Speaker 1: at twenty five miles an hour, gusting up to forty.

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: You do the math. It feels more like the mid

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: twenties out there. It's sunny, though, so that helps. It's

6

Speaker 1: The Cohacit man is accused of killing his wife Anna

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: almost three years ago, dismembering her body, and then disposing

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: of it. Her body still has not been found. The

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: prosecutors say he also allegedly misled police during the investigation.

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: Now Whilesh spent several weeks at Bridgewater State Hospital. In

Speaker 1: Jerry's selection starts tomorrow could last up to two weeks.

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: The trial is set to start December first, at eleven

Speaker 1: oh one and about face now from President Trump, who

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: is incouraging House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files.

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: A vote is expected tomorrow, as we hear from ABC's

00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,920

00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: Congressman Thomas Massey, the lead Republican co sponsor of the bill,

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: says he expects strong GOP support, saying lawmakers must choose

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: between the political protection of the president and the expectations

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: of their constituents.

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 3: You will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: vote to release these files.

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: If this vote passes in the House, it would still

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: need to clear the Senate, and Trump is unlikely to

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 2: sign it.

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 4: Congressman Massi says.

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: He's hoping to get a veto proof majority on the

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: legislation when the House votes.

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: Meantime, when the government shutdown is now over and it's

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: back to normal for many airports around the country, your

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: CBS's Jesse Mitchell.

36
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 5: Flight schedules in US airports began returning to normal over

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 5: the weekend as the FAA east flight restrictions it had

38
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 5: previously imposed because of the government shutdown. Starting today, airlines

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 5: will no longer be required to reduce flights in and

40
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 5: out of forty major US airports. Shutdown related flight restrictions

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 5: contributed to thousands of cancelations and delays in the past week,

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 5: the worst day being last Sunday, when nearly three thousand

43
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 5: flights were canceled.

44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: Now here in Boston over the weekend. On Saturday, Secretary

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security Christy Nome was at Logan giving TSA

46
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: workers ten thousand dollars bonuses for their perfect attendance during

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: the shutdown. Now, TRIPAA says we're on the verge of

48
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: a record breaking holiday travel season. Here's ABC's GEO Benitez

49
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: with more on that.

50
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 6: They expect nearly eighty two million Americans to travel this

51
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 6: holiday period. That's actually one point six million more than

52
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 6: last year. You remember that was record breaking. This is

53
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 6: a new record now. So no matter how you're planning

54
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 6: to travel, it's a really good idea to schedule that

55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 6: travel for early in the morning. That way you can

56
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 6: avoid a lot of the hassle later on.

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Now, out of the almost eighty two million Americans expected

58
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: to travel for Turkey Day, more than six million are

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: expected to fly. That, by the way, is up by

60
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: about two percent from last year, and that means the

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: rest of us are stuck on the roads and we're

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: looking at a couple of flurries in the berkshars when

63
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: it comes to the forecast, though, those should start to

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: clear up. Otherwise we're looking okay, just some clouds out there.

65
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: The big weather story of the day today is once

66
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: again the wind. Seems like for the past couple of

67
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: weeks it's just been super blustery out there, and today

68
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: is certainly no exception. Right now, it's blowing from the

69
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: west at about twenty thirty miles an hour from many

70
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: of us and gusting up to about forty. So you

71
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: add that to the chilly temperatures that are struggling to

72
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: leave the thirties. Most of us have a wind chill

73
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: right now of about twenty five to thirty and it's

74
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,279
Speaker 1: going to stay that way for the rest of the afternoon.

75
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Then for tonight, clear and breezy, low just about freezing

76
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: in Boston, upper twenties Inland. For tomorrow, mostly sunny, windy again,

77
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: a high in the mid forties. Again, could feel a

78
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: bit cooler than that Wednesday and Thursday, mix of sun

79
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: and clouds, and we've got a high in the mid forties.

80
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: Could have a bit of rain on Friday. Right now,

81
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: it's thirty seven degrees in dan Verse, thirty five in

00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: all Burn. We're thirty nine in Wareham. In Boston. Right now,

83
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: at eleven oh five it is thirty nine degrees, but

84
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: again with that wind from the west northwest at twenty

85
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: one miles an hour gusting to thirty five, it feels

86
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: more like twenty four outside.

87
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:15,640

Speaker 7: but we are under attack and are losing our lives.

96
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: Several hundred of the mini flags are waving on the Common,

97
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: each one representing a transperson lost to violence in the

00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,760

Speaker 7: This event is more for the public and not just

100
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,400

Speaker 1: People need to know that we're here, We're not going anywhere,

105
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,680

00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: detained by ICE tell WBZ News Radio two of those

110
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: workers are expected to be free today. Attorney Todd Palmerlowe

111
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: says two of the workers were granted bond by a

112
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: federal judge this morning after being denied bond by an

113
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,080

114
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: warrant or even a civil ICE detainer when the arrests

115
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: were made. He calls their detainment unconstitutional. Now in a statement,

117
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: and says the arrests came through law enforcement intelligence, not

118
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: by a quote silly rumor. That rumor appears to be

119
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: a reference to the Boston University student who bragged on

120
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: social media recently that he had reported that car wash

121
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,520
