Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is WBZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news.
Must we Monday? I guess we must? And we are
getting started under partly cloudy skies at six o'clock on
this Monday morning. It is forty one degrees, pretty chilly.
Many readings in the thirties and some twenties out the
(00:23):
door this morning. The News at six is brought to
us by your New England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid all
wheel drive headquarters. Thanks for being here today. I'm Jeff Brown.
It is going to be a split decision day, glading.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Up this morning with some rave at times.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
This after early tonight sunshine and blustery conditions tomorrow. That
is WBZ Acting weather Meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Near sixty to
kick off the week. Though so not bad in that
regard government shut down, Day number thirty four begins and
President Trump shows no indication he's going to be the
one to blink.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
We're doing this. We keep voting, I mean, the Republicans
are voting almost unanimously to end it, and the Democrats
keep voting against ending it. You know, they've never had this.
This has happened like eighteen times before that Democrats always
voted for an extension, always saying give us an extension,
we'll work it out. They've lost their way, They've become
crazed lunatics.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
During a CBS News sixty Minutes interview, the President says
Democrats are the ones that will need to give in
to Republican demands to reopen the government. Then he'll be
more than willing to talk about their concerns about healthcare.
The shutdown is also a headache for travelers who know
that all too well. They are expecting more significant delays
at airport's nationwide today.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Unlike many other airports across the nation, Massport says Logan
hasn't seen any staffing issues. Wonderful though as of last night.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Everybody's impacted the work here, right, I mean the whole
They need to make money somehow. This is so outrageous.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's soup from Cambridge. Leaving Logan early.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I did worry. I almost thought about canceling my trip
just so I don't get caught up in this. I'm
going to California and then I have to come back right.
I don't want to get delayed. I don't want to
get hung up somewhere else. I want to be safe.
It's really scary to be honest with you, to be
a traveler right now.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
The US Transportation Secretary is warning of more air travel
disruption as the shutdown continues, adding that air traffic controllers
are wearing thin due to financial stress. At Logan, James
rohas WBZ Boston's snooze radios again this morning.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Nothing reeling out of the ordinary at Logan Airport. Flight
Aware is reporting nine delays at the airfield. So far,
Patriots barely escape with their sixth victory in a row.
The Pats will get a real test this weekend. They'll
be in Tampa Bay. Celtics hope to get back on
the winning bandwagon. They host the Jazz of the Garden
tonight and the Bruins are off until tomorrow night when
(02:38):
they visit the New York Islanders. I guess the holiday
shopping season is officially here and the coal is starting
to look for its stockings.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
A lot of retailers have already made the leap from
Halloween to Christmas, and if you've poked around, you know
prices are considerably higher than last year thanks to new tariffs.
Lending Tree as to Maatesale increase cost for consumers in
retail tailers a total of forty point six billion dollars
this season. That translates to about one hundred and thirty
two dollars per shopper. The online lending Marketplace expects retailers
(03:10):
to swallow about twelve billion and extra costs themselves. Bottom line,
a lot of people will cut back on gift giving
or take on extra debt. Deborah Rodriguez CBS News.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
You're snoring is not only keeping people up at night,
it's hazardous to your health. Wbz's Drew moholland is here
with details. Morning Drew, Morning Jeff.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
New research indicates that's snoring especially connected to sleep apnea. Yeah,
it can lead to brain bleeds, which in turn could
lead to dementia in Alzheimer's disease later in life. Those
microbleeds increase later in life too. They lead to a
higher risk of future stroke cognitive decline. So if you're snoring,
keep an eye on that throughout the life span.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I guess I want to contact a doctor too if
it's getting out of hand.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
That's what they say.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
So the good news is it's almost sunrise here in Boston.
The bad news is We're going to go downhill relatively
quickly this morning. Forty one degrees right now, increasing clouds
here in the city, and any early morning sunshine will
give way to clouds later on today. A couple of
showers will be knocking around this afternoon and into the
evening hours, and maybe steadier rain, especially here in Boston
(04:13):
and towards the south shore South Coast Cape at Islands
later today. Despite that, daytime highs will get near sixty
degrees and enjoy it too, because of course, sunset is
around four thirty this afternoon. Clouds will be breaking overnight tonight.
It's going to become very windy. Tomorrow looks like it's
going to be a nice day, but windy, with high
temperatures approaching sixty. And we'll keep that sixty vibe going
(04:34):
into Wednesday as well with the mix of sun and clouds,
and it looks like Wednesday might be the pick of
the week. We'll keep you posted on that as we
continue with the mix of sun and clouds on Thursday.
With highs in the lower fifties. Right now in Boston
it's forty one. We're just getting started under partly cloudy skies.
This Monday morning it is six h six. Scientists guess
what they can tell how fast you're getting old.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
At the Human Longevity Lab at Northwestern University, scientists are
testing what kind of intervengeance may slow the rate of aging.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
We can test interventions in a relatively short period of
time to see if they just start to bend the
curve of agent, if they impact on the measures of
biological age.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Lat of science.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
As doctor Douglas vaughns as, the goal is to maximize
the gap between biological age and chronological age.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
Diet and exercise drugs might have those properties and provide
that kind of a benefit. Those studies still need to
be done.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Stephen Kauffman, CBS News, former longtime mayor of Newton Seti
Warren has died. Warren had been most recently running the
Harvard Kennedy Schools Institute of Politics. He was the first
black man elected to lead any city in Massachusetts with
his victory in two thousand and nine. He led the
city for eight years. No cause of death has been given.
(05:46):
Seti Warren was just fifty five, and former Governor Charlie
Baker's father has died. Charles Baker the third was a
powerful voice in local and national politics and once worked
in the US Department of Transportation. The elder Baker turned
down a chain to run for governor of Massachusetts in
the eighties, but became an advisor and sounding board for
his son. Charles Baker the Third, died at a Needham
(06:08):
Senior Living center. He was ninety seven. America's semi quinn
centennial celebrations continue to hum in the background as the
Massachusetts version of the nation's two hundred and fiftieth birthday
kicks into another gear. Governor Healy announces Mass two fifty
Road to twenty twenty six at the Old South Meetinghouse
this morning, which will set the stage to honor Massachusetts
(06:29):
role in shaping this nation. The update will highlight three
and a half million dollars in community grant funding and
also preview milestones including Evacuation Day twenty twenty six and
the nation's two hundred and fifty fifth birthday itself on
the fourth of July. And Who's ready to hit it Big?
Speaker 10 (06:45):
This week two lottery games with jackpots swelling over one
point two billion in total. First up tonight Powerball, where
the jackpot is now four hundred and nineteen million, A
one time cash payout before taxes is one hundred and
ninety eight million, and then the mega millions tomorrow night
is eight hundred million. One time cash payout just under
three hundred and eighteen million. J Will ed, WBZ Boston's
