Fifty five degrees, some clouds in Boston. It's eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning. Good to be with you. I'm Nicole Davis, and here's what's happening. Today is one Boston Day, marking a tragic event that Bostonians will never forget. The city is honoring the victims, the survivors, and the heroes of the marathon twin bombings on its twelfth anniversary. Boston Maryor Michelle Woo and other officials a short time ago held a wreathling ceremony on Boylston Street, right by the marathon
finish line. WBC's Jared Brosnan has more.
But it is a thing of UDC and everyone gets together, reuniting. You know, I have to seeing something so tragic happened on our island on this day.
Twelve years ago.
Three lives were lost and hundreds more were injured in the Boston Marathon bombings. It's hard to find a Bostonian without a connection to this tragic day.
I was at the marathon now morning.
By the finish line.
People were running. We ran, and that was pretty scary. And then when you get up home and then you just hug your kids a little tighter.
My buddy's Cambridge detective and he was on the squad at the time, and I'm being worried about him, and it's amazing that he was a part of it.
In honor of the victims and to encourage acts of kindness, the city is celebrating one Boston Day today. Volunteering opportunities are also available, with a Franklin Park cleanup step for Saturday morning and a blood drive at Keimore Square on Marathon Monday from Boyleston Street.

At eleven oh one. Today was supposed to be the first day of opening statements in the Karen Reid murder trial, but instead it's become another day of jury selection. Both sides want to have eighteen people on the jury just to provide a buffer in case some have to drop out or something goes awry. They were not able to get there during proceedings yesterday, so as of now, sixteen
people are seated. Read is facing several charges, including second degree murder in the death of her boyfriend John O'Keefe. Her team claims she's being framed as part of a cover up. We could also learn more today about the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He is the Maryland man wrongfully deported to his home country of El Salvador and
placed inside of prison. A Brego Garcias deportation was the subject of the Oval Office meeting yesterday between President Trump and Salvador and President naib Bukell.
A stunning comment from President Trump caught on a live streaming camera before reporters were in the Oval Office, telling the President of El Salvador he'd like to send American citizens convicted of crimes to prisons in El Salvador.
He said, home grooms, then next the home runs. Billy, you get a about five more places.
Yeah, that's all right, it's not big enough.
Minutes later, with reporters in the room, Trump said he wants Attorney General Pam Bondi to see if the law allows this.
That is ABC's Terry Moran of the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate a Brego Garcia's return. During the meeting, though President Trump and President Bucell made it clear they will not be sending him back. New moves on Beacon Hill to codify protections for patients during exams. The Globe reports this new legislation comes in response to charges against Derek Todd. He's a former doctor at Brigham and Women's accused of sexually assaulting several of his patients.
Marble Head Rep. Jennifer Armini spearheading these new legislative proposals, which include a bill that, if passed, would mandate trained chaperones be present for genital, breast, and rectal exams unless a patient declines or it's an emergency. As of now, patients usually have to ask for a chaperone, although mass General Brigham says it has put a chaperone policy in place for quote sensitive exams or procedures we've cleared out
for the most part. For now, I am seeing a couple straight showers if you're on the Capan Islands, and also a couple more are popping up right now in central Massachusetts, think along the Mass Pike in places like Sturbridge and Charlton, right by the rest area. But for the rest of the afternoon, we'll start to see more of this heavy, steady rain coming in, maybe even a couple of thunderstorms as well, becoming breeze with the high in the mid sixties. For tonight, patchy clouds, very windy
out there. We have a low near forty Wednesday. Windy clouds will limit the sun so you'll see a little bit filtering through, but it's not going to be a perfectly sunny day. Unfortunately, a bit cooler as well. We have a high just about fifty tomorrow, but gradually through the rest of the week we will start to see and feel it warming up. Thursday, lots of sun, a great day, a high in the upper fifties, mix of sun and clouds. On Friday with a high in the
low to mid sixties. Our temp's right now fifty seven in Auburn, we're seeing fifty five in Waltham fifty four and peb fifty four as well in a Cushnet and in Boston right now at eleven oh six, it is it said, partly cloudy out there, and we're up to fifty seven.
Well.
Spring is a season of renewal, with beautiful trees and flowers coming into bloom, but unfortunately that also means it's time for the potholes to be renewed.
Spring is known for the sounds of birds chirping and around Boston.
It's also the sounds of this.
Road crews filling potholes as drivers do their best to dodge them.
But sometimes it becomes a fool's errand it is. I mean, you're talking thousands of.
Dollars want reflecting on some of his past pothole pain and man, does.
It cut deep. Insurance doesn't even cover a lot of it.
Mastot is stepping up efforts to patch up the worst of them, but let's face it, pothole problems just added to the list of driving headaches all around Greater Boston off Southern Artery and Quincy.

Salem is now officially a sanctuary city for transgender and non binary residents. The Salem News reports the city Council pass the resolution back on Thursday night. The vote was unanimous. Officials say this means they'll work to ensure all Salem residents and visitors have access to gender affirming care, work directly with the Salem Human Rights Coalition to tackle other equity issues, and support a safe school environment for kids of all gender identities. It is tax day, FYI. If
you haven't filed. You might want to get a move on here, because we've only got a few hours left.
Around the country, taxpayers will spend the day going through old receipts to submit with their itemized tax returns. But remember most people are finding that because the standard deduction is so high, they don't need to file an itemized return. Luis Garcia of VIRS says the standard deduction for TAXI or twenty twenty four has been boosted to twenty nine thousand, two hundred dollars for couples filing jointly fourteen thousand, six hundred four individual filers.
