11
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.799

<v Speaker 2>Even New England is feeling the Domino effective chaos brought

20
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 2>on by Helene. Flights to and from Logan are among

21
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.359
<v Speaker 2>the many affected. Wbz's James Rojas is at terminal see

22
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>with that.

23
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 4>Though not everyone is traveling to parts of the country

24
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 4>impacted by Helene, people like Bailey are wishing others who

25
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 4>are affected the best.

26
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Parts with them.

27
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 4>Hopefully it's okay. My team works out. They're based out

28
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 4>of Charlotte, so I know they're expecting some weather today. Yeah,

29
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 4>fingers crossed.

30
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:32.200

<v Speaker 4>Communications with the American Red Cross of Massachusetts.

33
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 5>Part of what we do for our long term recovery

34
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 5>is we help these communities build resistance after the storm

35
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 5>has come through. You know, maybe they're back in a home,

36
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 5>but it's not their original home or it's not long

37
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 5>term housing. We try to focus on that too, because

38
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 5>we know the next one.

39
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 4>Is coming, she says. Teams in the base state are

43
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>thanks to flight Aware for you. Delays at Logan eighty three,

44
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>cancelations thirty three and we'll check your traffic delays in

45
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>a minute? Could fare increases be coming on the MBTA?

46
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Speaking at a Boston Globe summit, TGM philipp Eang said

47
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>fair hikes are not off the table, but he adds

48
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>you cannot fund the MBTA on the backs of riders

49
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>in the public. The TEA is facing a shortfall next

50
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.479
<v Speaker 2>year that will take hundreds of millions of dollars to fix,

51
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 2>and says he will push cost cuts, try to attract

52
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 2>new funding mechanisms, and lean into government allies for help

53
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>in averting that financial crisis. Updating this story now, the

54
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 2>head of a high end brothel that used local apartments

55
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>and raked in huge sums of money will plead guilty

56
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 2>today without a plea deal. Lindsay Weinstein, out of the

57
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>US E Tie Office, says Han Lee will plead guilty

58
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>of federal prostitution and money laundering charges. She's facing up

59
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 2>to twenty five years in prison. We'll have mor as

60
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>it happens next to climate demonstrator's head to prison. So

61
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>so nice out. We're seeing some clouds out there, but

62
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>there are very very few, and they're very high up

63
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and they're not rain clouds. The rain is done we're

64
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>drying out, the sun is coming out, we're warming up.

65
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>We're now seeing quite a few places already in the

66
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>seventies are high. Today's seventy six, and tonight should be

67
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>back in the fifties. For are low and just a

68
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>few clouds around, but you still might have a shot

69
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>at seeing some comets flying by. And then Saturday and

70
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 2>Sunday can't be beat. We're in the seventies each day

71
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>in some of those inland areas. Might be a little

72
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>bit cooler in the Capan Islands, but really beautiful and

73
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 2>dry all the way through Monday. So we learned this

<v Speaker 2>If you saw a group of women walking last night

85
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.199
<v Speaker 2>in wedding dresses in Lawrence, you might have wondered why well.

86
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 2>The Eagle Tribune reports it was the annual bride's March

87
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 2>to shine a light on domestic violence. The annual walk

88
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.199

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.480

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 2>key to slowing Earth's warmings. CBS's Christopher Cruz explains.

104
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 8>The remarkably well preserved three thousand, seven hundred seventy five

<v Speaker 8>year old log, discovered about six feet under a farm

106
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 8>in Canada, gave climate scientists at the University of Maryland

107
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 8>an idea. Since wood captures a lot of carbon dioxide,

108
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 8>could burying a lot of wood in wood vaults slow

109
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 8>its decomposition and lock away human generated carbon dioxide, possibly
