Speaker 2 (00:11):
Cloudy and foggy, forty nine degrees in the city at
eleven o'clock. Good Friday morning. It's May ninth. I'm Sherry
Small and here's what's happening. The Karen Reid retrial is
still on morning recess. We're expecting State Police Sergeant Yuri
Bukennick to return to the stand. Defense attorney Alan Jackson
will continue his cross examination. A Massachusetts native who rose
(00:35):
to the top of the legal world has died.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Appointed by President George H. W. Bush in nineteen ninety,
former US Supreme Court Justice David Souter has died at
the age of eighty five. He was a Harvard grad
born in Melrose. He was a judicial moderate and advocate
for humanities. This was a speech at U and H
back in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
The realization that the Supreme Court comes from the people
is part of its legitimacy.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
So God bless the diverse city.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
On the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
David Suitor would move to New Hampshire. He absolutely loved
it there. He retired from the Supreme Court in two
thousand and nine. Then President Barack Obama said this about Suitor.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
He came to the bench with no particular ideology. He
never sought to promote a political agenda, and he consistently
defied labels and rejected absolutes, focusing instead on just one task,
reaching a just result in the case that was before him.

of eighty five. Drew moholland WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Newly elected Pope Leo the fourteenth is celebrating his first
Mass at the Sistine Chapel today. Meanwhile, the Pope's older brother,
John Prevost tells ABC News he believes the Pope will
share the values of his predecessor.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
He's going to fall in Pope Francis's Footsteff, because he
knows there are the down trot. If he knows there
are the poor, he knows there are disenfranchise, the people
who don't have a voice, and so I think he
will be looking out for that because that's where he
spent so many years with those people who he worked
with and knows what their needs may be and maybe
(02:08):
he can do something to help them.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
In his first homily, Leo urged cardinals to make themselves small.
We could hear today if a federal judge will grant
bail for Tuff's grad student, Remesa Osterk Ostark, held in
custody in Louisiana ever since her March arrest in Somerville
after her student visa was revoked. Her attorneys are arguing
that the arrest was in retaliation for co authoring an
(02:32):
op ed critical of Israel, and they claim it violates
her free speech and due process rights. So far, she
has not been charged with a crime. Osterrik appearing remotely
this morning at the hearing in Vermont where US District
Judge William Sessions is considering her bail request. Ostrik's lawyers
say her health is at risk due to asthma attacks.
(02:53):
And now let's check the weather. The four d awbz
ACU weather forecast, there is a flood watch for areas
west of four nine five in effect until eight am tomorrow.
That's because there's going to be some wides spread rain
in the area. You could expect some ponding on roadways
for the evening commute, so factor that in give yourself
a little extra time. Otherwise, it's going to be cloudy
(03:14):
and breezy temps not far from fifty, falling into the
fifties on the cape in the Islands. Tonight, more rain,
at times heavy, a thunderstorm in spots. Again watch for
flooding overnight lows forty seven, and then, as we have
been doing for the past, can't keep count eight or
nine weekends. We're starting off with occasional rain on Saturday morning,
(03:35):
but the difference here is clouds will break for some
late day sunshine. It's going to be breezy much of
the day highs sixty two. And then on Sunday it
looks like it looks like mother Nature is going to
cooperate for Mother's Day sunshine, breezy and a pleasant high
around seventy degrees. As we head back to work on Monday,
we warm up even more to seventy four, sunny skies
(03:57):
and a breeze. The problem right now is, looking at
the radar map, is all of western Mass and parts
of central Mass are seeing widespread rain at the moment.
Many other areas along the coast east coast are seeing
a thick fog and clouds. In the city right now,
it's foggy, cloudy and forty nine degrees. It's eleven oh five.
(04:19):
All right, what's it like rolling through town with a
traveling carnival. Well, Our WBC's Jim McKay is asking that
question in Kingston, thank Ing and Gypsy basically by Here
on Wheel.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Jennifer is from Nashville, New Hampshire and works with Fiesta Shows,
a traveling carnival that run shows all over New England
and is based in Seabrook. It's annual stoppin Kingston is
this weekend at the Kingston Collection. They're part of Americana
Bob Works Concessions and says the atmosphere once they're all
set up is second to.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
None when there where memories are made.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
They've got all the rides you can imagine the fair
and they'll be here all weekend long and are expecting
quite the crowd to arrive for some good old fashioned
family fun and families bring their children and then turn
those children bring their children as time goes on. In Kingston,
Jim AKAWBZ Boston's News Radio, Well.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Mother's Day is a Sunday, and for many their plans
involved getting away from it all. Your WBC's James Rojas with.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
That it could be hard finding mom the right.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
Gift am I the only one that got MoMA pressent.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
But a gift doesn't have to be physical. It could
be time to themselves, a chance to clock out from
motherly duties.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Absolutely, yeah, I think right now that's the best thing
that I can give her. We got two under four
right now and then we're expecting it a third in
about two weeks. So as much free time as I
can give her is going to be the best for her.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And sometimes it's leaving everything behind for the weekend as
a family. We got an AIRB and B, then we're
gonna have a big spread. It simply like a weekend
long deals. It would be a good time. No matter
the gift, it's usually the thought that counts. James Rojas WBZ,
Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
President Trump floating the idea of cutting tarrafts on Chinese
goods from one hundred and forty five percent down to
eighty percent. The President writing on social media this morning
that an eighty percent tariff on China seems right. This
coming ahead of high level trade talks between US and
Chinese delegates in Switzerland this weekend. These will be the
first major talks between the two nations since President Trump's
(06:27):
tariffs sparked a trade war. China responded to the president's
terraffs by levying a one hundred and twenty five percent
tax on US goods. You are now in bloop for
