00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio. We defining local news

2
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.679
<v Speaker 1>fifty nine degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. She's home and she's

4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>speaking out. Meet them. Native astronauts Sunny william speaking out

5
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>for the first time since her extended stay in space.

6
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 1>William says she got the first thing she did when

7
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 1>she got home.

8
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I wanted to hug my husband and hug

9
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.399
<v Speaker 2>my ducks, and I'll say that in that order.

10
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.119
<v Speaker 1>Williams and fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore insists they weren't stranded

11
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.679
<v Speaker 1>in space. After having to stay on the International Space

12
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Station much longer than expected, like nine months, Willmore says

13
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>they were just doing their job.

14
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 3>The plan went way off for what we had planned,

15
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 3>but because we're in human spaceflight, we prepare for any

16
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>number of contingencies.

17
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Two also said they weren't aware of all the attention

18
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>they were getting during the mission and thanked the public

19
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>for their support. President Trump has referred to April second

20
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>as Liberation Day.

21
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 2>President Trump maintains that America has been ripped off because

22
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 2>it imports more goods than it exports. He's promising reciprocal

23
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>tariffs on every nation that charges import tariffs on American goods.

24
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>His goal with the new set of tariffs is to

25
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>spur companies to do their manufacturing here in the US

26
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>instead of overseas, which would boost the economy, but many

27
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 2>economists say average US families would have to absorb the

28
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>cost in the form of higher prices and lower incomes.

29
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>That is CBS's Stacy Lynn, the federal judge presiding over

30
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the Boston Marathon bomber's efforts to overturn his death sentence,

31
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 1>rejects a motion for his recusal. The Globe reports lawyers

32
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 1>for Johyz and I have had asked the judge, Georgie O'Toole,

33
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 1>be removed from the case, arguing that his comments on

34
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:53.439
<v Speaker 1>podcasts and at events constituted bias. Prosecutors disagreed. O tool

35
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.079
<v Speaker 1>ruled that the defense had not met the high threshold

36
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>needed to make his recusal necessary. Just one more day now.

37
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Jury selection starts tomorrow in Norfolk Superior Court in the

38
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 1>second murder trial of Karen Reid of the b z's

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm declaring a mistrial in this case.

42
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 3>After her first criminal trial ended with a hung jury

43
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 3>last summer. Karen Reid's retrial we'll get under way tomorrow

44
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 3>with jury selection. Norfolk County has over two hundred people

45
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 3>ready to go for day one of jury selection, which

46
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 3>is expected to take a few weeks. This time around, perspective,

47
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 3>jurors will have to fill out an additional one page

48
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.599
<v Speaker 3>questionnaire about their knowledge and opinion of the case. Over

49
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 3>one thousand people have been called to the court for

50
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 3>jury duty in the first week alone. Reid is accused

51
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 3>of hitting her Boston Police officer boyfriend John O'Keefe and

52
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 3>leaving him in the snow to die. Reid's team is

53
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 3>expected to introduce a third party defense, saying she's being framed.

54
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Judge Beverly Canoni ruled today that the defense can't call

55
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 3>a former FBI agent to testify on police policies when

56
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 3>it comes to how the crime scene was handled. Brook McCarthy,

<v Speaker 1>up on the tee some changes on the Ashemont branch

63
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 1>of the MBTA Redline service will be suspended starting tomorrow

64

66
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 1>from April first to the ninth, and then from April

67
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>tenth to the thirtieth, shuttle trains will provide service between

68
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 1>those stops. The closure will accommodate track work on the

69
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 1>Ashmont branch and Mattapan line, and the agency says they'll

70
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>take time to do improvements on things like walkways and

71
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>track and power upgrades as well. Coming up on WZ

72
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>one local chocolate shop getting ready for a major Jewish holiday.

73
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 1>As we checked the four day WZ active weather forecast,

74
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>where on the rain right now, We've had a couple

75
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>of sprintzes around. It's about it. The cloud's just hanging

76
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>tough through this day and into the evening. Eventually later

77
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 1>tonight we will bring in some rain. Some of it

78
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 1>could cause some ponding on roads, could even be a

79
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 1>rumble of thunder around. Temperatures mainly in the mid forties

80
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>or so, breezy Tomorrow, there will be some sunshine breaking out,

81
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>temperatures in the low fifties, partly cloudy, colder. Tomorrow night

82
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>will be near freezing, maybe even a few degrees below

83
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>that in some of the coldest spots. Wednesday we only

84
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 1>get to about forty for a high with a mix

85
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>of sun and clouds. Clouds at night will bring some

86
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.319
<v Speaker 1>rain Wednesday night. Thursday, we'll have some rain around, but

87
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 1>we will get milder temperatures climbing into the low to

88
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>mid sixties. Right now fifty nine degrees. See in Boston,

89
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>it's another big candy holiday season. In Summerville, a chocolate

90
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>tear is whipping up treats for a holiday with some

91
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.600
<v Speaker 1>very tight rules. As we hear from wz's Hyle Shaffles.

92
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 5>Sarah Shapiro is standing over a counter holding a twenty

93
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 5>five pound brick of chocolate. Okay, have you ready? The

94
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 5>owner of Wild Child Chocolate, she's hard at work pumping

95
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 5>out luxury chocolate bars with top quality cocoa. But this

96
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 5>chocolate is particularly special.

97
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 4>It's a big financial leap for any business to become

98
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 4>kosher for pass.

99
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 5>Passover rules are even stricter than normal kosher food. Nothing

100
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 5>can ever touch grains or lagoons.

101
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 4>Everything that you have in the kitchen has been cleaned again,

102
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 4>so make sure that there isn't even a crumb passover.

103
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 5>Chocolate tends to be low quality. It's just not worth

104
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 5>it for top chocolate makers to go through the effort.

105
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:17.959
<v Speaker 5>But slowly Sarah is trying to change that.

106
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.399
<v Speaker 4>We've learned the language of wine in the last twenty

107
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 4>years for coacher keepers, but chocolate wasn't really part of

108
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 4>that conversation.

109
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.879
<v Speaker 5>Kyle Scheffeld to be busy Boston's News Radio.

110
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>May tenth is the date for Somerville's porch Fest this year,

111
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people and jam streets in twenty

112
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty four means some new rules for twenty twenty five.

113
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>The Somerville Arts Council for starters change the application process

114
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and says to ensure public safety, there may be certain

115
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.720
<v Speaker 1>streets where bands will not be able to play. There

116
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 1>are some restricted streets. Another information on the Arts Council's website. Applications,

117
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 1>by the way for Porchfest open until April tenth. Hoop

118
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 1>dreams continue for just a handful of college basketball teams

119
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 1>these days. Among those dreams that are still alive Yukon women.

120
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 1>They look a bunch of Final four ticket tonight. Wbzi's

<v Speaker 1>Drewmalholland tells us this is a time of year when

122
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 1>losing can be well tough on everyone.

123
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

124
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 6>The women's basketball coach for LSU, legendary head coach Kim

125
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 6>Molkie saw her Tigers lose to UCLA this weekended. In

126
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 6>the press conference, a reporter from the student run radio

127
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 6>station at LSU asked coach Melky a question or was

128
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 6>about to.

129
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.519
<v Speaker 5>Jadan Smith Kalistry Sports coaches the second straight year, you

130
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 5>guys could eliminated in the Elite eight.

131
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.920
<v Speaker 6>How many found fours you play in?

132
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

133
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 1>None, so it's probably pretty good.

134
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:33.079
<v Speaker 5>Huh yeah, all.

135
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Right, all right.

136
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 6>She gave a wink and was smiling though having a

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 6>little fun with young Jaden. After a tough loss for LSU,
