00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 2>News, mostly sunny, forty three degrees in Boston at eleven o'clock. Hello,

<v Speaker 2>Sherry Small. Let's get you caught up. Here's what's happening.

5
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Karen Reid's second murder trial begins in two weeks, but

6
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 2>today the judge is considering a number of motions from

7
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.719
<v Speaker 2>both the prosecution and the defense, including what witnesses will

8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 2>be allowed in the courtroom. Here's defense attorney Liz a Little.

9
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 3>At the first trial, members of the Albert and mccab

10
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 3>families continued to attend court after their testimony. During closing arguments,

11
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Colin Albert, Ryan Albert, and Jennifer McCabe were all seated

12
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 3>in the jury box with the O'Keeffe family. At least

13
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 3>one juror who was seated in this case indicated to

14
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 3>a reporter at Vanity Fair that she felt in terminated

15
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 3>by their presence closing arguments.

16
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Again, defense attorney lies a little there, but the prosecution

17
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 2>argues that witnesses who are also family members should be

18
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 2>allowed to sit through the court proceedings. Will have updates

19
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.400

23
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.920

24
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 2>wait for Williams and Wilmore. They were supposed to be

25
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.159
<v Speaker 2>at the ISS for just about a week, but ended

26

<v Speaker 2>of course bring you the very latest. A wave of

32
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 2>IS air strikes attacks along the Gaza Strip kills more

33
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 2>than four hundred people. The Gaza Health Ministry says that

34
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>includes women and children. Here's ABC's Nicole D'Antonio with my.

35
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 4>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he ordered the strikes after

36
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:18.360
<v Speaker 4>Hamas refused to release more hostages. Hamas says Netanyahu has

37
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 4>decided to overturn the ceasefire deal. Negotiations have stalled, with

38
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 4>neither side able to agree on a path forward. Israel

39
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 4>says this new offensive will continue as long as necessary

40
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 4>and could expand beyond just air strikes.

41
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 2>The strikes come after President Trump made another demand for

42
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Hamas to release all the hostages. The EPA cus ties

44
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 2>the Office of Research and Development, will be laid off.

45
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 2>EPA chief Lee Zelden says he plans to cut the

46
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 2>entire agency's budget by sixty five percent, wiping out most chemists, biologists,

47
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.039

51
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>in some of those coldest inland suburbs. Tomorrow, we start

52
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>out with a mix of sun and clouds. Highs again

53
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.240

54
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 2>for the capin Islands. But then we'll see some low clouds,

55
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>some areas of fog and drizzle return Wednesday night, same Dale.

56

89
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.480

90
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Kremlin to agree to this ceasefire. As far as Russia goes, well,

91
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>it could be argued that they've already got at least

92
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 1>one of their objectives, which is to be taken seriously

93
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to be accepted into the international fold, to have relations

94

101
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.439
