Seventy two degrees in Boston right now, it's partly cloudy, could have some showers later on. We'll get the forecast coming up in just a few minutes. Thanks for being here on this Friday morning. I'm Nicole Davis. It's eleven o'clock and here's what's happening over at the Karen Reid retrial at Norfolk Superior Court. Matthew desgra a crash reconstruction expert for the defense, is right now on the stand testifying Defense attorney Alan Jackson is using him to counter
the analysis of the prosecution's expert witnesses. Of course, it is up to the jury to decide which expert to believe. There are still more questions than answers after yesterday's and tonight's concerts at Fenway Park were abruptly canceled last night. Among the questions, how will businesses nearby be impacted by all this? You're wbz's James Rojas.
You can't help but feel bad for fans who came to Boston to see Shakira last night. Or Jason el Dean and Brooks and done today, only to be told that the shows are canceled because the stage wasn't set up to standards.
I got a message just two hours before the concert. I was so disappointed.
But you also have to feel for local bars, restaurants and those betting on a big turnout.
They were selling shirts, they were selling hoots, they were selling food outside of the Cunning Park, so they were disappointed to this. Well, it actually affected my mom's business as well, because she works for the company that sets up the concerts.
They had to go in and like undo everything quickly.
It's not great. It's never good to not have money excessily for the smaller businesses, you know what I mean that really depend on things like that.
At Fenway James Rojas WBZ Boston's News radio at eleven o two.
The Supreme Court has just ruled the Trump administration can end humanitarian parole for immigrants from four countries Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua. In today's order from the nation's highest court now exposes more than half a million people to deportation, many of whom have fled some of them most dangerous places on Earth. Today's move over turns a lower court ruling out of Boston Federal Court that had stopped the
Trump administration from doing this. The White House had argued the judge in Boston Federal Court was wrongly intruding on the Department of Homeland Securities authority. And there's controversy over Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior's Make America Healthy Again report. The White House touting the report as quote clear and evidence based when it came out last week. Now, some of the sources had been called into question. As we hear from ABC's Mary Bruce, some of.
The citations in this report are really garbled and appear to bear the hallmark of having been created by artificial intelligence. This sweeping report, led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, outlined what the administration believes are the root causes of childhood disease, but the footnotes include numerous error Some citations include the wrong authors, others site to studies that don't
exist at all. Now, the White House says the mistakes are due to quote formatting issues and that they are being corrected. The Press Secretary stressing that they do not quote negate the substance of the report.
And that report has since been revised. Well, the forecast right now is not looking terrible. For today. We could have a couple of showers popping up from time to time. We had a few in Central Mass a short time ago. From what I can see on the radar, those have dried up, so we'll take that. And right now most
of us are in the upper sixties, low seventies. High today about seventy eight to eighty if you're inland, seventy five right on the coast, sixties if you're on the Capan Islands, a little bit cooler with that breeze coming off the water. For tonight, we will have more clouds moving through, a couple of stray showers early, and then our next storm shows up. We've got heavy rain at times, a couple of thunderstorms possible as well tonight into tomorrow morning.
Low tonight in the mid fifties, and then again raining in the morning tomorrow to start off the weekend. Pretty sure we're at the twelfth or thirteenth weekend here where our Saturdays have been wet in some way, shape or form. I guess at this point it's just the pattern we're in. Who knows, I'm no meteorologists, but I can tell you it's going to rain on Saturday tomorrow and then for the afternoon. Not consistent, but a couple of showers will stick around and high in the mid to upper sixties.
Someday looking better, we could have some showers north and west of four ninety five, and we've got a high near sixty five right now, fifty nine on the Vineyard, seventy one in Auburn, where it's seventy one in Darry, New Hampshire, and in Boston at eleven oh six it is mostly cloudy and seventy two degrees. If you happen to be heading out of town this weekend on the Pike, consider this year warning. Big backups are possible around Newton and Weston, AH.
The sounds of summer hitting the road and making a trip gets a little complicated. Beginning at nine tonight and lasting all weekend, Mass Doc Cruise begin bridgework between Newton and Weston, only one lane getting by in boat directions until Monday at five am. Is it worth it?
It needs to be done?
Worth it? Yeah, he's any investment now and every investment highs quests.
Drivers seem to understand the frustrations, but understand replacing critical infrastructure even more.
It enhances communities in the long run.
So plan into any of your weekend plans, you'll be waiting a while. Ryan from Newton says it's a necessary speed bob for save for transportation.
We have to keep developing to accommodate for all the new people coming here in Newton.
