Is a great divide, Jeffrey. In the classroom, boys and men in Massachusetts cannot keep up with females. A new report finds fourth grade boys are behind girls in class, specifically in reading, and it doesn't get any better through at least middle school. Even older men can't stand up to women. The study from Boston Indicators finds women's life expendency is eighty three, leaving men five years in the dust. Men and boys of color impacted the most. Jeffrey, well,
that's great news. Thank you, Andrew.

New study this morning warrens Parkinson's disease will become much more prevalent. The Parkinson's Foundation estimates there are ten million people worldwide with the progressive neurological disorder. This new study, published by the medical journal the BMJ, says by twenty fifty there will be twenty five million peace people with
the disease, due largely to the world's population aging. The average age of onset for Parkinson's disease is between sixty and seventy years old, but some early onset cases can begin at age twenty. It is more common in men than in women. Michael Wallace, CBS News, What a wild night for most of us, with some very heavy rain and some high winds. Most of the system is now pulled offshore, although some heavy rain still persists over the
Cape and islands. This morning, there's another batch of showers moving through Western Mass. But this has been quite a night and it's finally moving on. And because of the impact of this storm up and down the East coast, there are a couple of dozen delays on the boarded Logan Airport this morning. And because of the wind and the rain combination, about fifteen hundred power outages reported by FEMA or MIMA, I should say as of this morning. Otherwise for the rest of the day we might see
a couple of leftover showers. Is going to be a mostly cloudy and breezy day today. High temperatures are going to get very close to sixty degrees. In fact, right now it's fifty five here in Boston, way above the normal temperatures for this time time of year. That's going to change in a flash overnight tonight. It's going to get sharply colder as a cold front moves in. Very windy conditions move in tomorrow, but it's a return of sunshine. High temperatures will only be in the lower forties, but
there will be a wind chill factor as well. It continues to be rather nice over the weekend, but still a bit breezy and a bit colder, with highs only around forty degrees on Saturday, and pretty much the same story for Sunday as well, maybe a little bit lighter breezes by then. Right now in Boston it's fifty five, clouds, showers and otherwise damp. Here in Boston on this Thursday morning, it is six so five. Not one to shy away from a fight.
Let's talk about Tom Homan. Shame on him for lying about my city, for having the nerve to insult our police commissioner, who has overseen the safest Boston's been in anyone's lifetime. Bring him here under oath and let's ask him some questions.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wou stands up to hours of Congressional heat in the nation's capital.
Seated beside the mayors of New York City, Denver. In Chicago, Mayor Michelle wo opened her testimony by noting crime is down in Boston and she's the daughter of immigrants.
A city that's scared is not a city that's safe.
Mayor ru was questioned by Congressman Paul Gozar of Arizona over which laws take precedent federal or local. She used that as an opportunity to advocate for what she'd like to see come out of Congress.
Stop cutting medicaid, stop cutting cancer research, stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our city safe.

Meantime, the President is said to be getting increasingly frustrated with the small number of immigrant deportations since his first day in office. Survey says most people in New York City want Mayor Eric Adams to step down. The latest poll from Quinnipiac University shows his approval rating stands at just twenty percent. That is the lowest that the Quinnipiac poll has ever seen in it's thirty years of tracking

The mayoral race, by the way, is on in New York City, and the newest survey shows former Governor Andrew Cuomo with a wide lead over several others.
