Lots of sun out there today, high clouds, nice breeze.
At eleven o'clock it is fifty eight degrees in Boston.
Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening. Salem Congressman
Seth Molton says it's time for the Democratic Party to
take a new tech with younger leadership, and he wants
to help lead that charge.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I want Massachusetts to leave the nation in big, forward
looking progressive solutions that make life better for working people.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Milton this morning announcing he is making a run for
Senate against incumbent Ed Markey. He says the two lawmakers
agree on most of the issues, they're both Democrats, and
he says it's not personal.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I just don't believe Cira Markie should be running for
another six year term at eighty years old.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Milton says his campaign will focus, among other things, on affordability,
banning assault weapons, climate change, protecting democracy, and healthcare. We've
reached out to Marqu's campaign for comment. So far, we
have not heard back. At eleven oh one, air traffic
controllers in the nation's capital say the government shutdown could
lead to major delays for you and serious issues for them.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
As the government shutdown stretches into its third week, air
traffic controllers are issuing a dire warding.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
This introduces a new risk to aviation.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
Not knowing exactly how I'm going to have childcare for
my kids, or put gas in the car, or pay
the next mortgage payment adds a certain level of stress
onto an already stressful profession.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Controllers at Reagan National Airports say the stress of working
without a paycheck. In some cases even considering picking up
a second job to make ends meet is putting lives
at risk.

Now, is ABC's GEO Benitez. The US already dealing with
a shortage of trained air traffic controllers before the shutdown,
which is now in day fifteen. The Israeli military says
one of the bodies handed over yesterday by Hamas is
not of a hostage who was held in Gaza. The

examination at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine. Yesterday four
(02:04):
bodies and all were handed over by the terror group.
Israel has been waiting on the return total of twenty
eight deceased hostages. Meantime, this morning, Gaza's Ministry of Health
now says it has received forty five bodies of Palestinians
from the Israelis and over in Brussels, NATO defense ministers,
including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have wrapped up a summit.

from the US and with Russia staging ever boulder incursions

are getting a little bit of rain on the windshield,
but again nothing too crazy. The vast majority of us
(03:18):
have a nice dry day and it's going to stay
that way for the rest of the afternoon. Partly sunny,
and we've got a high year sixty five. A breeze
out there again today for tonight, mostly clear, low in
the lower forties if you're on the coast, mid topper
thirties if you're inland, but not quite enough to be
a freeze situation. For tomorrow, breezy, a mix of sun
and clouds in a high fifty five. Then Friday, lots
