00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:05.519
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio way, defining

2
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>local news seventy five degrees in Boston. It's eleven o'clock

3
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>on Monday morning. Thanks for joining us. I'm Nicole Davis.

4
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Here's what's happening. The hearing is underway right now in

5
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Boston Federal Court. Harvard is challenging more than two and

6
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.879
<v Speaker 1>a half million dollars in federal funding cuts. Here's the

7
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 1>AP's Jennifer King with Moore.

8
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>It's a pivotal moment in the university's battle against the

9
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 2>federal government. The university says the government's using the funding

10
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 2>as leveraged to control its academic decisions after they rejected

11
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 2>the demands in a letter from an anti semitism task force.

12
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>They wanted changes to Harvard policies on campus protest, admissions,

13
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 2>hiring in other matters. Harvard President Alan Garber pledged to

14
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.439
<v Speaker 2>fight anti semitism, but said no government should dictate what

15
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>private universities can teach, who they admit and hire, and

16
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 2>which areas of study and inquiry they pursue. The Trump

17
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 2>administration denies the cuts were made in retaliation and says

18
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>the government has Why does Russian to cancel contracts for

19
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.679
<v Speaker 2>policy reasons. I'm Jennifer King.

20
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>At noon, supporters of Harvard say they planned a rally

21
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>outside the courthouse. Be sure to stay here on WBZ

22
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>News Radio. We'll have all the latest, and of course

23
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 1>we're always streaming on the iHeartRadio app. Meantime, we're expecting

24
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 1>to get more information soon about the death of a

25
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>man in police custody on the streets of Haverol, Essex County.

26
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 2>D A.

27
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Paul Tucker is holding him. Briefing this hour on the

28
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>investigation into the death of Francis Jigliotti. So ill played

29
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:30.120
<v Speaker 1>out back on the eleventh. Police called to the area

30
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 1>by Bradford's seafood Jigliotti reportedly acting erradically, wandering into traffic.

31
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Minutes later, he was seen on video screaming for help.

32
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 1>Lying on the ground. Multiple Haverol police officers were holding

33
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>him down and couffing him. Jigliotti died soon after. In Washington,

34
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 1>some House Republicans say they want more transparency with the

35
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein case.

36
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>A group of House Republicans now joining Democrats pushing for

37
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 3>a vote to compel the government to release more of

38
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.560
<v Speaker 3>the Jeffrey Epstein files. The proposed resolution would carry no

39
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 3>legal wait but demonstrates the bipartisan push for more transparency.

40
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Days after President Trump ordered the Justice Department to request

41
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 3>the release of grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's sex

42
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 3>trafficking case. Releasing grand jury records could take time and

43
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 3>require a judge's approval, and legal experts say the transcripts

44
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>may not reveal any new details and likely cover only

45
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 3>a fraction of the evidence gathered.

46
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>That is, the ABC's Nicole D'Antonio with that update and

47
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>striking sanitation workers for Republic Services remain on the picket

48
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>line this morning, and trash is still piling up in

49
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 1>more than a dozen cities and towns around Greater Boston

50
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>because of it. This afternoon, attorneys for six of those

51
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 1>cities in towns are doing Salem Superior Court. They claim

52
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 1>the company is in breach of contract by not somehow

53
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 1>getting the trash picked up, and they want a judge

54
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>to force the company to get it done. Reps for

55
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the company, Republic and the Teamsters Local twenty five, last

56
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>meeting back on Friday with a federal mediator. The talk's

57
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>not going anywhere after that meeting. Republic says their offer

58
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 1>is competitive. The union says the company is negotiating in

59
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>bad faith. And for the rest of the afternoon, it

60
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a beautiful Monday out there. If

61
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>there's any way you can maybe pop out for a

62
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>lunch Alfresco or just kind of take the laptop outside,

63
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I definitely recommend it. It's not that humid. It's going

64
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>to be nice and warm, but not too hot. Temperatures

65
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>right now for most of us in the seventies, and

66
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>we have a bit of a breezy day right now.

67
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>That wind from the north northwest about fifteen to twenty

68
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 1>miles an hour, So if you do eat outside, just

69
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 1>be sure to hold down all the napkins so they

70
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 1>don't go flying. For tonight, clear skies, low near fifty

71
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>if you're north in west of Boston. Sixty or so

72
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>in the city and on the coast. For your Tuesday Tomorrow,

73
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>sunny skies with a high in the upper seventies. Wednesday,

74
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>mix of sun and clouds and a high in the

75
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>low to mid eighties. Cooler in southeastern mass warming up

76
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 1>and getting more humid on Thursday and Friday, with highs

77
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.719
<v Speaker 1>in the nineties seventy six degrees in Fall River, seeing

78
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 1>seventy four in Framingham, seventy two in Amesbury. In Boston.

79
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 1>Right now, at eleven oh five it is partly cloudy

80
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>and seventy five degrees.

81
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 3>Well.

82
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.199
<v Speaker 1>Sleep does a body good, of course, especially when that

83
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 1>body is still growing. And if a new school start

84
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 1>time bill moves forward on Beacon Hill, it might soon

85
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 1>be easier for kids to make sure they can get

86
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>that necessary shut eye.

87
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 4>As we all know, sleep is king when it comes

88
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 4>to preparing ourselves for a healthy lifestyle.

89
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 1>He gets six thirty right now. Who doesn't want to

90
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>get out of bud.

91
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 4>Jerry from Hingham is a third grader. When I talked

92
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 4>about school start times, the later the better.

93
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>And we start bad at eight o'clock at night.

94
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.279
<v Speaker 4>Right now, there's a bill on Beacon Hill that would

95
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 4>have new statewide school start times no earlier than eight

96
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 4>am for middle schools and eight thirty for high schools.

97
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 3>I already take three kids to three different places.

98
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 4>John from Handover's a busy dad during the school year,

99
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 4>to say the least.

100
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>And so my work day starts a lot later.

101
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 4>He's in favor of the chain. Luckily I'm flexible or

102
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 4>not Right now, it's still in the works, and if

103
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 4>it does get the green light in the Governor's signature,

104
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 4>it would go into effect in twenty twenty eight. Jim

<v Speaker 4>mcka WVZ, Boston's News radio.

106
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 1>There are almost two hundred and seventy five assisted living

107
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>facilities here in Massachusetts, and by the end of the week,

108
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>each and every one will have to file a report

109
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 1>on its fire safety protocols. Governor Healy is rolling out

110
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 1>what she calls a fire and life safety initiative for

111
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 1>these centers. Each facility will have to send letters to

112
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>families and state officials detailing their safety plans in case

113
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 1>of emergency. They'll also have to take a survey to

114
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 1>see if they're complying with safety requirements like working sprinklers.

115
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>All this in response to the deadly fire in Fall

116
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>River that tore through the Gabriel House assisted living center.

117
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Ten people were killed in that fire. In Gaza, Dozens

118
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.160
<v Speaker 1>they're dead, many more wounded after Israeli troops opened fire

119
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>near a crowd trying to get food at an AID

120
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.639
<v Speaker 1>site yesterday. Here's ABC's Ian Pannell.

121
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 5>At least eighty Palestinians killed in more than one hundred

122
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 5>and fifty injured. According to hospital officials, we raised our

123
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 5>hands like this, this man says, signaling we were peaceful.

124
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 5>Then they started firing at us. Israel disputes this number,

125
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 5>but he's investigating what happened. World Food Program condemning the

126
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.439
<v Speaker 5>incidents as a new low point the idea of insisting

127
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 5>they fired to remove an immediate threat, but they haven't

128
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 5>said what the threat was.

129
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Meantime, Gaza's Health ministry says the Palestinian death toll has

130
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 1>surpassed fifty nine thousand after more than twenty one months

131
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>of war between Israel and Hamas. You are now in Malu.
