Speaker 2: Fifty three degrees in Boston at four o'clock at afternoon.

3
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: I'm Suzanne Sausville. Let's see what's going on. As needy

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: families deal with the loss of snap benefits during the

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: government shutdown, local stores are pitching in to help fill

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: the gap. Wbz's Hyle Shaffle reports.

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 3: As food banks struggled to keep pace with a snapless November,

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 3: local stores are pitching into Hell.

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 4: We're a community bakery. We know our neighbors, were very

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 4: close with all of our customers, and it felt like

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 4: something that we could do.

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: Rebecca Blacker of Blacker's Bake Shop and Newton has started

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: what she calls the Community Table, the table of free

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: food outsiders store two times a week with no questions asked.

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 4: I think depending on the outcomer, like how many people

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: show up. It's something that we can just keep doing.

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: She says.

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: Donations from the community have poured in to help the effort.

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 4: We want people to know that they are welcome here,

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 4: they can feel comfortable here and get what they need.

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 4: And it's part of the values of the Jewish community

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 4: as well. It's you know we're doing.

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: Two federal judges in New England have ordered the Trump

25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: administration to use emergency funds to make at least partial

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: payments to snap during the shutdown. The White House has

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: until tomorrow to tell the court its plan. Meanwhile, Congress

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: remains at an impasse as the government shutdown reaches day

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: thirty three. ABC Selena Wing has more.

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 5: Even as more than a million federal workers are working

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 5: without Hey, lawmakers on Capitol Hill are still getting their paychecks,

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 5: and we are still in the standstill because you've got

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 5: Republicans on one hand, they're refusing to negotiate while the

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 5: government is shut down, while Democrats say they are standing

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 5: firm on their healthcare demands. So really, no end insight

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 5: to this.

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: The shutdown is just three days away from becoming the

38
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: longest in US history. Police and the FBI continued to

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: investigate an explosion at a Harvard Medical school building that

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: police say appears intentional. Harvard University police say they responded

41
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: to a fire alarm early Saturday morning at the Goldensen

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: Building on Longwood A in Boston. Police say the responding

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: officer saw two people fleeing the building. It's unclear what

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: type of explosive device was used, but no other devices

45
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: were found in the building and no one was hurt.

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: Police have released surveillance photos of the two suspects. You

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: can see them on our website Wbznewsradio dot com. New

Speaker 2: Mexico launches universal childcare. ABC's Olivia Rubin reports.

49
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 6: New Mexico officially becoming the first date to offer completely

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 6: free childcare to every single family there.

51
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: Now.

52
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 6: This is a move that the state's governor, Democrat Michelle

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 6: Awon Grisham, says we'll save families about twelve thousand dollars

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 6: per child every single year. She's also saying it will

55
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 6: boost the state's economy and childhood well being. Now, the

56
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 6: state already did offer free childcare, but it was to

57
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 6: families below a certain income level. But now that restriction

58
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 6: is gone and families can start applying right away.

59
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: The program will also establish a multimillion dollar loan fund

60
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: to construct, expand, and renovate childcare facilities. The forecast mostly

61
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: clear skies early tonight, but then it gets cloudy later overnight,

62
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: low forty one, some sun tomorrow morning, but then the

63
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: clouds roll in again. We could see a couple of

64
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: showers late in the day and in the evening High

65
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: fifty nine, mostly Sunday on Tuesday, but windy High sixty

66
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,640

Speaker 1: the seas of Gloucester and Maine to the calm wilderness

76

Speaker 1: of the Adirondacks. Christina Mikilon is the curator of Prints

77
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: and Drawings, and she says, this is one of the

78
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: rare exhibits where they want you to get up close

79
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: to the works.

80
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,440

81
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 7: really look at some of those details and nuances in

82
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 7: the watercolors. And to really just appreciate what he's able

83
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 7: to achieve with this medium and some of the boundaries

84
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 7: that he's pushing with this work.

85
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: The collection features some of his most iconic work, like

86
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: The Blue Boat or Boys in a Pasture, but Mikelon

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,480

Speaker 7: Think Leaping Trout is probably Rising to the Top is

90
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 7: my favorite, not just watercolor in this exhibition, but potentially

91
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 7: in this entire collection.

92
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,000

98
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: bringing back Mister PIB twenty four years after it was discontinued.

100
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 8: percent more caffeine than PIB Extra, the brand it was

101
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 8: replaced with. The soda is also getting a new slogan,

102
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,719

Speaker 2: agreement on a new content distribution deal. YouTube claims Disney

112
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: used the blackout threat to push for higher prices benefiting

113
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: its own streaming services like Hulu. Meanwhile, Disney says YouTube

114
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,720
