17
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 3>It's a case that's garnered attention well beyond the county

18
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 3>in Commonwealth.

19
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Hire people from California all the time. Hey, I know

20
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 2>you lived again going on over there.

21
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 4>It's crazy.

22
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Who in this.

23
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 5>World has not heard about this?

24
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Him?

25
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 2>I gotta do my research on you.

26
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Today's a day to start as the heart of the

27
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 3>former adjunct professor's second trial for second degree murder and

28
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 3>the death of her former boyfriend in Boston Police officer

29
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 3>John o'keef begins in Norfolk Superior Court, and eyes will

30
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 3>be watching one way or the other. You're interested in this.

31
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 4>Trial, yeah, and I think everybody else should be.

32
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a huge circus.

33
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I think the States waste their money.

34
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that there's going to be just deserved

35
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 3>at the.

36
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 1>End of this.

37
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping they will.

<v Speaker 3>Chris Fahm at WBZ, Boston's news radio.

39
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox will open a three game series against Seattle

40
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 2>at Fenway tonight. Celtics fans continue to wait Game two,

41
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>and the NBA Playoffs opening round is tomorrow against the

42
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Magic at the Garden, and the Patriots fans will need

43
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 2>to wait a little bit longer. The Pats pick fourth

44
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL's draft that's coming up on Thursday night,

45
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 2>Round one in Green Bay. Cardinals from around the world

46
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>meet at the Vatican today and they begin making final

47
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>arrangements for Pope Francis Fantis comes.

48
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 5>Just one day after he celebrated Easter with the faithful

49
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 5>in Saint Peter's Square. The Pontiff's lengthy visit with the

50
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.400
<v Speaker 5>crowds on Sunday, says Vatican analyst Francis Rocca, may have

51
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 5>been an indication he knew the end was near. It

52
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 5>made me, in retrospect, I'm respecting to hear that he

53
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 5>knew he was time was running out, and so he thought, well,

54
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 5>what am I doing?

55
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 3>Am I going to sit in my room? Or am

56
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 3>I going to go out and be the pope?

57
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 5>Especially on Eastern Vatican officials say the Pope's body will

58
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 5>likely be moved here to Saint Peter's Basilica on Wednesday morning.

60
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Role and a funeral for Pope Francis will take place

61
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday morning. President Trump and the First Lady are

62
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 2>expected to attend with another running of the world's oldest marathon.

63
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Now in the books, it's a mad dash to get

64
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>out of town. At Logan Airport, it's a sea of

65
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Boston Marathon jackets, merch and medals around the necks of

66
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 2>those who completed the twenty six point two mile journey,

67
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>among them as Kimberly from Kansas City, who finished her

68
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 2>fifteenth Boston Marathon.

69
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 4>What he's giving the.

70
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 6>Community and the people here in Boston is just being

71
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 6>part of something way greater than yourself, something you can't

72
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 6>put into words. You know, you just have to experience

73
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 6>it to really understand why the pull of Boston just

74
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:14.879
<v Speaker 6>keeps bringing it back.

75
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 4>She's leaving early this morning on only three hours of sleep.

76
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Also having a quick turnaround is David from Atlanta, a

77
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 4>three time marathon runner.

78
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 2>It's the best growth, absolutely, twenty six.

79
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 7>Miles of people cheering you on.

80
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 4>It's historic. It's such a great event. El Logan, James Rojas,

<v Speaker 2>It is six o three and coming up on WBZ

83
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>News Radio this morning, Harvard University takes the Trump administration

84
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>to school and now to court. Details next. The heavy

85
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>rain is finally pulling off shore here in Greater Boston.

86
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 2>The radar indicates who are still seeing plenty of it

87
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 2>moving over the cape and islands this morning, and the

88
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.879
<v Speaker 2>last of it pulling away from the south shore as well.

89
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>It gets better from here. In fact, we will see

90
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>some sunshine later on this morning into the early hours.

91
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 2>This afternoon temperature is going to be on the rise

92
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.319
<v Speaker 2>through the sixties and into the mid seventies this afternoon.

93
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>This is the start of something good, and spring is

94
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 2>in full swing now overnight Tonight, partly cloudy, a little

95
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 2>bit of a breeze at times, will drop back a

96
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit below fifty degrees, plenty of sun Tomorrow, another

97
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 2>run at seventy on the way, and we'll try and

98
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>do it again on Thursday too. Friday, to wrap up

99
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>the work week, it looks like it's slightly cooler, but

100
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 2>still in the upper sixties under partly sunny skies as well.

101
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Right now in Boston, the last of the rain is

102
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 2>moving out. Otherwise mostly cloudy and very damp. This morning.

103
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>It is forty seven degrees as we get started at

104
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>six oh six this Tuesday morning. It is getting uglier

105
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 2>between Harvard University and the White House. The school sues

106
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration, and you can cut the tension with

107
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>a knife.

108
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 7>The lawsuit marks the latest escalation and tension between the

109
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 7>Trump administration and the country's oldest university.

110
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 4>With more than two.

111
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 7>Billion dollars in funding on the line, Harvard's lawyers argue

112
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 7>that Trump is unlawfully using the money as leverage to

113
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 7>gain control of decision making it the school. The school

114
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 7>also highlighted the potential public harm from the funding freeze,

115
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.160
<v Speaker 7>saying it would slow life saving medical research. Peter Horrolambu's

116
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.959
<v Speaker 7>ABC News request rejected.

117
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>A group of House Democrats travel from Capitol Hill to

118
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 2>El Salvador in an attempt to meet face to face

119
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 2>with Abrego Garcia, but they are turned away by local officials.

120
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Now the lawmakers say they want proof of life for

121
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>the twenty nine year old every single day whisked away

122
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.839
<v Speaker 2>from his family in Maryland. Even the Justice Department says

123
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 2>his deportation from his home was a mistake. Both President

124
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 2>Trump and the leader of El Salvador say Garcia is

125
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 2>a criminal without proof, and neither is inclined to facilitate

126
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 2>his release. President Trump says a second leak of sensitive

127
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.759
<v Speaker 2>war plans and attacks on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for

128
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 2>using the Signal messaging app is a waste of time.

129
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>The President says, he got heg sets He's got heg

130
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>sets back and has full confidence in his work, and

131
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 2>he doubters. The President says, should ask the hoothy rebels

132
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 2>at his competence. The latest break with protocol comes on claims.

133
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Details about war plans were shared in a second group

134
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>chat with Hegsat's wife, brother, and personal attorney. Well, Today

135

136
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>attracts more than a billion activists around the planet. Today

137
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 2>wbz' s Drew moholland is here to help kick it off.

138
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, Andrew, Good morning Jeffrey. This year's theme is

139
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Our Power, Our Planets. The United Nations says the nations

140
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of the world are not doing enough to lower greenhouse

141
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 2>gas admissions and are on course to miss the benchmark

142
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 2>set by the twenty fifteen Paris Climate Accord by a mile.

143
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 2>According to reports, the world is also missing the mark

144
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>on cutting plastic pollution. In Boston, we got the birds, bees,

145
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>and Butterflies Bonanza. It's organized by Extinction Rebellion Boston, which

146
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.600
<v Speaker 2>is best known for its constant demonstrations outside the Statehouse.

147
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Earth Day, Jeffrey, and away we go. All right, if

148
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.560
<v Speaker 2>kinda back to reality for a lot of people who
