00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Sixty seven degrees in Boston. It is four o'clock on

2
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Friday afternoon. Good to be with you as we try

3
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>to get into the weekend. Here I'm Nicole Davis, and

4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>here's what's happening. It is closing time on Wall Street.

5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>A bit of mercy, thankfully for markets that have been

6
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.519
<v Speaker 1>struggling for two days now, all thanks to the tariff

7
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.079
<v Speaker 1>announcement and much more. Let's get the rundown from Tracy Jonkie.

8
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 1>She's over Bloomberg Business. Tracy, how did everything shake out today?

9
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Not well, Nicole. The Dow dropped two thousand and two

10
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 2>thirty one, the Nasdaq down nine hundred and sixty three,

11
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>SMBs down three twenty two. The numbers are still settling,

12
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 2>but this is pretty close to what will get in

13
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.079
<v Speaker 2>the end. Only two days have been worse for the

14
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Dow in its history as far as the point losses go.

15
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 2>Both days were five years ago, right at the beginning

16
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 2>of the COVID pandemic, shutdowns and mass layoffs. And here

17
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 2>come the bears. The Nasdaq is now officially in a

18
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>bear market, which means it has tumbled more than twenty

19
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>percent since its most recent record.

20
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Nicole, all right, Tracy. As those numbers shake out,

21
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 1>We'll come right back to you at four oh eight

22
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>in Bloomberg Business for more information. But yes, a rough

23
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>day on the markets. We will keep an eye on

24
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.519
<v Speaker 1>that throughout the next couple of weeks here on WBZ.

25
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.239

33
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 3>held at an immigration facility. Now, a federal judge in

34
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 3>Boston has ordered that her case be moved from Louisiana

35
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 3>to Vermont because that is where she was being held

36
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 3>at the time her lawyers filed the petition seeking her release. However,

37
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.239
<v Speaker 3>oz Turk's lawyers argued that her case should be handled

38
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 3>in Massachuse, while government attorneys disagreed. The judge says Osturch's

39

43
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>its efforts to dismantle agencies funding public libraries and museums.

44
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 1>The Institute of Museum and Library Services had to place

45
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>nearly its entire staff on leave after one of President

46
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Trump's most recent executive orders. Other targeted agencies provide support

47
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 1>for minority owned businesses. Campbell and other attorneys general around

48
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.800

49

52
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.159

00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 4>but more time is needed to finalize it. Citing national

56
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 4>security concerns. Congress and mandated TikTok be divested from Chinese

57
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.599
<v Speaker 4>ownership by January nineteenth, or it would have been barred

58
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.360

102
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to education, the state's congressional delegation and

103
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.759
<v Speaker 1>Governor Mori Healy teaming up in a new letter to

104
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration, saying the clawback of millions in education

105
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>funding for public schools is quote harmful and incredibly frustrating

106
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 1>to local students, families, educators, and district leaders. In a

107
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 1>new letter, they say the about face on the funding

108
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>is quote an insult to the hardworking educator's, school staff,

109
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and public officials around the state dedicated to providing students

110
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the best possible opportunity. This comes days after the Education

111
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Department rolled back more than one hundred million dollars in

112
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>COVID RELYEF funds for base state schools. These days, it

113
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>is hard to imagine a world without Microsoft, But it

114
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>was fifty years ago today when it was just an

115
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 1>idea first coming to life.

116
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 6>High school buddies Bill Gates and Paul Allen called their

117
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.759
<v Speaker 6>company Microsoft, short for micro computer Software. They went on

118
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 6>to develop the ms DOS operating system for IBMPC compatible

119
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.839
<v Speaker 6>personal computers. Then came Windows, a game changer that turned

120
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 6>Gates into one of the richest people in the world.

121
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.720
<v Speaker 6>Their goal from the beginning was to put a computer

122
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 6>on every desk and in every home. They did that

123
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 6>and much more. Christopher Cruz, CBS News four.
