1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: Fifty seven degrees in Boston right now, plenty of sun

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: out there at eleven o'clock and you have made it

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: to Friday. Thanks for spending part of it with us.

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening. We're counting down the

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: hours until the four crew members of the Artemis two

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: mission return to Earth. The Orion spacecraft is set to

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: splash down off the coast of San Diego just after

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 2: eight o'clock Eastern at times, careening down to Earth at

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 2: twenty four thousand miles an hour. Here's abc'sgi Opinias.

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: After the O'Rion hits the water, the recovery team moves in.

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 3: Two helicopters will hoist the astronauts up and bring them

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 3: onto a ship where they will be medically evaluated before

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 3: boarding an aircraft to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston,

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: where they will be reunited with their loved ones and

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: finally get a chance to reflect on that historic raw.

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: And one of the members of that crew, one of

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: the first first people the astronauts are going to see

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: when they get here, is from Chelsea Navy Chief Hospital

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,639
Speaker 2: Corman Vlad Link is a member of the dive medical

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: team that's going to open up the capsule and help

22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: the crew members out. Link has eighteen years of dive

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: medicine experience. He says he's proud to represent both his

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: family and his hometown at eleven oh one. The Garden

25
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: is going to be packed Tomorrow night with hockey fans,

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: but we're not talking Bruins.

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 4: The Boston Fleet are headed to Cosway Street set to

28
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: play at the Garden this weekend. It is also the

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: first time the arena will host a pro women's hockey game.

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: It's a sellout. The Fleet and Montreal Puck will drop

31
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 4: at seven o'clock tomorrow night, a capacity of seventeen, eight

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty for hockey. The matchup was this close

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: to sitting an all time attendance record for women's pro hockey,

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 4: but the New York Sirens Seattle Torrent game beat it

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 4: by a week, with a crowd of more than eighteen

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: thousand showing up at MSG in New York on April fourth.

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 4: Jim McKay WBZ Boston's news radio.

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: New bill ushering in major changes to cannabis regulation is

39
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: now sitting on Governor Moore Healey's desk. If the governor

40
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: signs it into law, this will allow cannabis businesses in

41
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: Massachusetts to hold six licenses instead of three, and to

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: overhaul the state's Cannabis Control Commission. Now, business owners who

43
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: have not paid their debts to other cannabis businesses would

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: also find themselves on a so called delinquent list. This

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: would require them to pay off those debts before they

46
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: could start doing business with other companies again. As for users,

47
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: you'd be able to possess two ounces of pot for

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: recreational use instead of one. And new inflation data is

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: out this morning from the FEDS showing inflation is at

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: its highest level in four years, driven in part by

51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: high energy prices spiking during the war in the Middle East,

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 2: and that rising cost is now trickling down to consumers.

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 5: While eggs are down in the past year, staples like

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 5: ground beef up fifteen percent, let us up fifteen percent,

55
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 5: coffee up eighteen percent. That's in part because of tariffs.

56
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 5: So Moody's Analytics says inflation already costing the typical household

57
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 5: an extra one hundred and seventy dollars per month compared

58
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 5: to last year. Oil at this level for one year

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 5: is going to add on another fourteen hundred dollars in

60
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 5: gas and diesel costs.

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: That is ABC's Elizabeth Chalsey with that update. Looking at

62
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: the weekend forecast, Let's start with today, of course, because

63
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: it's going to be another gorgeous day outside. If you've

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: got some time to maybe walk around during launch or

65
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: even do some workoutside, I think it will be warm

66
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: enough for you to do that. Many of us are

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: in the mid to upper fifties right now, getting up

68
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: to the low sixties in the Boston area seeing seventies

69
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: if you're in the western suburbs. Certainly a little bit

70
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: cooler on the Capan Islands. That pesky breeze off the

71
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: water is keeping you in the fifties today for tonight,

72
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: partly to mostly cloudy. A couple of showers could show

73
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: up tonight, and we've got a low in the upper forties.

74
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: Saturday Tomorrow looking good, hih in year sixty with a

75
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: sunny sky and a light breeze. For your Sunday, some

76
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: clouds move in. We've got a high in the fifties

77
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: and we could see some rain on Sunday night into Monday.

78
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: Temperatures Right now we're at fifty five in Hingham west

79
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: of Boston fifty seven and Maynard north of Boston. In

80
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: Georgetown fifty six. In Boston at eleven oh five, it's

81
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: partly cloudy and fifty seven degrees. Vice President J. D.

82
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: Vance is off on his way to Pakistan ahead of

83
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: peace tax with Iran. The fragile ceasefire appears to be

84
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: holding for now between the US, Israel, and Iran, but

85
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: the straight of war moves is one of several sticking points.

86
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: I think we can guess the Strait of hor moves

87
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: will certainly be at the top of the agenda. Iran's

88
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: nuclear program will be on that agenda, and of course

89
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: Iran's ballistic missiles program and very likely its proxies around

90
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: the region. These are very thorny issues and are going

91
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: to be very complex.

92
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: That is CBS's MTAs Taijab. Now Iran has essentially kept

93
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: the straight closed over problems between Israel and has Belah.

94
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: Iranian state media today saying the talks won't even happen

95
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: tomorrow unless Israel stops its attacks in Lebanon, and that

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: continued fighting has been a pressure point on the ongoing ceasefire.

97
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 2: There are questions over whether the situation in Lebanon is

98
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: considered part of the deal. Here's the BBC's death DeSimone.

99
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 6: Israel saying it air strikes in Lebanon, saying it was

100
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 6: striking against has followed rocket launchers and has qualified saying

101
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 6: it fired rockets into Israel overnight and there were misshole

102
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 6: alerts here in Israel. Israel insisting that Lebanon is not

103
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 6: included in this ceasefive deal. Iran and Pakistan saying it

104
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 6: was the US currently backing Israel on that now.

105
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: Reaps from Israel and Lebanon are expected to meet in Washington,

106
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: d C. Next week four talks of their own, Israeli

107
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who says those discussions are aimed

108
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: at disarming Hesblah and establishing relations between the two countries.

109
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: Survivors of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are now

110
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: criticizing First Lady Milania Trump's surprise statement yesterday in which

111
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: he came out and denied any relationship with Epstein and

112
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: called for a public hearing from victims. In a joint statement,

113
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 2: a group of survivors are now accusing the First Lady

114
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: of quote shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions

115
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: to protect those in power. They call it a deflection

116
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: of responsibility, not justice, and say it also diverts attention

117
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: from former Attorney General Pam Bondi, whom they say has

118
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: to answer for withheld files and the exposure of survivor identities.

119
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: The First Lady's statement reportedly surprised a lot of people

120
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: at the White House.

121
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 7: One person that is close to First Lady Malania Trump,

122
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 7: tells me there was some discussion about whether or not

123
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 7: she should go forward with this statement right now since

124
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 7: this wasn't really in the headlines, but that she had

125
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 7: been irritated by some of what she was seeing online,

126
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 7: so she decided to come forward and address the American

127
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 7: people now.

128
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: As ABC's Rachel Scott and in Bridgewater, overnight, a police

129
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: officer and good Samaradan jumped into action to help save

130
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: a family as their home burned around them. All This

131
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: played out at one thirty or so in the morning

132
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: around the Crescent Street neighborhood. Bridgewater's fire chief says somebody

133
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: was driving by notice the fire called nine to one

134
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: one for help. When police showed up, they were able

135
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: to bang on the door, wake everybody up and get

136
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 2: them out, along with a couple of pets. Everybody again

137
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: did get out okay, but the home is a total loss,

138
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: along with the garage in two cars. Officials say they're

139
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 2: still looking into what exactly happened here. You are now

140
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: in the league. For news updates throughout the day, listen

141
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: to WBZ News Radio on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Nicole Davis,

00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,440
