00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 1>Forty eight degrees say in Boston at four o'clock, good afternoon,

3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. A federal jadge ordering

4
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Tufts of student Ramesa oz Turk to be released from

5
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 1>ICE detention immediately. More from ABC's Stephen Portnoyd.

6
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 2>The Tufts University student was swept off the streets by

7
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.559
<v Speaker 2>masked ICE agents in March as neighbors nervously looked on.

8
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.399
<v Speaker 2>Trump administration officials say Romesa oz Turk lost her right

9
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>to remain in the US when she co wrote an

10
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.399
<v Speaker 2>op ed in her student newspaper urging Tufts to divest

11
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 2>from firms with ties to Israel. A federal judge in

12
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Vermont is now ruled she must be released on bond

13
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 2>from detention in Louisiana while her immigration case proceeds, saying

14
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>her jailing amounted to an egregious First Amendment violation. Stephen Portnoy,

15
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>ABC News, Washington.

16
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Massachusetts Senator Red Markey says the ruling is a victory

17
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>for Romesa, for justice, and for our democracy. Congress Minting

18
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>out of Presley writes she is so relieved Ostrk is

19
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>headed home and that she should have never been detained

20
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>in the first place. The thirteenth day of testimony in

21
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the Karent Reed murder trial had Massachusetts State Police Sergeant

22
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Jury Buchanic on the stand for hours being grilled by

23
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the defense. As WBZ Suzanne Sasville tells us, he admitted

24
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>to some things that could create reasonable doubt.

25
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.120
<v Speaker 3>Defense attorney Alan Jackson questioned Buchanic about the initial stages

26
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 3>of the investigation when evidence was recovered from where John

27
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.879
<v Speaker 3>O'Keeffe's body was found in the snow. He admitted that

28
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.159
<v Speaker 3>pieces of Reed's tail light weren't found initially.

29
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 2>No tail of material was found until after that, as

30
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>should be was in Massachusetts State Poe's customy.

31
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 4>I believe the first tail life piece was found after

32
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 4>it was in our custody.

33
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Buchanic said he later bagged pieces of plastic and glass,

34
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 3>but admitted to not filling out the label on the

35
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 3>evidence bag and not remembering who he handed it off to.

36
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 3>He also said the exact coordinates of where the evidence

37
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 3>was found were not documented.

38
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 5>You didn't do any plotting of cross coordinates.

39
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 6>I don't know how to do that.

40
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 3>Readers pleaded not guilty to killing O'Keeffe, and her attorneys

41
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 3>say she was framed. Suzanne Soolsville WBZ, Boston's news radio.

42
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 1>The Pentagon's ordered all military leaders to pull and review

43
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>all of their library books that addressed DEI. This is

44
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 1>the most detailed directive so far of Defense Secretary Pete

45
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Hegsas's Mission against Diversity in equity programs and policies. The

46
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>memos specifies books related to diversity, anti racism, or gender

47
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 1>issues must be reviewed. The new Pope celebrating his first

48
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Mass as pontiff inside the Sistine Chapel and Vatican City,

49
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the newly elected Pope Leo the fourteenth addressed the Congregation

50
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 1>of cardinals before is homily, giving remarks in English to

51
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 1>bless the congregation.

52
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 4>Peed not just with me, but with all of us,

53
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 4>my brother cardinals, as we celebrate this morning, I invite

54
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 4>you to recognize the marvels that the Lord has done,

55
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.479
<v Speaker 4>the blessings that the Lord continues to pour out upon

56
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 4>all of us.

57
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully, Oh the fourteenth first public Mass will be on

58
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>May eighteenth. Well, perhaps you've noticed we've had a lot

59
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>of rain lately, all that water helping to improve drought

60
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 1>conditions in Massachusetts. Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper

61
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 1>has declared the Central region downgraded from level one mild

62
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 1>drought to a level zero normal conditions. The Northeastern Islands

63
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>regions also lowered to a level one, bringing them in

64
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>line with the Connecticut River Valley, Southeast, and Western regions.

65
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>The worst part of the state Cape Region, which still

66
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>is at a level two significant drought. And even with

67
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the improvements, it doesn't mean you can leave the Spickett open.

68
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Secretary Tepper says, with the growing season underway and several

69
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>regions still facing long term dry conditions, let's continue, she says,

70
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 1>to do our part by following local water restrictions. We

71
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>do have some pretty heavy downpours that have been hanging

72
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>on Connecticut and Rhode Island specifically, but some of this

73
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 1>has been wrapping up and around, so we've got some

74
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>heavier rains down toward the south, sure, Boston call it

75
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>moderate rain. Same deal off to the west out to

76
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 1>about one twenty eight, little bit heavier stuff out into

77
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 1>central Massachusetts. And this is the deal we're going to

78
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.879
<v Speaker 1>be under for the next twelve fourteen, fifteen hours, where

79
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 1>various degrees of rain, some of it heavy at times,

80
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and some of it could cause some ponding on area

81
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 1>roadways and flooding. In fact, the floodwatches up for areas

82
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>west of four ninety five until eight o'clock tomorrow morning.

83
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 1>It's after that period we'll start to see the rain

84
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>taper off and we'll start to think about sunshine, and

85
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>by afternoon we may very well be seeing some sunshine.

86
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow sixty two for the high, partly cloudy tomorrow night,

87
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>low fifty three, and then on Mother's Day Sunday, some sunshine.

88
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Temperatures near seventy. We are right now at forty eight degrees.

89
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Stuck at forty eight degrees in Boston, a central Massachusetts

90
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 1>golf course has gone viral for shaking up the golf world.

<v Speaker 1>Of thebc's Jared Brosnan has more from Harvard.

92
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 7>Just regular golfers coming by, filming it, posted it, and

93
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 7>the thing just goes crazy with organic legs.

94
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.680
<v Speaker 6>That's Fred Curtis, the owner of Shaker Hills Country Club.

95
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 6>At heart, the only place where you can find a

96
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 6>golf cart drive through.

97
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 7>Really just set up for the thirsty golfer. We have

98
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 7>over twenty different types of Beers over here, soft drinks

99
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.839
<v Speaker 7>on this side, Hamburg's and huck Dogs. Next level, Baby, you.

100
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 6>Just pull right in, grab your stuff, and drive through

101
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 6>to the next hole where you tee off from a roof.

102
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 7>All the grass teaser intact, or you can choose to

103
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 7>mix it up with the inspiration of roofshot, which plays

104
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 7>to a double t box at two Downhill Part threes.

105
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 6>Since buying the course about a decade ago, Curtis tells

106
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 6>me he's always looking for ways to excite golfers.

107
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 7>I saw a lot of meat that was on the

108
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 7>table that the original architect had missed, and I thought

109
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 7>I could do something with it.

110
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.879
<v Speaker 6>From Harvard, I'm Jared Brosnan WBZ, Boston's news radio.

111
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 1>They call him the Truth, and former Celtics star Paul

112
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Pierce told the truth and stuck with his word. After

113
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.439
<v Speaker 1>his former team lost again to the Knicks this week, the.

114
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 5>Fox Sports one analyst said he would walk twenty miles

115
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 5>to work in his bathrobe if his former team lost

116
00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 5>to the Knicks in Game two of their playoff series

117
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 5>winsday night. They lost, so Pierce got up before dawn,

118
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 5>fired up his Instagram Live and started hooking.

119
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>It Okay, I got a long after day.

120
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 5>After seven hours, he jokingly arrived on the Senate Fox

121
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 5>in a wheelchair. Hobody, that's gonna aspire my Celtics and

122
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 5>we can get back in this series, man Pow.

125
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Mother's Day is Sunday, and a popular scam is targeting

126
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>those trying to celebrate the day. Boston scam trackers say

127
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 1>they've received several reports from shoppers who paid for grand

128
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 1>floral arrangements online to receive nothing in return. They say

129
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the last minute orders do show up sometimes, but are

130
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>often damaged or look nothing like the picture. To avoid

131
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>getting scammed, research the seller, they say, and see if

132
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 1>they have an accreditation, and read customer reviews and review

133
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 1>the seller's photos and dads, well, you can get mom

134
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 1>nothing for Mother's Day. Sure that'd go over big. You
