00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio. We defining

2
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>local news fifty degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening.

4
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.879
<v Speaker 2>The presidential candidates are making their final pitches today. Vice

5
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 2>President Kamala Harris concentrating on all important Pennsylvania, speaking to

6
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 2>a crowd in Scranton this morning.

7
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 1>It's about the win, and it is about more.

8
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 3>It is about more.

9
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.719
<v Speaker 2>It is about just strengthening our country and reminding each

10
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 2>other we are all in this together. We rise and

11
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>fall together. Harris is running made to Governor. Tim Walls

12
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.159
<v Speaker 2>is in Wisconsin touting Harris's record as vice president.

13
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 3>She stood up for women and children against predators and abusers.

14
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 3>She stood up with seniors and workers against fraudsters and

15
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 3>big corporate interests. She stood up for families and communities

16
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 3>against international gangs and drug traffickers. And she never once

17
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:57.840
<v Speaker 3>hesitated to reach across the aisle.

18
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Former President Donald Trump being time speaking in two more

19
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 2>states today after a visit to North Carolina, where he

20
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 2>talked to illegal immigration and told the voters in Raleigh

21
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>when he wins, he'll call Mexico on his first day

22
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>in office. You stop letting people.

23
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Come in through our border and come in through your

24
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 3>southern border.

25
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>And you stop them.

26
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 2>The former presidents in Pennsylvania now before hitting Michigan denied

27
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Republican vice presidential candidate jd Vance holding a rally in

28
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Wisconsin this morning with a call to recruit votes.

29
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Get yourself to the polls tomorrow and get nine of

30
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 3>your friends and family.

31
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>To come along with you.

32
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 4>That's how you vote ten times, and that's what.

33
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>We got to do. Meantime, just one more day to

34
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 2>drown in those political ads before the tide goes back out.

35
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 5>It's almost election day, much to the relief in trepidation

36
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 5>of many voters. But one thing almost everyone can agree on.

37
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, man, it is in little much. I'm tired of

38
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 2>going on youtubement scene.

39
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 5>Vote for Trump, vote for Commelin.

40
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

41
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 5>Of course, the political ads have become too much for

42
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 5>some of us to handle. Some people online were doubly

43
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 5>incensed that they've had to watch ads for New Hampshire

44
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 5>candidates that they can't even vote for. Interestingly, Boston and

45
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 5>Manchester are in the same TV market, so that's why

46
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 5>you might see them here. It's really their word against theirs,

47
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 5>So it's not really making a difference in my opinion. Now.

48
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 5>As we know from presidential polling, there's always an outlier,

49
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 5>and I found one.

50
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>They're pretty useful because I'm getting to see both side

51
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>of the Democratic and the Republican side, which is I

52
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>find really interesting.

00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Stay with WBZ News to Radio for election coverage tomorrow night.

55
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Results as they come in from across the state and

56
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 2>across the country. WZ will be here for you throughout

57

58
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Latest on the real estate picture, the National Association of

59
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Realtors is out with their annual profile of home buyers

60
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and sellers. Jessica Lotts is the organization's deputy Chief Economist

61
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and vice president of Research. She says this year's data

62
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>suggests the market's difficult for first time home buyers.

63
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 7>They have to say for a longer period of time.

64
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 7>Things like high rent, student loan, die credit cards at Carlance,

65
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 7>those are all really plaguing potential first time home buyers.

66
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 7>But then also looking inside the housing market at housing affordability.

67
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.960
<v Speaker 2>These survey finds home buyers today especially first time ones

68
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 2>are older than they have been historically. Some clouds around

69
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>as we head into the evening, and we will hold

70
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 2>out of the clouds and bring in a shower or too,

71
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>especially north and west early this evening, a shower or

72
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 2>two over the capean Islands. Later on tonight, temperatures don't

73
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 2>stray from the forties. Generally, will be in the low

74
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 2>forties in the suburbs in about forty eight downtown Tomorrow

75
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>here comes so warm up seventy one for the high temperature,

76
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 2>certainly in the city. We will be sitting at around

77
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>sixty five or so. Over the Cape and Islands tomorrow,

78
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 2>there will be a bit of a breeze that we'll

79
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>have clouds breaking for some sunshine. Wednesdays the real warm one,

80
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 2>in fact, it could be a record center. We'll see

81
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 2>record high on Wednesday, seventy six degrees. We may get

82
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 2>there with highs in the mid to upper seventies, clouds

83
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>and sunshine, and then a cool down but only a

84
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.479
<v Speaker 2>little bit mid sixties on Thursday, with some sunshine and

85
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a breeze. That's still above average

86
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 2>for this time of the year. Right now it is

87
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>fifty degrees see in Austin dirty diapers. Who wants them?

88
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Turns out a waste management facility in Massachusetts does. WBZTV's

89
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Breonna Pitts has more on a team up with a

90
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>daycare company turning pants into amps. Oh yes, they are used.

91
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 4>They are fully used, number one and number two and

92
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 4>that material all gets converted to electricity for the New

93
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 4>England power grid.

94
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 6>The stinky magic is happening here at Reworld, a sustainable

95
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 6>waste facility in haverl.

96
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 4>This is all the trap from the local municipalities.

97
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 6>That's Brett Stevens, a senior director of Reworld. Brett says,

98
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 6>after dirty diapers are steam sterilized to kill bacteria, they

99
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 6>come here where a giant claw mixes them up with

100
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 6>other waste. It's the beginning of a process known as

101
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 6>waste to energy.

102
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 4>We're moving trash into a boiler. That boiler is thermally

103
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 4>destroying or heating up the material that's createating steam energy.

104
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Steam energy goes through the turbine into the local power grid,

105
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 4>and that water that was in those tanks goes through

106
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 4>a closed loop process to come right back into our boilers.

107
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>The six Bright Horizons childcare centers are now putting all

108
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>of their used diapers and wipes into specially provided bins

109
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>from Huggies. They'll eventually end up that reworld. Since January,

110
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 2>the pilot programs kept more than thirty three thousand pounds

111
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 2>of diapers out of landfills and generated three megawatt hours

112
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>of electricity the following the developing news this afternoon in

113
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.839
<v Speaker 2>the Karen Reid case, the prosecution defense have filed a

114
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.079
<v Speaker 2>joint motion to delay the start of her second criminal

115
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>trial right now. Reid is set to face that trial

116
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 2>her after a first one ended in a mistrial January

117
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty seventh of this coming year. The motion is requesting

118
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 2>the start of the second trial we moved back to

119
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 2>April first. This comes as Reed's team has taken their

120
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:53.920
<v Speaker 2>case to the state's highest court to try to get

121
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>two of the three charges against her dismissed. Oral arguments

122
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 2>in that case are set to begin on Wednesday. SpaceX

123
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 2>is about to launch its thirty first cargo ship to

124
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 2>the International Space Station. One of the experiments it's carrying

125
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 2>an unusual satellite. That satellite is made of wood. It's

126
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>called Ligno SAT. The four inch cube made of magnolia,

127
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 2>which is particularly resilient. It's built by researchers at Kyoto

128
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>University and a Japanese logging company. Sidists want to see

129
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 2>just how wood may or may not hold up in

130
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 2>the vacuum of space. It could mean more environmentally friendly

131
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 2>satellites in the future, since wood would burn up in

132
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 2>the atmosphere when the orbit decays, while pieces of metal

133
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 2>satellites often survive and hit the Earth. Peter King's CBS
