Speaker 1: This is w b Z, Boston's news radio. We defining
Speaker 1: local news fifty degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,
Speaker 1: I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening.
Speaker 2: The presidential candidates are making their final pitches today. Vice
Speaker 2: President Kamala Harris concentrating on all important Pennsylvania, speaking to
Speaker 2: a crowd in Scranton this morning.
Speaker 1: It's about the win, and it is about more.
Speaker 3: It is about more.
Speaker 2: It is about just strengthening our country and reminding each
Speaker 2: other we are all in this together. We rise and
Speaker 2: fall together. Harris is running made to Governor. Tim Walls
Speaker 2: is in Wisconsin touting Harris's record as vice president.
Speaker 3: She stood up for women and children against predators and abusers.
Speaker 3: She stood up with seniors and workers against fraudsters and
Speaker 3: big corporate interests. She stood up for families and communities
Speaker 3: against international gangs and drug traffickers. And she never once
Speaker 3: hesitated to reach across the aisle.
Speaker 2: Former President Donald Trump being time speaking in two more
Speaker 2: states today after a visit to North Carolina, where he
Speaker 2: talked to illegal immigration and told the voters in Raleigh
Speaker 2: when he wins, he'll call Mexico on his first day
Speaker 2: in office. You stop letting people.
Speaker 3: Come in through our border and come in through your
Speaker 3: southern border.
Speaker 1: And you stop them.
Speaker 2: The former presidents in Pennsylvania now before hitting Michigan denied
Speaker 2: Republican vice presidential candidate jd Vance holding a rally in
Speaker 2: Wisconsin this morning with a call to recruit votes.
Speaker 3: Get yourself to the polls tomorrow and get nine of
Speaker 3: your friends and family.
Speaker 1: To come along with you.
Speaker 4: That's how you vote ten times, and that's what.
Speaker 2: We got to do. Meantime, just one more day to
Speaker 2: drown in those political ads before the tide goes back out.
Speaker 5: It's almost election day, much to the relief in trepidation
Speaker 5: of many voters. But one thing almost everyone can agree on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it is in little much. I'm tired of
Speaker 2: going on youtubement scene.
Speaker 5: Vote for Trump, vote for Commelin.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Of course, the political ads have become too much for
Speaker 5: some of us to handle. Some people online were doubly
Speaker 5: incensed that they've had to watch ads for New Hampshire
Speaker 5: candidates that they can't even vote for. Interestingly, Boston and
Speaker 5: Manchester are in the same TV market, so that's why
Speaker 5: you might see them here. It's really their word against theirs,
Speaker 5: So it's not really making a difference in my opinion. Now.
Speaker 5: As we know from presidential polling, there's always an outlier,
Speaker 5: and I found one.
Speaker 2: They're pretty useful because I'm getting to see both side
Speaker 2: of the Democratic and the Republican side, which is I
Speaker 2: find really interesting.

Speaker 2: and sellers. Jessica Lotts is the organization's deputy Chief Economist
Speaker 2: and vice president of Research. She says this year's data
Speaker 2: suggests the market's difficult for first time home buyers.
Speaker 7: They have to say for a longer period of time.
Speaker 7: Things like high rent, student loan, die credit cards at Carlance,
Speaker 7: those are all really plaguing potential first time home buyers.
Speaker 7: But then also looking inside the housing market at housing affordability.
Speaker 2: These survey finds home buyers today especially first time ones
Speaker 2: are older than they have been historically. Some clouds around

Speaker 2: especially north and west early this evening, a shower or
Speaker 2: two over the capean Islands. Later on tonight, temperatures don't

Speaker 2: certainly in the city. We will be sitting at around
Speaker 2: sixty five or so. Over the Cape and Islands tomorrow,
Speaker 2: there will be a bit of a breeze that we'll
Speaker 2: have clouds breaking for some sunshine. Wednesdays the real warm one,
Speaker 2: in fact, it could be a record center. We'll see
Speaker 2: record high on Wednesday, seventy six degrees. We may get
Speaker 2: there with highs in the mid to upper seventies, clouds
Speaker 2: and sunshine, and then a cool down but only a

Speaker 2: Turns out a waste management facility in Massachusetts does. WBZTV's
Speaker 2: Breonna Pitts has more on a team up with a
Speaker 2: daycare company turning pants into amps. Oh yes, they are used.
Speaker 4: They are fully used, number one and number two and
Speaker 4: that material all gets converted to electricity for the New
Speaker 4: England power grid.
Speaker 6: The stinky magic is happening here at Reworld, a sustainable
Speaker 6: waste facility in haverl.
Speaker 4: This is all the trap from the local municipalities.
Speaker 6: That's Brett Stevens, a senior director of Reworld. Brett says,
Speaker 6: after dirty diapers are steam sterilized to kill bacteria, they
Speaker 6: come here where a giant claw mixes them up with
Speaker 6: other waste. It's the beginning of a process known as
Speaker 6: waste to energy.
Speaker 4: We're moving trash into a boiler. That boiler is thermally
Speaker 4: destroying or heating up the material that's createating steam energy.
Speaker 4: Steam energy goes through the turbine into the local power grid,
Speaker 4: and that water that was in those tanks goes through
Speaker 4: a closed loop process to come right back into our boilers.
Speaker 2: The six Bright Horizons childcare centers are now putting all
Speaker 2: of their used diapers and wipes into specially provided bins
Speaker 2: from Huggies. They'll eventually end up that reworld. Since January,
Speaker 2: the pilot programs kept more than thirty three thousand pounds
Speaker 2: of diapers out of landfills and generated three megawatt hours

Speaker 2: the Karen Reid case, the prosecution defense have filed a
Speaker 2: joint motion to delay the start of her second criminal
Speaker 2: trial right now. Reid is set to face that trial
Speaker 2: her after a first one ended in a mistrial January
Speaker 2: twenty seventh of this coming year. The motion is requesting
Speaker 2: the start of the second trial we moved back to
Speaker 2: April first. This comes as Reed's team has taken their
Speaker 2: case to the state's highest court to try to get
Speaker 2: two of the three charges against her dismissed. Oral arguments
Speaker 2: in that case are set to begin on Wednesday. SpaceX
Speaker 2: is about to launch its thirty first cargo ship to
Speaker 2: the International Space Station. One of the experiments it's carrying
Speaker 2: an unusual satellite. That satellite is made of wood. It's
Speaker 2: called Ligno SAT. The four inch cube made of magnolia,
Speaker 2: which is particularly resilient. It's built by researchers at Kyoto
Speaker 2: University and a Japanese logging company. Sidists want to see
Speaker 2: just how wood may or may not hold up in
Speaker 2: the vacuum of space. It could mean more environmentally friendly
Speaker 2: satellites in the future, since wood would burn up in
Speaker 2: the atmosphere when the orbit decays, while pieces of metal
Speaker 2: satellites often survive and hit the Earth. Peter King's CBS
