to today's outage suffered by "the wall street journal" site and by united airlines. more on both of those in a bit. sources tell cnbc that the new york stock exchange problem may have been the result of an overnight software upgrade and traders got a little bit of warning because before the exchange opened this morning there was a bulletin sent out, we have got some kind of a technical problem. so, when it actually struck about 11:30 there wasn't panic there wasn't a big selloff, because there still was trading. these stocks that couldn't be traded on the new york stock exchange could be traded on the internet on something called bats. so, in summary, problem fixed, not a hack attack and no official word on what caused the worst technical outage ever to strike the new york stock exchange. >> steve handelsman, thanks steve. now to the other big computer glitch that's still causing a summer travel nightmare for thousands of people. united airlines was forced to ground some 3500

sparked several days of other instances of violence. well, with this arrest today we have now learned that this in fact, was not a rivalry or a feud between rival neighborhoods in northeast, but, in fact, the suspect and the victim were friends. >> reporter: indeed. the police chief says they were friends. she didn't say what the motive was, however this suspect is now charged with second-degree murder. they say they don't expect to make any more arrests in this and the investigation is still ongoing. she did say however that the notion that this was some beef between -- or among rival crews led to more violence in the streets and that neighborhood of trinidad and hopefully this arrest now will abate that somewhat, try to get on top of it and say they are approaching this from several aspects, community aspect as well as =5tz cf1 o a policing aspect. more on this later on news4. derrick ward news4. this just in at 4, jose andres says he is pulling out of his deal with donald trump

so long but the new store, the new restaurant does not what are your listeners saying about that whole thing? >> they are saying that they can kind of understand the history. of course, bill cosby and

tough for a lot of people, a lot of cosby fans because he has been such a moral icon and a father figure to so many here in the united states. you talk to a lot of listeners about that. what are their thoughts? >> their thoughts are interesting a lot of people swing you know different ways. some people are really just extremely upset. it didn't take this -- these revelations that came out in the last few days for them to arrive at their conclusion. in their opinion, bill cosby is certainly responsible for these actions. other people not quite feeling the same way. some people are saying -- one person told me, as a matter of fact, what's wrong with keeping the tv show on? it has nothing to do with the situation in his personal life. the tv shows, "the cosby show" obviously had a very positive spin, a positive impact in the community. and they would love to see the show stay on tv. of course, the networks that run those reruns are now saying that's not gonna be the case. >> troy
