Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is WBZ Boston's news radio. We defining local news.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, what a fine mess you've gotten us into Monday.
We're waking up under murky conditions here in the city,
mostly cloudy, damp field. To the air it is fifty
eight degrees. Flight attendants and crew get ready for liftoff.
Thanks for joining us on this Monday. The News at
six has brought to us by your New England Toyota dealer,
your hybrid all wheel drive headquarters on Jeff Brown. It
is a little cool for June.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Today will be a mostly cloudy day with nothing more
than a shower or to the high sixty three to
sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That is WBZ achi weather meteorologist Joe Lundberg. Rain tomorrow
sunny in eighties. However, later this week, the Red Sox
flipped the script on the Evil Empire. Go figure. They
slug five home runs to win last night and win
the weekend series against the New York Yankees. Game two
of the NBA Finals. Oklahoma City gets even with a
beatdown of the Indiana Pacers and four playoff holes necessary
(01:00):
on the PGA tour, as Ryan Fox outlast Sam Burns
to win the RBC Canadian Open next up the US
Open coming up in Pennsylvania this weekend. Trade talks between
the United States and China resumed today in round two
in London. This following a lengthy phone call between President
Trump and China's President Xijingping last week in which both
(01:21):
indicated a need to settle their differences and both extend
invites to the other to meet face to face sometime
in the future. Cooler heads will need to prevail. Even
though the United States has backed off initial request to
impose even steeper tariffs against China, officials in Beijing have
long since ended a raise you one mentality. As the
clock hit midnight overnight, travelers from more than a dozen
(01:44):
countries who want to come to the United States face
either complete travel bans or increased restrictions here in the
United States. Now in effect, President Trump's travel ban has
taken grip. This is a revamp of a similar move
during the press in its first administration, but this time
security agents are given some advance warning to avoid the
(02:05):
chaos of eight years ago. Said to be motivated from
the recent terror attack in Colorado by an Egyptian national. Strangely,
Egypt does not appear on either the band or restricted list,
and the impact of the travel ban is now apparent.
Logan Airports eighty is among the twelve countries whose citizens
are banned from entering the US, with the Trump administration
citing national safety concerns. Jay from Needham is not a fan.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I'm certainly not in favor of it because we've got
to travel there, the families have to connect, there are
businesses to be done, and so i just don't see
this as a positive thing.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Hey, and Peter from Boston over here believe the band
will face legal challenges.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
We've lot Broughty together and yeah, gl after getting disconceld.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
No Trump, it'll probably stick or something. He'll try and
do whatever he can to make it stick. But for me,
I'm all for open borders. Is that realistic? No, but
hopefully somedate.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Meanwhile, seven other countries, including Cuba, are also facing heightened
travel restrictions, all Logan James Rojas WBZ Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So far, it looks like a pretty typical start to
the day, with just a couple of delays on the
board at Logan Airport. According to flight Aware, Monday is
here and it happens quickly. Every weekend it's a little
bit more difficult to take when the weather doesn't seem
to want to cooperate anymore. We've get cloudy and murky
conditions here in Boston. It is fifty eight degrees as
we get started on this Monday morning. It is going
(03:26):
to be a damp day today with occasional showers isolated
in nature. Otherwise, it's more clouds than sun and high
temperatures a little cool for June only in the low
to mid sixties Today. Will increase the shower chance overnight tonight,
and a better chance comes to most of us all
day tomorrow. Plenty of clouds, drizzle, and showers. Line of
(03:46):
storms will be moving through the area throughout the day. Tomorrow,
high's once again will be in the mid to upper sixties,
and then finally on Wednesday we break through. It looks
like we're going to string together at least a couple
of days where temperatures are going to be in the
eighties and the sun is going to be shining, but
we'll need to wait until Wednesday for that. This is
getting a little bit ridiculous, wouldn't you say? Fifty eights
(04:07):
right now in Boston, Cloudy skies at six oh five
this Monday morning. Two swimmers remain in critical condition this
morning after being pulled from the Merrimack River in newbury
Port over the weekend. WBC's Drew moholland is here with details.
Good morning, Andrew, Good morning, Jeffrey.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Ye.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Marine officials say they got the call off Plumb Island point.
The women were removed from the water. Both had lost
consciousness and investigation is underway. This is where the mighty
Merrimack River empties into of course, something I talked about
with new report Harbormaster Paul Hogg. You have big tides, yep,
you know down on Plumb Island, in the beaches you
have you know, rip currents, you have you know undertoes.
(04:42):
You're not even really supposed to be swimming there, Jeffrey.
So every time everybody who grows up around their nose,
you gotta be careful in those waterways because it can
be rough.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Both women in critical condition and an update has not
been provided for us as of this morning. Is that correct.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
We're watching it. We'll let you know we know, right Drew.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Thank you. Week number eight in the Karen Trial gets
under way this morning in Norfolk Superior Court. The defense
is said to have just a couple more witnesses to
call to the stand before closing arguments, jury instruction, and
then deliberations. We've heard from countless crash reconstruction experts assessing
the damage, most recently to a tail light on Reed's SUV.
We've heard from a dog bite expert who claims the
(05:19):
wounds on John O'Keeffe's arm were caused by a dog,
and a friend of Reed's who recalls that she saw
the forty five year old Mansfield woman at a bar
hours before O'Keefe's death and claims she did not seem drunk,
but she did seem very much in love with O'Keefe.
A crash expert is expected to return to the stand
to get things started. This morning. All of downtown Los
(05:41):
Angeles deemed unlawful assembly. Hundreds of National Guard troops continue
to battle with thousands of protesters, now entering a fourth
day in southern California, Demonstrators originally upset with immigration raids
in the city, now set fire to self driving vehicles
while blocking a portion of a major freeway. The protesters
met with tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs. Governor
(06:04):
Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass say the
National Guard was not requested and is not wanted. Newsom
says he will sue the Trump administration and challenges borders
Our Tom Holman to arrest him. This is the first
time the National Guard has been deployed without the coordination
and the cooperation of local officials since a civil rights
uprising in Alabama back in nineteen sixty five. Stripes in
(06:27):
the Wild now headed back home, and.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
The Zebra has been captured in Rutherford County after he
escaped from his owner's home outside Nashville more than a
week ago. Video from the local sheriff's department shows the
animal dangling in the air below a helicopter as rescuers
fly him out of a subdivision in the community of Christiana.
He's been trailered back home, his owner tells CBS News
