6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,920

22
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: agents across the country doesn't.

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: Affect his flight. I don't know at Terminal A James Rojas,

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: wb Z Boston some news radio.

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, those TSA workers have not been paid in weeks

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: due to the partial government shutdown, and some of the

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: nation's biggest airlines are now urging Washington to get a

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,200

Speaker 4: lawmakers to come together to fund the Transportation Security Administration.

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 4: Air travelers agree.

33
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 5: I think it's just outrageous that our TSA workers are

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 5: being paid.

35
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,400

Speaker 6: I thought like, yeah, this could be it, Like I

46
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 6: didn't know what was going on. So like Minya, it

47
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 6: was a very scary experience, like one of the scariest

48
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 6: experience in my life.

49

00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: at fifty five in Boston at eleven oh five, it

85
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: is foggy and a little bit rainy and fifty two.

86
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: Now to the war in Iran, where the Strait of

87
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: Hormuz is essentially still shut down. President Trump calling on

88
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: NATO allies to help police the waterway and get oil

89
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: shipments through. Here's ABC's Ian panel in tel Aviv.

90
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 7: Trump is trying to pressure world powers, including the UK,

91
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 7: France and Italy to help keep the Strait of Hormoves

92
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 7: open as oil prices skyrocket. This after Australia and Japan

93
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 7: already refused his request. The President won't give specifics on

94
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 7: which countries might sign on, but the Strait of Hormus,

95
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 7: through which roughly twenty percent of the world's oil travels,

96
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 7: is now a no go zone for shipping with the

97
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 7: constant threat of Iranian drone and missile attacks.

98
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: Now, the President says, the wrong response quote will be

99
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 2: very bad for the future of NATO. As of now,

100
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: all the countries he has reached out to have yet

101
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: to commit to any sort of assistance. The United Kingdom

102
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: says it's exploring options, Germany saying out right it refuses

103
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: to help as this is quote not NATO's war. War

104
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: still pushing up prices at the pump. State side. Here's

105
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: WBZ Serry Small.

106
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 8: Prices at the pump are up enough to catch people's attention.

107
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 8: Larry Winthrop drives a pickup truck. It requires premium grade

108
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 8: supreme gas, so he's getting hit especially hard. How much

109
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 8: is it setting you back to fill this up.

110
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: With the full tank.

111
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: It'll probably cost me almost one hundred dollars, so I

112
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 3: think I'm at twenty five twenty six gallon tank. So

113
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 3: when we get up over four dollars a gallon, it

114
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: gets expensive.

115
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 8: For regular gas. Triple A has the average price here

116
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 8: in Massachusetts at three point fifty six a gallon. That's

117
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 8: up sixty six cents a gallon from just a month ago.

118
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: What does that do to the budget.

119
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: It's a big hit and it'll probably cause us to

120
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: reel back on how often we camp this year.

121
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: It takes away from the budget.

122
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 8: In Medford, Sherry Small WBZ Boston's news radio.

123
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: And we'll get the latest on the war in Iran

124
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: coming up throughout the day right here on WBZ streaming

125
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: always on the iHeartRadio app. Criminal charges are apparently coming

126
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 2: at against an MBTA bus driver. Weeks after that driver

127
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 2: crashed into a house in Medford. Transit police say the

128
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: driver was either asleep or drowsy when he crashed on

129
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: Playstead Road just before two am. Investigators say the driver

130
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: had been crossing the double yellow line before the crash

131
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: and apparently did not stop for a red light on

132
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: a ramp coming off I ninety three. Now, they say

133
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: whether it was not a factor, as it was almost

134
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: fifty degrees and it appears the driver did not actually

135
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: hit the brakes before hitting the building. The driver did

136
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: was treated for a wrist injury at the hospital but

137
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 2: is expected to be okay. You are now in Malu.

138
