Speaker 2: More from Logan Airport with wbz's James Rojas.
Speaker 1: You know the best time for a business trip right
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving, this reporter said sarcastically.
Speaker 3: No, The National Council for Teachers of English is always

Speaker 3: literature conference is always the Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: I don't know why we do that.
Speaker 1: Lisa from Utah is expecting to get back home in

Speaker 4: I'm used to it, so kind of learned how to
Speaker 4: navigate the holiday traffic over the years.

Speaker 1: Rojas w b Z, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: Still no word of any cancelations at Logan today. There
Speaker 2: are now close to seventy flights that have been delayed

Speaker 2: could take a turn when the weather starts to ramp up.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Capitol Hill now, the Trump transition team
Speaker 2: is looking into corruption allegations around a top eid. ABC's
Speaker 2: Terry Moran has more from Washington.
Speaker 4: Sources say the President at Trump has launched his own
Speaker 4: internal investigation into one of his legal advisors, Boris Epstein,

Speaker 2: Among the people Epstein allegedly sought payments from. Is Scott
Speaker 2: Bissent mister Orbescent rather mister Trump's pick to lead the Treasury.
Speaker 2: But controversy over the transition process isn't stopping mister Trump
Speaker 2: from getting to work on plans for his second administration.
Speaker 2: His latest promise is to impose broad tariffs on Mexico
Speaker 2: and Canada if they don't crack down on their border
Speaker 2: with the US. ABC Selena Wang has more.
Speaker 1: If enacted, these tariffs could violate the terms of the
Speaker 1: trade agreement between the US, Mexico, and Canada, which Trump
Speaker 1: signed into law during his first term. Trump also a
Speaker 1: q who's China of sending drugs pouring into our country,
Speaker 1: threatening an additional ten percent tariff on all Chinese products.
Speaker 1: To Trump's comments, drawing responses from trade partners, the Chinese
Speaker 1: embassy saying economic and trade cooperation is essentially mutually beneficial.
Speaker 1: No one will win in a trade war or a
Speaker 1: tariff war.
Speaker 2: Also firing back the President of Mexico suggesting they could
Speaker 2: retaliate with tariffs of their own. The steadiest band of
Speaker 2: rain right now is stretching from parts of the Metro
Speaker 2: west around Framingham, then north to Nashua and up into
Speaker 2: southern New Hampshire as well, those areas possibly seeing some
Speaker 2: icy rain. We will continue to see periods of rain
Speaker 2: for the rest of today. It ends late forty eight
Speaker 2: to fifty two for the high, and then it's clearing tonight,
Speaker 2: thirty seven for the low in Boston, closer to the
Speaker 2: freezing mark for some inland suburbs. We get a break
Speaker 2: from the weather action tomorrow with times of sun and clouds,
Speaker 2: breezy and chili high forty eight. I'm guessing a lot
Speaker 2: of people are going to be traveling that day though,
Speaker 2: so Thanksgiving itself, we have some stormy action, starting with
Speaker 2: rain and continuing through the afternoon into early Thursday night.
Speaker 2: It will likely stay rain for most of us around Boston,
Speaker 2: but if you're heading north or west of town, watch
Speaker 2: for some wet snow, possibly several inches piling up in
Speaker 2: southern New Hampshire. Friday, we have clouds and some sun.
Speaker 2: It's brisk and chili with temps in the forties. Right
Speaker 2: now in Boston we have rain coming down. It's forty
Speaker 2: five degrees at eleven oh six. A generational tobacco band
Speaker 2: could soon sweep the state. Wbz's Jim McKay has more
Speaker 2: on a new bill under the Golden Dome.
Speaker 5: The goal here is to stomp out the potential of
Speaker 5: nicotine addiction for future generations. I'm hearing more positive vibes
Speaker 5: than negative when I'm talking to people at Quincy Center.
Speaker 1: I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 3: I love the idea.
Speaker 5: There are towns who have passed laws. This would go
Speaker 5: statewide and eventually would phase out nicotine and tobacco sales
Speaker 5: over several decades.
Speaker 2: Really don't see cigarette habits as often as you used to.
Speaker 5: Leslie from Braintree thinks it's a great way to prevent
Speaker 5: the habit before you got to kick it.
Speaker 2: I think that some of the changes that they're making
Speaker 2: is actually working.
Speaker 5: This will likely get immense backlash from convenience store owners
Speaker 5: and smoke shops. The bill was just proposed, and it's
Speaker 5: got a long way to go before becoming anything close
Speaker 5: to alaw on the books in Quincy Jim McKay WVZ
Speaker 5: Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2: A hearing is underway right now regarding evidence in the
Speaker 2: upcoming Karen Reid retrial. The DA's office and the defense
Speaker 2: team are sparring over the prosecution's request to look at
Speaker 2: phone records from Reed's father and mother. Prosecutors are arguing
Speaker 2: that they need those records to see if Reid called
Speaker 2: her parents the night she's accused of hitting Boston Police
Speaker 2: officer John O'Keefe with her car. Prosecutors say an unusual
Speaker 2: phone call to a parent or to her parents at
Speaker 2: one thirty in the morning could establish knowledge of a crime.
Speaker 2: Defense attorneys are arguing that all of that information would
Speaker 2: be present in miss Reid's own call records, which prosecutors
Speaker 2: already have. The retrial, as it stands, will begin in
Speaker 2: late January. However, both sides have asked the judge to
Speaker 2: push that date back to April. You're now in the loop.
