<v Speaker 2>Twenty six degrees.

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.839
<v Speaker 3>We've got clear skies in Boston, but man, we're feeling

4
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 3>like the teens at the moment on a frigid Friday

5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.120
<v Speaker 3>morning at six o'clock.

6
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.039

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm Jim McKay. It's Friday morning. Let's get to it.

10
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Here's what's happening.

11
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, certainly, it is very chilly as we get out

12
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.799
<v Speaker 3>the front door this morning. You're definitely gonna want to

13
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 3>bundle up because it's going to be cold over the

14
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 3>next few hours.

15
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 4>Twenty of sunshine today with highs not far from forty.

16
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 4>A rainy weekend is on the way, and that is

17
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 4>wbz ACU weather meteorologist Joe Loundberg. Eventually we will get

18
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 4>that sunshine and things will feel a bit more comfortable.

19
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.560
<v Speaker 4>The air is changing late tonight into tomorrow, and again

20
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.759
<v Speaker 4>we're in the forties and fifties outside of a few

21
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 4>rain drops. It's a pretty warm weekend driving around to

22
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.599
<v Speaker 4>England right now for a holiday return home conditions aren't

23
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 4>too bad, except from a little ice out there, because

24
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 4>it's certainly freezing elsewhere across the country, leaving town highly

25
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 4>problematic and could have an impact for those heading to

26
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 4>the skies.

27
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 1>In this most wonderful time of the year. Sometimes all

28
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you need to pack is a good attitude.

29
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Delays make great adventures.

30
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 5>It's a little bit crowdy, but I'll.

31
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Get through it. Nationwide, the TSA expects to screen nearly

32
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 1>forty million passengers from December nineteenth through January two, a

33
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>six percent increase from a year ago. Complicating things Thursday,

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>punishing weather in certain parts of the country. Airports in

35
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Dallas and Houston are seeing delays and cancelations as the

36
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>rain comes down. Bradley Blackburn, CBS News, New York.

37
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 3>And so far only just a few delays going on

38
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 3>over at Logan and there's no cancelations.

39
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 2>At six oh one.

40
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 3>There's a move underway at this Statehouse to crack down

41
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 3>on drivers who stop, park or operate a motor vehicle

42
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 3>and design to bus lanes.

43
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 6>Bus only lanes have sprouted up across Boston to speed

44
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 6>up travel time for commuters who ride t buses, but

45
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 6>passenger vehicles frustrate that goal when drivers operate cars and

46
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 6>SUVs in the bus only lanes, slowing the buses down. Now,

47
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 6>state lawmakers are considering legislations to install cameras on buses

48
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 6>to monitor traffic in the bus lanes and record the

49
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.599
<v Speaker 6>registration numbers of offending vehicles. Police could then follow up

50
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 6>it issued tickets, finding drivers twenty five to one hundred

51
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 6>and twenty five dollars for bus lane violations. The bill

52
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 6>to install the cameras and impose the fines has passed

53
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 6>the Senate, and, with just days left in the legislative year,

54
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 6>could get a House vote at the State House. Mike

<v Speaker 2>And also new reports.

64
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 3>This morning, some aviation experts saying Russian air defense fire

65
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.599
<v Speaker 3>was likely responsible for the crash of an Iserbaijani Airlines

66
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 3>flight that killed thirty eight people.

67
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 7>I spoke with Andrew Nicholson, who runs Osprey, a company

68
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 7>that advises carriers flying in the region. He pointed to

69
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 7>images of the plane's wreckage that appear to show what

70
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.919
<v Speaker 7>he says is damage consistent with surface to air fire.

71
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.319
<v Speaker 8>There are no stuffs or bumps or dents that would

72
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 8>also indicate you know, aft or birds hitting the aircraft fuselage,

73
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 8>and also the direction of the shrapnel which looks like

74
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 8>it's coming from below and towards the front.

<v Speaker 7>Kremlin saying it would be wrong to speculate before the

76
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 7>investigation is complete.

77
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 3>ABC's and as de la Katerra reporting, Yeah, it is

78
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 3>certainly frozen and out there, very cold morning. As we're

79
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 3>getting started. We are mid twenties in Boston, but feeling

80
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 3>like the teens and single digits in and around town

81
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 3>and north and west of Boston. Especially for later on

82
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 3>this afternoon, we'll have highs climbing up into the mid

83
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 3>to upper thirties with a good deal of sunshine, and

84
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 3>then we're off into the forties and fifties. This weekend,

85
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 3>where it should be really just a warm trend here

86
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 3>all the way into the new year in the middle

87
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.240
<v Speaker 3>of next week. It starts tomorrow, and we could see

88
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 3>some scattered showers both Saturday and Sunday. Some of that

89
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 3>in central and western mass by the way, could be

90
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 3>in the form of some scattered snow showers as well,

91
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 3>and may complicate things that are already frozen in the

92
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.720
<v Speaker 3>western part of the state. Outside of that, though, we're

93
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 3>at a warming trend here for Greater Boston all the

94
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 3>way through the middle of next week. At the moment

95
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 3>right now in Boston twenty six degrees and we're certainly

96
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 3>feeling colder than that at six oh six. A new

97
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 3>report from the World Weather Attribution and Climate Central saying

98
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 3>human cause climate change added an average of forty one

99
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 3>days of dangerous heat this year.

100
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 9>Twenty twenty four is expected to be the warmest on record,

101
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 9>which is why it should be no surprise that the

102
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 9>world experienced an average of forty one extra days of

103
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.720
<v Speaker 9>dangerous heat last year, made worse due to human cause

104
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 9>climate change. Scientists say that climate change intensified twenty six

105
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 9>major global weather events that killed more than thirty seven

106
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 9>hundred people and displaced millions around the globe. They warned

107
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.680
<v Speaker 9>that unless people speed up the transition away from fossil

108
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 9>fuels and provide finance to help adapt to climate change,

109

<v Speaker 3>And at six oh seven, a scene that is becoming

111
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 3>disturbingly familiar on south shore beaches. Another whale washes ashore

112
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 3>this week. This time it was at Wrexham Beach in Marshfield,

113
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 3>as maritime officials were receiving calls from people walking the

114
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 3>beach when they discovered the small whale carcass. It was

115
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 3>just a few weeks ago two other whales had washed ashore,

116
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 3>one on a beach in Plymouth and the other on

117

<v Speaker 3>a businessman and former radio host in Bangor stepping up

120
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 3>to save a legendary radio station owned by Stephen King,

124
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 3>continue to rock thanks to generous fan to other stations

<v Speaker 5>The presidents have been opened, the meal has been devoured,

129
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 5>but there's still a seven foot tree in my living room?

130
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 5>How long can I wait before taking it down? Once

131
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.720

132
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Christmas is over, I feel like into the new year,

133
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 2>it's fine. A week at the most, a week at

134
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 2>the most a week in the moment. What about the

135
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 2>Twelve Days of Christmas? What about them?

136
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 10>I'm Jewish, but for some people there is a religious

137
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 10>reason to leave it up, because the Twelve Days of

138
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.639
<v Speaker 10>Christmas only starts on the twenty fifth, lasting all the

139
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 10>way until the Feast of Epiphany, which is well into January.

140
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.879
<v Speaker 5>That being said, other people leave the tree up just

141
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:13.279
<v Speaker 5>to keep the good times rolling.

142
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 8>I mean, Christmas is a special season, and like, you know,

143
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 8>just having that up there till like into the new year,

144
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.199
