00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,279
Speaker 1: Is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: News thirty degrees in Boston at four o'clock at afternoon nine,

3
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: Suzanne Salsville, here's what's happening. The United States has attacked

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. We

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: get the very latest now in the CBS News special report.

6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: President Trump is crowing over the overnight US military operation

7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: that captured Venezuela and President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: The first attack was so successful, we probably don't have

9
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: to do a second, but we're prepared to do a

10
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: second wave, a much bigger wave.

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: But what will it mean in the long run. CBS

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: faced the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan with this.

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: Is regime change. It was only partially done. And you

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 3: heard President Trump somewhat linked to that in thought by

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: saying there's a second wave of military action that could

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: take place, but it wasn't needed today. It seems to

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: be that he was indicating that they will let the

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 3: Maduro regime stay without Maduro himself running it, if they

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 3: behave whatever that means.

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: Venezuela is calling the operation at imperialist attack and the

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: United nations call it the development a dangerous precedent and

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: expresses concerned that it's a violation of international law. CBS

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: News special report I'm Alison Keyes.

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: A local professor who specializes in Latin American politics, has

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: more on what this could mean for the future of

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: the region.

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 4: Doctor Luis Umanez is an assistant professor of political science

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 4: at UMass Boston who specializes in Latin American politics. He says,

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 4: with so much uncertainty in the immediate aftermath, there's no

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 4: way to know what the future holds. But the most

31
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: important thing is that there is some form of stability,

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: so there is an anarchy in Venezuela or even a

33
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 4: civil war. If you have.

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 5: Anarchy like they've already had so much and so many problems,

35
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 5: economic and so on and so forth. But then if

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 5: you also have anarchy where it's on top of everything else,

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 5: more or less, you know, people are still as bad

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 5: as things are in Venezuela. People are still living their

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 5: lives and whatever's not Syria, it could easily become more

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 5: like that.

41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: But he adds that this action by the US could

42
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 4: have broader international implications. He says it's unprecedented for the

43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: US to launch a boots on the ground offensive like

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: this in South America, and it could open the door

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: for other nations to do simpler things in other parts

46
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: of the world.

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 5: It's bringing back this nineteenth century politics where the mighty

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 5: can do whatever they want and good luck. That is

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 5: not good for anybody, even if you think you're the

50
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 5: mighty one.

Speaker 2: in response to the strikes and Maduro's capture. Speakers are

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: slamming the administration's actions.

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: Does the US government have any light to kidnap the

56
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: president of another nation?

57
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: Massachusetts Peace Action organize the rally against what it calls

58
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: an illegal regime change and war in Venezuela. They're demanding

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: an immediate end to hostilities and that the US abide

60
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,480

00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 6: seed in the conference. They are separate instances in different cities,

76
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 6: but were revealed within a day of each other earlier

77
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 6: this week.

78
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 7: But I want to hear. I want to be here

79
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,560

Speaker 6: Patriots wide receiver Stefan Diggs stepping in front of reporters

81
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,919

82
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 6: assaulting and strangulating his personal chef during an alleged dispute

83
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 6: over her pay, charges Digs vehemently denies.

84
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 7: Obviously, it's a different time. I'm very emotional. Time taken

85
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 7: back boss, some you know things that's been going on.

86
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 6: The Patriots released a statement throwing their full support behind Diggs.

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 6: That same level of support was not expressed in their

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 6: statement regarding the case against Christian Barmore, the defensive tackle

89
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 6: charged with assault after allegedly throwing his pregnant girlfriend to

90
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 6: the ground. Mansfield Police reported it stemmed from an argument

91
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 6: over a thermostat his attorney, claiming no criminal conduct took

92
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 6: place and called it a personal matter in a statement.

93
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,440

00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: a home in the area of Kessel and Oak Streets

97
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: yesterday morning, where they reported finding about one hundred pounds

98
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: of marijuana. Grafton police say some of the marijuana was

99
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: being processed into edibles. Authorities did not release the suspect's

100
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: name because the investigation is ongoing, and say others may

101
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: face charges. Well. The holiday season is over. Now, it's

102
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: the season of gift returns and there are some rules

103
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,160

106
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 8: but shoppers should be prepared to pay up. According to

00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 8: the National Retail Federation, more than seventy cent of stores

108
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 8: are charging for returns this year through shipping and restocking fees.

109
