<v Speaker 2>make it through four consecutive days of waking up and

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.760

<v Speaker 2>a bad hair day. More clouds and sun today.

<v Speaker 2>Their rain is going to kick off the weekend. Could

15
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Speaker 2>be a super soaker overnight tonight into the early hours

16
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow before it begins to clear out. Atlantic hurricane season

17
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 2>is going to kick off this weekend. It starts on Sunday.

18
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Forecasters will keep their eyes in the ear peeled for Andrea,

19
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>the first named stormed of the year. In the Atlantic,

20
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>it is yet to form, of course, but in the Pacific,

21
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 2>the annual hurricane season gets a two week head start,

22
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>and the first named tropical storm is Alvin that bears

23
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 2>watching in the Pacific this morning. Experts say the Atlantic

24
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.879
<v Speaker 2>hurricane season is expected to be slightly above average conditions

25
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 2>this year, with up to nineteen named storms between now

26
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 2>and November thirtieth rematch, It's the Oilers and the Panthers

27
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>in the Stanley Cup Final. After Edmonton sends the Stars

28
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>off to summer vacation, the Knicks live to see another day.

29
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 2>In this case, it's Game six against the Indiana Pacers

30
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>of the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals, and the Red Sox

31
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>are on the road in hopes of stopping a four

32
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>game slide with a weekend series beginning tonight in Atlanta.

<v Speaker 2>Live Nation says everyone is saved after two superstar concerts

34
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 2>kicking off the Fenway Summer Concert series are suddenly canceled.

35
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 3>The structural integrity of the stage set up at Fenway

36
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 3>failed to meet standards, so much so Shakira, Jason Eldan,

37
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 3>and the superstar duo Brooks and Dunn were left on

38
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:04.840
<v Speaker 3>the bench.

39
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>You wonder with the costs of everything, especially concerts, what

40
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>the hell they don't have somebody building the stage, right,

41
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, I can't imagine. I mean,

42
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 1>we're talking millions.

43
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 3>Ralph over here has heard of concerts getting canceled because

44
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 3>singers get sick, lose their voice, or many other reasons,

45
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.560
<v Speaker 3>but an unsafe stage hasn't been one of them.

46
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Something they planned for three or four months or a

47
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 1>year ahead of time, they can't pull it off. That's absurd.

48
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 3>But at the end of the day, safety comes first

49
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 3>for performers and the fans. At Benway, James Rojas w

51
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Radio, refunds for both concerts are on the way, and

52
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 2>wbz's Drew mo'holland, who watches a lot of things regarding

53
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 2>the music scene here in Greater Boston, you were just

54
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>having conversations about these stage setups. What did you learn?

55
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 4>So just last weekend, right, I was at Boston calling

56
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 4>and I got to see these guys putting up these stages,

57
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 4>and I'm just like, it is a massive project, really,

58
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 4>and they're talking about They're like, yeah, not only you

59
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 4>know to build these things, but also you know you

60
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 4>got to go through these safety checks and check it

61
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 4>time and time and time again and pass all these inspections.

62
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 4>And it is hard, hard work. And that guy is right,

63
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 4>that James was just talking to you there. I mean

64
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 4>the amount of money that goes into putting these shows on.

65
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 4>I mean, this is a massive money loss here that's

66
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.039
<v Speaker 4>going on right now, certainly is. And yeah, all this preparation.

67
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 4>Of course, the fans all in town right.

68
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Not to mention the businesses outside Fenway Park as well.

69
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a tough hit for everybody. But first, of course,

70
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.759
<v Speaker 2>all right, droom, thank you. We're going to get started

71
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>this Friday morning, under partly to mostly cloudy skies. It

72
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 2>is a warm sixty degrees out the door, and it's

73
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 2>also going to be a little bit on the sticky

74
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>side today. The humidity levels will be on the rise throughout.

75
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 2>It is going to be overall a warm day with

76
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>the mostly cloudy skies, maybe some sunshine throughout the latter

77
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>stages of the morning into the afternoon, but we can't

78
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>rule out the possibility of a shower or two. I mean,

79
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you know the drill. If you have been in these

80
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.960
<v Speaker 2>parts for any length of time, you know that that's

81
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>pretty much a daily occurrence. As we turn the weather warmer.

82
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Temperatures will be in the mid seventies today. Overnight tonight,

83
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:09.599
<v Speaker 2>some shower is going to move into the area. This

84
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 2>could be a super soaker system moving in late tonight

85
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>and to the early hours tomorrow. It looks like the

86
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 2>bunk of the rain will be focused on central and

87
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 2>western Massachusetts. However, most of the area will be seeing

88
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 2>some precipitation tomorrow, and this will mark the eleventh or

89
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 2>twelfth consecutive weekend that Greater Boston has seen some precipitation.

90
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 2>You have to go back to early March for the

91
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>last completely clear weekend here in the eastern part of Massachusetts.

92
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 2>But it's going to move out. The system will move

93
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 2>out relatively early tomorrow. We will see some sunshine hopefully Tomorrow.

94
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Afternoon temperatures again will be right around seventy and a

95
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 2>much better day on Sunday to wrap up the weekend,

96
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>early clouds give way to some sunshine, breezy conditions in

97
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>the mid sixties. Right now in Boston, it is sixty

98
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>under partly to mostly cloudy skies. At six oh six

99
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>on this Friday morning, the defense gets the case the

100
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Karen Read ale. The prosecution rests after Reid's lawyers light

101
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 2>into the state's final witness, The.

102
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 5>Sense attorney Robert Alessi, questioned Welter about glass found near

103
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 5>John O'Keeffe's body and on the bumper of Reed's suv.

104
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 5>You have no basis as you sit here today to

105
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 5>conclude that the glass on the bumper came from a

106
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 5>drinking glass connected to mister O'Keeffe.

107
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.040
<v Speaker 6>Do you well, We have a picture of a broken

108
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 6>glass at the scene, so I wouldn't say we have

109
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:27.199
<v Speaker 6>no basis.

110
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 2>We don't necessarily have enough to conclude it's from it Thome.

111
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 5>But then things seem to get personal between a Lessie

112
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 5>and Welter, at least that's how Alessie took it.

113
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 3>You're on a He.

114
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 4>Keeps referencing my hand in saying I'm doing something when

115
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm not, and I think that's distracting to the jury.

116
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm not interrupting, don hold On.

117
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 5>The state played one less clip of Read during a

118
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 5>television interview before resting. It's now the defense's case. Suzanne

<v Speaker 2>on the Justice Department.

122
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.759

123
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 6>order an end to Google's lucrative deals with Apple and

124
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.360

00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 6>fight comes at a pivotal time for Google. It's dealing
