<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ News Radio, where Boston gets the news,

2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:06.799
<v Speaker 1>an iHeartRadio station.

3
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Sixty seven degrees in Boston. It is four o'clock on

4
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:18.440
<v Speaker 2>your Thursday afternoon. Thanks for joining us. I'm Nicole Davis.

5
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Here's what's happening. We are following some major traffic problems

6
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 2>in Summerville and Everett. We're ninety nine shut down in

7
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>both directions. Wbz's Gina Tempesta. She's here now live from

8
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:32.799
<v Speaker 2>the twenty four hour Traffic Network. What's going on, Gina?

9
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, Nicole, we have a crash involving a track trash

10
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 3>truck actually in a large fuel spill. This is on

11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.479
<v Speaker 3>the Alfred Street Bridge, So ninety nine bolt north and

12
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 3>southbound shutdown. Northbound is shutdown between Sullivan Square and the bridge.

13
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 3>We have a large police activity there. We have detours

14
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.119
<v Speaker 3>in f fact, and that southbound right slow is going

15
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 3>to be shut down as well. Ninety nine between Hancock

16
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Sweet Street and a Sweetser Circle.

17
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>That's Route sixteen.

18
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Nicole, All right, Gina, back to you in just a

19
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 2>few minutes in traffic and weather together. But again avoid

20
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.119
<v Speaker 2>that part of Sullivan's Square getting into Everett, right by

21
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the casino if you can meantime, at four A one,

22
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.239
<v Speaker 2>cell phones are one step closer to becoming banned during

23
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 2>school time in Massachusetts classrooms. This after a bill was

24
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.120
<v Speaker 2>passed today by the Senate. Here's Stallbz's Jay will.

25
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.079
<v Speaker 4>Lett distraction portals in the pockets of everyone spelled trouble

26
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 4>for public school students. That's the message from proponents of

27
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.239
<v Speaker 4>a bill state senators took up on Beacon Hill. If passed,

28
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 4>it would ban cell phones statewide in public schools. Of course,

29
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 4>the House still needs to sign off on it too.

30
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 4>Governor Morri Heli and ag Andrea Campbell have back this bill.

31
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 4>Boston has gone ahead and used similar tactics already, with

32
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 4>pouches kids used to lock up their phones. Mayor Michelle

33
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 4>Wu says to.

34
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 5>Make sure that students don't have the distraction and can

35
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 5>not only focus on what's being taught in the classroom,

36
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 5>but have real in person interaction with their classmates.

37
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 4>The bill, however, if pass does, leave it up to

38
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 4>the local districts to decide how they want to enforce it.

39
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they can set.

40
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 4>Times that they can use them instead of just use

41
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 4>them all day.

42
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 6>On Beacon Hill, Jay will Let be BZ Boston's News Radio.

43
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 2>Quincy police say an eighteen year old has now been

44
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 2>accused of vandalizing more than sixty vehicles over the weekend.

45
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Dozens of these vehicles were found damaged in North Quinsy

46
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>back on Saturday. Neighbors say the suspect had been seen

47
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 2>walking down the street and scratching them up with a rock,

48
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>as happened along Commander Shay Boulevard, Quincy Shore Drive, Newberry Street,

49
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Hancock Street, and Oakridge Road. Police say the teen was

50
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.599
<v Speaker 2>arrested yesterday and is now facing sixty three counts of

51
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 2>defacing or damaging property. His identity has not been released.

52
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>President Trump saying he is granting Mexico a ninety day

53
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.199
<v Speaker 2>extension on their current twenty five percent tariffs. He made

54
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 2>the announcement after a call from the Mexican President, Claudia Schinbaum.

55
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow marks is deadline for countries to avoid a major

56
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>hiking tariffs if they don't have a trade deal in place,

57
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>But the AP Sauger mcganey reports, when it comes to

58
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 2>our neighbors to the north, the President is threatening to

59
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 2>slap some teriffs on them.

60
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Over foreign policy, President Trump says reaching a trade deal

61
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 1>with Canada will be very hard. After an announcement Canada's

62
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 1>leader yesterday on CTV.

63
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 4>Canada intends to recognize the state of Palestine.

64
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister Mark Carney's statement led to the president's threat.

65
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>It earlier suggested a thirty five percent tariff on Canada

66
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>if there is no trade deal by tomorrow. It's a

67
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.159
<v Speaker 1>shift from the President's stands after other nations announce they'll

68
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>formally recognize Palestinian statehood. From the UK, we have no

69
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 1>view on that. To France Roy, the President's threat to

70
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Canada is another example of him using a trade war

71
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 1>to try to coerce nations on unrelated issues. Sager Magani, Washington.

72
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 2>It is certainly very wet out there right now if

73
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>you're north and west of Boston. Not quite in the

74
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>city proper, but we have a lot of heavy rain

75
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>coming through and that rain is going to keep making

76
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 2>its way to the south and east through the rest

77
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>of the afternoon into the evening. Temperatures are dropping as well.

78
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 2>We've got temperatures in southeastern mass where it's not raining

79
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>in the seventies, but if you are where it is

80
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 2>raining and in some cases pouring right now, you're seeing

81
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 2>temperatures in the low to mid sixties for tonight, all

82
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>of us getting down to sixty with that heavy rain

83
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 2>at times. Then tomorrow the rain moves out by the

84
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.120
<v Speaker 2>i'd say lunchtime hour, and then it's just going to

85
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 2>be a really nice kind of early fall, feeling like

86
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>day with a high in the mid sixties for tomorrow

87
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 2>night down to fifty or fifty five or so if

88
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 2>you're inland. Sixty in Boston under clear skies Saturday and Sunday.

89
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>The weekend looking good, low humidity, nice and dry. We've

90
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.920
<v Speaker 2>got a high seventy five on Saturday and eighty or

91
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.199
<v Speaker 2>so on Sunday. Heavy rain right now through Sudbury at

92
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 2>sixty five degrees, a bit of a stormy situation in

93
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Danvers where it's sixty two. South of Boston right now

94
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 2>cloudy and Pembroke and seventy one, and in Boston at

95
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 2>four oh six it's overcast and sixty six now. Sunscreen

96
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 2>is important to make sure your kids don't get a sunburn,

97
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>but you might not have known that in some cases

98
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 2>here in Massachusetts it's actually illegal for them to use it.

99
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 7>It's been more flinch Crusade for seven years closing a

100
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 7>legal loophole you might not have ever heard of.

101
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 3>The more I speak with people, the more I find

102
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 3>out this surprise.

103
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Everybody has the same reaction.

104
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding me?

105
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 7>That's on hearing that it's illegal to let kids in

106
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 7>schools and camps put sunscreen on themselves without a doctor's note.

107
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 6>Flynn is the president of the Melanoma Action Coalition. Technically speaking,

108
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 6>sunscreen isn't over the counter drug, so nurses aren't allowed

109
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 6>to give it out or even let people use it

110
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:25.519
<v Speaker 6>without written permission.

111
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 3>What it does is it allows students to have access

112
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:35.199
<v Speaker 3>to sunscreen without a prescription or a very formal.

113
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:35.600

116
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 6>but it often dies on the vine.

118
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.600

124
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:07.360
<v Speaker 8>visits steadily increased as temperatures did. High heat has been

125
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.040

132
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 2>of Hall of Fame wrestler Hulk Hogan. New documents from

133
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.079
<v Speaker 2>the local medical examiner in Florida show Hogan, whose real

134
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 2>name was Terry Blea, died of a heart attack. He

135
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 2>reportedly had a history of atrial fibrillation and also suffered

136
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 2>from chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which had not been revealed to
