00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: Cloudy in thirty nine degrees in the city at eleven

3
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: o'clock on this Saturday. It's March seventh. Hello, as always,

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: thanks for tuning in. I'm Jerry Small. Let's get you

5
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: caught up with news. Here's what's out. As the war

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: in Iran now enters its second week, new details emerge

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: about the deadly strike on a girls' school in southern

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: Iran that killed one hundred and sixty eight.

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: People as the US investigates, sources telling US they believe

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: it is possible American forces are responsible for the attack

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: because they were conducting strikes in the vicinity of the

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: school at the same time. Retired Master Sergeant Wes Bryant,

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: who worked in the Pentagon office that assesses civilian casualties,

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: says he believes the building was targeted.

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: At least seven different target points that were individually targeted

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: by munitions within this compound.

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: Very clearly Israel saying it's horses, we're not operating in

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: that area. On one week since the attack, the US

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: still looking into it, saying that it would never deliberately

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: target civilians.

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 2: And that's ABC's Matt Rivers reporting President Trump is showing

22
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: no signs of the US slowing its attacks in social

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: on truth Social he posted this morning more Iranian officials

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: will be targeted and that today Iran will be hit

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: very hard. Here at home, gas prices have significantly risen

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: since the start of the war in Iran.

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 4: We are seeing a record breaking surge in the price

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 4: of oil as the war in Iran chokes off global supply.

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: Oil prices are up thirty five percent and the biggest

30
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 4: weekly price increase ever. A barrel of oil now above

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 4: ninety dollars. Some analysts warn it could soon top one

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: hundred dollars. Americans are seeing these price hikes at the

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: pump every day. The national average for a gallon of

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: gas stands at three dollars and thirty nine cents. That's

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 4: not more than forty cents in the last week.

36
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: ABC's Elizabeth Shalsey, reporting there Triple A, says gas prices

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: here in Massachusetts have gone up twenty five since since

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: a week ago, twenty five cents a gallon, that is.

39
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,840
