00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: fifty five degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm Betton Parker. Here's what's happening. This is day thirty

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: of the federal government shutdown. The Senate still can't pass

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: the bill to get the money flowing again. Republicans have

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: said yes, but Democrats want healthcare issues rolled in, and

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: they've said no more than a dozen times. Each side

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: blames the other, and as the clock ticks towards snap

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: benefits ending after tomorrow, Massachusetts Governor Morrihey blames the Trump administration.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: Right now, the USDA is sitting on twenty three billion

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 2: dollars in a contingency fund that could be used to

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: pay these benefits out across the country. In fact, that's

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: what other presidents have done during a shutdown, but this

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: president has made a decision to not provide those.

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: Funds at the same time. The lawsuit being argued today,

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: filed by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell and nearly two

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: dozen other aggs along with others, it claims the widely

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: used food assistance program was suspended unlawfully. They're alleging the

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: Trump administration has the money to continue the snap benefits

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: and is legally required to do so. Thousands of specialized

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: National Guard personnel are being told by the Pentagon to

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: complete civil unrest mission training over the next several months.

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: The Washington Post reports the Defense Department's newly established Quick

24
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: Reaction Force within the National Guard must be trained, equipped

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: with riot control gear, and ready for deployment by January first.

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: The documents say troops will be drawn from National Guard

27
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: personnel whose primary focus is responding to disasters like nuclear

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: accidents and terrorist attacks. The Senate votes fifty one to

29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: forty seven to eliminate the global tariffs unilaterally imposed by

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: President Trump.

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: It's the third time this week that the Senate has

32
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: passed a resolution to end the president's emergency tariffs for

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: Republicans joined with Democrats on a measure specifically targeting the

34
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: global import taxes that are now the subject of a

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: high stake Supreme Court challenge, But the action in the

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: Senate is likely to end there, as House leaders have

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: engineered a rules change to block similar votes, and even

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: if a bill striking the tariffs were to wind up

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: on the President's desk, in surely.

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Veto that is ABC Stephen Portnoy. Thousands of dollars in

41
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: donations are stolen from a church in Watertown. About nine

42
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: thousand dollars were taken from Saint Patrick's Church sometime after

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: five point thirty in the afternoon Monday. The theft was

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: reported Tuesday morning. Watertown police have been asking for the

45
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: public's help by turning over surveillance footage or providing information.

46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: The money stolen was going to be used to cover

47
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: day to day operational costs rounding up suspects in the

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: break in at the move, Five more people have now

49
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: been arrested in connection with the Paris heist where some

50
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: of France's Crown jewels were stolen.

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: As follows the arrests of two other suspects Saturday night,

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: police now believe they have three of the four men

53
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 4: suspected of robbing the louver in custody. Prosecutors now charging

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 4: two of them with gang related robbery, saying in questioning

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: they partly admitted their involvement. No evidence an insider at

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: the loof was involved. The jewels have still not been recovered.

57
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: Investigators say they're watching the legal art market as well

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 4: as illegal channels. Even though the century's old jewelry would

59
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: be incredibly hard to sell. Tom Siphy Burridge, ABC News

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: at the loof.

61
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: We have the rain. It is marching in our direction

62
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: from a couple of different directions out west and from

63
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: the south. So we'll get in on some pretty heavy

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: rain as we head through the evening. We've had some

65
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: drizzle around, continue to have that now, may get through

66
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: the afternoon commute before the real heavy stuff gets in here,

67
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: just depends on I guess what time you're commuting home.

68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: This rain that was out in eastern New York State

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: has pushed into the Berkshires and it's making a little

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: more inroads into western Massachusetts and western Connecticut. New York

71
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: City has been getting some pretty heavy rains too. From

72
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: this line of showers. There's probably some pretty heavy downpours

73
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: mixed in there too. With the bright reds in the

74
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: ACI weather radar. We have more rain off to our

75
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: south that is pushing up to the north and that

76
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: will come in us the Cape and Islands and Rhode

77
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: Island and into the South Shore and then eventually Boston

78
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: later tonight. But again timing is everything, and it looks

79
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: like the timing maybe after the evening commute, so overnight

80
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: most of the time, you may be sleeping when the

81
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: rain is falling, and then by the time you get

82
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: up tomorrow morning, it'll be wet. There could be some

83
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: ponding on your driveway or your backyard if you have

84
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: poor drainage, because it's going to rain pretty heavily for

85
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: a while. Although moving through relatively quickly, will end up

86
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: with just variably cloudy skies tomorrow, a bit of a

87
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: wind and temperatures near sixty but with that wind, which

88
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: could gust over forty miles an hour, temperatures could feel

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: like they're in the fifty degree range instead. By the

90
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: time trick or treaters go out tomorrow night, it looks

91
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: like we'll have partly cloudy skies, but it will be blustery,

92
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: temperatures falling from the fifties into the forties, and that

93
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: wind'll make it feel even chillier. So maybe a little

94
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: bundling up under the costume. Windy on Saturday with some sunshine,

95
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: temperatures in the upper fifties, and then mid fifties with

96
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: some sunshine on Sunday. Right now fifty five degrees in Boston.

97
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: Housing is really expensive around these but You already knew

98
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: that where you park yourself is a big deal, So too,

99
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: it appears, is where you park your car, and it'll

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: cost you if you have a special home for that car.

101
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 5: If you're looking to buy a home in the Greater

102
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 5: Boston area, no surprise, Cambridge is among the most expensive

103
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 5: places to do so, with a median single family home

104
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 5: going for two point two million. But get this, if

105
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 5: it has a garage as well, that adds another one

106
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 5: point three million. On average, that's more than any other

107
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: city in the US. Now, Boston itself was close behind,

108
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 5: ranked third nationally at just over a million, according to

109
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 5: garage dot com, which yes, is a real website. And

110
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: as you might expect, garages are far less costly where

111
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 5: home values are lower. Adding a garage to a house

112
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 5: in Toledo, Ohio, for example, the cheapest in the country,

113
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 5: just one hundred thousand dollars. Matt Sheer WBZ, Boston's news radio.

114

Speaker 1: Want to make a song. No, you can, and people have,

115
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: but it raised some eyebrows. Now Universal Music Group is

116
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: teaming up with an AI song generator in a music

117
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: industry first.

118
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 6: Universal Sony Music and Warner Records sue the AI platforms

119
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 6: Udio and Suno last year over copyright infringement. Those platforms

120
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 6: allow you to create songs simply by typing in a few.

121
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: Prompts and then quick remix Wow.

122
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 6: The record labels accused Udio and Suno of exploiting the

123
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 6: recorded works of artists without compensating them. Now, not only

124
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 6: has Universal reached a settlement with Udo, but the two

125
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 6: have agreed on a licensing deal and will team up

126
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 6: to create new music. Michael Wallace, CBS News.
