<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Seventy five degrees in Boston. We've got some beautiful puffy

3
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.480
<v Speaker 2>clouds out there. We'll get a look at the weekend

4
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>forecast coming up. I'm Nicole Davis. It's four o'clock and

5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.079
<v Speaker 2>here's what's happening. Testimony done for the day in the

6
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Karen Reid murder re trial. As WBZ Suzanne Sausville reports,

7
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.800
<v Speaker 2>forensic scientists from the State Police crime laber on the

8
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 2>stand and the judge ruled against the defense on new

9
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 2>evidence the state wants to introduce.

10
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Ashph Leer testified that pieces of plastic found at the

11
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 3>scene where John O'Keefe's body was found fit together to

12
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 3>form the tailite from Reid's suv However, she also told

13
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.479
<v Speaker 3>defense attorney David Gannetti that she could not speak to

14
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 3>the chain of custody of evidence from January twenty ninth

15
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 3>to March fourteenth, when the lab got the evidence.

16
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Do you know where Michael Practice stored this clothing during

17
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that six week period?

18
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 4>Now? Do you know how often he was alone with

19
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 4>access to the clothing during that six week period?

20
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 5>Off?

21
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.079
<v Speaker 3>Michael Proctor is the mass State Police trooper who led

22
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 3>the investigation who was fired for inappropriate behavior. Defense attorney

23
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Robert Alessi argued the trial would need to be delayed

24
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 3>four days if the prosecution were allowed to introduce a

25
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 3>new crash report that he said changes the timeline. Prosecutor

26
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Hank Brennan's is nothing.

27
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>In the reports that changes his heart as a timeline.

28
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 3>That's just an attempt to cause fair. The judge ruled

29
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 3>the new crash report can come in Suzanne so Osville WBZ,

30
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Boston's news radio.

31
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.439
<v Speaker 2>State labor officials say the Massachusetts unemployment rate rose last

32
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>month for the fourth straight month. The state's unemployment rate

33
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>was over four percent in April, which is slightly higher

34
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 2>than the national rate. Official say employees added about seventy

35
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred jobs in April, saying the job market remained

36
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>stable quote despite economic headwinds. They say the uptick is

37
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 2>due to more people entering the workforce and not more layoffs.

38
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>The first direct peace talks between Russia and Rane are done.

39
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>They wrapped up just a short time after they started.

40
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Fewer than two hours after Turkey's foreign minister opened the meeting.

41
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Of officials say the talks ended the Ukrainian officials as

42
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 1>a low level Russian team made new unacceptable demands for

43
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Kiev's forces to leave huge swaths of land earlier.

44
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 4>Real chance to take important steps toward ending this war

45
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 4>if only Putin had not been afraid to come to Turkya.

46
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky ripped of Vladimir Putin for nixing an

47
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>offer to meet face to face. As Putin was chairing

48
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>a national security meeting, President Trump was saying, they will

49
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 1>meet as soon as possible.

50
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 5>I think it's time for us to just do it.

51
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>The Kremlin suggests. Momentum for such a summit is growing.

52
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Saga Magani Washington.

53
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 2>And in New York. Singer Cassie Ventura has been finished

54
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>testifying in the sex trafficking trial of her ex boyfriend

55
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Sean Diddy Combs. She was being crossed examined today about

56
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>being attacked and beaten by Combs in a hotel back

57
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>in twenty sixteen, after which she texted him quote, I'm

58
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>not a rag doll. Combs is accused of drugging and

59
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 2>beating Ventura and others and forcing them to participate in

60
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 2>days long sex parties. The defense claims they were willing participants,

61
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>and while Combs was violent, he was not running any

62
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>sort of criminal enterprise. And for the weekend forecast, we

63
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 2>are looking pretty good today. For the rest of the

64
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>afternoon into the evening, there is a chance we could

65
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>see a couple of stray showers. We've got a low

66
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 2>close to sixty, and there is a bit of fog

67
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>developing tonight. For tomorrow, a couple of thunderstorms are possible

68
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>in the afternoon. So for yet another weekend, I think

69
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.680
<v Speaker 2>we're up to nine at this point. Cannot say it's

70
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be a totally dry Saturday, but that's okay.

71
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Most of the day will be okay, and we've got

72
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>a high year seventy. Partly cloudy tomorrow night, low near sixty, breezy,

73
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>not as humid on Sunday because yes, it has been

74
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 2>very sticky. We'll have a mix of sun and clouds

75
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday. A couple of showers cannot completely be ruled out,

76
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.120
<v Speaker 2>but again, most of the day should be good. I've

77
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 2>got a hine year seventy right now. It's seventy nine

78
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>in Norwood, where it's seventy eight and Methuin eighty two

79
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 2>in acton and in Boston right now at four five,

80
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 2>partly cloudy and seventy six degrees. Look, pull out all

81
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 2>the cliches you want. The winner go homes, the doer dies, whatever,

82
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 2>but they all count tonight at Madison Square Garden as

83
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.639
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics fight to stay alive, keep going.

84
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 5>Keep doing your thing.

85
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Let's go Celtics.

86
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I think we clothed it out on Monday.

87
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 5>You can't slow down the confidence of Celtics fans outside

88
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 5>the garden. You just heard John from Medford who's commuting

89
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.399
<v Speaker 5>to work and he's already looking forward to Game seven

90
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 5>on Monday night. Hold your horse's pal, We've still got

91
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 5>to get through Game six tonight.

92
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 1>They come to play.

93
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>In Game seven, they take care of it.

94
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 5>Everywhere I turn, fans are keeping the faith. Remember there's

95
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 5>no Jason Tatum. But in Game five the Celtics were

96
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 5>able to spread the scoring around with an impressive showing,

97
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 5>and they're hoping it can happen once again tonight at

98
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 5>Madison Square Garden.

99
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 1>We're taking this Tonight.

100
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 5>Tip off is at eight o'clock. If the Celtics are

101
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 5>able to get that win, it would be Game seven

102
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.959
<v Speaker 5>on Monday night. Here at the garden and then anything

103
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 5>can happen. Reporting from Cosway Street Jim McKay WBZ, Boston's

<v Speaker 5>News Radio.

105
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Republicans cannot seem to agree on the President's tax bill.

106
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 4>Several Republicans say the big Beautiful bill still needs work.

107
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 4>Five of them voted against advancing the measure in the

108
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.560
<v Speaker 4>House Budget Committee. South Carolina's Ralph Norman says it doesn't

109
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 4>cut enough.

<v Speaker 1>Kyle smoking mares.

111
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 4>Further complicating matters for House Speaker Mike Johnson. GOP moderates

112
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 4>opposed the bill, saying it doesn't do enough to restore

113
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 4>the state and local tax deduction. Facing a self imposed

114
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 4>Memorial Day deadline for passage in the House, Johnson will

115
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 4>need to achieve near unanimity in his conference to get

116
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 4>the measure into the Senate. Stephen Portnoy, ABC News Washington

117
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 4>and at four.

118
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 2>Seven, this just into the WBZ Newsroom. The Supreme Court

119
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 2>has now rejected a move by President Trump to quickly

120
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.319
<v Speaker 2>resume deportations of Venezuelans under a wartime law. In the

121
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 2>seven to two ruling, the justices said the government did

122
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>not give enough notice, and also that there were issues

123
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 2>with a lower court ruling. Now the administration has leaned

124
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>on the Alien Enemies Act to carry out its immigration

125
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 2>immigration crackdown, claiming the US has been invaded by undocumented immigrants.

126
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 2>So again, Supreme Court just a short time ago ruling

127
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 2>against President Trump and the Trump administration when it comes

128
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.000
<v Speaker 2>to deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. We'll get more

129
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 2>details on that coming up here in the news on WBZ.
