00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:05.599
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio re defining

2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>local news eighty five degrees in Boston at four o'clock.

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Good afternoon, I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. A mixed

4
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>outcome that the Sean Diddy Combs trial in New York.

5
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>The music mogul was convicted, but not of the most

6
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>serious charges against him.

7
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Sean Diddy Combs was convicted of a prostitution related offense

8
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.839
<v Speaker 2>for flying his girlfriends and paid male escorts around the

9
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>country to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of

10
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 2>the Federal Man Act, but he was acquitted on the

11
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.719
<v Speaker 2>most serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering at his

12
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>New York trial. The mixed result could still put Combs

13
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>behind bars for up to a decade from the start.

14
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 2>His lawyers have said they would appeal. While the verdict

15
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.399
<v Speaker 2>was being read, did he turn to his family sitting

16
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 2>behind him and made a prayer sign with his hands,

17
00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>bowing his head. Then, as he was being let out

18
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.479
<v Speaker 2>of the courtroom by Marshalls, his family, including his mother

19
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>and children, stood up and applauded as he faced them.

20
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 2>They also clapped for his lawyers, who were hugging one

21
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 2>another at court in Manhattan. I'm Julie Walker.

22
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 1>The judge in the case. Meantime, is expected to rule

23
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 1>at five o'clock this afternoon on whether or not to

24
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>release Combs on bail. WBC News Radio We'll continue to

25
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>monitor and bring you in the latest. Don't forget. You

26
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 1>can always catch us streaming on the iHeartRadio app. The

27
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>House now has the Senate pass tax cut and spending bill.

28
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Like in the Senate, Democrats are not impressed. Massachusetts Congressman

29
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Jim McGovern says, they're you're noted against it.

30
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>We will not stand by and watch Trump and his

31
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>billionaire friends destroy this country without putting up one hell

32
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>of a fight.

33
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>House Republicans have been working toward a final vote, daring

34
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 1>critics to oppose. Texas Republican Jody Errington says, this bill

35
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>increases funding from border security, which is what his constituents

36
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>have been demanding. It is the most.

37
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Eminent national security threat to the country, and the last

38
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 3>president did not faithfully uphold the laws of land.

39
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 1>The bill would extend and make permitted various individual and

40
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>business tax breaks that Republican passed in the president's first term.

41
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 1>Plus temporarily add new tax breaks, such as no income

42
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>taxes on tips and over time. President Trump says the

43
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>US has reached a new trade deal with Vietnam.

44
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 4>The deal includes a minimum twenty percent tariff on Vietnam

45
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 4>made products, as well as an agreement by Vietnam to

46
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 4>open its markets to US products, including SUVs. Vietnam is

47
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 4>a major producer of shoes and clothing, so the prices

48
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 4>of those items could likely be affected. The deal also

49
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 4>includes a forty percent tariff on trans shipping, or the

50
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 4>rooting of goods through a third country. President Trump had

51
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 4>promised an even higher tariff of forty six percent against Vietnam

52
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 4>if a deal was not reached by his July ninth deadline.

<v Speaker 4>Lindy Kenyon, CBS News, The.

54
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 1>White House, five New England states, including Massachusetts, are part

55
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>of a coalition of twenty states filing a lawsuit challenging

56
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Health and Human Services decision to allow

57
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Homeland Security, including ICE, access to individual personal health data.

58
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 1>In the lawsuit, filed in Northern District Court of California,

59
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the attorneys general argue the mass transfer of the data

60
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>violates the law. Attorney General Andrea Campbell says disclosing individual's

61
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 1>private health data for the purpose of immigration enforcement puts

62
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 1>lives at risk. The Trump administration has argued the sharing

63
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of data is legal and will ensure federally funded Medicaid

64
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>benefits are reserved for US citizens. Checking the four day

65
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>w THEBC Active Weather Forecast, we've had an okay day.

66
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 1>There's been some clouds, a couple of showers towards the

67
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Capan Islands earlier, but we've been in pretty good shape

68
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.439
<v Speaker 1>really around the area with just those clouds here and there.

69
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Temperatures today getting well into the eighties. Tonight will fall

70
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>back to about seventy and eventually become mainly clear, a

71
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit cooler, mid sixties inland. Tomorrow we heat up

72
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>ninety degrees, so a hot day with some sunshine. That'll

73
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>lead to a few thunderstorms, maybe a couple of gusty

74
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 1>ones through the afternoon and evening tomorrow, and then we'll

75
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 1>have mostly clear skies lad tomorrow night, temperatures in the

76
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>upper sixties. Friday, it is the fourth of July, they

77
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>call it that because it's the fourth of July, also

78
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Independence Day. It'll be in the mid eighties with mostly

79
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 1>sunny skies for whatever it is you've got planned partly

80
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>sunny on Saturday, Temperatures in the mid to upper eighties

81
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 1>and then ninety not out of the question for some

82
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>of us. On Sunday with some sunshine. It is eighty

83
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>five degrees right now in Boston. The Bruins made some

84
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 1>high profile draft picks this year, but wbs's Kyle Bray

85
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>caught up with one that got under the radar.

86
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 5>Dashech Glenar's journey to Boston has had many twists and turns.

87
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 5>He was born in Colorado, moved to Chechia, He then

88
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.040
<v Speaker 5>quit hockey and picked it back up again, and then

89
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 5>moved to Sweden. But one constant in his life has

90
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 5>been his love of the Bruins. He's been a lifelong

91
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 5>fan since his dad would wake him up at two

92
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 5>in the morning to watch games.

93
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 3>You used to get haircuts with the side of my

94
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 3>head right here to a little Boston logo and yeah,

95
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 3>I had everything, still have my hat. I think he's

96
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 3>like ten years old.

97
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 5>But now he gets to play for his favorite team,

98
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 5>after the Bruins, after them one hundredth overall is a

99
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 5>relatively unknown prospect. Now he has the chance to play

100
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 5>alongside check legends like David Posternak.

101
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.079
<v Speaker 3>I would be in a dream, right, Yeah. It took

102
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 3>the same route as him, so smedia basically and end

103
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 3>up in the same line. Probably that'll be awesome.

104
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 5>From Brighton Kyle Bray, WBZ Boston's News Radio.

105
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>A government minister in Australia says, nay to yay. The

106
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:27.199
<v Speaker 1>former rapper known as Kanye West recently stripped of an

107
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Australian visa after he released the single Hyle Hitler earlier

108
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>this year. The Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says the song,

109
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>released in May, promoted Nazism. It's been criticizing criticized for

110
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>an anti Semitic tribute to Adolf Hitler. The minister says, quote,

111
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>we have enough problems in this country already without deliberately

112
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>importing bigotry. You are now in the loop for news
