6
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.280
<v Speaker 2>the Karen Reid murder reed trial. Now four weeks in,

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>there is a bit of uncertainty whether two key players

8
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.120
<v Speaker 2>in the investigation will ever take the stand. 's WBC's

00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 3>The name's Michael Proctor, Brian Higgins, and Brian Albert have

11
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.359
<v Speaker 3>been thrown around time and time again as the defense

12
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 3>tries to assert Karen Reid's innocence. They all testified during

13
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 3>the first trial, but it's up in the air if

14
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 3>they will be called for the second.

15
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 4>After hearing Sergeant Buchanan testify and he was clearly testifying

16
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 4>like on behalf of Proctor and Higgins's behavior, that made

17
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 4>it kind of clear that the strategy was going to

18
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:53.799
<v Speaker 4>be to not call those who witness it.

19
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 3>CBS News Boston's Christina Rex says, well, we don't know

20
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 3>for sure. It's looking unlikely. She says, the commonwealth can

21
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 3>choose not to call them, which would essentially put the

22
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 3>ball in the defense's court. They could be called to

23
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 3>testify as a defense witness instead, so the defense would

24
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 3>have to direct examine them, and that means they would

25
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 3>have to ask open ended questions and can't lead the witness.

27
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 4>not be able to say, you sent that text message

28
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 4>because you wanted to frame my client right. Instead, he

29
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 4>would have to say, why did you send that text message?

<v Speaker 2>City Hall in Wooster closing early today in a planned

32
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>city council meeting has been moved from in person to virtual.

33
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 2>This is all in response to a planned protest this

34
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.439
<v Speaker 2>afternoon outside city Hall. This protest is demanding more pushback

35
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.920
<v Speaker 2>against ice and protection for immigrants in Wooster. This, by

36
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 2>the way, is the second rally in the past week

37
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>after the arrest of a Brazilian woman. That arrest turning

38
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 2>into chaos in the streets as neighbors tried to stop

39
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 2>the agents from taking her. Two others were arrested, including

40
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 2>the woman's daughter and a candidate for the city school committee.

<v Speaker 2>President Trump's trade wars his ABC's Jim Ryan.

44
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 5>Overall food prices fell last month by a fraction, but

45
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 5>some grocery items saw a dramatic decline. The cost of

46
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 5>a dozen eggs, for example, fell more than ten percent

47
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 5>as the effect of Avian flu.

48
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 1>East.

49
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 5>Still, egg prices are almost fifty percent higher than in

50
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 5>April of last year.

51
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Experts say the report today from the Labor Department suggests

52
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>that President Trump's tariffs have yet to affect prices that much.

53
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Just yesterday, China and the United States announced a new

54
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 2>trade deal to pause the steepest of those duties. Tariffs

55
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>against other countries have been on pause for weeks and

56
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>over in the Middle East, President Trump and the Saudi

57
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Crown Prince have signed several new economic agreements. President Trump

58
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>is in Saudi Arabia right now for his first major

59
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.879
<v Speaker 2>overseas trips since taking office for his second term. Today's

60
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>agreements boost cooperation between the US and Saudi military's justice

61
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.879
<v Speaker 2>departments and even cultural institutions. Now later on today, the

62
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.520
<v Speaker 2>two sides are expected to sign even more agreements at

63
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 2>an investors conference. Saudi Arabia has already committed to investing

64
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.599
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of billions of dollars in the United States. President

65
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 2>Trump has been pushing for more. For the rest of

66
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the afternoon is looking phenomenal outside. We have blue skies

67
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>over the city of Boston, couple of high clouds, but

68
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 2>again we're not really seeing much in the way of rain.

69
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 2>There is a storm that is making its way up

70
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>the east coast a little bit, but it is going

71
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>to pretty much stay away from New England, so we

72
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 2>are going to be exempt of this.

73
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Rain.

74
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Would have been nice if that was the case for

75
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the weekend, but we can't have everything we want. High

76
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 2>is today in the mid sixties right by the coast,

77
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>and low seventies if you're north and west. Temperatures will

78
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>fall throughout the afternoon getting into the evening. Partly cloudy

79
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>early tonight, but more clouds move in through the overnight,

80
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and we've got a low in the mid to upper

81
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 2>forties for tomorrow, cloudy with a high in the mid

82
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 2>sixties low seventies well Inland. A couple of showers at

83
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>night into Thursday. More showers are possible Thursday and Friday,

84
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>with highs in the sixties seventy one degrees right now

85
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>in Framingham, sixty two in Ipswich, where at sixty seven

86
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 2>as you make your way into Brockton, and in Boston

87
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>eleven o five it is partly cloudy and sixty four.

89
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>to a dangerous and costly trend on social media. Wbz's

90
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.199

91
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.319
<v Speaker 6>People are sticking sharp objects into their chromebooks, and they're

92
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 6>letting him on fire. Pretty much sums it up. Mike

93
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 6>is a junior at Quincy High and he was well

94
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 6>aware of the chromebook challenge. I've seen a few incidents.

95
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 6>Mansfield and North Attleboro schools recently sent out warnings about it,

96
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 6>and it's also a reminder this is not only dangerous

97
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 6>for kids who destroy classroom chromebooks, but mom and dad

98
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 6>are footing the bill for it, to the tune of

99
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 6>two hundred and fifty dollars. Dane is a parent whose

100
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 6>son is on TikTok. She tries to stay on top

101
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 6>of every night.

102
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 3>I think it's really good to be aware of things,

103
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 3>and we know a lot of parents don't know what's

104
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 3>going on online.

105
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 6>Hopefully preventing someone from getting hurt and preventing that financial

106
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 6>hit right before the summer.

107
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 7>No, it's good to have a heads up and be

108

<v Speaker 2>A lot of grief and sorrow at Bentley University today

111
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.279
<v Speaker 2>after a senior died during a class trip to the Bahamas. School,

112
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 2>says garav Jay Singh died on Sunday night after apparently

113
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>falling off a balcony. It is not exactly clear what

114
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>led up to the fall. Bentley says it's offering counseling

115
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>for anybody who needs it needs it, saying the death

116
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 2>is a quote enormous tragedy for the Bentley community. Driverless

117
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 2>taxis are coming here to Boston. At first, though they

118
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>have some help.

119
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 7>You could soon be seeing a car pull up to

120
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 7>the red light beside you with no driver in sight.

121
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 7>That's the plan for down the road as WEIMO gears

122
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.519
<v Speaker 7>up to test itself driving cars around. But before that happens,

123
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.439
<v Speaker 7>there will be a human behind the wheel for the

124
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 7>trial period, though not everyone is ready for the future.

125
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I really wouldn't do it, and you can't really talk

126
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.399
<v Speaker 2>to nobody, like were going the right way?

127
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, can you unlock the doors if anything mechanical happened,

128
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 3>is stuck in a car. So I don't know how

129
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 3>I feel too much about it. I don't think I

130

<v Speaker 3>would want.

131

136
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 2>great white shark siding of the season. The shark was

137
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>spotted Sunday off the coast of Nantucket, so it's not

138
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 2>exactly swimming weather, but still if you want to go

139
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 2>stick your toe in. The aquarium says this is a warning.

140
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Always be aware of your surroundings in the water. I

141
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 2>say avoid areas with seals or large schools of fish

142
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.240
<v Speaker 2>because sharks get hungry, they need a snack and that's

143
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.040
<v Speaker 2>where they like to feed. And if you do see

144
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 2>a shark by the way, they say, please report it

145
