00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: Sixty two degrees in Boston. It's eleven o'clock Friday morning.

3
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening.

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: Rap Mobile Sean Diddy Combs is back in court this

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: hour in New York for his sentencing hearing. He was

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: acquitted earlier this year of other charges against him related

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: to sex trafficking and racketeering, but he was convicted of

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: prostitution charges. ABC's Aaron Tursky has more.

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: Holmes has been in jail for more than a year,

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: and his team says that time spent behind bars has

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: been life changing, filled with reading books, writing, working out

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: or in therapy, and getting sober. He has also been

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: teaching a six week class to fellow inmates called Free

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: Game about becoming an entrepreneur. The theme of one class

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: you can make money, but you can't make time.

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: Prosecutors want eleven years in prison, the defense is looking

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: for fourteen months. It is eleven oh one and we

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: are now in today three of the federal government shutdown

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: with no end in sight, as the President sharpens his

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: threats of mass layoffs and program cuts. Today, the Senate

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: will take up competing Republican and Democratic spending bills. Trying

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: to get things moving again. You're CBS's Tina Krause.

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 3: Today, the US Senate is set to hold another round

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 3: of votes, now three days into a shut down stalemate,

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: Republicans insist the only way forward is to pass the

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 3: House's short term spending bill.

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 4: If we can just find a few more Democrats to

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: join us, we can end this shutdown.

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 3: But Democrats won't drop their demands that the bill include

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: federal health care subsidies and protections for Medicaid.

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: If the votes in the Senate fail again today, the

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: shutdown is likely to go on through the weekend. The

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: MBTA Communities Act became lawn Massachusetts four years ago, but

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: ever since there have been legal battles and upset communities

35
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: for several towns. It's all coming to a head this month.

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: Lawsuits rejected town votes even as Supreme Judicial Court decision.

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: The state law enforcing cities in towns served by the

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: MBTA de zoned for multifamily housing has gone through quite

39
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: a lot this year.

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: This is a wonderful location for adding a much needed

41
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 3: affordable housing.

42
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: Derek lives in Marshfield one of several towns this month

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 4: that will have a town meeting to discuss their plans

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 4: on how they'll move forward so they're in full compliance

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 4: with the MBTA Communities Act. Some homeowners, like Nancy near

46
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: Route one thirty nine, are simply tired of all the construction.

47
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 2: The pounding, and like I said, I've sat to see

48
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: cracks in my foundation.

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 4: Similar meetings and votes will take place in Handover, Hanson,

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 4: and Carver despite all of the continued opposition in Marshfield.

51
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: Jim McKay WBZ Boston's news.

52
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: Radio bears are bulking up for the wind turb but

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: in Townsend one is apparently doing it in a rather

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: violent fashion. Please there, say a large black bear attacked

55
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: a goat on Bridle Path, went to a nearby chicken

56
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: coop on Joyce Street and tried to get into that.

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: I say, the bear is just trying to find food,

58
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: but now is the time to pull up your bird feeders,

59
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: get rid of whatever fruit is left on your trees.

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: They want the bear to move on back into the woods.

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: If you see the bear, they say, the most important

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: thing is to keep your distance for the rest of

63
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: your weekend and getting into next week. All we're going

64
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: to see is sun. Well, except at night we'll see

65
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: a lot of stars. But yeah, we are looking like

66
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: we are stuck in this sunny, clear pattern, which again,

67
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: stuck is probably not the right word, considering that's not

68
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: a bad thing. It's not like we're having a week

69
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: of rain. But the problem is we could actually use

70
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: that rain. We have drought conditions that are getting worse

71
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: across the Commonwealth, and forecasters say this persistent dry weather

72
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: will only make it worse. That being said, let's move

73
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: on from the negatives here. We've got summer coming back,

74
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: mostly sunny, becoming breezy again today with a high in

75
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: the mid seventies, mostly in the sixties if you're in

76
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: southeastern mass right on the coast. For tonight, clear skies,

77
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: low in the mid fifties, upper forties if you're inland.

78
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: Then again for the weekend, in both days, lots of sun,

79
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: a high year eighty, low to mid seventies on the

80
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: Cape and Islands. Plenty of sun on Monday too, and

81
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: we've got a high just about eighty at the Cape

82
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: cog Canal. Right now, it is sixty three degrees in Bourne,

83
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 2: north of Boston, fifty nine in Kingsboro, west of the city,

84
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: where at fifty eight degrees in Holden, and in Boston

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: at eleven oh five, it is partly cloudy and sixty one,

86
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: so those delivery fees for natural gas and electricity are

87
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: still high, and some Boston area residents say they want

88
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: to bring the problem to the ballot box. CBS News

89
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: Boston reports there's a new grassroots effort to get three

90
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: ballot questions approved. One allows customers to opt out of

91
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: meters that let utilities remotely track your usage. Second, companies

92
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: would give customers a choice to contribute to programs like

93
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 2: Mass Save, and finally, a question to get rid of

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: something called revenue decoupling that means utilities still get paid

95
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: even if usage generally goes down. Every Source and Response

96
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: says the questions could be harmed because they pose a

97
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: threat to reliability and threaten much needed customer assistance programs.

98
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: National Grid says it considers affordability to be a core

99
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: component of its mission. At eleven oh seven, the federal

100
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: crackdown on crime in DC has largely focused on immigration. Here,

101
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: CBS is Michael Wallace.

102
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 5: Internal government data obtained by CBS News show of the

103
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 5: thirty five hundred arrests made since the surge began in

104
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 5: early August, forty percent where immigration related. A similar crackdown

105
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 5: is underway in Memphis, where City council Member JB. Smiley

106
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 5: Junior has concerns, especially after President Trump said US city

107
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 5: should be used as military training grounds. When you say

108
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 5: training grounds, that I hit target practice, and I believe

109
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 5: that this is not the to bring us any good.

110
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: This is the to control us, whether.

111
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: They collaborate with this, and it's problematic.

112
