00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news seventy

2
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>two degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm

3
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. We take it at deadim

4
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>first to the Karen ready to read trial once again,

5
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 1>back to the defense asking the questions that of the

6
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Zasumba Friedman is here with the latest ema.

7
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Ben, we have moved on to the recross. But

8
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you about what happened just before, State Police

9
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Sergeant Eurie bu Kennick was on the stand unboxing evidence

10
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>found at thirty four Fair of You Road in Canton,

11
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan asking how each item revealed different

12
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 2>things about the investigation, leading Buchanic to make Karen read

13
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 2>the main suspect in John O'Keefe's death.

14
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.200
<v Speaker 3>Common sense will dictate that if an item is found

15
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 3>on the grass and there's snow covering it, that it

16
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 3>would be would have to have been placed prior to

17
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 3>the snow accumulating. If an item is shoved into the snow,

18
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 3>he will be exposed as the snow melts prior to

19
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 3>reaching the ground level.

20
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 2>You kind of held up red and clear tailight pieces

21
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>for the jury to see, along with the jeans O'Keefe

22
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>was wearing when he was found in the snow. While

23
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 2>he was retelling the events that took place. The judge

24
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 2>reminded jurors that he is just explaining his thinking and

25
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 2>that does not mean they are necessarily true. Now it's

26
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>back to Alan Jackson asking the questions for the recross

27
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Ben all right.

28
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>We continue to monitor developments in the trial in Denham

29
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 1>and we'll bring him to you here on WBC. We're

30
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 1>streaming for you on the iHeartRadio app. The mother of

31
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>released hostage Edon Alexander has spoken with her son for

32
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the first time since he was taken by Hamas. Yeah

33
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>El Alexander, telling her twenty one year old son, you

34
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>are strong, you are protected, you are home.

35
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 4>A photo of you and you look unbelievable.

36
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 1>Wow, you look beautiful. I know his so much. The

37
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>soldier was the last living American Israeli hostage in Gaza.

38
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Hamas released him today as a goodwill gesture towards the

39
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration. This deal could health lead to a new

40
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 1>cease fire with Israel. The Israeli military says e Don

41
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 1>had been taken in by Israeli forces had been taken

42
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>as he was serving with Israel, and it marks the

43
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>first hostage release since Israel broke its eight week ceasefire

44
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>with Hamas back in March. President Trump has signed an

45
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.199
<v Speaker 1>executive order aimed at slashing drug prices. As we hear

46
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>from CBS's Matt Piper.

47
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 5>President Trump says that drug makers do not lower prices

48
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 5>within the next month, he'll subject them to steep caps

49
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 5>on how much they can charge.

50
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 6>Pharmaceutical companies make more than two thirds of their profits

51
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 6>in America, so think of that. With four percent of

52
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 6>the population. The pharmaceutical companies make most of their money,

53
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 6>most of their profits from America. That's not a good thing.

54
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 5>He says. Some prices maybe up to ninety percent lower,

55
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 5>and if not, they'll use the power of the total

56
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 5>government to ensure the US pays the same price as

57
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 5>other countries. Matt Piper, CBS News.

58
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 1>Some changes are coming to things like sports strengths and

59
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>breakfast cereals. Color changes more like how they're color. The

60
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>registers published a new list of approved food color additives.

61
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 7>This Food and Drug Administration is already signed off on

62
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 7>the change, and now says FDA Commissioner Marty Mcarey.

63
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>We are simply asking American food companies to remove these

64
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>petroleum based food colorings and replace them with natural ingredients.

65
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 7>The new blue food coloring comes from algae and butterfly

66
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 7>peaflower extract. A white color comes from calcium phosphate jimmering

67
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 7>in ABC News.

68
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:27.479
<v Speaker 1>As we headed to the evening, we'll have clai to

69
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>partly cloudy. Skies will be mainly the mid fifties in

70
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Boston and near the coast, but as you head inland,

71
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 1>we may drop back into the forties in some of

72
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the chillier spots. The sun fades behind increasing clouds. Tomorrow,

73
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>there'll be a breeze around and temperatures struggle to get

74
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>much beyond sixty in Boston and near the coast, but

75
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into the low seventies well inland, turning out

76
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 1>mostly cloudy Tomorrow night, temperatures within a few degrees of fifty,

77
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 1>and then rather cloudy on Wednesday, sixty four for the

78
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 1>high in the city, low seventies again well inland, and

79
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 1>then Thursday in the sixties with mainly cloudy skies and

80
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 1>a couple of shower. We're at seventy two. Right now

81
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:06.039
<v Speaker 1>in Boston, a wallfam woman volunteers by knitting prosthetics to

82
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>help women who've had breast cancer surgery feel more comfortable.

83
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>WBS Sherry Small with the story.

84
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 4>After I get fifteen on the knitting needle, I just

85
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.920
<v Speaker 4>divide it between three needles.

86
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 8>Mary McCusker of Waltham is showing me how she knits

87
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.079
<v Speaker 8>a pair of knitted knockers.

88
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:29.439
<v Speaker 4>Women who have had mastectomies oftentimes find the silicone prosthetics

89
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:30.680
<v Speaker 4>just really uncomfortable.

90
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 8>The nonprofit Knitted Knockers is based out of Oregon, but

91
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 8>its mission has gone global.

92
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there are people making them all over the world.

93
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 4>There in I demand.

94
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 8>The soft and very light knitted or crocheted prosthetics are

95
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 8>given to women who want them for free. Mary learned

96
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 8>about them when her friend was diagnosed with breast cancer.

97
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 4>The surgeon was discussing reconstruction versus not bothering, and she

98
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 4>kind of laughingly said, you could always choose to get

99
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 4>a knitted knocker.

100
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.720
<v Speaker 8>Mary's been knitting them ever since. There's a need for

101
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 8>more volunteers to help fill the demand. In Waltham's Sherry Small,

<v Speaker 8>WBC Boston's News Radio.

103
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Celtics look to tie up their playoff series with the

104
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Knicks tonight. The Green got to win Saturday and now

105
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>another game in New York after the Celtics lost the

106
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>first two games of the series in Boston last week.

107
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Is the confidence back for fans? W The Bus's Jim

108
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>McKay went to find out outside the garden. I think

109
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>we're coming back a little stronger. We had a little

110
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 1>bit more depth.

111
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 9>They look absolutely incredible and hopefully they can get the

112
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 9>job done. Celtics fans remaining positive and are hoping the

113
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 9>switch was flipped on Saturday as they look to tie

114
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.800
<v Speaker 9>up this series tonight before they head back home here

115
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 9>to Cosway Street for Game five later on Wednesday.

116
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 1>So it's been a big rivalry and I like our chances.

117
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 1>I think we have have a good chance of taking

118
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>it all.

119
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 9>The Green got a big boost off the bench from

120
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 9>NBA six Man of the Year Peyton Pritchard on Saturday.

121
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 9>But Celtics fans know the Jays are the leaders of

122
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:50.600
<v Speaker 9>this team.

123
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Jase Tatum and Jaylen Browlyn have been playing well.

124
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 9>So Game four tonight, if the Celtics win, it becomes

125
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 9>a best of three.

126
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Looking good I think, I think We're going to be all.

127
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 9>Right outside the yarden. Jim McKay WVZ, Boston's News Radio.
