00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 2: Twenty eight degrees in Boston. We've got some fog in

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: the city. At eleven o'clock. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis.

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: Here is what's happening over in Washington Capitol Hill. Lawmakers

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: still divided over the legality of the US raid on

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: Venezuela and the capture of its post president Nicholas Madoro

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: during an emergency meeting at the United Nations. Some of

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: America's closest allies have expressed alarm over the ordeal. Yesterday,

9
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseav and other top members of the

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: security team have briefed top lawmakers. Here CBS is Nicole.

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: Killian lawmakers split mostly along party lined over the justification

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: and scope of the operation, while others expressed concern that

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: Congress was not notified beforehand.

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: Without question, this is war.

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: But in a new interview with NBC News, President Trump

16
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: interested the US world not at war with Venezuela. No,

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: we're not, he said, We're at war with people that

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 3: sell drugs, were at war with people that empty their

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: prison into our country.

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: In the same interview, the President also announced that Venezuela

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: will not have new elections in the next thirty days.

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: At eleven oh one. It was on this day five

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: years ago when chaos broke out.

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 4: Why will to rest our lives?

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Do you understand?

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: After a rally with President Trump near the Capitol Building,

27
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: supporters of the president attacked police and tore their way

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: into the capital complex. They were trying to stop the

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: certification of Democrat Joe Biden's presidential victory, which they maintained

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: was stolen. Members of Congress forced to evacuate, some trashed

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: offices and stole objects. Those officers attacked are supposed to

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: be honored at the Capitol with a plaque, but mc

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: stephen Portnoy says it's still not up.

34
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: A law passed in twenty twenty two requires the posting

35
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 5: of a plaque on the west front of the Capitol

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 5: facing the National Mall, listing the names of each of

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 5: the law enforcement officers who responded to the riot. A

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 5: law called for that plaque's posting within a year. Nearly

39
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 5: four years later, it's still not up. A lawsuit was

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: filed last summer by two police officers aiming to force

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 5: the architect of the Capital to install the plaque. The

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 5: Trump administration is now seeking its dismissal, saying the two

43
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 5: officers don't have standing to sue now.

44
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: On Capitol Hill right now, an unofficial hearing is being

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: held by Democrats over the Capital riot five years ago.

46
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: Some of the now pardoned rioters are recreating their same

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: march today, but they say this time it will be peaceful,

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: and your upcoming ballot in November could potentially be packed

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: with some state ballot questions. Secretary of State Bill Galvin

50
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: has certified two more petitions that now brings the total

51
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: to eleven potential questions that could hit the ballot. New

52
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: approvals involving smaller lots for starter homes and land conservation.

53
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: The proposals are being sent to lawmakers on Beacon Hill.

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: They have until May fifth to potentially take action. If

55
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: they don't, then the work for the petitioners is not

56
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: quite done. They then have to gather more than twelve

57
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: thousand new signatures to ensure the questions get on that back. Now,

58
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: we have a winter weather advisory up from seven o'clock

59
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: tonight through ten o'clock tomorrow morning. This except for southeastern Massachusetts,

60
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: the South Coast capean islands. That's because today we're seeing

61
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: some fog in sun, but more clouds are going to

62
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: start to move in and then we are going to

63
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 2: start to see temperatures drop as rain develops. And right

Speaker 2: outside one twenty eight to the north and west, a

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: lot of this could turn into freezing rain for a time,

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: So getting around in the later part of the afternoon

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: and evening commute tonight could be a little bit slick,

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: especially on your driveway, sidewalks, on and off ramps, bridges,

69
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: so on and so forth. Crews are going to be

76
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,040

Speaker 6: one point four percent increase over the rate from twenty

94
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 6: twenty four. The click at or ticket strategy has led

95
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 6: to a rising rate of seat belt use for three

96

Speaker 2: vaccines is putting the health and well being of kids

103
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: at risk. The centers this week have reduced the number

104
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: of recommended routine childhood vaccines from eighteen down to eleven.

105
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,799

106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: rhotavirus RSV, hepatitis A and B, and meningitis. Now, families

107
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: can still get the shots for their kids, but they're

108
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: just no longer routinely going to be recommended. But that's

Speaker 2: something Public Health Commissioner Robbie Goldstein says, quote abandons decades

110
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: of rigorous, evidence based science. Federal health officials say they're

111
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: doing this because Americans have lost trust in vaccine schedules.

112
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: That has led to a decline in important vaccinations like polio,

113
