This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
It's a foggy, gray day out there in Boston. At eleven o'clock, it's fifty five degrees. Good morning. I'm Nicole Davis and here's what's happening the Karen Reid murder retrial.
Back from morning recess and right before the break, retired Canton police Lieutenant Paul Gallagher wrapped up his testimony the defense, questioning why he never searched inside the house at thirty four Fairview Rowe in Canton, where John O'Keefe's body was found Outside, Gallagher says there was no probable cause, a point that was repeated during the redirect.

You have absolutely wbz's Emma Friedman set to join us at eleven fifteen with the very latest. Be sure to tune in. We do have some developing news. At eleven oh one. The Trump administration has upped the ante against Harvard University. The school has now been told it will not be eligible for new federal research grants until it complies with the administration's list of demands. Among those demands, the White House wants Harvard to crack down on campus
protests and end DEI programs. This comes days after Harvard sued the Trump administration over billions of dollars in frozen federal funding. We reached out to Harvard and they tell us this latest move is the administration's way of illegally retaliating against that lawsuit. And also, the Justice Department is reportedly investigating a twenty twenty two traffic stop of Kilmar
Abrego Garcia. He is the man from Maryland whom the Trump administration has admitted to mistakenly deporting to his native El Salvador now two years ago. More than two years ago, he was pulled over in Tennessee while driving an SUV that was filled with other migrants. At first, police thought it was a case of human trafficking, but no charges were filed.
Souris.
ABC News investigators recently met with an inmate in Alabama, the owner of the suv kill maar Abrego Garcia was driving when he was pulled over in Tennessee in twenty twenty two.

Stephen Portnoy, ABC News Washington, and.
Later this hour, newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is got to meet with President Trump inside the Oval Office. Here's ABC's Karen Travers.
President Trump told reporters that newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is coming to the White House because he wants to make a deal on trade.
They all want to make a deal because we have something that they all want.
The US and Canada have been locked in a tense fight over trade since the President imposed tariffs on many Canadian goods. He's also repeatedly said he wants to take over Canada, making it the fifty first state. Carney's comeback election win last month was seen as something of a rebuke to Trump and his trade policies and rhetoric. Karen Traver's ABC News Washington.
For the rest of the afternoon it is going to be very gray and foggy again. We will have more showers, maybe a couple of thunderstorms, kind of strong ones coming through this afternoon and into this evening. Be sure to watch out for some ponding and flooding on the street, the usual spots you know that tend to flood in your town when we get a lot of heavy rain, so keep an eye on those. We have a high today in the low to mid sixties. For tonight, fog
sticks around. We have some lingering showers and a low in the mid fifties. For tomorrow, we could potentially see a little bit of sun in the afternoon, but then more showers and storms behind Year seventy and then we're warming up again on Thursday, sun followed by increasing clouds, some afternoon showers and high in the low to mid seventies temperatures. Right now, we're at fifty six in Framingham, some showers coming through, heavy rain in Lawrence where it's
fifty four. South of Boston right now, showers in Plymouth where it's sixty five, and in Boston at eleven oh five. It is overcast, a bit foggy out there. It is fifty five degrees. High school kids around the country are spending yet another spring preparing for the SATs, or at least taking them. Wbz's Jeremy Russ took a walk in their shoes.
If you had to take the exam for yourself, what would you score? Do I get to prepare or do it just have to take your problem? That is the million dollar question, isn't it fourteen fifteen fourteen fifty. That's the over under. I should mention that girl goes to MIT. But seriously, I really wanted to find out do I actually remember all that stuff from high school? So I
took a practice exam. Unless you say no, I certainly don't remember all that stuff from high school, but I was surprised by the amount of stuff I did remember. And in case you were wondering, the College Board says the mean score among graduating high schoolers last year was ten twenty four. If you wanted to try for yourself, Jeremy Russ WBZ Boston's News.

WBC's Jim McKay has more on the response to that there is nowhere else to go.
Rob is a daily commuter in Quincy who knows all too well about the parking problems near Quincy Center.
You can't park on the street here.
Especially when construction will soon start on a mixed use development anchored by a new Beth Israel Medical Center that's slated to get a twenty five million dollars boost to build a parking garage, money earmarked out of the millionaire's tax revenue. From House speaker Ron Mariano, who represents Quincy, Rob noted, it is a lot, but the city really will need that garage when the new project begins otherwise, so we're.
Going to have this issue where, you know, we're going to have people looking for parking spots that don't exist.

The referendum demanding the town removed the ban on selling tobacco and nicotine to anybody born on or after January first of two thousand and four. Now, considering this is non binding, the band that went into effect last month is still in place. It will stay that way unless the Board
of Health chooses to pull it back. Supporters say this is necessary to protect younger generations, Critics calling it government overreach.
