00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Sonny and seventy six degrees in Boston at eleven o'clock.

2
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Good Saturday Morning's June twenty First, I'm Sherry Small. Here's

3
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>what's happening. This verse full day of summer will be

4
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a hot one.

5
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 2>Today brings sunshine, some clouds at times, and a warm

6
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:21.679
<v Speaker 2>but not very humid start to the weekend with a

7
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:23.160
<v Speaker 2>high a round eighty five.

8
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>At you Weather Meteorologist LaTroy Thornton. The full forecast coming up,

9
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 1>and we'll tell you about an extreme heat warning that

10
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>will be in effect starting tomorrow. Governor Mora Heally offers

11
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>her thoughts about the results of Karen Reid's second murder trial.

12
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 3>The trio ran its course, and so you know, I

13
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:47.079
<v Speaker 3>always reflect on the family of John O'Keefe and feel

14
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:48.039
<v Speaker 3>very sorry for them.

15
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Governor Mora Healy reacting to the juries not guilty verdict

16
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.439
<v Speaker 2>in the second degree murder retrial of Karen Reid read

17
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 2>convicted on a drunk driving charge but acquitted of second

18
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 2>degree murder and other serious charges.

19
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.079
<v Speaker 3>The colminal justice system has run its course and there

20
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 3>is finality in that, and my best to members of

21
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 3>the O'Keefe family.

22
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.400
<v Speaker 2>The verdict leaves unanswered the question of whether there will

23
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>be a new investigation into the death of Officer John O'Keefe.

24
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>District Attorney Michael Morrissey has yet to respond to that question.

25
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Mike Maclin WBZ, Boston's News radio right, he's.

26
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>Not off the hook. The Suffolk County DA's office planning

27
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to retry Irish firefighter Terence Crosby for rape. A mistrial

28
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>was declared in his first trial yesterday. He's accused of

29
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 1>raping a woman in a Boston hotel room last year.

30
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Suffolk Assistant District Attorney Erin Murphy says a thirty eight

31
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>year old from Dublin will be retried in October. Crosby

32
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 1>is accused of raping the woman in a room at

33
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 1>the Omni Parker House hotel, which he shared with another

34
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>firefighter back in March of twenty twenty four. Both men

35
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>in Boston for Saint Patrick's Day celebrations. We must remain

36
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 1>here in Massachusetts, and we're a GPS monitor.

37
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 4>All right.

38
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Expect some major delays on the Pike this weekend.

39
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 5>The Pike will be down to one lane in both

40
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 5>directions this weekend on the Newton Weston stretch. That's Exit

41
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 5>one twenty three to one to twenty five to be exact.

42
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 5>It's the second phase of its kind in this bridge

43
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 5>replacement project, and Mascot says this weekend offers the lightest

44
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.199
<v Speaker 5>traffic of the summer.

45
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 6>We expect that it's going to be lower volumes anyways,

46
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.840
<v Speaker 6>but really we want to get the message out.

47
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be impactful.

48
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Use your mapping apisodes.

49
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:33.719
<v Speaker 6>They are going to help get you around.

50
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.560
<v Speaker 5>The commuter rail and amtract will also be closed in

51
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 5>this stretch, but bus services will replace it. Mass Doot

52
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 5>says the first round of this a few weeks ago

53
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 5>offer delays of over an hour, but that's mainly because

54
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 5>people stayed off the roads. They are warning of delays

55
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 5>of up to three hours if people don't heed the warning.

56
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 2>If you don't have to be traveling through there, please don't,

57
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>and if you do, leave yourself a lot of extra

58
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>time to get.

59
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 6>Where you're going.

60
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 5>These lane reductions are going to be in place through

61
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 5>the weekend. Will remove them Monday morning.

62
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>At five and now the four d A WBC ACU

63
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>weather forecast. It's going to be warm today, not too humid,

64
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 1>but high's bumping to about eighty three to eighty seven

65
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 1>degrees of our seventies to low eighties for the capein

66
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Islands tonight a low of just seventy one, and then

67
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>parts of the area will have a thunderstorm late tonight

68
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and tomorrow morning. Sunday. Tomorrow, it's going to get hot

69
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>and more humid, a high of ninety four. We'll see

70
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>partly sunny skies breezy, and then on Monday, more sun

71
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 1>than clouds, very hot and humid, eighty four to eighty

72
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>eight in the low to mid nineties in those western

73
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 1>suburbs again, seventies on the Cape in the Islands Tuesday,

74
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>we could break a record when it comes to the heat.

75
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 1>We'll see, let's see ninety eight is the expected high.

76
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>The record set in twenty thirteen was ninety five. Right

77
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>now at seventy six in sunny and Boston at eleven

78
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 1>o six. Back to News Boston, rats are carrying some

79
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>dangerous bacteria, potentially harmful to humans and pets. WBC's Madison

80
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Rogers to explain.

81
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.199
<v Speaker 4>Researchers at Tough School of Veterinary Medicine put out a

82
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 4>six year study tracking the way rats scamper through the

83
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 4>city and what health risks may be hitching a ride.

84
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 4>The result the first confirmation that Boston rats are spreading leptospirosis.

85
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.759
<v Speaker 4>Lepto is a potentially deadly disease for humans, dogs, and

86
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 4>other animals. Scientists looked at hundreds of rat kidney samples

87
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 4>from seventeen sites in Boston. Twelve of those sites had

88
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:43.000
<v Speaker 4>Rodent's test positive for leptospiro bacteria. They also looked at

89
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 4>a human lepto case from twenty eighteen and determined their

90
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 4>strong evidence that the source was a rat. Human exposure

91
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 4>is still uncommon, but Bostonians living on the streets are

92
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 4>at greater risk. Madison Rogers WBZ, Boston's news radio.

93
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 1>The town of Milton moving cl also to compliance with

94
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the MBTA Communities Act, which is the law requiring cities

95
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.079
<v Speaker 1>in towns with t service to zone for multifamily housing

96
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 1>in designated districts. After debating the issue over a two

97
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.439
<v Speaker 1>day period of the town voted sixty nine to thirty

98
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 1>one percent to move forward and will comply. As many

99
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>as twenty four hundred new units of housing will be

100
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>made available. The MBTA Communities Act requires one hundred and

101
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven MBTA communities to zone for multifamily housing. There

102
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>are still approximately thirty communities that remain out of compliance.

103
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 1>Iran launching new strikes on Israel overnight, but in Israeli

104
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>military officials says there are no indications of any missile impacts.

105
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 6>About two thirty am, the air rate sirens sounded across

106
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 6>Israel and there were reports of five ballistic missiles having

107
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 6>been fired from Iran. We're told that they were all

108
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 6>successfully intercepted, but that some falling shrapnel had caused some

109
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 6>damage and had set fire to the roof of at

110
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.079
<v Speaker 6>least one building not far from Tel Aviv. So there

111
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 6>is still an exchange of fire. There is still damage

112
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 6>being caused, but we don't understand that where any casualties.

113
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 1>That's the BBC's Dan Johnson. Meanwhile, Israel says it killed

114
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 1>three senior members of Iran's military. You are now in
