Speaker 1: And very windy out there. A few high clouds can
Speaker 1: have a shower later. We'll take a look at the
Speaker 1: forecast in just a few minutes. Good morning, I'm Nicole Davis,
Speaker 1: and here's what's happening. Starting in Dedham, where testimony continues
Speaker 1: in the Karen Reid murder Reed trial. Week five now underway.
Speaker 1: A digital forensics expert who analyzed data from Reed's SUV
Speaker 1: the night that John O'Keeffe died is on the stand.
Speaker 1: W BZ Suzanne Saalsville has more coming up in the
Speaker 1: news at eleven fifteen meantime, at eleven oh one, former
Speaker 1: President Biden has put out his first public statement since
Speaker 1: announcing he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of
Speaker 1: prostate cancer. ABC Stephen Portnoy has that.
Speaker 2: On social media, the former president posts a picture of
Speaker 2: himself smiling, sitting on a couch next to his wife Jill,
Speaker 2: who looks on unsmiling holding their cat Willow. Biden writes,
Speaker 2: cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill
Speaker 2: and I have learned that we are strongest in the
Speaker 2: broken places. This month marks ten years since the death
Speaker 2: of Biden's son bo from a brain tumor in a.
Speaker 1: Truth social post last night, President Trump wrote he and
Speaker 1: the First Lady were quote sat in to hear about
Speaker 1: the former president's diagnosis. In the posts, they add that
Speaker 1: they extend their warmest and best wishes to Jill and
Speaker 1: the family and wishing for President Biden's successful recovery. Meantime,
Speaker 1: President Trump's tax cut and budget bill has cleared a
Speaker 1: big hurdle on its way through the House. Last night,
Speaker 1: it squeaked through the Budget Committee. This bill, if passed,
Speaker 1: would continue tax cuts from the president's first term, increase
Speaker 1: spending on the military, and bring cuts to Medicaid that
Speaker 1: Democrats say would result in millions losing health coverage. Your
Speaker 1: CBS is Caitlin Huey.
Speaker 3: Burns Speaker Mike Johnson says he wants a full vote
Speaker 3: on the floor this Thursday, and he can really only
Speaker 3: afford to lose a couple of votes, So the President
Speaker 3: is starting to apply that pressure now.
Speaker 4: Even if this bill passes the House, it still has
Speaker 4: to go through the US Senate, where one Republican over
Speaker 4: there compared it to the titane.
Speaker 1: And some hardline Republicans in the House say the bill
Speaker 1: doesn't cut spending enough. Meantime, before we take a look
Speaker 1: at traffic. Some officials are seeing trouble in the forecast
Speaker 1: now for the nation's meteorologists here CBS's Jim Cursula.
Speaker 5: The National Weather Service has been an around the clock
Speaker 5: operation for at least half a century, but that may
Speaker 5: soon change because of Trump administration budget cuts. The agency's
Speaker 5: Official Employees Association says four of its one hundred and
Speaker 5: twenty two field officers don't have enough meteorologists to staff
Speaker 5: an overnight shift, and several more forecast officers are expected
Speaker 5: to soon stop staffing an overnight shift.
Speaker 1: One of these short staffed National Weather Service offices is
Speaker 1: in eastern Kentucky, where those deadly storms hit over the weekend.
Speaker 1: It is gusty out there, for sure. We have the
Speaker 1: wind howling right now from the northwest about twenty five
Speaker 1: miles an hour, gusting in many places up to about
Speaker 1: the mid thirty mile an hour range, So keep that
Speaker 1: in mind for the rest of the afternoon. Might want
Speaker 1: to bring a sweater or a jacket just in case,
Speaker 1: because even though we're getting into the sixties for a
Speaker 1: high today, it is likely not going to feel quite
Speaker 1: that warm. We could also have a couple of showers
Speaker 1: in spots throughout the afternoon. Now for tonight we clear
Speaker 1: out whatever showers we might have, and we'll have a
Speaker 1: couple of clouds. It'll be chilly and breezy, a low
Speaker 1: in the upper forties. For Tomorrow, breezy, cloudy, and even cooler,
Speaker 1: with a high only in the upper fifties. Now Wednesday,
Speaker 1: considerable clouds, rain is possible late southwest of Boston and
Speaker 1: chillier still with a high only in the mid fifties.
Speaker 1: Then Thursday feeling more like fall, windy, chilly, periods of rain,
Speaker 1: and we have a high year fifty. Our temperatures right
Speaker 1: now fifty nine in Needum, we're at sixty one degrees
Speaker 1: in Lowell, sixty one is well in Marshfield. And in
Speaker 1: Boston at eleven oh five it is fifty nine, partly sunny,
Speaker 1: and that wind from the northwest right now at about
Speaker 1: twenty five miles an hour. Now, when people share concerns
Speaker 1: about artificial intelligence in the classroom, mostly they're worried about
Speaker 1: students using it to cheat, but what about teachers using it?
Speaker 4: Seeing AI as the progression of technology, but also being
Speaker 4: worried about AI.
Speaker 6: Talking to parents and quinsy about their thoughts on AI
Speaker 6: in the classroom. Most degree kids are excited to use
Speaker 6: it all, especially the technology you already have.
Speaker 4: Definitely, definitely, especially how they are like the kids are
Speaker 4: like so enamored with like Alexa.
Speaker 6: Both students and teachers like using it, in fact a
Speaker 6: little bit too much. Recently, a student at Northeastern alleged
Speaker 6: their professor was using chat GPT and now they are
Speaker 6: suing to get their tuition money back. Interesting flip of
Speaker 6: the script when it comes to AI in education, and
Speaker 6: it's cool.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a great concept, but it's also like
Speaker 1: it kind of takes away some of the creativity.
Speaker 6: Another angle of analysis into how this amazing technology can
Speaker 6: be used for both students and teachers alike. In Quincy,
Speaker 6: Jim mcka WBZ Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1: Police in Boston, so they need your help to track
Speaker 1: down a man involved in a violent road rate attack

Speaker 1: forty five. The suspect was allegedly chasing the victim's vehicle
Speaker 1: and that caused the victim to crash right by ten

Speaker 1: And just days before the Memorial Day travel rush, another
Speaker 1: close called a major airport here in the US, A
Speaker 1: plane at LaGuardia in New York had to stop takeoff
Speaker 1: to avoid a potential disaster.
Speaker 7: LaGuardia air traffic controller gave an American Eagle flight operated
Speaker 7: by Republic Airways the go ahead for takeoff and then
Speaker 7: abruptly telling them to cancel because the United plane was
Speaker 7: taxing on that same runway shop the two planes coming
Speaker 7: shockingly close to each other before the Republic Airways flight
Speaker 7: reduced speed. The planes were just zero zero point two
Speaker 7: seven miles away from each other, according to flight Radar
Speaker 7: twenty four and.
Speaker 1: As ABC's Gio Benitez as comes, of course, after a
