<v Speaker 1>it comes to international students. More from WBC's Brook McCarthy.

28
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 3>Harvard University says the government's action is unlawful after Homeland

29
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 3>Security Secretary Christy Nome ordered her department to terminate the

30
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 3>school Student and Exchange Program certification, which means they can

31
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.640
<v Speaker 3>no longer enroll foreign students, and ones already on campus

32
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.719
<v Speaker 3>must transfer or lose their legal status. In a letter

33
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 3>to the school, Nome says they are holding Harvard accountable

34
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 3>for fostering violence, anti Semitism, and coordinating with the Chinese

35
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 3>Communist Party on campus. She called enrolling foreign students a privilege,

36
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 3>not a right. In their response, Harvard says they are

37
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 3>fully committed to maintaining the school's ability to host international

38
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 3>students and scholars. Harvard has students from over one hundred

39
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.039
<v Speaker 3>and forty different countries. The administration has also cut roughly

40
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>three billion dollars in federal funding from the school for

41
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 3>not complying with its policies. Burke McCarthy WBZ Boston's news radio.

42
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>It was early embassy staff members shot and killed in Washington,

43
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>d c. And as the investigation continues, Massachusetts Governor Morraheely

44
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>is reacting. The governor says state police n alert, but

45
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.479
<v Speaker 1>there's no known threat to the commonwealth. The killing happened

46
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>outside an American Jewish Committee event. The governor says this

47
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>was a senseless, hate fueled act of violence and says

48
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>there is no justification for anti Semitism or violence in

49
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>our nation's capital or anywhere else. President Trump set the

50
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>host of the top crystal currency investors out of dinner tonight,

51
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>a president calling it the most exclusive invitation in the world.

52
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 1>ABC's Karen Travers tells us the event is sparking some

53
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>conflict of interest concerns.

54
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 4>Whitehouse defended President Trump attending tonight's exclusive Crypto Gala, a

55
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 4>dinner at his golf in Virginia with the top two

56
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 4>hundred and twenty holders of the Trump Meme. Coin Press

57
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.120
<v Speaker 4>Secretary Caroline Levitt was asked whether the White House Counsel's

58
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 4>off has reviewed the dinner and offered advice on his participation.

59
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 5>President is abiding by all conflict of interest laws that

60
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 5>are applicable to the President, and I think everybody the

61
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 5>American public believe it's absurd for anyone to insinuate that

62
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 5>this president is profiting off of the presidency.

63
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 6>Karen Travers ABC News, we are still dealing with this northeaster,

64
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 6>and depending on where you are, rain is falling at

65
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 6>a varying degree. We have some heavier rain back through

66
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 6>parts of central Massachusetts. In fact, some pretty heavy downpours

67
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 6>north central right now, out toward the Winchington area Gardner

68
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 6>that kind of comes down across through the state. And

69
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 6>then there's heavier rain down around Rhode Island. There's been

70
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 6>some over the Cape and islands. A lot of this

71
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 6>is pushing off toward the north. So as we go

72
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 6>through the afternoon, in the latter part of the afternoon,

73
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 6>in the evening, places where it's maybe not rain quite

74
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 6>as heavily, I might pick up some heavier rain and

75
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 6>all that rain got to go somewhere. Sometimes it just

76
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 6>puddles up in poor drainage areas and low lying areas,

77
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 6>and that may be quite a problem, certainly on the roadways.

78
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 6>As we head into this evening.

79
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>We do have a coastal flood advisory that starts at

80
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 1>six o'clock to night, a wind advisory through this evening

81
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 1>along the coast. Some of our wind gusts already in

82
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 1>excess of forty miles an hour. We may see some

83
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 1>hit fifty miles an hour as we go through the night. Tomorrow,

84
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>it's cloudy, it's breezy, it is cool. It'll feel even

85
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>cooler with that breeze. Temperatures in the mid fifties. A

86
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 1>couple of showers will linger Tomorrow night, blustery with occasional rain.

87
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Temperatures in the upper forties and then upper fifties. On Saturday,

88
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>we'll have some clouds around, we may have a shower

89
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>or two. Sunday gets better, some sunshine, Temperatures in the sixties.
