00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio. We defining local.

2
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:13.480
<v Speaker 2>News Friday morning. Blue skies, breezy out there. We have

3
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.919
<v Speaker 2>a wind advisory and a wind warning out there is

4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.199
<v Speaker 2>going to be a blustery weekend, but clear. We hope

5
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>to see more lanes cleared on the mass Pike after

6
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.440
<v Speaker 2>a serious rollover crash this morning in Alston. Let's go

7
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.559
<v Speaker 2>back to Kevin Bredditt in the WBZ twenty four hour

8
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>traffic station.

9
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Louri.

10
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 3>Cleanup continues here eastbound on the mass Pike right at

11
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.000
<v Speaker 3>the Alston Curve. Earlier this morning, just prior to five

12
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 3>o'clock this morning, we had a tractor trailer rollover with

13
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 3>a fuel spill. They're still in the process of cleaning

14
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 3>that up. They were able to get the truck uprighted

15
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.560
<v Speaker 3>and out of there. Nonetheless, two left lanes are still

16
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 3>blocked here. Right lane is getting by, and you got

17
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 3>about a five mile backup. Officials are estimating cleanup should

18
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 3>be a little after eleven maybe eleven thirty here, but

19
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 3>that's just a guestimation. I'll have more for you just

20
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 3>a bit. With traffic on the.

21
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Threes, speed was a factor. A new National Safety report

22
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>investigated the MBTA Green Line crash last month in Summerville.

23
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.359
<v Speaker 2>The NTSB also found the trolley was speeding when it

24
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>blasted through a stop sign before kreened into an out

25
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>of service train, derailing. Both two passengers and four crew

26
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 2>members were injured. The t says it look this over

27
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 2>and they agree with the initial findings of this report.

28
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>Now moving forward, federal investigators say they will focus now

29
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>on crash worthiness, human performance, internal and external safety oversight,

30
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>and operating procedures. Also, TA crews worked through the night

31
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:47.319
<v Speaker 2>inspecting and removing ceiling panels after one came careening down

32
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 2>on the Red Line ceiling yesterday, hitting no people, but

33
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 2>it did hit the subway platform at Harvard Station. We

34
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>are standing by for President Trump to speak any moment

35
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>now from the Oval Office. It's unclear about what and

36
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 2>the speech was only just added to his schedule within

37
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>the last hour. It comes as businesses nation water facing

38
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>a case of tariff whiplash, with President Trump pausing some

39
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>of the tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports for a

40
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 2>second time. ABC's Mary Bruce reports.

41
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 4>The suspension just a short term escape until April second.

42
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 4>According to the White House, about half of imports from Mexico,

43
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 4>and only thirty eight percent of goods from Canada qualify

44
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 4>for the pause, including auto parts and most produce. Economists

45
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.680
<v Speaker 4>continue to warn that Trump's sweeping tariffs will be paid

46
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 4>for it by American businesses who will pass along the

47
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 4>costs to consumers in the form of higher prices.

48
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 2>Will take a look at the markets at eleven A

49
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>see if that selloff goes on. Meanwhile, President Trump says

50
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>he sent a letter to around Supreme Leader seeking to

51
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>negotiate a nuclear deal. The President mentioned the letter in

52
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 2>an interview on Fox this morning, and by the way,

53
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 2>it's been confirmed by the White House. Perhaps this is

54
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>what this will be about the Oval Office, not a speech,

55
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 2>but he will speak from the Oval Office momentarily, President Trump,

56
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>We're standing by. I do want to add. It comes

57
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>as Tehran enriches uranium at near weapons grade levels right now,

58
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>with both the United States and Israel warning they will

59
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>never let Iran acquire a nuclear weapon. Let's go back

60
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 2>to the latest jobs report, now out mixed reviews.

61
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 1>The Labor Department reports one hundred and fifty one thousand

62
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>jobs added to the US economy last month, with unemployment

63
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>up slightly from four to four point one percent, economist

64
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Gus Fauchet.

65
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 5>As of early twenty twenty five, the labor market is

66
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 5>quite solid and the unemployment rate remains historically low.

67
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Today's numbers do not take into account federal government firings.

68
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I see snow on the Doppler in Massachusetts right now,

69
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>in western mass This is part of a system that

70
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>is covering a lot of New York, Syrahcuse, Kingston. Actually

71
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 2>this goes up to Canada. Interesting, so we are seeing

72
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of snow in the Berks years right

73
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 2>now that it's pretty or not because we do have

74
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>those strong winds. So actually that could be a problem

75
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 2>for visibility. Winds gusting to fifty five miles an hour

76
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>today and that sun is not really going to do

77
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 2>much in terms of warming us out of the real

78
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>field twenty zone during the daytime, and the wind sticks

79
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>around this entire weekend as well. I don't see any

80
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 2>precipitation in this forecast through the weekend. We warm up

81
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>on Monday. It's a snuggle weekend. There you have it.

82
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>It's also a weekend to lose a little sleep. Unfortunately,

83
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 2>we got an extra hour of sleep last fall. Didn't

84
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 2>we well, we're paying it back this weekend. Wbz's Drewmalin

85
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>is more on daylight saving time.

86
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, time is messing with our minds again this weekend,

87
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 6>and losing that hour of sleep actually does do some harm.

88
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 6>Increases symptoms of anxiety depression. It's also been tied to

89
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 6>a rise in heart attacks and strokes, so that's not good.

90
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 6>Them will rise after seven am on Sunday, But there

91
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 6>is that silver lining and it is a big one, folks.

92
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 6>The sun will set at six forty five pm.

93
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Poor sleep can be a problem for teens.

94
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 5>Teens who don't get enough sleep are at risk for

95
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 5>high blood pressure. A study by the American Heart Association

96
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 5>found teens who either had insomnia or slept less than

97
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 5>seven point seven hours had an elevated blood pressure compared

98
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 5>to teens who were getting enough sleep. The findings show

99
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.399
<v Speaker 5>that poor sleep can impact the heart even at younger.

100
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Ages, CBS, says Mike George. The American Academy of Sleep

101
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Medicine recommends teens get eight to ten hours of sleep

102
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>every night. Most high school students get about six and

103
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 2>a half hours of sleep, So there is a national

104
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 2>do not Call Registry. How about a do not knock list.

105
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Matsouan has one. They have long allowed residents to join

106
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>the police departments no knock registry to stop salespeople at

107
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.160
<v Speaker 2>your front door. But the Eagle Tribune says the city

108
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.879
<v Speaker 2>just put the application online and they've been absolutely swamped.

109
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 2>More than five hundred and twenty seven people signed up

110
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.160
<v Speaker 2>in the first twenty four hours. The mayor actually talked

111
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.759
<v Speaker 2>to the Tribune. He said he himself has fallen victim

112
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to the inconvenient house visits that knock on the door.

113
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 2>They don't know when we work, they don't know we

114
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>get up at four am, they don't care, and that

115
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 2>many of the complaints he's seeing are about door to

116
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.600
<v Speaker 2>door salespeople selling solar panels. You are now in the loop.
