23
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: up in the morning, he told us. But is there

24
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: a concern that if the United States engages in Venezuela

25
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: that Puerto Rico might become a target? Mida. I mean

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: right now, the United States is the most powerful in

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: the world, he told us. Having them here taken care

28
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,720

Speaker 2: Boston's Tammy Mutasa has details.

33
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: Airlines only have to cut three percent of their flights,

34
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 4: down from the six percent which was mandated. During the

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: longest government shut down ever. Thousands of flights were affected,

36
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: including Ant's flight to Disney last week.

37
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 5: A week made a huge difference.

38
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 4: Yes, Florida airports were actually crazy air so on Sunday

39
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 4: we ended up having a one hour delay. Officials say

40
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 4: the rollback comes as staffing levels for air traffic controllers

41
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 4: have improved since they missed two paychecks during this dalemate.

42
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: There. If your travel coming up from me as well,

43
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: and I don't want them to get delayed.

44
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: Some will choose to avoid the skies and hit the

45
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 4: road instead.

46
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: Just in case, I am a little concerned.

47
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 4: How long will it take for the entire aviation system

48
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: to completely stabilize.

49
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,919

Speaker 2: delays and ten cancelations. The forecast cloudy and breezy, with

52
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: the rain developing over night, ending by morning lows in

53
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: the forties. Mostly cloudy and windy. Tomorrow, highs near fifty

54
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: five early, but then temps drop into the forties in

55
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: the afternoon. On Monday, a mix of sun and clouds

56
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: and windy, with a high near forty five. Those real

57
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: field temps in the thirties. On Tuesday, mostly sunny and breezy,

58
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: with a high of forty seven. Right now in Boston

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: we have mostly clear skies and forty five degrees. It's

60
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: a good year to be a river Herring. WBC's Emma

61
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: Friedman explains.

62
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 5: Each year the River Herringham bark on a journey, and

63
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: this year things have been going especially well.

64
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 6: We had our highest number since we've started monitoring the migration.

65
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 6: In twenty twelve, over eight hundred and fifteen thousand herring

66
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 6: passed through Boston Harbor up the Mystic River as part

67
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 6: of their annual migration.

68
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 5: Naria Santalani is the senior engagement manager at the Mystic

69
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 5: River Watershed Association. She says the news is really exciting

70
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 5: for the organization because river herring are really ecologically important

71
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 5: and in the past overfishing has caused a population problem.

72
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 5: They're a big part of both freshwater and marine food

73
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 5: webs because they make the migration from freshwater to have

74
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 5: their babies each year.

75
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 6: They're a food staple for indigenous people as well as

76
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 6: used to enrich soil for crops. Alewife t Station is

77
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 6: named Alewife because of this fish. And on top of

78
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 6: all that, it's just amazing that the largest hairy migration

79
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 6: in Massachusetts happens in the most urban watershed.

80
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 5: I'm a freedman. W b Z, Boston's news radio.

81
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: Former vice president Kamala Harris was in Medford today to

82
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,920

83
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: a memoir about Harris's failed twenty twenty four presidential campaign.

84
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: After her running made and former President Joe Biden announced

85

87
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,600

Speaker 7: two point two million bucks. We don't know who it

95
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 7: is yet, but somebody walked into a public supermarket out

00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 7: on Highway twenty nine in Newnham, Georgia, thirty miles or

97
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 7: so outside of Atlanta, and purchased a ticket, choosing all
