00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news sixty

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>eight degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon, I'm

3
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. We are following some developing

4
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>news when it comes to the death of Liam Payne.

5
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Authorities in Argentina have announced that three people have been

6
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>arrested and charged in connection with his death. A former

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 1>One Direction Of band member died last month after falling

8
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.879
<v Speaker 1>from a third floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires.

9
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>The suspects have not been named, but they are being

10
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 1>charged with abandonment of a person followed by death, and

11
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.399
<v Speaker 1>supply and facilitation of narcotics. Officials did say, however, one

12
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>suspect is a person that accompanied the artist on a

13
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 1>daily basis during his stay in the city, the second

14
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>a hotel employee. The third is an alleged drug supplier.

15
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Liam Payne was thirty one years old. The Federal Reserve

16
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>cutting its key interest rate by a quarter point, coming

17
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.039
<v Speaker 1>after a steady decline in the once high inflation that

18
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>fueled the President elect Donald Trump's victory. FED chair Roan

19
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Powell says the economy is strong overall and has progressed

20
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 1>towards their goals. Powell was asked whether the incoming administration

21
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:13.400
<v Speaker 1>could change things in.

22
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 2>The near term. The election will have no effects on

23
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>our policy decisions. As you know, many many things affect

24
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the economy, and anyone who writes down forecasts in their

25
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>job will tell you that the economy is quite difficult

26
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the forecast looking out past the very near term.

27
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>The Fed cut interest rates by half a point in

28
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>September to fight inflation, which is inching closer to the

29
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>target of two percent. With his presidency winding down, the

30
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 1>man who he beat four years ago about to retake

31
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 1>that job. President Biden, speaking today the President and a

32
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Rose Garden address, spoke of feelings of both sides in

33
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 1>the election of Donald Trump.

34
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 3>I know for some people it's a time for victory

35
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 3>to state the obvious.

36
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 4>For others, it's.

37
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 3>A time of loss. Campaigns, your contest of competing visions.

38
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.280
<v Speaker 3>The country chooses one or the other. We accept the

39
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 3>choice a country maid.

40
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 1>President Biden says he's focused on the respecting of the

41
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>peaceful transfer of power and says he spoke to Vice

42
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>President Harrison thanked her for running a great campaign. President

43
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>elect Trump is putting together a transition team, but ABC

44
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Portenoy tells us the transition to the next administration

45
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>has to go through protocol.

46
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 5>The last check, the President elect had still not signed

47
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 5>papers that would grant his transition team access to federal

48
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 5>office space, technology resources, and background checks.

49
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 1>The clock is kicking and it's really important.

50
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 5>Max Steyer of the Partnership for Public Service is an

51
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 5>expert on presidential transitions. He warns that, despite Trump's own experience,

52
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 5>his team might not be as prepared as the law permits.

53
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 5>If it declines the resources.

54
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 1>No one is ready to do it without any preparation.

55
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 5>Source to say, the Trump transition hopes to avoid limits

56
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 5>on donor contributions that would come with the access. Stephen

<v Speaker 5>port Noy, ABC News Washington HAP betrayals to you and

58
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 5>to everyone for that matter. The Haley administration is launched

59
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 5>an initiative called Trails for All. It will review the

60
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 5>current state of universally accessible trails in Massachusetts.

61
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Among the goals to promote inclusivity for those with disabling

62
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>conditions and other mobility considerations by implementing things like gentle grades,

63
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>stable surfaces, and inclusive signage. The initiative also will assess

64
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 1>the condition of accessible trails to ensure outdoor recreational activities

65
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 1>are available for those with disabilities and lower income residents,

66
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>as well as community of color. Appalachian Mountain Club Vice

67
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 1>president Heather Klisch says, universally accessible natural surface trails ensure

68
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 1>that everyone can connect with nature and each other. We've

69
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>got some sunshine around for the waning moments here before

70
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>sunset comes through, We'll have some clear skies Tonight. It's

71
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 1>going to get a little chilly, certainly in the suburbs.

72
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 1>We get back into the thirties, about forty five downtown overnight,

73
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 1>and then tomorrow plenty of sunshine, breezy, a bit cooler,

74
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>though temperatures in the low sixties. We don't have to

75
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>watch out with the fire risk around over the next

76
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>several days, we're going to stay dry, clear Tomorrow night,

77
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 1>temperatures around forty Saturday, mostly sunny, brisk and chili fifty

78
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 1>four will do it. And then on Sunday mid to

79
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.759
<v Speaker 1>upper fifties with some sunshine, followed by increasing clouds and

80
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 1>maybe a bit of rain getting in here on Sunday

81
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 1>night and into Monday. Right now, it is sixty eight

82
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>degrees in Boston. Well, we haven't seen much November rain

83
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>around these parts, and state officials say our drought conditions

84
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>are getting worse by the week, some of these east

85
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>to Cole Davis says the latest we.

86
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 6>Really haven't seen much in the way of substantial rain

87
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 6>around here since back in August. State Director of Water

88
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 6>Policy Vondana Rau says, since then we should have had

89
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 6>seven to nine more inches of rain than we have

90
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 6>and this has caused a rippling effect across water availability

91
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 6>boat in the atmosphere, on the groun, on the surface,

92
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 6>and with no significant rain on the horizon. Northeastern and

93
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.920
<v Speaker 6>Central Mass are now officially in a Level three critical drought.

94
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 6>Southeastern Mass except for the Capan Islands, in a level

95
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 6>two drought, so is all of Western Mass. Now is

96
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 6>the time, Rao says, to really double down on your

97
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 6>water conservation.

98
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 5>Any leaks you may have addressed them right away, take

99
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 5>short of showers, make sure your dishwasher and washing machines

100
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.240
<v Speaker 5>are used only on a full load.

101
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 6>And now, she says, is not the time to be

102
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 6>burning outside, as even one spark can cause a big

103
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:18.160
<v Speaker 6>brush fire. Nicole Davis WBZ Boston's news radio.

104
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Red flag warnings are in effect for tomorrow in Massachusetts, Connecticut,

105
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and Rhode Island. The election's over. Maybe you've got some

106
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 1>feelings you want to express. Couple of friends from Boston

107
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 1>are offering to listen to those who want to talk

108
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>about the divisive election. You's wztv's branded trud.

109
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 4>Within twenty four hours of the polls closing, both candidates

110
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 4>made a push toward unity.

111
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 5>But we must accept the results of this election.

112
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 3>It's time to put the divisions of the past four

113
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 3>years behind us.

114
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 1>It's time to unite.

115
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 4>But in a political climate this divisive.

116
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 7>How oh my friend actually came up with the wording,

117
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 7>but it just says, I want to talk about it.

118
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 4>Two men in Boston decided to do something with two

119
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 4>sets of chairs, some signs and open ears. They set

120
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 4>along the pond in Jamaica plane.

121
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 7>In the longest, it's probably twenty five minutes.

122
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 4>Where they sat and listened.

123
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 2>People have a chance if they're willing to reach out

124
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>and meet each other and connect.

125
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 7>It's been really powerful, and I think it's being said

126
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.560
<v Speaker 7>why we came out here is people are so disconnected nowadays.
