges his colleagues

42
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to join him in a vote for what he would

43
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>determine to be the good of the country. Senators have

44
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>until midnight tonight before Cinderella's Slipper no longer fits. Bruins

45
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>faceplant on the road as the Red Hots. Senators teach

46
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the Bees a hard lesson. Bruins will host the Tampa

47
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 1>Bay Lightning tomorrow night. Celtics will take their talents to

48
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Miami tonight and spring training baseball Red Sox also take

49
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>on Miami the Marlins in Jupiter, Florida this afternoon. First

50
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 1>pitch is coming up at four to ten, and another

51
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 1>reminder that Southwest Airlines is starting to act like all

52
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>other carriers and on the ground, Amtrak starts poking that bear.

53
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:07.479
<v Speaker 3>The Passenger railroad company posted on X this week, guess

54
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 3>we're the only ones doing free baggage now. It then

55
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 3>reminded passengers they can bring one personal item up to

56
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 3>twenty five pounds plus two curry on items up to

57
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 3>fifty pounds each. Southwest Airlines announced on Tuesday would begin

58
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 3>charging most customers for checked bags on May twenty eighth.

59
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Passengers that have high loyalty status will still be allowed

60
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 3>to check two bags for free.

61
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm Mark Mayfield and started under partly to mostly cloudy

62
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>skies this morning in Boston. Its thirty six degrees. The

63
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 1>winds are relatively calm as we walk out the door.

64
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 1>We will see clouds breaking for some sun from time

65
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to time today and a little bit milder than yesterday

66
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 1>as we'll make a run at the lower fifties in

67
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 1>inland locations might stall in the upper forties along the

68
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 1>shoreline today Overnight tonight, more low clouds and some patchy

69
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>fog too. Will drop into the thirties this weekend. Seems

70
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like we're going to be on a bit of a roll.

71
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Temperatures tomorrow will be well into the fifties under mostly

72
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 1>cloudy skies. It will become a little bit breezier tomorrow

73
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday for the Saint Patrick's Day Parade in South Boston.

74
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Temperatures later in the day, especially right after noontime, That's

75
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>when we'll notice the difference as the tempts jump into

76
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the sixties, some inland locations will get very close. I

77
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say this too loud because you don't

78
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>want to jinx it, but some inland locations might get

79
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:26.920
<v Speaker 1>very close to seventy on Sunday. It's still winter. Technically

80
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 1>we've got less than a week to go, but I

81
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>guess we'll take it right. Thirty six degrees, mostly cloudy

82
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>right now in Boston at six oh six this Friday morning.

83
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 1>This trash is no one's treasure in East Boston. CBS

84
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>News Boston's Mike Sullivan has our story caught on.

85
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 4>Camera right in East Boston, a man in a van

86
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 4>jumping bags of garbage, trying to blend in with the

87
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 4>neighborhood trash day.

88
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Like this one.

89
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>You could tell it was all construction material and it

90
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>was really heavy.

91
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.680
<v Speaker 4>We spoke with a neighbor who lives nearby. He asked

92
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 4>or made anonymous.

93
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 2>My landlord who looked out our window one day and

94
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 2>noticed that there was a van out front.

95
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.399
<v Speaker 4>It was sitting at the corner of Sumner and or

96
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 4>Leeds Street. The person who owns a surveillance video came

97
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 4>out to confront the person doing the dumping, telling them

98
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:14.680
<v Speaker 4>you can't do this, he said.

99
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.600
<v Speaker 1>My boss told me to people threatened to call the cops.

100
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>It was enough of a threat for the worker to

101
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>pick up his toys, his trash and go home. A

102
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>federal Anti Semitism task course is about to pay a

103
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.839
<v Speaker 1>visit to Boston. The panel wants to meet with Mayor

104
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Michelle Wu as well as her counterparts from New York City, Denver,

105
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and Chicago soon, all of whom recently testified to a

106
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>House committee on sanctuary cities on Capitol Hill. Officials with

107
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the Justice Department say the task force would like a

108
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 1>word with each mayor about responses to anti semitism at

109
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>schools and on college campuses over the past couple of years.

110
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 1>Mayor's office in Boston says the city stands behind its

111
00:05:54.920 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>local policies as it weighs an appropriate response to the FEDS.

112
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 1>No progress in Middle East peace talks this morning. Negotiations

113
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>involving the United States, Israel, and Hamas to extend the

114
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>terms of a recently expired six week ceasefire have gone nowhere. Meantime,

115
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Russian President Vladimir Putin indicates he is open to discussing

116
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine's ideas for a ceasefire, but skeptics say Putin's ideas

117
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 1>would make a truce an impossibility. Still, Putin says he

118
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>wants to talk about it with President Trump over the

119
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 1>phone and do it soon. You are now in the

120
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 1>loop for news updates throughout the day. Listen to WBZ
