Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is wb Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
There sky is a wing from the west right now
in Boston, where it's seventy four degrees. It's eleven o'clock.
Good morning. I'm Nicole Davis and here's what's happening in
death at the Karen Reid murder re trial. Right now,
crash expert doctor Andrew Wrenchler is on the stand. He
is testifying about the injuries found on John O'Keefe's arm,
(00:28):
saying the arm would be turned away from flying pieces
of the tail light if the suv had backed into.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Him, because those pieces that fracture haven't gone anywhere because
they're against the arm itself, and then as the arm
moves away, the pieces then move with the vehicle.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Wrenchler is set to be the final witness for the
defense read will not be testifying on her own. Behalf
now to Los Angeles at eleven oh one, where we're
following yet another day of protesting against immigration rates. It
was a curfew on a part of the downtown last
night that has now been lifted for the day. The
Trump administration deploying thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds
of Marines decisions, California Governor Gavin Newsom says are brazen
(01:06):
abuses of power.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
California maybe first, but it clearly will not end here.
Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under
assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
And more than a dozen Attorneys general around the country agree,
including Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell saying the decision is quote unlawful,
on constitutional and undemocratic. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, meantime, has
now become the first in the country to announce he
will deploy National Guard troops in response to protests in
his own state. It does appear now that those National
(01:42):
Guard troops in LA are doing more than just responding
to protests. Here's ABC's Alex Stone.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The role of the National Guard is now going beyond
crowd control around federal buildings here and now. Because the
Guard was federalized by President Trump, guardsmen are now going
on ice raids and protecting the federal agents as those
raids go down. The commandant of the Marine Corps told
Congress the military is protecting federal personnel. Governor Gavin Newsom
had said he thought the National guardsman might be used
(02:08):
to go on ice raids. He's asking a cord to
stop California's National Guard from being ordered to do so.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And on the other side of the country, President Trump
is defending his decision to deploy those troops.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I'm Lynda Kenyon in Washington. The governor of California and
the mayor of Los Angeles say the President overstepped, but
Trump disagrees.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
We will not be deterred.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Speaking to troops at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the President
said he did what he had to do. We will
use every asset at our disposal to quell the violence.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
And we're still Alonoa right away.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
We're not going to wait seven days and eight days
and wait for a governor that's never going to call
and watch cities burn. California's governor says the president's actions
are inflaming the situation. Lynda Kenyon CBS News Washington.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Right now, when we look at the forecast, we are
looking pretty good out there for the rest of the day.
Fair skies. Right now, we have an breeze coming from
the west about ten to fifteen miles an hour, and
it's not as humid as it has beens. That's certainly
a plus and it will look quite nice out there
for the rest of the afternoon. Might notice a bit
of the haze from those Canadian wildfires is back in
(03:14):
our neck of the woods, so just be sure to
not be too alarmed by that. We have a high
today in the low eighties. For tonight mostly clear, low
year sixty five, and then for tomorrow more of that haze,
gustier breeze. A high in the mid upper eighties, goes
to eighty for the capin Islands, and then for your Friday,
a mix of sun and clouds, a high in the
mid seventies. Showers return at night yes Saturday, for the
(03:37):
thirteenth weekend in a row. It will be wet, it
will be cool, and it will be gray. High only
just about sixty right now. Temperatures where at seventy six
on the capein Barnstable, seeing seventy four right now in Providence,
seventy five in Nashua. In Boston at eleven oh five.
It is we'll call it partly cloudy out there, and
seventy four degrees. Whole food shoppers darting to notice the
(04:00):
effects of a recent cyber attack against the chain's top distributor.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I'm pretty concerned.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Warren lives in Hingham. She has a restricted diet due
to a medical condition, and Whole Foods is her go to.
Hearing about this cyber attack certainly has her attention.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Neally not that concerned about things like this, but in
this case.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
I am Providence based. United Natural Foods is a distributor
who was targeted in this cyber attack. They have a
massive deal with Whole Foods and they serve some thirty
thousand stores around the country in total. They're hoping to
have their systems back online and problem free by this weekend.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Not great, but it's a mistake.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Until then, you may see some empty store shelves, in
unfulfilled orders, a distribution disruption, and the digital age in Hingham.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Eleven o six President Trump saying today the White House
has finally struck a trade deal with China. Not too
much is known about the agreement. It is expected, though,
to get trade relations back in line with the deal
last month, which fell apart as China kept her restricting
shipments of magnets and rare earth minerals. Mark Hogan, chief
market strategists at b Riley Financial joined our own Jeff
(05:08):
Brown Live this morning to talk about the impact of
the agreement.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
I think the real good news is that the USA
China is talking and we've come to a truce, and
we've got the framework for what a deal will look like.
I think over the coming weeks will flesh out much
more of the detail of what this means.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
The deal does still need final approval from President Trump
and the Chinese president Shei Jinping. So far, when it
comes to Wall Street, it looks like all three of
the majors are higher. On the news, we're also getting
a look at inflation today. Here's ABC's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
What a month to month basis, the prices we pay
for nearly everything rose one tenth of a percent between
April and May and two point four percent over the
past twelve months. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the
increase was driven largely by the rising price of housing
and food. While the latest increase in CPI is small,
observers on Wall Street see the bill for US tariffs
may come due in the coming months.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Inflation does appear to be relatively stable. It is still
above the FEDS two percent target and at eleven oh
seven before we take a look at Bloomberg Business. An
update now to a story we brought you last month.
The state of Massachusetts has now opened up an investigation
into Boston's Liberty Hotel. Last month, a hotel employee misgendered
and harassed a woman in one of the bathrooms. The
(06:18):
hotel says no it is making amends to the woman,
Ainslie Baker, and her girlfriend, Liz Victor. It's also taking
corrective action and putting new sensitivity training in place. Baker's
lawyer telling The Globe he is grateful the state is
taking steps to investigate the situation. You are now in
the loop for news updates throughout the day. Listen to
