Speaker 3: way at eleven o'clock. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis, and

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 3: here's what's happening. President Trump is now calling on Iran's

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: domestic opposition to support the US and the war against Tehran,

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 3: reaching out to Kurdish minority leaders in Iran and neighboring Iraq.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 3: This week, the President reportedly offering extensive US air cover

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 3: for Kurds to take portions of western Iran. That comes

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 3: as Iran launched a new wave of attacks this morning

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: at a Israelian American bases around the region, and Israel

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: says it has started a large scale attack on Tehran.

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: Claims of smoke were seen rising across various parts of

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: Tehran on Thursday morning, as US is radio astrikes continued

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: to pound the Iranian capital. The Islamic Republic threatened that

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: the United States would bitterly regret torpedoing and arrange in

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: warship in the Indian Ocean. On Wednesday, Iran is launching

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: more missiles at Israel, as Israel said it was moving

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: to intercept them. Israeli military has also confirmed its continuing

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: strikes in Lebanon against the Iranian bacts Hizbaalah militant group.

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: The war was launched by the US and Israel on Saturday.

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: So far, more than a thousand people in Iran have

23
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: been killed, more than seventy people have been killed in Lebanon,

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: and around a dozen people have been killed in Israel,

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: according to officials in those countries. I'm Karen Shamas.

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: In Washington, lawmakers on Capitol hillaryd Odds over reigning in

27
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: the president's war powers. Yesterday, Republican senators were able to

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: block a war powers resolution as Democrats demand more congressional oversight.

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: The House is expected to vote on a similar measure

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 4: today that would require Congers to approve military action in Iran.

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 4: Speaker Mike Johnson said it would empower our enemies and

32
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: kneecap our own forces, adding we're not at war now.

33
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: That is CBS's Weija Ziang Now. Experts continued to track

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: the economic impact of the conflict, especially at the gas pump.

35
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: Here's ABC's Elizabeth Sholsey.

36
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 5: Oil is now up about fifteen percent since the start

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 5: of the war, so that means gas prices still rising.

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 5: To gas Buddy says, the national average this morning three

39
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 5: dollars and twenty four cents, up about six cents in

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 5: the past day. This time last week, we were about

41
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 5: thirty cents lower, below that three dollars a gallon mark.

42
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 5: Seven states prices up even more than thirty cents. In

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 5: some cities we are looking at prices closer to sixty

44
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 5: cents or higher. So this is a big increase.

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: Triple A says. Here in Massachusetts, the average price of

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: a gallon of gas right now is three dollars nine cents.

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: Other news, we're watching the broad deman behind the wheel

48
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: when a young Boston Public school student was killed in

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: Hyde Park has now been indicted by a Suffolk County

50
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: grand jury. Jean Charles is facing several charges, including involuntary manslaughter.

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: The Suffolk County DA's office says the former Boston school

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: bus driver dropped five year old Lens Joseph Off in

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 3: Hyde Park, but didn't do the proper safety checks afterwards

54
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 3: and drove over the boy, killing him. To be a

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: rain later on this month in Suffolk Superior Court, it

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: is looking like a wet afternoon out there. Forecast wise,

57
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 3: we are going to see mostly rain for the rest

58
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: of the day as many of us are seeing temperatures

59
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: near forty for the high today, But starting later on

60
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: this afternoon, the sleet is going to mix in. We

61
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: have a winter Weather advisory for the city and northern

62
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: and western suburbs that starts around five o'clock and last

63
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: through noon tomorrow. That's because its temperatures drop again, we'll

64
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: mix with sleet and snow. This will become all snow

65
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: north of the city tonight. Now, if you're on the

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: south coast capin Islands, you will likely see all rain

67
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: out of this, maybe a bit of a mix if

68
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: you're in southeastern mass otherwise away from the water. All

69
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: said and done, tomorrow, when this moves out, we'll see

70
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: about a coding to an inch in the city in

71
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: points south, one to three inches north, locally up to

72
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: six inches if you're right by the New Hampshire border.

73
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: And we've got a low tonight if you're in the

74
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: northern and western suburbs about thirty thirty three right above

75
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: freezing in Boston, thirty seven on the capin Islands. Now

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: for tomorrow, cloudy with a high in the upper thirties

77
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: soup drizzled to start, otherwise gray, a high in year

78
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: fifty and Sunday maybe a couple of showers, but afternoon

79
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: sun and a high in the mid fifties. Right now, temperatures,

80
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: we're thirty nine degrees in Amherst closer to Boston, thirty

81
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: six in Fitchburg south of Boston, it's raining in New Bedford,

82
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: and thirty eight north of Boston in Beverly, light showers,

83
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: thirty six in Boston at eleven oh six, it is

84
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: overcast and forty three degrees. Now the snow can't last forever,

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 3: of course, but now we have a pretty good idea

86
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: that it's not even going to make it to April.

87
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: Maybe you're longing to touch grass after months inside. Maybe

88
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: you lost your keys in the snowdrift three months ago.

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: We don't judge. But if you're rooting for the blanket

90
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: of white on yards and driveways to finally melt away.

91
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: There's some great news.

92
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 6: As people think, oh, never Mountain, No, the sun always wins.

93
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 6: That's March. The snow melts really fastest time of year.

94
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: CBS News Boston's chief meteorologist, Eric Fisher says the snow

95
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: will be wiped out next week courtesy of have a

96
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: much deserved blast of warmth into the sixties and seventies.

97
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 6: I'm not looking at giants, snowpiles and abandoned parking lots personally,

98
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 6: but if you do want to look at that last

99
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 6: ounce of snow that's gonna melt somewhere wherever they've stacked

100
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 6: at the highest probably you know sometime in May or

101
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 6: early June.

102
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: It may not look at yet, but nature knows it

103
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: won't be long till we're on spring's doorstep.

104
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 6: First thing I noticed when I came into work is

105
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 6: the Bradford Pays are starting to swell. So if you

106
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 6: look around, there's gonna be little signs that pop up

107
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 6: every few days now they tell you that things are changing.

108
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: Kyle Shaffle WBZ, Boston's news radio, be you ware.

109
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: Though a full spring, you don't want to put away

110
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: the winter stuff just yet. It's New England. These things

111
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 3: can change. The Patriots are apparently saying goodbye to wide

112
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: receiver steff On Diggs last year. He was signed to

113
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: a three year, sixty nine million dollar contract by the team,

114
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 3: of course, help get the Pats to their latest Super Bowl.

115
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: Only about twenty two and a half million of that

116
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: contract was actually guaranteed. Reports say talks between Digs and

117
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: the team over changing up the deal just didn't pan out.

118
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: The team is apparently doing this to open up salary

119
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: cap space, but it is not clear if recent legal

120
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: problems that Diggs is facing off the field played into this.

121
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: And when the Boston Fleet come to Ted Garden next month,

122
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: they are going to play before the biggest crowd for

123
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: a women's pro hockey game in US history. We have

124
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: now learned that the April eleventh game at the Garden

125
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: is officially sold out. The Fleet, as you can imagine,

126
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: is riding high off that wave of enthusiasm from the

127
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: Winter Olympics, and if you go to a game, you're

128
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 3: going to see lots of champions. Team USA gold medal

129
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: winners at Megan Keller, Aaron Frankel, Haley Winn all play

130
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: for Boston, so does Team Switzerland bronze medalist Elena Muller.

131
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 3: And the Fleet typically split their home games between the

132
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: Againis Arena and Boston, but the Songst Center in Lowell,

133
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: but again They're going to be at the Garden. Lots

134
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: more space tickets for games at those usual sites though

135
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 3: also pretty hard to get these days. You are now

136
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: in Malu for news updates throughout the day. Listen to
