HEY KAREN DETROIT HIGH SCHOOL

BREAK DOWN HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO
PULL THIS OFF. LIVE FROM
DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS

THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK
OUTSIDE AND WONDER WHAT
COMBINATION OF WIND RAIN MAYBE
EVEN SNOW. YOU MIGHT SEE. TAKE A
LOOK RIGHT NOW. THAT IS AN ARBOR
IN THE FOREWARN FIRST FORECAST.
WE ARE TRACKING A RAIN SNOW MIX
INTO YOUR EVENING. LET’S GET TO
KIM ADAMS AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN

THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING, BUT
EXACT TRACK 40 RADAR SHOW. GOING
MOSTLY RAIN THROUGHOUT MUCH OF
DETROIT, A COUPLE OF BREAKS IN
WAYNE COUNTY RIGHT NOW, BUT
LET’S DO A LITTLE STREET LEVEL
MAPPING HERE AND YOU CAN SEE
THAT WE HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF
AREAS. UH NOT GONNA WORK FOR ME

THERE. THOSE WILL CONTINUE OVER
TONIGHT. OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND
INTO THE DAY TOMORROW, RIGHT
NOW. TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE
FORTIES, BUT WE HAVE WINDS THAT
HAVE BEEN GUSTING 30 TO 35 MPH.
THESE ARE THE MAXIMUM WIND GUSTS
IN THE LAST 24 HOURS AND YOU CAN
SEE A 35 MILE PER HOUR WIND
GUSTS AND PONTIAC. SAME THING AT
METRO 31 MILE PER HOUR WINDS IN
ANN ARBOR, WHICH MEANS WE HAVE
TO TALK ABOUT WIND CHILLS RIGHT
NOW IT FEELS LIKE IT’S IN THE
THIRTIES, BUT WE HAVE A NICE
WARM UP HEADED OUR WAY. WE’LL
TALK ABOUT THAT IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES. WELL IT’S BEEN AN
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AFTERNOON
FOR THE FAMILY OF 25 YEAR OLD
KEVIN BACON OVER IN CHINA WASI
IN A COUNTY COURTROOM, BACON WAS
MURDERED. HIS BODY DISMEMBERED
WAS BACK IN 2019 MARK DAVID
LUTON SKI PLEADED GUILTY TO OPEN
MURDER AND MUTILATION. BUT NOW
THE JUDGE HAS TO DECIDE WHAT
DEGREE OF MURDER HE SHOULD BE
GIVEN IT COULD BE FIRST DEGREE
SECOND DEGREE OR MANSLAUGHTER.
TODAY, THE COURT HAS BEEN
LISTENING TO A TAPED CONFESSION
FROM LUTON SKI THAT DETAILS HOW
HE MET AND MURDERED BACON. NO
DECISION HAS BEEN MADE. WE’LL
HAVE A LIVE UPDATE ON THE CASE
TONIGHT AT FIVE, THE STATE
HEALTH DEPARTMENT JUST RELEASED
THE LATEST NUMBERS ON COVID 19.
HERE IN MICHIGAN. IT COUNTED
MORE THAN 12,000 NEW CASES IN
THE PAST SEVEN DAYS, THE WEEKLY
NUMBERS HAVE BEEN KIND OF STUCK
IN THE SAME RANGE FOR THE PAST
THREE WEEKS, FOLLOWING BY JUST A
FEW 100 SINCE OCTOBER. 4TH
REMEMBER THOSE NUMBERS DO NOT
INCLUDE POSITIVE RESULTS FROM
HOME TEST. THAT ARE SHARED WITH
THE STATE. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT BE
SUFFERING FROM COVID FATIGUE,
BUT THE VIRUS IS STILL DEADLY.
THE NUMBER OF DEATHS LINKED TO
PROBABLE OR CONFIRMED CASES HAS
CLIMBED SLOWLY OVER THE PAST
THREE WEEKS, REACHING 173 TODAY
FOR CREW WAS OVER IN ROMNEY LIST
FOR THE GRAND OPENING OF A
KROGER FULFILLMENT CENTER. THIS
MORNING, THE COMPANY HELD A
RIBBON CUTTING TO MARK THE
OCCASION. 135,000 SQUARE FOOT
FACILITY WILL HELP EXPAND KROGER
DELIVERY SERVICES THROUGHOUT
SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. MORE THAN
700. PEOPLE WILL WORK. THEY’RE
USING ADVANCED ROBOTIC
TECHNOLOGY TO GET THE JOB DONE.
THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS ARE JUST
THREE WEEKS AWAY, AND TODAY
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN WANTED TO
PUT THE FOCUS ON THE BATTLE OVER
ABORTION AT THE BALLOT BOX. SOME
POLLS SHOW OTHER CONCERNS ARE
PASSING ABORTION IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT ISSUE, BUT WE KNOW
MICHIGANNATIVE DECISION THIS
NOVEMBER. SO WE’RE GONNA BRING
IN KIMBERLEY GIL IN THE NEWSROOM
COVERING THE PRESIDENT’S
COMMENTS. KIM KAREN GOOD
AFTERNOON. THE PRESIDENT SPOKE
JUST A FEW HOURS AGO, HE WAS
TRYING TO DRAW A VERY CLEAR LINE
BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS, HE SAYS REPUBLICANS
LIKE SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM WANT
TO PASS A NATIONAL ABORTION.
SHEN BAN, WHILE DEMOCRATS WANT
TO CODIFY THE PROTECTIONS ONCE
UPHELD BY ROE VERSUS WADE, BUT
HE SAYS RIGHT NOW DEMOCRATS
CAN’T MOVE FORWARD. RIGHT NOW.
WE’RE SHORT A HANDFUL OF VOTES
CARE ABOUT THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE.
THEN YOU GOTTA VOTE. THAT’S WHY
IN HIS MID TERM ELECTIONS ARE SO
CRITICAL LIKE MORE DEMOCRATIC
SENATORS TO THE UNITED STATES,
SENATE AND MORE DEMOCRATS TO
KEEP CONTROL OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVE IF REPUBLICANS
GET THEIR WAY WITH A NATIONAL
BAN. IT WON’T MATTER WHERE YOU
LIVE IN AMERICA, SO LET ME BE
VERY CLEAR. IF SUCH A BILL WERE
TO PASS IN THE NEXT SEVERAL
YEARS, I’LL VETO IT. MICHIGAN IS
A KEY STATE IN THE ABORTION
BATTLE THIS YEAR WITH PROPOSAL
THREE ON THE BALLOT, IT WOULD
PUT PROTECTIONS FOR WOMEN’S
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS IN THE STATE
CONSTITUTION. CURRENTLY AS YOU
KNOW, THERE’S A 1931 LAWMAKING.
MOST ABORTIONS ILLEGAL. RECENT
COURT RULINGS HAVE PUT
ENFORCEMENT ON HOLD. THE COURTS
ARE WAITING TO SEE HOW THINGS GO
ON NOVEMBER 8TH SO IF THE BALLOT
MEASURE FAILS, THE COURTS WOULD
DECIDE IF THAT 1931 LAWS SHOULD
BE ENFORCED, OR THE STATE
LEGISLATURE CURRENTLY CONTROLLED
BY REPUBLICANS COULD PASS NEW
LEGIS. INFLATION. RIGHT TO LIFE
GROUPS IN MICHIGAN ARE FIGHTING
TO DEFEAT PROP. THREE THE
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR
GOVERNOR, ATTORNEY GENERAL AND
SECRETARY OF STATE ALL OPPOSED
THE RIGHT TO ABORTION. OUR MOST
RECENT POLLING SHOWS MORE THAN
61% OF MICHIGAN, VOTERS WOULD
SUPPORT PROP THREE BUT WILL HAVE
THE MOST IMPORTANT RESULTS IN
JUST A FEW WEEKS. 20 DAYS. I
BELIEVE THAT’S WHEN THE ELECTION
HAPPENS. UNTIL THEN, KAREN WILL
SEND IT BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU, KIM. SURE THING.

I THINK NO RECORD BECAUSE I
DON’T WANT TO MESS UP OR
ANYTHING. SOON THEY’LL BE ASKING
AN ASTRONAUT ON BOARD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
THEIR OWN STEM QUESTIONS. MY
QUESTION WAS. HOW LONG WOULD THE
I S S BATTERIES LAST WITHOUT A
TIRED I WAS JUST WONDERING, YOU

LAST WITHOUT A CHARGE? HOW MANY
PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD KNOWS
SOMEONE WHO GETS TO SPEAK TO AN
ASTRONAUT? I KNOW 14 PEOPLE. WHO
GET TO SPEAK TO AN ASTRONAUT.
