This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Fifty five degrees, some clouds in Boston. It's eleven o'clock
on Tuesday morning. Good to be with you. I'm Nicole Davis,
and here's what's happening. Today is one Boston Day, marking
a tragic event that Bostonians will never forget. The city
is honoring the victims, the survivors, and the heroes of
the marathon twin bombings on its twelfth anniversary. Boston Maryor
(00:33):
Michelle Woo and other officials a short time ago held
a wreathling ceremony on Boylston Street, right by the marathon
finish line. WBC's Jared Brosnan has more.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
But it is a thing of UDC and everyone gets together, reuniting.
You know, I have to seeing something so tragic happened
on our island on this day.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Twelve years ago.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Three lives were lost and hundreds more were injured in
the Boston Marathon bombings. It's hard to find a Bostonian
without a connection to this tragic day.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I was at the marathon now morning.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
By the finish line.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
People were running. We ran, and that was pretty scary.
And then when you get up home and then you
just hug your kids a little tighter.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
My buddy's Cambridge detective and he was on the squad
at the time, and I'm being worried about him, and
it's amazing that he was a part of it.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
In honor of the victims and to encourage acts of kindness,
the city is celebrating one Boston Day today. Volunteering opportunities
are also available, with a Franklin Park cleanup step for
Saturday morning and a blood drive at Keimore Square on
Marathon Monday from Boyleston Street. I'm Jerreed Brosman w BZ,
Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
At eleven oh one. Today was supposed to be the
first day of opening statements in the Karen Reid murder trial,
but instead it's become another day of jury selection. Both
sides want to have eighteen people on the jury just
to provide a buffer in case some have to drop
out or something goes awry. They were not able to
get there during proceedings yesterday, so as of now, sixteen
people are seated. Read is facing several charges, including second
(01:55):
degree murder in the death of her boyfriend John O'Keefe.
Her team claims she's being framed as part of a
cover up. We could also learn more today about the
status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He is the Maryland man
wrongfully deported to his home country of El Salvador and
placed inside of prison. A Brego Garcias deportation was the
subject of the Oval Office meeting yesterday between President Trump
(02:15):
and Salvador and President naib Bukell.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
A stunning comment from President Trump caught on a live
streaming camera before reporters were in the Oval Office, telling
the President of El Salvador he'd like to send American
citizens convicted of crimes to prisons in El Salvador.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
He said, home grooms, then next the home runs. Billy,
you get a about five more places.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, that's all right, it's not big enough.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Minutes later, with reporters in the room, Trump said he
wants Attorney General Pam Bondi to see if the law
allows this.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That is ABC's Terry Moran of the Supreme Court has
ordered the Trump administration to facilitate a Brego Garcia's return.
During the meeting, though President Trump and President Bucell made
it clear they will not be sending him back. New
moves on Beacon Hill to codify protections for patients during exams.
The Globe reports this new legislation comes in response to
charges against Derek Todd. He's a former doctor at Brigham
(03:12):
and Women's accused of sexually assaulting several of his patients.
Marble Head Rep. Jennifer Armini spearheading these new legislative proposals,
which include a bill that, if passed, would mandate trained
chaperones be present for genital, breast, and rectal exams unless
a patient declines or it's an emergency. As of now,
patients usually have to ask for a chaperone, although mass
(03:32):
General Brigham says it has put a chaperone policy in
place for quote sensitive exams or procedures we've cleared out
for the most part. For now, I am seeing a
couple straight showers if you're on the Capan Islands, and
also a couple more are popping up right now in
central Massachusetts, think along the Mass Pike in places like
Sturbridge and Charlton, right by the rest area. But for
(03:53):
the rest of the afternoon, we'll start to see more
of this heavy, steady rain coming in, maybe even a
couple of thunderstorms as well, becoming breeze with the high
in the mid sixties. For tonight, patchy clouds, very windy
out there. We have a low near forty Wednesday. Windy
clouds will limit the sun so you'll see a little
bit filtering through, but it's not going to be a
perfectly sunny day. Unfortunately, a bit cooler as well. We
(04:14):
have a high just about fifty tomorrow, but gradually through
the rest of the week we will start to see
and feel it warming up. Thursday, lots of sun, a
great day, a high in the upper fifties, mix of
sun and clouds. On Friday with a high in the
low to mid sixties. Our temp's right now fifty seven
in Auburn, we're seeing fifty five in Waltham fifty four
and peb fifty four as well in a Cushnet and
(04:37):
in Boston right now at eleven oh six, it is
it said, partly cloudy out there, and we're up to
fifty seven.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Well.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Spring is a season of renewal, with beautiful trees and
flowers coming into bloom, but unfortunately that also means it's
time for the potholes to be renewed.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Spring is known for the sounds of birds chirping and
around Boston.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It's also the sounds of this.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Road crews filling potholes as drivers do their best to
dodge them.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
But sometimes it becomes a fool's errand it is. I mean,
you're talking thousands of.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Dollars want reflecting on some of his past pothole pain
and man, does.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
It cut deep. Insurance doesn't even cover a lot of it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Mastot is stepping up efforts to patch up the worst
of them, but let's face it, pothole problems just added
to the list of driving headaches all around Greater Boston
off Southern Artery and Quincy.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Salem is now officially a sanctuary city for transgender and
non binary residents. The Salem News reports the city Council
pass the resolution back on Thursday night. The vote was unanimous.
Officials say this means they'll work to ensure all Salem
residents and visitors have access to gender affirming care, work
directly with the Salem Human Rights Coalition to tackle other
equity issues, and support a safe school environment for kids
(05:49):
of all gender identities. It is tax day, FYI. If
you haven't filed. You might want to get a move
on here, because we've only got a few hours left.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
Around the country, taxpayers will spend the day going through
old receipts to submit with their itemized tax returns. But
remember most people are finding that because the standard deduction
is so high, they don't need to file an itemized return.
Luis Garcia of VIRS says the standard deduction for TAXI
or twenty twenty four has been boosted to twenty nine thousand,
two hundred dollars for couples filing jointly fourteen thousand, six
(06:20):
hundred four individual filers. Jim Royan ABC News.
