<v Speaker 2>sunrise in progress. It is fifty degrees right now. The

8
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Nothing to see here.

9
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 3>Letty of sunshine today, Breezy and pleasant this afternoon.

10
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>High seventy one to seventy five. Actually, that's quite a

11
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>lot to see here. WBZ ACI Weather Meteorologist Joe Lundberg.

12
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.159
<v Speaker 2>We are expecting another decent day coming up tomorrow. Happening

13
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>right now. Weekend's tariff talk between the United States and

14
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>China ends with an agreement for a ninety day pause

15
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>in rates that have all but ground trade to a halt.

16
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 1>As long as there is good state effort, engagement, and

17
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:01.119
<v Speaker 1>constructive dialogue, then we keep moving forward.

18
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.040
<v Speaker 2>That is US Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, who says the

19
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>United States will back down to a traditional thirty percent

20
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 2>tariff on imports wild China resorts to its prior level

21
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 2>of ten percent on US exports. Now, both sides plan

22
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 2>to continue negotiations for a long term, sustainable and mutually

23
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 2>beneficial arrangement, and so far, the news of this trade

24
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 2>pause has sent the US stock markets higher. The Dow

25
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Jones is up by about one thousand points in the

26
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 2>early going. This morning, President Trump is expected to sign

27
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 2>what he calls one of the most significant executive orders

28
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 2>yet this morning at the White House that promises to

29
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 2>lower prescription drug costs covered by Medicare. In a post

30
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>on his Truth social platform this weekend, the President says

31
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>this move will give the US Most Favored Nation status

32
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>and lower the cost of Medicare covered drugs to match

33
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the lowest price anywhere else in the world. The President

34
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 2>says this will shave up to eighty percent of the

35
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 2>cost of some drugs and save Americans trillions of dollars. Critics,

36
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>it's unlikely to get anywhere close to that, at least

37
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>for now, a limited number of drugs are eligible. Celtics

38
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 2>will try to keep their mojo going in New York

39
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.120

00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.919

61
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 4>twenty year record this Memorial Day weekend triple a says

62
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 4>more than forty five million of us are going somewhere

63
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 4>this holiday, which is less than two weeks away.

64
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow, we need a holiday. No, Wa'm sure that would.

65
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Be an increase of about one point five million travelers,

66
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 4>topping the previous high watermark set in two thousand and five.

67
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Seems like we're always breaking records on holiday weekend. Yeah,

68
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 2>we're going to give it another go. No getting to

69
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>the point where we want to change from a spring

70
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>fever to full on summer mode, although it doesn't seem

71
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 2>like we have any big warm ups in the cards

72
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>here of late. However, the weather has turned decidedly nicer

73
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 2>here in Boston. Another nice sunrise underway. It's fifty degrees

74
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 2>right now. We'll see high temperature is eventually getting to

75
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 2>around seventy today, and of course it's going to be

76
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>warmer in inland locations, a little bit cooler along the waterfront.

77
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Mostly sunny and breezy conditions throughout the day. Continued clear

78
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 2>to partly cloudy overnight Tonight, low's in the fifties. Tomorrow

79
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 2>some sunshine to start, Clouds on the increase once again,

80
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>high in the upper sixties to low seventies. We're looking

81
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>at our next possibility of some showers moving in though

82
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>on Wednesday, with a high in the middle sixties, and

83
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 2>that looks like it's going to be the beginning of

84
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 2>an unsettled stretch of weather coming up to take us

85
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 2>through the tail end of this work week. Right now,

86
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 2>all systems go. This Monday morning in Boston, it is

87
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>fifty degrees, clear skies and bright sunshine six oh six

88
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 2>on this Monday morning. Trouble for air travel in the

89
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 2>United States will mean slow downs in the coming weeks

90
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>that could affect flights from coast to coast.

91
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.720
<v Speaker 3>There sure are a lot of happy people flying out

92
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 3>of Logan, specifically for those who are not flying to

93
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Newark flights and Newark. I know, no, God, no, are

94
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 3>you flying to Newark? Fining chance, No, not anywhere but Newark.

95
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 3>That's the overall feeling here at Terminal B. This comes

96
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 3>after the New Jersey Airport faced its third technical problem

97
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 3>in two weeks this weekend. A telecommunications issue grounded flights

98
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 3>for forty five minutes. Now, official safe flights in and

99
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 3>out of Newark are going to be reduced over the

100
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 3>next few weeks to cut down on delays and cancelations

104
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.160

105
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.879
<v Speaker 2>third day of testimony. Sergeant Buchennick has been reading flirtatious

106
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 2>text messages hinting of a budding romance between Red and

107
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 2>ATF agent Brian Higgins, just as things started to go

108
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.720
<v Speaker 2>south in her relationship with Boston Police officer John O'Keefe.

109
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Buchenck also shared text messages sent by former trooper Michael Proctor,

110
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.639
<v Speaker 2>who has since been fired for those inappropriate texts. Buchanic

111
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 2>was also stripped of a week of vacation days and

112
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 2>an internal investigation that found he failed to properly oversee

113
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Proctor's behavior with this investigation while on the job. Opening

114
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>statements are expected today. In New York, the sex trafficking

118
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.920

120
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 5>and the first witnesses will testify, among them Combs's ex girlfriend,

121
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.839
<v Speaker 5>Cassie Ventura, one of the women federal prosecutors say was

122
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 5>coerced into drugged up sex marathons known as Freakouts. Allegations
