Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is WBZ in Boston's news radio. We defining local
news fifty degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,
I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
The Trump administrations asking the Supreme Court to again keep
full food aid payments on hold. The request the latest
salvo in a legal fight over how SNAP benefits should
proceed during the government shutdown. Lower courts have ordered the
government to keep the money flowing. Justices are expected to
decide late tomorrow whether to halt the orders amid signs
the government shutdown could soon come to an end. The

(00:34):
US Department of Agriculture says it shouldn't be forced to
use certain funds for SNAP because they could be needed elsewhere.
Come to more. Healey's asking Republicans in Congress to get
back to work, saying nothing's been done to prevent people's
health care costs from skyrocketing. She also says our SNAP
recipients in Massachusetts are being taken care of.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
I don't know how much more of the American people
can take.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Up the state House. Governor Moore Healey offering clarity about
the latest SNAP situation.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
As of this morning. I'm happy to report that those
SNAP benefits have been fully funded.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Speaking directly to SNAP recipient, she says benefits have been
restored to cards go.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Out and buy the food that you need to feed
your family.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
The governor also calling on President Trump to extend the
Affordable Care Act premium tax credits to prevent major increases
in healthcare costs, something she says residents who get health
insurance through the Health Connector are already seeing.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
A sixty two year old couple living in Pevity who
earns eighty five thousand dollars a year currently pays nine
hundred dollars a month in healthcare premiums. They will now
have to pay nearly twenty one hundred dollars a month.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
At the State House, I'm a Freedman, WBZ, Boston's News Radio.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Despite a path to ending the shutdown emerging in Washington,
d C. There is more turbulence at the Airport's in
the store. One of our Washington reps wants a different
approach from the FAA, as we hear from wbz's Madison Rogers.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
Congressman Seth Moulton says he's introducing the Fair Act this week.
Fair Aviation and Restrictions and emergencies it would mean and
situations like the one where in now the FAA needs
to halt private flights before it looks to restrict commercial flights.
Moulton says the bills about putting the working class ahead
of the wealthy few when Washington fails to do its job.

(02:13):
Last week, private jets weren't impacted the way commercial flights were,
but now the FAA is expanding those restrictions, barring business
jets and many private flights from using a dozen busy airports.
Logan is not on the list. Over the weekend, we
saw more than forty five hundred canceled flights in the US,
according to flight Aware Madison Rogers WBZ, Boston's news radio.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
And according to flight Aware today, cancelations at Logan Airport
totally one hundred and thirty two four hundred and thirty
seven delays thus far. A funeral for former Vice President
Dick Cheney you'll be held later that's month in Washington.
Cheney died last week at the age of eighty four.
His funeral is set for Thursday, November twentieth at the
Washington National Cathedral. We're still looking at some rain and

(02:54):
showers around the area, although things will get better. We'll
start to end all of this and bring in some
clearing skies later tonight, but we have a little ways
to go. Most of the precipitation is lifting off to
the north, so we have some rain that's really over
the harbor right now and that's pushing off to the north.
May make a line for Manchester by the sea up

(03:14):
toward Cape Ann here in short order. There's some rain
out in parts of Worcester County, Worcester itself getting a
couple of spritzes, and then a little bit more further out,
just on the eastern side of the Quabbin, and then
there's more out in western Massachusetts. And on the back
side of this precipitation, as there has been all day,
it's just gotten a little closer. Now there's some snow

(03:35):
and mixed precipitation as the temperatures are falling there. So
unlikely we'll get cold enough here to see any precipitation
in the winter variety. However, there could be a mixed
in snowflake and a couple of places well west of town.
Before all is said and done tonight, we'll see, of course,
temperatures will fall back into the twenties Inland. Later tonight
thirty four or so in Boston. It will be a

(03:57):
bit breezy, so it'll feel even chillier as the guys
clear out. Blustery and cold. Tomorrow for Veterans Day, temperatures
will be close to forty, but with that breezy condition,
we'll have temperatures that'll feel like they're in the twenties
and thirties much of the time, despite some sunshine being around.
Still windy, cold, increasing clouds. Tomorrow night, mid thirties in Boston,
a little chillier Inland, and real fields will be in

(04:18):
the low twenties. Wednesday, mostly cloudy, chili forty four, not
as chilly Thursday, still a little bit of a breeze
around with some sunshine near fifty. It is fifty right
now in Boston. While two streaming giants are duking it out.
You could get twenty bucks. WBC's match Shearer explains.

Speaker 6 (04:36):
Disney and YouTube have been trying to work out a
deal to keep Disney content on YouTube TV, but that
hasn't happened yet. On October thirtieth, the Mouse pulled all
their content from the Google owned YouTube that included ESPN
and ABC programming, and there still is no deal. So
now YouTube is offering a twenty dollars credit to customers
who have been without their favorite Disney shows. The bad

(04:57):
news is they're making you jump through hoops to get
in YouTube TV. You gotta click on your profile picture,
then settings, then updates. Then you'll see claim credit to
get a one time twenty dollars discount applied to the
next Bill Matt Shearer WBZ, Boston's News Radio.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Boston Mayor Michelle Oo's in Nova Scotia, highlighting a continued
partnership between the city and the province, as it's done
for years, Nova Scotia will provide Boston's Christmas tree as
a thank you for sending medical aid and relief supplies
during the nineteen seventeen Halifax explosion. Boston's tree will be
cut on Wednesday. Mayor Wi will be the first Boston
mayor to attend such a cutting. The tree will be

(05:32):
in Boston on a week from tomorrow. Forty five foot
tall white spruce from Lunenburg County. You've probably been using
these today windshield wipers. Today the wiper marks and anniversary.
Here's a little road history from Drew Mamholland.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
The United States issues the windshield wiper a patents. On
this day, one one hundred and twenty three years ago,
an Alabama woman gets the nod for her window cleaning invention. Boy,
do we depend on it when it snows, rains, sleet, ice, Yeah,
keeps those windows clean. Back in that day, Mary Anderson
tried to sell the windshield wiper to a Canadian manufacturer,

(06:07):
but they turned it down everywhere, right place, wrong time. Indeed,
the manufacturer said the windshield wiper had no practical value.
What the windshield wiper would be standard on cars just
ten years later, but Mary Anderson never made one penny
from her work. Hugh not Cool, Drew Mahall and WBZ
