00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.479

00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>group doesn't take advantage of the chaos in Syria. US

<v Speaker 1>regime for far, far too long. CBS News special report,

25
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm Christopher Cruz.

26
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 2>President elect Donald Trump is calling for an immediate ceasefire

27
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>in Ukraine one day after meeting with President Zelenski. Mister

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Trump says Kiev would like to make a deal. In

29
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 2>a post online. Meantime, the Pentagon has pledged another major

30
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>military aid package.

31
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm proud to announce today the commitment of a new

32
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 3>Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative package worth nearly one billion dollars.

33
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.239
<v Speaker 2>And that was Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin speaking at the

34
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Reagan Nash Defense Forum in California. A Boston man's facing

35
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.239
<v Speaker 2>charges after shots rang out in the South End last night.

36
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Police say it was a road rage incident at the

37
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 2>intersection of East Berkeley and Harrison. Av Officers responding around

38
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty pm. The suspect allegedly shot at another driver's

39
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>car after an argument escalated. There's no word of any injuries,

40
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>but that other car was damaged. Jayir Fortado is expected

41
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>to face assault and gun charges in court tomorrow. Westford

42
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>officers are investigating, alongside state police and police from the

43
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>US Capitol, after a bomb threat targeting Massachusetts Congresswoman Laurie

44
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 2>Trehan and her family. That is according to the rep

45
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 2>who made a post on social media yesterday. It is

46
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 2>confirmed now by state police, who tell us they determined

47
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>there was no credible threat. It appears to have been

48
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 2>just the latest in a string of hoaxes targeting politicians

49
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 2>around the country. And looking at the fourt A WBZ

50
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 2>ACI weather forecast, patchy clouds tonight with a low around

51
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven degrees. We start off sunny tomorrow, but clouds

52
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 2>move in, followed by some rain arriving late Monday and

53
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>continuing at night. Now, if you're well north or west

54
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>of town, that rain could start off with some ice

55
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 2>or snow mixed in. In Boston, though we will see

56
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>temps get into the mid forties tomorrow. Tomorrow night it

57
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 2>stays pretty wet, and then lingering drizzle starts off Tuesday.

58
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>We should stay dry for the most part. It's cloudy

59
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>though with some areas of fog. Hies around forty five,

60
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>but the rain returns Tuesday night and gets steadier as

61
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the night goes on. Soaking rain around for Wednesday, with

62
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>potential flooding in low lying and poor drainage areas. Very

63
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 2>mild too, as the temps near sixty degrees. It's forty

64
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.840
<v Speaker 2>eight right now in Boston, feeling like the upper thirties

65
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>with a chili breeze and a mostly cloudy sky. It's

66
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.120
<v Speaker 2>four oh five. There was a festive treat for passers

67
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.680
<v Speaker 2>by in the streets of downtown Boston. Today. Wbz's Kyle

68
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Schaffel explains.

69
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:10.680
<v Speaker 3>The Harvard University Band is spreading the cheer downtown. More

70
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 3>than a dozen band members dressed in Harvard maroon coats

71
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 3>and played holiday classics, part of an annual tradition for

72
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 3>the students around this time of year. The people were

73
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 3>left sufficiently cheerful.

74
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>It's so cool.

75
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

76
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 2>It's so like seasonal. We love the holidays so effective.

77
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 3>Nick or Placed Trombone says, it's important to spread a

78
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:29.639
<v Speaker 3>little joy this time of year.

79
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:29.879
<v Speaker 2>You know.

80
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 3>I think as a student you can often feel like

81
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 3>kind of trapped on campus.

82
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>You don't really see what's going on around here.

83
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 3>So anytime we can get out in the city and

84
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 3>like see everybody spread music, I think that's a great

85
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 3>time for Kyle Schaffel to be busy.

86
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Bosster's huge radio hundred's turned out in Gloucester this weekend

87
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>for an estate sale at the now former home of

88
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>an embattled celebrity chef Boston restauranteur, Barbara Lynch. The Globe

89
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>says there were countless items up for grabs, including cookbooks,

90
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>chef's coats, aprons, kitchenware, furniture, art, and clothes. Lynch had

91
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 2>been a mainstay of the local restaurant's scene before a

92
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.360
<v Speaker 2>series of legal controversies, a class action lawsuit from two

93
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>former employees who claimed she failed to pay out tips.

94
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Several former employees also accused her of behaving inappropriately in

95
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>creating a toxic work environment. Lynch denies the allegations. Last month,

96
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.959
<v Speaker 2>she was sued by the City of Boston over unpaid

97
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 2>property taxes. It's a sign of the season snow plow

98
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>naming contests. Submissions are open for mas dot's third annual contest,

99
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 2>and a contest is wrapped up just outside Washington d C.

100
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>We take a look at the winners with CBS's Christopher Cruz.

101
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.759
