2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I suppose it shouldn't surprise me when go time arrives,

3
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 1>but somehow it always does. And here it is Friday,

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.839
<v Speaker 1>finally in Boston. It is six o'clock and we've got

5
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>mostly cloudy skies. It is a very muggy seventy four

00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 2>The party is apparently over well. I have intervals of

11
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 2>clowns and sunshine today.

12
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.399

15
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 1>and thunderstorms, and a floodwatch has been posted for parts

16

<v Speaker 1>for a weekend series, their first series with the New

25
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Karen Reid trial this morning in Norfolk Superior Court. Day

26
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>off yesterday, when Judge Beverly Canoni decides the already high

27
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>heat of the courtroom would be unbearable to take with

28
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 1>ninety degree temperatures outside. When last we met, the jury

29
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 1>heard from a snowplow driver who says he never saw

30
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 1>a body in the snow outside of Canton home more

31
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>than three years ago, and testimony from a friend of

32
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Karen Reid who says she saw Reid at a bar

33
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 1>hours before John O'Keeffe's death and claims Reid was not drunk,

34
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>but also appeared to be very much in love with

35
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the Boston police officer. Another former girl friend of Sean

36
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Diddy Combs, takes the stand at Comb's federal sex trafficking

37
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and racketeering trial in New York City. The woman known

38
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 1>only as Jane to the jury, speaks in hush tones

39
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>and claims that Combs forced her to take part in

40
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of sex parties known as freak coughs, and says

41
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>her relationship with a hip hop mogul change for the

42
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.159
<v Speaker 1>worse during a party at a Los Angeles hotel several

43
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Jane says, despite her fears, she felt obligated

44
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>to Playcate Colmbs. The fifty five year old faces up

45
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 1>to a lifetime in prison if convicted, but he denies

46
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>all of the charges. A short lived White House bromance

47
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>falls apart when both President Trump and Elon Musk say

48
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 1>it's not me, it's you. The falling out spirals out

49
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 1>of control in real time.

50
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 3>An advisor to President Trump told CBS News that Musk,

51
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 3>who is deeply involved with his SpaceX rocket company, is

52
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 3>angry the nomination of his preferred pick to run NASA

53
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 3>was pulled. Trump withdrew the nomination of Jared Isaacman to

54
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 3>head NASA without explanation last Saturday. Musk was also agitated,

55
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 3>the advisor says, when government support for electric cars was

56
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 3>pulled from the budget bill, potentially chipping away at the

57
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 3>bottom line of his car company. Tesla Michael Toscano, CBS

58

<v Speaker 3>News Washington.

59
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Both go at it on social media yesterday, but both

60
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>sides seem to have cooler heads prevail. Late last night,

61
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 1>lost in the drama of the White House selon Musk

62
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 1>soap opera, President Trump and China's President Chijingpang meet on

63
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 1>the phone and spend an hour and a half talking

64
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:32.199
<v Speaker 1>about the kids, the family, and yes, jump starting trade talks.

65
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>President Trump says the business end of the phone call

66
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>results in a plan to immediately resume those discussions.

67
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 4>The Commerce and Treasury Secretary and the Trade representative will

68
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.120
<v Speaker 4>be meeting with their Chinese counterparts in the near future,

69
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 4>and also indicated that things were going to be improving

70
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 4>when it comes to the rare earth minerals that the

71
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 4>United States has accused China on slow walking the export

72
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 4>of those things in recent weeks. That was the big

73
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 4>impetus for the President dropping Chinese tariffs from one hundred

74
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 4>down to thirty percent.

75
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Both President Trump and President she also exchange invites to

76
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 1>each other to meet face to face. Ezy sunshine through

77
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 1>otherwise what looks to be a cloudy sky for the

78
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 1>most part here in Greater Boston, it is a very

79
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>sticky seventy four degrees as we get started this morning.

80
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 1>The temperatures will be warm and muggy once again today,

81
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 1>with highs approaching eighty and many inland spots. But we

82
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 1>are going to need to be keeping an eye to

83
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the sky, say around noontime and thereafter, we've got the

84
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>very real possibility of seeing showers and some potent thunderstorms

85
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>rumbling through the area. In fact, a flood watch is

86
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.319
<v Speaker 1>in effect for portions west of Boston later on today

87
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.240
<v Speaker 1>as well. Unfortunately, this rain is going to linger through

88
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the overnight hours and will extend into the early stages

89
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 1>of tomorrow. Saturday kicks off the weekend with a few

90
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.439
<v Speaker 1>more showers and thunderstorms. Otherwise, it looks like a mostly cloudy,

91
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>warm day tomorrow with highs in the mid seventies. The

92
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>end of the weekend on Sunday looks a whole lot better,

93
00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>with a mix of sun and clouds and high temperatures

94
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 1>in the middle seventies as well. Right now, we're already

95
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 1>there at seventy four here in Boston and a very

96
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.160
