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

2
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:14.560
<v Speaker 2>A rainy Saturday afternoon in Boston. It's forty two degrees

3
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 2>at four o'clock. Good afternoon, and let's start this hour

<v Speaker 2>downtown where Mayor Michelle wou just made a big announcement.

5
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I am so proud to stand before you as we

6
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 3>launch officially our reelection campaign.

7
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.399
<v Speaker 2>Speaking in the South End, the mayor pitched a fights

8
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:33.600
<v Speaker 2>against the White House.

9
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 3>We face serious challenges in this moment, and now is

10
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.439
<v Speaker 3>not the time for a mayor who needs on the

11
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:41.240
<v Speaker 3>job training.

12
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.280

<v Speaker 2>main opponent so far being philanthropist and billionaire Josh Kraft.

14
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Huge crowds gathered downtown this afternoon in a protest aimed

15
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 2>at the White House. Wbz's Mike Macklin in the crowds.

16
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.280

<v Speaker 4>cities across the nation demonstrated in opposition to President Donald

18
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 4>Trump and billionaire Elon Musk. This isn't a Democrat issue,

19
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 4>this is an American issue.

20
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>It's for all of us to stand up.

21
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 4>Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll addressed the crowd on Boston Common.

22
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Government works best when we have checks and balances, when

23
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>we have a Congress that actually.

24
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Is really going to check the power of the most

25
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>powerful person in America.

26
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 5>That's how it's supposed to work.

27
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 4>On City Hall Plaza, Mayor Michelle wou drove home the

28
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 4>message that she delivered to a Republican led Congressional committee

29
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 4>in Washington.

30
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Boston has never and will never back down to Bullie.

31
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 3>This is our city and.

36
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>on all goods coming into the country. It was an

37
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 2>absolute meltdown to end the week on Wall Street.

38
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 5>The Dow plummeted more than two thousand, two hundred points.

39
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 5>The S and P five hundred, which we know is

40
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 5>tied to many people's retirement funds, slid more than three hundred,

41

46
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 2>That's ABC's Alexis Christophoris. President Trump has vowed the new

47
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.120
<v Speaker 2>taxes will lead to a renaissance for American manufacturing, but

48
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 2>that could take a while. We have more wet weather

49
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>coming up in the four day forecast. Rain at times Tonight,

50

<v Speaker 2>early in the day, lingering rain and drizzle. On Monday

55
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.800

56
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>and colder, forty two for the high. Then Tuesday a

00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>possible rain shower to start, maybe even mixing in with

58
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>some snow and some colder spots. Otherwise, clouds break for

59

63
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 2>of jury selection, and the Karen Reid retrial is now

64
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 2>in the books. And in South Boston, a judge heard

65
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>arguments around the buffer zone in Denham. Wbz's Charlie Bergeron has.

66
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>That supporters of Karen Reid claiming the buffer zone is

67
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 1>a violation of their First Amendment rights. Judge Beverly Canoni

68
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>says the presence of protesters outside the courthouse could influence jurors.

69
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.879
<v Speaker 1>The judge expanding the buffer zone, which regionally prohibited demonstrations

70
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>within two hundred feet at the courthouse during the last

71
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>year's trial. Attorney Mark Rendaza, representing some of the plaintiffs,

72
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 1>asking how a judge has the right to have any

73
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 1>say with what's happening outside the courthouse. Plaintiffs say the

74
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 1>buffer zone is so big now they can't get their

75
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>message across. The only people who see or hear them

76
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.879
<v Speaker 1>are residents in the neighborhood. Rendaza stating that there should

77
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 1>not even be a buffer zone, but its clients are

78
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 1>willing to compromise. No decision made it yesterday's hearing. Both

79
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 1>sides will continue to argue their case next Thursday, back

80
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>at the Federal courthouse. Charlie Burger on WBZ Boston's news radio.

00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 2>man versus Machine, a million dollar wager between a pro

84
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>gambler and an AI program will come down to the

85
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 2>Duke Houston game. Both gambler Sean Perry and the Site

<v Speaker 2>four s predictions have picked all final four teams correctly

87

88
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 2>of the tournament. Perry, the Human wants Duke's Blue Devils

89
