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

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>We defining local news thirty eight degrees see in Boston

3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.000
<v Speaker 2>at four o'clock. Good afternoon, I'm Ben Parkner. Here's what's happening.

4
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Day two of jury selection in Denham at Karen Reid's

5
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.519
<v Speaker 2>murder reed trial. Yesterday, the first two jurors were seated.

6
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Two more were seated today, according to the CBS News Boston.

7
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 2>In all, seventeen jurors are needed. Reid faces charges of

8
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>second degree murder, manslaughter while operating under the influence of alcohol,

9
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>and leaving the scene of personal injury and death. Her

10
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>first trial ended at a mistrial with a hung jury.

11
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.600
<v Speaker 2>President Trump soon expected to announce a sweeping new round

12
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 2>of terriffs.

13
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 3>Trump is set to unveil his plan for another round

14
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 3>of tariffs. He'll speak this afternoon in the Rose Garden,

15
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 3>but so far the White House hasn't revealed any details

16
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 3>of what he's going to announce. The President has said

17
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.039
<v Speaker 3>for weeks the so called reciprocal tariffs are aimed at

18
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 3>balancing trade deficits the US has with countries around the world,

19
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 3>but economists are warning that American consumers will feel an impact.

20
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 3>Prices going up on cars, clothing, food, and electronics. The

21
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 3>White House says Americans should trust the president in how

22
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 3>he handled trade and tariff policies in his first term.

23
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 3>Karen Travers, ABC News the White.

24
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>House President Trump has called today Liberation Day to overseas

25
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 2>trading partners. Though it feels anything.

26
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.879
<v Speaker 4>But I'm Vicky Barker at the Foreign desk in London.

27
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 4>European Central Bank President Christine Lagard warns that Trump's tariffs

28
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 4>quote will unsettle the trade world as we know it.

29
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 4>Germany has repeated its plea that trade wars hurt both sides,

30
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 4>and the EU has warned it plans to respond in

31
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 4>kind to any new tariffs before the end of April.

32
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 4>Vicky Barker, CBS News, London case dismissed.

33
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 2>The case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams for

34
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 2>corruption gets thrown out.

35
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 5>Federal judge dismisses the corruption case against New York City

36
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 5>Mayor Eric Adams. Judge Daleo granting the Justice Department's extraordinary

37
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.760
<v Speaker 5>request to set us up criminal charges so the mayor

38
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 5>could aid President Trump's immigration crackdown, but the judge denied

39
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 5>prosecutors the ability to potentially bring the criminal case back

40
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 5>after the mayoral election. The order to dismiss the case

41
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 5>with prejudice spares Adams from having to govern in a

42
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 5>way that pleases Trump or potentially risk having the charges revived.

43
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 5>The Justice Departments pushed to and the case caused a

44
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 5>rift between its leadership in Washington and prosecutors in New York,

45
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 5>who resigned. Adams had pled not guilty to the charges,

46
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 5>including bribery Julie Walker, New York.

47
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>The City of Cambridge's upping fees for its electric vehicle

48
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>charging stations beginning April fifteenth, City owned charging stations will

49
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 2>be nine cents more per kilowatt hour. The city has

50
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 2>forty public charging ports and says the fee increases reflect

51
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>rising electricity rates. The city says its goal is to

52
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 2>reach one hundred public charging ports by twenty twenty seven.

53
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>A bit of a colorful radar. We look at the

54
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>ACCU weather radar this afternoon. It's not here though. Here

55
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 2>it's just nothing. The reds and the yellows, and the

56
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>greens and the blues and the pinks all out into

57
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.439
<v Speaker 2>New York State and into Pennsylvania. That is our rain,

58
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>and even some mixed precipitation that'll be heading our way

59
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 2>as we head through the evening tonight and certainly overnight,

60
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.479
<v Speaker 2>so we'll have clouds building in and then the rain

61
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>gets in here later tonight overnight could mix with some

62
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>snow and sleep at least for a time, especially north

63
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 2>and west of the city. Even a bigger concern up

64
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>into parts in New Hampshire where there is a winter

65
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>weather advisory posted starting at eight o'clock tonight. Slick roads

66
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 2>certainly a possibility wherever some of the sleet or snow

67
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>does mix in, but it'll be short lived because by

68
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 2>the time we get to tomorrow, we'll be seeing temperatures rise,

69
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>eventually landing in the low sixties with the rain and

70
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 2>drizzle in the morning and clouds around in the afternoon.

71
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow night, some showers may pop back up fifty three

72
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>for the low tomorrow night, and then back into the

73
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>sixties on Friday. We'll have clouds early, but we'll break

74
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 2>for some sunshine in a pretty decent day for opening

75
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>day at Fenway Park thirty eighth right now in Boston

76
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.479
<v Speaker 2>at Fenway Park, speak of it the Cruz they're working

77
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 2>to put all the finishing touches in place ahead of

78
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Friday's opening Day in wbz's Kyle Bray takes a look

79
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:18.800

80
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 6>First pitch on Friday isn't until two ten, but the

81
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 6>party gets started a lot earlier. The team is encouraging

82
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 6>fans to be in their seats by one thirty for

83
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 6>the usual home opener pomp and circumstance, but there will

84
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 6>be some special guests there as well. Chief Experience Officer

85
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 6>Sarah McKenna says the Treble All Stars from Boston Arts

86
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 6>Academy will be there to sing.

87
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 7>The anthem will be sung by just some kids from

88
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 7>across the street from Boston Arts Academy, some high school students,

89
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 7>extremely talented kids over there that are just doing wonderful

90
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:47.680
<v Speaker 7>things in the Boston school system.

91
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 6>After that, there will be a flyover with fighter jets

92
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 6>in a refueling plane, but the main event will be

93
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 6>a tribute to the nineteen seventy five Pennant winning Red

94
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.879
<v Speaker 6>Sox team. Members of the team will be there to

98
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 2>A local investor strikes hit big I should say, an

99
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 2>inventor gets some investors and then strikes hit big. It's

100
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>a do hickey that helps feed a flock of chickens.

101
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.639
<v Speaker 2>BBC style shaffle with more on what brought him there.

102
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 6>Ah, man, my heart was in my stomach.

103
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, right before the doors opened, I was standing

104
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 3>mind the doors there thinking about that song from Eminem

105
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 3>Lose Yourself.

106
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.879
<v Speaker 1>But Westbridgewater local Eric Didrickson wasn't about to throw down

107
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 1>a sick freestyle. He was on Shark Tank pitching famous

108
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>business personalities on the passion project that's become his life,

109
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>a new way to feed chickens. I gotta tell you

110
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty crazy.

111
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 4>I mean, when those doors open, you only you only

112
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 4>get one take.

113
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Most of the sharks were out pretty much instantly, but

114
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Damon John bought in three hundred grand for a twenty

115
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>percent steak in riverbend resources. Since the show aired, Eric says,

116
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 1>there was a huge boom in sales.

117
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, my initial envision was, you know, essentially just

118
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 2>this product, a chicken feeder, a better chicken feeder, and

119
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 2>now it's kind of like evolving into this like poultry company.

120
00:05:59.439 --> 00:05:59.759
<v Speaker 2>He says.
