00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.079

<v Speaker 4>innovation and emerging technologies grab the headlines to combat climate change.

19
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 4>The Trump administration's policies threatened to steal the show. Governor

20
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 4>Healy says it's full steam ahead anyway and delivers the

21
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 4>keynote address. The untapped potential of the power grid, life

22
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 4>science advancements, and the offshore wind industry are all heavy

26
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 2>of the season as they lose in a walk off

27
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>fashion in extra innings to the Tigers. Socks are in

29
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>fans got to get back on this train. Despite all odds,

30
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>the Celts will try to keep their season alive tonight.

31
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Game five against the Knicks underway at seven o'clock at

32
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>the TD Garden. The NFL releases its regular season schedule tonight,

00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.200

34
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 2>in three years, the Patriots will not play any games overseas.

35

37
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>just a few days away, which means students are getting

38
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>ready to pack up and head out. That has hundreds

39
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 2>of volunteers waiting in the wings to collect thousands of

40
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 2>items that were meant for the dumpster, giving them a

41
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>new home for those in need. Folks who over at

42
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the Household Goods say in years past they've collected everything

43
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>from microwaves, fans, lamps, storage containers, and towels. In one

44
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>year alone, the organization says it collected more than forty

45
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>five hundred items during BC move out on the campus.

<v Speaker 2>more info. Good morning, Andrew, Good morning Jeffrey.

49
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the hoodie was asked about twenty four year old

50
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 5>girlfriend Jordan Hudson at the ACC spring meetings.

51
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

52
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's, you know, really off to the side.

53
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 3>It's a personal relationship and she doesn't have anything to

54
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 3>do with at UNC football. I'm excited to be back

55
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 3>in the coaches meetings.

56
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 6>I know that you're not on social media and you

57
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.840
<v Speaker 6>don't read as much as everybody else has seen, But

58
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 6>when it comes to having conversations with your players, have

59
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 6>you been able to talk about any of those things?

60
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 6>And the specific is the ones on what's going on

61
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 6>off the field.

62
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, I talked to the players, you know, and

63
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 3>we'll we meet with them when they come in to

64
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 3>visit and so forth.

65
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 5>Sure, Bill Belichick sounding a little upbeat a little bit

66
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 5>that with the ESPN. A statement also refutes recent reports

67
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 5>that Jordan Hudson had been banned from all football activities

68
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 5>that unc Belichick will appear in ABC's Good Morning America

69
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 5>for a chat with Michael Strahan on Friday.

70
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 3>Cincinnati Really are.

71
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>On Cincinnati, all right, truth, Thank you. Beautiful sunrise in

72
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>and around Greater Boston this morning, although the pictures we're

73
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 2>seeing on X this morning suggest red skies in the morning,

74
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>and we know what that's all about. Sailors will take warning.

75
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Although today it looks like we're going to be mainly dry,

76
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 2>we'll see mostly cloudy skies eventually throughout the day. Daytime

77
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>highs will be around sixty five in Boston and in

78
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>the load to mid seventies once again in inland locations.

79
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Overnight tonight, more clouds persist, a couple of passing showers

80
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>on the way, with low's in the fifties. Mainly cloudy

81
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 2>skies again Tomorrow, better chance of rain during the daylight hours,

82
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 2>with highs once again in the mid sixties. For most

83
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>of the area. It is a little bit warmer and muggier.

84
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>On Friday, we'll notice that we've got a feel of

85
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 2>a sultry summer day despite the clouds and the possibility

86
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>of a couple of showers, and in fact, even this

87
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 2>weekend looks like we cannot rule out the possibility of

88
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 2>showers and maybe a pop up thunderstorm as well. Right now,

89
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 2>it's fifty here in Boston. Let's call it partly cloudy

90
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 2>skies at six oh five on this Wednesday morning. Testimony

91
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 2>is expected to resume once again this morning at the

92
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Karen Reid trial in Norfolk Superior Court, but CBS News

93
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Boston's Christina Rex tells us a lot of talk centers

94
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.879
<v Speaker 2>on who will not be called as witnesses.

95
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 1>There's a growing belief that the Commonwealth will not call

96
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 1>these three men to the stand, Brian Albert, Brian Higgins,

97
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and former trooper Michael Profter. The three were key figures

98
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>in Karen Reid's first trial. Defense attorneys claimed Brian Higgins

99
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>or Albert could have killed to John O'Keeffe w b

100
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Z Legal analyst Catherine Loftus explains that prosecutors are likely

101
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>taking a completely new approach by not calling them, leaving

102
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 1>it up to defense attorneys to call those controversial witnesses.

103
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 2>If you want to put on your case and you

104
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>want to blame people, you can do it. I don't

105
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 2>need them for my case.

106
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>But what about Michael Proctor? How could the state put

107
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 1>on a case where the lead investigator doesn't testify, You

108
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 1>run the risk of looking like you hid in the

109
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.720
<v Speaker 1>ball to the jury. If prosecutors don't call any of

110
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>these witnesses to the stand, defense attorneys will have the

111
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>option to call them.

112
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 2>The new witness is expected to testify this morning after

113
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 2>the jury hears three full consecutive days from Massachusetts State

114
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Police Sergeant Jury Buchannic, a Boston City Hall attorney, has

115
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 2>been sidelined, and he claims it's because of retaliation. John Houghton,

116
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.079
<v Speaker 2>the staff lawyer at City Hall, has been placed on

117
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 2>paid leave after it's discovered he's running for mayor. Houghten

118
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 2>has been with the city for almost twenty years, most

119
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.399
<v Speaker 2>of that time as counsel for the Treasury to Apartment.

120
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 2>He tells The Globe this morning that city officials told

121
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 2>him his sidelining was because of his run for mayor.

122
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 2>Houghton is one of more than a dozen candidates who've

123
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>pulled papers to challenge Mayor Michelle Wu Happening right now,

124
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Israeli air strikes bombard homes in northern Gaza, and as

125
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.600
<v Speaker 2>the dust settles from the most recent attack, dozens are

126
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 2>said to be dead, among them several children. The latest

127
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 2>round of blasts come as President Trump continues a Middle

128
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>East tour with a chip on his shoulder against Israeli

129
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo installed ceasefire talks in the region. Meantime,

130
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.959
<v Speaker 2>Israeli defense officials are now admitting, at least privately, that

131
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>people remaining in Gaza are on the brink of starvation. Meantime,

132
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 2>President Trump meets with Syria's new president on the sidelines

133
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 2>of an Arab summit in Saudi Arabia this morning. It

134
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.639
<v Speaker 2>completes a remarkable comeback for the Republic, which is emerging

135
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.360
<v Speaker 2>from the shadows of the Asad families more than half

136
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.879
<v Speaker 2>century dictatorship. The meeting is of the Hello variety and

137
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 2>comes a day after the President announced he'd lift US

138
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.439
<v Speaker 2>sanctions to give Syria a chance at greatness. Pope Leo

139
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>is on Instagram. The new leader of the Catholic Church,

140
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>takes control of the Vatican's social media accounts and uses

141
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>to handle pontiffects. The first post wishes piece to you all.

142
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 2>The Vatican had been in charge of Pope Francis's account

143
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 2>and will archive his social media interactions. The Pontevex account

144
