<v Speaker 1>us on this Thursday. I'm Jeff Brown Trick.

9
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Unusually warm weather is on the way for this.

10
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Halloween or treat. WBZ aki weather meteorologist Tether's Are says,

11
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>expect highs this afternoon around eighty. It is Halloween, and

12
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 1>all eyes, of course are on Salem.

13
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 2>What's scarier than monsters, ghosts and ghouls, how about the

14
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.560
<v Speaker 2>hordes of visitors filling up every side street in downtown Salem.

15
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm here on Essex Street, which is going to be

16
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>a Halloween hotspot. The locals are reminding visitors that the

17
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>city is not a theme park. Don't come here and

18
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 2>like expect the whole city to move around for you,

19
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 2>Like it's not Disneyland. Most people think of just, you know,

20
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 2>just the Halloween. But there's more to Salem than just Halloween,

21
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of historical features sale. Meanwhile, Salem's mayor

22
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>says they're expecting to break last year's the record number

23
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>of one point two million visitors in the Witch City.

25
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Former porn star and lifelong practicing witch Stormy Daniels is

26
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>in Salem tonight, which is from around the world make

27
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>it a habit every Halloween to gather on Salem Common

28
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 1>to form a magic circle to honor the dead well.

29
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>This year's event also honors Daniels, who they claim is

30
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the victim of a modern day witch hunt following her

31
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>hush money case involving Donald Trump. Daniels, whose real name

32
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 1>is Stephanie Clifford, says she's beyond honored. Some fifteen hundred

33
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 1>witches attended the magic Circle at last year's event. It

34
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>is likely to be a much bigger crowd tonight. Five

35
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>days till Election, America takes out the trash, Donald Trump

36
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>takes a garbage truck to a Wisconsin rally as he

37
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>continues to troll recent comments from President Biden comparing Trump's

38
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>supporters to trash. Kamala Harris goes on damage control to

39
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>distance herself now from her boss's comments. The White House

40
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>clarifies that mister Biden's garbage comments about Trump's supporters were really,

41
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 1>in fact, about a comedian's comments about Puerto Rico at

42
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>a weekend rally in New York City. Baseball reaches the

43
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>top of the mountains, Saint Uses so the call on

44
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Fox Sports wbz's drewm o'hollands. This game had everything on

45
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 1>the road to a championship. It short did for the

46
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>eighth time, jeff the Dodgers claimed the crown. It takes

47
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a miraculous come back to send the Yankees home in

48
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 1>five games, and Dodgers scored five in the fifth to

49
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 1>tie the game. The Yankees took a lead again later,

50
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers come back again. Ends up being Mookie with the

51
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>game winning RBI a sackfly. But the Yankees turned into

52
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>a little league team, Jeffrey, in the middle of this thing,

53
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 1>you are a former coach, a youth ball back in

54
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the night. It had driven me nuts, dropping fly balls, people.

55
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Not covering first base, the pitchers.

56
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 1>It was not good, not good at all. Freddie Freeman,

57
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the World Series MVP well deserved. Can't get him out

58
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>right now exactly well, now you can it's the off season.

59
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>There you go, all right, truth, thank you. This is

60
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 1>delightful this morning. It is a little unusual, and it

61
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 1>is a little unheard of at fifty eight degrees here

62
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>in Boston under clear skies. We're getting started this final

63
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 1>day of October on the right note. You're gonna see

64
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>plenty of sunshine mixing with clouds today, temperatures well into

65
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the seventies at the very least, maybe the low eighties

66
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>in your neighborhood. And even for trick or treat hours

67
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 1>tonight around sundown, we are expecting temperatures to only be

68
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>just a tick below seventy, so no layers for the

69
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 1>kids doing the candy walk tonight. Tomorrow, clouds in a

70
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>shower early in the day, and we certainly do need

71
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 1>the rain. In fact, the drought monitor will be updated

72
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>later on this morning. We are expecting to see some

73
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 1>sunshine though tomorrow afternoon as high temperatures again jump into

74
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the seventies. Much more seasonable weather for this weekend, with

75
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 1>a mix of sun and clouds, mostly highs in the

76
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>fifties coming right up right now. It's fifty eight clear skies. Thursday,

77
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 1>morning in Boston at six oh five. Doctors fear the

78
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:21.439
<v Speaker 1>walking wounded.

79
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 3>The uptick in cases of walking pneumonia has been huge

80
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 3>this year, the CDC saying there have been increases across

81
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 3>all age groups from March thirty first to October fifth.

82
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 3>Infection rates for children peaked in August, and the biggest

83
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 3>increases were seen in young people ages five to seventeen.

84
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 3>That age bracket also saw the biggest percentage of pneumonia

85
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.800
<v Speaker 3>related emergency room visits at seven point four percent. There's

86
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:50.240
<v Speaker 3>no specific explanation on the increases in children, however, doctors

87
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 3>have suggested remote schooling during the pandemic hindered children's ability

88
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 3>to develop immunity against the walking pneumonia bacteria. Jim mckayawb

<v Speaker 1>Boston Cardinal Shan O'Malley retires today for the first time

91
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>in more than twenty years. The city will install a

<v Speaker 1>will be here for the proceedings at the Cathedral of

95
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the Holy Cross. Cardinal O'Malley actually resigned five years ago,

96
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>but Pope Francis asked him to stay on and he did.

97
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>O'Malley will continue to stay on in another capacity as

100
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>several local stop and shop grocery stores today, Seven of

101
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 1>them in Massachusetts are closed defective today as the company

102
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>shrinks the number of underperforming stores by the dozen in

103
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>a cost cutting and efficiency move. Many shoppers, though, are

104
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the ones left holding the bag with a shrinking number

105
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 1>of supermarket alternatives. The leftovers here in Massachusetts and the

106

112
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 4>believes is worthy of a vote, it will be presented

113
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 4>to members immediately. Union members recently rejected the company's proposal

114
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.000
