<v Speaker 1>This is WBZY, Boston's news radio.

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:07.120
<v Speaker 2>We defining local news.

3
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.119
<v Speaker 1>By Monday morning. Kind of creeps up on you rather quickly,

4
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>doesn't it, especially in the summertime. Sixty five degrees under

5
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.519
<v Speaker 1>hazy and mostly cloudy skies as we get started this morning,

6
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for being with us. At six o'clock. The news

7
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:24.839
<v Speaker 1>is brought to us by your new England Toyota dealer,

8
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 1>your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. I'm Jeff Brown. It's

9
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>smoke from a distant fire.

10
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's see easy sunshine today and it will be very warm.

11
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>But not all that human. That is wbz ACU weather

12
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>meteorologist Joe Lumberg. And air quality alert has been posted

13
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 1>effective right now until midnight tonight. That's due to the

14
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>wildfire smoke from Canada. It'll be in the eighties later

15
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>on today. Capitol Hill is quiet this morning as the

16
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 1>Senate joins the House on a summer break, and it's

17
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>month long recess leaves a lot of untended business and

18
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>ticks off President Trump, who blasts Senate Minority Leader Chuck

19
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Schumer and tells him to go to hell for putting

20
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>up roadblocks to the Republican majority's agenda. The break now

21
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>leaves the GOP scrambling with a promise to establish new

22
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>rules to pick up the pace of confirmations after Democrats

23
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>deny consent votes and insist on roll calls. And now

24
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 1>there's some talk of some recess appointments, the so called

25
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>nuclear option in the Senates. Back home, nothing is off

<v Speaker 1>Boston police are out with a warning over a phone

28
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 1>scheme that targets renters looking for local apartments. The callers

29
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>pose as landlords featuring a great piece of real estate.

30
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 1>Police say, really does not exist. The plot involves you

31
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>sending money up front with wire transfers, gift cards or

32
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 1>other types of payment. The plot twist you never get

33
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.079
<v Speaker 1>to see the space. Got to act fast. Boston Police say,

34
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>do your research and if any deal sounds too good

35
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 1>to be true, you know it likely is. Well. This

36
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>year is showing signs of the worst year for home buyers.

<v Speaker 3>More logan motorshaw Mee House Wire argues this slowdown is

39
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 3>actually healthy. This is the best medicine for the housing

40
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 3>market currently because home price is escalated out of control.

41
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 1>Price growth cooling down as a positive.

44
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 3>man picks up, we need more housing out there, and

45
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 3>lower ritz.

46
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Could facilitate interest rates and inflation or moving the needle here,

47
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's next to impossible also for many families to

48
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>afford the price tag of a single family home, which

49
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>in Greater Boston now carries a median price tag of

50
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>more than one million dollars. Well, all of a sudden,

51
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 1>Stevie Nicks is not coming to Boston. Wbz's Drew moholland

<v Speaker 1>with late details.

53
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 4>Good morning Andrew, Good morning Jeffreyeah the legend she is.

54
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 4>Stevie Nicks has to put her tour on hold. The

55
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.879
<v Speaker 4>former Fleetwood max Star fractured her shoulder and she will

56
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 4>put all shows in August and September on the shelf.

57
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 4>The plan is for the October shows to go on

58
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 4>as scheduled. Nick, who is seventy seven, was scheduled to

59
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 4>play the Game guarding a week from tomorrow, but due

60
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 4>to that injury, the Boston show Jeff has now been

61
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 4>moved to November twenty fourth.

62
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>All right, Drew, thank you. At least she's going to

63
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>be here to make up for that lost time. Absolutely

64
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>in sixty five degrees since we get started this Monday morning,

65
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 1>and it looks like mostly cloudy skies, but it's an

66
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>awful lot of haze in the atmosphere, and that haze

67
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 1>is the smoke from the Canadian wildfires which has been

68
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>traveling south over the past couple of days, and it's

69
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>really going to affect our air today. In fact, an

70
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 1>air quality alert has been posted for all day. It

71
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 1>expires officially at midnight tonight, so it might be a

72
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 1>rough day to be outside if you have any respiratory issues.

73
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, it is going to be very warm today,

74
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>not all that humid, with daytime highs between eighty five

75
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 1>and ninety today, mainly clear, Still the wildfire smoke in

76
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the atmosphere, you'll certainly see it and may be able

77
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 1>to smell it as well. With temperatures tonight dropping into

78
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 1>the sixties. Tomorrow looks like another decent day with some sunshine,

79
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.639
<v Speaker 1>highs in the mid to upper seventies. Wednesday looks good too,

80
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 1>same story, seventies and lower eighties. And then on Thursday,

81
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>we're switching the script a little bit with more clouds

82
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 1>than sun, with highs again right around eighty. Right now

83

<v Speaker 1>in Boston, it's sixty five degrees here in the city

84
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and hazy skies at six oh five on this Monday morning,

85
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 1>the Greater Boston trash strike is not over, and it's

86
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 1>not even close.

87
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Disappointed, that's how Republic Services describes the feeling. After ninety

88
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 2>three percent of union members voted to stay on strike.

89
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>The company says it's non union employees and support staff

90
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 2>will continue service and customers in the Greater Boston area,

91
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.319
<v Speaker 2>which includes Wakefield, where Tony has noticed.

92
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 5>In Wakefield, I saw two new trash structures had rent

93
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 5>me on them, so I know the scabs are working

94
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 5>for them, so I don't go for that.

95
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 2>The union leadership, meanwhile, says Republic is being disrespectful to

96
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.600
<v Speaker 2>employees who continue to fight for higher wages and better benefits.

97
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.319

102
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.480

<v Speaker 1>that would have raised their pay by twenty percent over

104

<v Speaker 1>four years. Meantime, and for the first time in its

105
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.800

118
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Every dollar raised in the ride goes to cancer research

122
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 1>it was a smash hit this year. Since it start

123
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>forty five years ago, the Penmass Challenge has raised more

124
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>than one billion dollars for cancer research. Celtic's owner Steve

00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.199
<v Speaker 1>Mohegan Tribe, Pagliuca says it's now in the league's hands,

129
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>which has been hesitant to sign off on the deal.

130
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Pagliuca says this deal is best for the WNBA, the team,

131
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 1>and its fans. While the league reiterates that the deal

132
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>is subject to its approval and not the team's approval,
