<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 2>A couple of flurries out there flying and a variation

3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 2>attempts from forty three to thirty two depending on where

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 2>you are. But a big storm is coming for all

5
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 2>of us this weekend. Good morning, everybody, eleven o'clock. I'm

6
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.039
<v Speaker 2>Laurie Kirby and Massachusetts getting ready right now for some

7
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:31.239
<v Speaker 2>serious snowfalls Saturday into Sunday.

8
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Snow will develop early Saturday night to continue into Sunday

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>morning before ending. Snow will accumulate four to weight inches

10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 1>across much of the area, with two to four inches

11
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>down towards the south coast the cape of the Islands

12
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>because of mixing.

13
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>And more from ACI Weather meteorologist Joe Lamberg Coming up.

14
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Attorney General Andrea Campbell is trying to ease fears over

15
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 2>President Trump's efforts to end birthright citizenship. She's now teamed

16
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 2>up was seventeen other attorneys general to try and stop

17
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 2>the move and federal court. Wdbz's James Rohast reports.

18
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Attorney General Andrea Campbell has a message to families who

19
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.799
<v Speaker 3>are concerned about the Trump Administration's effort to overturn birthright citizenship.

20
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 4>Do not be fearful, keep your hope. We said before

21
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 4>this president took office that we had tools in our

22
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 4>respective offices to fight back, including running to court, getting

23
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 4>a temporary restraining order, a pluminary injunction, whatever we needed

24
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 4>to stop this administration from harming our constituents.

25
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 3>When asked about how she feels of lawmakers who do

26
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 3>support the president's executive order.

27
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 4>Cheer hypocrisy, and I think it's their attempt to not

28
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 4>only attempt to undermine the Constitution and attempt to eradicate it,

29
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 4>to also distract our people from the issues that matter

30
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 4>the most.

31
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 3>On Beacon Hill. James Rojas w b Z BOSTON'SNOWS Radio.

32
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 2>Today's employment report is out. It's complicated to quote Bloomberg

33
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 2>Xandrew O'Day he'll be joining us in six minutes. It

34
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 2>shows the job market cooled in January. Here's ABC's Brian Clark.

35
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 5>Private sector added one hundred and forty three thousand jobs

36
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 5>in January, well below the one hundred seventy thousand that

37
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 5>were expected, and it's a significant drop off from last

38
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 5>month's blowout report that showed two hundred and fifty six

39
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 5>thousand jobs added. In December, the unemployment rate ticked down

40
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 5>a tenth of eight percentage point to four percent.

41
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>The report also shows the average hourly wages rose by

42
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>half a percent last month. And now looking at Bloomberg,

43
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 2>it's not looking good. We'll check that coming up. Also

44
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 2>going up today, that four River bridge, you love it,

45
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>you hate it. Architecturally it's beautiful, but you know it's

46
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 2>going to slow your ride about twenty minutes today when

47
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>that outbound vessel takes off through the river, and this

48
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 2>will impact your Route three a commute. And this is

49
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 2>on the Weymouth Quinsy line. That bridge, you know, very

50
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.879
<v Speaker 2>old fashioned, beautiful bridge, but it's a pain. Couple of

51
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>snow flurries out there. Kevin, we've been talking about the tee,

52
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>so I actually saw a little bit of rainfalling very brief.

53
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we're seeing some sunshine as well, but there's

54
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 2>just these little little pockets of precipitation. And it's forty

55
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>three in the cape, so anything that falls there is

56
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>going to be wet, not white. Tonight's going to be

57
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 2>very cold by this evening, real feels into the teens

58
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>pretty late. Tonight will be clear and then we cloud

59
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>out so Saturday is fine daytime. The timeline on this

60
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 2>major winter storm is seven pm Saturday night through four

61
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>pm Sunday, So that is the situation. And I'm seeing

62
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>a couple of models suggesting all of them suggest very

63
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>high amounts, but four to eight seems to be the

64
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>average range. I've seen some models here that suggest more

65
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 2>snow than that. So we're all going to have to

66
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>tune in over the weekend and again take us on

67
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 2>the go and stream us on the new iHeartRadio app

68
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 2>as well. But we'll be covering this throughout. So do

69
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 2>you have your snacks ready? Super Bowl Sunday of course,

70
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>and the ads, And then there's the security. New Orleans

71
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>is set to host the Super Bowl fifty nine at

72
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the Super Dome, and wbz's Drew Mamholland says security as

73
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 2>tight as can be.

74
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 6>Nilen's expects an extra one hundred thousand visitors this week

75
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 6>thanks to the Big Game, and it's all hands on

76
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 6>deck security wise. Former Boston Police Chief Bill Bratton's right

77
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 6>in the heart of the city.

78
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 7>As we'll go through large curses and begs, so even

79
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 7>to get into the area that you have to basically

80
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 7>expect that anything You're caring is going to be opened

81
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 7>and searched.

82
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 6>He tells me. The terrorist attack on New Year's Day,

83
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 6>where a man ran over and killed fourteen people on

84
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 6>Bourbon Street, has only added to the extra police presence,

85
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 6>But it would have been crazy tight security wise anyway.

86
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 6>Needless to say, the Big Easy is a hard wall

87
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 6>of security and it will be all the way through

88
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 6>Marty Grave, which is next Drew maholland WBZ Boston's news radio.

103
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Well this one's a little different. The president of Columbia

104
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 2>wants the world to legalize cocaine.

105
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 9>President Gustavo Petro says the cocaine industry could easily be

106
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 9>dismantled if the drug were legalized globally. He claimed scientists

107
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 9>have found cocaine as no worse than whiskey, but he

108
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.240
<v Speaker 9>says it it's illegal because it's made in Latin America.

109
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.879
<v Speaker 9>Patres says legalized cocaine would be sold like wine. Columbia

110
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 9>is the world's biggest cocaine producer and exporter. That production

111
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 9>rose to a record high twenty six hundred tons of

112
