From New York, the greatest city in the world, and where we're decking the halls with boughs of holly, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! The holidays are drawing closer, so Brandon's in the chair to inform you on the days' current events.
Some stories talked about on today's show were:
1. Akayed Ullah, the Bangladeshi immigrant accused of setting off a pipe bomb in the New York City subway system, appeared by video from a hospital room before a federal magistrate judge to face terrorism charges.
2. In an op-ed, Salma Hayek says that her refusals of Harvey Weinstein's advances led to a nightmare experience making the 2002 Frida Kahlo biopic "Frida."
3. A defense lawyer says there's more incriminating evidence against government cooperators than there is against three former South American soccer officials charged in New York in a corruption scandal.
