Stephen Portnoy, ABC News Washington.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Padilla says he's asking Nooam about extreme immigration enforcement. President
Trump says a massive conflict could occur in them. Add
least if Iran doesn't negotiate a deal on a nuclear program.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
President Trump says the conflict between Israel and Iran could
be avoided.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Look, it's very simple, not complicated. Iran cannot have a
nuclear weapon.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
When asked if an Israeli attack against Iran is imminent.
Speaker 7 (03:26):
Well, I don't want to say eminent, but it looks
like it's something that could very well happen.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Just in case, he says he took steps to get
American embassy personnel out of the region.
Speaker 7 (03:35):
We have a lot of American people in this area,
and I said, we got to tell him to get
out because something could happen soon, saying.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
He doesn't want to be the one that didn't give
any warning. Linda Kenyon CBS News. The White House.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Warm day to day, but that's going to be the
end of it for a while. In fact, we're going
to be almost what you'd call cool by the time
we get into the weekend. Tonight, it's about sixty two downtown,
fifty in the inland suburbs, with partly cloudy skies. Tomorrow's
not a bad day, just cooler, seventy two for the
high with some suna and some clouds, and then mostly
cloudy Tomorrow night, a couple of showers push in here,
(04:09):
late temperatures in the upper fifties, sixty two degrees. That'll
be the high on Saturday, with some cool conditions, cloudy
conditions and some showers around, and then maybe a couple
degrees cooler on Sunday, within a couple degrees of sixties,
so a chill in the air on Sunday. We may
get another shower or two. Looks like a better week
coming up next week, but let's get there first. Right now,
(04:32):
it's eighty six degrees in Boston. Closing arguments, a plan
for tomorrow in debt on that the Karen Reid murder retrial,
the defense and prosecution we're in the courtroom today arguing
over some final ground rules.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
The defense immediately requesting a required finding of not guilty,
which the judge quickly denied, leading to several exchanges over
how each side will frame their arguments to the jury.
Different from Karen Reid's first trial, the defense will not
be arguing that other people will respond. For John o'keef's death,
rather that other suspects were overlooked due to an insufficient
(05:06):
police investigation.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
So you cannot argue that either Brian Higgins or Brian
Albert committed or had the motive.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Each side will have an hour and fifteen minute.

You know why it's called the Gassy?
Speaker 9 (05:38):
Yeah, I used to have a natural gas works over here.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
From about nineteen oh eight to nineteen twenty eight there
was a huge natural gas tank here. Well. This week,
thanks to the friends of the Dephilippo Playground, there was
an unveiling of a memorial that features a large picture
of the neighborhood back then with that gas tank for
all to see. Here at the Gassy, a place that
for Lisa and a lot of others has plenty of memories.
