1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: Sixty one degrees, lots of sun at Logan Airport. Over

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 2: at eleven o'clock. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis, and here's

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: what's happening. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says today will be

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: the most intensive day of strikes inside Iron yet. He

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: made the comment this morning while delivering the Pentagon's latest

7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: official update on the war. But despite warning about the

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: war intensifying, he also maintains this is not a so

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: called forever war. This is not endless, it's not protracted.

10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: We're not allowing mission creep.

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: The President has set a very specific mission to accomplish,

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 3: and our job is to unrelentingly deliver that.

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: Now he gets to control the throat.

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 4: Now.

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: President Trump did campaign on not getting the US into

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: any more of what he called forever wars. He is

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: facing more criticism over this current conflict, which has drawing

18
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: comparisons to the war in Iraq. President Trump maintains, that's

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: not what this is.

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: Doing really well.

21
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 5: I mean, at a level that nobody thought.

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: We took a little excursion because we felt we had

23
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: to do that to get rid of some evil and

24
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: I think guess he's going to be a short term excursion.

25
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: Although he says the war will be short lived, he

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: has stopped short of offering any concrete timeline for when

27
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: it might wrap up. Just a few minutes ago in

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: Washington's Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts telling reporters she will

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: vote a hard no on any kind of supplemental funding

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: request from the White House, saying the American people don't

31
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: want this war. Much of the Middle East remains a

32
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: battlefield this hour. Here's ABC's Ian Pannel in Tel Aviv.

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: The violence across the region shows no signs of letting up.

34
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: The US and Israel striking hundreds of new targets across Iran.

35
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: Dozens of people reported killed in a strike on two

36
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: residential buildings in eastern Tehran, according to local authorities, and

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: mid concerns about rising civilian casualties.

38
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: Ran launching another wave of drones and missiles at Israel

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: and other golf Arab countries, targeting oil fields, refinedies, and

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: natural gas hubs. Drones have struck the UAE and air

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: raids sirens are still ringing out in Jerusalem as Israel

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: continues to intercept these missiles now here in the United States.

43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: This is causing the price of oil and gas to

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: skyrocket Internationally. The price of Brent crude oil is down

45
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: from yesterday, trading this hour just about eighty eight dollars

46
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 2: a barrel, but still ABC's Elizabeth Cholsey says the pain

47
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: is being felt in many places.

48
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: You are also seeing broader concerns about how much these

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 5: higher energy prices are going to start filtering through very

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: quickly into other costs. So you have companies like United

51
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 5: Airlines warning about higher jet fuel costs, which if those

52
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 5: airlines are paying higher costs for fuel, we could pretty

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 5: quickly see higher ticket prices for airfares. Another place we

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 5: are seeing pretty immediate impact is for transportation logistics companies.

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 5: They're going to be paying more for diesel. Those costs

56
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 5: could in some form get passed down to consumers.

57
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: Triple A says the average price for a gallon of

58
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: regular unleaded here in Massachusetts today is three dollars and

59
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: forty cents. That is about nine cents higher from yesterday

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: and fifty cents higher than a month ago. Such a

61
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: bright and beautiful day outside. Let's go get a look

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 2: at our forecast, it's going to stay that way for

63
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: pretty much the entire day. We are looking at some

64
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: clouds moving in over the Capan Islands, so it is

65
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: going to keep your temperature down a little bit. Today

66
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: you've got highs in the upper forties to low fifties.

67
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: But really, if you're inland today it is looking amazing.

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: Could see low seventies for the first time in twenty

69
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: twenty six. Those of us on the coast otherwise could

70
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: be in the mid to upper sixties. Then for tonight,

71
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: increasing clouds, some showers are possible. Late we've got a

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: low near forty Wednesday. Tomorrow a couple of showers, and

73
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: we've got a high near fifty along the coast, mid

74
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: fifties inland. Thursday, more rain in the morning and into

75
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: the early afternoon. We've got an early high fifty five

76
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: or so. Then temperatures are going to start to get

77
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: a bit more realistic for this time of year, dropping

78
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: back into the forties Friday and Saturday. Both days lots

79
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: of sun. Highs in the sixty seven degrees already in

80
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: Framingham north of Boston, sixty two in methu and south

81
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: of Boston on the Cape still seeing forty nine in

82
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: Mashpee in Boston at eleven oh five partly cloudy and

83
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: sixty two. Some new bills on Beacon Hill would update

84
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: what some believer outdated laws for beach preservation. Wbz's Jim

85
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 2: McKay has more on.

86
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 6: That here at Dutchbury Beach. It's awfully quiet right now

87
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 6: outside of the icy cold waves washing upon the shore

88
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 6: in late winter. But pretty soon this beach will be

89
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 6: packed with people.

90
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: People go in after their ball or their frisbee, and

91
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: people walk in there thinking there's nothing there.

92
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 6: Murray is a longtime birdwatcher who agrees that sometimes there

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 6: can be overreactions as a beach closer, for example, in

94
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 6: reaction to different beach habitats. That's why she is in

95
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 6: supportive bills being brought forward by State Repken Sweezy that

96
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 6: are looking to streamline regulations at promote beach recreation. She

97
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 6: just wants the public to remain aware about the many

98
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 6: birds who find a home here.

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 2: And there's actually eggs and young chicks on the beach.

100
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 6: These bills have been referred to the Joint Committee on

101
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 6: Environment and Natural Resources on Beacon Hill from Duxbury. Jim

102
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 6: McKay WBS, Boston's news radio.

103
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: The company that owns TD Garden is now suing a

104
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: weed store called the Boston Garden. This cannabis company has

105
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: locations in Athol, Cambridge in Summerville. The company that owns

106
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: TD Garden, Delaware North accuses The Boston Garden of copyright infringement.

107
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: They say this name harms the reputation of their arena,

108
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: the Unearth The dispensary says they actually used lawyers to

109
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: help them pick this name. They said they wanted to

110
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: make sure it was legal and everything was good. The

111
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: Boston Garden, of course, was the name of the original

112
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: stadium that hosted Boston sports and other events before the

113
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: Fleet Center and then the Ted Garden. Last year's solar

114
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: power appeared to lose a bit of its sizzle.

115
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 4: The Solar Energy Industries Association says solar power installations fell

116
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 4: by fourteen percent in twenty twenty five from a year earlier.

117
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 4: The Trump administration announced plans to cut hundreds of millions

118
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 4: of dollars from renewable energy programs and installed environmental reviews

119
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: of solar and wind projects. The President has complained solar

120
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: panels take up too much farmland.

121
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: You see these big, ugly patches of black plastic that

122
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 3: comes from China.

123
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: Still, solar power will account for more than half of

124
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: new power projects this year. Michael Wallace, CBS News.

125
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: And the Mega Million's Jackpot is just getting bigger and bigger.

126
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: Well, this would be nice. Five hundred and thirty three

127
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: million on the line in tonight's Mega Million's Jackpot. The

128
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: treasure chest overflowing since no one has hit the whole

129
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: thing since just after Thanksgiving. Meantime, it's slow, steady and

130
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 3: much smaller at Powerball, which just had a winner a

131
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago. Tomorrow's big prize about sixty million dollars.
