Speaker 1: bring it in, let's hug it out and welcome back,

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: clear skies as we get started. It's cold though in

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: many areas we've dipped into the thirties overnight. Here in

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: Boston it's forty eight degrees. The News at six is

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: brought to you by your New England Toyota dealer, your

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for being with us

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: this Friday morning. I'm Jeff Brown, Mother Major is holding

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: all the cards.

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: After fairly sunny star tour Friday, we'll see clouds of

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: times later today. There can be a showered spots this

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 2: efter in the high in year sixty.

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: That is WBZ Achi weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Much cooler

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 3: trend in the works too, but a nice fall weekend

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: on the way. Ticked off by a TV commercial, President

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: Trump cuts off all trade talks with Canada.

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 4: Vern Trump has abruptly you wanted train negotiations with Canada.

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 4: He says he's angry over a TV ad airing in

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 4: Canada that use the voice of Ronald Reagan. To criticize tariffs,

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: Trump accuses Canada of trying to interfere with the Supreme Court,

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 4: which is considering whether his tariffs are legal.

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: At ABC's Maggie Ruley, Canada has been doubling down on

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: efforts to take its international trade elsewhere as relations with

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: the United States sour. This probably explains why President Trump

26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 3: has given Prime Minister Mark Kearney the cold shoulder of

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: late in his offer of a friendly World Series bet

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: pitting Toronto's Blue Jays against the La Dodgers. Government shutdown

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 3: day number twenty four in progress. Senators reject dueling bills

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: to pay federal employees currently required to work but not

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: getting paychecks. Another vote to end the impass entirely fails,

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: but some dissension appears in the Democratic ranks, as two

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: of them vote with the GOP to bring an end

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: to America's second longest shutdown. Georgia Senators John Ossoff and

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: Rafael Warnock both jump across the It's an unlucky seven

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: for the Bruins. The losing street grows after a loss

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: to Anaheim at the Garden. The Bees will host the

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: Avalanche tomorrow afternoon. Celtics will take their show on the Road,

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: Madison Square Garden and the Knicks tonight. The NBA is

40
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: still kro trying to come to grips with a massive

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: gambling ring and to close up with the mafia. Former

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: Celtics Terry Rozier Chauncey Billups are wrapped up in it.

43
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: The authority said that these games had been going on

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: since at least twenty nineteen. This is a deep and

45
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: widespread alleged scam. Billips made his first appearance in court

46
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 2: in Oregon. He will come to Brooklyn to formally enter

47
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: his not guilty plea and then the prosecution will go

48
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: from there. And Billups, according to federal prosecutors, was involved

49
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: in the other scheme too, the one that alleged certain

50
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: NBA figures provided inside information for Sports.

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 3: Better At ABC's Aaron Katerski. More than thirty people arrested

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: in all, and quite possibly authority say more to come. Okay,

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: So the weekend, it's just about here. A trip to

54
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: your local watering hole might be in the distance for you.

55
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: Is it a group effort or a solo flight. WBC's

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: Drew mo'holland speaks more in the trend of going it

57
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: alone at the bar. Good morning, Andrew, Morning, Jeffrey.

58
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: Good Friday. Story here.

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco was a forty year old NFL quarterback traded

60
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 5: by the Cleveland Browns earlier this season to the Cincinnati Bengals.

61
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 5: He has kids in school, a wife, and they all

62
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 5: decided as a family to keep the kids in the

63
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 5: school they've been at, and that leaves Joe Flacco alone

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 5: a lot. He misses his family, but he told reporters

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 5: this week, you know what, it's not all bad.

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 6: I tell you. I tell people all the time. I

67
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 6: used to see guys sitting at a bar by themselves,

68
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 6: or you know, just sitting by themselves, eating and grabbing

69
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 6: a little meal, and like, man, I feel so bad

70
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 6: for that guy. You almost want to go join them.

71
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 6: And now I realize, like that dude was in heaven.

72
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: Found a new hobby.

73
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 5: Oh, Joe Flacco enjoying a little alone time.

74
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: Very good, Drew, Thank you. It's going to be pretty

75
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: much the perfect weekend to do a lot of fall

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: things outdoor. It's going to be a nice weekend, a

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: little bit of a ill in the air, with high

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: temperatures mainly in the fifties. But we're talking about pumpkin festivals,

79
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: even the Patriots game on Sunday, and any football game

80
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: really looks good this weekend. Right now, it's forty eight

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 3: here in Boston under mainly clear skies. We'll see plenty

82
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 3: of sunshine mixing with some clouds at times throughout the day.

83
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: There is a slight possibility of a pop up shower

84
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: or two this afternoon. That's about it. They will not

85
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: be widespread in nature, but just a touch and go variety.

86
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 3: High is ultimately about sixty degrees today, slightly cooler as

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: we head into the weekend. As I said, we'll see

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: clear skies both tomorrow and Sunday, and temperatures will be

89
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: in the fifties. In fact, the long range forecast does

90
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: indicate that we'll be mainly in the fifties. And Halloween,

91
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: of course, is a week from today, and we are

92
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: watching for the potential of another nor'easter headed our way.

93
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: We shall see that's a mile away. We'll keep our

94
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: eyes on it. Right now in Boston, forty eight degrees

95
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: and clear skies on this Friday morning at six oh six,

96
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: Ruffled feathers on the rails. Wbz's Matt Phipps explains last.

97
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 7: Ride for the nbta's Green Line D branch tonight at

98
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 7: eight o'clock. The suspension will run through Halloween as work

99
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 7: continues on the long awaited and long overdue speed control system.

100
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 7: Free shuttle buses will run instead between Riverside and ken

101
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 7: Moore during the work through next week. Matt phipps WBZ

102
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 7: Boston's News Radio.

103
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns of more airline turbulence in

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: the coming days, as air traffic controllers are about to

105
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: miss their first paychecks next week due to the government shutdown.

106
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: A Senate bill to pay them fails on Capitol Hill,

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: as does yet another vote to end the stalemate entirely.

108
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 3: Travel disruptions have rippled cross country, most recently affecting airports

109
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: in New York City, Washington, and Houston. Officials and travelers

110
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: at Logan Airports say flight delays have been barely noticeable

111
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 3: due to the political impact. It's been mostly due to

112
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: weather delays, and Alaska Airline says all operate. All operations

113
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 3: have been restored as of this morning, after the airline

114
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: grounds all its flights due to an IT issue in

115
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: a central data center last night. The airline, which is

116
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: the nation's fifth largest continues to advise passengers this morning

117
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: of lingering delays and disruptions as the kinks in the

118
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: system get worked out today. As by the way, it

119
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: was the second major disruption to Alaska Airlines flights so

120
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: far this year. You are now in the loop for
