1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio re defining local news.

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 2: We've lost a degree in Boston. Somebody looked for it.

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: Please thirty one degrees at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 2: Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. President Trump says it's too

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: late for Iran to negotiate threatening more significant air strikes

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: are on the way. CBS's Natalie Brand has details. President

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: Trump and a social media post Tuesday morning said Iran's

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: air defense, air Force, Navy, and leadership is gone.

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 3: They want to talk.

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: I said too late.

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: We were having negotiations with these lunatics, and it was

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: my opinion that they were going to attack first.

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: They were going to attack if we didn't do it.

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 3: Secretary of State Marco Rubio argued there was an imminent

15
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: threat because the US knew there was going to be

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: Israeli action that would trigger retaliation by Iran.

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: Support for the US and Israeli strikes largely is divided

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: along party lines in this country. Congress could vote on

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: a WARPO resolution as soon as Thursday, but it would

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: be largely symbolic since the President can use his veto

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 2: if it fails. As vacationers rush to leave the region.

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: They describe the chaotic scenes of airstrikes raining down in

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: the Middle East. CBS's Kemmy McCormick, with.

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 4: More one passenger arriving at Heathrow in London, describes seeing

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 4: defense systems intercept Iramian ballistic missiles over the skies near Dubai.

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 3: It's been a tumultuous, traumatic time and when you've got

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: young children like this, it's just you know, you're hearing explosions,

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: goes often.

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 5: It's no way to live and I feel really sorry

30
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 5: for the people listed out there. We're very lucky to

31
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 5: be back home.

32
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 4: Major Gulf airports, including Dubai, remain closed for a fourth day,

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 4: leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded. The State Department

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 4: says it's arranging evacuation flights for Americans seeking to leave

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: the region, and.

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: US officials have urged Americans in more than a dozen

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: Middle Eastern countries to evacuate. The price of the pump

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: starting to rise as uncertainty rocks the oil market.

39
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 6: The average price for a gallon of regular, unloaded gasoline

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 6: jumped eleven cents overnight to three dollars eleven cents in

41
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,639
Speaker 6: the US, according to Motor Club Triple A, my jaha

42
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 6: to read is in Charlotte, North Carolina.

43
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: Scaresy man.

44
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 4: We just started against some lower prices.

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 2: I was grateful for it, lower than I've seen in

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: a long time. So if it swags up, I'm going

47
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: to be mad again at the government.

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 6: Average gas prices nationwide are now the highest they have

49
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 6: been in more than a year.

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: Jim chrisulisibs new and President Trump says any spike in

51
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: gas prices will be temporary, saying he expects prices to

52
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: fall as soon as Operation Epic Fury ends.

53
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: If we have a little high oil prices for a

54
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: little while, but as soon as this ends, those prices

55
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: are going to drop, I believe, lower than even before.

56
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: Nearly a fifth of the world's oil travels through the

57
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: Strait of hor Mooz Rand says it will target any

58
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: vessel using the narrow Waterway. Karen Reid cell phones remain

59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: a hot topic lawyers for the family of John o'keeff

60
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: for asking a judge to order an examination of two

61
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 2: of Reed's cell phones before returning them to her. Reid

62
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: has asked the Norfolk County District Attorney's office to return

63
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: the phones. They were seized as part of an investigation

64
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: into claims that she conspired with the blogger Aiden Kearney

65
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: to intimidate witnesses in her criminal case. The Sun Chronicle

66
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: reports a judge recently ruled that the special prosecutor in

67
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: Kearney's case could not search the contents of the phones. Now,

68
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: Attorney Mark Dillar, who represents the O'Keefe family in a

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: wrongful death suit against Reid, filed an emergency motion to

70
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: prevent the return of phones before they could be forensically downloaded.

71
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: Winter weather advisory is up areas north and west Boston.

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: In fact, very close to Boston. This advisory is posted

73
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: just to the north. That's where we're going to get

74
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: to the most in the way of slick conditions and

75
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: some snow and some sleet and perhaps some freezing rain.

76
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: It has been a bit of a messy ride so

77
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: far with the snow falling across most of Massachusetts. Although

78
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: we're starting to see some of this rain and mixed

79
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: precipitation push in from the south and so into southern

80
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: Worcester County. It looks like we've got a little perhaps

81
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: freezing rain going on. Connecticut's got a bunch of freezing rain,

82
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: and then there's some rainfall back towards the Capan Islands

83
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: and snow north of that point, so north of say

84
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: Webster and Auburn, it's still all snow. So anything untreated

85
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: is certainly going to get slippery. And as we head

86
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: through the afternoon and as temperatures rise ever so slowly,

87
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: and we'll start to see that mixed precipitation eventually changing

88
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 2: to all rain, but probably not in the far inland suburbs.

89
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: That's where it'll stay as freezing precipitation through the night.

90
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: Temper drizzle rise through the thirties eventually tomorrow, no worries

91
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: about freezing anything. Fifty degrees for the high temperature with

92
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: some clouds and sunshine, and then cloudy skies on Thursday,

93
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: with some rain or drizzle in the afternoon forty one

94
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: only in the mid thirties. On Friday, we may start

95
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: out with a little drizzle at first, with clouds lingering,

96
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: and because it'll be just so chilly, maybe some icy

97
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: spots earlier the day on Friday to watch out for.

98
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: Right now, it is thirty one degrees in Boston between

99
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: Punch the monkey and MoU Dang the pygmy hippo. While

100
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: Life Captivity has been going viral for all its aantics,

101
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: and a very special seal in Boston joins the party.

102
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 5: So Hey, Reggae, are you a big fan of WBZ?

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 5: I'm going to take that as a yes. That's the

104
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 5: snort of a hello from Reggae, a thirty three year

105
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 5: old geriatric harbor seal. It's gone viral for the yellow

106
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 5: rubber ducky he's always got tucked under his flippers.

107
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to present the object, which includes his duckies.

108
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: Could Reggae excited?

109
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 5: His longtime handler Serena Weirman of the New England Aquarium

110
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 5: tells me the duck is not just play.

111
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: This is serious.

112
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: In Richmond Barn, Richmond really tries to add as much

113
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: variety for our animals throughout their day, but also as

114
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: an option for animals to have a lot of choice

115
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: and control throughout their day and even within their training sessions.

116
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 5: And it certainly works as a reward for Reggae when

117
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 5: he's cooperative for blood tests and the like. But after

118
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: millions of likes online, he's still humble with his new

119
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: found fan what do you have to say to all

120
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: your fans out there? Jay will end WBZ, Boston's news radio.

121
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: It's not Halloween, but some are dressing up in costumes

122
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: and getting gifts of candy today.

123
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: Most of the year. Doctor Daniel Aldrich's stage serious and

124
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 3: even keel.

125
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 5: But I am struggling now to get all of my

126
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 5: limbs inside this PC.

127
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 3: Today I find him stuffing himself into an inflatable dinosaur costume.

128
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: He's the Rabbi of KTM Synagogue in Brighton, and today

129
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 3: is Perm, the most deliriously happy day on the Hebrew calendar.

130
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: We celebrate it by reading the story, and when we

131
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 4: hear the names of the villains, we bought them out

132
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 4: with sound.

133
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: In this case, the main villain of the Perm story

134
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: is Hayman.

135
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: Court, vizier to an ancient Persian king. As the story goes,

136
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: he tried to kill off all the Jews in the

137
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 3: Persian Empire, but the Jewish Queen ester intervened and he failed.

138
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: Nobody in this crowd seemed to be a big fan

139
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: of his. The Rabbi said, giving to the poor, gift

140
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: of food to friends and a large community meal feature Prominently,

141
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: I tell my friends if you're only coming to synagogue one.

142
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: Day year, it should be important. Kyle Schaffeld, WBZ Boston's
