00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. Things are relatively calm outside

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon. Heavy rainbow this morning anything but calm. Flooding

5
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:24.839
<v Speaker 1>on nine ninety three and local roads across the South

00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Shore caused closures as well as heavy backups. Some computers

7
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 1>even caught in the water.

8
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 2>The drivers of those flooded cars sat inside of their

9
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 2>vehicles for hours waiting for the water to recede and

10
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:40.479
<v Speaker 2>for tow trucks to arrive, and.

11
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.799

15
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Officials telling people all over the map don't try to

16
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 3>drive through flooded out roads. Your car cannot do what

17
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 3>you think it can in most cases, you don't want

18
00:00:58.600 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 3>to total your car or worse.

19
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Flood watch for the eastern part of the state is

20
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.799

21
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.280

22
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>little leftover rain here now south of Boston and over

23
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the Cape and Islands will catch you up on traffic

24
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 1>and weather together in a couple of minutes. The White

25
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 1>House is slamming a New Hampshire judges ruling blocking President

26
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump's executive order against birthright citizenship.

27
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 6>The White House is calling this decision quote an obvious

28
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 6>and unlawful attempt to circumvent the Supreme Court's clear order

29
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 6>against universal relief. Spokesers and Harrison Fields as in a statement,

30
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 6>the Administration will be quote fighting vigorously against attempts by

31
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 6>district court judges to try to impede the President's policies.

32
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.760
<v Speaker 6>The judge in New Hampshire Thursday certified a challenge by

33
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 6>the American Civil Liberties Union filed on behalf of pregnant

34
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 6>immigrants to immigrant parents and their infants. Karen Travers, ABC News,

00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Place Study and activists Smuckmood Khalil is seeking twenty million

37
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.599
<v Speaker 1>dollars in damages from the Trump administration weeks after being

38
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.439
<v Speaker 1>freed from immigration detention. His lawyers claim he was falsely imprisoned,

39
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 1>maliciously prosecuted, and smeared as anti Semitic. Khalil was detained

40
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 1>for over three months after being arrested by ICE agents

41
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>in March while he was a student at Columbia. The

42
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>administration accused him of pro terrorist activity. Khalil says he

43
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>suffered harsh conditions and jail and continues to fear for

44
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>his safety. Much of the t's busiest line getting ready

45
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.879

69
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Some earlier precipitation over the vineyards slid off, though there

70
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 1>could be some more shortly, and there could be some

71
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 1>showers for some of us as we head through the

<v Speaker 1>evening tonight, just some scattered leftover showers with some scattered

73
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 1>leftover clouds. Stemperatures in the mid sixties. Tomorrow we're better.

74
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 1>We have clouds breaking for some sun in the afternoon.

75
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>It'll be humid, temperatures not seventy six in Boston, low

76
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>eighties well Inland, and we could fire off a thundershower

77
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>well inland as well, partly cloudy, muggy. Tomorrow night a

78
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>low sixty six, and then the weekend's looking pretty good.

79
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>It'll be humid, clouds, some sun, Temperatures mid seventies or

80
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 1>so near the coast, mid eighties or so inland. Right

81
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 1>now sixty five degrees in Boston. A familiar but rare

82
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 1>foe slithering into Addleborough. Wbz's Jared Broston with the tails.

83
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Officials in Addleborough or warning residents about what they believe

84
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.439
<v Speaker 3>is a copperhead snake after two dogs were bitten by

85
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:33.360
<v Speaker 3>the ten Mile River.

86
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 4>People often confuse milk snakes with copperheads. Milksnakes are a

87
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 4>lot more common.

88
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 3>That's Jacob Wolf at the Blue Hills Trail Side Museum

89
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 3>here in Milton, which has a copperheaded snake that they

90
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 3>take care of. He says the pattern is what typically

91
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 3>confuses people, as they can look similar, but unlike milk snakes,

92
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 3>copperheads are venomous.

93
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 4>Definitely steer clear, don't try to poke it or anything.

94
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 4>You know, they mostly are wary of people, so they're

95
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 4>not going to be going after people.

96
00:04:58.439 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>You know.

97
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.240
<v Speaker 4>They eat a lot of small.

98
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 3>But for the animal enthusiasts out there, beware of getting close.

99
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you can take a picture from Afar, but

100
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 4>just you know, keep your distance.

102
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get this straight. Don't poke the bear

103
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and don't poke the snake. Good advice. It's the most

104
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 1>anyone has ever paid for a handbag. ABC Cherry Preston

109
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.639

110
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.879
<v Speaker 5>She asked why Burkin didn't make a bigger bag, So

111
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 5>they grabbed an air sickness bag and began sketching a

112
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 5>design for what would become the original Birkin bag. More

113
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.439
