00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>The town of Wilmington is honoring the life and the

6
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>legacy of one of their own today, MIT police officer

7
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 1>in Wilmington, native Shann Coulier, was killed in the line

8
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of duty after the twenty thirteen Boston Marathon bombings. He

9
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>was shot on campus by the Zarnaia brothers, who were

10
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>found responsible for the bombings, and died shortly after. Wilmington

11
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 1>remembers the fallen officer every January third, on Shawn Collier Day,

12
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 1>which is also his birthday. He would have been thirty

13
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>eight today, and the community is invited to come out

14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>to pay tribute at the San Collier Memorial Park in

15
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Rotary Park at two thirty this afternoon. In Wilmington, President

16
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Biden is headed to New Orleans. The White House says

17
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>he will travel there on Monday with the First Lady

18
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 1>to grieve with those impacted by the New Year's terror

19
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>attack in the French Quarter. Meanwhile, the investigation goes on.

20
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>The FBI says Texas native and US Army veteran shamsu

21
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Din Jabbar acted alone when he drove a truck onto

22
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>a crowd on Bourbon Street New Year's morning, killing more

23
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>than a dozen revelers and injuring dozens more. Officials say

24
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Jabbar planted explosives in ice coolers in two locales a

25
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>few hours before the attack. Let's get more from ABC's

26
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Jim Ryan.

27
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 2>The men who sped down Bourbon Street in a pickup truck,

28
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>killing fourteen people were shot dead by police seconds later.

29
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>But the FBI's Christopher Rayes says too many questions about

30
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 2>shimsu Din Jabbar are left unanswered. To that end, we

31
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 2>have received just over four hundred tips from the public,

32
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>and that information is being followed up both here in

33
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans across the country. Reyes says that on his

34
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 2>drive from Houston, Jabbar posted several videos declaring his support

35
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 2>for ISIS. Jim Riyan ABC News New Orleans, the.

<v Speaker 1>New Congress is about to convene on Capitol Hill in

37
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>just about an hour. They're preparing to elect a House speaker.

38
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 1>EBC Stephen port Noy says this is going to be

39
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 1>a tough task for incumbent Speaker Mike Johnson to keep

40
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>his job.

41
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Two years ago, it took the House fifteen rounds over

42
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 3>four days to elect Kevin McCarthy speaker, and when he

43
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 3>was ousted, the body went without a leader for three weeks.

44
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Mike Johnson emerged from that chaos, but to maintain the gavel,

45
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 3>he needs to keep practically every member of the GOP

46
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 3>conference in line behind him. South Carolina Republican Ralph Norman

47
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 3>said yesterday he was still undecided.

48
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Look the vital Tyke place. You'll see how it comes out.

<v Speaker 3>Stephen port Noy, ABC News Washington.

50
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 1>We'll have more as it happens, both here and streaming

51
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 1>on the iHeartRadio app. Beautiful sunshine out there, just a

52
00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 1>few snowflourries, very breezy, win gus to thirty five miles

53
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>per hour today, high thirty nine tempts really in the

54
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 1>real feel in the low twenties. That's during the daytime,

55
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 1>So imagine tonight when the real temp is twenty seven.

56
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Starlet though, and then a weekend of clarity sun and

57
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>clouds by day and by night. But we'll barely get

58
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>above freezing by daytime. So imagine this weekend, it's going

59
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>to be very frigid at night. Let's warm it up.

60
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Embracing the hopes of the new year means burning away

61
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>the baggage from the past. One bebldebs's Jim McKay tells

64
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 4>about to hold their annual ceremony of the International Rerouters Society,

65
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 4>where people gather along a beach in Province down and

66
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 4>watch a Christmas tree burn along the shoreline as a

67
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 4>symbol of burning away all the bad stuff from the

68
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 4>previous year and welcoming in the new year. A large

69
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 4>tree will be taken to the beach along Commercial Street

70
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 4>and people are invited to bring old letters, photos and

71
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 4>other small items they can attach to the tree and

72
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 4>watch it burn up and the new Year's Inferno, a

73
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 4>tradition that goes back forty two years. This year's is

74
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 4>taking places upcoming Tuesday night. Jim MCKAWBZ Boston's News Radio.

75
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>A surgeon General, doctor vimcmurphy is calling for stronger warning

76
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 1>labels on alcohol. ABC. Stephen Portnoy reports.

77
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 3>The current government warning label on alcoholic beverages hasn't changed

78
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 3>since nineteen eighty eight. It warns of the risk of

79
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 3>birth defects if pregnant women consume alcohol, and says consumption

80
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 3>impairs one's ability to drive and operate machinery. The message

81
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 3>also vaguely warns of health problems, but the Surgeon General

82
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 3>now says the label should explicitly call alcohol use a

83
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 3>cause of cancer, similar to the warnings on packs of cigarettes.

84
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 1>And the Surgeon General points out that alcohol is the

85
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>third leading preventable cause of cancer in this nation, after

86
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 1>tobacco and obesity. Now it's a go for stop. The

87
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>bill to stop drivers in Massachusetts from illegally zooming pass

88
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 1>stop school buses. Legislation is on the way to Governor

89
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Moore Healey's desk and it could be signed within days.

90
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>And this potential new law will legalize the use of

91
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>cameras on the outside of school buses to penalize drivers

92
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 1>who illegally pass those buses when the arm is out

93
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and students are being picked up or dropped off. Now

94
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>there is some agency here. Every school district will get

95
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 1>to vote on whether they want them or not, and

96
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>they'll have to pick up the tab for the cameras. Now,

97
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.519
<v Speaker 1>it was a Peaboty mother who helped renew interest in

98
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 1>this decade's old proposal went way back after her mother

99
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 1>and her young children were struck and seriously injured walking

100
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>to school in twenty twenty two. So Peaboty launched a

101
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>pilot program using those school bus cameras and it really worked.

102
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>And again Peebety this mom making the push on Beacon

110
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 5>first and the last to honor his memory on this
