From New York, the greatest city in the world, and home to the $10 hamburger, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! The Kingsborough campus doesn't really get talked about all that much on the show, but now we can! Why? Brandon has the answers in the day's top stories.
Some stories talked about on today's show were:
1. New York City's chief medical examiner has ruled fashion designer Kate Spade's death a suicide by hanging. The determination was released Thursday, two days after she was found dead in her Park Avenue apartment.
2. The New York state Senate has unanimously passed a bill that would correct the spelling of a bridge that has been wrong for over 50 years.
3. A New York City Council member says he will sponsor gender-segregated beach days for his Jewish and Muslim constituents this summer. Councilman Chaim Deutsch announced the first-ever "Southern Brooklyn Beach Day," hosting separate dates for men and women on a rented beach behind Kingsborough Community College.
