Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is WBZY, Boston's news radio. We defining local news.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Greene eighteen Green eighteen six o'clock on this Monday morning,
coming off a spectacular weekend of professional football and college
football for that matter. Thanks for being with us on
this final Monday before the big holiday. We're waking up
under clear skies and twenty eight degrees here in Boston.
The News at six has brought to us by your
New England Toyota dealer, your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters.
(00:33):
I'm Jeff Brown. You dreaming of a white Christmas. Plenty
of sunshine today, breezy and cold with a high of
thirty three, from snow on the way tomorrow. It's WBZ
AKI weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Probably not going to stick
around for the holiday this year, but it's cold enough.
We might get some snow tomorrow. Only about freezing for
a high temperature today. Right back where we belongs, take away,
(00:58):
I'm still New England's the on NBC Sports as the
Patriots come from behind on Sunday Night Football to finish
off the Baltimore Ravens and return officially to the playoffs
for the first time in four years.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
It's a sentiment unfamiliar of late with this member of
Patriots Nation.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Look forward to Sunday's novel You Happened the last few years?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Nah?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Because this team, one of, if not the most storied
in NFL history, was down.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
They they were on the down side, and they came.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Back back to the playoffs for the first time in
four years, a hiatus that included seasons that were, in
a few words.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Oh, really bad, really bad.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah. But along came a man named Rabel and a
QB and Drake May that's playing beyond his years, giving
folks round here hope this could be the year the
first place team.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Last night was a great win. I think the Patriots
is gonna come back. I think they got a chance
in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
To be real, You think they're gonna make it all
the way to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 6 (01:52):
Yeah, I think they're gonna make it.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Chris Fauma, WBZ, Boston's News Radio, the former head basketball
coach of the Providence Friars, gets sent to his room.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Georgetown basketball coach Ed Cooley is suspended one game after
hurtling a water bottle into the crowd at the buzzer
of a game against Xavier Savior Stakes. After they miss
a three to tie the game, Cooley tosses a bottle
overhand directly into a child on the lap of presumably
his mother in the first few rows at Senta's Center
(02:22):
of Cincinnati. Wholy during the postgame press conference, says he
led his emotions bottle up, just just.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Totally totally out of character of frustration. So I apologize
to the fans. I've apologize to our player's university. Totally
totally out of character for me to be that way.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Georgetown athletic director Lee Reid put out a statement announcing
Cooley's one game suspension, saying his conduct did not align
with the team values. Jawill at WBZ Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Now you see him, now you don't. But once again
they're back. The Justice Department puts images of President Trump
pictured in the Jeffrey Epstein files back on its website
on Friday.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
The government was required by law to release all documents
related to Epstein, but that didn't happen. Republican Congressman Thomas Massey.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law.
It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Within the documents that were released an FBI report from
nineteen ninety six filed by Maria Farmer alleging Epstein's interest
in child pornography.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
CBS's Chanel Call Now officials say the images in question
were pulled and then reposted only after a review revealed
no images of Epstein victims appeared in the collection, including
the president. The Justice Department says the removal of the
photos was not done for political reasons. The chances in
any given year that Boston sees a white Christmas are
(03:43):
as low as twenty percent and as high as forty percent,
and despite a chance for some snow in the area tomorrow,
it doesn't look like it's going to be hanging around
enough to make it a white Christmas. Coming up on Thursday.
You have to go far in New England, up north
to get that feeling. But right here in Greater Boston
it is going to be cold, and we start that
way this week with plenty of sunshine today, it's going
(04:04):
to continue to be breezy, with highs right around freezing.
More clouds overnight tonight, couple of snow floorries popping up
before daybreak. Lows in the twenties, cloudy, some snow will
continue through Tomorrow, highs only in the mid to upper thirties,
but it's slightly warmer along the waterfront. Tomorrow Wednesday, which
of course is Christmas Eve, it's going to be breezy,
with clouds and some breaks of sunshine. HIGs will approach
(04:27):
forty degrees. The holiday on Thursday looks relatively quiet, but
more clouds than sun. Highs in the lower forties, and
then as we start to clean up on Friday and
heading into the weekend, it looks like we have another
potential for some rain or some snowflakes as well. Right
now in Boston's calm and all is bright twenty eight
degrees under clear skies. Here in Boston on this Monday morning,
(04:49):
it's six oh six. No parking on the dance floor
and on the streets of Cambrice. At Cambridge, it could
soon cost you more.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
The Cambridge City Council voted seven to one in favor
of a new proposal to raise the price metered parking
fines for the first time in six years, bumping the
fine up from thirty dollars to forty The city's Transportation
commissioner argues the new fine will help keep people accountable.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
There are rules, and you know, I think increasing the
fine a little bit might help to get people to
follow those rules. My most generous kind of hope would
be that maybe it would help folks be more thoughtful
about their parking.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
But some people are concerned the new finds could make
things harder for people with tighter budgets.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
There's a lot of wealthy people in the neighborhood who
I'm sure forty dollars won't be a big deal, but
for those.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
Who need assistance, it's going to be.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
You know, it's a big change.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
The changes go into effect on February first, from Cambridge,
Kyle Bray WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
France is once again the target of fees, this time
the Presidential Palace and the LSA Palace ripped off of
its copper pots, porcelain and Baccarat champagne glasses and what
police say is an inside job. Official say a suspect,
a silver steward at the palace, is now in custody
after hundreds of artifacts are found in his work locker,
(06:02):
his car, and his home of late The staft, of course,
follows the brazen heist at the Louver Museum and another
at the Museum of Natural History in Paris. As Hank
comes to a close, a Boston filmmaker takes a sinister
turn on the Festival of Lis.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Gimmy filmmaker Stephen schloss is trying to scratch an itch
he's felt for a long time with his new short film,
Gimme So.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
The film is a Hanikah horror throwback film to the
movie that should have been made but never was and
I kind of always wish I had grown up as
a kid.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The film is about a cursed game of Dradl played
by an estrange grandfather and granddaughter. He says the genre
of Honikkah horror doesn't really exist with Christmas generally getting
the line's share of attention.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
All we're seeing is just repeated content and remakes, and
you know, why not make the thing that hasn't been
made yet that should have been.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
The short took home some hardware at film Quest, the
International Film Festival.
Speaker 8 (06:52):
And we actually won as a holiday horror movie, and
that's never happened before.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Schlotz is thinking of turning it into a feature film.
