00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 2>a long holiday weekend. We're under cloudy skies this morning

<v Speaker 2>on the men's college basketball sides tip off today.

32
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 4>The first game is a showdown of two teams that

33
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 4>folks around here likely haven't heard of, Saint Francis of

34

<v Speaker 2>News radio, The Stadium Showdown heads to court this morning,

40
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 2>but the judge delivers a blow already to a Boston neighborhood.

41
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm here at White Stadium. This is what the City

42
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>of Boston and the Emerald Necklace Conservancy are going head

43
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 1>to head over in court. This year long battle involving

44
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>lawsuits and campaigns both for and against the public private

45
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 1>partnership with a professional women's soccer team has culminated to

46
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 1>this point.

47
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 5>Now.

48
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 1>The latest twist in the story came Monday, when a

49
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>judge rolled against the plaintiffs, dismissing one of the two

50
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>major claims of a lawsuit which accused the City of

51
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Boston of violating the terms of a public charitable trust

52

<v Speaker 1>at White Stadium. James Rojas w b Z Boston's News Radios.

53
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>Twenty four hours ago, at this very moment, it was

54
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 2>pouring rain and much of the eastern side, much of

55
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts really, and the heaviest rain was still to come.

56
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>This morning, it's much different still, some clouds in the air,

57
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>thirty nine degrees right now. We will see some sunshine

58
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 2>emerging before long, and temperatures will jump into the lower fifties.

59
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 2>It will be a breezy day today. In fact, if

60
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>your travels are taking into the Cape and Islands, it's

61
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>not going to get out of the forties. These are

62
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 2>the final days of the winter season and it's really

63
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be above average. Temperatures for this time of year.

64
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 2>Will be in the mid fifties again tomorrow with a

65
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 2>mix of sun and clouds, and then on the first

66
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>day of spring coming up on Thursday, it looks like

67
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 2>it's going to rain. Temps will be in the fifties.

68
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Looks like it's going to be a little bit colder

69
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 2>though as we head towards the weekend. Once again, on Friday,

70
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>temperatures will be stuck in the forties, but we rebound

71
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>nicely coming up this weekend. Right now in Boston, cloudy

72
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 2>skies and thirty nine degrees this Tuesday morning, it's six

73
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>oh five. Marine scientists can sleep a little easier these days.

74
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 5>Experts say the endangered North Atlantic right whale population seems

75
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 5>to be making a comeback. Officials with the Center for

76
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 5>Coastal Studies say they've seen more right whales return to

77
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 5>Cape Cod Bay this season than in recent memory. They've

78
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.360
<v Speaker 5>counted more than fifty new animals in a population that

79
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.759
<v Speaker 5>is believed to be numbered at fewer than four hundred worldwide.

80
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 5>Researchers credit new shipping regulations for saving the lives of

81
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 5>right whales. This after the Center spotted the first right

82
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 5>whale of the season off the coast of Massachusetts. Earlier

83
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 5>this month, thirty one year old Nauset and her calf, Jaywill,

84
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 5>led WBZ, Boston's news radio. The EPA is cutting ties

85
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 5>with its largest division. More than one thousand scientists with

86
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 5>the Office of Research and Development will be laid off.

87
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 5>It is the latest target in a government wide reduction

88
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.439
<v Speaker 5>in force campaign. EPA chief Lee Zelden says he plans

89
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 5>to cut the entire agency's budget by sixty five percent,

90
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 5>and this elimination will wipe out most chemists, biologists, and others.

91
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 5>Critics say this will leave the nation short on air

92
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 5>quality monitoring, the cleanup of toxic sites, and leave US

93
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 5>short unclean water sources.

94
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 6>Well.

95
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Today's day, President Trump and Russias Vladimir Putin aren't expected

96
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 2>to talk on the phone in hopes of coming to

97
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 2>a consensus on a cease fire agreement in Ukraine. Ukrainian

98
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 2>President Vladimir Zelensky has already agreed to the terms issued

99
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 2>by the United States. It is not clear specifically what

100
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>the President has on his mind today, but it is

101
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 2>believed that a territory exchange will be a key part

102
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.879
<v Speaker 2>of any agreement. Skeptics, including Zelensky, say Putin's demands might

103
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 2>make it next to impossible to achieve a real and

104
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 2>lasting cease fire meantime. A new NBC News poll finds

105
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>most Americans favor Ukraine over Russia, but almost half of

106
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>those surveyed say President Trump sides with Vladimir Putin. No

107
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 2>more Secret Service protection for former President Joe Biden's adult children.

108
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 2>President Trump cuts off the detail effective immediately for Hunter

109
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Biden and his sister Ashley, cutting short mister Biden's executive

110
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 2>order by three months. It is customary for close relatives

111
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 2>of the outgoing first family to receive Secret Service protection

112
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 2>for a limited time after leaving office. Former presidents and

113
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>First ladies receive lifetime protection. Well Grammy Award winning singer
