Speaker 1

Clouds in Boston forty five degrees at six o'clock. Good morning, I'm Charlie burger On. Here's what's happening. Our weather today will remind you of November Today. It's much colder, with breezy conditions, some rain and drizzle at times, especially late in the day, with temperatures holding just about steady in the low to mid forty So nice yesterday and not so good today. Details coming up with acuweather is Letroy

Thornton in just a couple of minutes. Thousands expected in Boston today to rally in spite of this chili weather. CBS News Boston's Samantha Cheney.

Speaker 2

Protesters set to rally Saturday morning.

Speaker 3

It's a time for everybody to get up from the kitchen table and say hands off, hands off our government, hands off our constitution.

Speaker 2

Protest organizer Kate Marritt O'Toole wants President Trump and Elon Musk to hear their concerns.

Speaker 3

Elon Musk's interference into the databases and people's private information, social security, lots of concerns.

Speaker 2

It's a message that will be heard all across the country as rallies are expected to happen in all fifty states. In Boston, it starts right here in the common.

Speaker 3

Last time checked, we were close to ten thousand, but that's usually a way low number than what actually shows up.

Speaker 4

Rainer Chin, I'll be out there.

Speaker 2

Andre Phillips says nothing will stop him from showing up with more people.

Speaker 5

A quote at the same time aloud of the voice.

Speaker 1

So it's a kind of idea and the rally set to begin at eleven am. The Dropkick Murphy's will also be playing a special acoustics set during the rally. The Senate approving a multi trillion dollar tax break and spending cut package early this morning. A mostly party line vote fifty one forty eight passage of the plan paves the way for Republicans to push a tax cut bill through both chambers of Congress. Republicans are framing this work as

preventing a tax increase from most American families. Democrats accused Republicans of laying the groundwork for increasing deficits and cutting key safety net programs. Hours of debate continued into the early morning hours before a final vote sending the package to the House for the next step. Red Sox got a nice win yesterday. They beat the Saint Louis Cardinals at Fenway and their home opener thirteen to nine. Game two of the series today at four to ten. Jalen

Brown scored thirty one. The Celtics beat Phoenix at the Garden one twenty three to one. OZH three Bruins in Carolina face off tonight at the Garden. Revolution on the road tonight in Cincinnati, and it's down to two. The Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament National title games all set.

Speaker 5

Their quest for a second straight title continues. The South Carolina game Cocks advanced to their third national championship game in four years, knocking off Texas in the National Semis Friday night, seventy four fifty seven. Their next opponent the Yukon Huskies, who blew out overall top seed UCLA eighty five p fifty one. Yukon and South Carolina meet Sunday afternoon in Tampa. Erica Herskowitz for CBS News.

Speaker 1

And that'll be a three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Let's check the four day WBZ ACTU weather forecast. It's not a good four day stretch that Troy Thornton tells us. Today, Cloudy, breezy, cold, rain and drizzle at times, mainly this afternoon. Temperatures in the low to mid forties today, rain of times overnight tonight, maybe some thunder along the south coast that cape the islands down to thirty nine overnight tonight. Tomorrow, another cloudy,

milder day with a few showers. Temperatures in the mid and upper fifties for Monday, lingering rain and drizzle more likely to the south and east of Boston. Otherwise, a cloudy, brisk, cold day, only forty two for a high on Monday, and then more of the same Tuesday, a rain shower to start, perhaps snow in rain colder spots north and west of Boston. Otherwise, a cloudy day with some sunny breaks, and again only low forties for Tuesdays, so not a

good four day stretch. Forty five degrees in clouds right now in Boston at six oh five, and historical landmark estate in Mathil, built by an industrialist and interior designer around the turn of the twentieth century, might be putting that property up for sale. Here's wbs's Sherry.

Speaker 6

Small Mathuin bought the historic Cereals mansion and estate last year, and if the City Council approves, it will be up forbid starting at around three and a half million with Douen Director of Economic and Community Development Jack Wilson.

Speaker 1

The city that didn't contemplate it with an absolute definite yes, we're buying it to keep it. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It was we're going to buy it and be a custodian of it until we find the right partnuct.

Speaker 6

According to Mathuin Mayor DJ Beauregard, that right partner would be.

Speaker 4

Somebody who or even a group you know, was committed to the restoration and preservation of the property so that it's not lost. I've heard people say it represents the soul of Mathuin.

Speaker 6

You know.

Speaker 4

At the end of the day, if we are able to find a partner or partners perhaps who would be able to commit to working with us, that is I think ideal in Mathun.

Speaker 1

Sherry Small w BZ Boston Sneeze Radio. Theodore McCarrick, the former cardinal and spiritual leader of the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, d C, has died at the age of ninety four. It was back in June of twenty eighteen. McCarrick was suspended by the Vatican in twenty twenty one at the age of ninety one. Mister mccarick pleading not guilty to sexually assaulting a sixteen year old boy in nineteen seventy four during a wedding reception here in the Bay State.

An investigation by the Archdiocese of New York concluded accusation that he had abused a teenage boy in the seventies were credible and substantiated. In January of twenty nineteen, the Vatican found mister mccarick guilty of sexually abusing miners and adult seminarians, becoming the first US cardinal or bishop defroct by the Vatican. A traveling nurse from Hampton, New Hampshire, sentenced to three months in federal prison for stealing morphine.

It was back in twenty twenty one that lor Lee Lebroad was fired from a rehab center in Derry, newham accused of tampering with bottles of morphine, and at the time surrendered her nursing license in New Hampshire. In twenty twenty two, working as a travel nurse in Massachusetts, the Broad again caught diluting bottles of morphine at a rehab in Danvers, pleading guilty back in November to one count of tampering. At her sentencing yesterday, the fifty five year

old abroad was also sentenced to two years of supervised release. Hospitals, nursing homes, home healthcare agencies could take a hit from the deportation of legal and undocumented migrants.

Speaker 7

A study published in JAMMA Network finds that deportations could worsen already critical shortages of healthcare workers in the US. Doctor Stefi Woolhandler is one of the studies authors.

Speaker 3

To my knowledge, there's no potential pool of workers who could build these positions.

Speaker 7

Certainly, that's what the hospital executors are saying, that's what the nursing home industry is saying. Researchers say about four percent of staff at hospitals and outpatient settings in the US, seven percent of nursing home workers, and at least ten percent of personnel and home care agencies and informal settings are non citizen immigrants, documented and undocumented.
