<v Speaker 3>Security at the Vatican will be tight as a drum

24
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 3>this weekend for tomorrow's funeral for Pope Francis. President Trump

25
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 3>and the First Lady will join dozens of other heads

26
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 3>of state and royalty representing in Saint Peter's Basilica. Back home,

27
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 3>nothing appears to be sacred for the future of the

28
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 3>Catholic Church. Bookmakers are already taking bets on one of

29
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 3>the hottest things going, who will be the next Pope.

30
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 3>According to a recent report, gamblers are ready to place

31
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 3>bets and it's one of the top thirty most active

32
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 3>betting markets so far this year. The College of Cardinals

33
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 3>will enter conclave early next month in the Sistine Chapel

34
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 3>to begin voting. It started as a joke, Should I

35
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 3>run again? You tell me, It's now become mainstream. The

36
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Trump Store begins teasing a third term for President Trump

37
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>by selling new Trump twenty twenty eight hats. Almost since

38
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 3>day one of his second term, the President has been

39
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 3>hitting in third and as time goes by, it seems

40
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 3>to be more than just to tease. The President says

41
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 3>there are ways to get around constitutional term limits, but

42
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 3>also says it's way too early to start thinking or

43
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 3>talking about that. Wanted artists, The Trump administration is calling

44
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 3>on sculptors to come up with ideas for the Garden

45
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 3>of American Heroes that a honor America's two hundred and

46
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 3>fiftieth anniversary celebration. Winning bids come with a two hundred

47
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars federal grant with money from the National Endowment

48
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 3>for the Humanities. The White House is interested in sculptures

49
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 3>of traditional and non traditional heroes, and is not interested

50
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 3>in abstract or modernist designs. Younger Americans' money dances like

51
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 3>sugar plums in their heads. Wbz's Drew mo'holland is here

52
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 3>to explain this one. What's going on, Good Morning, Jeffrey.

53
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 5>Some of America's younger generations say they are in a

54
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 5>good place financially when compared to their parents and older generations.

55
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 5>Recent pull from NBC News finds more than a quarter

56
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 5>of the eighteen to twenty nine year old crowd those

57
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 5>are the kids, apparently, that's what we're saying. Eighteen to

58
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 5>twenty nine say their money is on more solid ground

59
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 5>this year compared to one year ago. But the older

60
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker 5>you get, the less confident Americans feel about their balance

61
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 5>sheets over all, though a majority in all age groups

62
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 5>say their personal financial situation is worse today than this

63
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:16.159
<v Speaker 5>time last year.

64
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 3>So what you're telling me is their confidence. But then again,

65
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 3>maybe not all that confidence. Yes, I guess that's good

66
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 3>to know. Back to you, it looks like another relatively

67
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 3>nice day and greater Boston today. We are starting under

68
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 3>cloudy skies, though in fifty six degrees. We will see

69
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.120
<v Speaker 3>some sunshine along the way today. Temperatures are going to

70
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 3>be a little bit warmer in inland locations because we

71
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 3>do have a sea breeze coming at us. Along the

72
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 3>shoreline and especially the north shore, will struggle to stay

73
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 3>warm a little bit later today, as temperatures will stall

74
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 3>out in the sixties there, but will be around seventy

75
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 3>of the rest of the shore and into the mid

76
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 3>seventies in inland location. Some areas might get as warm

77
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 3>as eighty degrees this afternoon. This weekend not so fortunate.

78
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 3>The timing is simply terrible, and even with expecting rain tomorrow,

79
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 3>it looks like the timing has been moved up a

80
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.319
<v Speaker 3>little bit. The rain will arrive, it looks like sometime

81
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 3>tomorrow morning and continue throughout much of the day, although

82
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 3>later in the day it might tape her off. And

83
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 3>then on Sunday, it looks like we're going to start

84
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 3>to see some sunshine back in the picture, but cooler

85
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.759
<v Speaker 3>temperatures eyes only in the upper fifties to low sixties.

86
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Big warm up in the cards for next week. We're

87
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 3>talking temperatures in the eighty degree range. Right now, it's

88
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 3>cloudy skies in fifty six here in Boston on this

89
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 3>Friday morning, it is six oh six. If a tree

90
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 3>falls in the forest today, many people will hear it.

91
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 3>What better way to celebrate Arbor Day than to be

92
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 3>among the trees and nature. That's what Deanna and her

93
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 3>friends are doing.

94
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 6>It's awesome out here. You can hear the birds, the owls,

95
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:48.720
<v Speaker 6>You see the deer running around, sometimes a fox. It's

96
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 6>a fun time out here connecting with nature.

97
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Admittedly, she was not aware it was a holiday, but

98
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that's okay. She's still a fan.

99
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 6>The pines are beautiful. There's some birch trees along the

100
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 6>way out here in the reservation.

101
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I'm Mercy from California, so I'm biased the

102
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>to a palm tree, not that many over here.

103
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 6>I'm Actually, I grew Upinstathern, California, so yeah, I know

104
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:08.800
<v Speaker 6>you won't see palm trees here.

105
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 1>For those who are aware of the day, a lot

106
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>of events are planned all around, with folks rolling up

107
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.040

109
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 3>I'll ever hear this in the middle of the night

110
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 3>often sends chills up a spine. Many people say it

111
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 3>sounds like a screaming child, but it's a fisher cat

112
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 3>and they're being saved. On the South Shore this week.

113
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 4>In Cohacid, construction crews found baby fishers inside of a

114
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 4>tree I was about to be processed by a machine

115
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 4>to come down. Cohasset Natural Resource officers were called in

116
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 4>to help, and they did. They arrived and brought the

117
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 4>fisher babies deep into the woods so they could hopefully

118
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 4>make their way back to their mother. For years, there

119
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 4>weren't many sightings of fishers south of Boston, but they've

120
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 4>been spotted on trail cams in recent years. While commonly

121
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 4>referred to as fisher cats, their DNA what's them in

122
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 4>the same family as weasels? They are nocturnal, sometimes spotted

123
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.120
<v Speaker 4>during the day in the spring as it's their breeding season.

<v Speaker 3>Several airline executives are warning of turbulence ahead as business

126
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 3>starts to slow down.

127

128

133

<v Speaker 2>That's the same from Alaska Air CEO Ben Manucci. I

134
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 2>think we're.

135
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.879
<v Speaker 3>Seeing what everyone else is seeing on the domestic leisure front,

136
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 3>is a softening of domestic leisure demand.
