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

2
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.759
<v Speaker 1>three degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. We are following some developments, says.

4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Multiple reports say President elect Donald Trump will nominate Robert F.

5
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Kennedy Junior to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 1>After RFK dropped out of the presidential race as an independent,

7
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>he endorsed Trump for president. The president elect has mentioned

8
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>him joining his cabinet on multiple occasions, saying RFK Junior

9
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>will help make America healthy again. Kennedy, among other things,

10
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.560
<v Speaker 1>has been an outspoken critic of vaccine mandates. A man

11
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>is seriously heard after a bus slams into a building

12
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>in Fitchburg, trapping that man underneath of the bctv's Beth

13
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Grumano tells us it happened at the Intermodal Transportation Building

14
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:53.799
<v Speaker 1>in downtown Fitchburg.

15
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Marianna Payne had just gotten onto the Fitchburg City bus

16
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>before eight am when she says, it suddenly started rolling.

17
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 3>I realized that we were moving, and once we started moving,

18
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 3>the glasshow came into the bus. There was someone in

19
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 3>front of the bus, he got dragged by the bus.

20
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Paine says it appeared the driver had no control when

21
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>the bus went through the glass wall of the bus

22
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 2>terminal in downtown Fitchburg, striking a sixty five year old

23
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>male sitting on a bench who became pinned underneath.

24
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 4>Crews were able to lift the bus up using airbags

25
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 4>in our electronic jaws of life, we were able to

26
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 4>pull them out. How medics went to work on them

27
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 4>and Life flightd them to UMass.

28
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Investigators are now trying to determine what happened in the

29
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>moments before the crash.

30
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 1>A number of witnesses had tried unsuccessfully to lift the

31
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>bus off the victim. The driver of the bus wasn't injured,

32
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 1>the only other only one other person was on the

33
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 1>bus at the time. As the teachers strike continues in Gloucester,

34
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Beverly and Marblehead, some good news for student athletes in Marblehead,

35
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 1>the school superintendent says, after due diligence and meeting with

36
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>the athletic director and administrators, he's determined that athletic and

37
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>extracurricular activities in town can equitably and safely go on

38
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>as schedule. These superintendent says they'll be utilizing non teacher,

39
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>non union personnel to support the activities and appreciate the

40
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>assistance in ensuring student participation. Meantime, schools are still closed

41
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 1>in Beverly, Glocester, and Marble Lad, though the towns are

42
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 1>going to court. It is illegal in Massachusetts to engage

43
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>in a teachers strike. Beverly and Gloucester teachers already facing

44
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 1>fines and will face more if they don't get back

45
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>into the classroom. Nearly a dozen state representatives are going

46
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.599
<v Speaker 1>to travel to Cuba tomorrow. The Beacon Hill lawmakers will

48
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>and research institutes, along with several charities. Representative James govern

49
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>says he hopes the trip will be a step toward

50
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 1>improving relations between Cuba and the US and foster critical

51
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>conversations about getting humanitarian aid into the island nation. A

59
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 5>where he will become the first US president ever to

60
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 5>visit the Amazon rainforest. Later, it's on to Rio de

61
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 5>Janeiro for the g twenty Summit. The leaders of twenty

62
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 5>nations responsible for much of the world's carbon emissions, will

63
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 5>focus on a number of issues, including global climate change.

<v Speaker 5>Linda Kenyon CBS News clear.

65
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>To partly cloudy skies Tonight. It is going to be

66
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>chilly again, back into the twenties, maybe even the low

67
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>twenties and some of the coldest suburbs about thirty four downtown,

68
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 1>upper thirties over the Cape and islands. Then weather starts

69
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>to improve as we get into warmer air fifty eight

70
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 1>for the high. Tomorrow it will become breezier, so we

71
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>will have that fire risk getting a little bit to

72
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>higher with some sunshine and a few clouds around Tomorrow

73
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 1>night it's partly cloudy, thirties in the suburbs, forty two

74
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 1>downtown and then a windy Saturday, so again fire risks

75
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>abound sixty one for the high temperature with that gusty

76
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>wind in a mix of sun and clouds. Sunday, we'll

77
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 1>have a breeze, some sunshine, sixty one in or I

78
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't say rain anywhere in that forecast. Right now, forty

79
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>three degrees in Boston no longer a desert. What local

80

<v Speaker 1>Shearer takes a sip.

83
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 6>The former Beef and Ale restaurant in Stowe has been

84
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 6>quietly rotting on the side of the road for sixteen years,

85
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 6>but suddenly it's rotting loudly. We're doing the demo for

86
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 6>the Duncanonis. That's Lewis and you heard him right. He's

87
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 6>turning it into a Duncan. Best news ever, So why

88
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 6>is this such a big deal. Well, for that we

89
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 6>go back in time two years.

90
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 7>There is no more duck Donuts and Stuf.

91
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:40.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it sucks.

92
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 6>In twenty twenty two, Stow lost both its Duncan locations,

93
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.879
<v Speaker 6>which made international news because of my video about it,

94
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 6>featuring this local teenager named Elizabeth.

95
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 3>There's nothing fun to do and Dunkin Donuts was the

96
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 3>one place where everyone likes to go.

97
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 6>Well, two years later, are you good? Good to see

98

<v Speaker 6>you get to tell her the good news.

99
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 2>That's wild, that's actually amazing.

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:00.439

107
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>As we hear from wz's Heile Shaffele, for.

108
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.160
<v Speaker 7>Basically the first time in her entire life, Kat is

109
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.079
<v Speaker 7>about to see red.

110
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 6>I've remember times before.

111
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, I've been really nervous to try it. You really,

112
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I guess know what You've been missing out on your

113
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 1>whole life, which is kind of sad.

114
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 7>She, like four others wandering around the Pbdesx Museum now

115
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 7>has a pair of tinted glasses on. They're all red, green,

116
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 7>color blind, but they get a break from it today.

117
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Reds are popping, reds and oranges are really popping.

118
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 7>The specs are from in Chroma, a company partnering with

119
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 7>the museum to supply these special glasses that let colorblind

120
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.279
<v Speaker 7>visitors see the art and truer colors. Patro Slinkard is

121
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 7>a curator here.

122
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 3>I think for many museums on low vision has become

123
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 3>a priority, but unfortunately, I think color blindness was ever looked.

124
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 7>Many of the participants in the glasses gave the art

125
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 7>more depth. The museum will not lend out these glasses

126
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 7>to visitors for free. Kyle Shaffeld Toms Boston's News Radio.

127
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Looking to get a few ski runs in this weekend,

128
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 1>try Sunday, not the day, but Sunday River. They opened

129
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.600

130
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>so just expert skiers were encouraged to ski, snowmaking guns,

131
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>or running when the temperatures permitted until nature takes over.

132
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I suppose, in addition to Sunday River, Killington opening for
