This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Lots of fog out there in Boston right now, rain to the north and west where it's fifty three degrees. Good morning. I'm Nicole Davis and here's what's happening. Karen Reid Reed trials on Morning Recess right now and shortly, we're expecting to hear testimony from Canon firefighter Kate McLaughlin. In the first trial, she testified that Breed said quote, I hit him at the scene where John O'Keeffe's body
was found outside the home on Fairview Road. Already today we've heard testimony from State Police forensics investigator Hannah Knowles, Ryan Nagel, and Heather Maxon. Nagol and Maxon both said they saw reads suv outside the home in Canton the night John O'Keeffe died. Meantime, in eleven oh one, some residents along a key street in Cambridge are speaking out against a plan to cut street parking to put in new bike lanes. Here's wbz's James Rohasain.
Broadway is under review to undergo big changes, including the addition of bike lanes. This is how biking advocates applauding the plan, but many who live on or near the busy street are against the project. That's because that would come with the removal of around sixty percent of residential parking.
Sixty percent.
Where are they going to park?
Yo Jove is from Boston, but bikes on Broadway often, even he has reservations, I.
One hundred percent, do not put them bike lanes.
I'm gonna leave it there.
Don't put those bike lanes because again, living in Boston, nobody uses the bike lanes.
Many bike lane advocates would disagree, but that being said, around seven hundred people have signed a petition titled to Save Broadway Parking in Cambridge. James Rojas WBZ, Boston, Some News Radio.
Eleven oh two. Boston City Councilor Tanya Fernandez Anderson set to go to federal court this afternoon. While she's there, she is expected to enter a guilty plea to federal corruption charges against her, and as part of this plea deal,
prosecutors have dropped four other charges. They're now going to call her to serve for just over a year in jail and pay thirteen thousand dollars in restitution in fines for Nandez Anderson admitting to illegally hiring a member of her family to her staff and then paying them a thirteen thousand dollars bonus, only to then take seven grand
as a pre planned kickback. It's not clear when her official resignation date is set to happen, or if there will be a special election before the upcoming city elections in September. Councilor represents District seven, which covers parts of Dorchester, Roxbury, Fenway and the South End. Rain is going to be sticking around for quite some time. We're talking actually probably in the next few days. Not consistent, but enough to
certainly be a nuisance. We've got periods of rain today moving through I've got my radar up right here and seeing the vast majority of this in southeastern Massachusetts, in places like the south coast and getting over toward Providence, more in western mass and more in southern New Hampshire. Right now the Boston area just kind of foggy and misty and really cloudy and blah. It's one of those days. It's kind of blah outside. Heard that earlier, it seems appropriate.
We've got a highe today in the mid fifties and a little bit warmer if you're on the Capan Islands in the sixties. For tonight, periods of rain and we've got a low in the upper forties. More rain tomorrow, heavy at times, a couple of thunderstorms as well. High in the sixties. And for your Wednesday, a couple of showers and storms and a high in the upper sixties. Fifty four degrees in Framingham, showers in Haveral fifty three.
It's out the Boston reigning in fair Haven's sixty five and in Boston at eleven oh five, very foggy and breezy, and it's fifty one. I don't know, that's the answer. President Trump gave an NBC interview yesterday when asked if he had to uphold parts of the Constitution. CBS's Nancy Cortis explains.
This weekend, the President would not fully commit to upholding the right to do process. His administration has swiftly moved to deport thousands of migrants, but court challenges have slowed down the effort.
Your Secretary of State says, everyone who's here, citizens and non citizens, deserve due process.
Do you agree, mister p I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. Well, the Fifth Amendments, I don't know. It seems it might say that, But if you're talking about that, then we'd have to have a million or two million or three million trials.
The President also announcing he is directing the Bureau of Prisons to reopen and expand Alcatraz in San Francisco. Meantime, the President is also threatening to put a one hundred percent tariff on all foreign film productions.
Former LA Film executive Tim Richards runs one of Britain's biggest cinema change. He doesn't see why Trump finds any tariffs on film production. Necessarily the US.
Right now, the export three times as much as the import in terms of filmed entertainment.
Britain's two billion dollar film industry supports one hundred and ninety five thousand jobs here, but it uses tax incentives to lure producers, which could be what Trump is objecting to. Dicky Parker, CBS News, London.
Meantime, experts are worry the latest round of auto tariffs that went into effect over the weekend will lead to higher car prices for you on Saturday.
The President's twenty five percent tariffs on most important auto parts going into effect. Economists say it could raise car prices by thousands of dollars. The CEO of General Motors warning that the trade war will cost the company four to five billion dollars this year. While the Administration has tried to cushion the blow of auto tariffs offering partial reimbursements to auto companies, some argue the damage is done.
And that's ABC's Mary Bruce. These tariffs do not apply to parts coming in from Mexico or Canada, so long as the parts meet certain requirements. Eleven oh seven, Before we take a look at Bloomberg.
