00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:15.519
<v Speaker 2>We have asked you to be home when the street

4
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.640
<v Speaker 2>lights come on, and every week you're gone for seven days.

00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.079
<v Speaker 2>But come in here, you have big lud. Let's hug

6
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.399
<v Speaker 2>it out. Good morning. It's six o'clock and we've got

00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:27.320
<v Speaker 2>thirty degrees under cloudy skies in Boston. The News at

10
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:33.719
<v Speaker 2>gonna warm it on up.

11
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Cloudy with rain arriving around midday that'll continue through the afternoon.

12
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>How's it forty to forty four? That is WBZ AKI

13
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 2>weather meteorologist Tether's are rain might change to snow overnight.

14
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Bruins get clobbered again. This time they're wiped out by

15
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the Jets at the Garden. They get the Rangers at

16
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>the Garden tomorrow afternoon. Celtics are in New Orleans with

17
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 2>the Pelicans tonight, and Patriots quarterback Drake May falls flat

18
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 2>at the NFL Pro Bowl Skills competent, he comes in

19
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>dead last while competing against fellow quarterbacks. Cruise head back

20
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 2>to the icy waters of the Potomac River this morning.

21
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 4>We're still in a recovery mode, first and foremost to

22
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.000
<v Speaker 4>get the perishable evidence and specifically the bodies out. Once

23
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 4>we get a little bit closer into that, we'll be

24
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 4>able to better understand the dynamics of what may have happened.

25
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Recovery mission continues following this week's deadly airline crash. Official

26
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 2>say the critical black boxes from the American Airlines passenger

27
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 2>debt have now been recovered. A report also indicates the

28
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.400
<v Speaker 2>control tower at Reagan National was understaffed at the time

29
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.519
<v Speaker 2>of the collision. There are also indications that the Blackhawk

30
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 2>helicopter was operating outside of its approved flight path. We are,

31
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 2>as Americans flying in record numbers, which means the skies

32
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>are increasingly crowded, but experts say it's still the safest

33
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>way to travel. More from CBS's Mark Strasman.

34
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 5>Given that congestion in the skies, US aviation has a

35
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 5>remarkable safety record, it.

36
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 6>Is safer to get on an airplane and go coast

37
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 6>to coast at third one thousand feet and six hundred

38
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 6>miles an hour. Than it is to drive yourself to

39
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 6>the airport at sixty miles an hour with four wheels

40
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 6>on the ground.

41
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 5>Kit Darby is a retired commercial and military pilot who

42
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 5>now consults for businesses hiring pilots. He has flown in

43
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 5>and out of Washington's Reagan National Airport for years.

44
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 6>You've got to hit your spot, you know, you've got

45
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 6>to do a good job of being a pilot to

46
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 6>fly successfully.

47
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 7>With that airport.

48
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 6>Trickier than most, far trickier than most.

49
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Air Traffic controllers and pilots have complained for years of

50
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.680
<v Speaker 2>traffic jams in the skies over Washington, but lawmakers on

51
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Capitol Hill have tended to often call for more flights.

52
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Senate confirmation hearings have come to a close for this week,

53
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>and lawmakers had a loft to sift through. Early indications

54
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>are it's going to be a very uphill battle for

55
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Health and Services nominee RFK Junior, who seems to need

56
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>a full court press to get enough Republicans on board.

57
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>FBI nominee Cash Pattel seems to have climbed that mountain,

58
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 2>and Tulsey Gabbard, who's in line to be the National

59
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Intelligence Director appears to have some bipartisan support. Meantime, the

60
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>vote is in and the A's have it for former

61
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>North Dakota Governor Doug Berman Bergham, that is, to take

62
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>a seat as Secretary of the Interior. Artificial intelligence could

63
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 2>help the Beatles win another Grammy award this weekend.

64
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 3>The last time the Fab four snaged to Grammy was

65
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 3>in nineteen ninety seven, but that could change Sunday night

66
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 3>or tests back in the competition for Record and Rock

67
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 3>Performance for their tune salvaged from a money demo from

68
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.759
<v Speaker 3>John Lennon, doctored with artificial intelligence mixed technology to include

69
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 3>all four members together. The Beatles won their first Grammy

70
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.439
<v Speaker 3>in nineteen sixty four. Denbraa Rodriguez, CBS News.

71
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Today is going to be a little bit milder day, However,

72
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>it comes with a catch. We are seeing readings right

73
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.599
<v Speaker 2>now around the upper twenties to low thirties. We'll get

74
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>into the low to mid forties later on today as

75
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>we're under a blanket of clouds now. Those clouds will

76
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 2>start to squeeze out some rain a little bit later

77
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>on this morning. It could come down heavy at times

78
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 2>this afternoon and as the temperature drops overnight tonight, we

79
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 2>could find ourselves with a coating to an inch of

80
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 2>snow by this time tomorrow. Now, as the weekend gets underway,

81
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 2>some lingering snow certainly can't be ruled out tomorrow, but

82
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 2>otherwise we're going to see some sunshine breaking through later

83
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 2>in the day. High temperatures will be more seasonable in

84
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>the low to mid thirties, pretty much same temperature range

85
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday, but another chance for some rain and perhaps

86
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>some snow moves in late Sunday into Monday as well,

87
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 2>And the long term forecast is we turn the calendar

88
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>to February, by the way, and the groundhog makes an

89
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 2>appearance on Sunday, we'll know our future for spring coming up.

90
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 2>We're going to be seeing limited sunshine and highs will

91
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 2>jump back into the forties on Monday. Right now in Boston,

92
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>it's thirty degrees under cloudy skies at six oh six

93
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 2>on this Friday morning. The city of Boston is taking

94
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>a big step to address the local housing crisis.

95
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 8>Vision Hotel on South Huntington AV has officially been acquisitioned

96
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 8>by Victory Programs. The Boston based group has run the

97
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 8>facility since twenty twenty one, helping over two hundred people

98
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.680
<v Speaker 8>experiencing homelessness and substance abuse. The nonprofit purchased the hotel

99
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 8>through a loan from the City of Boston using federal

100
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 8>funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. Mayor WU says

101
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 8>preserving and expanding shelter and supportive options are essential to

102
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 8>addressing homelessness with capassion, dignity, and care. James Rojas WBZ,

104
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Starbucks will start stirring a little dose of mediation in

105
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 2>your coffee cup. The world's largest coffee chain will bring

106
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 2>in a mediator in hopes of jump starting union contract negotiations,

107
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>which have been stuck on raise wages. Both sides say

108
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>they have made progress on money in recent months and

109
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 2>remain committed to the task to get a fair contract.

110
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 2>The union that represents Burrista's in some five hundred Starbucks

111
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 2>shops in the US says it hopes to nail down

112
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.519
<v Speaker 2>an agreement by the end of last year, but to

113
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>no avail. Former Celtic star Terry Rozier may be in

114
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>some very hot water with the federal government. Details now

115
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 2>from wbz's Drew moholland Good morning, Andrew.

116
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 7>Good morning Jeffery. Yes, prosecutors are nosing around the NBA

117
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.120
<v Speaker 7>ve trend. He was pretty electric here during his four

118
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 7>years with the Celtics starting in twenty fifteen.

119
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Yet under the rim, going to the left hand.

120
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, a concern here, jeff is gambling and that Rosier

121
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.439
<v Speaker 7>may be part of an illegal sports betting scheme. By

122
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.920
<v Speaker 7>all indications, Rosier is tied up in a wide ranging

123
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 7>investigation into a gambling ring with rigged games. Officials questioned

124
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 7>Rosier's performance in two games last season, of course, not

125
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 7>with the Celtics anymore. Miami Heat latest team that led

126
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 7>to indications of inside information that may have tipped the scales.

127
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 7>We're talking here about these things called prop bets, Jeffrey,

128
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 7>where if you know, you can bet on a player

129
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.199
<v Speaker 7>to get a certain amount of points in a game,

130
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 7>and if that person, that player leaves the game early with, oh,

131
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 7>I don't know, a foot injury, Yeah, then they're probably

132
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 7>not going to get the points.

133
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 2>So if they got those points and then stopped there, right, Yeah,

134
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.519
<v Speaker 2>there's all sorts of things, So a lot of twists

135
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 2>and turns in sports gambling. Drew, Thank you. You are
