00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, six o'clock in Boston, waking up under partly

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 2>cloudy skies and another ridiculous sixty five degrees as we

4
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 2>could go in this Thursday morning, and the News at

5
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 2>six is brought to us by You're a New England

6
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Welcome aboard.

7
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm Jeff Brown. As November turns a little dangerous.

8
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Gusty wins an excessively dry weather rule result in a

9
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 3>high fire throat for the next three days.

10
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.560
<v Speaker 2>As WBZ AKI weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. But the weather

11
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 2>couldn't be nicer. We'll see temperatures right around seventy once

12
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 2>again today. Well, despite a furious comeback, the Celtics simply

13
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>can't catch up. They lose to Golden State at the Garden.

14
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>It's just the team's second loss this year. Ruins will

15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>host Calgary tonight on Causeway Street, and Week ten in

16
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.759
<v Speaker 2>the NFL gets underway tonight. The Bengals visit the Baltimore Ravens.

17
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Just hours after declaring victory for a second term in

18
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 2>the White House, President elect Donald Trump begins work on

19
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:10.120
<v Speaker 2>his transition with discussions with other world leaders, Israeli Prime

20
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Minister Benjamin Ettanyah, who says he was among the first

21
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>to contact the soon to be forty seventh president of

22
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 2>the United States to congratulate him on a stunning political comeback.

23
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Mister Trump also speaks with Canadian and leaders and South

24
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Korean leaders. Discussions are already underway on a transition team.

25
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 2>The new administration will take full advantage of the seventy

26
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>five days between election day and inauguration day in January

27
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>to set up a cabinet and other policy agendas. A

28
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.640
<v Speaker 2>President Biden has already spoken to his predecessor and successor

29
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>and has invited Donald Trump to the White House. It

30
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>is not clear if the President elect will take him

31
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 2>up on the offer. As Democrats in DC begin to

32
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>claw their eyes out after getting clabbered on election night,

33
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 2>the President, who will address the nation from the Rose

34
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Garden later this morning.

35
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 3>In a statement, President Biden says of Kamala Harris quote,

36
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 3>she will contino to be a leader our children will

37
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 3>look up to for generations to come, as she puts

38
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 3>her stamp on America's future. He'll speak from the White

39
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.840
<v Speaker 3>House at eleven am Eastern, his first appearance on camera

40
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 3>since Harris was defeated by Donald.

41
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Trump's CBS's Matt Piper. The President is expected to call

42
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 2>on unity during the transition and beyond. Special Counsel Jack

43
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Smith begins to discuss how to wind down active prosecutions

44
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>of Donald Trump, in keeping with Justice Department policy not

45
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>to prosecute sitting presidents. Smith is in charge of two investigations,

46
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the classified Documents case in Florida and claims Trump attempted

47
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 2>to overturn twenty twenty's election results. The President elect has

48
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 2>vowed to fire Smith immediately upon taking office. In a

49
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 2>stunning fall, Germany's coalition government collapses with the termination of

50
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>the country's finance minister. Chancellor Olaff Schultz also calls for

51
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 2>a confidence vote that many insiders say is sure to fail.

52
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>It's a run up to early elections next spring. This

53
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 2>is the second May Your shock to a foreign government

54
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>system this week, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natnyahuo fired

55
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 2>his defense minister for working against him in the Middle

56
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>East War, and the Pride of the Berkshires is about

57
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 2>to meet the chainsaw.

58
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 4>Today, a seventy four foot tall Norway spruce tree comes

59
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 4>down in West Stockbridge to be sent over to Rockefeller Center.

60
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 4>It's the first time since nineteen fifty nine that Massachusetts

61
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 4>has been NYC's plug for the Christmas Tree, slated for

62
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.439
<v Speaker 4>a Saturday arrival. Later on, they'll spruce it up with

63
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 4>some fifty thousand string lights and come Wednesday, December fourth,

64
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 4>they'll light that sucker up. That's all kicking off with

65
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 4>singer Kelly Clarkson hosting Jay Willett WBZ, Boston's news radio.

66
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful stretch of weather is going to continue, at least

67
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 2>for the next couple of days. In fact, today, once

68
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 2>again we're going to get into the lower seventies, plenty

69
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 2>of sunshine, continued breezy as well, and that is at

70
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 2>least part of the reason why the brush fire risk

71
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>will be elevated over the next several days. Of course,

72
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>the other reason is that we simply haven't had any rain.

73
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>We're looking at the potential for some rain in the

74
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>long range forecast. We'll get to that in the second

75
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 2>but in the meantime, again a mix of sun and clouds.

76
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Low seventies again today, clear and cooler overnight tonight. We'll

77
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>drop into the forties now. Tomorrow we start to begin

78
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 2>a cool off period. We'll see temperatures in the lower

79
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 2>sixties tomorrow and through the weekend. We really won't get

80
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>out of the fifties, although it will be mainly dry

81
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 2>and mainly sunny for the first half of the weekend.

82
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 2>We are expecting clouds on the increase on Sunday, with

83
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>the potential for some rain moving into the area on

84
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Veterans Day on Monday. It may not be much, but

85
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 2>every little bit helps in a situation like this. The

86
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 2>US Drought Monitor will update the situation here in Massachusetts

87
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 2>and around the country later on this morning. We'll keep

88
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 2>you posted right now in Boston under partly cloudy skies,

89
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>it is sixty five degrees here on November seventh. Good morning,

90
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 2>it is six oh six. It is almost sunrise, but

91
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 2>it will be dark in about ten and a half hours.

92
00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>It's no wonder many of us are depressed.

93
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 5>That sun light is exactly what people prone to seasonal

94
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 5>disorders need, and many have serious trouble getting through the

95
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 5>dark days. Seasonal effective disorder is a type of depression

96
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 5>that begins in the fall and gets better in the

97
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 5>springer summer, doctor suggests, beginning in the morning, sit near

98
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.040
<v Speaker 5>a device that puts out light about twenty times brighter

99
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 5>than regular light. Therapy is helpful for some. Other recommendations

100
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 5>include walking outside and sticking to a regular sleep schedule.

101
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 5>Allison Keys CBS.

102
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.720
<v Speaker 2>News forecasters say twenty twenty four is on track to

103
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>be the hottest on record all around the world. Scientists

104
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>in Europe say it looks like the planet will be

105
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 2>warmer than the two point seven degree fahrenheit benchmark set

106
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 2>in the Paris Climate Accords, and this will be the

107
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 2>first time that's ever happened. A record this year would

108
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 2>eclipse the previous record set just last year. Official say

109
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 2>warming from greenhouse gas emissions increases sea level rise and

110
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>makes extreme weather events even more extreme. Safety on Boston

111
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.160
<v Speaker 2>area streets is easier said than done. The BU Bridge

112
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Safety Alliance says more can be done to make this

113
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 2>corridor safer for those on two wheels and for those

114
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>on two feet. Now, these two BU students say there

115
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 2>have been some close calls.

116
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 6>Kids they are like trying to cross, like even while

117
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 6>it's still like, how doesn't I show the walk sign,

118
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:22.399
<v Speaker 6>They're like trying to get across and cars just like,

119
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:23.279
<v Speaker 6>don't obey that.

120
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 3>And or I would say sometimes if the walk sign

121
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 3>just closed, people sold cross and then the cars don't

122
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 3>really care that they're crossing.

123
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Members of the Safety Alliance are hosting a hybrid meeting

124
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 1>next Thursday night, inviting everyone to join and give input

125
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 1>from bicyclists and pedestrians to officials with DCR and mass

126
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 1>dot on the bu Bridge James Rojas, WBZ Boston'snoos Radio.

127
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 2>That's the spirit. You gotta get that blood flowing. We

128
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 2>have another reason to get out and exercise this morning.

129
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Wbz's Drew mo'holland, an expert on that is here to

130
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>tell us more.

131
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 6>I did not get my morning run in today. Bad

132
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 6>job by me. But size could lower your blood pressure, Jeffrey,

133
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.959
<v Speaker 6>And guess what. Nearly half of American adults they have

134
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 6>high blood pressure. A study published by the journal Circulation

135
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.720
<v Speaker 6>found the benefit comes from raising your heart rate, whether

136
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 6>it's from running, cycling, climbing stairs. So many of us

137
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.759
<v Speaker 6>feel that this is something we want to do right.

138
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:17.519
<v Speaker 6>We want to get out there, work out, We want

139
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 6>to get fit and feel better. But maybe you say,

140
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.360
<v Speaker 6>who has the time, Who has the time. See, I

141
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 6>know it's tough, but this study found that even five

142
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 6>minutes of exercise, Jeff hugely beneficial.

143
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:28.399
<v Speaker 2>I think I can find five minutes.

144
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 6>Let's all go five minutes.

145
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 2>It's five minutes. I'll never get back, but I'll find it.

146
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 2>Let's go. You are now in the loop. For news

147
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.879
<v Speaker 2>updates throughout the day, listen to WBZ News Radio on
