This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
Sixty two degrees in Boston. We've got some clouds in the city, showers just outside. Forecasts coming up in about three minutes. It's eleven o'clock. Good morning. I'm Nicole Davis. Here's what's happening the Karen Reid murder retrial. Officially in morning recess. The defense just finishing cross examining doctor Judson Welcher. He's a crash expert for the Commonwealth. Redirect is next
after the break. Now, Welcher is expected to be the final witness for the prosecution before they rest their case. Then it is the defense's turned call witnesses. Another family fight behind the scenes at Market Basket has led to a massive shakeup at the popular supermarket chain. CEO Arthur T. De Mullis and other employees, including his kids, have now been put on paid leave by the market's board of directors.
Board claims it has evidence Demulas was planning a work stoppage and say they've struggled to get insight budgets, capital expenditures and other items that require board approval. Those are things that we have tried for years to manage with him, and it has been resistant. That's his sitting thing is. A spokesperson for Demula says that board is made up
of members appointed by his three sisters. A family feud a decade ago led to week's worth of protests by employees who left their posts to join the picket line.
I just find it very hard to believe that anyone would turn on him with the support he had from his employees, which saved the company.
A spokesperson for Demula says, since then, he's led the company on a path that paid back the one point six billion dollars in financing that purchased the company, adding the notion that this board is going to conduct an investigation as a farcical cover for a hostile takeover.
That report there from CBS News. Boston's Brandon Truett hearing is underway right now in federal court over the Trump Administration's attempt to stop Harvard from enrolling international students. Head of this hearing, the administration reportedly gave Harvard thirty days to respond. That's according to The Boston Globe. At the hearing today, Harvard is asking for a preliminary injunction to stop this and part of their argument is that they
weren't given any time to respond and defend themselves. The White House is accusing Harvard of coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party and failing to protect students on campus from anti Semitism. Harvard says it is all retaliation for the school exercising its First Amendment rights and also developing this morning, a federal court decision has stopped most of the President's tariffs right in their tracks. But now the administration says it's appealing. Here's ABC Stephen Portnit.
A response to the ruling, The administration is asking the three judge panel to pause its own order pending appeal, saying that not doing so would cause a foreign policy disaster scenario that it would destroy a carefully negotiated agreement with China and shatter other talks still ongoing. The court ruled late Wednesday that President Trump exceeded his authority by invoking emergency powers that had never been used by a president to impose global terraff.
The judges ruling coming after several lawsuits were filed by a group of small businesses, and for the rest of the afternoon, the occasional shower we can't quite rule that out, but it looks like we're in a much better space
than we were even six seven hours ago. In the middle of the morning commute, just a few heavy showers passing over the Nantucket area and the vineyard parts of the Outer Cape South coast, you're seeing some rain and a little bit of very light rain making its way through parts of Metro West coming into just south of Boston. So again this afternoon, still unsettled. We have a temperature about sixty two or so on the coast, sixty eight
if you're north and west. For tonight, cloudy with some showers and spots alow in the mid fifties, clouds and sun. Tomorrow to wrap up the work week, another shower too is possible, high in the mid upper seventies, heavier study or rain developing later at night. And yet again for the twelfth or I think thirteenth weekend in a row, we have a rainy Saturday, but it's not conceis enough to be a nuisance though. Rain in the morning, with
some afternoon showers and high in the mid sixties. We're at sixty four in Sudbury, sixty seven in Lowells, sixty four in Brockton in Boston at eleven oh six, it is cloudy and sixty three. No matter how full you might feel, getting up and getting exercise after eating could lead to major health benefits.
