00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 2>It's forty seven and rainy in Boston at eleven o'clock

3
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 2>at Thursday morning on Madison Rodgers, and we start this

4
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.640
<v Speaker 2>hour with a sharp sell off on Wall Street response

5
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.640
<v Speaker 2>to new tariffs from President Trump. As of right now,

6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 2>the Down's down just over three and a half percent,

7
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 2>the S and P down more than four percent, while

8
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the Nasdaq now pushes six percent. The selloff comes on

9
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 2>the first trading day since President Trump announced a minimum

10
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>ten percent tariff on all imports. CBS's Jill Schlessinger has more.

11
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Investors are worried that the Trump tariffs, along with all

12
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 3>the previously announced tariffs, will slow down economic growth and

13
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:52.280
<v Speaker 3>cause prices to rise. In that environment, many companies will

14
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 3>be under pressure to deliver results to their shareholders. There

15
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 3>is a concern that consumers will start to see higher

16
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 3>prices and we'll pull back on spending. Overall. That could

17
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.079
<v Speaker 3>put a dent in economic growth and also cause many

18
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 3>companies to reevaluate their own spending and hiring plans.

19
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>The Senates passed a bill aimed at curtailing some of

20
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 2>the President's ability to invoke those tariffs. The bill challenges

21
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>his declaration of a national emergency giving him the power

22
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>to put tariffs in place. ABC's j O'Brien says some

23
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.159
<v Speaker 2>senators from President Trump's own party helped push that bill

24
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>over the finish line. Last night.

25
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 4>They get four Republicans Rand Paul plus three to vote

26
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 4>for this. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch mccaddoll has long

27
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.159
<v Speaker 4>been a thorn in Donald Trump's side. They joined with

28
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 4>Rand Paul all Democrats in this gets over the gold line.

29
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 2>Now, this measure only focuses on the tariffs imposed on

30
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 2>some Canadian imports. It also won't go into effect unless

31
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 2>the House votes in agreement with the Senate. That is

32
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>unlikely to happen as the state again tries Karen Reid

33
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 2>for the murder of her Boston officer boyfriend. Today is

34
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 2>day three of jury selection Norfilk Superior Court. At this point,

35
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>seven jurors have been selected, four men, three women. They're

36
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 2>looking to pick sixteen jurors in total, including alternates. Finding

37
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>impartial jurors can be a challenge in a case as

38
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>high profile as this one. Nearly all the potential jurors

39
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>so far say they've at least heard of the case.

40
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 2>It's supposed to be a guarantee at construction sites in

41
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 2>Boston a police officer unseen working in detail. Soon civilians

42
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 2>will be able to work some of those shifts, and

43
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>there are more changes coming the city now bringing in

44
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>a Connecticut based company to modernize the scheduling system. It

45
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 2>turns out that system is still done entirely by pen

46
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 2>and paper. There's going to be a new priority system

47
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 2>under which Boston police gets first DIBs on detailed shifts,

48
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 2>followed by police from other local communities, and then civilians.

49
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>The city has long struggled to fill those detailed shifts,

50
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>leading to thousands of vacancies. In the four d a

51
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 2>WBZI weather forecast, we will continue to see some showers

52
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 2>around this afternoon. At this point, most of the rain

53
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>is south of Boston, and it's coming down heaviest along

54
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>the south coast and along the Rhode Island line. That

55
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>is slowly but surely making its way out, though again

56
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>some lingering rain later on this afternoon, winds picking up,

57
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 2>temps getting warmer. We're expecting a high around sixty two,

58
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>so quite a bit warmer than it is now. Mostly

59
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 2>cloudy with a couple of showers. Tonight, we'll get down

60
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>into the low fifties. Then Friday, clouds break for some sunshine.

61
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.879
<v Speaker 2>It's breezy sixty two to sixty six degrees. Some rain

62
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and drizzle moves back in for Saturday. Otherwise it's a cloudy,

63
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>cooler one with temps in the mid upper forties. Then

64
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 2>Sunday a couple of showers, especially in the afternoon, but

65
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 2>it's back up in the sixties, around sixty four for

66
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>the high and mostly cloudy. Looking ahead, we could see

67
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 2>a lingering show hour around Monday morning, but otherwise sun

68
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.479
<v Speaker 2>returns with tempts into the low fifties. Possibly. Right now,

69
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:11.759
<v Speaker 2>it is forty seven degrees in Boston, light rain. It

70
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 2>is drizzly, misty, and fairly nasty out there. At eleven five.

71
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Complaints about third party food delivery drivers causing traffic in

72
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Boston are stacking up, and as a result, the City

73
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>councils now passed a measure to collect more driver data

74
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 2>and beef up insurance coverage.

75
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 1>This new proposal passed the City Council on an eleven

76
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.519
<v Speaker 1>to two vote, now waits the signature of Mayor Michelle Woo.

77
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>It would require third party food delivery drivers to get

78
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>city permits, increase insurance, and report data on a quarterly

79
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 1>basis so the city can analyze some of the troublesome

80
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>traffic spots.

81
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 3>I think that there are other creative solutions to find

82
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 3>that don't put the burden on the average worker.

83
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 1>All these thinks it may be burdensome to drivers. Ryan agrees,

84
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 1>but also thinks city safety is paramount.

85
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 4>However, I understand the need to keep Selearia safe.

86
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 1>He thanks reporting the driving data will be extra helpful.

87
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know if there's some way to just

88
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 3>maken Z owns just the main.

89
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Street one detail that was initially tied to this measure

90
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 1>that was dropped by the city council of fifteen cent

91
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>per delivery tax along Boylson Street. Jim MCKAWBZ Boston's News Radio.

92
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 2>There's a hearing set in Boston Federal Court this afternoon

93
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 2>in the case of a detained Tough's PhD student, and

94
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the university itself has now joined the call to release

95
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 2>fro Mesa Osturk. She's the Turkish national who was arrested

96
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 2>by playing closed ice agents last week in Somerville in

97
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 2>a declaration from the school. Tough says Osterk is described

98
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>by faculty as a hard working, dedicated student, and they

99
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>have no information supporting allegations that she was engaged in

100
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 2>activities warranting her arrest. Ostark has been accused of supporting

101
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Hamas in her pro Palestinian activism. The US District Court

102
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 2>is facing a challenge from the Trump administration. They argue

103
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 2>that they don't have jurisdiction here because Romesa was taken

104
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.319
<v Speaker 2>out of state. Stay with WBZ News Radio for developments.

105
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>The hearing this afternoon is expected to begin around two pm.
