Speaker 2 (00:11):
Friday. Finally, where you Ben, you little devil, Bring it in,
hug it out. We've got sparkly cloudy skies. As we
get started at six o'clock on this Friday morning in Boston,
it is sixty three degrees. The News at six brought
to us by your new England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid
all wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for being with us this morning.
I'm Jeff Brown. Okay, not bad Boston, much cooler for today, clowns.
(00:33):
We'll limit sun and we'll have a high of seventy
two hots. WBZ Achi weather meteorologist Heather's are not a
washout as it turns out this weekend. In fact, most
of the rain occurs tomorrow morning. We'll be in the
sixties pretty much all weekend. But it's a little bit
better than we initially anticipated. Whether forecasters are banking on
the future. For the first time, the National Hurricane Center
(00:55):
will use artificial intelligence to improve its forecasts for the
most powerful storms that tend to kill tens of thousands
of people around the world each year. The announcement comes
just as hurricane season cake takes off. The agency is
teaming up with a Google company to supply the National
Weather Service Division with predictive modeling that it claims is
far more accurate compared to earlier versions of its AI models,
(01:19):
and it will provide comparisons to back up those claims.
The Hurricane Center says this does not mean human hands
will be eliminated. This is just another tool in the shed.
There's no place like home, But in much of Greater Boston,
it's not about paying the mortgage. The landlord gets the spoil.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
The Boston region is among the top five metro areas
where the number of renters has increased them most recently.
Brookline and Watertown are now two suburbs that have become
renter majority communities over the past five years. That's according
to a new report that says the rise of the
renter suburb is not a blip, but rather a fundamental
shift in how Americans live and think about housing, especially
(01:57):
for millennials and even gen z. Soaring home prices are
also a big factor in Brookline. James Rojas w b
Z Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Months of preparation, in more than thirty days of testimony,
and it all comes down to this closing arguments and
the Karen Reid murder trial, set to begin this morning
in Norfolk Superior Court. The jury is told to arrive
early today. The defense goes first. It will present a
drastically different closing to jurors compared to Reid's first trial,
and will abend in a third party culprit strategy. The
(02:28):
prosecution will get the final word before jurors get the case.
When the jury does reach its verdict, WBZ News Radio
will carry the decision live for you right here or
on the iHeartRadio app. Another thrilling finish in the NHL
Stanley Cup Final in overtime, the Epic Tourers ty the
(02:49):
series two games apiece. Edmonton comes from behind to top
the defending champion Florida Panthers in the third overtime game
of this series. Red Sox are back in action tonight.
The Yankees are in town for a weekend set and
at Gulf's US Open. American Jjspawn leads the field heading
into Round two, which begins at six forty five this
(03:11):
morning at Oakmont Country Club just outside Pittsburgh. Comfortable start
this morning in Boston. A lot of the humidity has
been drained from the atmosphere, and we're in for a
pretty decent day today at sixty three right now in
the city, partly cloudy skies, some sunshine mixing with the
clouds throughout the day. Today, high temperatures will be in
the low to mid seventies, substantially cooler than yesterday, but
(03:32):
certainly not bad as we head into another weekend with
a little bit of rain on the way, but it
does look like most of the precipitation will come down
tomorrow morning and maybe extend into the early afternoon hours.
The winds, however, are going to be off the water,
and so temperatures tomorrow will be relatively chilly for this
time of year, highs only in the low to maybe
mid sixties. Father's Day is Sunday, and that looks a
(03:55):
little bit better than even just yesterday, with some sunshine
poking through the clouds. So let's call it a mix
of clouds and sun on Dad's Day on Sunday, and
a little bit milder too, with highs in the mid
to upper sixties. And of course we get back in
action on Monday, under mostly cloudy skies, we'll see sixties
for high temperature then, but eventually we'll be back in
the eighties by the middle of next week. Right now
(04:17):
in Boston, it is sixty three degrees and partly cloudy
skies at six oh five on this Friday morning here
in Boston. The Middle East is on fire.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
An enemy's filed to destroy You believe them. When enemies
build weapons of mass death, stop them.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
That is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as Israel launches
air strikes at Iran in an attempt to knock out
its nuclear program, and in the meantime, it knocks out
the republic's top three military leaders. Iran, in retaliation, sends
more than one hundred drones back at Israel. Israel's Iron
Dome defense system has been deployed.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Sahil said it has embarked on an unprecedented military operation
against Iran called Rising Lion, to neutralize an existential threat
and hit Iranian military.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Leaders and sites.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It said the aim of the prolonged operation is to
prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons. While Israel went on
the alert for an Iranian counter attack, Israeli officials said
the United States had been informed of the planned operation.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
At his CBS News correspondent Stephen Lindy in Jerusalem. The
United States, however, is not involved in this attack. The
government in India begins its investigation into one of that
nation's deadliest air crashes, and Air India flight to London
goes down just seconds after takeoff, just one survivor on board.
As the man simply walks away from the wreckage, he
(05:38):
tells family he has no idea why he's still alive.
A cause of the crash has yet to be determined.
One of the flights black boxes has been recovered. Meantime,
in Boston, the FAA is now investigating the landing of
a Jet Blue flight from Chicago which overshot the runway,
causing a ground stop at Logan for hours. Boston City
(05:58):
Council Ar Tanya Fernandis Anderson says her last day on
the job will be the fourth of July. The one
time undocumented immigrants mediodic rise to power came crashing down
on allegations of federal corruption, and after initially declaring her
innocence on charges she accepted a kickback from an employee
and relative in a city hall bathroom, Fernandez Anderson pleaded
(06:19):
guilty ultimately earlier this spring and promise to resign. She
says serving the seventh District of Boston has been one
of the greatest honors of her life. Prosecutors will recommend
a prison sentence of one year plus one day at
her sentencing, which comes up late next month. So this
weekend Father's Day? What's under the tree this year?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Dad?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Father's Day?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Weekend fast approaching here?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
And you know we don't talk to enough dads about
what they actually want for Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You are, Jim, Jim where you're from?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Salem? Salem? Guy? Okay, what do you want for Father's Day?
I just want to be with my kids. I think
I have everything I need. I you know, there may
be a couple of things that I need. I just
want to be with my kids. Man, how many three.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Three could probably pull something together for you?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Three teenage daughters, you would think, so, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
All right, it's a little bit of a hen.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
You're not a dad, but you get some ideas for
what could happen here, right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I mean I have seven nephews and nieces, so I
get it, and hopefully I'll spend the day with my dad.
