A of this out but the standoff as it were does appear to have been resolved peacefully. While we can say that, suspect taken into custody but then we had this fire, we hope to get answers in and well have an update at 10 00 and 11 00, certainly before that if events warrant. Jim smith. Thank you so much. Of course the other big story that people are talking about right now, the weather. Here in boston Christmas Day 60 plus degrees and sunny. Worcester they tied a record but change is coming. Pamela gardner is here with the news few will want to hear, us. Big changes next week, we have winter like temperatures and a winter storm, our first storm, the big question with this one, too early to tell, we will be dealing with some form of winter precip, sleet, freezing rain and some snow. Too early for any projections record in worcester, the high of 0 degrees tied the old record set in 1964, boston 62 degrees, shy of the record of 65 degrees much but it is the second warmest Christmas Ever recorded in boston. Current temperatures have clicked into the 50s, 56 degrees boston. 54 pete town, showers moving in from the northwest, spotty showers continue to sag southward, heaviest rain staying way to the south. Most of us will be dry, temperatures in the 50s, falling to 48 degrees by 1 00. More on that first winter storm coming up in just a bit, liam. We have new video at 6 00, fire destroying a home on jan stop, rode island, finding heavy flames there, everyone did get out of the house safely. One man cut his arm on some broken glass, the family lost everything including their christmas presents much the jan stop Police Department has set up a gofundme page to help the family. A haverhill mother and kas tonight accused of sending police on a wild goss chase. Investigators say the two lied about seeing a man throwing a baby off a bridge, and it set Christmas Eve. Ryan cats has a closer look. On Christmas Eve the sky lit up with a frantic rescue effort. It was big, there was spotlights everywhere. The helicopters literally shining on the river. By land, air and water, authorities searched for the the bridge. Actually before i went to bed last night, me and my boyfriend and his daughters prayed that everything was going to work out okay. The good news there was no baby in the river. The bad, the entire thing was a hoax. Police say the call came in from holly fowler and daughter chris see helped fabricate the entire story. Definitely really twisted especially with a mother and a daughter. The women apparently told police they were up on their balcony talking last night when they suddenly saw a man on the river and then take off running with an empty carriage. We they have heard a splash or anything. Kevin lives in an apartment overlooking the river. We were heart broken at first. But then we were kind of like, no, we didnt hear anything. And then we suspected them because they are just weird. With mom still in jail, no one opened the door at the apartment. Or wanted to talk when we called from the lobby. But the duo will have to answer to criminal charges when they appear in court on upon day. I cant fathom somebody would do Something Like that, thats terrible. Im glad it was a hoax.

He has spoken out in defense of both Syrian Refugees and american muslims. Two groups under fire from gop president ial frontrunner donald trump. And while the cardinal is steering clear of any direct political conflict, the difference between the philosophies of the two men could not have been more clear. The cardinal brought his Homeless People and volunteers at the states largest day shelter, three months to the day after pope francis delivered a simply to the political establishment in washington. I hope that our country particularly in this period of elections when people are talking about whats new leaders need to do, that economic problems and homelessness should be high on their list. Donald j trump is calling for a total and complete shut down of muslims entering the united states. But the campaign has taken a different turn to the cardinals dismay. Cardinal what guess through your mind when you hear a harsh message, a xenophobia and nationalism coming from a candidate rising in the polls. Well its very worrisome. You know, our country has had a history of receiving immigrants at the same time, will has always been, you know, no irish need apply, that kind of attitude. Asked what he would say to trump if he could address him directly. The cardinal said he would ask him to reflect on what the christmas story teaches and what may have been a nod to trumps trademark make America Great hat. The story of america. When america was at her greatest is when we are faithful to that beautiful inscription on the statue of liberty that is inviting the people who are suffering and oppressed to come to these shores. So, who cares what the cardinal thinks . That remains to be seen. But its worth noting that New Hampshire has the 8th largest catholic population of the country, 35 .
