00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.800
<v Speaker 2>It's forty degrees with sunshine at least for now in

3
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Boston at eleven o'clock. Good Thursday Morning, on Madison Rodgers,

4
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 2>and here's what's happening. New data shows inflation has cooled down,

5
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>but there is an asterisk. Here's ABC's Brian Clark.

6
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Consumer prices increase by two point four percent in March

7
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 3>compared to a year ago. That's a cool damp. Economists

8
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.840
<v Speaker 3>projected a two point six percent increase, but this data

9
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 3>was collected before President Trump's tariff escalation. Economists say tariffs

10
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 3>could leave inflation high. The two point four percent reading

11
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 3>is still above the federal reserves two percent target.

12
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 2>Economists say the lower inflation was driven by plunging gas

13
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 2>prices down six point three percent in March. Massachusetts, though

14
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 2>has not seen that kind of drop. President Trump hitting

15
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.399
<v Speaker 2>pause on what the White House calls its reciprocal tariffs.

16
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Those ten percent tariffs on all imports do remain in place,

17
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 2>though rates on Chinese imports have been pushed to one

18
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty five percent. ABC's Mary Bruce.

19
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 1>That uncertainty trickling down to small business owners like Chris Farley.

20
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>He owns five running apparel stores in the DC area.

21
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 1>All of his stock, from shoes to clothing, produced overseas.

22
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>We were with him when news of the President's decision broke.

23
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>The President appears just announced that he is pausing these

24
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>tariffs and lowering them.

25
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 4>Uh, this is you know, this is the world we're

26
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 4>in now. What I was hoping for is some predictability

27
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 4>of life and work. And this is just so challenging

28
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 4>that that's great news. Maybe I should react that that's

29
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 4>great news, but what does that mean for tomorrow?

30
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Massachusett's Governor Morihely also called for predictability yesterday, holding a

31
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 2>press conference alongside local business leaders. The EU also says

32
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>that it will hold off on counter measures.

33
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 5>European Union officials of Jessa the EU will put its

34
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 5>retaliation measures on hold four ninety days to match President

35
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 5>Trump's tariff's pause. The hope is this Buy's time and

36
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 5>room for a negotiated solution with Washington. It puts on

37
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 5>hold twenty three billion dollars worth of EU duties on

38
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 5>a range of US made products, including tobacco, motorcycles, poultry, steel,

39
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 5>and aluminum. Vicky Barker, CBS News, London.

40
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Now, despite all this positive news, we've also seen another

41
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 2>day of serious value drop or rather rates falling on

42
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street. We'll have the latest on that, with Bloomberg

43
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 2>business coming up in less than ten minutes, opening statements

44
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 2>and Karen Reid's second murder trial more likely right around

45
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.080
<v Speaker 2>the corner. Just one more juror needed. It is day

46
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>eight of jury selection in Dedham. So far the prosecution

47
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>and defense have selected fifteen jurors. It comes as Reid's

48
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 2>defense argues the first jury had actually agreed to acquit

49
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Read on two charges, and as the Supreme Court says

50
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 2>it will, they will not delay the retrial. They are

51
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>on track for opening statements on Tuesday, and we'll continue

52
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 2>to follow the latest right here on WBZ News Radio

53
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and on the iHeartRadio app. In the four day forecast,

54
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 2>we'll see sunshine followed by increasing clouds this afternoon, also

55
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 2>getting breezier out there and Boston the high is around

56
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 2>forty eight degrees. It'll be warmer Inland. It's a night's

57
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>cloudy with a bit of rain later. In Boston the

58
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 2>low's around thirty seven, but in cooler spots north and

59
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>west of the city. You could see that rain mixing

60
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 2>in with a little wet snow, some rain or drizzle

61
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>at times on Friday. Otherwise it's cloudy and breezy with

62
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>a high around forty five near forty on Saturday, with clouds,

63
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>some rain and drizzle much of the day. Just periods

64
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 2>of rain and drizzle on Sunday with temps in the

65
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>mid forties. So that's improvement over the first half of

66
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 2>our weekend. I suppose it will be noticeably milder with

67
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 2>some sun returning on Monday. Look forward to that. Right

68
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>now in Boston and it is forty degrees and Sonny

69
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.360

70
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.680

<v Speaker 2>McKay says, for many local golfers, this is a springtime

72
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>right of passage.

73
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 6>For the lucky few who've been to Augusta.

74
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 3>It's just so different than all the other events that

75
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 3>I've been to.

76
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 6>It's a trip you'll never forget. Speaking to golfers at

77

<v Speaker 6>Presidents and Quinsy, including Marty from Milton, who went to

78

<v Speaker 6>last year's Masters, Golfer's Paradise, you bet you.

79
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Like going to church.

80
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.600
<v Speaker 6>For most of us, however, we marvel from Afar.

81
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 7>My favorite memories are watching an impossible shot can't be done.

82
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 6>Bob from Weymouth who aims to break one hundred on

83
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 6>the course. I'm right there with you. By the way,

84
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 6>It's just fun to sit back and watch the Masters

85
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.600
