18
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.760

20
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 3>in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

21
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Justice will be delivered in this case.

22
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 3>Pennsylvania police were called to the scene after the Maryland

23
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 3>native was spotted at a McDonald's in Altoona around nine

24
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 3>to fifteen am yesterday. Investigators say they approached him and

25
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 3>asked if he had recently been to New York.

26
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>The Mangioni family says they are shocked by the news.

27
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>They are praying for the family of Brian Thompson. But

28
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 2>who exactly is Luigi Mangioni. CBS's Lilia Luciano tells us

29
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 2>what we know so far.

30
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 4>Manjoni comes from a prominent Maryland family, which owns multiple

31
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 4>country clubs in the state. He graduated from Gilman, an

32
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 4>elite all boys private school, one of the highest ranked

33
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 4>in the country.

34
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 3>We all knew each other.

35
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 5>I wasn't took a close with him, but I knew

36
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 5>of him.

37
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 3>I knew him somewhat well.

38
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:16.319
<v Speaker 1>He's a nice kid.

39
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 4>He then attended the Ivy Leagues University of Pennsylvania, earning

40
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 4>a bachelor and master's degree in computer science.

41
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Authority Saint Menchioni was carrying a passport and ten thousand

42
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 2>dollars in cash at the time of the arrest Sashore drivers.

43
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>The four River Bridge is going up this afternoon at

44
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 2>three pm for an inbound vessel. Maybe you saw the

45
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>blinking sign. I'm just your friendly reminder here because we

46
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>know what that means. That means Ruth three A will

47
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 2>come to a standstill for roughly twenty miss in the

48
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Quincy Weymouth area. And of course this barge coming in

49
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 2>has to go, and it's leaving tomorrow morning at around

50
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>nine am, and again the bridge will be up. I

51
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>have a little more information about tomorrow's storm, but let

52
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 2>me just do today's weather very quickly. Here in the forties,

53
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 2>touch of drizzle, what you see is what you get.

54
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 2>And then tonight too little rain, little drizzle. Here comes

55
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 2>some rain around midnight. That's set a pretty good clip.

56
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 2>But the wind is going to come in and we

57
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 2>might even hear some thunder and lightning overnight. But the

58
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>timeline here looks like three to four o'clock in the

59
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>afternoon tomorrow for our heaviest stuff. That could lead to

60
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:30.199
<v Speaker 2>some flooding in the area, some power outages. I am

61
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>seeing wind watches that's probably going to become a warning

62
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>as we get closer to that timeline. And then again,

63
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing some flood watches in particular for Western mass

64
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Thursday looks beautiful, mostly sunny, windy's still high forty four.

65
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>New Year's Eve is fast upon us, and Boston's biggest

66
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.840
<v Speaker 2>party of the year is now shaping up. With our

67
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 2>list of performers.

68
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>The lineup for First Night Boston twenty twenty five is

69
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>looking incredible, filled with some of the Bay States best performers,

70
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>including those with the Boston Music Project. Hill House, the

71
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>band made up of recent graduates of Worcester Polytechnic, is

72
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>also bringing the beats. Her terms are really short, so

73
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 1>we all get burnt out really really quickly, and so

74
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>we wrote a song about it.

75
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Enjoy.

76
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Over two dozen performers have been announced for the day

77
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>long celebration, with eleven different venues across the city, including

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Rose Kennedy Greenway. James Rojas WVZ Boston's News Radio.

80
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 2>Wow, those musicians sounded great. It's going to be a

81
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun. I hope the weather's nice for that.

82
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>Fading gone apparently Boston merwu's tax plan to protect homeowners

83
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 2>dies on the political vine at the State House. After

84
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>several punts in the state Senate, President Karen Spilker released

85
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 2>his statement last night saying not enough support. She's not

86
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>going to take it to the floor for any further debate. Now,

87
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 2>this should be a interesting The final Boston City Council

88
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 2>meeting of the year is tomorrow, and at that point

89
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 2>the council will have to really set that twenty twenty

90
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 2>five property tax rate in the eleventh hour. Here time

91
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 2>is running out. Looks like city property owners residential owners

92
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>are looking at a ten percent hike next year. New

93
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.519
<v Speaker 2>research suggests the world's climate could still cross a critical

94
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 2>red line even if emissions are slashed in the coming years.

95
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>And here's CBS is Tracy Woolf.

96
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.199
<v Speaker 5>With twenty twenty four expected to be the hottest year

97
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 5>on record, a new study from Stanford University estimates there

98
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 5>is a fifty percent chance that global warming will breach

99
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 5>two degrees celsius even if the world rapidly cuts greenhouse

100
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 5>gas emissions by twenty fifty. Utilizing AI, researchers say there

101
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 5>is a nine to ten chance that the hottest year

102
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 5>of this century will be at least a half a

103
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 5>degree celsius hotter, even under rapid decarbonization. Tracy Wolf, CBS
