00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:06.919
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Sixty five degrees. It's eleven o'clock, lots of sun out there,

3
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:16.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of pollen as well. Checked the forecast in

4
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 2>just a few minutes. I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening.

5
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 2>The defense is now cross examining key witness Jen McCabe

6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and the Karen Reid retrial. McCabe says she has a

7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 2>very close family and it's a family that's heavily involved

8
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 2>in the case where John O'Keefe's body was found outside

9
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 2>her brother in law's house in Canton. The defense pointing out, you.

10
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 3>Also said that you knew and your words light Karen

11
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Reid my client on the twenty eighth of January twenty

12
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 3>twenty two.

13
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>Correct.

14
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, but she very much is not family. Correct.

15
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 2>Correct. The defense is trying to make the argument that

16
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Read is a scapegoat and that the family is covering

17
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 2>for each other in O'Keeffe's death. It is eleven o'h

18
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.119
<v Speaker 2>one and Wall Street is now waiting through a lot

19
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>of red this morning. In response to new numbers suggesting

20
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.000

22
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 4>in imports from January to March, coinciding with President Trump's

23
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 4>promise of sweeping tariffs on foreign goods that helped to

24
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 4>drive the GDP into negative territory for the first time

25
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.439
<v Speaker 4>in three years. A separate report from payroll processor ADP

26
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 4>showed job creation slowed to just sixty two thousand positions

<v Speaker 2>Other numbers out today showed cooling inflation and increased spending

30
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>as Americans brace for the impact of the president's tariffs.

31
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Many of those tariffs have been paused, but not the

32
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 2>tariffs on China. ABC's Lionel moyees with the update on

<v Speaker 2>Washington's trade war with Beijing.

34
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 1>The White House says deals are in the works that

35
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 1>will level the global trading field for American business, but

36
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 1>so far no word of any official negotiations with China.

39
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>a shortage this coming holiday season, with many stores depending

40
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 1>on China for the hot items. More than sixty percent

41
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>of toy companies in the US say they've already canceled orders.

42
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Nearly half say they could go out of business within

43
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>weeks or months if the tariffs continue.

44
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Stocks are lower across the board. Much more coming up

<v Speaker 2>in Bloomberg Business at eleven oh eight and at eleven

46
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 2>oh two. This just in too the WBZ newsroom. A

47
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>federal judge in Vermont has just ordered the release of

48
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>a Palestinian man who led protests against the war in

50
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>a legal permanent US resident for a decade. He was

51
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>arrested by Ice while he was at an interview about

52
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 2>finalizing his US citizenship. Mdawi's lawyers have maintained he was

53
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>arrested in retaliation for exercising his right to free speech.

54
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>It's another warm day out there, with many of us

55
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 2>in the mid to upper sixties right now, and it's

56
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 2>a breezy one as well. Wind shifting a little bit

57
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>from yesterday now it is coming in from the northwest

58
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>at about fifteen twenty miles an hour. We will get

62
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 2>we have a low in the mid forties if you're

63
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.120

66
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>mid to upper fifties. Then we start to see our

67
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 2>next round of rain on Friday. We have the mix

68
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.000
<v Speaker 2>of sun and clouds to start. Clouds move in though

69
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>into the afternoon and we have some showers, even a

70
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>couple of thunderstorms. Highs in the seventies pushing eighty north

71
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.680
<v Speaker 2>and west, low to mid sixties though, if you're on

72
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the capin Islands right now, sixty five degrees in Wareham,

73
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>seeing sixty six in Lynn, sixty four in Natick, and

<v Speaker 2>in Boston at a Lefno. Five it is partly cloudy

75
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>and sixty five. Police in Boston have now identified a

76
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>group of people accused of attacking a Suffolk University student

77
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>as he was walking by the common your wbz's Matt Fipps.

78
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 5>This took place late on Saturday night, offers found the

79
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 5>victim bleeding from the head. He tells police a group

80
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 5>shoved him, put him in a headlock, and broke a

81
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.560
<v Speaker 5>bottle over his head. Investigators say an image captured from

82
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 5>a surveillance camera did yield positive IDs on the suspects,

83
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 5>but their identities have not yet been shared. Matt phipps

85
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Residents of Milton now giving the green light to hike

86
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>their property taxes in hopes of covering budget deficits. More

87
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 2>than fifty five hundred residents voting yesterday to approve the

88
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 2>nine and a half million dollar hike, thirty one hundred

89
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 2>residents voting against it. Now, both the town and school

90
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 2>budgets need this boost. Town officials say it was a

91
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 2>mix of factors that led them to this point, including

92
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>higher costs, lower revenues, and federal pandemic funding being phased out.

93
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Without the hike, officials say there would have been cuts

94
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 2>to a number of services, including plowing and paving crews,

95
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 2>the town's library, and jobs in the schools. There's a

96
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 2>new study out this week suggesting that we humans heal

97
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot slower than other mammals.

98
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Researchers found it face human cuts more than twice as

99
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 3>long to heal as the wounds of monkeys, baboons, chimpanzees,

100
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 3>mice or other mammals. Furry animals are covered by hair follicles,

101
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.000
<v Speaker 3>which house stem cells. When necessary, they grow new skin.

102
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 3>Our ancestors lost many of their hair follicles, so we

103
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 3>heal more slowly. Our skin is now packed with sweatlands,

104
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 3>which also have some stem cells, but they're not as

105
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 3>good at repairing wounds. Michael Wallace, CBS.
