skies at six o'clock in the News at six brought

I'm Jeff Brown. And you know what, it does, get

That's ballgame Monday Night Football on ESPN, and by the way,
the Patriots Ravens game later this month has been flexed
to Sunday Night Football in Baltimore, a seventh day of
Testimony is about to get underway this morning in the
Brian Walsh murder trial in Norfolk Superior Court after jurors
review video prosecutors say shows Walsh at a Low's buying
(01:16):
a hacksaw, a hatchet, a mop, cleaning supplies and other things.
Other videos, the state says, reveal his whereabouts and a
Walgreens and a CVS in the hours following his wife
Anna's death. Prosecutors also show video they say shows Walsh
depositing items in a dumpster. Walsh says his wife died
from natural causes almost three years ago, but he admits
(01:38):
he panicked and disposed of her body. A witness from
the state's Medical Examiner's office says it can provide no
cause of death since there is no body. Dueling lawsuits
in the deadly blaze of the Gabriel House assisted living
facility in Fall River get Ugly, the property's owner, Dennis X. Corn,
puts all the blame on a fire inspection company whose
(01:58):
failures to inspect this system, lawyers say were a direct
cause of the ten deaths in that blaze that gutted
the building this summer. Meantime, the inspection company fire Systems
Incorporated of North Darkmouth says it warrened Gabriel House starting
as soon as ten months in advance, that its sprinkler
systems were out of date and some had been recalled.
Preliminary findings determine the fire was accidental in nature. Your
(02:22):
mental health needs a human touch.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
New research suggests that patients still trust doctors more than
artificial intelligence. A study by the University of Southern California
and Beru College in New York found seventeen percent of
people said they trust AI as much as a human
to diagnose health problems. But the study also found most
people see the technologies that use AI to help diagnose
(02:47):
cancer as.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Promises CBS's Christian Benevitez. This research and other related studies
reveal a complex relationship between humans and the new technology.
The winds have died down considerably. They're almost non existent
this morning. It is, however, just fifteen here in the city,
and a number of cities and towns this morning are
waking up in single digit territory. Now. The record high
(03:08):
temperature to record low temperature today is minus eight, so
we won't get anywhere close to that, but it's close enough,
and it's very cold for this time of year. It
is going to get better throughout the day later today.
The sunshine this morning will give way to clouds, will
rise our temperatures to around freezing today, and that, believe
it or not, is making some progress. Maybe some snow
(03:28):
or rain arrive early this evening. Otherwise it's mostly cloudy
and temperatures are going to rise in the overnight hours. Tomorrow,
we'll settle in the mid forties under mostly cloudy skies
with some showers from time to time, mix of sun
and clouds. On Thursday and Friday too, with a high
temperature only in the thirties. We're looking at an extended
run of thirty degree or thereabouts temperatures, including in the weekend,
(03:50):
and we are watching the potential for a storm system
Saturday night into Sunday. Right now in Boston Tuesday morning,
in clear skies, it's fifteen here in Boston at six
oh five Millior days, merry and bright. Even as the
mailbox takes a back seat this holiday season, it's.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
A tradition that's going by the wayside noticeably.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's getting less and less every year.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Oh yeah, it sending Christmas cards, snapshots of our lives,
mail to others as well, wishes for the Yule Tide
perk spirits like his.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And you know, philgo while somebody send me a car.
You know, it's like a give you know, I.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Feel you but less unless people send them each year,
with text messages quicker and easier, the price of postage
on the rise, and the feeling that so many say
that their effort isn't reciprocated, or, as he explains about
his family and their Christmas card drop off, the kids
don't want to take.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Quickness with each other anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So it's that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Chris Fama, WBZ, Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 1 (04:45):

the parents. Well, today is National Christmas Card Day, by

Well, it's a busy time of year, isn't it, Jeffrey,
And we feel it done in Yeah, I know. In fact,
a new poll from the American Psychiatric Association finds forty
one percent of American adults expect to feel more stressed
during the holiday season this year compared to last big number.
Right clinical psychologists carried ditzel best advice you do you
(05:21):
this holiday season?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Take a minute to think about what you really want
to do, Which party, which person is worth the stress
or the disruption?
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Which party is worth the routine break for you?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Jeff, which one the what the which party?

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
One of the biggest worries for people this holiday season,
and I think probably every holiday season buying up all
those gifts.

all right, most of all you get all sorts of issues. Okay,
are you finished? Okay, thank you. Late night talk show

Months after he was suspended and apologized over comments he
made about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Can you understand that it was never my intention to
make light of the murder of a young man.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
ABC has renewed Jimmy Kimmel's contract through May of twenty
twenty seven. Kimmel's Kirk comments prompted millions of people to
cancel their Disney Hulu streaming subscriptions. President Trump took a
swipe at Kimmel ahead of his own hosting gig at
last weekend's Kennedy Center Honors.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
If I can't beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent,
then I don't think I should be president.

In an Instagram post, Kimmel says, I am pleased to
announce another no talent year. Deborah Rodriguez, CBS News.
