Speaker 3: a deep freeze this morning. Here it's not as bad,

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 3: but you know what, it's bad enough. It's haatten gloves weather,

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: just like that overnight something that isn't lost on them.

19

Speaker 4: It gets real cold, real quick.

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,760

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: A nearly twenty degree difference in just twenty four hours.

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: And when you add in that wind, well, I'm crying

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 3: right now.

25
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: Could the winds.

26
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: Gossip up to thirty miles per hour today? Which makes

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 3: season low temperatures in the thirties feel more like they're

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: in the twenties, teens and some spots A chilling, clear

29
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,480

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,640

31
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: around the corner.

32
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 3: I don't like Winston.

33
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,360

00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: forward to it at all.

35
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: And Chris Falm a WBZ Boston's news radio another late

36
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: night on Capitol Hill as senators formally okay of plans

37
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: that would end the government shutdown. Misery, however, continues at

38
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: Logan and airports around the nation as the FAA's grounding

39
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: campaign grinds on.

40
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: Emma and Octavian from Michigan ended up spending an extra

41
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: day and extra money in Boston, so we were supposed

42
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: to go home yesterday. Yeah, it did suck. The big

43
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: gut canceled. My biggest concern that I had was for

44
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: people that you don't have the fine natural capacity to

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: be able to take the cushion.

46
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: Because there was like an extra three hundred dollars essentially

47
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 4: just for us to find a new hotel and scramble.

48
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: And at Logan's terminal A James Rojas wb Z, Boston's

50
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 3: So far this morning, close to eighty cancelations and delays

51
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: on the board, according to flight Aware, this before six

52
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning. Some sixteen hundred flights affected nationwide

53
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: already and at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day

54
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: of the eleventh month. America celebrates its veterans today.

55
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 5: Petrian William Shuttleworth Air Force, now seventy seven years old,

56
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 5: is not happy and he's calling out his country.

57
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Losing sites and focus and respect for the veterans that

58
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: made America what it is today.

59
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 5: Healthcare continues to be a battle for veterans. Suicide rates

60
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 5: are staggering, job opportunity as well, He says, the country

61
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 5: needs to do better.

62
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: I think every American should sit down with their congressman

63
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: of send a letter or talk to the neighbors, say

64
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: who in our neighborhood is a veteran? We do to

65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: help them more small act of mercy and gratitude. Can

66
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: we extend.

67
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: Simple things work too, buy a meal, make sure that

68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 5: veteran near you has wood to help heat the house.

69
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 5: You can probably think of a bunch of things. Drew

Speaker 5: maholland WBZ Boston's News.

71
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: Ready several twenty degree readings on the weather map this morning,

72
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: but I also see a couple of areas where we're

73
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: in the teens, like the Worcester Hills and out in

74
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: portions of the Berkshire's very cold this morning. Here in Boston.

75
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: It's thirty five degrees and the wind is blowing at

76
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: gusts topping twenty miles per hour, So it does feel

77
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: like we're in the twenties right now. And we're going

78
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: to see some sunshine today mixing with the clouds, but

79
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: it's going to be a windy day. Temperas will struggle

80
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: to get into the lower forties, but the ACI Weather

81
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: real field temperatures will make it seem like it's right

82
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: around the freezing mark for much of the day today.

83
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: It's kind of a rude awakening, I realize. But for

84
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: the rest of this week, it looks like daytime highs

85
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: are expected to only be in the forties. It looks

86
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: like it's going to be relatively dry, but we cannot

87
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: rule out a couple of rain dropson, perhaps a couple

88
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: of snowflakes later on today, later on this week. It's

89
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: not going to be as harsh as we continue on,

90
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: but daytime highs will largely be in the forties. Right

91
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: now in Boston thirty five and it's a struggle on

92
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: this Tuesday morning at six oh five, it is going

93
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: to be electric on the Merrimack River.

94
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 4: The first of the thirty three foot e Fairies will

95
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: have pilot runs next year, after Merrimack Valley Transit signed

96
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 4: a three million dollar contract to make it happen. The

97
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: ferries will be designed by Lyman Morse Boat Building of Maine,

98
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 4: drifting between haverl and newbury Port, with an in between

99
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: an Amesbury and possible stops at Salisbury Beach and Plum Island.

100
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: The ferries are one hundred percent electric, zero emission aluminum

101
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: water taxi's looking something like catamarans with space to accommodate

102
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 4: twenty two passengers at a time. They're hoping to have

103
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 4: full service up and running in twenty twenty seven. Jay

Speaker 3: Once again, no Winter, no Chicken, dinner. Now the Powerball

106
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 3: jackpot will be worth an estimated half a billion dollars

107
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: in tomorrow night's drawing all the marbles in Tonight's Mega

108
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: Million's top prize top nine hundred million. No one has

109
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: hit either in months, and while many Americans say they've

110
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: got lottery fatigue over frequent big ticket prizes, someone's got

111
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: to win sometime right. Nurses are making a comeback in Massachusetts.

112
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: The mass Nurses Association says the worst of a recent

113
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: shortage in hospitals and medical centers appears to be over

114
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: under stress and burned out, in a trend that started

115
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 3: during the depths of the pandemic. The Nurses Union says

116
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: employment is on the rise again, but there's still a

117
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: long way to go. Officials say understaffing is still an

118
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 3: issue at hospitals and medical centers, but departures are down

119
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 3: close to thirty percent in recent years. Health officials tried

120
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: to warn us and now Canada loses its distinction of

121
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 3: being free of measles for the first time in nearly

122
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: three decades. Eradicated through vaccinations in the nineties, doctors today

123
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 3: say they had never once treated a patient for the

124
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: illness until now. With slipping vaccination rates, the nation becomes

125
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: the first the America since before the pandemic to lose

126
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: its standing. The recent outbreak began one year ago with

127
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: a single case and has since topped five thousand cases nationwide.

128
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: Health officials do warn that the United States could be next,

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 3: and your morning cup of coffee may do a heart good.

130
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 6: More than ten million Americans live with a heart disorder

131
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 6: known as APHIB that could lead to heart failure and

132
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 6: blood clots. The research results of a four year clinical

133
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 6: trial presented at the American Heart Association conference showed drinking

134
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 6: just one cup of coffee per day appeared to have

135
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 6: a protective effect on APHIB recurrence. For a long time,

136
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 6: doctors have tried to understand the impact coffee has on APHIB.
