3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Good Saturday morning. Thanks for being with us. I'm Sherry Small.

4
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Here's what's happening. Picture perfect fall weather weekend.

5
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 3>Let's continue for today with a warmer data start the weekend.

6
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>We'll have a high near seventy.

7
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Act you weather Meteorologist LaTroy Thornton there. The full forecast

8
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 2>is coming right up early in person. Voting for the

9
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.840
<v Speaker 2>November fifth election is now under way in Massachusetts. Secretary

10
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>of State Bill Galvin's office says the state sent out

11
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>more than one point three million ballots. About thirty one

12
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.240
<v Speaker 2>percent of those ballots requested, four hundred and twenty five

13
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 2>thousand have been returned so far. The countdown to election

14
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 2>day continues. In law enforcement around the country is preparing

15
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>for whatever security threats may come up. BBC's Nicole Davis

16
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 2>spoke with the former top man at the BPD.

17
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Former Boston Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, says technology like social

18
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>media is now making it easy for people to take

19
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>part in what he calls inspirational terror.

20
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 4>The ability is so easily cretain people. His brother's carrying

21
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 4>one phone that's not too.

22
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>And the rhetoric is still heating up, as we have

23
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>seen with attempts on the life of former President Trump

24
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.359
<v Speaker 1>and threats to against state and local election workers.

25
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 4>The complexity of the issue has changed dramatically and it's

26
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 4>going to require a lot more investment in security dealing

27
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 4>with the new threats now.

28
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>He says, local departments have been working on sharing tactics

29
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and information to make sure everybody poll workers, voters, and

30
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>candidates alike are safe at polling places.

31
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 4>You should feel secure that the invast majority of them

32
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 4>will have some type of coverage from the local police,

33
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 4>and we'll be watching social media extensively.

35
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 2>Picketing is now suspended at the Omni Boston Seaport and

38
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>withheld pending the outcome of tomorrow's ratification vote. If the

39
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 2>contract is approved, workers will be back on the job

40
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 2>there on Monday. Unite Here Local twenty six represents hotel

<v Speaker 2>workers at more than thirty properties in Boston whose contracts

42
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 2>expired at the end of August. No word yet though

43
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>on any progress in talks involving striking workers at Hilton

44
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Park Plaza and Hilton Boston. Logan Hezbla apparently stepping up

45
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>attacks on Israel, suspected in a drone attack on the

46
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>home of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Prime Minister

47
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 2>and his wife were not there at the time. In

48
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Israeli officials report no casualties. Meanwhile, no let up in

49
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>fighting between Hamas and Israel following the death of Hamas

50
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>leader Yaha Sinwar. The latest from ABC's Tom Sufi Burris.

51
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.599
<v Speaker 5>President Biden is cool, the kidding at Saiwow an opportunity

52
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 5>to try and get a seesepot in and maybe in Gaza.

53
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 5>But this morning proof once again that this is a

54
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 5>regional war which is escalating on multiple fronts, and Israel

55
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 5>is still wearhing its retaliatory strike on Iran, which could

56
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 5>come at any moments, And.

57
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 2>There are also questions looming about who will succeed Sinwar,

58
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>with candidates including his brother Mohammed Sinhwar. And now the

59

<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the Atlantic are now on display in Boston.

73
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Here's WPC's Madison Rogers.

74
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 3>You're around a corner and suddenly you're in the grand

75
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 3>staircase of the RMS Titanic, a stunning or nate recreation.

76
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 3>You can almost feel the ground softly rocking under your feet.

77
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 3>Even though this exhibition has been seen by thirty five

78
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 3>million people, the people of Boston have not seen it before.

79
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.439
<v Speaker 3>Joe Gold is a promoter for Titanic. The artifact exhibition,

80
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 3>which just opened up at the Saunders Castle Downtown. Recreations

81
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 3>are the backdrop for over one hundred and fifty haunting

82
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 3>pieces of history. We have a David arm that was

83
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 3>taken from the deck of Titanic, that was used to

84
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 3>lower the lifeboats into the water. From towering hunks of machinery,

85
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 3>to things like playing cards or a pair of eyeglasses,

86
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 3>tangible reminders of what we lost. Take a step back

87
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 3>and look at history, and history comes to life right here.

88
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 3>The exhibit will be here through May in town. I'm

90
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 2>Prosecutors in the Karen Reid case planned to call her father,

91
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>William Reid, as a witness when she has tried for

92
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 2>a second time in her trial beginning in late January.

93
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Reed charged in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police

94
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>officer John O'Keefe on January twenty ninth, twenty twenty two,

95
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 2>in Canton. Reid's first trial ended in a mistrial because

96
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>of a hung jury. The Commonwealth has now asked the

97
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 2>court to order Verizon Wireless to produce call records, text messages,

98
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 2>and data from William Reid's account from January twenty ninth

99
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 2>and January thirtieth. That's overnight the night that O'Keefe's O'Keeffe

100
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 2>died in the Snow. Special Assistant District Attorney Hank Brennan

101
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 2>says the request is to compare the timing and the

102
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:56.199
<v Speaker 2>frequency of Karen Reid's calls to her father on the

103
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>night of the victim's death, and they will compare that

104
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 2>to the frequency ease of calls on dates not involving

105
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:07.199
<v Speaker 2>the alleged crime. The Massachusetts State Police unit that investigated

106
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Karen Reid is about to get a new leader. Detective

107
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Lieutenant Brian Tully, who remains under internal investigation, has been

108
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 2>moved to another department in the Norfolk County DA's office.

109
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 2>The job now posted for Tully's old job. In a release,

110
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 2>State Police Colonel Jeffrey Noble says that the move is

111
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>in the best interests of the department. Trooper Michael Proctor,

112
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.040
<v Speaker 2>who was in Tully's unit and led the Karen Reid investigation,

113
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:37.079
<v Speaker 2>has been suspended without payover disparaging remarks he made about Reid.

114
