00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news fifty

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>four degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon, I'm

3
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:17.559
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. The Karen Reid retrial is

4
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.559
<v Speaker 1>over for the day at Norfolk Superior Court in Denham. Today,

5
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.079
<v Speaker 1>the jury heard from a number of witnesses, including multiple

6
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>police officers. Massachusetts State Police trooper Kevin O'Hara the last

7
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.879
<v Speaker 1>to testify. His team searched for evidence at the scene

8
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>where John o'keef's body was found during redirect. He told

9
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.759
<v Speaker 1>the prosecution there were concerns because of the weather.

10
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 2>How much of your focus is near the street area?

11
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Only ninety nine percent of it, sir. As soon as

12
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>we got to the grass and realized we couldn't.

13
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.520
<v Speaker 3>Clear it properly, my main focus was on that street,

14
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 3>just again because I was concerned about the plow coming

15
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 3>through it a later time.

16
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>You're worried that if you.

17
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 4>Didn't finish the street there could be some impact from plowing.

18
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Ah, yes, sir. Meantime, during cross examination, the defense asked

19
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>why the scene was not secured or taped off off.

20
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>O'Hara said they would be able to tell if the

21
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.079
<v Speaker 1>scene was disturbed, because fresh snow at the scene would

22
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 1>have also been disturbed. Developments this afternoon as the US

23
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Courts as a ban on transgender service members can

24
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>begin at the Pentagon.

25
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.959
<v Speaker 5>The decision for now sets aside a lower court's order

26
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.000
<v Speaker 5>that blocked the transgender ban from taking effect. It means

27
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 5>the military can begin discharging transgender service members while the

28
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 5>case plays out. The Trump administration argues it is owed

29
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 5>substantial deference when it comes to how it runs the military.

30
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 5>The court's three liberals said they would have left in

31
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 5>place the order of a federal judge and Tacoma, Washington,

32
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 5>who said the ban was unsupported, dramatic, and unfairly exclusionary.

33
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>That is ABC Stephen Portnoy no immediate decision today after

34
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>attorneys for the federal government and Tuff's grad student Ramesa Ozturk,

35
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>went before the Second US Circuit Court of Appeals this

36
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 1>morning in New York. Os Turk was arrested by ice

37
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>agents in Somerville in March. First, she went to Vermont,

38
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 1>then to Louisiana. After a federal judge in Vermont ordered

39
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>her returned there, The government appeace Ill then the case

40
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 1>hit the three judge panel in Manhattan today. President Trump

41
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White

42
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>House today, discussing what the President calls some tough points.

43
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Trade is one of those tough points, especially since President

44
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Trump imposed twenty five percent tariffs on cars made in Canada.

45
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 1>We want to make our own cars.

46
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>We don't really want cars from Canada. The other tough

47
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>point the President's comments about making Canada the fifty first state.

48
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 5>There are tremendous benefits to the Canadian citizens, tremendously lower taxes,

49
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 5>free military.

50
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Trump pushed the issue even further.

51
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Never say never, Never say never.

52
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, Canadian Prime Minister Carney did seem to say never.

53
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 3>As you know from real estate, there are some places

54
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 3>that are never for sale.

56
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 1>A year after Stewart health Care is bankruptcy filing, Massachusetts

57
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey are writing the Justice

58
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.919
<v Speaker 1>Department and Securities and Exchange Commission calling for accountability for

59
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.599
<v Speaker 1>Ralph Delatoria and other Stewart and Medical Properties Trust executives.

60
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>The senators say the ex engaged in years of unusual deals.

61
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Stewart declared bankruptcy. May sixth of last year, two hospitals

62
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 1>in Massachusetts closed in the Senators in a letter to

63
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General, Pambondi wrote, as evidenced to buy the unanimous

64
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>contempt to referral, the Senate believes this matter is serious,

65
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 1>meriting a criminal investigation by the Department. And they go

66
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 1>on to say we urged DOJ to give appropriate weight

67
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 1>and consideration to the bipartisan and unanimous nature of the referral.

68
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>In Lea Cloudy Skies, as we head through the remainder

69
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>of the afternoon, a couple of showers could get into

70
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>the Boston area early on. What we're watching right now

71
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 1>is some heavier rain that is pushing into southern Worcester County.

72
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>A lot of this has come up through Connecticut, skirted

73
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>over to Rhode Island, and now it's lifting off to

74
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>the north, so getting close to Worcester. Now we've got

75
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 1>some more rain out toward the Quabbin Reservoir area, Belcher

76
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Town and where getting a little bit of rain. And

77
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 1>there's more rain pushing up through southern Rhode Island and

78
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>southern Connecticut, and that may have enough for Umpho off

79
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to the east to get into the Boston area later on,

80
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 1>so rain around at least through the evening, temperatures mid fifties,

81
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>areas of fog, and then tomorrow some clouds with breaks

82
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of sunshine, a little breezy in an afternoon thunder shower.

83
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Temperatures near seventy. Thursday, some showers possible, also some sun possible.

84
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Temperatures near seventy. Doesn't look like much of a day.

85
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 1>On Friday. We'll have clouds, it'll be breezy, it'll be

86
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 1>chilly in the low fifties. It'll feel with the real

87
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>fields and that breeze like it's in the mid thirties

88
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 1>to near forty. Right now fifty four degrees in Boston.

89
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>It's been twenty plus years since the nationwide real ID

90
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 1>idea was born. Now just a day to implementation.

91
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 4>Because the paperwork for the so called real ID must

92
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 4>be completed in person.

93
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>It's been real busy. I've never seen it busy like

94
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 1>this before.

95
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 4>State driver's license offices have been crowded with applicants. But

96
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 4>what's the rush? Matthew Boudreau of the Louisiana Office of

97
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 4>Motor Vehicles says, if.

98
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 3>You're not gonna fly between now and let's say the fall,

99
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 3>they have plenty of time to come in.

100
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 4>And you can still travel without the real ID card

101
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.639
<v Speaker 4>as long as you have a valid passport or military identification.

102
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 4>Jim Ryan, ABC News.

103
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Homeland Security is telling travelers who aren't

104
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 1>real ID compliant they will still be able to fly,

105
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>but should be prepared for extra scrutiny. Christy Noome telling

106
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a congressional panel eighty one percent of travelers already have

107
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.319
<v Speaker 1>IDs that comply with real ID. She says security checkpoints

108
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>will be accepting those passports along with tribal identification when

109
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the deadline hits tomorrow, but says those who still lack

110
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>identification that complies with real ID may be diverted to

111
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 1>different lines to have extra steps, but they'll still be

112
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 1>allowed to fly. This is not a test, in fact,

113
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 1>it's the real thing, all right. It's a real test.

114
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>SAT season is here, and the College Board says nearly

115
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 1>two million graduating high schoolers took on the exam last year.

116
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>He use, He's Jeremy Russ. This year set out to

117
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 1>see what it's like.

118
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 3>The last time I took the SATs, I was seventeen

119
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.680
<v Speaker 3>years old, and my score got me into Boston University.

120
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Since then, six years of on by, I've earned a

121
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 3>college degree and I even landed a job in my field.

122
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 3>So I took a practice sat to see if I'm

123
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 3>still as smart as I was all those years ago.

124
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Long story short, I didn't do as well as I

125
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 3>did when I was seventeen, and the college board says

126
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.040
<v Speaker 3>my score might not even be good enough for my

127
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 3>alma mater.

128
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 1>So what are the.

129
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 3>Keys to success? I asked around and kept getting a

130
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 3>similar answer. I think a lot of it is less

131
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 3>about your intrinsic capability and more about what you're willing

132
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 3>to put into the preparation aspect of of it. And

133
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 3>don't forget a fully charged testing device. It's all online now,

134
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 3>after all. Good luck to everyone taking the SATs. Jeremy
