00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:15.080
<v Speaker 2>It is a ridiculously warm Friday morning here in Boston.

3
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>We are waking up under partly to mostly cloudy skies

4
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.640
<v Speaker 2>and sixty four degrees already here in the city. The

5
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 2>News at six is brought to us by your New

6
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 2>England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid all wheel Drive headquarters. Thanks

7
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 2>for being with us this morning. I'm Jeff Brown. It's here.

8
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Today's some sunshine, breezy and mild LA high sixty six.

9
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 2>And is WBZ ACI weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg perfect weather

10
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 2>for opening Day at Fenway Park today. Slow start out

11
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>the door this morning, though the weekend at Fenway not

12
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 2>so much as good weather as today for the one

13
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirteenth time, though Fenway plays balls. Is mister

14
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 2>opening Day, my Columbar, who you can find decked out

15
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.039
<v Speaker 2>in red Sox gear on Lansdown Street next to the

16
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>ticket office every season the Sox open up at Finway.

17
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Twenty five and secutive year is still going strong.

18
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Never once had a ticket.

19
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 3>Never. No, that's not the point. The point is to

20
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 3>soak in the atmosphere.

21
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm so excited for the buzz around, people walking around

22
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.680
<v Speaker 2>the Red Sox jersey's the Red Sox hats.

23
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait for it to be back. Is it

24
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 3>second to none?

25
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, mister Opening Day. I can't explain it.

26
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 4>I fell in love with it the first time I

27
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 4>did it with my friends when I was a kid,

28
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.040
<v Speaker 4>and now it's just it.

29
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>I know what's going to be a good day, no

30
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>matter what. Chris Fom WBZ, Boston's news Radio Now before

31
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 2>the game today, the festivities as the team will pay

32
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 2>tribute to the fiftieth anniversary of the nineteen seventy five

33
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox and especially to Red Sox Hall of Famer

34
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 2>the late great Louis Tiant. They team in seventy five

35
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 2>came this close to breaking the curse against the Cincinnati

36
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 2>Reds and what many still believe was the greatest World

37
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 2>Series ever played. Bruins continue to stumble to the regular

38
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>season finish line. They lose in Montreal, their tenth consecutive defeat.

39
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Celtics hosts the Suns tonight. College basketball's March Madness resumes

40
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>with the women's Final four Yukon takes on UCLA later today.

41
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Global financial markets continue to tumble following President Trump's announcement

42
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>on global tariffs. The irony is the new tax on

43
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>imports has not even hit officially yet. The first wave

44
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>of a more or less blanket ten percent tariff takes

45
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 2>place at just after midnight tonight. Additional reciprocal levies will

46
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 2>arrive next week. Canada says it's preparing to respond. Automaker

47
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Stilantis says it's going to stop production in plants north

48
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>and south of the border. Thousands of jobs will be

49
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 2>affected there, hundreds more in the United States. Experts say

50
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>we'll feel the pinch of these tariffs first with the

51
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>impact of cars, clothing, and coffee. You're fired. The head

52
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 2>of the nation's National Security and Cyber Command is out.

53
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 5>General Timothy Hawk has been fired as director of the

54
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 5>National Security Agency Now. Hawk has also been removed as

55
00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:00.039
<v Speaker 5>head of US cybersecurity at the Pentagon. Trump said he

56
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 5>fired some national security officials, but did not say exactly who.

57
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 5>The firings came after he met with far right activist

58
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 5>Laura Lumer, where Lumer reportedly urged Trump to purge any

59
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 5>staffers that she deemed not loyal to his agenda. Lumor

60
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.960
<v Speaker 5>is known for spreading conspiracy theory Trump said he sometimes

61
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 5>takes Lumour's advice, but denied that she was responsible for

62
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 5>the firings.

63
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 2>Babc's Nicole de Antonio still the White House is not

64
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 2>issued an official reason for the terminations. Going to be

65
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful day for baseball. The grass is a pristine

66
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>green at Fenway Park this morning and all day today,

67
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 2>We're going to be in good shape. We're starting off

68
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 2>here in Boston under partly cloudy skies in sixty three

69
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 2>degrees at the moment. Temperatures are going to be warming

70
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>up even from here, maybe close to seventy later today.

71
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 2>It will be a bit breezy. We will break for

72
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>some sunshine later this afternoon as well. So it's going

73
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 2>to be a great day at Fenway Park this weekend,

74
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>not so much as the Saint Louis Cardinals will remain

75
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 2>in town over the weekend for a three game series.

76
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>We're looking at some colder air moving. We're talking highs

77
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>only in the forties tomorrow and it features occasional showers.

78
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 2>And then on Sunday we rebound nicely back to around

79
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 2>sixty but still cloudy skies and a couple of lingering

80
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 2>showers throughout the day as well, turn the page on

81
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 2>a new work week, and it's back and forth we

82
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 2>go again. Highs only in the forties on Monday. Right

83
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>now in Boston, it's sixty three, partly cloudy. As we

84
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.600
<v Speaker 2>get started this Friday morning, it's six oh five with

85
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>greener grass. The golf course is calling your name as well.

86
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is one of those days where you may

87
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 3>not be feeling well enough to go into work, but

88
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 3>maybe just good enough to get in a few rounds

89
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 3>of golf. If the chripping birds weren't a good enough

90
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 3>indicator that spring is here, then it should be the

91
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.480
<v Speaker 3>mid to high sixty degree weather that should do the trick. However,

92
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 3>just as quickly as the golf gods giveth, they take

93
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 3>it away, because this weekend is now looking that great.

94
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 3>So swing away while you can on the green and

<v Speaker 3>Quinsey James Rojas w b Z Boston Snooze Radio.

96
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Certainly is that time of year. It is also the

97
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>season of sobriety checkpoints on Massachusetts roadways. Let's check in

98
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 2>with wbz's Drew mo'hollands. Good morning, Andrew, Good.

99
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 4>Morning, Jeffrey, mass Steep. Please say more than a dozen

100
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 4>suspected drunken drivers were taken off the streets during stops

101
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 4>last weekend. More than a dozen others even either give

102
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 4>in citations or arrested for other offenses. Officials say the

103
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 4>checkpoints will be random but routine during this warmer weather.

104
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 4>They come at any time of day or night, but

105
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.800
<v Speaker 4>advanced warnings will be posted. Those are the rules out there.

106
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Two hands on the wheel, yep, both eyes on the road, focus,

107
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 2>take it easy, all right, Drew, Thank you. Jury selection

108
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>continues in the Karen Reid case in Norfolk Superior Court

109
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 2>this morning, with ten jurors already seated. It seems the

110
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.040
<v Speaker 2>process is moving a little more rapidly than Judge Beverly

111
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.839
<v Speaker 2>Canoni had anticipated. The biggest obstacle remains getting people on

112
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>the panel who either don't know about the case or

113
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 2>those convinced that they have no opinion about it. Meantime,

114
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>lawyers for Reid have now appealed to the US Supreme

115
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Court in a motion to dismiss murder and a lesser

116
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 2>charge from her retrial and concerns of double jeopardy. Attorneys

117
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>have tried and failed with judges on several levels after

118
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 2>it was learned verdict would have acquitted read were not

119
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 2>divulged prior to her mistrial last summer. Well as of today,

120
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.920
<v Speaker 2>we've spent fifty years listening to this.

121
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.879
<v Speaker 1>High school buddies, Bill Gates and Paul Allen called their

122
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>company Microsoft, short for micro computer Software. They went on

123
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 1>to develop the ms DOS operating system for IBMPC compatible

124
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>personal computers. Then came Windows, a game changer that turned

125
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Gates into one of the richest people in the world.

126
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Their goal from the beginning was to put a computer

127
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>on every desk and in every home. They did that

128
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and much more. Christopher Cruz, CBS News.
