The parade kicks off about a block away from where we are. Barricades up along east parkway. There is sea of blue. Plenty of nypd officers will be here to make sure things stay morning. There was violence early this morning around 2 00 a. M. A fan suffered fatal stab wounds right around Grand Army Plaza and Eastern Parkway. No arrests in that case. But hopefully this day will be all about the celebrations and the joyous nature of this event. That stabbing took place during the preparade celebration known as juve. That is appetizer, a warmup for the main event that begins later this morning. That main event is the parade itself. West indian day parade kicks off at 11 00 at utica avenue and makes its way down Eastern Parkway to grand avenue. One Million People will line the route as smells of Caribbean Food and marchers will be decked out in those elaborate costumes such a fixture at this parade and take months to make. The festivities will wrap up about 6 00 tonight. Many people will be getting very little sl`ep between now and then. This is called juve. Celebrating the west indian culture. St. Lucia, barbados, dominica, guyana, jamaica, all the countries are there. How much fun are you having tonight . Im having a lot of fun.

Now coming up in our next hour, i mentioned those costumes. Well have a live look at some of the more elaborate costumes that you will see. That is always one of my favorite parts of the year, seeing costumes and finding out how long it took for them to be assembled. They are elaborate and they are beautiful. That is the latest, live from Crown Heights this morning. Ben, kerry, back to you. Robert moses, thank you. The minnesota dentist who killed cecil the lion spoke out First Time Since news of the killing was made public. Walter palmer, who you see here, he will go back to his dental practice and feels safe doing so. Story. Im glad he feels safe. I dont know about some folks. Of the Walter Palmer give a interview to the minneapolis star and tribune and talked about the uproar caused him, his patients, employees and his family. In this interview he says he believes his actions were legal. He had no idea he and his Hunting Party were basically tracking down one of zimbabwes prize animals. Although he adds if he had known that cecil had a name and was important to the country he wouldnt have killed the animal. Apparently it is not the case for all the other lions who dont have names in zimbabwe. But the 55yearold says he is getting back to work tomorrow, because im a Health Professional and need back to my staff and patients. They want me back and thats why im back. As for his phamly, he was concerned about them. He said this is especially hard on my wife and daughter. They have been threatened in social media. I dont understand that level of humanity to come after people, not involved at all. I think he has a point with that. The wife and daughter ostensibly had nothing to do with this so. The word humanity kind of makes me, i dont know. Just killing these animals just for sport a lot of people question that. Right. But that is mid tomorrow for the day, thank you. I have a feeling it will not be smooth sailing. Im guessing there will be protesters gathered there. Thank you very much.

Formal appeal this morning from the kentucky county clerk who is it sitting in jail after refusing to issue marriage licenses to samesex couples. There she sis. Kim davis. You probably heard of her. Attorneys made formal appeal. Theyre working to secure her freedom while she sits in isolation. Heres the thing. Davis is objecting to samesex marriage for religious reasons. So she stopped issuing all marriage licenses to either gay couples or to head row sexual couples back in june after the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationwide. Once her appeals were rejected by the Supreme Court, the judges decision continues to draw mixed reaction from gop president ial candidates. Here are two of those. I think what weve seen here is the overreach of the judiciary. This, if allowed to stand, without any congressional approval, without any kind of an enabling legislation is what jefferson warned us about. She is not running a church. I wouldnt force this on a church. But in terms of her responsibility i think she has to comply. She is elected official. She swore an oath of office. That oath included upholding the law. Frankly gay marriage is now the law of the land. She is it something behind bars. Her deputy clerks are issuing marriage licenses to all couples.

Fox 5 sat down with the rector that is more than excited about popes visit. When the pope arrives, the rector is greeting him on 5th avenue. I will certainly be nervous. I speak spanish and will be talking to him in spanish. The walk and the talk will be the greatest thrill. Since a boy shs hes been part of st. Pats and st. Pats part of him. My grandmother brought us here. He was born in washington hiebts and he was ordained at st. Pats in 1971. This is a picture of him with hiss parents on that day. He served four parishes in the bronx before appointed to rector of st. Pats. Dont call this his church. If you do, hell correct you. It is the Cardinal Dolans church. Hes experienced more than most do in a career. A chunk of marble fell and that signalled a massive over haul. Pope benedict came to st. Pats. Later in the year, ritchie was the first rector to ascend the north spire of st. Pats and touched the copper cross on stop. I said, you guys are going up there, but dont let other priests go up there until i have been up there. He had friends he didnt know existed. Everyone wants to see him. I cant tell you how many letters and emails and people calling me up and saying can you get me tickets, especially people i havent seen in 20 years. Ritchie will greet the holy father as hes greeted me and many others with a warm smile and a kind touch. It is that hospitality that ritchie shares that makes this house feel like a home. I have met the monsignor, and hes a very nice gentleman and knows a lot about the history. Coming up on good day, a no name in the music scene and performing for us on good day. Very nice people.
