<v Speaker 2>Sunny and thirty four degrees in Boston at eleven o'clock

3
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.559
<v Speaker 2>on this Wednesday morning. Hello, and thanks for being with us.

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm Sherry Small, and here's what's happening. Two of the

5
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 2>United States largest trading partners strike back against President Trump's

6
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 2>latest salvo of terriffs. China has high tariffs on US

7
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>goods eighty four percent of the European Union just in

8
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.920
<v Speaker 2>post twenty five percent duties of his own. President Trump, though,

9
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>is still defending his tactics despite the turmoil.

10
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Trump last night downplaying the concerns on Wall Street. I

11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 1>know what the hell I'm doing, the President's saying, negotiations

12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>are underway with some countries.

13
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 3>These countries are calling us up, kissing my they are.

14
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 4>They are dying to make it your, please, please make

15
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 4>it your I'll do anything.

16
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>But China has refused to give in to what it

17
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>calls blackmail.

18
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's ABC's Lionel Moyes reporting. Consumers in Europe meanwhile,

19
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>respond to President Trump's terraces by boycotting US goods. Your

21
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 3>Consumer sentiment against the US is particularly strong in Denmark,

22
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 3>whose territory Greenland. President Trump has said he wants to acquire.

23
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 3>Many Danes are canceling their Netflix, Disney Plus, and Apple

24
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.200
<v Speaker 3>TV subscriptions, and the Danish Facebook group, with ninety thousand members,

25
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 3>helps Danes find non US made alternatives to everything from

26
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 3>shoes to lawnmowers. Vicky Barker, CBS News London.

27
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.879

31
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.920

32
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>dismissed for personal reasons, so that leaves the current jury

33
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 2>makeup of six men and six women. Four more needed

34
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>to reach the sixteen that Judge Beverly Cononi requires before

35
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>move forward with the trial. So far, more than three

36
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 2>hundred and eighty jurors have been screened. Neared told reporters

37

39
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>in God's hands this time. The defense is the defenses.

40

41
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.120

42
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Supreme Court will hear their appeal, trying to get two

43
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>of the charges tossed out, citing double jeopardy. They've also

44
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 2>asked the trial be delayed while waiting on the Supreme Court.

45
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>More than one hundred people are dead many more injured

46
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.199

00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 5>and the Mets holding moment of silence. Another player, forty

53
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 5>four year old Tony Blanco, was also killed in the

54
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 5>roof collapse.

55
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 2>It's ABC's Andrew Dimper reporting there coming up. A Boston

56
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 2>City councilor pleads guilty and steps dead. Now let's check

<v Speaker 2>the ACU weather forecast. It's going to be a sunny

00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.120

61
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>these coldest inland suburbs, and then Thursday sun giving way

62
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 2>to clouds. Highs near fifty inland in the forties near

63
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the coast, and then Jus Thursday night is when we're

64
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 2>going to see a little bit of that rain return. Also,

65
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>we'll see possibly some of that rain mixing with some

66
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 2>wet snow north and west of the city. Thursday nights

67
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.840

68
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 2>see some rain near and west of four ninety five.

69
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 2>Hi's forty six to about fifty Saturday. Unfortunately, we're seeing

70
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 2>some rain and drizzle at times to start off the weekend,

71
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>and high's only reaching about the mid forties again, mid forties.

72
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>It's looking like on Sunday as well. In Boston we

73
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>are seeing plenty of sunshine and we've warmed up to

74
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 2>thirty four degrees, but again because of that wind, it

75
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 2>feels ten degrees cooler. Back to news now at eleven

76
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 2>oh five. Opinions are mixed here in the base date

77
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:29.079
<v Speaker 2>over President Trump's trade war. WBC's James Rojas is at

78
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Logan Airport.

79
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 5>Folks in Massachusetts are looking at this escalating situation from

80
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 5>different angles.

81
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 2>A lot of like the current administration is saying like

82
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 2>it's a short term.

83
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Hurting, now for a long term gain. Well, billionaires can last.

84
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 4>Through a recession.

85
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>The regular man, really, Canton.

86
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if it's blubber. Maybe they're just talking

87
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 4>big because they like to talk big, and maybe it's real.

88
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, but it's unsettling for everybody. I don't

89
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 4>think it's unfair. We're not doing it to people that

90
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:58.199
<v Speaker 4>aren't doing it to us.

91
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 3>Basically, Yeah, I think really I agree with some form

92
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 3>of tariff, but obviously have concerns about the execution how

93
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 3>this particular shot, who's being implemented? Hello Logan, James Rojas

94
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 3>w b Z, Boston's News Radio.

95
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Boston City Councilor Tanya Fernandez Anderson resigns after pleading guilty

96
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 2>to wire fraud and stealing from a federally funded program.

97
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 2>For other charges will be dropped. Fernandez Anderson was arrested

98
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 2>last year, accused of stealing thousands in a kickback scheme.

99
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 2>May Boston Mayor Michelle, who urged her to resign.

100
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.959
<v Speaker 3>Officials brightly should be held to a high standard, so

101
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 3>I called initially for resignation months ago.

102
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.879
<v Speaker 2>And Fernandez Anderson represents Dorchester, Roxbury, Fenway and parts of

103
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>the South End prosecutors recommending that she serve a year

104
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.600
<v Speaker 2>and a day in prison, spend three years on probation,

105
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 2>and pay thousands of dollars in restitution. Scientists a not

106
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 2>so fast after a company claimed to bring the dire

107
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>wolf back from extinction. Scientists say three pops created from

108
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 2>a combination of gene editing techniques and DNA from ancient

109
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>fossils are impressive, but you can't actually call them dire

110
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.079
<v Speaker 2>wolves because they can't be cloned. Heleontologists point out the

111
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 2>DNA wasn't well enough preserved, so they're referring to babies

112
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Romulus Remus and Callisi, named after the fierce creatures on

113
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 2>Game of Thrones, as gray wolves that have had part

114
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.199
<v Speaker 2>of their genome changed to look like dyers. The Dallas

115
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.839
<v Speaker 2>based bioscience firm that created them has also set insights

116
