They get the Panthers tonight, and you 20 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: can't lose if you don't play, and the Red Sox 21 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: are not playing today. The home opener is tomorrow. But 22 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,279 Speaker 1: after losing five in a row, do we really want 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: the Red Sox here? Four local pot shop owners are 24 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: suing Massachusetts over a proposed ballot question headed to voters 25 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: this fall. The social activists are holding Attorney General Andrea 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: Campbell and the commonwealth's top election official, Secretary of State 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: Bill Galvin to account in state Superior Court Supreme Court 28 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: rather for approving and backing plans for the ballot question 29 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: that would ban the sale of recreational marijuana, Campbell for 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: her certification of the question, in Galvin for allegations of 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: a violation of his public duty. The lawsuit claims the 32 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: question violates the state constitution. State and federal authorities continue 33 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: to look into the source of a local hack attack 34 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: several towns in central Massachusetts. State cyber criminals have compromised 35 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: or may have compromised the municipal networks in at least 36 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: five communities this week. First responder systems in Pepperrell, Grotten Dunstable, Ashby, 37 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: and townshend All affected, as well as the Patriot Regional 38 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 1: Emergency Communications Center. Some services are back. Experts say they're 39 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: still looking into it, but so far it appears no 40 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: personal information has been shared. Lessons learned at the airport 41 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: After being told to show up extra early to get 42 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: through security checkpoints, Officials now say because you listened, your 43 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: early arrival is making the TSA lines worse. The flip 44 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: flop comes after President Trump signed off on an executive 45 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: order last week that restored the pay for workers. TSA 46 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: checkpoints have been short staffed. Airports are now going so 47 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: far as to tell passengers with more workers back in 48 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: the job, there's no need for you to line up 49 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: in lines four hours ahead of your scheduled flight. I 50 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: guess that's good. Picture Perfect two one booster ignition and 51 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: lift off. The crew of Artemis two now bound for 52 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: the Moon. The Orion spacecraft is now in high Earth 53 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: orbit hours after the nearly on time departure from the 54 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: Kennedy Space Center. The mission to the Dark side of 55 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: the Moon begins Monday with an exit from gravity. If 56 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: all goes well, the crew will splash down off the 57 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: coast of San Diego on April tenth, coming up on 58 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: sunrise here in the city. Unfortunately, once again, we will 59 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: not get a chance to see it here in Greater Boston, 60 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: and the reason is obvious. It's raining pretty steadily here 61 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: in the city, and it looks like we have several 62 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: hours of this to go. It'll tapeer off to drizzle 63 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: this afternoon. That is an improvement. And this backdoor cold 64 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: front that pushed temperatures down about fifteen degrees late yesterday 65 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: afternoon is going to be with us the entire day Today. 66 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: Many areas not going to get out of the thirties, 67 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: low forties the best will do. Today just going to 68 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: be one of those damp days. But we've been back 69 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: and forth so far in this month of April, and 70 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: that's going to continue as we get to tomorrow, with 71 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: cloudy skies remaining a bit of drizzle as we head 72 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: into the lower sixties. Now granted it's only April second, 73 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: but it certainly looks like this yo yo is going 74 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: to continue. We're going to hold steady in the sixties. However, 75 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: at least coming up for tomorrow, Good Friday, the Red 76 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: Sox home opener, and then through Easter weekend, looks like 77 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: we'll be in a little bit better place with some 78 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: sunshine along the way both Saturday and Sunday. Right now 79 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: in Boston thirty nine and raining here in the city 80 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: six oh six this Thursday morning, President Trump says US 81 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: troops will bomb ran back to the Stone Ages in 82 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: a primetime address. 83 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 2: This is a special report from ABC News. I'm Chuck Severertson. 84 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: Since President Trump's speech to the nation Wednesday night, updating 85 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: the Iran war, US oil prices surged higher and on 86 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: Wall Street Dow futures dropped. The President said the US 87 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: is close to achieving its military objectives, but also announced 88 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: two to three weeks more intense bombing even as discussions 89 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: to win the war continue. 90 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 3: If there is no deal, we are going to hit 91 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 3: each and every one of their electric generating plans very hard, 92 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: and probably simultaneously. Also, they were also rapidly building a 93 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 3: vas stockp of conventional ballistic missiles and would soon have 94 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 3: had missiles that could reach the American homeland, Europe, and 95 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 3: virtually any other place on Earth. 96 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 4: But we didn't really get clear answers about when this 97 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 4: is going to wrap up, why exactly we went into there, 98 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 4: and what the objectives are going to be in order 99 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 4: for the US. 100 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: To pull out. 101 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: Baby's New Senior White House correspondent Selina Wang. This is ABC. 102 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: New gas prices, by the way, overnight in Massachusetts now 103 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: stand at three eighty six a gallon.

And you know, so we do it. 119 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 5: We do it because we love live music in the day, 120 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 5: but also because we love giving back. 121 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 4: Local food pantries got to check too, and Plumfest even 122 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 4: gave back to their surroundings, a big chunk of cash 123 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 4: going toward protecting birds at the beach and the beach 124 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 4: from erosion.
