Speaker 1 (00:00):
Forty one degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon.
I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. Luigi Mangioni's first federal
court appearance in New York City is now over. Outside court,
an attorney from Angioni said they're going to decline to
comment at this time. During the hearing, Angoni answered questions
to the judge, saying he understood his rights. He did
not make a bail application, but attorneys say he could
(00:23):
at a later time. Federal authorities announced today new charges
against Mangioni that include murder. He was extra guided from
Pennsylvania to New York and was met by New York
City Mayor Eric Adams and a large police presence.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
To personally be here to show the symbolism of leading
from the fund.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Of the apprehension.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Angioni is expected to be in a state court to
answer charges there this afternoon as well. Massachusetts has been
lifted out of extreme drought status, the heavy rains last
week helping the state to be downgraded to severe drought
status instead. The extremely dry conditions from August to November
plunge the state into a drought and has contributed to
(01:06):
a wave of wildfires in the fall around here, a
little bit of speed boosts could be in the works
for one branch of the Green Line. WBC's Hyle Shaffle
with more.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
If you're blessed with a decent arm. There are te
stations on the Green Line that Stone's throw apart, but
if everything goes according to plan, you'll probably need to
throw a lot harder in the future. Seems like it's
a pretty well thought through plan as far as I've heard,
the Tea wants to combine two of the stations on
the Sea Branch, Fairbanks and Brandon Hall, and decommission Kent
Street station completely. This is all part of a multimillion
dollar accessibility upgrade. Regular Tea riders seem to be in
(01:38):
favor of this idea.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Honestly, it's not a huge change, but getting rid of
those will speed things up a little bit. Getting the
rest of the platforms more accessible only seems like a
good thing to make.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
People would generally save about thirty seconds to a minute
per trip.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I think if it gets us where we need to
go faster, and I'm all for it.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Kyle Shaffle to be busy Boston's news.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Radio Birdcase Bird flu cases arising in the US. Maybe
sees Alex Stone tells us some house cats in California
might have caught the virus.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Three more cats here in LA may have had bird flu.
Two others confirmed to have had it died from it
this month. Those two got it after drinking raw milk.
Humans have been warned not to drink unpasteurized raw milk
right now because of the risk of it containing bird flu.
Of the three new cat cases being investigated, two of
those cats have died. All three were in the same
(02:27):
house and lived indoors. Humans who have come in contact
with infected cats are being watched for signs of the virus.
Alec Stone ABC News Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The first serious human case of bird flu was detected
just recently in Louisiana. Holding on to chances for a
white Christmas, we'll see. We've got some snow at our forecast.
We don't have any tonight, just clouds around little Chili
thirty in Boston, mid twenties in the suburbs. Tomorrow, a
couple of snowflakes, couple of showers, maybe some rain showers
over the South coast Cavan Islands. Temperatures in the mid
(02:58):
thirties to close to forty degrees, depending on your location,
and it will be a location, location, location thing Tomorrow night,
as some snow is going to get in here. There's
a developing coastal storm. It is not going to hit
us head on, but couldn't bring us some snow at
least for a time over the Capan Islands, especially with
snow accumulating one to three inches. Some higher amounts are
(03:19):
possible depending on the track of the storm, especially south
of the city. Temperatures Tomorrow night in the low upper
twenties I should say low twenties in some of the suburbs. Saturday,
it's a chilli one thirty one for the high. There'll
be some lingering flouries in the morning, and then some
sun gets in here in the afternoon, and sunday's really cold.
We'll have wind around, so the temperatures in the twenty
four degree range in Boston will feel like they're in
(03:41):
the teens. Temperatures in the teens in the suburbs will
feel like they're in the single digits on Sunday. Right now,
we're at forty one degrees in Boston and here we go, AI, Ray, Fine, well,
you better be ready to not here. It comes travel
season on steroids. The head of Mass Sports says logan
will be really the next couple of weekends, and it
comes after an already record breaking year for the airport.
(04:05):
WBC Susanne Salsville spoke with travelers at Terminal C. They're
flying out early to beat the rush.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
For seventh grader A Scander sipping Virgin Pina coladas by
the pool is a much better option than sitting in class.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
I'm happy I didn't really have anything important on those
two days, so I'm just excited to kind of headstart
on the vacation, especially before, like you said, the rush
of people coming in, like nobody's going to be here
and midday on a Thursday.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
His fourteen year old sister Alia isn't quite as thrilled
about missing school two tests today, So how do you
feel about that?
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Kind of have you become nervous too, because I'm to
retake one test when you get back.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
They're headed to the Dominican Republic of vacation not planned
until after Thanksgiving, so flying out early was really their
only option. But Dad Joel is glad they're avoiding the
mad rush here this weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
We're not sad about that part of it at all.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
At Logan Suzanne Solsville, WBZ Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Want to get engaged, not you and me, but if
you do, this is the time. The month of December
is the most popular time to.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
Propose Weddingsite than Not dot Com says thirty seven percent
of all engagements take place between November and February, but
the bulk of proposals, they say, will happen this month
because December is romantic, family and friends are around, and
there's a general feeling of celebration. Statistically, Christmas engagements work
out just as well as any other and come with
(05:35):
an eighty to ninety percent acceptance rate. But no pressure.
