Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Very gusty out there in Boston. Right now it's eleven
o'clock and right now it's fifty eight degrees under partly
cloudy skies. Happy Halloween. I'm Nicole Davis. Here is what's happening.
SNAP benefits are said to expire for millions of Americans
tomorrow amid the government shutdown. Several states have sued the
federal government to use emergency funds to keep the program going.
(00:32):
We are awaiting a judge's ruling on that case right now.
This judge based in Boston. The shutdown is now in
day thirty one, and in a matter of days it
will literally be one for the record books. ABC's j
O'Brien has more on that.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
By mid next week, this shutdown is going to break
the record for the longest in US history. And right
now it's definitely going for the record because so far,
and this can change, but so far, there's no deal
in sight that would end this year.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
President Trump says the Republican controlled Senate needs to get
rid of the philipbuster and allow themselves to pass a
funding bill on a majority basis.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
The President's all caps called to end the filibuster is
not likely to be followed by the Senate anytime soon.
The tradition allowing the minority to hold up legislation is
valued and guarded by long serving Republicans such as Mitch McConnell's,
Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and others who relied on the
philibuster to block bills when Democrats had control of the chamber.
Their votes would be necessary to change the Senate rules.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
That is, ABC Stephen Portnoy with that update at eleven
oh one getting out to Michigan, where the FBI says
it has thwarted a possible terror attack. Here's CBS is
Michael Wallace with the updates.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
In a social media post, FBI director Cash Pattel says
the attack would have targeted Halloween weekend and multiple people
were arrested. The FBI field office in Detroit. Tel CBS
News had had agents in the Detroit suburbs of Dearborn
and Inkster this morning as part of the investigation, but
would not share any details of the alleged plot. They
do say there is no current threat to public safety.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Listen dear Born, say city officials were informed of the
FBI operation a few hours in advance, and at eleven
oh two, the team from Everett who's been detained for
weeks by Ice, is no longer trying to come back
to Massachusetts. Instead, his attorney, Andrew Lattarulo, now says he
wants to go back to Brazil and stay with his family,
this while his parents wait on their asylum decision here
(02:21):
in Massachusetts. Latarulo says the thirteen year old wants to
come back at some point to the US, but right
now they just want to get him out of detention.
A judge will rule on the plan next month. The
boy was detained back in October ninth after Everett police
arrested him on a tippy plan to hurt a student.
The boy was carrying a knife. Police say ICE picked
him up after they were alerted by the boy's fingerprints
(02:42):
in their database. It is a blustery day out there
as we head outside for Halloween fun. But the good
news is well it's dry after that overnight storm. I
know when I walked outside this morning, I had a
lot of leaves on the car, and it looks like
that is going to stay the case for the rest
of the day, nice and dry. The think is it's
also very windy out there, and it's only gonna get gustier.
(03:04):
We have a wind advisory up from two o'clock this
afternoon through five o'clock tomorrow morning. Winds will be gusting
over forty maybe even fifty miles an hour at times,
and we'll have a mix of sun and clouds. Seeing
a couple of stray showers out there, but again those
should clear up pretty quick now with the real feel
out there, of course, temperatures are going to feel more
like the forties, especially out there tonight when it comes
(03:26):
to trigger treating, so layers will be key, but at
least you're not gonna have to wear the parka, and
you're not gonna have to wear the raincoats. You can
actually let the costume shine, which is always a plus.
Just put on a layer of long underwear or something
and you should be pretty good. Overnight low forty five
and then heading into the weekend, still looking phenomenal. Still
breezy though, the mix of sun and clouds both days,
(03:47):
and we've got highs in the fifties right now in Lawrence,
mostly sunny, where a fifty eight degrees Marshfield cloudy, windy,
gusting up to thirty miles an hour. It is fifty
seven heading over west to Boston, gusty and water and
fifty one in Boston right now partly sunny, fifty eight
degrees when from the southwest at twenty five miles an hour,
(04:08):
gusting up to thirty six Lover at Logan Airport taking
a look at our latest delays in cancelations. About eighty
flights have been delayed so far today, thirty five flights
have been canceled. Those numbers are going up as we
deal with the winds and the overnight weather impacts, and
as we're on day thirty one of the federal government shutdown.
Wz's Jim McKay is trying to see if Logan will
(04:28):
soon start to feel the impacts that other airports have.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Here at Terminal A. I ran it to George. He's
flying to Indianapolis, one of the airports that's dealing with
air traffic, staffing shortages.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I'm very concerned about it.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
George has good reason to be concerned because he's got
plenty of cargo.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Because you know, traveling with the dog and my wife,
it was a big concern.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Nassport continues to provide updates about where things stand, and
Logan is operating very solid at the moment compared to
what other airports are dealing with around the country. But
as the shutdown continues and people aren't getting paychecks, eventually
it will be a problem.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
If your work and you should get paid.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
For George's wife, Denise and their dog Lenny. They're hoping
this can come to a quick conclusion and get everyone
back to work with their proper paychecks. We do travel quite.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
A bit, so hopefully this thing gets over pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
From Terminala at Logan. Jim mcka WVZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Britain's Prince Andrew is no longer a prince. King Charles
has stripped him of all his titles and evicted him
from its royal residence. It's all because of Andrew's connections
to Jeffrey Epstein. There may be more consequences to come.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
I'm Vicky Barker in London, Virginia. Giffray's family still wants
to see Andrew answer questions about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein,
about what he did and what he knew, and British
lawmakers this week launch an investigation into the financial arrangement
that allowed Andrew to live in a thirty room mansion
on the grounds of Windsor Castle for twenty years. Andrew's
troubles may not have ended with his loss of home
(05:55):
and title. Vicki Barker, CBS News London.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Now the crowns moves against Andrew getting attention as well
on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
King Charles's action now raising questions in Washington, some politicians
asking why the US appears to be lagging behind the
UK when it comes to investigating the Epstein scandal, Kentucky
Congressman Thomas Massew saying it appears that rich and powerful
men in the United States have immunities and privileges exceeding
those of royalty in Britain.
