Speaker 1: war and insas tariffs on US exports to one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five percent, and this morning, officials in Beijing
Speaker 1: say any further levies by the United States would be
Speaker 1: seen as a joke around the world. This comes after
Speaker 1: the President raises the US taxes to one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty five percent.
Speaker 2: You know, we have to have a deal that we like.
Speaker 2: We don't want a deal that's going to be a
Speaker 2: bad deal. Or I could make every deal in one day.
Speaker 2: If I wanted to do this in all in one day,
Speaker 2: I could just say, is what we'll do.
Speaker 1: While the White House maintains dozens of other countries around
Speaker 1: the world are lining up to cut deals with the President,
Speaker 1: he also says China would love to but doesn't know
Speaker 1: how to go about it, and therefore Wall Street chaos continues.
Speaker 1: A collision on the taxiway at Reagan National Airport, outside
Speaker 1: the nation's capital, two American Airlines flights come into contact.
Speaker 1: One of the planes carries several members of Congress on
Speaker 1: their way back to New York and New Jersey this weekend.
Speaker 1: The other flight off to South Carolina. No injuries in
Speaker 1: either plane reported. One of the crew members says he
Speaker 1: has never been involved in anything quite like this. Both
Speaker 1: planes have since been taken out of commission. It is
Speaker 1: too soon to tell this morning what caused. A touris
Speaker 1: telicopter in New York City to seemingly break apart in
Speaker 1: mid air and then splash down in the Hudson River,
Speaker 1: killing the pilot and five travelers. Officials say Energy Technology

Speaker 3: Justin Rose last week on the tour show.

Speaker 1: right into the woods.
Speaker 3: Last week the game was not there.
Speaker 1: I've been there.
Speaker 3: He currently leads the Masters by three after round one.
Speaker 1: Joe, I have not been there as a patron or
Speaker 1: a player, and I likely never will be.
Speaker 3: Bad golf shots happened to.
Speaker 1: Everybody, Thank you. Drew. Lawns and Greater Boston may look
Speaker 1: like a Celtics jersey this morning. It's certainly green underneath
Speaker 1: and white on top. Snow this morning and beyond it's
Speaker 1: coming down at this moment. We're also seeing some rainfall
Speaker 1: mixed in as well. So this, as you probably likely realize,
Speaker 1: is not going to amount to much. But it's just
Speaker 1: the thought of snow in April and now approaching mid April,
Speaker 1: that is getting a very old act here in the city.
Speaker 1: Or expect to see rain throughout the day today, temperatures
Speaker 1: will only be in the mid forties. We're at thirty
Speaker 1: six right now in Boston. It is going to be
Speaker 1: a terrible kickoff to the weekend tomorrow, and it looks
Speaker 1: like we'll be dealing with windswept rain from time to
Speaker 1: time throughout. It's going to be cold too. Highs tomorrow
Speaker 1: only in the upper thirties to low forties. Really not
Speaker 1: much better on Sunday. But wouldn't you know it, as
Speaker 1: we turn the page in a new work week, we're
Speaker 1: going to see some sunshine returning on Monday, and we
Speaker 1: shoot for sixty degrees by then. Right now, it's thirty six.
Speaker 1: Some snowflakes mixing in with the rain drops this morning,
Speaker 1: six oh five, this Friday morning. Health and Human Services
Speaker 1: Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior says his agency will reveal
Speaker 1: a cause of autism by September.
Speaker 4: Speaking at a cabinet meeting, the Health Secretary said, the
Speaker 4: number of kids with autism they're going up again, and
Speaker 4: so US health authorities are now conducting a large scale
Speaker 4: study to find out why.
Speaker 5: It's going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world.
Speaker 4: He says, by September, we will know the cause. He
Speaker 4: has a law claimed without evidence that vaccines cause autism.
Speaker 4: Stacy Lynn, CBS News Washington.
Speaker 1: President Trump spends a good chunk of his Friday at
Speaker 1: Walter Reed Medical Center Today it's time for the forty
Speaker 1: seventh president's annual physical. The seventy eight year old, the
Speaker 1: oldest president to start a second term in office, says
Speaker 1: he's never felt better. It's likely we won't know much
Speaker 1: about the results of this appointment. The White House is
Speaker 1: notorious for keeping lips zipped during his first term, while
Speaker 1: doctors claimed he was the healthiest individual ever elected to
Speaker 1: the Oval office. Doctors do remind us, too, that medical
Speaker 1: records are privates well. He once promised two trillion dollars
Speaker 1: in savings on the campaign trail, then cut it in half.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk says DOGE is now on track to save
Speaker 1: just one hundred and fifty billion dollars of the government's
Speaker 1: money this year. The comments come during a televised cabinet
Speaker 1: meeting at the White House. Democrats have launched an effort
Speaker 1: to permanently sideline Musk from his daily role at DOGE
Speaker 1: by the end of next month. And two great tastes
Speaker 1: that taste great together can now be yours if the
Speaker 1: price is right.
Speaker 5: If you have a sweet tooth that just won't quit,
Speaker 5: or hankering for something fried and oil, it's the best
Speaker 5: of both worlds.
Speaker 6: See maple bacon with the bacon jam just like does something.
Speaker 6: It's not overly sweet savory, it's cheesy. Oh, it was
Speaker 6: really really yummy.
Speaker 5: That's Crystal Lia trenta operations manager for Union Square Donuts.
Speaker 5: She says Boston Burger Company came to them with an
Speaker 5: idea to combine donuts and burgers.
Speaker 6: And they really wanted to do a concept that was
Speaker 6: all smash burgers, like keeping it simple, giving people what
Speaker 6: they love, and they approached us because we had some
Speaker 6: extra space in our Brookline location.
Speaker 5: The Smashed Up burgers include a maple bacon Donuts smash
Speaker 5: and a hot honey glazed chicken sandwich. So imagine a
Speaker 5: chicken sandwich, but instead of on a bun, it's on
Speaker 5: a donut.
Speaker 6: This will be here for at least the month, maybe longer.
