From New York, the greatest city in the world, and where our rats have cell phones, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! The fall weather has been treating us well, but it's about to get almost summer like again- possibly for the last time. How does 70 degrees on Thursday sound?
Some stories talked about on tonight's show were:
1. A Bangladeshi immigrant on trial on charges he planned a New York City subway attack to support the Islamic State group has been introduced to prospective jurors. Akayed Ullah turned slightly toward about 75 potential jurors when he was introduced Monday in Manhattan federal court.
2.New York City is waiving nearly $20 million in fees owed by taxi cab owners in an effort to ease their financial burden after a string of driver suicides.
3. A New York City airport worker with a high-risk pregnancy says she had to fight to get her job back after asking to be transferred to a job away from jet exhaust.
