Cbs'sara Navarro has more on the White House reaction to the fighting between Israel and Iran.
Our reporting is that President Trump was aware of the impending strike, but did not explicitly green light Israel to launch those attacks. According the multiple.
Sources, sounds like Iran will not show up for tomorrow's schedule nuclear talks with the US CBS News Special Report, I'm Michael Wallace.
And we do have breaking news coming into the newsroom. Minnesota Governor Tim wall says former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband have been killed in a politically motivated shooting. One other lawmaker injured by a shooter who authorities say was posing as law enforcement. Here's ABC's Josh Margolan with the.
Very latest War enforcing was very very quick to say leader target attacks. That is is language that they use when they want the public to know there's not some sort of active shooter randomly shooting at people outside. But yes, they were targeted at their homes at state lawmakers tend to be highly accessible they're members of the community, members of the population, you know, mothers at PTA meetings and parents who go to a Little League games.
A manhunt is underway public health alert here in Boston over potential exposure to measles. Officials say that a person with measles visited Boston, staying at the Western Hotel in the Seaport on June seventh and eighth. Also on June eighth, they visited the Museum of Fine Arts and then were later at Terminal SA at Logan Airport boarding a Jet Blue flight to Miami. People who are unvaccinated may have
been exposed and should contact their healthcare provider immediately. Measles is highly contagious and infection can occur seven to twenty one days after direct or indirect contact with an infected person. And now the four dawbz ACU weather forecast, it's going to be another wet Saturday today like we've seen umpteen times in a row, rather cloudy, cool as well. We're
going to see occasional rain and drizzle right now. That rain is fairly widespread, tempt slowly falling through the fifties tonight, generally cloudy. Some areas of drizzle could linger to the south of Boston. The overnight low fifty four degrees. All right, Sunday, Father's Day, we are going to see some breaks of sunshine returning, but it's going to stay on the cool side. A high of sixty two. Monday, mostly cloudy, not as cold.
Sixty six to seventy is the high. And then on Tuesday we have some sunshine and a high of seventy two. Right now, that rain, as I said, looking at the radar map, is widespread. This storm is rainstorm is wafting from west to east. So right now, most of western Mass is dry, with the exception of some few spotty areas. And believe it or not, it looks like Boston. A good portion of Boston is dry right now, but that is going to be very short lived. The rain is going to return any minute.
Now.
It's fifty nine oh. I just refreshed the computer light rain back in Boston. Fifty nine degrees. Told you it was coming back right away. It's eleven oh six. Back to news now, all right. Starting this weekend, the MBTA will be running slightly fewer trolleys on the Green Line this as it works to install its new safety system. Here's WBC's Kyle Bray with more.
This summer, the NBTA will be taking some trains off the tracks to equip them for its new green Line Train protection system. The system is meant to avoid collisions and improve speed enforcement. It can alert operators when they're going too fast and can even stop the trolley automatically. But to do this, they'll leave the scale back some
service by about two percent for the summer months. These Somerville residents take the green line everywhere, and they're okay with the plan definitely, especially.
If the safety is then long last date.
It's not like we fixed it for a month.
Given how long we waited to get the green line out there, I'm willing to take a little bit delays to have it run great.
The t says the system will eventually lead to better travel times because of less unplanned stops. Kyle Bray, WBZ Boston's news radio.
Tens of thousands of people will be gathering later today at the home of the Chicago White Sox to celebrate well what could be the team's most famous fan ever.
I think there's this a real buzz or real excitement.
The gathering will be for a mass to celebrate the election of a Chicago native as head of the Catholic Church. When Pope Leo the fourteenth was merely Father Bob Prevost, he sat in one of the seats at Radefield to cheer on the White Sox in the twenty oh five World Series. Auxiliary Bishop and Vicar General Larry Sullivan. The fact that he's a baseball fan, I think, is just speaking volumes to people who are baseball fans.
This makes them so relatable.
Pope Leo will appear during a pre mass program in a recorded video message aimed at the youth of the world. Bernie Tafoya for CBS News Chicago.
