This is wb Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.
There sky is a wing from the west right now in Boston, where it's seventy four degrees. It's eleven o'clock. Good morning. I'm Nicole Davis and here's what's happening in death at the Karen Reid murder re trial. Right now, crash expert doctor Andrew Wrenchler is on the stand. He is testifying about the injuries found on John O'Keefe's arm, saying the arm would be turned away from flying pieces of the tail light if the suv had backed into.
Him, because those pieces that fracture haven't gone anywhere because they're against the arm itself, and then as the arm moves away, the pieces then move with the vehicle.
Wrenchler is set to be the final witness for the defense read will not be testifying on her own. Behalf now to Los Angeles at eleven oh one, where we're following yet another day of protesting against immigration rates. It was a curfew on a part of the downtown last night that has now been lifted for the day. The Trump administration deploying thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines decisions, California Governor Gavin Newsom says are brazen abuses of power.
California maybe first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived.
And more than a dozen Attorneys general around the country agree, including Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell saying the decision is quote unlawful, on constitutional and undemocratic. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, meantime, has now become the first in the country to announce he will deploy National Guard troops in response to protests in his own state. It does appear now that those National Guard troops in LA are doing more than just responding to protests. Here's ABC's Alex Stone.
The role of the National Guard is now going beyond crowd control around federal buildings here and now. Because the Guard was federalized by President Trump, guardsmen are now going on ice raids and protecting the federal agents as those raids go down. The commandant of the Marine Corps told Congress the military is protecting federal personnel. Governor Gavin Newsom had said he thought the National guardsman might be used
to go on ice raids. He's asking a cord to stop California's National Guard from being ordered to do so.
And on the other side of the country, President Trump is defending his decision to deploy those troops.
I'm Lynda Kenyon in Washington. The governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles say the President overstepped, but Trump disagrees.
We will not be deterred.
Speaking to troops at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the President said he did what he had to do. We will use every asset at our disposal to quell the violence.
And we're still Alonoa right away.
We're not going to wait seven days and eight days and wait for a governor that's never going to call and watch cities burn. California's governor says the president's actions are inflaming the situation. Lynda Kenyon CBS News Washington.
Right now, when we look at the forecast, we are looking pretty good out there for the rest of the day. Fair skies. Right now, we have an breeze coming from the west about ten to fifteen miles an hour, and it's not as humid as it has beens. That's certainly a plus and it will look quite nice out there for the rest of the afternoon. Might notice a bit of the haze from those Canadian wildfires is back in our neck of the woods, so just be sure to not be too alarmed by that. We have a high
today in the low eighties. For tonight mostly clear, low year sixty five, and then for tomorrow more of that haze, gustier breeze. A high in the mid upper eighties, goes to eighty for the capin Islands, and then for your Friday, a mix of sun and clouds, a high in the mid seventies. Showers return at night yes Saturday, for the thirteenth weekend in a row. It will be wet, it will be cool, and it will be gray. High only
just about sixty right now. Temperatures where at seventy six on the capein Barnstable, seeing seventy four right now in Providence, seventy five in Nashua. In Boston at eleven oh five. It is we'll call it partly cloudy out there, and seventy four degrees. Whole food shoppers darting to notice the effects of a recent cyber attack against the chain's top distributor.
I'm pretty concerned.
Warren lives in Hingham. She has a restricted diet due to a medical condition, and Whole Foods is her go to. Hearing about this cyber attack certainly has her attention.
Neally not that concerned about things like this, but in this case.
I am Providence based. United Natural Foods is a distributor who was targeted in this cyber attack. They have a massive deal with Whole Foods and they serve some thirty thousand stores around the country in total. They're hoping to have their systems back online and problem free by this weekend.
Not great, but it's a mistake.
Until then, you may see some empty store shelves, in unfulfilled orders, a distribution disruption, and the digital age in Hingham. Jim MCKAWBZ Boston's News Radio.
Eleven o six President Trump saying today the White House has finally struck a trade deal with China. Not too much is known about the agreement. It is expected, though, to get trade relations back in line with the deal last month, which fell apart as China kept her restricting shipments of magnets and rare earth minerals. Mark Hogan, chief market strategists at b Riley Financial joined our own Jeff Brown Live this morning to talk about the impact of the agreement.
I think the real good news is that the USA China is talking and we've come to a truce, and we've got the framework for what a deal will look like. I think over the coming weeks will flesh out much more of the detail of what this means.
The deal does still need final approval from President Trump and the Chinese president Shei Jinping. So far, when it comes to Wall Street, it looks like all three of the majors are higher. On the news, we're also getting a look at inflation today. Here's ABC's Jim Ryan.
What a month to month basis, the prices we pay for nearly everything rose one tenth of a percent between April and May and two point four percent over the past twelve months. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the increase was driven largely by the rising price of housing and food. While the latest increase in CPI is small, observers on Wall Street see the bill for US tariffs may come due in the coming months.
Inflation does appear to be relatively stable. It is still above the FEDS two percent target and at eleven oh seven before we take a look at Bloomberg Business. An update now to a story we brought you last month. The state of Massachusetts has now opened up an investigation into Boston's Liberty Hotel. Last month, a hotel employee misgendered and harassed a woman in one of the bathrooms. The hotel says no it is making amends to the woman,
Ainslie Baker, and her girlfriend, Liz Victor. It's also taking corrective action and putting new sensitivity training in place. Baker's lawyer telling The Globe he is grateful the state is taking steps to investigate the situation. You are now in the loop for news updates throughout the day.
