00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>This is wb Z Boston's news radio, redefining local news sixty.

2
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:12.119
<v Speaker 2>One degrees in Boston at four o'clock good Saturday afternoon

3
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.280
<v Speaker 2>on Madison Rogers. We've seen dueling protests on Boston Common

4
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 2>this afternoon after an anti abortion crowd took to the streets.

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Several arrests have been made. The men's march started late

6
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 2>this morning outside Boston's Planned Parenthood in Alston, before making

7
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 2>the three mile journey to the Common. Police and riot

8
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:33.359
<v Speaker 2>gear we'reund in forced clearing the way for that march

9
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>and clashing with pro abortion counter demonstrators, some of them

10
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 2>in clown costumes. Police tell us a number of people

11
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>were taken into custody around Kenmore Square. We are expecting

12
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to learn more details from BPD soon. Keep it right

13
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 2>here on WBZ News Radio for the latest, and stream

14
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 2>us on the iHeartRadio app. It's another weekend on the

15
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 2>picket lines for teachers in Beverly, Gloucester and Marblehead. In Gloucester,

16
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 2>tensions seem to boil over, as WBZTV's Beth dromanas.

17
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Shameful, it really is shameful. Gloucester High School social worker

18
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Dan Graham saying the Tension between teachers and the city

19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 1>could not be higher, and got higher still when video

20
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>captured Mayor Greg Virga making an obscene gesture to a

21
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 1>chanting crowd as he left contract negotiations Thursday night.

22
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little shocked. I've been teaching in the school

23
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>for thirty one years, half of my life, and we

24
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 2>deserve better.

25
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 3>We tried to speak with the mayor ourselves, but he

26
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 3>sent out a video message of regret at what happened,

27
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 3>saying it was frustration directed at a former public safety

28
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 3>official he says hurled an insult.

29
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 2>He also says that his family feels threatened, sharing a

30
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 2>video of crowds protesting outside his home. And we are

31
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>watching closely for any developments in those contract talks. As

32
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>President Electromp builds his cabinet, there's some growing scrutiny around

33
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 2>the choice of now former Congressman Matt Gates for Attorney General.

34
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>It is unclear right now whether the House Ethics investigation

35
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>into sexual misconduct and drug allegations we'll ever see the

36
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>light of day.

37
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 4>Growing number of Republican Senators making it clear they want

38
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 4>to see the House Ethics Committee report into Trump's pick

39
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 4>for attorney General Matt Gates, sources telling us the committee

40
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 4>was preparing to vote to release that report as early

41
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 4>as this week, but then Gates resigned from Congress after

42
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 4>being nominated by Trump, abruptly ending their investigation. House Speaker

43
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Mike Johnson on Friday, after spending the night at Bar

44
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 4>Logo with President elect Trump, arguing, now the report should

45
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 4>be shell.

46
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.680
<v Speaker 2>That's ABC's Mary Alice Parks. The DOJ ended its own

47
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>probe without charging Gates last year. In Maine, Democratic US

48
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Congressman Jared Golden will keep his seat. The razor thin

49
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>race was finally called last night after a rank choice

50
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 2>run off. Golden has been facing a challenge from Republican

51
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Austin Terrio. The Ape s has Golden won by just

52
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>a tenth of a percent around seven hundred votes. Terrio's

53
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>campaign says they'll try for a recount. There are now

54
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>just a handful of undecided seats in the House, and

55
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>looking at the four day wbz ACU weather forecast, it

56
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 2>stays fairly nice out there this weekend, though the risk

57
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 2>for fires continues. Mainly clear tonight low forty two and brisk. Tomorrow,

58
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>we're up near sixty with sun and clouds, it's breezy.

59
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Then Monday, a mix of sun and clouds. It's again

60
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>mild and breezy, with a higher round fifty nine, mid

61
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 2>fifties and mostly sunny. On Tuesday, it's a mostly clear

62
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>sky right now over Boston, sixty one with the wind

63
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 2>out there making it feel like the mid upper fifties

64
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.840
<v Speaker 2>and a red flag warning in effect until six. I'm

65
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 2>in dangerously dry conditions across much of the state. We

66
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>do have an update on the brush fire situation. Mass

67
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.800
<v Speaker 2>DFS is listing more than a dozen significant active fires.

68
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Two of them are still less than fifty percent contained,

69
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>the Blaze and Boxford State Forest that's burned over one

70
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred acres, and in the Lynn Woods, where more than

71
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>four hundred acres have been torched meantime. Northwest of New

72
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>York City, there's concern that a wildfire that's torched of

73
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 2>acres could grow again.

74
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.280
<v Speaker 5>Dry, windy and warming conditions this weekend could complicate efforts

75
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 5>to bring a deadly wildfire burning across the New Jersey

76
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 5>New York border under control. The Jennings Creek fire has

77
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 5>scorched more than seven square miles. It's about ninety percent contained.

78
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>CBS's Dana Jacobson. There from southern Delaware up to Vermont

79
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 2>and New Hampshire, that red flag of warning is again

80
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>in effect. A ceremony in the Boston Harbor today commissions

81
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>a new naval warship. Wbz's Mike Macklin has the story.

82
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 6>It was a day of Navy pride in Charlestown, as

83
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 6>the shipyard that is home to the Navy's oldest commissioned warship,

84
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 6>the USS Constitution, host to the commissioning of the Navy's

85
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 6>newest warship, the USS Nantucket.

86
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 7>As we add the Nantucket to our roster, we are

87
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 7>giving our Navy new agility and reach essential for supporting

88
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 7>our interests in a world where competition and uncertainty are

89
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 7>the norm.

90
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 6>Vice Admiral Michael Boyle called the Nantucket a fast, flexible,

91
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 6>capable vessel of a twenty first century Navy. Boston Mayor

92
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 6>Michelle Wou told the ship's crew they carry on a

93
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 6>proud legacy, the.

94
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 5>Charge to uphold and protect the highest aspirations of our values,

95
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 5>to deter aggression, maintain freedom, and help us shape.

96
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>A world where peace is what we deserve.

97
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 6>The Nantucket will be based at the Mayport Naval Station

98
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 6>in Jacksonville, Florida. Mike Macklin, WBZ Boston's News Radio Wooster.

99
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Families are reacting after a fight at Burncote High School

100
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 2>yesterday sent one girl to the hospital. The district sent

101
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>a message to families expressing disappointment that instead of calling

102
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 2>for help, some students apparently recorded the fight on their

103
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 2>cell phones. This is being described as a fight between

104
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>two students. A girl was taken away in an ambulance.

105
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 2>There's no update right now on her condition. The students

106
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>involved in the fight will be facing discipline.

107
