00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 1>tariffs because they know they are here to stay, and

25
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>arguing countries will be forced to strike new trade deals

37
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 2>mostly party line vote. The passage pays the way for

39
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.240

<v Speaker 5>of the week, five international students have had their visas

70
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 5>taken away and student status is terminated by the federal government.

71
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 5>Reyes's federal officials didn't notify UMass of its plans, and

72
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 5>that the university only became aware from checking the Immigration

73
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 5>and Customs Enforcement student database. The school is connecting the

74
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 5>five students to on and off campus resources. Chancellor Raya

75
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.279

<v Speaker 5>the Office of Global Affairs if they get a call

79
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.959

<v Speaker 2>A former traveling nurse from New Hampshire is sentenced to

<v Speaker 2>three months in federal prison for stealing patients drugs. Fifty

<v Speaker 2>five year old Lorelei Lebroad pleading guilty in Boston federal

86
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.959
<v Speaker 2>court yesterday to siphoning more from patients supplies while she

87
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>was working at a rehab facility in Danvers. She worked

88
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>as a registered nurse for more than thirty years and

89
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 2>had a license in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The

90
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 2>AG's office says Lebron voluntarily gave up her New Hampshire

91
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>license back in twenty twenty one after being accused of

92
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>tampering with morphine bottles at a rehab center in Darry,

93
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.439

97
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 2>of sexual abuse. At one point, he was a spiritual

<v Speaker 2>Theodore McCarrick was ninety four years old. Hospitals, nursing homes,

101
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 2>and home healthcare agencies could take a hit from the

102
00:05:55.079 --> 00:06:00.879
<v Speaker 2>deportation of legal and undocumented migrants. Here CBS's Christopher to explain.

103
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 3>The study published in Jamma Network finds that deportations could

104
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 3>worsen already critical shortages of healthcare workers in the US.

105
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Doctor Stefi Woolhandler is one of the studies authors. To

106
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 3>my knowledge, there's no potential pool of workers who could

107
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 3>build these positions. Certainly, that's what the hospital executors are saying.

108
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 3>It's what the nursing home industry is saying. Researchers say

109
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 3>about four percent of staff at hospitals and outpatient settings

110
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 3>in the US, seven percent of nursing home workers, and

111
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 3>at least ten percent of personnel and home care agencies

112
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:36.399
