00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: Mostly Sonny and twenty two degrees were the real feel

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: of twelve in Boston at eleven o'clock. Good morning, I'm

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Kyle Bray. Thank you for joining us. And here's what's happening.

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: It's Unwelcome's site to start the new year for millions

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: of Americans. Subsidies for health insurance purchased through the Affordable

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: Care Act have officially expired. ABC's Perry Russum reports.

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 3: Millions of Americans are starting the new year with skyrocketing

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 3: healthcare premiums. COVID air attacks credits tied to the Affordable

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 3: Care Act have now expired for some twenty million Americans.

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: Their premiums are expected to jump by an average of

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 3: one hundred and fourteen percent, according to the nonpartisan Kaiser

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: Family Foundation.

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: The fight over the subsidies led to last year's record

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: long government shutdown. The House is expected to vote next

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: week on a measure that extends the subsidy, but it's

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: unclear if that will be taken up in the Senate.

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: In a new interview, President Trump shed some light on

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: the state of his health. CBS's ed O'Keefe has more.

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 4: The White House has insisted Trump's hands bruised because he

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 4: meets and greets so many people.

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 5: The President is literally constantly shaking hands. The Oval Office

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 5: is like Grand Central Terminal.

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 4: But he told the Wall Street Journal it's because he

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 4: takes too much asprit, which can cause the bruising, and

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: that he's ignored doctor recommendations. He switched from his current

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: dose of three hundred and twenty five milligrams to a

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 4: suggested lower dose.

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: The president also made a clarification that his most recent

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: checkup in October was for a CT scan and not

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: an MRI. A new report from Transit Police finds that

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: crime on the MBTA was down fourteen percent last year.

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: The data looked at incidents between January first and December fifteenth,

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: and both twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five. The

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: biggest changes came in categories relating to theft. Robberies on

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: the tee were down twenty six percent, larseny was down

37
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: twenty percent, and auto theft was down. The number of

38
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: aggravated assaults and sexual assaults were up slightly, just three

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: and one incident, respectively. The report calls for a five

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: year plan for the future that includes hiring more officers

41
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: and helping them with de escalation training. Firefighters in Norfolk

42
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: are being praised for their quick action to save a

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: man who was walking into a station while choking. This

44
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: happened last Sunday afternoon. A man walked into the station

45
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: on Main Street. Firefighter paramedic Sam Brady quickly jumped into

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: action and did the Heimlich maneuver to clear his airway.

47
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: Turns out the man had been driving and pulled over

48
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: when he started choking. Fire Chief Aaron Kenney praised Brady

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: and his colleagues for their quick thinking, saying that they

50
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: are always ready for anything. To be mostly sunny today,
