1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: This is wb Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: Sixty one degrees in Boston. We've got some showers moving

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 2: through the city at eleven o'clock. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis.

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: Here is what's happening day twenty two of the government

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: shut down. Thousands of federal workers still going without pay.

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 2: Government funded programs like head Start are struggling to stay

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: afloat CBS, Jared Hill has more as.

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 3: The government shut down stretches into day twenty two. President

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: Trump holding the line after meeting with Congressional Republicans Tuesday.

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: I'd love to meet with them.

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 3: I just want them to open up the country. Congressional

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: Democrats also aren't backing down on their demand that Republicans

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 3: negotiate on the rising cost of healthcare. Republicans may not

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 3: have time to fix people's healthcare, but apparently they got

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: plenty of time for a mini pep rally with Donald Trump.

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says he and his colleagues

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: are trying to set up a meeting with the President

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: before mister Trump depart arts for his next overseas trip

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: in Asia. Now months after Senator Corey Booker spoke for

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: more than twenty five hours on the Senate floor. A

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: fellow Democrat is using a marathon speech as well to

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: protest the shutdown and the Trump administration.

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: Shortly before six thirty Tuesday, Senator Jeff Merkley said he

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 4: was on the Senate floor to ring the alarm bells.

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 3: President Trump is shredding our constitution.

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 4: That was the theme of the Oregon Democrats all night remarks.

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: More than twelve hours later, he said the President's interference

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 4: in prosecutorial decisions.

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 3: Contradicts everything our country has done in the post Watergate

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 3: era to protect against corruption of the justice system.

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: Brian Clark ABC News the Senator's still going. His marathon

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: has lasted about sixteen and a half hours so far.

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: At eleven oh two. President Trump is demanding the Justice

34
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: Department pay him two hundred thirty million dollars in taxpayer cash.

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: He says this is to compensate for two investigations launched

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: against him years ago. Here's ABC's Olivia Rubin.

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: Rom previously filed two administrative claims seeking damages over the

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: Russia probe and claiming he was maliciously prosecuted in the

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: document's probe the President recently hinting at those complaints, I'm

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: sort of suing myself. I don't know what how do

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: he sell the lesser and suggesting if I get money

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: from arcutry, I'll do something nice with it, like give

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: it to charity or give it to the White House

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: where we restore the White House. That compensation, though, is

45
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: typically covered by taxpayer.

46
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 2: Some lawyers say the situation poses a unique ethical dilemma

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: as the claims were filed before mister Trump became president

48
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: for the second time, but now he's back in the

49
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: oval office, which means he's essentially negotiating with his own subordinates.

50
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: And before we take a look at the forecast and traffic,

51
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: we have learned former Boston City Councilor Tanya Fernandez Anderson

52
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: is serving her jail sentence in Connecticut. She is at

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: a low security prison in Danberry. It's a federal prison.

54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: Fernandez Anderson was convicted on corruption charges earlier this year

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: for accepting thousands of dolls in a kickback scheme. She

56
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: was sentenced to a month in prison and three years probation.

57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: The Bureau of Prison says she reported to FCI dan

58
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: Berry earlier this month she is set to be released

59
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: on November eleventh. We have had one of those days

60
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: out there where we had so much heavy rain. Driving

61
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: in this morning was like kind of piloting a boat

62
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: along the mass Pike. It was definitely very wet. Things

63
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: are starting to dry up now, which is certainly helping

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: the traffic lighten up a bit, but we do still

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: have some showers coming through from time to time. Temperatures

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: in the upper fifties, low sixties, and for the next

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: couple of hours we'll see these showers coming through before

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: we finally start to see the sun again this afternoon

69
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 2: for more than just a couple of minutes. Later on

70
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: tonight we'll really start to clear out. The breeze will

71
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: kick in. We have a low in the mid to

72
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: upper forties in Boston, upper thirties, low forties if you're inland,

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: and then a little bit warmer actually on the Capan

74
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: Islands in the low to mid fifties. Then for tomorrow,

75
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: mix of sun and clouds, breezy and a high year sixty.

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: For your Friday, mix of sun and clouds, and we've

00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: STEM Week. Wbz's Kyle Brace stop by.

87
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 5: You're at the Rafael Hernandez School in Roxbury. Dozens of

88
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 5: kids are hard at work assembling a brand new playground

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 5: for a fictional client in a plastic tube, string tape,

90
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 5: and more. It's all part of the celebrations for Massachusett's

91
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 5: STEM Week, when groups highlight different STEM opportunities for kids

92
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 5: around the state. Betsy Culkin is with the Girl Scouts

93
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 5: of Eastern Massachusetts. She says it's fun to see how

94
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 5: kids approach the project differently.

95
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 6: Some were really invested in the planning phase and wanted

96
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 6: to get their plans and materials lists down and their

97
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 6: drawings perfect, and some were immediately like give me the

98
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 6: materials I want to start building.

99
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 5: Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll was on hand to meet with kids.

100
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 5: She says it's important to foster a love for STEM

101
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 5: at a young age.

102
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: They don't even think of it as STEM. They think

103
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: of it as just using their hands to build and

104
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: design a playground.

105
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 6: I think that's the best part about it, understanding how

106
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 6: these skills.

107
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: That they're developing really connect to what a workforce might

108
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: look like in a career. Going Down, Going forward.

109
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 5: From Roxbury Kyle Ber AWBZ, Boston's News Radio.

00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: owners and a greater Boston city are bracing for a

119
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: huge bill. Here's wbz's Jim McKay.

120
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 7: Commercial property owners in Cambridge will soon be facing a

121
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,040

122
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,000

123
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,400

00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 7: they say they need to increase it to help the

125
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 7: city cover it's nearly one billion dollar operating budget. Critics

126
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 7: say this will be punishing to small businesses and an

127
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 7: already tough economic climate, and it's not like residential property

128
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 7: owners are getting away unscathed. They will see a property

00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 7: tax increase of five percent. Jim McKay WBZ Boston's News Radio,
