AND FOR ONE METEOROLOGIST, KIM ADAMS, WE HAVE A MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN HEADED OUR WAY RIGHT NOW.
IT’S ALREADY DOWN TO 39 DEGREES
IN LAPEER 41 IN ANN ARBOR WILL
HAVE YOUR FORECAST IN JUST A
MINUTE. ALRIGHT KIM, ALSO FIRST
AND FOUR. PROSECUTORS SAY FIVE
WOMEN FACED UNWANTED TOUCHING ON
A COLLEGE CAMPUS TODAY. WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT THE CHARGES IN
THAT CASE, AND HERE’S
PRIYA MANN. JEWISH ADVOCACY
GROUPS IN METRO DETROIT,
SOUNDING THE ALARM ABOUT THE
RISE IN ANTI SEMITIC BEHAVIOR
AFTER A YOUNG TEEN IN OAKLAND
COUNTY IS ARRESTED. LIVE FROM
DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS
FIRST AT FOUR STARTS NOW. GOOD
AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY. I’M KAREN
DREW FIRST AND FOUR COULD WE SEE
THE FIRST WET SNOWFLAKES OF THE
SEASON IN MID OCTOBER? IT’S
BREEZY. IT’S CHILLY MONDAY
AFTERNOON RIGHT NOW, AND OF
COURSE, THE UPPER PENINSULA DOES
GET THAT SNOW. FIRST WE HAVE
THIS VIDEO FROM MARQUETTE
COUNTY, THERE COULD BE A FOOT OF
SNOW. BY TOMORROW. NOW DOWN HERE
, IT’S JUST RAIN RIGHT NOW. BUT
THE QUESTION IS, WILL SNOWFLAKES
MAKE AN APPEARANCE? LET’S CHECK
IN WITH KIM ADAMS. I WAS OVER IN
OXFORD, KIM. I WAS LOOKING. I
FELT LIKE I MIGHT HAVE SEEN A
SNOWFLAKE. I MIGHT HAVE HAD TO
REALLY LOOK CLOSELY. I WAS
DRIVING IN FROM THE WEST SIDE
LIKE I THINK THAT’S A SNOWFLAKE
. IT’S DEFINITELY MIXED IN MOST
OF THE MIX RIGHT NOW, AND THE
LIGHT SNOW IS FALLING IN FLINT
AND LAPIERRE WILL ZOOM IN A BIT
CLOSER FOR YOU HERE. YOU CAN SEE
THE LINE RIGHT HERE. NOW THIS
YELLOW, SOMETHING CALLED BRIGHT
BANDING. THAT’S NOT AN AREA OF
HEAVY RAIN RIGHT NOW. THAT’S
JUST BASICALLY REALLY WET
SNOWFLAKES FALLING AND THAT’S
WHAT THE RADAR IS DETECTING
MELTING BEFORE IT HITS THE
GROUND, BUT THE SNOW RIGHT NOW
IS REALLY CONFINED TO OUR NORTH
. WE COULD, HOWEVER, SEE A FEW
FLAKES AROUND HERE MIXING IN,
YOU CAN SEE THE AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE. WHIRLING AROUND HERE
AND BRINGING US THE RAIN WITH
THE POSSIBILITY OF JUST A FEW
WET SNOWFLAKES. WE ARE NOT
EXPECTING ANYTHING IN THE WAY OF
ACCUMULATION. IN FACT, THERE’S
70 DEGREES IN OUR FUTURE
FORECAST. SO WE ARE NOT. WE ARE
NOT TO WINTER JUST YET. HANG ON.
I’LL SHOW YOU THAT FUTURE
FORECAST IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. KIM DETROIT
MAN FACING SEVERAL ASSAULT
CHARGES TODAY ACCUSED OF
TOUCHING FIVE DIFFERENT WOMEN
OVER AT WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY
PROSECUTORS HAVE CHARGED 58 YEAR
OLD FREDERICK BARNETT. THEY SAY
HE ACCOSTED THE WOMEN BACK ON

HOUSE ARREST. BARNETT IS
EXPECTED BACK IN COURT ON
OCTOBER 24TH. CITY BASED POINT
JUST REVEALED NEW LEAD TESTING
RESULTS AND HAS SCHEDULED A
WATER FILTER DISTRIBUTION FOR
LATER THIS WEEK. CITY SAYS FIVE
OF 30 TEST SITES EXCEEDED THE
ACTION LEVEL FOR LEAD LEVELS
BASED ON PARTS PER BILLION. THE
ACTION LEVEL IS NOT A VIOLATION
OF MICHIGAN SAFE DRINKING WATER
ACT, BUT IT DOES TRIGGER FURTHER
STEPS LIKE EDUCATING HOMEOWNERS
AND SHARING WATER FILTERS. TO
THOSE WHO QUALIFY, THE CITY IS
HOSTING A DRIVE THROUGH FILTER
DISTRIBUTION EVENT THAT IS
WEDNESDAY FROM 3 TO 7 IN THE
EVENING, AND THAT GOES ON AT THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS. WELL
IF YOU ARE A DETROIT VOTER WHO
HAS PERHAPS SOME OTHER PLANS ON
NOVEMBER 8TH EARLY VOTING
CENTERS JUST OPENED TODAY TO
MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER TO CAST
HER ABSENTEE BALLOT. CITY CLERK
JANICE WINFREY SAYS THERE ARE 13
SATELLITE CENTERS AROUND DETROIT
. YOU CAN START BY TO FILL OUT
YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOTS, THEY WILL
KEEP SAFE UNTIL ELECTION DAY
WHEN CLERKS ARE ALLOWED TO START
COUNTING THOSE BALLOTS. THE
CENTERS ARE OPEN FROM 9 TO 5
MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, AND WE’LL
ALSO BE OPEN THE WEEKEND BEFORE
ELECTION DAY. BY THE WAY ARE
CLICKONDETROIT’S TEAM HAS
CREATED A DIGITAL ELECTION GUIDE
WITH TONS OF INFORMATION ABOUT
THE 2022 ELECTIONS. YOU CAN FIND
DETAILS ON LOCAL RACES, VOTING
LOCATIONS THAT ARE NEAR YOU, AND
ALSO SOME IMPORTANT DEADLINES TO
MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS. JUST
HEAD TO THE ELECTIONS PAGE AT
CLICKONDETROIT.COM GUNFIRE,
EXPLOSIONS AND FEAR THAT HAS
BECOME REALLY THE NORM FOR
UKRAINIANS ONCE AGAIN AS RUSSIA
HAS STEPPED UP ITS AIR ATTACKS
FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK. NOW TAKE A
LOOK AT THIS VIDEO FROM KEITH.
WE DON’T HAVE A LOT OF DETAILS
ABOUT WHO SHOT THE VIDEO, BUT IT
SEEMS TO BE TAKEN FROM INSIDE AN
APARTMENT. EVENTUALLY YOU SEE
THE SMOKE FROM THAT EXPLOSION
RISING INTO THE AIR KIMBERLY
GILL IN THE NEWSROOM WITH MORE
ON THE LATEST WAVE OF ATTACKS.
KIM YEAH. UKRAINE’S MILITARY HAS
REPORTING WAVE AFTER WAVE OF SO
CALLED SUICIDE DRONES. IT SAYS
SOLDIERS ON THE GROUND HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO SHOOT THEM OUT OF THE
AIR. TAKE A LOOK AT ONE SCENE
CAUGHT ON CAMERA HERE.
JUST A BARRAGE OF GUNFIRE. LOOK
AT THAT VIDEO. UKRAINIANS SAY
ENERGY FACILITIES HAVE BEEN HIT
, AND AT LEAST FOUR PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN KILLED BY THE DRONES THAT
HIT THEIR TARGETS. THE VICTIMS
INCLUDE A WOMAN WHO WAS SIX
MONTHS PREGNANT AS WELL AS HER
HUSBAND, ANALYSTS HERE THE
DRONES WILL BE A MORE COMMON
MODE OF ATTACK IS RUSSIA TRIES
TO CONSERVE ITS LONG RAGE, LONG
RANGE PRECISION MISSILES AND.
THERE’S EVEN MORE VIDEO FROM
UKRAINE’S CAPITAL. THE CITY’S
MAYOR SAYS SEVERAL BLOCKS OF
APARTMENTS WERE DAMAGED. THE
DEATH TOLL AND THE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE INJURED COULD RISE
FURTHER AS SEARCH AND RESCUE
OPERATIONS CONTINUE. WE’RE TOLD
MORE THAN A DOZEN PEOPLE WERE
ALREADY RESCUED FROM ONE
BUILDING. UKRAINE HAS GAINED
GROUND AGAINST RUSSIA IN THE
SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PARTS OF
THE COUNTRY. RUSSIA HAS BEEN
USING THOSE GAINS. AND AS AN
EXCUSE TO CARRY OUT THESE
ATTACKS ON RESIDENTIAL AREAS,
AND MEANWHILE, IRAN IS ONCE
AGAIN DENYING THAT IT IS
SUPPLYING RUSSIA WITH WEAPONS.
UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS HAVE MADE
THE ALLEGATIONS IN THE PAST. THE
EUROPEAN UNION SAYS IT’S
GATHERING EVIDENCE AND IF THE
ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE, IT WILL
TAKE ACTION. THE DRONES
CHALLENGE UKRAINE’S AIR DEFENSES
, WESTERN NATIONS ARE STILL
PROMISING NEW FIREPOWER BUT
DELIVERY. COULD BE MONTHS AWAY.
KAREN, THAT’S IT. FOR NOW. WE’LL
SEND IT BACK TO YOU IN THE
STUDIO FOR MORE NEWS OF THE DAY,
ALL RIGHT, WE’LL CHECK BACK WITH
YOU AT FIVE. THANKS, KIM. WE
ALSO HAVE THIS VIDEO OUT OF
RUSSIA AFTER A WARPLANE SUFFERED
ENGINE FAILURE AND THEN CRASHED
IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. IT
HAPPENED IN THE FAR SOUTHERN
PART OF RUSSIA RIGHT NEXT TO
UKRAINE. AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE
DIED. THE WAR PLANE WAS TAKING
OFF ON A TRAINING MISSION. THE
CREW ESCAPED, BUT THE PLANE
EXPLODED ON IMPACT BURNING AT
LEAST 17 APARTMENTS. THIS IS THE
10TH REPORTED NON COMBAT CRASH
OF A RUSSIAN WARPLANE SINCE
MOSCOW LAUNCHED ITS INVASION OF
UKRAINE. FORMER ADVISER TO
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS JUST
DAYS AWAY FROM BEING SENTENCED,
AND PROSECUTORS WANT HIM BEHIND
BARS. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
IS PUSHING FOR SIX MONTHS IN
PRISON FOR STEVE BANNON. HE WAS
CONVICTED FOR CONTEMPT OF
CONGRESS REFUSED TO TURN OVER
DOCUMENTS OR TO TESTIFY BEFORE
THE JANUARY 6TH COMMITTEE.
PROSECUTORS ARE ALSO PUSHING FOR
A FINE OF $200,000. BANNON IS
SCHEDULED TO BE SENTENCED THIS
COMING FRIDAY. FROM A LOCAL
TEENAGER TO ONE OF THE MOST
FAMOUS MEN IN THE WORLD. WE ARE
SEEING MORE SIGNS OF ANTI
SEMITISM BECOMING VERY PUBLIC.
LOCAL JEWISH LEADER SAYS THE
INCIDENTS MIGHT BE PART OF A
LARGER CHALLENGE FACING ALL
MINORITY GROUPS. HE SAT DOWN
WITH PRIYA MANN ABOUT THE POWER
OF WORDS AND HOW HE BELIEVES
SOCIETY NEEDS TO FIGHT BACK.
JEWISH ADVOCACY GROUPS IN METRO
DETROIT SAY THERE’S BEEN A
NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN ANTI
SEMITIC BEHAVIOR ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. NOW A YOUNG TEEN IN
OAKLAND COUNTY HAS BEEN ARRESTED
FOR THREATS HE MADE ON LINE. I
WAS VERY SURPRISED BECAUSE YOU
KNOW YOU LOOK AROUND. I FEEL SO
COMFORTABLE HERE. I WEAR MY
KEYPAD EVERYWHERE. BUT AFTER A
14 YEAR OLD FROM OXFORD TOWNSHIP
, WAS ARRESTED FOR THREATENING
TO KILL JEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
PATTON SAYS HE’S DEEPLY
CONCERNED. I HOPE THAT WE CAN
EDUCATE THE 14 YEAR OLD. I HOPE
THAT WE CAN TAKE HIM TO THE
HOLOCAUST CENTER, WHICH WE HAVE
HERE. THE HUNTINGTON’S WOODS
FATHER IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF THE JEWISH RELATIONS COUNCIL
, HE SAYS THERE’S BEEN A
DISTURBING RISE IN ANTI
SEMITISM. COMFORTABLE AS WE FEEL
IN AMERICA. WE ALSO FEEL
VULNERABLE AND THESE WORDS
REALLY MAKE US FEEL SCARED.
EARLIER THIS MONTH, THE ARTIST
FORMERLY KNOWN AS KANYE WEST,
WAS CRITICIZED BY THE ANTI
DEFAMATION LEAGUE AFTER POSTING
ANTI SEMITIC RHETORIC. SEVERAL
OF HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS
WERE LATER LOCKED. I THINK THAT
THERE IS A GROWING IMPRESSION
OUT THERE THAT PEOPLE CAN GET
AWAY WITH SAYING HATEFUL THINGS
, ANTI SEMITIC THINGS RACIST
THINGS, HOMOPHOBIC. THINGS.
PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH IT AND WE
HAVE TO START STANDING UP MUCH
STRONGER REPORT BY THE ANTI
DEFAMATION LEAGUE FOUND ANTI
SEMITIC INCIDENTS IN THE US
REACHED AN ALL TIME HIGH IN 2021
. THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE BEING
CAUGHT IN THIS VICE FROM THE
EXTREME LEFT AND THE EXTREME
RIGHT, AND I HOPE THAT THE VAST
MAJORITY OF AMERICANS STAND UP
TO THESE EXTREMES AND SAY WE
DON’T TOLERATE ANTI SEMITISM,
THE HDL SAYS. FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS
, THE NUMBER OF ANTI SEMITIC
ACTS WAS TRENDING DOWNWARD. THEN
IN 2016, THOSE NUMBERS STARTED
TO GO UP TODAY. WE’RE NEARLY
TRIPLE THE NUMBER THAT WE WERE
IN 2015, AND THEY’RE HOPING
EVERYONE CAN WORK COLLECTIVELY
TO REVERSE THAT TREND IN
DETROIT. I’M PRIYA MANN LOCAL 4.
STILL HAD KANYE WEST IS MAKING A
NEW MOVE THAT WOULD GET HIM BACK
ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITHOUT ANY
GATEKEEPING WHATSOEVER. WE’RE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT STORY
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. STILL
HEAD FIRST AND FOUR. IF YOU KNOW
SOMEONE WHO NEEDS A HEARING AID
NOW MIGHT BE THE TIME TO TAKE
THE PLUNGE. A BIG CHANGE JUST
BECAME A REALITY BUT FIRST
DEFENDING HIMSELF IN COURT OSCAR
WINNER KEVIN SPACEY SEEMS TO
FIGHT BACK TEARS. AS HE SHARES
