Speaker 1: plowable snow, others this is going to be an icy

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: mess once again. American companies who've paid the freight on

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: present in Trump's global tariffs are now entitled to get

22
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: their money back. But will you get yours. A federal

00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: judge rules companies that paid these tariffs can apply for reimbursement.

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: FedEx among the first to sue the government for a refund.

25
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: The fallout intensifies after the US Supreme Court rules against

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: the president's key economic policy. The judge says the court

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: will decide the amount FedEx has promised to pay back

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: its customers. It is estimated that the US has collected

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: about one hundred and seventy five billion dollars in counting

30
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: in the global tariff policy. In a new wave of

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: The motion to discharge is not.

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: Approved Republicans in Congress defeating an effort by Democrats to

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: reign in President Trump's war powers. The measure would have

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: prevented further military action without congressional approval, but Senate Republicans

40
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,840

00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 4: of hand. The city will decide today whether or not

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,000

51
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,680

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,880

Speaker 2: Fines Fine two seconds tough shot, Oh my god, MG.

63
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 5: Gad the call on Swampskit Community Television. As you might

64
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: have guessed, that was the Swampskit side there they were

65
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 5: in disbelief at the loss. It was a half court

66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 5: three pointer with less than four seconds to play. Winds

67
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 5: up with a Clippers playoff win over the Swampskit. Big

68
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 5: Blue Fine says he still can't believe it.

69
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Nice sunrise here in Boston in progress, However, the clouds

70
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: are right on its tail, and so really this is

71
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: going to be a mostly cloudy day. It's not going

72
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: to get him better, that's for sure. Here's the deal.

73
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: We've got a winter weather advisory and a kick in

74
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: for Boston and north and western suburbs that happens late

75
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: this afternoon round five o'clock and can hinues through noontime tomorrow.

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: And the reason is pretty obvious. We've got another icy

77
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: mess of precipitation headed our way. It is likely going

78
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: to start as rain, freezing rain, sleet for much of

79
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: the area, but then we'll switch over to snow, and

80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: especially north and west of the city. That's where plowable

81
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: snow is likely to accumulate. We could see anywhere between

82
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: three and five inches of accumulation by the time I know,

83
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: by the time this system is done. Some of us

84
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: were wearing shorts yesterday and some of us will pick

85
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: up snowshovels again tomorrow. Hopefully this will be the last one,

86
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: because after this it looks like we're headed into the

87
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: fifties for the long run at the very least, and

88
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: that starts this weekend. We're also seeing a couple of

89
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: sixty degree days, in fact, three of them on the

90
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: board as we head into next week. So we've got

91
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: to get through this and then we can start to

92
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: think spring, I believe as we go forward. Right now,

93
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: it's thirty four increasing clouds in Boston six oh six

94
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,679

98
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: he's going to ask them for the safety data that

99
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: shows it's okay for a teenage girl to drink iced

100
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: coffee with one hundred and fifteen grams of sugar in it.

101
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: He says he doesn't think they'll be able to do

102
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: that now. Opinions on the effort to remove or regulate

103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: unhealthy ingredients and foods are mixed. Outside this. Duncan in Metford.

104
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: Government should be hands off in general on things, and

105
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: parents should.

106
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,919

Speaker 1: their children.

108
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 5: I think it's an important issue, but I think it's

109
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 5: a little interesting that they're choosing to target coffee.

110
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: Shops for that.

111
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: I also don't think that Starbucks and Dunk should be

112
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: putting more sugar than necessary to coffees.

113
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,440

00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: taking injections of these GLP one drugs less frequently has

120
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: no effect on weight loss or healthier habits? Doctor's caution

121
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: This is a very small study, but indicates weight loss

122
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: is maintained even though dosing frequency declines. Now experts are

123

Speaker 1: careful to point out the results are achieved by taking

124
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,880
