00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Sixty two degrees in Boston. We've got some clouds in

3
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 2>the city, showers just outside. Forecasts coming up in about

4
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>three minutes. It's eleven o'clock. Good morning. I'm Nicole Davis.

5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Here's what's happening the Karen Reid murder retrial. Officially in

6
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.359
<v Speaker 2>morning recess. The defense just finishing cross examining doctor Judson Welcher.

7
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 2>He's a crash expert for the Commonwealth. Redirect is next

8
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 2>after the break. Now, Welcher is expected to be the

9
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.240
<v Speaker 2>final witness for the prosecution before they rest their case.

10
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Then it is the defense's turned call witnesses. Another family

11
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 2>fight behind the scenes at Market Basket has led to

12
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>a massive shakeup at the popular supermarket chain. CEO Arthur T.

13
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>De Mullis and other employees, including his kids, have now

14
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>been put on paid leave by the market's board of directors.

15
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Board claims it has evidence Demulas was planning a work

16
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 3>stoppage and say they've struggled to get insight budgets, capital

17
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>expenditures and other items that require board approval. Those are

18
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.480
<v Speaker 3>things that we have tried for years to manage with him,

19
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 3>and it has been resistant. That's his sitting thing is.

20
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 3>A spokesperson for Demula says that board is made up

21
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:21.680
<v Speaker 3>of members appointed by his three sisters. A family feud

22
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.159
<v Speaker 3>a decade ago led to week's worth of protests by

23
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.319
<v Speaker 3>employees who left their posts to join the picket line.

24
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I just find it very hard to believe that anyone

25
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>would turn on him with the support he had from

26
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:33.879
<v Speaker 1>his employees, which saved the company.

27
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 3>A spokesperson for Demula says, since then, he's led the

28
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 3>company on a path that paid back the one point

29
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 3>six billion dollars in financing that purchased the company, adding

30
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 3>the notion that this board is going to conduct an

31
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 3>investigation as a farcical cover for a hostile takeover.

32
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 2>That report there from CBS News. Boston's Brandon Truett hearing

33
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 2>is underway right now in federal court over the Trump

34
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 2>Administration's attempt to stop Harvard from enrolling international students. Head

35
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>of this hearing, the administration reportedly gave Harvard thirty days

36
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.439
<v Speaker 2>to respond. That's according to The Boston Globe. At the

37
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.719
<v Speaker 2>hearing today, Harvard is asking for a preliminary injunction to

38
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>stop this and part of their argument is that they

39
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 2>weren't given any time to respond and defend themselves. The

40
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 2>White House is accusing Harvard of coordinating with the Chinese

41
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Communist Party and failing to protect students on campus from

42
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 2>anti Semitism. Harvard says it is all retaliation for the

43
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 2>school exercising its First Amendment rights and also developing this morning,

44
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 2>a federal court decision has stopped most of the President's

45
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>tariffs right in their tracks. But now the administration says

46
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>it's appealing. Here's ABC Stephen Portnit.

47
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 4>A response to the ruling, The administration is asking the

48
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.199
<v Speaker 4>three judge panel to pause its own order pending appeal,

49
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 4>saying that not doing so would cause a foreign policy

50
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 4>disaster scenario that it would destroy a carefully negotiated agreement

51
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 4>with China and shatter other talks still ongoing. The court

52
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 4>ruled late Wednesday that President Trump exceeded his authority by

53
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 4>invoking emergency powers that had never been used by a

54
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 4>president to impose global terraff.

55
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>The judges ruling coming after several lawsuits were filed by

56
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 2>a group of small businesses, and for the rest of

57
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>the afternoon, the occasional shower we can't quite rule that out,

58
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>but it looks like we're in a much better space

59
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>than we were even six seven hours ago. In the

60
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>middle of the morning commute, just a few heavy showers

61
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 2>passing over the Nantucket area and the vineyard parts of

62
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the Outer Cape South coast, you're seeing some rain and

63
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of very light rain making its way

64
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 2>through parts of Metro West coming into just south of Boston.

65
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>So again this afternoon, still unsettled. We have a temperature

66
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 2>about sixty two or so on the coast, sixty eight

67
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 2>if you're north and west. For tonight, cloudy with some

68
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>showers and spots alow in the mid fifties, clouds and sun.

69
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow to wrap up the work week, another shower too

70
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>is possible, high in the mid upper seventies, heavier study

71
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 2>or rain developing later at night. And yet again for

72
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>the twelfth or I think thirteenth weekend in a row,

73
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 2>we have a rainy Saturday, but it's not conceis enough

74
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>to be a nuisance though. Rain in the morning, with

75
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.159
<v Speaker 2>some afternoon showers and high in the mid sixties. We're

76
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.800
<v Speaker 2>at sixty four in Sudbury, sixty seven in Lowells, sixty

77
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 2>four in Brockton in Boston at eleven oh six, it

78
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 2>is cloudy and sixty three. No matter how full you

79
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.040
<v Speaker 2>might feel, getting up and getting exercise after eating could

80
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 2>lead to major health benefits.

81
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Accent works out seven days a week. Has someone who's diabetic.

82
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.879
<v Speaker 1>He knows how important it is to stay active.

83
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 2>That's the reason I keep my health good because I

84
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>have a keep my diabetes control.

85
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>He is the type of person a recent study out

86
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 1>of the University of Alabama focused on, with the research

87
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>suggesting a fifteen minute walk after eating could help keep

88
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 1>blood glucose levels and check and prevent spikes.

89
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good idea.

90
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Mark is also very active and sees other potential benefits.

91
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 1>A simple stroll helps with digestion and get your legs

92
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 1>moving and your heart popping. Meanwhile, I'm more of an

93
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.879
<v Speaker 1>eat and nap kind of person. But to each their own.

<v Speaker 2>Josh Kraft getting another fiscal boost as he runs for mayor.

96
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:14.240
<v Speaker 2>In Boston, Globe reporting the Your City, Your Future Pack

97
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>is now spending another million dollars to buy attack ads

98
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>against the incumbent Michelle Wu. The pack says overall, it

99
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>has spent about one hundred twenty five grands so far

100
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 2>directly supporting Craft and spent almost two and a half

101
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 2>million dollars on the attack against Wu. Earlier this week,

102
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.399
<v Speaker 2>Mayor Wu's campaign hit back against the spending being done

103
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 2>by Craft and the Pack, saying, quote Robert Craft's billionaire

104
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 2>friends and fellow Trump associates are trying to buy Josh

105
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 2>a job through these ads. Campaign goes on to say,

106
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>quote Bostonians now our city is not for sale. And

107
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk says his time with the White House the

108
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Trump administration has come to an end, sees Rachel Scott.

109
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 5>For months, Musk has been working to slash agencies as

110
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 5>a special government employee at tending to cut trillions in

111
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 5>federal spending, but facing resistance from the public, lawmakers, and

112
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.959
<v Speaker 5>members of Trump's cabinet. And in the last hours of

113
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.600
<v Speaker 5>working for the administration, Musk publicly breaking with the President

114
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.600
<v Speaker 5>on his massive spending bill, arguing it would undo their

115
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 5>own efforts to shrink the federal government.

116
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 2>And Musk recently signaled he would be shifting his focus

117
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 2>back to running his companies, including SpaceX and Tesla. You
