Played on the big screen in times square. The headliners, trump and former hewlettpackards ceo, a spar over her looks and comments on planned parenthood. The most tweeted moments of the debate so far. Jim dolan watching this closely, taking close notes, hes here with the notes. Well, its getting late out there and the big money donors would be dropping out and giving up. Its not clear if the rest of the field did any real damage. Stage at the Reagan Library was crowded with republicans trying to make some progress against the steam roller that is donald trump. But he was hard to keep up with the level of bluster from the gops leading candidate. Not in a way, i made billions and billions of dollars. I never attacked him and believe me, theres plenty of subject matter right there. Was a failed governor in new york. He wouldnt be elected dogcatcher. There were some bold enough to take bush on. You want a casino gambling in florida. Yes, you did. Totally. You wanted it and you didnt get it. I was opposed to casino gambling before, during, and after. Especially hillary clinton. Mrs. Clinton is going to have to defend her track record. Her track record of lying about benghazi. Of lying about her emails. About lying about her servers. She does not have a track record of accomplishments. And for some, the advantages of being an outsider. Typically, politicians do things that are politically expedient. And they are looking for whatever their particular goal is. That is not the reason that i have gotten into this thing. There was the moment bush admitted smoking marijuana when he was young. So 40 years ago, i smoked marijuana and i admit it. Im sure other people might have done it and may not want to say it in front of 25 million people. My mom is not happy that i just did. Much of the oxygen was used up attacking the man in the middle. Donald trump, and some believe mr. Trump has gotten a free pass on his lack of specifics during the campaign. You should ask him details about the Foreign Policy issues, you better be able to lead our country on the first day. Not six months from now. Carly fiorina was the new kid on the block. Probably opened up a lot of eyes. Bill. Okay, jim, thank you. Were following breaking news.

Big news about the commute tomorrow morning. The commute for passengers on the l. I. R. R. , expected to finally be back to normal in the morning. That pledge moments ago from the l. I. R. R. Of course, the same pledge made last night, workers frantically trying to clear the derailment that has mangled the commute for tens and thousands of people. The Freight Train flipping over. Josh in the village with the latest. Josh. Well, bill, just for a sense of why this has taken so long. Lets get a tour of the site. This is one of the freight cars. Its on its side in somebodys backyard. Pull it off the tracks up there, but their problem has had to do freight car that came off the tracks. You can see it through these trees right here. It is so badly damaged. It has taken all this time just to repair it enough so they can get back on the rails and tow it out of here. Only then can they start the process of getting the commute back on track. [ music ] they say music can lighten your mood, not tonight. It was not happy here at penn station. 23 miles east, work crews continued struggling to repair track. Damaged when a Freight Train derailed commutes for tens and thousands of people on the l. I. R. R. Port jefferson branches. Tonight, trains ran in just one continued. Buses bridging the space between carl place and hicksville and the other. The railroad says it is doing its best return to normal. But the same 3rd inning thing last night. It took me about two hours to get here. Usually takes me 40 minutes. So thats pretty bad. This job was a lot more complicated than just riding the freight car that toppled on to its side. The damage to the underlying track was a lot worse than it initially looked. 1,000 feet of track that was damaged. Significantly damaged. I mean, the third rail, regular rail, ties, all of that. Today, commuters endured another grueling round trip, hoping for a better day tomorrow. Sometimes things just break and you have to adapt to it and do the best you can. And back live, they are getting to move that freight car out of here. That will take longer before they can do that. What you cant see is all the damaged rail and third rail that they have to wait to move that train car out of here before they can fix. The Long Island Railroad tonight says they will get it all done by the morning. But it is going to be a very long night before they can finally open things up for good here. Were live in westberry long island, channel 7 Eyewitness News. Josh, thank you. Any updates, of course, tonight, well post on our facebook and twitter pages and the latest on Eyewitness News this morning beginning at 4 30 a. M. Developing right now, a powerful earthquake strikes off the coast of north chile killing three people. Right now, the entire coast of chile is under a tsunami warning and hawaii and Southern California are under a tsunami advisory. The massive 8. 3 magnitude quake shook chiles capital, causing buildings to sway and people to run out into the streets. There is flooding in some coastal cities and Authorities Say some buildings collapsed. 175 miles north of santiago. The Football Player who bashed an opponent with the helmet then kicked off the team and suspended from school. Tonight, saying it was an accident that was simply blown out of proportion. According to his attorney, meanwhile, the victim who took the blow to the head, number 73, was back on the field practicing today. And video from last weekend, you see the lyndon lineman apparently rip off number 73s helmet and bash it into his head causing a wound that required ten stitches. More trouble for the rutgers football team. This time the head football coach suspended and fined for doing something forbidden in college sports, contacting a professor about a players grades. Kyle floods problems, the latest for the scarlet nights. A. J. Ross on campus with the latest. A. J. Here we are just days away from a huge big 10 clash with penn state. Has drawn yet another penalty. As you mention, kyle wont be with the team. He is suspended and this is just the latest in what has been a long string of controversial headlines that no doubt impacted team moral. Just three weeks into the season, Rutgers Football Program is imploding with head coach, kyle flood, now suspended for the next three games for violating University Policy and reaching out to a professor to discuss a grade change for one of his players. Flood sent a letter from his personal letter to arrange a meeting saying quote, i am sending it from my personal e mail to your personal email to ensure there will be no personal vetting from the correspondents. Its the talk of the campus. We are waiting to see what comes of this. And a release, administrators first learned of the allegations in august. And immediately hired an outside investigator and council to look into the matter. Although no great change occurred, the investigation revealed the contact between flood and the faculty member was inappropriate. And administrators say theres no excuse for flood not knowing the rules. For him to go out of his way to cover his athlete, i guess, is not fair to everyone else in the university. Students who think this is way too harsh of punishment. I think its a good start. Floods suspension is the latest in what has been a hailstorm of controversy, surrounding the Rutgers Football Program. A series of recent arrests led to six players being kicked off the team in just the past two weeks. Not to mention, just days ago, star wide receiver was suspended indefinitely after he was arrested and charged with simple assault and a Domestic Violence case. Its not looking too good. Its sad, i wanted a successful football season. Its a big blow, its not the first blow. It keeps bringing our guys down and hopefully, well win this weekend out of penn state. Well see what happens. We will see what happens and in addition to that threegame suspension, flood was tackled with a 50,000 fine.

By the way, he uses the hashtag, i stand with amed. And Mark Zuckerberg posting on facebook saying his invention should lead to applause, not arrest. And invited him to facebook to visit. Now, we hear from the boy. So, i guess everyone knows im the person who built a clock and got in a lot of trouble. The 14yearold smack in the center of a controversial flash point. Involving religious and ethnic stereotyping. I built a clock to impress my teacher, but when i showed it to her, she thought it was a threat to her. So, it was really sad that she took the wrong impression of it. It happened in irving, texas, a suburb of dallas. This is the clock. The teacher freaked out, she called the principal, who called the cops. We have to err on the side of caution. Thats a very suspicious device. We live in an age where you cant take things like that to school. The police chief may think like that, but the commander in chief doesnt. President obama tweeting an invitation to visit the white house. As for that police chief, well hes now trying to show a change of heart. I think this wouldnt be a question if his name wasnt mohommed. As for young amed, being an inventer is his passion. I really want to go to m. I. T. And im thinking about transferring schools from the different school. For now, hes the boy who stood up to authority and he seems to know hes part of a movement. I will try my best not just to help me, but to help every other kid in the entire world who has a problem like this. Dont let people change who you are, even if you get a consequence. I suggest you still show it to people. By the way, charges against him were dropped, but his suspension from school wasnt. Its not officially lifted until tomorrow. As for that invitation to the white house, sent and accepted. Next month, he will participate in astronomy night at the white house. Astronauts talking about space.

Upper 50s on the island will drop into the upper 60s in new york city. Again, just like today, lots of sunshine, low humidity, light wind, and we should top out in the upper 80s once again. Satellites mainly clear. A few high clouds that are creeping up the coast. Make for a pretty sunrise tomorrow morning across southern new jersey. But really, big area of High Pressure fending off much of the moisture to the south. Just a couple clouds, which will shift offshore. Once that high moves to our east, then we get exposed to some of the moisture in the south and that front to the west. Thats over the weekend. The truth is, these two systems arent going to merge. So were still in a safe spot inbetween the two with extra clouds over the weekend and worse case maybe the stray shower by the time we get to the end of the weekend. Lows tonight, little chill in the morning. So maybe a light jacket at the bus stop. Well north and west. Really all the suburbs kind of a cool feel with the low humidity. But then a nice warmup. Carrying the jacket in the afternoon. Low humidity and a lot of sunshine. So very warm tomorrow, there goes the high offshore as we go on friday. Well be watching the cloud patch.
