Cloud's and a bit of fog in Boston. It's eleven
o'clock and seventy degrees. Good morning. I'm Nicole Davis, and
we're watching developing news. The Department of Homeland Security today
helping the pressure on Harvard University. The Department now says
it will subpoena Harvard for records about the school's international students.
The Trump administration accusing Harvard of repeatedly refusing to hand
(00:25):
over this information they've demanded. Now, the administration has tried
to block Harvard's ability to enroll foreign students. That move
was put on hold by a federal judge while the
school sued. DHS Secretary Christy Nomes says other schools should
take the move today as a warning to comply when
the White House makes demands. In a statement to WBZ
News Radio, Harvard says the subpoenas are not warranted, but
(00:47):
they will continue to cooperate with lawful requests. And we're
watching a story, of course, outside of Boston in Walpole,
a tragic fire destroying a barn at a horse farm there.
Wbz's Mike Macklin. That's more from the scene.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
All that's left is the charred ruins of what was
the barn at Moreland Farm. A fire broke out shortly
before eleven last night and flames quickly tore through the
barn that housed eighteen horses. Eight horses perished in the fire,
ten were rescued and survived. The farm, owned by Cormac
and Catherine Kennedy, was a special place for the riders
(01:23):
who boarded their horses here, including the stone Hill College
Equestrian team. Investigators are now focused on what caused this
tragic fire hit Walpaul Mike maclum WBZ Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Striking sanitation workers here in Massachusetts are getting a bit
more public support, this time from the Boston City Council.
Here's WBZ Sherry.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Small counselors John Fitzgerald and Aaron Murphy introducing a resolution
to support Teamster's Local twenty five sanitation workers on strike
against Republic Services. It says Republic Services has repeatedly refused
to agree to reasonable demands competitive wages, strong health and
welfare benefits, industry standard working conditions, and adequate paid time off.
(02:07):
The strike, now in its second week, is at a stalemate.
Workers remain on the picket lines but say they're committed
to returning to the bargaining table. Meanwhile, Republic stands firm,
claiming it is made a fair offer. Republic Services says
it has brought in out of state workers to collect
trash in all fourteen cities in towns where it has operations.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
And four Framingham restaurants have been slapped with penalties for
failing to check IDs during an undercover sting. The for
sports pub bar Watchi bur Yanni and Ali Japanese restaurant
were first time offenders. They agreed to serve a one
day suspension if they commit another offense in the next
six months. Los Pinos, Mexican grilla second time offender. They
were hit with a one day suspension and all the
(02:52):
restaurants agreed to pay fines. It is not nearly as hot,
but it's also still very humid out there. We have
temperatures for most of us in the low seventies right now,
seeing some sixties, and for most of us on the
coast today we only get up to about seventy to
seventy three. Could have a little bit warmer day of
your inland in the mid to upper seventies and even
some eighties in the Berkshires, But don't be surprised if
(03:14):
you see another couple of showers moving through, and again
it will stay very humid. We have a due point
in the upper sixties. Now for tonight, cloudy with a
couple of showers and storms. After midnight we have a
low near sixty five. Strong storms possible Tomorrow. We could
see some heavy downpours, maybe some ponding on the roads,
and a high once again in the low to mid seventies.
(03:34):
Now for your Friday, mostly cloudy with a couple passing showers,
a high in the mid seventies to low eighties. And
for your Saturday, mix of sun and clouds and a
high once again in the mid to upper seventies, low
eighties inland. So certainly no more extreme heat, at least
for the next few days. Seventy four in New Bedford
right now, seventy two in Westborough north of Boston, sixty
(03:55):
nine in Haveril and in Boston at eleven oh five
it is overcast, a bit foggy, and we're at seventy
one degrees. Residents of Milton say it's time for more
safety regulations on Route twenty eight his latest push following
a deadly crash.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
This busy stretch of roadway and Milton is often referred
to as suicide Alley. State representative and former chief of
Police in Milton, Richard Wells says he saw many accidents
in his day.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
It's been a dangerous stretch far as long as I
can remember my especially my thirty plus years in the
police department.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
And this weekend, another crash on Randolph Avenue killed three people.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Who wanted to full study this entire carda because here again,
you know, three people are now dead, and you know
how many have to die before someone takes action and
corrects this.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Milton residents have been calling for safety regulations for decades,
demanding that more stoplights be put up and that the
speed limit be reduced and more strictly enforced.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
BBS News Boston's Logan Hall there now. MASTOD has made
several recommendations for upgrades, but none have been put in place.
Highway Administrator Jonathan Gullah versus they'll keep working with the
town and officials on those improvements. A paramedic with Lawrence
General Hospital, actually the whole team are now trained to
give life saving blood transfusions. Wbz's Jared Brosnan reports it's
(05:12):
already making a difference.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
It's estimated that up to ten thousand people could survive
by receiving pre hospital blood across the country if it
was available. Unfortunately it's not in most cases.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
But that is available here in Lawrence and surrounding communities. Now,
the paramedic shift commanders are trained to administer whole blood
transfusions on scene. Lawrence General's EMS and Public Safety Director
Paul Brennan says these transfusions are critical in shootings, stabbings,
and major car accidents.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Each second the clock's ticking. If they are hemorrhaging, then
it makes sense if you can provide that live sooner
you do it, and if it's safe to do so,
someone like Ryan will crawl into that vehicle while they're
being extricated and start to add transfusion right there.
Speaker 7 (05:52):
Paramedic Ryan Mueller tells me it's already saving lives.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
At the end of the day, if someone truly needs
a blood transfusion in the field, we will respond to
give them a chance as survival.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
