News, sixty eight degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,
I'm Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. We're following some developing news,
and here we go again, a House Democrat introducing articles
of impeachment against President Trump. In a statement, Michigan Congressman
(00:26):
Sherrie Thanader says the president is unfit to serve as
president and represents a clear and present danger to our
nation's constitution and our democracy. These are the first articles
of impeachment against the president during his second term. Since
Republicans control both the House and the Senate, this is
a long shot at mess. Texas Congressman Al Green, who
(00:47):
was censured for interrupting the president's speak to a joint
Chesson of Congress, has also said he plans to introduce
articles of impeachment. Trump administrations try to make sure that
federal workers are showing up in person these days.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
CBS News has obtained a memo sent to federal agencies
instructing them to monitor and report how many employees are
showing up in the office every day. They would most
likely collect the info by tracking bad swipes. The memo
says the data must then be submitted every two weeks
for review.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
That was CBS's Stacey lynd to dead him. Now at
Norfolk Superior Court hearing his underway in the Karen Reid
case on the defenses crash experts. The ARCA witnesses were
initially hired by federal investigators and were identified as a
third party when they testified at Read's first murder trial.
The prosecution alleges this was a misrepresentation, revealing the defense
(01:42):
had paid ARCA, but while answering questions for the defense,
doctor Daniel Wolfe says he had no idea what would happen.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Did you have any understanding when you made that entry
that the defense was going to be paying for that time?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
No, six n twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Did you have any understanding when you made that entry
that the defense was going to be paying for that time?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
For any entry on this invoice, did you understand have
any understanding that the defense.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Was going to be paying for this time?
Speaker 6 (02:11):
No, sir.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
The jury has not been present for this hearing, but
earlier the jury did hear testimony from Ian Within, a
cell phone expert for the prosecution, who analyzed Johnald Keith's
phone data. With the funeral of Pope Francis over, there's
now a date for the cardinals of the Catholic Church
to begin their process of selecting a new pope.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
We now have a date for the conclave. It will
be May seventh, next Wednesday. This is when one hundred
and thirty five cardinals who are eligible to vote will
be deciding on who is the next pope. This is following,
of course, the death of Pope Francis. Thousands have already
been to pay their respects. Line goes all the way
around the building here. Some seventy thousand have been through
(02:51):
a very simple tomb. It's just his name in Latin Franciscos,
which has written on it. James Longman, ABC News.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
In row the Heally Administration, so what an almost a
million dollars in grants to help five communities enhance their
public water supplies, improve water availability, and remove pefasts from
drinking water. The grants, administered by the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection, will help to maintain and improve access to
clean and safe drinking water for communities in the Ipswich
River basin. This is the second year for this grant program,
(03:19):
which aims to guide water management in the Ipswich River
Basement basin for both the long term water supply needs
of communities and the protection of the aquatic eco systems.
Got a pretty decent night coming up Tonight. It will
be mainly clear. We will get a little chilly, especially
in the suburbs, back down into the forties, probably mid
fifties or so downtown, a few clouds scooting across the sky.
(03:42):
Later on tomorrow, we're gonna warm right back up. In fact,
we're gonna warm up more than we warmed up today.
Times of sun and clouds, and temperatures in the warmest
spots getting into the upper seventies. Could be an eighty
degree reading out there. Tomorrow. Temperature is a little cooler
over the Capean Islands, probably hanging in the sixties, warm
with increasing clouds. Tomorrow night sixty one for the Lull
could be a shower in a few spots as well.
(04:04):
Wednesday partially to mostly sunny, highs near seventy, and then
Thursday it'll be cooler but still comfortable, sixty for the
high in Boston into the mid to upper sixties, while
inland probably fifties will do it over the Cape and islands.
Right now, we are at sixty eight degrees in Boston.
Passion it's part of any sport. But what happens when
(04:24):
the crowd gets a little too passionate.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
It's not just a Massachusetts problem. It's a stemic and
it's a nationwide problem.
Speaker 9 (04:32):
Mass Youth Soccer Executive Director Rob Holiday is filling me
in a pressing issue bad behavior. And it doesn't mean
from the kids on the pitch. He means from their
parents in the stands.
Speaker 8 (04:42):
There were behaviors that became normalized on the sidelines that
really shouldn't be.
Speaker 9 (04:46):
The cursing, screaming, insulting, the ref threats and everything else
you can imagine. That's why the Youth Soccer Org has
extended to US Soccer's strict new penalties to spectators as
well as kids and coaches on the field. Multi game
suspensions are possible, well as a lifetime ben if things
really get ugly. He says, this is about ref and
player retention.
Speaker 8 (05:05):
And that's really the goal is to provide the environments
that kids enjoy playing soccer in that they will continue
to come back and play.

Speaker 2 (05:14):

Fest a couple years ago in la and brought it

Speaker 4 (05:32):
The community has always been very influential in the culinary space.
But for a long time we couldn't be present, we
couldn't be open, and we couldn't be out of the
closet or the kitchen.
Speaker 10 (05:40):
And he says, chef's queer identities influence their food.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
James Beard was a gay man and that greatly influenced
how he cooked. It influenced his cookbooks and therefore influenced
how America eats and thinks about food.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
There are drag performances, paneled discussions with chefs, and lots
of really good food and drinks.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Here's David. We're doing a cop till competition. The finale

All ending with a two day grand tasting at the
High Street Place Food Hall this weekend. Suzanne Sasville WBZ,
Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Some scientists are warning that the planet is headed towards
several tipping points. In a new study, they say climate
is sending some places on the planet to a point
where things could become irreversible.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
The report in the journal Earth System Dynamics look at
sixteen different places on Earth, from Greenland ice sheets to
the Amazon rainforest. It found that the government policies stay
at their current course and global temperatures aren't lowered, the
damage could be permanent.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Study co author Tim Lenton.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Place is like the Great Barrier reef, but the reefs
in the Caribbean as well, so that's a system that
might already be at or past the tipping.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Point overall, Lenton says, a number of tipping points are
already near critical levels.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
We're at a significant risk, like tens of percent of
crossing more than one tipping point.
