Speaker 1: as southern New Hampshire. This morning. Just a handful of

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: delays and cancelations at Logan Airport and power outages are

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: not a problem, according to Mema as we get sent

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,160

00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: will be doing this dance throughout the day, helping keep

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: our streets and sidewalks safe in Chelsea. James Rojas WBZ,

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: Boston's News Radio, it's perfect ten for the Patriots to

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: extend a league best winning streak over the Giants on

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. The Patriots in primetime are now back

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: with the best record in the NFL. Bruins and Celtics

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: are both back in action. Tonight. The Bees head to

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Detroit as the Celtics will host the Knicks at the Garden.

35
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: Change is not always good, but it's inevitable in professional sports,

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: and so it is that the Celtics have lost their

37
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: grip on most highly paid athletes in town with an

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: off season which unloaded several stars in an effort to

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: better manage the salary cap. The Boston Business Journal reports

40
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: this morning Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown still top the

41
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: list of highest paid pro athletes in Boston, but the

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: Patriots take the cake with most of them. Trevor's story

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: leads the Red Sox payroll at more than twenty two million,

44
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: and David Pasternak gets the Bruins nod at more than

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: eleven million. Today is Giving Tuesday, which brings an official

46
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: end to the holiday shopping kickoff with a chance for

47
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: millions of Americans to give back or pay it forward.

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Since twenty twelve, it's always been celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving,

49
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: and the movement is taken off like a rocket, with

50
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: donations designed to transform local communities closing in on three

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: billion dollars, and like the butterfly that flaps its wings,

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: the movement is turned into a worldwide phenomenon led by

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: some of the largest companies and organizations anywhere on the planet.

54
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Groups in Massachusetts stress that taking part in Giving Tuesday

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: means also a donation of your time, not just your money,

56
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: and money does grow on trees. Apparently, Yukon Cornelia says

57
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: it best none to be found, though no winters in

58
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: power Ball again tomorrow. Night's Jackpod rises to seven hundred

59
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: and seventy five million dollars. It is so far pretty

60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: quiet here in Greater Boston this morning as we await

61
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: the first winter storm of the fall season. As winter

62
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: comes a little bit early this time around, we're watching

63
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: and with a winter weather advisory in effect near in

64
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: northwest of four ninety five beginning at seven o'clock this morning.

65
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: The snowflakes and the mixed precipitation will start falling later

66
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: this morning, but a shift in the polar vortex, as

67
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: many meteorologists thought might be possible, is going to push

68
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: most of the snow outside four ninety five. The Jackpod

69
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: regions today are going to be in western Massachusetts and

70
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: southern New Hampshire and Vermont, with up to a foot

71
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: of snow in those locations, several plowable inches of snow

72
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: north and west of four ninety five and inside that

73
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: beltway closer to one twenty eight in the city. This

74
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: is going to be mixed precipitation or in some cases

75
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: in Boston and points south. This will be all rain,

76
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: so either way it is going to be a chilly

77
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: start to the day. In fact, it's thirty one right

78
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: now in Boston and we're in the twenties elsewhere. We're

79
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: already seeing the snow flying in portions of central and

80
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: western Mass this morning, with of course more to come.

81
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: It's a relatively quick hitting storm. It'll be out of

82
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: our way overnight tonight as it'll come to a conclusion,

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: and then tomorrow we return to some sunshine. High temperatures

84
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: approach forty degrees, clouds mixing with sun and becoming increasingly

85
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: windy on Thursday, with a high end the forties and

86
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: barely freezing on Friday to around out the work week.

87
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: Right now in Boston, on a very complicated weather day,

88
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: it is thirty one degrees and clouds here in Boston

89
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,919

Speaker 1: resumes in the Brian Walsh murder trial in Norfolk Superior

93
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: Court this morning. During opening statements, defense lawyers give an

94
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: explanation behind what prosecutors say was the brutal killing of

95
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: his wife, Anna in the couple's cohas at home almost

96
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: three years ago, and claim his wife died by natural causes,

97
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: but admit he did dispose of her body. Defense lawyers

98
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: tell the jury that Walsh thought no one would ever

99
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: believe his thirty nine year old, healthy wife died so suddenly,

100
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: and immediately thought of his kids, hence the cover up.

101
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: What will happen if they think he did something bad

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: to end? Where will those three boys go?

103
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: Walsh has already pleaded guilty to two lesser charges. Anna's

104
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: body has never been found. Jay will leed BBZ Boston's

Speaker 2: news radio. Coffee is expensive, and Starbucks is finding that

106
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: out the hard way. The coffee giant settles up with

107
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: New York City officials in a thirty nine million dollar

108
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: deal that will pay most of the money to baristas

109
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: who claim the company's scheduling practices are illegal. Workers claim

110
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: the company often changed weekly work schedules and cut hours

111
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: under its flexible system. Starbucks will also pay millions of

112
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 2: dollars more to comply with the city's Fair Work Week

113

Speaker 3: Yeah, we told you the airports were busy over Thanksgiving break.

120
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: Would we lie to you?

121
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: No? Boy?

122
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: Were they ever? How about Sunday? Okay people coming home

123
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: from the holiday weekend. The TSA says it's screened more

00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: than three point one million passengers in all time new

125
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,600

126
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: the nation's mid section, for one, but officials say each

Speaker 3: of the ten busiest days at airports have occurred over

128
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,520
