00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>fifty six degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. Holiday getaway. Busy highways

4
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>are always part of our equation.

5
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 2>It makes me warranty, makes me warrant tea back room.

6
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 1>H huh, sure does. By the way, besides back roads,

7
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>another good way to avoid traffic is in a helicopter. Thankfully,

8
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>wbz's Kristin k is high above the traffic in the

9
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Needham Bank copter. What do you see, Kristen.

10
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, then we do have a bunch of backups out there,

11
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 3>one of them being out on the mass Pike of

12
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 3>Sturbridge and Charlton.

13
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 2>We've got a disabled vehicle to sitting westbound near the

14
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Tarlton Service.

15
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Plauds and making a mess of things there.

16
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>We've also got delays heading toward the Cape. We're gonna

17
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>have a lot more on that throughout the afternoon with

18
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 1>traffic on the three is reporting live over the Memorial

19
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Day exodus. Kristin Eck in the naed of Bank Copper.

20
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.719
<v Speaker 1>All right, if you're going somewhere, just pack the patients.

21
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a couple extra doses of it. The State of

22
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire has reached the settlement in the wrongful death

23
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.239
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit filed by the mother of Harmony Montgomery. The state

24
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>will pay more than two million dollars to Crystal Surry,

25
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 1>who filed the suit against the Division for Children, Youth

26
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and Families last year. She argues that they failed to

27
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>act on numerous reports of concerning behavior from Harmony's father,

28
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 1>who eventually was convicted of murdering Harmony. Adam Montgomery, was

29
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>awarded custody of Harmony in twenty sixteen. Police believe she

30
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>was killed soon after that. A federal judge has filed

31
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a restraining order blocking the Trump administration from banning international

32
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 1>students at Harvard University. WBC's Mike Macklin tells us one

33
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>local lawmaker is furious at the president.

34
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 3>So wrongheaded everything that the White House is doing. I

35
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 3>just stand in opposition to all that trap. I gotta

36
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 3>tell you, this president and this administration is dragging this

37
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 3>country down down every single day in the eyes of

38
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 3>the world and the eyes of its own citizens and emotional.

39
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts Congressman Stephen inch hammered President Donald Trump for the

40
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>decision to bar international students from enrolling at Harvard.

41
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 3>The people he has assembled in his administration are a

42
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 3>goddamn disgrace.

43
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Disgrace.

44
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 3>It will take years, maybe decades to repair the damage

45
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 3>that Donald Trump and that group of morons and buffoons

46
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 3>is doing to this country each and every day.

47
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>It's just disgraceful.

48
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 2>For now, are federal judge has blocked Trump's move against

49
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>foreign students at Harvard in South Boston Mike maclum w's

50
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 2>Boston's News Radio.

51
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 1>The Department of Homeland Security accuses the school of creating

52
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 1>an unsafe campus environment for Jewish students by allowing anti

53
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 1>American pro terrorist agitators on the Harvard campus. President Trump

54
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>commented earlier today on the situation, they.

55
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 3>Have fifty two billion dollars and this country's paying billions

56
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 3>and millions of dollars, and then give student loans and

57
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 3>have to pay back the loans.

58
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.039
<v Speaker 1>So Harvard's going to have to change his ways. When

59
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>asked about international students coming to American colleges, the President said,

60
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>we don't want troublemakers here. Boston Mayor Michelle Will and

61
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 1>the school superintendent, Mary Skipper announcing today that Min's Attorney

62
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Natasha Tidwell will lead an independent review of safety policies

63
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and performance under contracts with Transdev, the company that contracts

64
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>with BPS to provide transportation services. Tidwell is a former

65
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 1>federal prosecutor and police officer who specializes in external investigations.

66
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 1>The decision to initiate a review follows the death of

67
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Lens Joseph, a kindergartner struck and killed by a school

68
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>bus last month. In case you haven't had enough rain,

69
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 1>we got a little more for you. There's a lot

70
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>of precipitation stretching across Vermont, New Hampshire and off toward

71
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the nord Heren coast of Massachusetts. This is Amesbury, Salisbury,

72
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 1>Newburyport getting it on. A little bit of rain, a

73
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit back toward Merrimac as well. And we are

74
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 1>seeing some of this rain push across New Hampshire also

75
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>from on a line here from Manchester down to Hampstead.

76
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Last out Havel had some rain earlier. Looks like they're

77
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 1>out of the woods at least right now. There's much

78
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 1>more rain back across the western part of Massachusetts, western Connecticut,

79
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and eastern New York State. Some of this has been

80
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>putting down some rain along I eighty four and along

81
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the mass Turnpike. So if that's the way you're heading,

82
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>make sure you have the wipers on because you'll need them.

83
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>And this will push off to the north and to

84
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 1>the east, so everybody may get under a shower or

85
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.319
<v Speaker 1>even some occasional rain as we head into the early evening.

86
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 1>It's not an exceptional amount of rain. It's not like

87
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>yesterday for sure, but nonetheless more rain, which is probably

88
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>not what you wanted to hear. As we go later

89
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 1>into the night, just clouds hanging around. Forty nine clouds

90
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 1>with breaks of sun tomorrow. I did say sun, just

91
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure you hurt me. A shower or

92
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 1>two is possible tomorrow, though temperature is near sixty. Probably

93
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>dry from that point on times of clouds and sunshine

94
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.839
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, temperatures in the low sixties, upper sixties on

95
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Monday for Memorial Day, more sun than clouds for us.

96
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:00.240
