We just did a periscope about that and juliet had a scientific explanation. Juliet i suggest you look at our periscope from 15 minutes ago. Mike i was impressed but then i realized you are a cheater. Juliet i was just confirming what i already knew. Mike i tried to see if we could see the Northern Lights in the city and zero, that would be the son. Venus is out there. Our other weather nerd over there is big a map. She loves the planet. Mike theres a couple of the planets visible right nows. Juliet whats your favorite . Mike mars. Lets talk weather.

No. We will have clear skies, highpressure and control that we will see a north easterly winds. That will take our temps down just a bit, only a few degrees or so. We are looking at well above temperatures here in the tristate. Look at that configuration, it takes a big dip in the southwestern then to the west.

High of 69 tomorrow, more clouds making a come back tomorrow with only a few shower chances out there. That goes late tomorrow until friday morning and should dry out after that. Temps then go a little below normal by sunday of next week. Lets check in with ines and take a look at the commutes before the morning. Lets check out new jersey is fine, 70 into 80 no problems. Problems. Staten island expressways doing good. Traffic jams as you approach the Brooklyn Bridge. Earlier all lanes were closed by the Brooklyn Bridge because of a fire. Just as traffic really slow on the gowanus. Another problem on the b. Q. E. On the eastbound side. All lanes have been reopened, eastbound some delays. Lincoln tunnel about a ten or 15 minute delay and bow. Or ten. Trains are running out of close to schedule. Juliet you know that Quentin Tarantino movie . I like a lot of the pulp fiction, i love those movies. People. He is not backing down about police. Ben he is refusing to apologize for calling Police Officers murderers. Fox 5 robert moses has more about what he has to say. Reporter good morning. Tarantinos comments got an in large part due to the timing. They came during a ten month city when four cops were murdered on the job. Tarantino tarantino said his words were attempting to clarify. If you expected an apology from are not getting one. And his first Public Comments since murderers he told police entre E Los Angeles times he said he has a First Amendment right to protest against Police Brutality and im not backing down from that. He enraged Police Officers when i am a human being with a conscious when i see murder, i cannot stand by, i have to call the murder of murder and i have to call the murderers, murderers. Reporter , that the reality came days after criminal shot and killed an officer. All cops are not murderers he told the l. A. Times. I. I never said that and i never even apply that. In an interview with the paper he said his critics have one goal, it is to shut my mouth and even more important than that it is to send the message out to any other prominent person to please unions have called for a including thes new film, the Hateful Eights do for due for release on christmas day. They say tarantino is out of touch with the realities of policing. Tarantino lives in a fantasy world, in his movies are not understand violence and the nature of the violence that Police Officers confront. Unfortunately he mistakes lawful moves for murder. Reporter as we mention the Hateful Eight which is behind me, is due on christmas day. It is a group of bounty hunters who search for shelter during blizzard. Because of the man who directed the film. Ben and julia, sometimes all all actually adds to the growth. Well see what happens. Spee1 robert moses, think very much. It is 6 07 am. An attack on an 07 00 a. M.

We will go and make the determination of this is a hate crime are not. This case is still young. Juliet this is a concern it comes in a rash of stabbings in the jerusalem, tel aviv area. The worker, here is in stable condition this morning. Ben and on the speech rain another round of attack when a man two riders. 29yearold stanley gray randomly attacked to people he has been caught several blocks away and has been charged with assault. The victims injuries are not lifes threatening. Juliet before todays over democrats have tightened their grip on the state assembly, they won three more seats. Ben somewhat of a rebuke there for governor chris christie. And upset on long island. Singh us is the first time are 30,000 votes. Staten island are also voted for a new district attorney, the winner there with more than 21000 votes is Democrat Michael mcmahon. Mcmahon served in congress, the city council and practice civil and criminal law.

Which is why i stuff them and hang them on the walls. vo youd make a way better rich person. Lotto. Making more new yorkers ben a rare cosmic light show juliet look at that, that is the Northern Lights. Ben people in the northern and central parts of the United States can see it this week. Actually julie that is. Juliet it is caused by the earths particles of the sun charged particles collide lights. Ben bottomline, theres something going on that is making these Northern Lights be seen further south than they are. This is from nebraska, which is incredible. Apparently you is incredible. Apparently you could also see them in parts of this area, you have to get far from the city because you can have light pollution. You have to have a clear shot of the north horizon. Usually you can only see them in canada and alaska. For the next couple of nights, if youre lucky you can get a glimpse. Juliet maybe its the warming trend. Ben know it has nothing to do that. There she goes she goes and opens the door and displays a lack of knowledge. Mike it could do with gassy particles. Ben i think you just wanted to say gaseous particles. For an unusually, unseasonably warm november so far. We have a lot of beautiful fall color out there. These temps are not fall. 70s is your forecast high today. Normal high todays 58 degrees. The lows would drop down to the 40s, thats not happening. Heres what we have as it stands right now, 50 58 degrees in central park, 39 in poughkeepsie and monticello, 46 in bridgeport. Clear skies around the tristate. Skies are brightening up and we will be warming up as well. Wheres our wet weather . It is near the carolinas again.

Look at the future cast, tomorrow the cloud start coming back and winds coming from the southeast. A few friends tried to cross through the area. A little disturbance pass by with a few light showers late the shower chances are on a minimal side as it passes by. Todays high temple around 74 , the normal high guinness 58. Well above normal. 69 is. Well above normal. Sixtynine is your height tomorrow, 72 on friday. Amanda gets cooler and drier next week. Lets bring in ines and see what is going on with our commute this morning. Ines definitely everyone is back to work. Street cleaning rules are back in effect. Your commute in new jersey watch out for an accident by garden state parkway. Long island and Sussex County youre fine on the l ie. Lets go to cameras, staten avenue heading toward the verrazano bridge, so far so good. No problems on westbound side. 59th st. Bridge so far is a good option on the upper level and the lower level and lower level manhattan bound. B. Q. E. , earlier problems this morning that had it shut down but everything is reopened now. The traffic jam goes back to the gowanus. Trains. Trains are running on or close. Ben we need the second sooner rather than later. What was most open next december and out mayor to weisers calling to have him reconsider his decision to delay face to extending the Second Avenue subway. Juliet last week the mta cut 1 billion in funding from that project. Folks are not too happy about that. Teresa is in a critical area with more details on this. Reporter just imagine drawing a line right down the street here on 96. You have progress on one side, subway we have the habs going south and the havenots north. Thats the big problem here. Now that weve had a few days to sink in our elected leaders in east harlem residents are saying that mta statement about the facts that unfortunate something needs to be done, its unacceptable. East harlem is a history like Underprivileged Community and they deserve to have more opportunities. More access to jobs. Reporter now comes the backlash days after the east harlem extension wont be moving forward as planned, Community Activists and elected leaders would extend the subway line fifth street. It was supposed to start in early 2016, now it will not begin until 2020. Reporter we have to call this what it is, is a bait and switch, its switch, its economic injustice and its about bad bargaining. Reporter theyve taken 1 billion from the funds which pays for the extension. That that has a lot of people talking. The mta claims it is not about money it is about getting the right machinery and place. We could have all the money in world but we would not be able to be at that point in 2018. Theres no point putting 1 billion in tunneling tunneling and for not able to get to the tunnel. Reporter mayor diblasio was caught unaware and encourage them to rethink. I think it came to a surprise that there is a change in funding and i think that needs to be reconsidered to make sure everything is being done to move to phase two. Reporter but mta is saying if they can move up the environmental review, if they can up the engineering process, if they can get all the equipment needed to this area then, maybe the project might move ahead sooner than they are now saying that it will. Those are a lot of ifs, no one seems, but that will actually transpire. Juliet okay teresa. Ben thank you. Coming up business groups to block governor almost plans for minimum wage hike. Juliet we are pair scoping for the girl scout meeting. Okay. For the soccer team. For the girl scout meeting. How many meetings are you having . p at stop shop, prices are down. Savings are up.

An accident earlier this morning involving a truck that caught fire. All lanes are open and traffic is backed up to the gowanus. Ben thank you ynez. For the First Time Since he seemed to imply police are murderers at a rally in washington sq. , park, film director Quentin Tarantino over his comment. Juliet robert moses is here to tell us what he is saying. Hes not backtracking hes not backtracking hes just saying he is clarifying things. I believe what he says. Reporter the timing is the issue here. He he certainly has a right to say what he wants to say. Anything he told the l. A. Times is that he would not apologize. If you are looking for an apology from tarantino, keep on looking. He made his first looking. He made his first Public Comment sense cops murderers at a rally, this rally took place most call those comments insensitive because it came days after ofc. Holder was shot and killed on the job. He told the l. A. Times that all cops are not to murderers, i never said said that, i never even apply that. He also said his critics have one goal, quote to shut my mouth and even more important to send the message of those who need to join that side of the argument. They say tarantino is out of touch. Tarantino lives in a fantasy world, thats how he makes a living. His movies are extremely violent but he doesnt understand violence. He doesnt understand the nature of the violence that Police Officers confront, unfortunately he mistakes lawful use of force for murder, it is not. Check this out, this is tarantinos next film, the Hateful Eight which is due out on christmas day. By the way, who knew the way, who knew this film was coming out before all of this. Police unions are calling for a boycott, we do not know yet what effect that might have on turnout. In many cases publicity only adds to the intrigue surrounding films. Even though this has nothing to do with the films plot which is bounty hunters getting caught in a blizzard. It has everything to do with the man who directed the film. Juliet thank you robert. In a new national poll, if the the general election were happening today, doctor ben carson would beat hillary clinton. Ben the former secretary of state hat is losing to carson 50 to 40 . In the democratic primary standoff she could beat sanders getting 53 of the vote. In the meantime, donald trump leads with 24 of the vote and juliet the polls are all over the place. Moving on, fox means business. Ben joining us is adam shapiro. I lost my pen here but i am ready to go. Ben were talking about the epa mission scandal on the diesel is has grown to the larger vehicles like the vw for, the porsche, the suvs. They have a diesel and mission problem. Then the volkswagen and Parent Company in germany is saying an additional 800,000 vehicles now may be part of an admissions problem, not because of nitrous oxide but because of Carbon Dioxide emissions being falsified on gasoline powered so you have all of this driving down the share price of volkswagen set, more than 8 . Even worse is states attorney generals in the United States are filing lawsuits because they would have false and misleading, deceptive advertising when they said that engines were clean, efficient, efficient, and better than everyone elses which is not the case. At the end of the day, people who bought these cars the vehicles are not worth what they claim to be. This is not good. Ben their speculation in the New York Times that can volkswagen survive in america with its reputation . Its too early to tell that. They were the largest car producer in the world. They have followed by sales behind toyota, they make incredible cars. The biggest names, porsche, porsche, audi, but they have to get on top of this. Juliet is shocking. Adam. I prefer the oldfashioned clicky pen. Now they have the inky. Juliet you have to try out the bic velocity. Its fantastic. Ben but careful, she will steal yours. Thank you adam. You you can find adam at the Foxbusiness Network and check in with them next tuesday night for the next debate. Honda is dumping an airbag supplier over concerns that none of its noon models will have the airbag and platers. Juliet the airbag recall is costing the big money.

They say the big jump will likely force him to cut jobs or close down stores in some cases. Ben director Quentin Tarantino standing by his comments about Police Officers. He said he will not be intimidated. Juliet bad news for taxi and uber drivers. Theyre considering charging a fee for that. Ben which means theyll be charging a fee. It will be be between two and 4 and it will be for traffic that goes into the airports. It will just make it more expensive to make a car to the airport. Juliet makes it easier for us to get home and to the airport. Ben instead of using taxi stands as they do now. It sounds like it is a money grab. The Port Authority would never do Something Like that, right . Duke is over here what is going on. Duke Terry Collins will be sticking around with the mets.
