Speaker 1: Today's some sunshine, breezy and mild LA high sixty six.
Speaker 2: And is WBZ ACI weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg perfect weather
Speaker 2: for opening Day at Fenway Park today. Slow start out
Speaker 2: the door this morning, though the weekend at Fenway not
Speaker 2: so much as good weather as today for the one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirteenth time, though Fenway plays balls. Is mister
Speaker 2: opening Day, my Columbar, who you can find decked out
Speaker 2: in red Sox gear on Lansdown Street next to the
Speaker 2: ticket office every season the Sox open up at Finway.
Speaker 3: Twenty five and secutive year is still going strong.
Speaker 2: Never once had a ticket.
Speaker 3: Never. No, that's not the point. The point is to
Speaker 3: soak in the atmosphere.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited for the buzz around, people walking around
Speaker 2: the Red Sox jersey's the Red Sox hats.
Speaker 3: I can't wait for it to be back. Is it
Speaker 3: second to none?
Speaker 2: Yes, mister Opening Day. I can't explain it.
Speaker 4: I fell in love with it the first time I
Speaker 4: did it with my friends when I was a kid,
Speaker 4: and now it's just it.
Speaker 2: I know what's going to be a good day, no
Speaker 2: matter what. Chris Fom WBZ, Boston's news Radio Now before
Speaker 2: the game today, the festivities as the team will pay
Speaker 2: tribute to the fiftieth anniversary of the nineteen seventy five
Speaker 2: Red Sox and especially to Red Sox Hall of Famer
Speaker 2: the late great Louis Tiant. They team in seventy five
Speaker 2: came this close to breaking the curse against the Cincinnati
Speaker 2: Reds and what many still believe was the greatest World
Speaker 2: Series ever played. Bruins continue to stumble to the regular
Speaker 2: season finish line. They lose in Montreal, their tenth consecutive defeat.
Speaker 2: Celtics hosts the Suns tonight. College basketball's March Madness resumes
Speaker 2: with the women's Final four Yukon takes on UCLA later today.
Speaker 2: Global financial markets continue to tumble following President Trump's announcement
Speaker 2: on global tariffs. The irony is the new tax on
Speaker 2: imports has not even hit officially yet. The first wave
Speaker 2: of a more or less blanket ten percent tariff takes
Speaker 2: place at just after midnight tonight. Additional reciprocal levies will
Speaker 2: arrive next week. Canada says it's preparing to respond. Automaker
Speaker 2: Stilantis says it's going to stop production in plants north
Speaker 2: and south of the border. Thousands of jobs will be
Speaker 2: affected there, hundreds more in the United States. Experts say
Speaker 2: we'll feel the pinch of these tariffs first with the
Speaker 2: impact of cars, clothing, and coffee. You're fired. The head
Speaker 2: of the nation's National Security and Cyber Command is out.
Speaker 5: General Timothy Hawk has been fired as director of the
Speaker 5: National Security Agency Now. Hawk has also been removed as
Speaker 5: head of US cybersecurity at the Pentagon. Trump said he
Speaker 5: fired some national security officials, but did not say exactly who.
Speaker 5: The firings came after he met with far right activist
Speaker 5: Laura Lumer, where Lumer reportedly urged Trump to purge any
Speaker 5: staffers that she deemed not loyal to his agenda. Lumor
Speaker 5: is known for spreading conspiracy theory Trump said he sometimes
Speaker 5: takes Lumour's advice, but denied that she was responsible for
Speaker 5: the firings.
Speaker 2: Babc's Nicole de Antonio still the White House is not
Speaker 2: issued an official reason for the terminations. Going to be
Speaker 2: a beautiful day for baseball. The grass is a pristine
Speaker 2: green at Fenway Park this morning and all day today,
Speaker 2: We're going to be in good shape. We're starting off
Speaker 2: here in Boston under partly cloudy skies in sixty three
Speaker 2: degrees at the moment. Temperatures are going to be warming
Speaker 2: up even from here, maybe close to seventy later today.
Speaker 2: It will be a bit breezy. We will break for
Speaker 2: some sunshine later this afternoon as well. So it's going
Speaker 2: to be a great day at Fenway Park this weekend,
Speaker 2: not so much as the Saint Louis Cardinals will remain
Speaker 2: in town over the weekend for a three game series.
Speaker 2: We're looking at some colder air moving. We're talking highs
Speaker 2: only in the forties tomorrow and it features occasional showers.
Speaker 2: And then on Sunday we rebound nicely back to around
Speaker 2: sixty but still cloudy skies and a couple of lingering
Speaker 2: showers throughout the day as well, turn the page on
Speaker 2: a new work week, and it's back and forth we
Speaker 2: go again. Highs only in the forties on Monday. Right
Speaker 2: now in Boston, it's sixty three, partly cloudy. As we
Speaker 2: get started this Friday morning, it's six oh five with
Speaker 2: greener grass. The golf course is calling your name as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one of those days where you may
Speaker 3: not be feeling well enough to go into work, but
Speaker 3: maybe just good enough to get in a few rounds
Speaker 3: of golf. If the chripping birds weren't a good enough
Speaker 3: indicator that spring is here, then it should be the
Speaker 3: mid to high sixty degree weather that should do the trick. However,
Speaker 3: just as quickly as the golf gods giveth, they take
Speaker 3: it away, because this weekend is now looking that great.
Speaker 3: So swing away while you can on the green and
Speaker 3: Quinsey James Rojas w b Z Boston Snooze Radio.
Speaker 2: Certainly is that time of year. It is also the
Speaker 2: season of sobriety checkpoints on Massachusetts roadways. Let's check in
Speaker 2: with wbz's Drew mo'hollands. Good morning, Andrew, Good.
Speaker 4: Morning, Jeffrey, mass Steep. Please say more than a dozen
Speaker 4: suspected drunken drivers were taken off the streets during stops
Speaker 4: last weekend. More than a dozen others even either give
Speaker 4: in citations or arrested for other offenses. Officials say the
Speaker 4: checkpoints will be random but routine during this warmer weather.
Speaker 4: They come at any time of day or night, but
Speaker 4: advanced warnings will be posted. Those are the rules out there.
Speaker 2: Two hands on the wheel, yep, both eyes on the road, focus,
Speaker 2: take it easy, all right, Drew, Thank you. Jury selection
Speaker 2: continues in the Karen Reid case in Norfolk Superior Court
Speaker 2: this morning, with ten jurors already seated. It seems the
Speaker 2: process is moving a little more rapidly than Judge Beverly
Speaker 2: Canoni had anticipated. The biggest obstacle remains getting people on
Speaker 2: the panel who either don't know about the case or
Speaker 2: those convinced that they have no opinion about it. Meantime,
Speaker 2: lawyers for Reid have now appealed to the US Supreme
Speaker 2: Court in a motion to dismiss murder and a lesser
Speaker 2: charge from her retrial and concerns of double jeopardy. Attorneys
Speaker 2: have tried and failed with judges on several levels after
Speaker 2: it was learned verdict would have acquitted read were not
Speaker 2: divulged prior to her mistrial last summer. Well as of today,
Speaker 2: we've spent fifty years listening to this.
Speaker 1: High school buddies, Bill Gates and Paul Allen called their
Speaker 1: company Microsoft, short for micro computer Software. They went on
Speaker 1: to develop the ms DOS operating system for IBMPC compatible
Speaker 1: personal computers. Then came Windows, a game changer that turned
Speaker 1: Gates into one of the richest people in the world.
Speaker 1: Their goal from the beginning was to put a computer
Speaker 1: on every desk and in every home. They did that
Speaker 1: and much more. Christopher Cruz, CBS News.
