Speaker 1: This is WBT, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Speaker 2: Blue skies, breezy, twenty one degrees. That's it in Boston.
Speaker 2: It's a chilly, clear Monday. We're warming up though midweek.
Speaker 2: More on that coming up, but first, the Mayor of
Speaker 2: Boston coming under withering criticism on social media for giving
Speaker 2: condolences to the family of an armed man who's stormed
Speaker 2: into the back Bay Chick fil A and tried to
Speaker 2: stab two people. An off duty police officer shot and
Speaker 2: killed the suspect. The restaurant is closed today, and Suffolk
Speaker 2: County DA Kevin Hayden says he has reason to believe
Speaker 2: that others may have been involved in what led up
Speaker 2: to that violence. Mayor Michelle Woos's trauma services are available
Speaker 2: throughout the city of Boston. But again, people in Boston
Speaker 2: and nationwide have been really commenting quite a bit, and
Speaker 2: Alavid is negative on the Mayor's comments. We'll be following
Speaker 2: up on that shortly. After being delayed for about a month,
Speaker 2: sweeping tariffs on neighboring Mexico and Canada are expected to
Speaker 2: go into effect tomorrow, along with another tariff on China.
Speaker 2: The move includes twenty five percent tariffs on both of
Speaker 2: America's neighbors and another ten percent tariff as I said
Speaker 2: on China. So how will these terriffs impact US consumers?
Speaker 2: ABC's Alexis christoffers with that.
Speaker 3: We're talking about perishable items like fresh fruits and vegetables,
Speaker 3: including avocados, tomatoes, bell peppers, also baked goods, cereals, and pasta,
Speaker 3: as well as beef and some seafood from Canada. And
Speaker 3: if you're in the market for a new car, analysts
Speaker 3: say the tariffs could add up to at least three
Speaker 3: thousand dollars more on that price. That includes, by the way,
Speaker 3: domestic cars.
Speaker 2: Is this set in Stone well? Commerce Secretary Lutnick says
Speaker 2: the situation right now is fluid. We'll see in the
Speaker 2: Middle East, Israel and Kamas or at odds again over
Speaker 2: the next steps of a ceasefire deal. Growing concerns now
Speaker 2: that the fighting could resume in Gaza. Israel wants to
Speaker 2: extend phase one of the original ceasefire deal that expired
Speaker 2: this last weekend. Hamas wants to move forward to the
Speaker 2: second phase. We get more from ABC News. Israel responding
Speaker 2: by cutting off all aid to Gaza.
Speaker 4: The sticking points are really the full withdrawal of all
Speaker 4: IDF troops from Gaza and this permanency's fire. Israel has
Speaker 4: yet to commit to either of those things. There are
Speaker 4: critics who say that Netanyahu is really trying to delay
Speaker 4: talks to end the war. They're calling this move to
Speaker 4: block all aid going into Gaza cheap blackmail. And on
Speaker 4: the flip side, we're hearing the Israelis threatening further consequences
Speaker 4: if negotiations go nowhere.
Speaker 2: And again, world leaders gathered for someone on ending the
Speaker 2: war in Ukraine this weekend. In the UK, the British
Speaker 2: Prime Minister and other European leaders committed to helping Ukrainian

Speaker 2: heels of a contentious White House meeting with President Trump
Speaker 2: and Vice President Vance Wendy. Lots of sun high thirty
