20

Speaker 4: Late night Sunday session on Capitol Hill. Just enough Democrats

21

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 4: for the government through the end of January. Eight senators

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 4: breaking with their party to vote for the compromise, which

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 4: does not include Democrats' key demand to extend Obamacare subsidies

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 4: and prevent premiums from skyrocketing, the very demand that led

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 4: to the government shut down in the first place.

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,560

Speaker 3: Morning. Jeffrey Yes, Senator at Marqui with an overnight statement,

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: it reads the government will reopen one step forward, twenty

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: two million steps back. It's a massive mistake, he says,

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: to strip tens of millions of people of their health

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: insurance and outright betrayal of what families needed. He adds,

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: a better future is still possible, but only if we

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: turn our anger into action.

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of confusion over where things stand today.

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: In fact, the snap benefit payments, which have already begun

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: arriving in Massachusetts, will continue to do so this week,

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: even though the President of the White House says stop

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: those payments or else a lot of unanswered questions, lots unpacked.

45
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: We hope we'll have some answers early this week, and

46
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: as soon as we know, you'll know here at WBZ,

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, Andrew. Frustrated travelers at the nation's airports brace

48
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: themselves for more delays and more cancelations today as the

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: FAA continues its flight grounding campaign. The current four percent

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: reduction is expected to incrementally increase this week until ten

51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: percent of flights are affected in an effort to bring

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: safety to the skies and overloaded air traffic controllers, who,

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: by the way, will go without a second paycheck as

54
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: of tomorrow. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says if the shutdown continues,

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: travelers can expect flights to be reduced to a trickle

56
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: by Thanksgiving week, and already on the board at Logan

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: Airport this morning fifty plus cancelations cross country. That number

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: is standing at fifteen hundred cancelations this morning and road

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: Warriors might not be caught beside the twenty to ten

60
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: and the rookie takes it.

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: Home for the touchdowns.

00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: up towards sixty degrees, and the rain is going to

70
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: become a little bit steadier and heavier as the day

71
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: progresses as well. Now overnight tonight some clearing skies. It's

72
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: going to get cold as this trough of cold air

73
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: dips down from the Arctic and will be right around

74
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,760

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,040

81
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: stuck around freezing all day. It's some of the coldest

82
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: air that we've seen this year, and that continues on

83
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,640

84
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,279
