<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news.

00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Forty one degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>on Ben Parker. Here's what's happening.

4
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Everyone knows, Wow, what is it?

5
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Everyone knows?

6
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Again?

7
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Ah, Yes, everyone knows it's windy because it's been well windy.

8
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 2>Fifty to sixty mile an hour wind gusts have been

9
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 2>battering parts of Massachusetts today. We'll get better. How about

10
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 2>thirty to forty mile an hour wind gus tomorrow. A

11
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>high wind warning still up for central Massachusetts. A wind

12
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 2>advisory in eastern mass Powers out to just over fifteen

13
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>one thousand customers across the commonwealth and in Boston. Earlier today,

14
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>a scaffolding collapsed in the back bay. It happened at

15
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Beacon and Exeter Streets. A couple of cars were hit

16
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 2>by falling debris.

17
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 4>As see how especially trained firefighters that went underneath the

18
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 4>scaffolding that's collapsed onto the onto the cars to make

19
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 4>sure that there's no one in the cars and that

20
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:04.840
<v Speaker 4>there's no civilians.

21
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>We might have been walking on the sidebar. Nobody was heard.

22
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Fire officials say there does not appear to be significant

23
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 2>damage to the building Rhods are expected to be closed

24
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.760
<v Speaker 2>off for some time for a full cleanup effort. In

25
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 2>the back bay. Were following some developing news involving your

26
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Boston Bruins. We have Brian Antonelli here to tell us

27
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 2>who's going where and who's coming here.

28
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 5>Then, Brad Marshan had played in over one thousand games

29
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 5>with the Bruins, where he was fourth all time and goals,

30
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 5>fifth in points, and he was the final player from

31
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.200
<v Speaker 5>the team that won the twenty eleven Stanley Cup squad.

32
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 5>Butts I say was because the Bruins have traded their

33
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 5>captain today at the deadline to the Florida Panthers, so

34
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 5>in the division. Still no word on what the return is.

35
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 5>But once again, Brad Marshan no longer a Bruin, He's

36
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 5>a Panther. The Bees were busy elsewhere. They sent Charlie

37
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 5>Coyle to Colorado for a couple of and a conditional

38
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 5>second round pick, and they did receive a first round

39
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 5>pick and a three team deal that has sent Brandon

40
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 5>Carlow to Toronto.

41
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, continuing to follow developments here, we'll let you

42
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 2>know and we know more right here on WBZ. Don't

43
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 2>forget to download the iHeartRadio app, take us with you

44
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>wherever you go, and make WBZ You're number one present

45
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>why not? Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell's filed the lawsuit

46
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 2>against the number of federal agencies for mass layoffs of

47
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 2>probationary federal workers, along with twenty other attorneys at General

48
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Campbell's asking a federal court to order agencies to stop

49
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>the layoffs and reinstate the fired workers. They argued the

50
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Trump administration failed to follow federal laws around large scale

51
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>reductions in force, failing to provide enough advanced notice to

52
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.639
<v Speaker 2>workers terminated federal employees and Massachusetts have already applied to

53
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the state for unemployment benefits. The Federal Reserve says the

54
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>US economy is strong despite concerns about inflation and tariffs.

55
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 6>The Federal Reserve is not rushing to cut interest rates,

56
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.960
<v Speaker 6>as Chairman Jerome Powell now Friday.

57
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 7>The economy remains strong, but inflation does not continue to

58
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 7>move sustainably towards two percent. We can maintain policy restraint

59
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 7>for longer.

60
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 6>And when it comes to the economic effect of President

61
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 6>Trump's policy.

62
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.439
<v Speaker 7>Changes, uncertainty around the changes and their likely effects remains high.

63
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 6>Powell told the US Monetary Policy Forum in Chicago the

64
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 6>FED is well positioned to wait for greater clarity. Brian

65
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 6>Clark ABC News windy. Yes, it'll be less windy tomorrow,

66
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 6>but still windy. Wind advisories are effect till seven o'clock tonight,

67
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.360
<v Speaker 6>but when the advisory expires, the winds don't just vanish,

68
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 6>they just dim down a little bit. So we've had

69
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.400
<v Speaker 6>wind gus today fifty sixty miles an hour. Tonight will

70
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 6>be breezy, probably forty mile an hour wind gusts of

71
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 6>possibility tomorrow thirty to forty mile an hour wind gusts.

72
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 6>So see, it's getting a little better each day. We'll

73
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 6>be chilly tomorrow forty two, feeling though like it's in

74
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 6>the twenties.

75
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 2>With that wind. There will be some sunshine and some clouds,

76
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>mainly clear tomorrow nine love twenty five, still a little breezy.

77
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>On Sunday, partly sunny, temperatures in the low forties. Monday,

78
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 2>clouds will give way to sunshine. Will be breezy again

79
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 2>forty seven and then into the fifties on Tuesday. Right now,

80
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>it is forty one degree in Boston downtown. Lowell's newest

81
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>business is already proving to be a big hit with

82
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>the area's cat lovers.

83
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 8>When Lowell's Lazy Cat Lounge opened its doors for the

84
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 8>very first time this morning, Miranda from Burlington was here

85
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 8>and ready to make some new friends.

86
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Hi fiance is allergic to cats, and I love them,

87
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 2>so this is a great place for me to go

88
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 2>to get some cat time.

89
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 8>And that's exactly what Brandy Jong is offering, along with

90
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 8>coffee and fresh bake goods in a cozy space with

91
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 8>Victorian sitting room vibe and lots of friendly feelines. John

92
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 8>created this space for folks like Miranda who might be

93
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 8>starred for cat companionship, or who might be looking to

94
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 8>adopt one of the cats on loan from the MSPCA.

95
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 3>You know you're not going in and seeing a cat

96
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.879
<v Speaker 3>who's been in a cage all day and been stressed out.

97
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 7>This is a more homelike environment.

98
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 3>You get to see their personality a little bit better.

99
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 8>The MSPCA, where Jong is volunteered for twenty five years,

100
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 8>gets a dollar for every person who comes here to

101
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 8>the Lazy Cat Lounge sessions or booked online from Lowell Kendall.

102
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.079
<v Speaker 8>Built to busy Boston's news radio.

103
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Sleep tonight because tomorrow night clocks go forward an hour

104
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 2>and knocks an hour off your night time. Losing sleep

105
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.519
<v Speaker 2>no fun, but it can have side effects too.

106
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Research has shown the ritual of changing the clocks in

107
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 3>spring and fall can impact productivity and our mental and

108
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 3>physical health.

109
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 7>Honestly, even sleeping in an hour, I get groggy, and

110
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 7>then losing the hour, I just get evil.

111
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 3>It's why the American Academy of Sleep Medicine wants to

112
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 3>eliminate seasonal time changes.

113
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 9>It's harder to go to bed when it's light out,

114
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:34.879
<v Speaker 9>so that can make it harder to fall asleep.

115
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 3>But yet our responsibilities are the same in terms of

116
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 3>waking up for school, waking up for work. Doctor Nina

117
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 3>shell Gakar is president of the Academy, which recommends moving

118
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.759
<v Speaker 3>to year round, permanent standard time. Before taking office, President

119
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 3>Trump posted his support for ending daylight saving time, saying

120
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.040
<v Speaker 3>it is inconvenient and very costly to our nation.

121
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 2>That issbisis Donia buckis trying to reach a deal on nuke's.

122
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.879
<v Speaker 2>President Trump says he's reached out to a rand supremely.

123
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 9>President Trump told Fox.

124
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 10>News, I've written him a letter saying, I hope you

125
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 10>can negotiate, because if we have to go in militarily,

126
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.199
<v Speaker 10>it's going to be a terrible thing for them.

127
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 9>He says he thinks it's a letter they want to get.

128
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 10>The other w alternative is we have to do something

129
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 10>because you can't let him have a nuclear weapon.

130
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 9>Trump says he sent it yesterday, but a spokesperson from

131
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 9>Ron's UN mission told CBS News they have not received

132
