This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Sixty nine degrees overcast in Boston. It's eleven o'clock. Good morning. I'm Nicole Davis, and here's what's happening. A lunchtime protest is planned in downtown Boston at the JFK Federal Building demanding the US stay out of a war with Iran. Progressive organizations putting on this demonstration say they want Congress too, has five partisan war power resolutions that have been filed
on Capitol Hill. Organizers say they're also protesting the recent US strikes on Iran and calling for an end to all US military aid for Israel. It's happening at noon at the JFK Federal Building. This comes as the Pentagon doubles down on its assessment of those strikes in Iran last weekend.
Do you want to call it destroyed, You want to call it defeated, you want to call it obliterated.
Choose your word.
This was an historically successful attack and we should celebrate as Americains.
Secretary Pete Hegseth ripping into the media and others this morning for reporting on an early intelligence assessment. It showed Iran's nuclear program had only been set back by a few months. Joint Chiefs Chair Dan Kaine says the strikes were carried out precisely as intended. He detailed the attack on the four Dough nuclear facility.
Weapons two, three, four five were tasked to enter the main shaft, moved down into the complex at greater than one thousand feet per second, and explode in the mission space.
While there is no way to independently assess just how much damage was done at the site, President Trump maintains the mission quote fully obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities. Israel has reportedly paused aid to Gaza after an Israeli official threatened to quit the government. Here's CBS's Lindagradstein.
Israeli press reports said that hardline Finance Minister Bitsalo Smotrich threatened to leave the government if aid continued to reach Hamas. He reportedly made the threat during a cabinet meeting after a video circulated on social media that showed armed individuals on AID trucks. Nitanya, who ordered the army to come up with a plan to prevent Hamas from getting the aid. Palestinians and Gaza said the armed men on the trucks were clan leaders, not members of Hamas.
And Hamas has reportedly denied any involvement in those attacks. Meantime, new data shows the US economy shrank more than initially reported in the first quarter of this year. Your CBS is Jill Fleschinger with an update.
We saw softness in consumer spending, but most importantly, this number is impacted by the fact that companies started to import very aggressively in the first three months of the year. Most economists believe that the shrinking of the US economy in the first quarter will reverse itself when the second quarter numbers are released.
The Commerce Department previously estimating the economy fell point two percent January through March. The Department now says that shrinkage was closer too, point five percent. It is much cool and a little bit wetter than it has been over the past few days. Most of us right now seeing temperatures in the upper sixties, low seventies, and certainly feeling
a lot less sticky and humid too. Those dew points are definitely down right now, a due point of about fifty two degrees in Boston, so that is far from a tropical feel outside, and you're going to notice this is the case. For the rest of the day. We
are seeing some showers, mostly south of Boston. I could have a few more pop up though outside the city, and we have temperatures in the sixties, couple of low seventies for tonight, cloudy with a passing shower and a lone near sixty Friday Tomorrow, mostly cloudy with a few showers, and we'll have a high in the upper sixties, maybe some low seventies, but overall about the same. Now for the weekend, we previously, before last weekend, had thirteen weeks in a row with rain on Saturday. I hate to
tell you about both days this weekend. We could have some showers moving through, so we break that trend of weekends without rain. I guess we're up to one.
Now take it.
I suppose high and both high on both weekend days rather in the low to mid seventies with occasional rain. Right now, our temperature sixty seven in Westford, sixty eight in Danvers, sixty six in Weymouth, and in Boston eleven oh five. It is overcast and sixty seven degrees. Well ten years ago today, the Supreme Court said I do to same sex marriage, years after Massachusetts first legalized it. Here's CBS's Matt Piper on this day.
Ten years ago, the Supreme Court gave same sex couples access to marriage nationwide, which was controversial at the time, but according to some polls, about seventy percent of Americans approve of it.
Today's celebration of the Obergafello the Hodges decision making love the law of the land is a celebration of hard work and triumph.
Donathan Love. It's with the Human Rights campaign, says trans people are now having their rights take it away.
We may feel daunted, we may feel under attack, but we are never alone, and we should take so much pride in the community that we build and the work that we're going to do together.
Ahead, Matt Piper, CBS News and you.
This morning, the Supreme Court is out with the ruling that could further restrict abortion accessinationwide. The High Court a short time ago ruling states can cut off Medicaid money to clinics like Planned Parenthood in a case out of South Carolina. Now, public health care money generally cannot be used to pay for abortions, but many Medicaid patients go to clinics like Planned Parenthood for other medical reasons than contraception,
cancer screenings, pregnancy testing, STI testing, and more. South Carolina blocked to all Medicaid money from going to clinics like Planned Parenthood because it provides abortions, regardless of what type of care the money was actually used for. Cutting off Medicaid dollars to clinics like Planned Parenthood deals a serious financial blow and could force closures even in places where abortion is legal. Schools out for summer in Newton, but when kids come back in the fall, officials say they're
getting serious about vaccines. Here's wbz's Jim McKay.
School officials say they will not be welcoming back to students and Newton who are unvaccinated, citing the dangers surrounding a recent chicken pox outbreak. If parents cannot get their kids up to date on vaccination, school nurses will be making them available to students around the beginning of the school year this fall. There will be religious exemptions and other specific health related exemptions that need to be signed off on by a doctor. Jim McKay, WBZ, Boston's News Radio, and a.
CDC advisory panel is now recommending a new RSV vaccine for infants.
The Preventied Advisory Committee's vote was five to two. It's suggesting babies under eight months who are born during or entering their first RSV season should get one dose of merks kleisrovermap. One of the dissenting panel members is concerned about deaths and clinical trials of the vaccine. The other is worried about the timing of the shot and that it might direct poorly with other.
Vaccines that as CBS as Michael Wallace. That same committee is expected to vote later on today on the safety of a preservative that is used in flu shots.
