Speaker 1: Sixty eight degrees in Boston, cloudy and very humid at
Speaker 1: six o'clock. Good morning, I'm Charlie burdjroond. Here's what's happening.
Speaker 1: We'll start this houring debtum. The Karen Reid murder retrial
Speaker 1: coming to an end yesterday with the jury handing down
Speaker 1: not guilty verdicts for second degree murder, manslaughter, and leaving
Speaker 1: the scene of a crime bod. If you're wondering who
Speaker 1: those jurors were, wbz's how Shaffele says, you'll have to wait.
Speaker 2: The identity of the can Read jury will remain a secret,
Speaker 2: at least for now. Minutes after the verdict was read,
Speaker 2: Judge Beverly Canoni handed down an order impounding the jury list,
Speaker 2: in other words, sealing it from public view. That order
Speaker 2: is in place for at least ten days, but it
Speaker 2: could be extended longer. Courts have the option to keep
Speaker 2: the jury list secret if they think there's a risk
Speaker 2: of harm to the jury if the list has made public.
Speaker 2: Canoni reason that in this case, with an intense spotlight
Speaker 2: and divisive rhetoric, a public list could place the jury
Speaker 2: in danger. Canoni impounded the jury list from the first
Speaker 2: trial indefinitely after one juror told her they feared for
Speaker 2: their safety. Kyle Schaffel w BZ Boss's WHOS.
Speaker 1: Radio several prosecut Ushan witnesses in the Karen retrial releasing
Speaker 1: a statement yesterday saying the verdict that acquitted Read of
Speaker 1: the most serious charges is a devastating miscarriage of justice.
Speaker 1: That statement was issued on behalf of Jennifer and Matthew McCabe, Chris, Julie, Colin,
Speaker 1: Nicole and Brian Albert, and Kerrie and Kurt Roberts. These
Speaker 1: statement reads in part, today are hearts with John and
Speaker 1: the entire O'Keefe family. They have suffered through so much
Speaker 1: and deserved better from our justice system. We mourn with
Speaker 1: John's family and lament the cruel reality that this prosecution
Speaker 1: was infected by lies and conspiracy theories spread by Karen Reid,
Speaker 1: her defense team, and some in the media. It is
Speaker 1: six o' one, the News at six, brought to you
Speaker 1: by your new England Toyota Dealer, your hybrid all wheel
Speaker 1: drive headquarters to the Middle East where an Iranian missile
Speaker 1: slams into the main hospital in southern Israel. Israel meanwhile
Speaker 1: says it has carried out strikes on a heavy water
Speaker 1: reactor in Iran. Back in Washington, a senior intelligence source
Speaker 1: and a Defense Department official telling CBS News President Trump
Speaker 1: approved attack plans on Iran on Tuesday night, but held
Speaker 1: off on making a final decision. The sources say he
Speaker 1: wants to see if Iran abandons its nuclear program first.
Speaker 1: The BBC is Tom Bateman from Washington.
Speaker 3: We know that the Iranians have said that if they
Speaker 3: are hit, they will retaliate, and that that would involve
Speaker 3: American interests in the region. The US has forty thousand troops,
Speaker 3: mostly stationed in Gulf Arab countries. Clearly you get a
Speaker 3: sense of what the stakes are, and if he decides
Speaker 3: to hit the Iranians, then you see how things could
Speaker 3: quite easily and quickly both slip out of control and
Speaker 3: also spread into other countries in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: And the US State Department has ordered Americans in Iran
Speaker 1: to leave immediately. Well, let's check the four day WBZ
Speaker 1: ACTU weather for kest. Joe Lundberg tells us today we'll
Speaker 1: start with low clouds and fog. Sunshine though wins out,
Speaker 1: but it's going to be hot today. Get to about
Speaker 1: ninety in Boston, close to eighty for the Cape and
Speaker 1: the Islands. For tonight, it's breezy with skies clearing, but
Speaker 1: only seventy for low Tomorrow, first official day of summer, sunny, breezy, warm,
Speaker 1: much less humid tomorrow, though that's good news. High eighty five, however,
Speaker 1: short lived because back comes the humidity this weekend, more
Speaker 1: sun than cloud's humid Saturday high eighty three, pretty much
Speaker 1: the same deal on Sunday mid and maybe even upper eighties,
Speaker 1: and then it gets brutally hot once we get into
Speaker 1: early next week. Sixty eight degrees right now and clouds
Speaker 1: in Boston at six oh five. The State Department says
Speaker 1: it is restarting the process through which foreign students can
Speaker 1: apply for visas. However, they have to open their social
Speaker 1: media accounts for government review.
Speaker 4: The Department says consular officers will examine social media accounts
Speaker 4: to screen out applicants who's post might be considered hostile
Speaker 4: to the US. Those who refuse to comply may not
Speaker 4: be granted visas. The Trump administration had temporarily halted visa
Speaker 4: interviews while it prepared to expand the screening requirements. International
Speaker 4: students have faced increased scrutiny since President Trump revoked permission
Speaker 4: for thousands of them to study in the US before
Speaker 4: he reversed course, although increased pressure continues, especially at Harvard.

Speaker 1: A deal finalizing the merger of US Steel and Nippon
Speaker 1: Steel is complete.
Speaker 5: The deal had been in the works for eighteen months.
Speaker 5: A deal that was highly politicized, with concerns and acquisition
Speaker 5: would pose a national security risk and lead to job losses.
Speaker 5: To get it over the finish line, Nippon made remarkable concessions,
Speaker 5: including giving US presidents a direct say in company decisions
Speaker 5: like capital investments, salaries, and layoffs in perpetuity. Trump had
Speaker 5: originally opposed the deal, as did the Biden administration, but
Speaker 5: Trump rebranded it as a partnership. It could set a
Speaker 5: new benchmark on how deals that once would have been
Speaker 5: blocked on national security grounds are negotiated. Tony Waterman Washington.
Speaker 1: The owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, taking ownership of
Speaker 1: another legacy sports team.
Speaker 6: Once dedicated fans learned some of the details, they were
Speaker 6: comfortable with the concept that Mark Walter is not the
Speaker 6: majority owner of the Lakers. Irwin a longtime Laker fans,
Speaker 6: has a change have been needed for over a decade
Speaker 6: since the death of legendary owner doctor Jerry Buss. Unfortunately,
Speaker 6: you know, the kids did not They didn't step up,
Speaker 6: They didn't step out to that level of management. Right
Speaker 6: one fan took a mercenary perspective, Laker history and track
Speaker 6: record of winning, combined with La Dodger money, there is
Speaker 6: no downside. Pete Demetrio for CBS News, Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: C Boston Retirement Board approving a three percent annual cost
Speaker 1: of living race for retired city workers, which will put
Speaker 1: about four hundred and fifty additional dollars to a worker's
Speaker 1: annual pension. The Globe reporting a request to put the
Speaker 1: payment at five hundred forty dollars was rejected. Annual cost
Speaker 1: of living payments for workers are based on a set figure,
Speaker 1: which right now is fifteen thousand dollars, so three percent
Speaker 1: is four point fifty. Retirees want that set figure boosted
Speaker 1: to eighteen thousand dollars, and then three percent would be
Speaker 1: what they were looking for, which was five hundred forty dollars.
