It's thirty eight degrees and feeling more like twenty in
Boston at four o'clock, good Saturday afternoon. I'm Madison Rogers,

are drying out now somewhat, but some of us are
dealing with more than half a foot of snow Wooster
seeing eight inches seven inches of snow in Fitchburg, in
(00:31):
and around Boston. It's just been a slushy coating and
it will stay nasty out there this weekend. Stay tuned

rights and causing irreparable harm to schools. The Trump administration
argues it's removing non citizens deemed threat to national security.
Some relief for big tech companies and consumers, The Trump
administration says its reciprocal tariffs will not apply to phones, computers,
and other electronics. CBS Tech contributor Ian Sure says the
(02:25):
move isn't just about saving consumers cash.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
This also underscores the power that many tech companies have
in politics. A lot of tech's biggest names were there
during Trump's second inauguration in January and have since tried
to cozy up with the White House, likely in part
to prepare for moments like this. The question now for
a lot of other people is that, just like the
terrifyights of the last Trump administration, what other exemptions are
(02:51):
going to come through and how much of this is
truly bluster versus reality? Ian Sure CBS News.

a shower two in spots, and we do have a
little bit of rain, most of it just south of
Boston end up in southern New Hampshire. Looks like a
wintry mix in some spots here in Boston. Right now
we have a bit of scattered drizzle and wind gus
sneering thirty miles an hour, thirty eight degrees and feeling
(04:04):
like the low twenties. At four oh six Manchester, New Hampshire,
officials are setting up new TB testing clinics. People at
two homeless facilities may have been exposed. Here's wbz's Sherry Small.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
New Hampshire health officials say a person with tuberculosis recently
spent time at two Manchester locations the Families in Transition
Adult Homeless Shelter and the twelve sixty nine Cafe Homeless
Outreach Center. Anyone who visited either location between October first
of last year and January thirty first of this year
could have come in contact with the infected person and
(04:38):
should get tested. The new free testing clinics are being
held at the twelve sixty nine Cafe on Union Street
on Tuesday, April fifteenth and Wednesday, April sixteenth. So far,
more than one hundred people have already been tested. Of those,
they found five who were diagnosed with Layton tuberculosis infection,
meaning they're not sick but could develop the disease later
(04:59):
in life. Tuberculosis is a serious illness that can cause
major issues with the lungs. Sherry Small WBZ, Boston's News Radio.

Four days left to get those tax returns done, and
as procrastinators may be scrambling, scammers or at their peak,
tax season is a gold mine for cyber criminals.

That's Sam Ruben with cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks. Fishing
and text based attacks are the most popular with cyber
criminals telling taxpayers they owe.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Money or are due to credit as well as calls.

The attackers are reaching out to potential victims and trying
to entice them to share information or otherwise get a
return filed in a way that's going to lead to
theft of information or money. Ruben urges consumers to use
a virtual private network when online, be alert, and if
it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
