<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z Boston's news radio redefining local

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>news sixteen degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening at the Karen Reid retrial.

4
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>The jury's been hearing testimony for hours from medical examiner

5
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>doctor Irene Scordi Bellow. She determined that John O'Keefe's death

6
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 1>was caused by blunt force trauma and hypothermia, but she

7
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.719
<v Speaker 1>did not determine a manner of death. During cross examination,

8
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.439
<v Speaker 1>the defense asked her about injuries to O'Keefe's arm.

9
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Is it correct that you, in your autopsy report did

10
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 2>not determine the cause of those wounds to mister O'Keefe's radar.

11
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Speaker 3>That's correct.

12
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.159
<v Speaker 1>The defense argues that the injuries could have been from

13
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>a dog bite. The Supreme Court's heard arguments over the

14
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.439
<v Speaker 1>authority of judges to block President Trump's executive order ending

15
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 1>birthright citizenship. The order would deny citizenship to children born

16
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.759
<v Speaker 1>in the US to parents here illegally. ABC Steven Portnoy

17
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>has more.

18
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 3>The immediate question for the justices is whether district court

19
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 3>judges should have the power to block the President's order nationwide,

20
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 3>or whether more opponents should have to file more lawsuits.

21
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 3>Liberal Justice Katanji Brown Jackson, So the administration appears to

22
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 3>be playing catch me if you can, where everybody has

23
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.480
<v Speaker 3>to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order

24
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 3>for the government to stop violating people's rights. Conservative Justice

25
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 3>Brett Kavanaugh appeared to worry about the implications of a

26
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 3>win for the administration.

27
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be suits filed all over the place

28
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 1>seeking class wide treatment.

29
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Stephen Portnoy ABC News Washington. There are new estimates from

30
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 3>the Census Bureau. The Joe, Massachusetts population grew by nearly

31
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 3>seventy thousand from twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four.

32
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 3>It's partly due to record levels of internal migration. Secretary

33
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 3>of State Bill Gavin says it illustrates the importance of

34
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 3>ensuring all residents are counted in the next federal census.

35
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Because of the state's largest immigrant population in the city

36
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>of Revere, experience the most population gross tount that sought decreases,

37
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>mostly in western Massachusetts and Barnstable County. American consumers were

38
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 1>spending last month trying to beat the price hikes expected

39
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to come from the President's tariffs on imported goods.

40
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 4>Retail sales last month came in a tenth of a

41
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 4>percent above March, according to the Census Bureau, down from

42
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 4>the one point four percent surge in February. Sales of

43
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 4>cars and trucks slew dramatically from one month to the next. Separately,

44

<v Speaker 4>the Labor Department reports that weekly jobless claims were unchanged

45
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.520

47
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 1>food Aid could increase the Massachusetts share of the program's

48
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 1>costs by hundreds of millions of dollars a year, so

49
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>says Governor Morri Healey, who warned members of Congress in

50
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>a letter. The governor wrote to leaders of the House

51
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Agriculture Committee, contending that potential changes to the Supplemental Nutrition

52
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Assistance Program, or SNAP, would shift significant costs to states

53
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 1>that they did not plan for and cannot afford. The

54
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Agriculture Committee this week advanced a bill that could cut

55
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>up the three hundred billion dollars in federal spending on SNAP.

56
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 1>We've been watching all of this rain and shower activity.

57
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 1>There's been a few breakaway showers that have gotten closer

58
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to Boston, but most of the activities off to the west.

59
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 1>As promised. There was this cell that popped up and

60
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>ran through Boston Harbor. Well, we said it would hit

61
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>in the hot and lin and it is now hitting

62
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the hot and linn and swamps good with a little

63
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>bit of rain. It's not a big cell, but nonetheless,

64
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>if you're under it, maybe the umbrella needs to come up.

65
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 1>It's out to the west where we're really seeing some

66
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 1>heavy downpours Wayland, Natick, Framingham, Ashland. Back towards Southborough and Molborough,

67
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>there's been some heavier rain. Not going to name all

68
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 1>the towns of course you know where you live, but

69
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>there is some rain, shower activity and even some heavier

70
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.599
<v Speaker 1>stuff back toward Worcester. A lot of this is lifting

71
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 1>off to the north. There's still a bunch of heavier

72
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 1>rain out along the Turnpike and Brimfield stir Bridge out

73
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 1>toward the eighty four exchange, but this is pushing off

74
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>this precipitation again to the north, up toward Levenster, Fitchbury,

75
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>up along the Route two corridor. So something to watch

76
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>out for here four ninety five corridor, especially the more

77
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 1>central part of it has been under some of this rain,

78
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 1>so that's what we're dealing with this afternoon. Eventually we'll

79
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 1>stop dealing with it and just have some clouds and fog.

80
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.719
<v Speaker 1>Tonight fifty eight for the low. Tomorrow, we're into the seventies.

81
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>There'll be some clouds and fog to start. There'll be

82
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>some clouds hanging on through the day. There may be

83
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 1>a stray afternoon shower as well, and then a rather

84
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>cloudy night Tomorrow night as stray shower as possible. Saturday,

85
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 1>some sunshinel breakout. We'll get in on some pretty okay

86
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>weather for a while, but still some thundershower activity that

87
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 1>may get in here, especially afternoon on Saturday. Temperatures near seventy,

88
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 1>mid seventies for some of us on Sunday, with some

89
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>sun and some clouds and still the risk of a

90
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 1>scattered shower. Right now, we're at sixty degrees in Boston.

94
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 5>There are nine campuses in the state university system, and

95
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 5>this educator alumni Awards ceremony was to honor nine educators

96
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 5>who graduated from the system's teacher Preparation program. One of

97
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 5>those honored was Geene Wallace, a mass College of Art graduate,

<v Speaker 5>more than twenty years. Her advice to any young would

100
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 5>be teachers.

101
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 6>You really have to love what you're doing to be good,

102
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 6>because if you cannot underestimate the amount of effort and

103
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 6>time that goes into teaching outside of the classroom time

104
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.279
<v Speaker 6>and so you have to be invested. You have to

105
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 6>really really want that.

106
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 5>You have to love what you're doing, Love what you're

107
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 5>doing well. The eight others honored have different fields of expertise,

108
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 5>they all have that one thing in common, a love
