Speaker 1: in India. This is a Boeing seven eighty seven headed

Speaker 1: from Mike Love of the Beach Boys, as he is
Speaker 1: officially going to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame tonight, joining his cousin, the late Brian Wilson, the
Speaker 1: co founder of the group, who was inducted twenty five

Speaker 1: Today is the earliest sunrise in Boston. It arrived at
Speaker 1: five oh six. Sunrise will be the same time for
Speaker 1: the next week in one of springtime's last gaps as
Speaker 1: the season gives way to the summer solstice, which is
Speaker 1: a week from tomorrow. It's all in a run up,
Speaker 1: of course, to the longest day of the year, in
Speaker 1: the latest sunset of the year, which in Boston arrives
Speaker 1: on June twenty fourth. So let's review this morning. We've
Speaker 1: learned that stress can keep us up at night, and
Speaker 1: now we learn that stress actually wakes us up in
Speaker 1: the morning. Do we get any relief ever? Wbz's Drew
Speaker 1: moholland is here with the details of a new studying
Speaker 1: Good morning, Jeff.
Speaker 3: You know what else wakes me up in the morning?
Speaker 3: My dog. Yeah, it's really take it over. The bell
Speaker 3: happening pushing me out of the way, But new research
Speaker 3: finds there's no escape from life's pressures at school, work,
Speaker 3: even the news, and there's often a pit in our
Speaker 3: stomachs before our feet even hit the floor. It is
Speaker 3: called morning anxiety, though it's not a clinical diagnosis for many.
Speaker 3: Oh it's oh so real. Early birds feet on the
Speaker 3: stress warm in the morning, while night owls are consumed
Speaker 3: long after sundown.
Speaker 1: It is a very complex thing. Yeah, and it's happens
Speaker 1: pretty much. Let's just go with all day long. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all day got anxiety. The hits just keep on coming.
Speaker 1: Here we go, all right, truth, thank you. No, we're
Speaker 1: going to string together at least a couple of good
Speaker 1: days of weather here in Greater Boston. It's a nice
Speaker 1: sunrise Underway sixty seven already in the city. Feels like
Speaker 1: it's summertime, and it certainly will throughout the day today.
Speaker 1: There will be a breeze out of the southwest, which
Speaker 1: will keep us nice and toasty, but will attempt to
Speaker 1: cool us off throughout the day as temperatures are going
Speaker 1: to jump well into the eighties and perhaps very close
Speaker 1: to ninety degrees where you are. This sounds familiar. This
Speaker 1: happened one week ago, and the pattern continues. We're going
Speaker 1: to see this type of weather tomorrow, although it be
Speaker 1: slightly cooler in the mid seventies. We'll take it though
Speaker 1: a mix of sun and clouds. And once again, this
Speaker 1: will be the thirteenth consecutive weekend that we're going to
Speaker 1: be dealing with precipitation, and it looks like we'll see
Speaker 1: some rain and cool temperatures only in the sixties for
Speaker 1: Father's Day weekend. From start to finish, it looks like
Speaker 1: we could be dodging rain drops on both days as well.
Speaker 1: With that wind off the water, it'll keep temperatures in check.
Speaker 1: But right now it's simply stunning in Boston, sixty seven degrees.
Speaker 1: As we get ready on this Thursday morning, it is
Speaker 1: six oh five. The jury gets the day off as
Speaker 1: lawyers in the Karen Reid trial prep for their closing arguments.
Speaker 1: CBS News Boston's Christina Rex has been following this case
Speaker 1: and has more on a heated final day of testimony.
Speaker 4: Real tension came during an extended cross examination. We're prosecutor
Speaker 4: Hank Brennan tried to challenge doctor Renchler with other pieces
Speaker 4: of evidence like Okeef's hat or a broken drinking glass
Speaker 4: found in the snow.
Speaker 2: I guess you could somehow predict or have a possibility
Speaker 2: of almost anything happening. To say, someone could get hit
Speaker 2: by a car and do a couple of somersaults into
Speaker 2: the yard.
Speaker 1: You don't know the position of mister o'keith's arm that
Speaker 1: impact to you.
Speaker 2: Nobody knows that. I don't think his arm was even
Speaker 2: impacted by the car.
Speaker 4: So the way the defense rested was a little bit confusing,
Speaker 4: So let's just explain it quickly. The defense rested its case.
Speaker 4: No more witnesses than the judges and lawyer will meet
Speaker 4: without the jury to discuss jury instructions.
Speaker 2: Then on Friday we'll.
Speaker 1: Hear closing arguments. And with that schedule, it is entirely
Speaker 1: possible the jury gets the case by this weekend. And
Speaker 1: remember when a verdict is reached in the Karen Reid
Speaker 1: Child WBZ News Radio will carry the process live right
Speaker 1: here or with us on the iHeartRadio app America. Two
Speaker 1: fifty Celebrations. They're coming to the nation's capital in advance
Speaker 1: of this weekend's massive military parade. Several streets in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. On or near the parade route will be
Speaker 1: shut down starting today and in some cases will last
Speaker 1: right through Monday. The celebration is set for Flag Day,
Speaker 1: coming up on Saturday. It commemorates the founding of the
Speaker 1: US Army two hundred and fifty years ago. It is
Speaker 1: also President Trump's seventy ninth birthday. Moving vans could soon
Speaker 1: be headed to the FBI. Top officials are quietly talking
Speaker 1: about relocating the bureau's elite training academy at Quantico, Virginia,
Speaker 1: to Huntsville, Alabama. This would be part of the President's
Speaker 1: effort to shrink the footprint of the federal government. The
Speaker 1: FBI won't get into specifics about this possible move, but
Speaker 1: will only say it's looking at a number of proposals
Speaker 1: to optimize its facilities in the interest of cost effectiveness.
Speaker 1: You are now in the loop for news updates throughout
Speaker 1: the day. Listen to WBZ News Radio on the iHeartRadio app.
