00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:09.039
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio redefining local news seventy

2
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>one degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon. I'm

3
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. May during now excuse to

4
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the day at the Karen Reid red trial in Denham,

5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>had a Knowles with the vast State Police crime Lab

6
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.679
<v Speaker 1>finished up testifying this afternoon. She had calculated how drunk

7
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.399
<v Speaker 1>read would have been when she allegedly hit John o'keef

8
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 1>with her SUV.

9
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.880
<v Speaker 2>So you calculated the defendants blood alcohol concentration to be

10
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.920
<v Speaker 2>between point one four and point two eight at twelve

11
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>forty five am on January twenty ninth, twenty twenty two.

12
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Is that correct?

13
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes. During cross examination, the defense points out her calculations

14
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 1>were based on testing that was done by a third

15
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>party hospital.

16
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 4>Basically, you cannot personally vouch for the ethanol testing that

17
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:54.679
<v Speaker 4>was performed at Good Samarian.

18
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Correct, that's accurate.

19
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Speaker 5>The reliability of the results that my calculations were based on.

20
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 4>My calculations are only as good as the numbers that

21
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 4>I was provided.

22
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Court will resume in Norfolk Superior Court on Monday. We're

23
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 1>expecting a full week of testimony next week. Another promise

24
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 1>from the President to take away federal dollars from Harvard University,

25
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 1>WBC's jabal Letts and Cambridge with reaction.

26
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 6>Things are on campus that don't function like they used

27
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 6>to because they can't because if nobody. Students at Harvard

28
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 6>say they're constantly checking headlines in the school's ongoing feud

29
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.159
<v Speaker 6>with President Trump. I think it's a shame. You know.

30
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 4>I know a lot of people personally affected by it.

31
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I know researchers who can't do research.

32
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:37.439
<v Speaker 3>I almost I have a research job.

33
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 4>I almost didn't get the job.

34
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 6>At the crack of dawn. The President says in his

35
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 6>truth social account that he will rescind Harvard's tax exempt status,

36
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 6>saying it's what they deserve. The Crimson responds in a

37
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 6>statement saying, not only does the Commander in Chief not

38
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.239
<v Speaker 6>have the legal basis to do so, the move would

39
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 6>swipe billions in financial aid and research funding.

40
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Some of my money is being paid for privately by

41
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 1>a Professor's.

42
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 6>Battle began not long after President Trump regained the office.

43
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 6>He accuses Harvard of doing little to condemn anti semitism

44
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 6>on campus. In Cambridge, JWILLTWBZ Boston's News radio.

45
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>President Trump's twenty twenty six budget plan would slash non

46
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.319
<v Speaker 1>defense domestics spending by one hundred and sixty three billion dollars,

47
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 1>while national security spending would increase. It's according to statements

48
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>released by the White House today, the budget shows a

49
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 1>desire to reign in diversity programs and initiatives to address

50
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>climate change. However, the administration has yet to release details

51
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>on what it wants income taxes, tariffs, or the budget

52
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>deficit to be. It's been a tough flu season and

53
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>more deadly than it's been in the past fifteen years,

54
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>especially for children.

55
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 5>The CDC says two hundred and sixteen children died of

56
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 5>the flu this season, the highest number since the swine

57
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 5>flu pandemic in twenty nine to ten. The number could

58
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 5>go even higher. Last year's flu season wasn't counted fully

59
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 5>until autumn. Pediatricians say one big reason for fatalities is

60
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 5>fewer kids are getting flu shots. Less than half of

61
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.240
<v Speaker 5>all children got vaccinated against the flu this season, down

62
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 5>from sixty four percent five years ago.

63
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:07.840
<v Speaker 1>That is ABC's Sherry Preston. Beginning Wednesday, history gets underway

64
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>in Vatican City, the College of cardinals will meet in

65
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>conclave to select a new pope. Preparations today going up

66
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 1>in smoke, so to speak, the installation of the chimney

67
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>out of the Sistine Chapel that will signal AA or

68
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>nay when it comes to the election of the new Pope.

69
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>And mostly cloudy skies as we head into the evening tonight.

70
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 1>There could be a straight thundershower later on. Not much

71
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.199
<v Speaker 1>around here now in terms of precipitation, in fact, nothing

72
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 1>at all. The precipitation is back off into New York State,

73
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 1>so anything that does survive the trip will take a

74
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>while to get here. There's some precipitation that's crossed over

75
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>into Vermont now, but that's a little bit further up

76
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 1>to the north, so we'll see how the night progresses.

77
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Most of us will stay dry most of the time,

78
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 1>at least sixty for the low tonight, and then intervals

79
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of clouds at sun Tomorrow. It will be breezy, it

80
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>will be warm, it will be humid. Temperatures will get

81
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 1>into the eighties and the warmest spots and will fire

82
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 1>off a couple of thundershowers and storms in the afternoon.

83
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 1>Some of those could have flooding downpours and strong gusty winds.

84
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Temperatures will be only in the sixties over the south

85
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>coast Capean Islands, and then close to sixty for the

86
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>low Tomorrow night with a couple of showers lingering. Someday

87
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>we're in the mid sixties in Boston, maybe close to

88
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>seventy inland with clouds and some showers, and then Monday

89
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a chill in the air fifty two to fifty six

90
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 1>for the high clouds with some rain and drizzle. Right

91
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 1>now it is seventy one degree see in Boston. A

92
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>musician from the South Shore hits the road with family

93
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.199
<v Speaker 1>on his mind. W Buzy's DRUMO Holland with the tail.

94

95
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Little piece on tour right now with the band sticks,

96
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 3>playing sold out venues in the Midwest. But he has

97
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.480
<v Speaker 3>been reluctant to tour in recent weeks because last month

98
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 3>he went to check in on his dad and found

99
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 3>him on the floor. Dad had had a freak accident

100
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.519
<v Speaker 3>a fall and broke his neck and been laying there

101
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.879
<v Speaker 3>for fourteen hours. Weeks later, now, mister Passaros has got

102
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 3>some feeling back at his feet, his grip is showing

103
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 3>signs of life. Jay's mother and others have told Jay

104
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 3>to get back out there play your music. Mister Pesaro's

105
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.639
<v Speaker 3>is a fighter and actually the guy's more used to

106
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 3>acting as his son's roady tour in the country. Needless

107
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.560
<v Speaker 3>to say, the two are very close. Jay calls him

108
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.360
<v Speaker 3>as Superman. J Pisaros would like to thank everybody for

109
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.879
<v Speaker 3>the support and just asked that everyone out there hugged

110
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:21.120
<v Speaker 3>their loved ones. J Pisaros, the Pasaro's family thinking about

111
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.120
<v Speaker 3>you all here and pulling for dad. Drue moholland WBZ

114
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Starbucks is making changes with its sales slowing.

115
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 4>The coffee chain is cutting back on automation and we'll

116
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 4>hire more baristas instead to give its restaurants a more

117
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 4>human touch. Starbucks has been testing new technology called Siren

118
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 4>at some of its stores to make it easier for

119
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 4>employees to make drinks and food, but the chain has

120
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.519
<v Speaker 4>decided adding baristas will work better. The company is also

121
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 4>working on a new algorithm to lower its in store

125
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>than a decade in storage. The slab of Brooklyn wall

126
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 1>covered with graffiti is going to be auctioned off later

127
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>this month. Some proceeds will be going to the American

128
