2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: one degrees in Boston, little bit of rain at four o'clock.

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. A pushback

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: from health experts and climate scientists after the Environmental Protection

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: Agency rolled back at environmental finding.

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Coalition of health and environmental organizations are suing the EPA

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: following the agency's decision to repeal the endangerment finding it

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: found greenhouse gases, including the carbon monoxide emitted from a

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: car's tailpipe, posed danger to public health. In repealing that finding,

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: groups like the American Lung Association and the Union of

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: Concerned Scientists alleged the Trump administration is rehashing legal arguments

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: that were already rejected in a two thousand and seven

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: Supreme Court case, like Debuski. ABC News an.

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Update today about the search for the fishing vessel that

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: sank off the coast of kpe Ann last month. W's

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: Jeremy Russ's as the Tales.

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 3: Nearly three weeks after the Lily Jean went down, the Coastguard,

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: Noah and state elected officials now say the focus is

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: on finding the wreckage and comforting the loved ones of

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: the seven people who died, Governor Mora Heally.

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 4: And the reality right now is we have a situation

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 4: where we essentially have a grave out at sea, and

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 4: that is a very very difficult, difficult situation for all

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 4: of these family members.

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: Two of the people who died were Paul Beale and

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: his son, Paul Beal Junior. Bill Senior's brother said he's

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: thankful for the search effort.

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 5: Hopefully, in the future the investigation will give us some

29
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 5: light on what happened, but as of now, only God

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 5: knows what happened.

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: That faithful Morning.

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: Search crews say harsh weather and rough surf for making

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: the investigation more difficult. In Gloucester, Jeremy Russ w b Z,

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: Boston's news radio.

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Prosecutors in Paris are opening two new investigations tied to

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. They're calling on possible victims in France to

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: come forward. One of the cases covers sex abuse crimes.

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: The other cover's financial wrongdoing a prosecutor in France. As

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: investigators want to use newly released US files, media reports,

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: and fresh complaints to build a broader picture. Older French

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: files on Epstein will also be getting reviewed a billionaire

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: who helped make Jeffrey Epstein his fortunes being deposed, less

43
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: Wexner being asked about this one time association with a

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: late sex trafficker, providing testimony to the House Oversight Committee

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: behind closed doors.

46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 6: Less Wexner founded the popular clothing store The Limited in

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 6: the nineteen sixties. He was the main client of Jeffrey

48
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 6: Epstein's financial management business starting in the nineteen eighties. Documents

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 6: show the FBI initially eyed Wexner as a possible Epstein

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 6: co conspirator, but prosecutors later said there was limited evidence

51
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 6: regarding his involvement in the abuse of women and girls.

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 6: The eighty eight year old has denied any involvement in

53
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 6: those crimes and says Epstein stole hundreds of millions of

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 6: dollars from him.

55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: Madam ABC, Stephen Portnoy, Mark Zuckerberg testifying in a landmark

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: trial in LA involving social media addiction and children. He

57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Meta CEO has appeared before before Congress, but this is

58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: the first time he's testifying at a trial. A young

59
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: woman has sued Meta, TikTok and YouTube, claiming she got

60
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: addicted to social media sites as a kid says she

61
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: suffers anxiety and depression as a result of that. This

62
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: could be a milestone case as it could impact the

63
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: outcome of sixteen hundred other pending social media addiction cases

64
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: across the country. The judge mentioned in court today that

65
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: if anyone records the proceeding using meta glasses, they'll be

66
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: held in contempt. The snow and rain hasn't really developed

67
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: to anything more than rain. A little bit of snowflake

68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: activity has been mixing in here and there, but it's

69
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: mostly rain right now, and this precipitation is also sliding

70
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: off to the south. There's more behind it, but nonetheless

71
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: this batch is slipping to the south, and now it's

72
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: south of Route two and moving in toward the Worcester

73
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: or the back edge of the precipitation. Revere, Boston, Quincy

74
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: looking at some rain right now. But this is not

75
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: what we had really expected. There was supposed to be

76
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: some more snow mixing in, but it's just been too

77
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: warm fact forty degrees in Fitchburg, so that's not going

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: to support snow. And it doesn't matter anyway, because right

79
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: now Fitchburg's not even under the precipitation shield, so we'll

80
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: watch it. But there's some rain and there'll be some

81
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: mixed snow coming as we go into the end of

82
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: the evening and through the night where temperatures do get

83
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: below freezing, but not a lot of accumulation from this.

84
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Maybe some slick roads, doorsteps, things like that as the

85
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: temperatures fall, but looking at maybe maybe a coating to

86
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: an inch or so out in the western suburbs, and

87
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: almost nothing, probably nothing at all in the city of

88
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: Boston from this particular storm. So we dodge one partially

89
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: Sunday tomorrow about forty for the high and then Friday,

90
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to dodge this, but it won't be significant,

91
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: just a bit of nuisance stuff could accumulate a bit,

92
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: but it's snow into Friday night and Saturday morning. Some

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: of that snow will mix with sleet and rain in

94
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: some areas, especially south of Boston, with temperatures Friday in

95
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: the mid thirties, temperature Saturday in the low thirties. And yeah,

96
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: we do have that threat of snow for Sunday night

97
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: into Monday, something we are continuing to watch. Right now,

98
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: it's forty one degrees in Boston. If you love them, well,

99
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: you love them McDonald shamrock shakes greener pastures for those

100
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: who indulge, even as winter's locked in. Mint flavor is

101
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: like iconic.

102
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 5: Oh yes, that min flavor is good and it's also iconic.

103
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 5: I was able to find a shamrock shake machine out

104
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 5: of Mickey D's up and running in good standing here

00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 5: a good old fashioned shamrock shake.

108
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's insane.

109
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 5: These are tasty. It's cold outside, but it's still good

110
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: if you haven't had one. Man, it is icy, it

111
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,360

112
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 5: Leprechawn green with a little hint of bit chocolate chip

113

Speaker 7: eat within two hours of waking up, or else it's

123
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,600
