00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, six o'clock with a full moon illuminating the

3
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>nighttime sky. We've got clear skies in thirty degrees here

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 1>in Boston. The News at six has brought to us

00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jeff Brown, and here we go again. Sunshine mixing

8
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>with clouds at a windy and colder the story after

9
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the evening snowshower. That is WBZ achi weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Cold, quiet,

10
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and mostly dry, though in the coming days. New this morning,

11
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 1>another round of talks is underway, and the potential cease

12
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:49.159
<v Speaker 1>fire agreement between Israel and Hamas appears to be imminent.

13
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 1>Negotiations to include the end of hostilities and the release

14
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>of the remaining hostages taken during the October seventh attack

15
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 1>on Israel all on the table. An official announcement could

16
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>come as soon as today. Meantime, Secretary of State Anthony

17
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>Blincoln is expected to announce post war plans for the

18
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 1>region and an effort to build rebuild Gaza later today.

19
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>No rest for the weary. In southern California, firefighters renew

20
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>their battle with the Santa Anna winds, which are expected

21
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 1>to whip themselves into a seventy mile per hour frenzy

22
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 1>again today and tomorrow. The National Weather Service has issued

23
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 1>a rare particularly dangerous red flag warning some forty thousand

24
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 1>acres of scorched earth since New Year's Day. Official say

25
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.519
<v Speaker 1>the winds threatened to erase all of the progress made

26
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 1>in containing those filefires in recent days. They warn of

27
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 1>explosive fire growth in the coming hours. All the winter illnesses,

28
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 1>it's the stuff that certainly keeps you up at night

29
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 1>and your doctor might share in you're insomnia. Doctor Darien

30
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Sudden says, we've only just begun.

31
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't think yet we are near the peak. But

32
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>what's different about this year is that it's not just

33
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.280
<v Speaker 2>one pathogen, not just two, but it's four different diseases

34
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>that are going around and spreading different times symptoms. We're

35
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>talking about flu, covid, RSV, as well as neurovirus.

36
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Doctor Sutton says the most common positive test he gets

37
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 3>back is the flu. He says it's important to remember

38
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 3>the basics, avoid contact with those infected, and regular hand

39
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 3>washing can help reduce the risk of infection. Jaywilllett WBZ

<v Speaker 1>New research suggests new cases of dementia in the United

42
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 1>States will double in the coming decades. Scientists say that

43
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>by the year twenty sixty one million American adults will

44
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 1>develop the debilitating memory robbing disease. Every year. The risk

45
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 1>factors for developing dementia appear to be higher than previous estimates.

46
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Bruins are back in action tonight. They'll take on Tampa

48
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Toronto tomorrow night and gone in a flash. The Minnesota

00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Vikings lose in an upset to the La Rams to

50
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:49.879

<v Speaker 4>Alkaaz Novak Djokovic all through to the second round already

56
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.360
<v Speaker 4>for the men. No surprises there, but in Novak's case,

57
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 4>he defeats A nineteen year old youngster who get this,

58
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 4>used the Novak Djokovic picture as his WhatsApp profile pick

59
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:15.240
<v Speaker 4>did you follow me there?

60
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>That I think I did.

61
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Novak is Nichez Basar Vodi's hero, and Djokovic addressed

62
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 4>it after he, you know, well beat him.

63
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what to say to that.

64
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 3>To be honest, I do appreciate the support.

66
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he's a teenager still, you know. I'm sure

67
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 5>we'll see a lot of him in the future.

68
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 4>Maybe I should make my profile pictures Novak.

69
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Good good job sorting out all those vowels and concepts.

70
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 4>Very difficult to the tennis front.

71
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Andrew. The early morning sky has lit up

72
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>with the January full moon as we are seeing temperatures

73
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>hovering right around the freezing mark right now, wins are

74
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>relatively calm for the moment, but that's going to change today.

75
00:03:58.280 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 1>We're going to see a mix of sun and clouds

76
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 1>and win conditions are back in play. Also cannot rule

77
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>out a late day snowshower or some flurry activity in

78
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 1>your neighborhood. Temperatures are going to be right around freezing

79
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.199
<v Speaker 1>all day today, but with the wind the akiweather, real

80
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>field temperatures will be suppressed in the teens and twenties

81
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>more the same Tomorrow and likely Thursday as well, with

82
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.519
<v Speaker 1>temperatures really not moving much above the freezing mark. But

83
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 1>it turns milder as we head towards the weekend on Friday, Saturday,

84
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and into Sunday as well, with high temperatures getting closer

85
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 1>to forty pretty much every day in that stretch. Right now,

86
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it's thirty under crystal clear skies here in Boston on

87
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>this Tuesday morning, it's six oh six. Quenching your midday

88
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 1>thirst could soon come with a new cost ice.

89
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 6>Cold and refreshing, but also filled with sugar. We know

90
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 6>soda is no good for us, and Boston City council

91
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 6>Or Sharon Durkin wants to drive that point home with

92
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 6>a new citywide sugary drink tax.

93
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 7>It's a really great idea.

94
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 6>Aaron used to drink a few orange sodas a day,

95
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 6>but kick the habit to the curb years ago.

96
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I've cut it out.

97
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 5>I don't drink soda anymore, and I actually have lost a.

98
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 6>She thinks Boston is overdue for a soda search art

99
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:03.680
<v Speaker 6>something things.

100
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 7>To be done about the childhood a.

00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 6>B ST Counselor. Durkin's proposal calls for a hearing to

102
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.800
<v Speaker 6>further investigate the viability of a sugary drink tax in Boston, Philly,

103
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 6>San Francisco, and Seattle have had one for years. Feedback

104
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 6>I'm getting seems to be a thumbs up.

105
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 4>Putting out stuff that's bad forth for a long time.

106
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 4>So I think it's time for them to pay back

107
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 4>and Charlestown.

113
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>The new policy update means anyone inside of Starbucks must

114
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 1>buy something. An update to an easing of the code

115
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>of conduct from seven years ago also includes restrictions on

116
