Speaker 2: breaking news in the Middle East, a ceasefire reportedly shattered.
Speaker 2: Lebanese officials now telling rerouders Israel fired an airstrike, killing
Speaker 2: at least two people in southern Lebanon. This after Israel
Speaker 2: signed a ceasefire deal with Hezbolah, which only started taking
Speaker 2: effect last week. Meantime, Israel says Hezbolah has fired into
Speaker 2: a disputed border zone. Hesbolah's calling it a warning, a
Speaker 2: warning strike, saying Israel has repeatedly violated the ceasefire. And again,
Speaker 2: so fresh, it's a very very new ceasefire and it
Speaker 2: looks like it has been shattered at this point in time.
Speaker 2: But again, take us on the go. We'll have more
Speaker 2: on this both here and streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the White House to be President Elect
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's pick to leave the FBI as a lot
Speaker 2: of defenders and a whole lot of detractors too. The
Speaker 2: nod goes to Cash Patel, who famously wrote last year
Speaker 2: in his book that he wants to shut down FBI
Speaker 2: headquarters and scatter its staff to field offices around the nation. Now,
Speaker 2: Patel served under the first Trump administration and both intelligence
Speaker 2: and defense roles, along with National Security Advisor Josh Bolton.
Speaker 2: Remember Josh Bolton. Well, now the Republican is comparing the
Speaker 2: nomination of Patel to Joseph Stalin's secret police chief. He's
Speaker 2: urging the Senate to deny the confirmation. And international students
Speaker 2: at Harvard University are blindsided on housing arrangements this winter breaks.
Speaker 2: Jay Willette reports.
Speaker 3: School officials deny those students here on financial aid packages
Speaker 3: on campus housing, in a break with tradition. The sudden
Speaker 3: decision leaves them all scrambling to put a roof over
Speaker 3: their heads during the upcoming winter break. Close to three
Speaker 3: hundred have signed a petition calling on the housing office
Speaker 3: for a do over this semester. Man They say they
Speaker 3: need shelter during break because they simply cannot afford a
Speaker 3: travel home for the holidays. Jay Willette WBZ Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2: So we have a statement from Harvard University and it says,
Speaker 2: while it's our expectation that students will not be in
Speaker 2: residence over the winter recess, we do understand that some
Speaker 2: students may need to stay on campus, but only those
Speaker 2: who meet the eligibility requirements will be approved. But we're
Speaker 2: willing to discuss any challenges. The end of the Stewart
Speaker 2: Healthcare saga continues in Massachusetts. At a ceremony last month,
Speaker 2: Rhode Island's biggest healthcare system took over Saint Anne's Hospital
Speaker 2: in Fall River along with Morton Hospital, taunted. The official
Speaker 2: handoff to Brown Health ushers in the arrival of a
Speaker 2: new player to the state's hospital sector, bringing in the
Speaker 2: financial stability of new operators. Brown University Health CEO John
Speaker 2: Fernandez says their medical facilities follow a patient centered vision,
Speaker 2: and between the holiday shopping and the freezing tempts, let's
Speaker 2: get a handle on that stress. Well, snow is coming. Snow.
Speaker 2: I said the four letter word snow. This is not
Speaker 2: a snow storm. This is baby step snow. But for today,
Speaker 2: tonight and tomorrow, very clear, very cold, our hoh today

Speaker 2: Wednesday afternoon with some light accumulation north and west of Boston.
Speaker 2: Thursday windy with a snow shower or two, especially on
Speaker 2: the south coast of the Cape and the Island. So
Speaker 2: everybody gets a little dusting.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: For some people that puts them in some good holiday cheer.
Speaker 2: For others, maybe it stresses you out. And for some
Speaker 2: of you, the holidays is a battle with stress.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the most wonderful time of the year, unless you know,
Speaker 4: it's not.
Speaker 5: Take a cake, Take a cake, doumble hate los entirely.
Speaker 4: But it's not just the Grinch not getting down with
Speaker 4: the holidays. Survey says nine to ten US adults feel
Speaker 4: at least some stress this time of year. It gets
Speaker 4: dark early, the calendar is all booked up in crazy
Speaker 4: family work parties, and of course there's that pressure to
Speaker 4: buy gifts. Some advice from doctor Juhu Smalls Monte.
Speaker 5: You might want to consider doing all decret Santa, where
Speaker 5: one person in your group gets a gift from one
Speaker 5: other person, so you're not on the hook for buying
Speaker 5: a gift for maybe five, ten, fifteen people.
Speaker 4: And don't forget it doesn't always need to be expensive
Speaker 4: to be great. Sometimes a gift from the heart is

Speaker 2: So how do we manage that stress deep breaths?
Speaker 6: According to a study published recently in the journal Nature Neuroscience,
Speaker 6: the pathway regulates voluntary breathing, which lets people manually slow
Speaker 6: their breathing and calm their minds. The author of the
Speaker 6: study says it someday there could possibly be a new
Speaker 6: drug that would emulate the relaxed state that people experienced
Speaker 6: during yoga or meditation.
Speaker 2: A Marknyfield All right, now onto something a little bit
Speaker 2: stressful if you ride the Tea, in particular the Red Line.
Speaker 2: They just found a new crack, a crack in the
Speaker 2: rail near Quincy Center, and right now they're taking folks
Speaker 2: by shuttle busses between North Quincy and Braintree stations. Cruise
Speaker 2: are unseene and they've been doing track inspections. And again
