00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Let's

2
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>do this at six o'clock on this Thursday morning. It

3
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>is a very mild fifty five degrees and some leftover

4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>rain drops as we head out the door this morning.

5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 1>The News at six is brought to us by your

6
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>new England Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters.

7
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jeff Brown, and what a night, mostly Clotdie's.

8
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Today.

9
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>It'll be breezy and mild, with a couple of showers

10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>around throughout the day. The high fifteen. It'll be closer

11
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.039
<v Speaker 1>to fifty at the Cape at the Island with wz

12
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 1>achi weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Heavy rain overnight finally tapers off.

13
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be windy. Sun is expected to return,

14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>but colder air moves in Tomorrow. A record setting night

15
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 1>at the Garden as the Celtics trample the Trailblazers, they'll

16
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 1>go back to back against the Sixers tonight. Bruins visit

17
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the Carolina Hurricanes later tonight, and Red Sox, Blue Jays

18
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and spring training baseball. This afternoon. Opening day is three

19
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>weeks from today. Guys. It's a rap race in more

20
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>ways than one. Wbz's Drew Mulholland tells us it ain't

21
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>easy kind of keep up these days, so there.

22
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.799
<v Speaker 3>Is a great divide, Jeffrey. In the classroom, boys and

23
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 3>men in Massachusetts cannot keep up with females. A new

24
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 3>report finds fourth grade boys are behind girls in class,

25
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 3>specifically in reading, and it doesn't get any better through

26
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 3>at least middle school. Even older men can't stand up

27
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 3>to women. The study from Boston Indicators finds women's life

28
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 3>expendency is eighty three, leaving men five years in the dust.

29
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Men and boys of color impacted the most. Jeffrey, well,

30
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 3>that's great news. Thank you, Andrew.

31
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, thanks for stopping by the Broadway Hit Hamilton takes a.

32
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Bow Alexander Hamilton.

33
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 4>Hamilton has canceled shows at the Kennedy Center plan for

34
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 4>next year to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary

35
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 4>of the Declaration of Independence. The lead producer cites concerns

36
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 4>about President Trump's takeover of the ved you and partisan policies.

37
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 4>Last month, the Center's new board of trustees voted to

38
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 4>install mister Trump as chairman of the board, and OUIs

39
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.599
<v Speaker 4>longtime president Deborah Rutter in favor of a trump ally,

40
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 4>several artists have now canceled scheduled performances at the Kennedy Center.

<v Speaker 4>Deborah Rodriguez, CBS News.

42
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 1>Pape Prancis seems to be responding relatively well to treatment

43
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 1>of double pneumonia as of late. Another RESTful night is

44
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>followed by some light work and periods of sitting in

45
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 1>a chair in his private hospital room at Jemelli Hospital

46
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 1>in Rome. The pope has been in the hospital for

47
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>almost a month. Doctor say the eighty eight year old

48
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>remains in stable condition in relatively good spirits, but is

49
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>not out of the woods yet. His prognosis remains guarded.

50
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.879
<v Speaker 1>New study this morning warrens Parkinson's disease will become much

51
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>more prevalent. The Parkinson's Foundation estimates there are ten million

52
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 1>people worldwide with the progressive neurological disorder. This new study,

53
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 1>published by the medical journal the BMJ, says by twenty

54
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 1>fifty there will be twenty five million peace people with

55
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 1>the disease, due largely to the world's population aging. The

56
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>average age of onset for Parkinson's disease is between sixty

57
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and seventy years old, but some early onset cases can

58
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 1>begin at age twenty. It is more common in men

59
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 1>than in women. Michael Wallace, CBS News, What a wild

60
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 1>night for most of us, with some very heavy rain

61
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and some high winds. Most of the system is now

62
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 1>pulled offshore, although some heavy rain still persists over the

63
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Cape and islands. This morning, there's another batch of showers

64
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>moving through Western Mass. But this has been quite a

65
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 1>night and it's finally moving on. And because of the

66
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 1>impact of this storm up and down the East coast,

67
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>there are a couple of dozen delays on the boarded

68
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Logan Airport this morning. And because of the wind and

69
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the rain combination, about fifteen hundred power outages reported by

70
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>FEMA or MIMA, I should say as of this morning.

71
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise for the rest of the day we might see

72
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple of leftover showers. Is going to be a

73
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 1>mostly cloudy and breezy day today. High temperatures are going

74
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 1>to get very close to sixty degrees. In fact, right

75
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>now it's fifty five here in Boston, way above the

76
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 1>normal temperatures for this time time of year. That's going

77
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>to change in a flash overnight tonight. It's going to

78
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 1>get sharply colder as a cold front moves in. Very

79
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>windy conditions move in tomorrow, but it's a return of sunshine.

80
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 1>High temperatures will only be in the lower forties, but

81
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>there will be a wind chill factor as well. It

82
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 1>continues to be rather nice over the weekend, but still

83
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>a bit breezy and a bit colder, with highs only

84
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>around forty degrees on Saturday, and pretty much the same

85
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>story for Sunday as well, maybe a little bit lighter

86
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>breezes by then. Right now in Boston it's fifty five, clouds,

87
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>showers and otherwise damp. Here in Boston on this Thursday morning,

88
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>it is six so five. Not one to shy away

89
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>from a fight.

90
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 5>Let's talk about Tom Homan. Shame on him for lying

91
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 5>about my city, for having the nerve to insult our

92
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.120
<v Speaker 5>police commissioner, who has overseen the safest Boston's been in

93
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.240
<v Speaker 5>anyone's lifetime. Bring him here under oath and let's ask

94
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 5>him some questions.

95
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Boston Mayor Michelle Wou stands up to hours of Congressional

96
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 1>heat in the nation's capital.

97
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 6>Seated beside the mayors of New York City, Denver. In Chicago,

98
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 6>Mayor Michelle wo opened her testimony by noting crime is

99
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 6>down in Boston and she's the daughter of immigrants.

100
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 5>A city that's scared is not a city that's safe.

101
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 6>Mayor ru was questioned by Congressman Paul Gozar of Arizona

102
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.360
<v Speaker 6>over which laws take precedent federal or local. She used

103
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 6>that as an opportunity to advocate for what she'd like

104
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 6>to see come out of Congress.

105
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.959
<v Speaker 5>Stop cutting medicaid, stop cutting cancer research, stop cutting funds

106
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 5>for veterans. That is what will make our city safe.

<v Speaker 6>Brooke McCarthy WBZ, Boston's news radio.

108
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Meantime, the President is said to be getting increasingly frustrated

109
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>with the small number of immigrant deportations since his first

110
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>day in office. Survey says most people in New York

111
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>City want Mayor Eric Adams to step down. The latest

112
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>poll from Quinnipiac University shows his approval rating stands at

113
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 1>just twenty percent. That is the lowest that the Quinnipiac

114
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>poll has ever seen in it's thirty years of tracking

115
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>these things. More than half say he should resign after

116
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.639
<v Speaker 1>being accused on federal fraud charges and an attempt by

117
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration to disc miss those charges. The mayoral race,

118
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>by the way, is on in New York City, and

119
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the newest survey shows former Governor Andrew Cuomo with a

120
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 1>wide lead over several others. Texas Congressman Al Green faces

121
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 1>censure by Republicans in the House of Representatives this following

122
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>his outburst during President Trump's address to a joint session

123
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>of Congress this week. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson

124
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.639
<v Speaker 1>had him removed from the Chamber of vote on censure

125
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>is expected today. Also, Freshman Congressman Sylvester Turner of Texas

126
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>has died hours after attending the address. Turner's family says

127
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the former mayor of Houston was taken to the hospital

128
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 1>during the speech and later died at home. Sylvester Turner

129

<v Speaker 1>move from Rhode Island to Boston. It's still up in

131
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.959

135
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 2>longtime rival Mattel CEO Cox says has broken off for

136
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 2>something few others have.
