Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news seventy
Speaker 1: two degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm
Speaker 1: Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. We take it at deadim
Speaker 1: first to the Karen ready to read trial once again,
Speaker 1: back to the defense asking the questions that of the
Speaker 1: Zasumba Friedman is here with the latest ema.
Speaker 2: Yes, Ben, we have moved on to the recross. But
Speaker 2: I'll tell you about what happened just before, State Police
Speaker 2: Sergeant Eurie bu Kennick was on the stand unboxing evidence
Speaker 2: found at thirty four Fair of You Road in Canton,
Speaker 2: Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan asking how each item revealed different
Speaker 2: things about the investigation, leading Buchanic to make Karen read
Speaker 2: the main suspect in John O'Keefe's death.
Speaker 3: Common sense will dictate that if an item is found
Speaker 3: on the grass and there's snow covering it, that it
Speaker 3: would be would have to have been placed prior to
Speaker 3: the snow accumulating. If an item is shoved into the snow,
Speaker 3: he will be exposed as the snow melts prior to
Speaker 3: reaching the ground level.
Speaker 2: You kind of held up red and clear tailight pieces
Speaker 2: for the jury to see, along with the jeans O'Keefe
Speaker 2: was wearing when he was found in the snow. While
Speaker 2: he was retelling the events that took place. The judge
Speaker 2: reminded jurors that he is just explaining his thinking and
Speaker 2: that does not mean they are necessarily true. Now it's
Speaker 2: back to Alan Jackson asking the questions for the recross
Speaker 2: Ben all right.
Speaker 1: We continue to monitor developments in the trial in Denham
Speaker 1: and we'll bring him to you here on WBC. We're
Speaker 1: streaming for you on the iHeartRadio app. The mother of
Speaker 1: released hostage Edon Alexander has spoken with her son for
Speaker 1: the first time since he was taken by Hamas. Yeah
Speaker 1: El Alexander, telling her twenty one year old son, you
Speaker 1: are strong, you are protected, you are home.
Speaker 4: A photo of you and you look unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Wow, you look beautiful. I know his so much. The
Speaker 1: soldier was the last living American Israeli hostage in Gaza.
Speaker 1: Hamas released him today as a goodwill gesture towards the
Speaker 1: Trump administration. This deal could health lead to a new
Speaker 1: cease fire with Israel. The Israeli military says e Don
Speaker 1: had been taken in by Israeli forces had been taken
Speaker 1: as he was serving with Israel, and it marks the
Speaker 1: first hostage release since Israel broke its eight week ceasefire
Speaker 1: with Hamas back in March. President Trump has signed an
Speaker 1: executive order aimed at slashing drug prices. As we hear
Speaker 1: from CBS's Matt Piper.
Speaker 5: President Trump says that drug makers do not lower prices
Speaker 5: within the next month, he'll subject them to steep caps
Speaker 5: on how much they can charge.
Speaker 6: Pharmaceutical companies make more than two thirds of their profits
Speaker 6: in America, so think of that. With four percent of
Speaker 6: the population. The pharmaceutical companies make most of their money,
Speaker 6: most of their profits from America. That's not a good thing.
Speaker 5: He says. Some prices maybe up to ninety percent lower,
Speaker 5: and if not, they'll use the power of the total
Speaker 5: government to ensure the US pays the same price as
Speaker 5: other countries. Matt Piper, CBS News.
Speaker 1: Some changes are coming to things like sports strengths and
Speaker 1: breakfast cereals. Color changes more like how they're color. The
Speaker 1: registers published a new list of approved food color additives.
Speaker 7: This Food and Drug Administration is already signed off on
Speaker 7: the change, and now says FDA Commissioner Marty Mcarey.
Speaker 1: We are simply asking American food companies to remove these
Speaker 1: petroleum based food colorings and replace them with natural ingredients.
Speaker 7: The new blue food coloring comes from algae and butterfly
Speaker 7: peaflower extract. A white color comes from calcium phosphate jimmering
Speaker 7: in ABC News.
Speaker 1: As we headed to the evening, we'll have clai to
Speaker 1: partly cloudy. Skies will be mainly the mid fifties in
Speaker 1: Boston and near the coast, but as you head inland,
Speaker 1: we may drop back into the forties in some of
Speaker 1: the chillier spots. The sun fades behind increasing clouds. Tomorrow,
Speaker 1: there'll be a breeze around and temperatures struggle to get
Speaker 1: much beyond sixty in Boston and near the coast, but
Speaker 1: we'll get into the low seventies well inland, turning out
Speaker 1: mostly cloudy Tomorrow night, temperatures within a few degrees of fifty,
Speaker 1: and then rather cloudy on Wednesday, sixty four for the
Speaker 1: high in the city, low seventies again well inland, and
Speaker 1: then Thursday in the sixties with mainly cloudy skies and
Speaker 1: a couple of shower. We're at seventy two. Right now
Speaker 1: in Boston, a wallfam woman volunteers by knitting prosthetics to
Speaker 1: help women who've had breast cancer surgery feel more comfortable.
Speaker 1: WBS Sherry Small with the story.
Speaker 4: After I get fifteen on the knitting needle, I just
Speaker 4: divide it between three needles.
Speaker 8: Mary McCusker of Waltham is showing me how she knits
Speaker 8: a pair of knitted knockers.
Speaker 4: Women who have had mastectomies oftentimes find the silicone prosthetics
Speaker 4: just really uncomfortable.
Speaker 8: The nonprofit Knitted Knockers is based out of Oregon, but
Speaker 8: its mission has gone global.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are people making them all over the world.
Speaker 4: There in I demand.
Speaker 8: The soft and very light knitted or crocheted prosthetics are
Speaker 8: given to women who want them for free. Mary learned
Speaker 8: about them when her friend was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Speaker 4: The surgeon was discussing reconstruction versus not bothering, and she
Speaker 4: kind of laughingly said, you could always choose to get
Speaker 4: a knitted knocker.
Speaker 8: Mary's been knitting them ever since. There's a need for
Speaker 8: more volunteers to help fill the demand. In Waltham's Sherry Small,
Speaker 8: WBC Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 1: Celtics look to tie up their playoff series with the
Speaker 1: Knicks tonight. The Green got to win Saturday and now
Speaker 1: another game in New York after the Celtics lost the
Speaker 1: first two games of the series in Boston last week.
Speaker 1: Is the confidence back for fans? W The Bus's Jim
Speaker 1: McKay went to find out outside the garden. I think
Speaker 1: we're coming back a little stronger. We had a little
Speaker 1: bit more depth.
Speaker 9: They look absolutely incredible and hopefully they can get the
Speaker 9: job done. Celtics fans remaining positive and are hoping the
Speaker 9: switch was flipped on Saturday as they look to tie
Speaker 9: up this series tonight before they head back home here
Speaker 9: to Cosway Street for Game five later on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: So it's been a big rivalry and I like our chances.
Speaker 1: I think we have have a good chance of taking
Speaker 1: it all.
Speaker 9: The Green got a big boost off the bench from
Speaker 9: NBA six Man of the Year Peyton Pritchard on Saturday.
Speaker 9: But Celtics fans know the Jays are the leaders of
Speaker 9: this team.
Speaker 3: Jase Tatum and Jaylen Browlyn have been playing well.
Speaker 9: So Game four tonight, if the Celtics win, it becomes
