1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: This is wb Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: Forty one degrees in Boston, we've got clouds in the city,

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: feeling more like twenty five at eleven o'clock. Good morning,

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm Nicole Davis and we're watching developing news. Four moderate

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: Republicans have now broken with House Speaker Mike Johnson over

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: healthcare and have signed on to a Democratic led discharge

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 2: petition that will force a House vote to extend it

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: Enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies. Now, those subsidies expire at

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: the end of the year. Without an extension, health insurance

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: premiums will skyrocket for millions of Americans. This bill would

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 2: extend those subsidies for three years. Yesterday, Speaker Johnson said

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: he would not hold a vote and instead would work

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: on broader healthcare reform next year. President Trump has floated

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: the idea of establishing health savings accounts instead, but critics

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: have warned that plan would not bring down the cost

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: of premiums. Meantime, President Trump is ramping up his effort

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: to force Venezuela as president out of power. Last night,

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: the President posted he has ordered a quote total and

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into and

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: out of Venezuela. Here CBS's Charli daggattat.

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: The country led by dictator Nicholas Maduro has faced heavy

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: sanctions from the US for years.

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 3: Trump is rashing up the pressure on ve Isabel law

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: international relation.

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: To expert Oliver Snunkel, thinks the ultimate goal is regime change.

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: I think there is a risk that the United States

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: will inadvertently be pulled into a conflict without a clear

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 3: exit strategy.

29
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: President Trump accusing the Maduro regime of stealing oil, land

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: and other assets from the United States. The Maduro government

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: says the President is violating international law, free trade, and

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: the principle of free navigation. Now we're hearing from the

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: President tonight in a live primetime address from the White House.

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: Here's Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.

35
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: It's going to be a really good speech. I was

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 4: just in the Oval Office with the President discussing it.

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 4: He's going to talk a lot about the accomplishments over

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: the past eleven months, all that he's done to bring

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: our country back to greatness, and all he continues to

40
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 4: plan to do to continue delivering for the American people

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: over the next three years now.

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: That speech starting at nine o'clock. We will have it

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: live for you right here on WBZ streaming always on

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. Police in Providence still searching for the

45
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: gunman who killed two people and injured nine others over

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: the weekend at Brown University. Video showing a massed suspect

47
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: walking around the neighborhoods leading up to the shooting. And

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: it's not just students who are on edge. There is

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: tremendous frustration. Look, if I were a parent in Providence,

50
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: I would be concerned.

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: But it's not only Providence.

52
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: We know now that there is somebody who is believed

53
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: to be a cold blooded mass shooter on the loose,

54
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: potentially armed period full stop. That is terrifying to say,

55
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: to seize Josh mar Golan With that update, plenty of

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: clouds in Boston right now and for the rest of

57
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: the day. We'll see a mix of sun and clouds

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: as we get toward this evening. It is definitely warmer

59
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: than it's been. We have temperatures in the and some

60
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: forties if you're on the Capan Islands. The thing is, though,

61
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: we have that very gusty wind blowing from the southwest

62
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: au gusting to about thirty miles an hour, even seeing

63
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: about thirty five mile in hour gusts on the outer Cave.

64
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: So you put the two together and it's feeling more

65
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: like the twenties, especially on the coast and in higher elevations.

66
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: So we've got a high today about fifty on the

67
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: capin islands, forty five in the Boston area, but again

68
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: feeling like about ten degrees colder for tonight, mostly clear, low,

69
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: just about freezing thirty two or so downtown, twenties if

70
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: you're in the suburbs. Then for tomorrow, mix of sun

71
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: and clouds and a high in the mid forties. Next

72
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: storm coming in likely tomorrow night. We've got plenty of

73
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: rain for Friday as well, temperature soaring into the upper fifties,

74
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: feeling more like spring or fall, and then we'll get

75
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: a bit of a reality check over the weekend, where

76
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: we're back in the thirties. Right now in Beverly, partly

77
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: sunny skies thirty nine south of Boston in Norwood, cloudy

78
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: in forty west of Boston in Fitchburg, cloudy in thirty

79
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: eight in Boston. Right now at Logan Airport, partly Cloudy Skies.

80
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: It's forty degrees right now, but it feels like twenty five.

81
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: Well tonight's powerball jackpot is worth more than one point

82
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: two billion dollars, and that means all hands on deck.

83
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: At the Packe's in General Store selling tickets.

84
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 3: Hennessy News in Situate Harbor is a popular spot to

85
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 3: grab t shirts and greeting cards, but right now it's

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: for the lottery tickets.

87
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: In the past week or so really sending the pickup

88
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: in sales.

89
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: That's manager Eric Johnston, who tells me that's partially due

90
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: to an influx of powerball players as the jackpot has

91
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: surged past a billion.

92
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: A lot of people trying that luck.

93
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: It'es basically people that normally don't play down the road.

94
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: At the Norwell Package in General store, Linda Brown tells

95
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: me she's been printing quick picks NonStop for customers.

96
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: We have some that'll come in. They'll get one hundred

97
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: drugs for it.

98
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 3: They feel it's worth it, and honestly, they win a

99
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: billion dollars it is now. The odds of winning the

100
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 3: jackpot are abysmal, but figuring out what to spend it on,

101
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: that's the easy part.

102
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: Find a new place to move to.

103
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: I guess there we got a one. I'd pay off

104
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 4: all my debt, and I'd probably invest in small businesses,

105
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: just help them get their own starts.

106
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 3: From norwalem Jerre Brosn and WBZ, Boston's news radio.

107
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: It's been many years decades since major changes were made

108
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: to the MBTA's Orange Line, but on Beacon Hill lawmakers

109
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: are now considering extending it further to the south. Last week,

110
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: the House approved state funding to be used for a

111
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 2: new study looking at just how feasible it is to

112
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: extend the Orange Line down to Roslindale Village. This could

113
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: possibly convert the existing Needum Line the commuter rail line

114
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: to fully rapid transit. Supporters say this would improve service

115
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: for people living in that part of Greater Boston while

116
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: not requiring the MBTA to buy up new property or

117
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: build a new right of way. In this study, mastop

118
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: will take a closer look at the cost funding options,

119
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: potential ridership equity concerns, and potential environmental impacts. And Hyundai

120
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: and Kia have made a deal with thirty six states,

121
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: including Massachusetts, who suit them overclaims their vehicles are too

122
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: easy to steal.

123
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: The Korean car makers have agreed to add anti theft

124
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: hardware to millions of vehicles. It became theft targets part

125
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: of an online challenge that's in addition to software updates

126
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: that had already been issued. Also part of the deal

127
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: monetary compensation for the states involved and the consumers impacted

128
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: by the thefts man.

129
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: As CBS's Jeff Gilbert, monetary compensation could top five hundred

130
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: million bucks. You are now in the loop for news
