Speaker 3: Violent person armed with a butcher knife. Wh're not talking

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: a little pocket knife. This was a butcher knife that

12
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: was threatening someone to stab them, and he was trying

13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 3: to stab tires on a bus. Upon encountering the officer,

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: he immediately went for his weapon. I won't speculate what

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: his intent was, but I'll allow you to do that

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 3: as well.

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 1: That gun did discharge at one point, but nobody was hit.

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: The suspect was taken into custody. We are hearing from

00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,559

00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 4: Harvard cares deeply about its Jewish Israeli community, has taken

25
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 4: proactive steps to address antisemitism, and vows to continue that

26
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 4: work during and after pro Palestinian rallies on campus. This

27

Speaker 4: yamakas are kept out of sight while school leaders turned

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,080

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: a federal judge reversed funding cuts at Harvard, ruling the

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: administration had punished the school for ideological purposes and used

00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: antisemitism as a smoke screen. Madison Rogers w b Z,

Speaker 1: State auditor Diana Dezauglio will be getting her day in court,

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,600

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: will appear in front of the state's highest court, but

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: not for the audit of the legislature she's been pushing

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: for and voters approved, but to see if she can

Speaker 1: legislature means the state's top lawyer, ag Andrea Campbell, is

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: representing the legislature, but when it comes to who will

42
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: represent the auditor, she's looking for outside council. The Supreme

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: Judicial Court will hear arguments and make a decision on

44
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: how this best can legally proceed. As the war with

45
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: Iran continues in the Middle East, Iran has been targeting

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: oil facilities in addition to keeping its blockade in on

47
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: an important trade route. The price of oil and gas skyrocketing,

48
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: experts warn it could get even worse. The President, though,

49
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,120

Speaker 5: have eliminated several layers of that country's leadership.

52
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: Well, having a hard time. We want to talk to them,

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: and there's nobody to talk to. We have nobody to

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: talk to, and you know what, we like it that way.

55

Speaker 5: Director of National Intelligence Tolcy Gabbard told lawmakers this week

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,040

Speaker 1: said right now, one adult victim's been identified and notified

65
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: that they were on camera. Police are working to identify others.

66
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: Prosecutors say Campbell's criminal history includes a costing and loud

67
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: and lascivious conduct, among other offenses. We've got some rain

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: moving in. It's off into the central part of the

69
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: state basically now and pushing off toward the east. Some

71
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,800

72
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: We got into the fifties today around these parts, and

73

Speaker 1: we'll fall back to about forty later on tonight with

74
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,760

80
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: wet snowflake in all of it as well, and then

81
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: on Monday we eventually get out of the rain windy conditions,

82
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: though in temperature is only in the upper thirties. Right

83
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: now it is fifty four degrees. You see in Boston, Well,

84
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: some parts of Boston look like a fog machine was

85
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: left on. So what gives Elephant Gerald does.

86
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 6: Steam?

87
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: He she sure does, and so does Boston. Wdz's Matt

88
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: Shearer went to find out We're all the steam it's

89
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: coming from.

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: Walking down Stuart Street in Boston, nearly every manhole has

91
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: steam coming out of it, and no one seems to

92
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: know why if yucky is due to air. So I

93
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: followed the path of the pipes and it led me here. Hey,

94
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: dons Don Silvia is the regional vice president of operations

95
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: for Vicinity Energy.

96
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: They do there make cupcakes?

97
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: What do they do? Right? They provide the steam for

98
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: about two hundred and fifty buildings in Boston, But where

99
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: do they get all the water for that?

100
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: Most of the water that we use actually comes from

101
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: the river.

102
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: The Charles River.

103
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: That is, we clean it up and get sent out

104
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: as steam. When he says green, he means clean. We

105
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: can make up to twelve hundred of ultra pure water.

106
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm in it. It's so clean that you can't drink it.

107
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: But you can, in fact breathe it in. So next

108
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: time you see a man hole cover vaping downtown, you

109
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: can just walk right through it.

110
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: To walk through the doodo air intentionally.

111
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: Is the Mats year WBZ, Boston's news radio, and you

112
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: can see more of Matt's steam adventures on WBC news radios, TikTok,

113
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: and Instagram. It's madness madness, I say March madness, and

114
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: all eyes are on College of Basketball these days. It's

115
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: only one Massachusetts teams in the tournament. It's the Holy

116
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: Cross women's team. They've got a big challenge in front

117
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: of them.

118
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 6: The Holy Cross Crusaders are a number fifteen seed heading

119
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 6: into the NCAA tournament. That means they have number two

120
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 6: Michigan as their first challenge, and it will be a

121
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 6: very tough test for first year head coach Candace Green

122
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 6: and her team. It's obviously a big margin, right the

123
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 6: gap is big. We're just hoping any kind of leadership,

124
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 6: any type of composure, any type of physicality we can

125
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 6: bring that can close that gap. Michigan is a heavy

126
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 6: favorite over the Crusaders, but they know they have one

127
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 6: thing that Michigan doesn't, and that's experience. Holy Cross has

128
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 6: a large contingent of seniors that have been in this

129
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 6: game before.

130
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: Experience really matters in these types of tournaments at this

131
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: time of March.

132
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 6: Despite the odds, holy Cross is going to represent their

133
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 6: school the best way they can by playing their gains.

134
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: It's going to be a challenge for us, but you

135
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: never know.

136
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 6: That's right, coach.

137
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,960
