From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! A developing story leads off our season 2 finale.
Some stories on today's show were:
1. A four-alarm fire burned through a large trucking center in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The fire at Elizabeth Truck Center on North Avenue spewed heavy smoke and flames that could be seen from nearby Newark Airport.
2. New York has confirmed the state's first positive test of the new virus that has sickened tens of thousands of people across the globe. A statement from Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office says a woman in her late 30s contracted the virus while traveling in Iran.
3. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. declared that Harvey Weinstein's conviction marked a “new landscape for survivors of sexual assault in America.” The verdict in the landmark #MeToo case also boosted Vance’s lagging legacy — a decade into a tenure clouded by concerns that he repeatedly gave powerful people special treatment.
