00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ Boston's news radio redefining local news fifty

2
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:14.119
<v Speaker 1>eight degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm

3
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Benn Parker. Here's what's happening. There was no testimony today

4
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.399
<v Speaker 1>if Karen Reid read trial due to what the court

5
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>calls unavoidable circumstances. CBS News Boston's Christina Rex, though says

6
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Reid herself is sick, and with the trial now four

7
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 1>weeks in, there's uncertainty over whether two key players in

8
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the defense's case will actually take the stand. Wbz's I'm

9
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 1>a Freedman with more.

10
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>The name's Michael Proctor, Brian Higgins, and Brian Albert have

11
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 2>been thrown around time and time again as the defense

12
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 2>tries to assert Karen Reid's innocence. They all testified during

13
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the first trial, but it's up in the air if

14
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 2>they will be called for the second.

15
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 3>After hearing Sergeant Buchanan testify and he was clearly testifying

16
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 3>like on behalf of Proctor and Higgins's behavior, that made

17
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 3>it kind of clear that the strategy was going to

18
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 3>be to not call those who witnesses.

19
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 2>CBS News Boston's Christina Rex says well, we don't know

20
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>for sure. It's looking unlikely, She says. The Commonwealth can

21
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 2>choose not to call them, which would essentially put the

22
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>ball in the defense's court. They could be called to

23
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 2>testify as a defense witness instead, so the defense would

24
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>have to direct examine them, and that means they would

25
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>have to ask open ended questions and can't lead the witness.

26
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Let base propture on the stands Alan Jackson would not

27
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 3>be able to say you sent that text message because

28
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 3>you wanted to frame my client right. Instead, he would

29
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 3>have to say, why did you send that text message?

30
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm a freedman. W BZ, Boston's news radio.

31
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 1>The federal government's anti Semitism task forces taking additional actions

32
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 1>against Harvard University after they say to school repeatedly failed

33
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 1>to confront the pervasive race discrimination and anti Semitic harassment

34
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>plaguing its campus. The Joint Task Force to Combat Anti

35
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Semitism says Harvard has become a breeding ground for virtual

36
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 1>signaling and discrimination, and says it is not leadership, it

37
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 1>is cowardice. As a result, eight federal agencies announcing the

38
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>termination of roughly forwarded and fifty million dollars in grants

39
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 1>to Harvard. That's in addition to the two point two

40
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars terminated last week. WBC's reached out to Harvard

41
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Today for reaction to the latest grant terminations. President Trump

42
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:11.199

43

<v Speaker 4>In the Middle East.

44
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 5>The Abraham Accords recognize Israel, something Saudi Arabia has not

45
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 5>yet done, but something President Trump expects it will do soon.

46
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 6>So I think it'll be a tremendous tribute to your country.

47
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 5>Speaking of the US Saudi Investment Conference, the President said,

48
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 5>while Saudi Arabia will do it on its own time,

49
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 5>it will be a special day in the Middle East

50
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 5>with the whole world watching. The Abraham Accords, which came

51
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 5>during Trump's first term, so both Bahrain and the United

52
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 5>Arab Emirates recognizing Israel. Morocco and Sudan reached separate deals.

54
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 1>Washington say a school aged child's been seriously injured after

55
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>being hit with a falling tree branch at Franklin Park.

56
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>Zoo troopers say the child was transported to Boston Children's

57
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Police say a woman that came with the child to

58
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 1>the zoo was sent to a local hospital with life

59
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 1>threatening injuries. Right now, state police are investigating. We're still

60
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>dealing with a pretty nice day. It's a little bit

61
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>on the cool side as you get close to the coast.

62
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>In fact, fifty eight in Boston right now contrasts that

63
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 1>with eighty one degrees in Springfield, seventy two in Leminster,

64
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 1>and seventy one degrees in Worcester, So you get away

65
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>from the coast to get some warmer temperatures. That's the

66
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>deal this afternoon, and it will also be the deal tomorrow,

67
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>although tomorrow will be dealing with a good deal of cloudiness.

68
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Temperatures about sixty two in the city, low seventies Inland.

69
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Some showers break out tomorrow night, temperatures in the low fifties,

70
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>and then on Thursday a few showers around, temperatures mainly

71
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>in the sixties. We'll get back into the mid seventies

72
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 1>at least Inland on Friday with clouds and perhaps a shower,

73
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 1>and then keeping our eyes open and our fingers crossed

74
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 1>for the weekend, though we may be dealing with a

75
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>few showers at a thunderstorm, Temperatures in the mid sixties

76
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>again fifty eight degrees right now in Boston. People who

77
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>live through World War Two are few and far between now,

78
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>but their equipment is still roaring. Wz's high shaffle with more.

<v Speaker 6>World War II.

81
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 7>It was a war with such suffering that when it ended,

82
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 7>jubilation was everywhere.

83
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.800

<v Speaker 6>class collection of World War II tanks and planes. He

86
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 6>says this history is becoming even more important to preserve

87
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 6>because finding someone who actually experienced it is a rarity.

88
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 4>Now.

89
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.480

<v Speaker 6>Cheney showed me tanks that actually fought in the European Theater,

92

<v Speaker 6>and some of those tanks are actually still working.

93
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 8>So all right, the Jackson's all filled up, so we're
