It's a very foggy and wet morning in Boston right now, sixty two degrees, heaviestuff. The rain has moved out, but we do still have some showers. The forecast coming up. I'm Nicole Davis. Here is what's happening right now. The Supreme Court is hearing arguments over President Trump's challenge to guaranteed birthright citizenship. Here's ABC's Peter harlamboos.
On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order that sought to limit birthright citizenship to the children of US citizens. Within weeks, federal judges in four different states said the order was unconstitutional and blocked it from taking effect. The Supreme Court is now stepping in to determine if those judges overstep their authority when they issued nationwide orders. According to Loyola Law professor Justin Levitt.
Can one district court where can several trial courts around the country decide the scope of a rule banning the government from doing something? Across the board.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski is in Turkey today, where delegations from Ukraine and Russia are holding peace talks. Now Zelensky had challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet him there face to face. It does not appear that Putin will attend. During his trip to the Middle East, President Trump was asked if he was disappointed by that.
Nothing's going to happen until Putin and I get together. Okay, And obviously he wasn't to go.
He was going to go, but he thought I was going to go.
He wasn't going if I wasn't there.
CBS's MTS Taijab has more.
These talks haven't formally begun, and I have to say it's really not going very well. We have Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky accusing Russia sending what he described as stand in props to the peace talks in Turkey, which of course rather in Turkey's largest city, which of course is Issemble.
After Moscow.
Confirmed, as we've been saying, President Vladimir Putin will not attend.
Secretary State Marco Rubio says the Trump administration is still committed to seeing an end to the war in Ukraine. Pro Palestinian protesters are outside the Israeli Consulate in downtown Boston this hour. It's part of a worldwide movement to mark the seventy seventh anniversary of Palestinian displacement from present day Israel. This is what Palestinians call Knakba Day generally falls around the day Israeli celebrate their independence later today.
The Palestinian Youth Movement is also planning a larger protest at MIT. The group says MIT has been collaborating with the Israeli military and contractors in Gaza. The group says artists, workers, students, medical professionals, and others will come together to call for an end to the war and, among other things, an arms embargo on Israel. It is a bit rainy out there still in parts of eastern Massachusetts. Keeping an eye
on the radar. We have some downpours coming into a metro west and right around one twenty eight, and we have a few moving off the south shore and into Providence later on today, though, this fog is expected to burn off a bit and we'll maybe have a couple of pop up showers and storms later. Highs in the sixties, a little bit warmer if you're away from the coast, in the low seventies. For tonight, cloudy, with some more fog developing late, the humidity quite high. Right now. We
have a lone year sixty for tomorrow. That fog will stick around during the morning commute, that should burn off around lunchtime. And then for the afternoon, still pretty unsettled. Could have some afternoon showers well inland, with a high in the low seventies at the coast, mid to upper seventies inland. Some places could flirt with eighty perhaps Saturday, not quite as warm, but still in the low seventies.
And I hate to tell you, but for the start of the weekend yet again we have a chance of storms. Sixty five in Framingham, sixty two in Methuin, sixty five in Easton. In Boston it is foggy, we'll say, and sixty three degrees. Karen Reid retrial on morning recess Right now. Wbz's Drew moa Holland has details on what we've heard so far today.

It sounds a bit like something out of Antique's road Show, but researchers have now confirmed that Harvard University possesses an original version of one of the founding documents of democracy.
Historian David Carpenter was, as the Brits would say, gobsmacked. When I browsed through Harvard Law School's digitized archives turned up a thirteen hundred side original of the Magna Carta, the first document setting limits on the powers of a king. That's one of the rarest and most famous documents in world constitutional history. Well, that's more, Harvard Law School had no idea they possessed it. They bought it in nineteen forty six as a later copy.
Half of the Law school had bought it for peanuts.
Twenty seven dollars and fifty cents. In fact, it's now worth well a lot more. Vicky Barker, CBS News and Over.
