00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.640

4
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.640
<v Speaker 2>not been seated for Karen Reid's second trial. After nearly

5
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.039
<v Speaker 2>two weeks of jury selection in Denham, eighteen jurors have

6
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.440
<v Speaker 2>been seated, evenly split among men and women. Nearly six

7
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.640
<v Speaker 2>hundred potential jurors had been called to Norfolk Superior Court

8
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 2>over the course of ten days. Sixteen jurors were already

9
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 2>chosen last week. That's the minimum a mount needed. Judge

20
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember where you were when you found out.

21
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>The number exactly where it was?

22
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Actually, now you said something that really brought up

23
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 1>some passion.

24
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 3>For Bostonians like Mark.

25
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>It feels like it was just yesterday.

26
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 4>Me and my wife were with kids at the playground

27
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 4>and someone came up to us and said, did you

28
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:21.560
<v Speaker 4>hear what happened?

29
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I'll never forget it. It was shocked.

30
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 3>Today is One Boston Day, in honor of the victims

31
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:31.079

00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 3>of kindness. On Saturday morning, a One Boston Day cleanup

34
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.599

37
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 2>So some new legal action over President Trump's tariffs, and

38
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:49.719
<v Speaker 2>the White House is now reacting.

39
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 5>The White House is dismissing a lawsuit filed by a

40
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 5>group of small business owners who say the President doesn't

41
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 5>have the power to impose tariffs. The group urged the

42
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 5>federal court to declare the tariffs unlawful, saying the national

43
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 5>emergency the President used to justify this action as a

44
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 5>quote figment of his own imagination. The White House says

45
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 5>the president's tariff policy quote levels the playing field for

46
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 5>businesses and workers and addresses a quote national emergency of

00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 2>the university have had their visas revoked. WZ Sherry Small

<v Speaker 2>with details in the wake of.

51
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 6>The Trump administration student deportation drive. MIT president doctor Sally

52
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 6>Cornblooth sent a letter to the MIT community on Monday

53
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 6>with an update confirming since April fourth, nine members of

54
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 6>the MIT community, students, recent graduates in postdocs have had

55
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 6>their visas and immigration status unexpectedly revoked. One of those

56
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 6>individuals has now filed suit against the federal government. Doctor

57
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 6>Cornblooth says that MIT is not party to that student's suit,

58
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 6>which is being brought by independent counsel representing the student.

59
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.240
<v Speaker 6>Unexpected visa in student status revocations are occurring in more

60
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 6>than a dozen local colleges and universities. Doctor Cornblue says

61
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 6>this threat will make it less likely the top talent

62
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 6>from around the world will come to the US, and

63
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 6>says that will damage American competitiveness and scientific leadership for

64
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 6>years to come.

67
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>dollars in grants and contracts to Harvard University. It comes

68
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 2>after Harvard announced they would not comply with demands from

69
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration. Watching this shower and thunderstorm activity that's

70
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 2>dancing around the suburbs here, well north and west of

71
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 2>the city, but close enough it could affect some folks

72
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>ride home. We have some showers and storms up into

73
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>southern New Hampshire. These aren't terribly far from havel and

74
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>four ninety five. We've got Atkinson getting a little bit

75
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.719
<v Speaker 2>of a storm right now, sand Down, New Hampshire. Also

76
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>up to Brentwood. We had a little bit of activity

77
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.800
<v Speaker 2>over towards Manchester earlier and then a little bit further

78
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>to the west in southern New Hampshire. We're still dealing

79
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>with some showers and storms and those stretch backed out

80
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 2>into northern Worcester County out into the Winchet in an

81
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Afoll area. These are all moving off mainly to the

82
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>north and east, so we'll have to see how far

83
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>they can travel and weather anymore pop up. But nonetheless,

84
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 2>we do have this front coming through, firing off some

85
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 2>showers and or storms. It'll also fire off some wind

86
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 2>as we head through the evening tonight. Temperatures tonight will

87
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.360
<v Speaker 2>fall to about forty, feeling like it's in the thirties.

88
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 2>A windy, chilly day Tomorrow fifty for the high. Not bad,

89
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 2>but the wind will make it feel like it's closer

90
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>to forty. Partially cloudy tomorrow night, about thirty nine for

91
