1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news. Are

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: we ready, people, Let's play some ball. It's Wednesday morning

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: here in Boston under cloudy skies. It is an already

4
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: mild forty five degrees here in the city. The News

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: at six is brought to us by your new England

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: being with us this Wednesday morning. I'm Jeff Brown. It

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: is going to be a nifty fifty, a.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: Mainly dry mild day today with any sun giving way

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: to clouds in a high reaching lower fifties.

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: That is WBZ ACI weather meteorologist with the good news.

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: Joe Lundberg is there. Rain is coming up later on tonight.

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: It is time to get real at the airport or else.

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: We've long flown past the May twenty twenty five real

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: ID deadline, but a new one is fast approaching. Starting

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: February first, those who don't have a real ID or

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: other approved form of identification and still want to fly

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: have the option to pay a forty five dollars fee

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: to confirm their identity. Avery has a real ID but

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: has friends who don't. I don't think it's fair I

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: understand the system of separation within.

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: The airport to make it more regulated and streamlined, but

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: that just seems like a boundary to travel for me.

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: Bobby from Maine doesn't have a real ID, but says

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: or passport works just fine. The government will do anything

26
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: to make money. The TSA, meanwhile, is urging travelers who

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: don't have a real ID to schedule an appointment at

28
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: their local R and V to update their idea as

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: soon as possible at logan James Rojas WBZ Boston some

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: news radio.

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: So to put this in perspective, real ID has been

32
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: on the books and has been delayed several times. The

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: original real ID deadline was sixteen years ago. Health officials

34
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts say it's still pedaled to the metal time

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: for this season's flu, even though the number of cases

36
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: of the virus have slowed down in recent weeks. Experts

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: say Massachusetts and most of the rest of New England

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: for that matter, are still considered at very high risk

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: of spread, and this year's version is especially deadly, with

40
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: twice as many flu related deaths in Massachusetts this season

41
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: compared to last So far, in this region, sixty six

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: have died, including four Children, Bruins, Blank the Red Wings

43
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: at the Garden, Gime away fires, bows, chime, the call

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: on Nessen. Four wins in a row. They're off tonight.

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Seattle is in town tomorrow night at the Garden. The

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: Celtics also off tonight. They'll take their talents to Miami

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. In a dream of a fourth consecutive women's

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: Beanpot championship comes to a close for Northeastern as BU

49
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: wins in overtime, and another ticket lottery opens up today.

50
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: Wbz's Drew moholland is here with some details.

51
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: Good morning, Andrew, Morning Jeffrey, this time for the Summer

52
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 3: Olympics in Los Angeles, coming in July twenty twenty eight.

53
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: This is the third time LA will host the Summer Games.

54
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: Registration begins this morning for this ticket lotto. All right,

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: The cheapest ticket at the Olympics is twenty eight bucks.

56
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: Jeffrey, can I borrow twenty eight bucks? They've made it

57
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: an emphasis here to get some affordability at the game games.

58
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 4: More than one third of the tickets will be under

59
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 4: one hundred dollars. This year's Winter Olympics in the Line

60
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: gets underway on February.

61
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: Sixth, time moves fast.

62
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, in July twenty twenty, it's going to be here

63
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: before we know.

64
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: Now, that's what we always say, right in reality, it's

65
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: miles and miles away, all right, Andrew, thank you. It's

66
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: not exactly a beach day, but it feels like one

67
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: in the middle of winter, or at least it will,

68
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: with temperatures jumping into the lower fifties today. It however,

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: will be under mostly cloudy skies, so the beach may

70
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: be a destination if you want to take the dogs

71
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: for a run, but otherwise, this is an unusual day

72
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: for this time of year. We'll take it as our

73
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: January thaw continues and will extend for at least another day,

74
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: so we'll see mostly cloudy skies today. The rain looks

75
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: like it's going to hold off until overnight tonight, and

76
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: even at that it doesn't look like it's going to

77
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: amount to much. It'll be cloudy tomorrow morning with a

78
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: bit of leftover rain, and temperatures will rise again into

79
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: the mid to upper forties, but then a cold front

80
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: pushes through. As the clouds clear up later on in

81
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: the afternoon, temperatures will fall through the thirties and the

82
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: after and then on Friday, it looks like we're back

83
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: to our regularly scheduled winter with sunshine mixing with clouds, continued,

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: windy highs just around freezing. Right now in Boston it's

85
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: forty five under cloudy skies at six oh five on

86
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: this Wednesday morning. Protests continue in Iran, egg gone by

87
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: President Trump, who promises US support even though the Islamic

88
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Republic leaders of that country continue their vicious crackdown.

89
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 2: We're hearing that they're going to start hanging protesters. So

90
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: it comes back to the question, have they crossed your

91
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: red line or as the line moved. I haven't heard

92
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: about the hanging.

93
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: If they hang them, you're going to see some things

94
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: that I don't know what your where you come from,

95
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: and what your thought process is, but you'll perhaps.

96
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: Be very happy. What do you mean by that? We

97
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: will take very strong action.

98
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: President Trump's comments on the CBS Evening News in an

99
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: exclusive interview with Tony Dicoppol, several conflicting reports on the

100
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: number of casualties in Iran, more than twenty five hundred killed,

101
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: among the most reliable numbers. In a stunning about face,

102
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: federal officials admit they messed up in the recent deportation

103
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: of a Babson College freshman. Nineteen year old Annie Lopez

104
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Biosa was whisked away by immigration agents at Logan Airport

105
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: as she was about to board a Thanksgiving flight in

106
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: an effort to make a surprise visit to family in Texas.

107
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: Lopez Biosa instead was surprised herself and sent to Honduras,

108
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: where she's been staying with family and taking her classes online.

109
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: The FEDS apologize for expelling her in violation of a

110
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: court order. The decision now paves the way for the

111
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: teenager's return to the United States, but it's not clear

112
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: when that's going to happen. The upcoming trial for a

113
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: North Endover police officer shot on her own doorstep has

114
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: been delayed. Colleagues of Kelsey Fitzsimmons opened fire on her

115
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: while trying to deliver a restraining order at her home

116
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: last summer, and after prosecutors say she pointed a gun

117
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: at them. Fitzsimmons has pleaded not guilty and was set

118
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: for trial next month, but a lawyer's scheduling conflict will

119
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: push jury selection into March. Simmens is now free. Defense

120
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: lawyers say she suffered from postpartum depression and when the

121
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: former fiance. When a former fiance got a restraining order

122
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: on fears that she would harm the couple's newborn Hollywood

123
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: icon Keefer, Sutherland takes a hit to his wallet and

124
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: his pride too, after being arrested for roughing up a

125
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: rideshare driver in Los Angeles. Police say Sutherland got into

126
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: it with his driver in the Hollywood Hills Monday morning

127
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: and took it a step further by making criminal threats

128
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: to the victim. The driver is okay. Sutherland is out

129
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars in bond money, and we'll be back

130
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: in court on February seconds. You are now in the

131
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: loop for news updates throughout the day. Listen to WBZ
