FROM
NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. WITH THE FROM
NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. WITH THE BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY, THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION NOW INVOKING THE
DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT TONIGHT.
IN A BIG WAY TO TRY TO SPEED UP
THE SUPPLY. WE’RE GLAD YOU’RE
WITH US AT 11 BY USING THE
NATIONAL SECURITY MOBILIZATION
LAW, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS
REQUIRING SUPPLIERS TO
PRIORITIZE GIVING NEEDED
RESOURCES TO FORMULA MAKERS
AHEAD OF ALL OTHERS. MCDONALD IS
LIVE DOWNTOWN TONIGHT. MARA THE
PRESIDENT, ALSO LAUNCHING WHAT
HE’S CALLING OPERATION FLY
FORMULA. THAT’S RIGHT, KIMBERLY.
THAT’S WHEN THE DEFENSE
DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO CONTRACT
WITH COMMERCIAL AIR CARGO
CARRIERS TO GET FOREIGN FORMULA
INTO THE UNITED STATES ASAP.
AFTER WEEKS OF DWINDLING SUPPLY
AND PARENTS UP AGAINST THE WALL
WHEN IT COMES TO FEEDING THEIR
BABIES. IT’S PRETTY SCARY
BECAUSE HE CAN’T EAT REAL FOOD
YET, SO IT’S LIKE, IF WE DON’T
HAVE NO MILK, THEN WE DON’T KNOW
WHAT WE’RE GONNA DO. THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS STEPPING IN THE
DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT GIVES THE
GOVERNMENT BUILDING TO REQUIRE
SUPPLIERS TO DIRECT NEEDED
RESOURCES TO INFANT FORMULA
MANUFACTURERS BEFORE ANY OTHER
CUSTOMER FORMULA. DROUGHT HAS
BEEN ONGOING SINCE FEBRUARY,
WHEN THE FDA FOUND A PROBLEM AT
ABBOTT LABS. STURGIS MICHIGAN
PLANT WHICH DOMINATES THE
FORMULA BUSINESS IN THE US, BUT
NOW THE GOVERNMENT, ALONG WITH
ABBOTT HAVE REACHED A DEAL TO
REOPEN THE PLANT AND RAMP UP
PRODUCTION. STILL IT’S GOING TO
TAKE WEEKS FOR PRODUCT TO HIT
SHELVES. THIS IS A CRISIS FOR US
AND HEALTHCARE, TRYING TO USE
SOME ALTERNATIVES, BUT THE
STANDARD ONES THE ONES YOU WOULD
THINK OF. THERE’S NONE TO BE
HAD, WHICH IS WHY THE GOVERNMENT
HAS NOW APPROVED FLYING IN
FORMULA FROM OTHER COUNTRIES IN
WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS CALLING
OPERATION FLY FORMULA. BEST TO
BE ABLE TO SPEED UP THE IMPORT
OF INFANT FORMULA AND START
GETTING MORE FORMULA IN STORES
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. BACK HERE
ALIVE. DON’T BE EXPECTING TO SEE
THAT IMPORTED FORMULA HIT THE
SHELVES THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK.
YOU SEE FOREIGN MANUFACTURERS,
THEY STILL HAVE TO APPLY TO THE
FDA FOR PERMIT. WE’RE LIVE
DOWNTOWN TONIGHT. I’M MARA
MACDONALD. LOCAL FORWARD CAN’T
HAPPEN SOON ENOUGH. ALRIGHT,
MAURA. THANK YOU. DEVIN STORY WE
FIRST TOLD YOU ABOUT EARLIER
THIS WEEK, A MAN FALLING THROUGH
A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE WHEN THE
CONCRETE GAVE WAY. NOW TONIGHT M
DOT TRYING TO TAKE ACTION TO
MAKE SURE IT DOESN’T HAPPEN
AGAIN. PAMELA OSBORNE LIVE AT
THE SPRUCE STREET BRIDGE THAT
CONNECTS CORK TOWN AND DOWNTOWN
DETROIT WITH WHAT AM DOT IS
TELLING HER PANELING. DE’VEON
BECAUSE OF THAT INCIDENT IN DAD
IS GOING TO BE TAKING A CLOSER
LOOK AT ALL 61 PEDESTRIAN
BRIDGES THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND
ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION. IT’S JUST
A DISASTER. WAY TO HAPPEN. I
HIDES IF YOU KNOW THE STORY, YOU
KNOW, HE’S THE GUY WHO FELL FROM
THE SPRUCE STREET BRIDGE AND
ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE LODGE
LAST MONDAY, INSPECTED IT AT ALL
. IT’S A SUPERFICIAL SPECTRUM,
BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK UNDERNEATH
THE BRIDGE DECADES OF EROSION
EXPOSED REBAR. HE STILL HAS A
LOT OF QUESTIONS, AND SO DO WE.
FOR SOME INSIGHT, WE SPOKE TO
TODD SCOTT, THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE DETROIT
GREENWAYS COALITION. THE
COALITION WORKS TO MAKE THE CITY
A SAFER PLACE TO WALK AND BIKE
SHOCK BECAUSE WE’VE NEVER SEEN
THAT BEFORE WHERE THE BRIDGES
FAILED IN THAT MANNER, HE SAYS
HE NOTIFIED HIM DATA ISSUES WITH
THE SAME BRIDGE LAST FALL. THERE
WAS SOME TRIP HAZARDS ON THE
BRIDGE WHERE THERE ARE BOLTS
EXPOSED AND THERE WAS THERE’S
SOME OLD WOOD ON THE BRIDGE SAYS
IT CAME OUT AND PATCHED A SMALL
HOLE ON THE OTHER END OF THE
SPRUCE STREET BRIDGE, THIS 11 OF
61 PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES THROUGHOUT
THE CITY. WE ASKED FOR MORE
ABOUT THEIR INSPECTION PROCESS.
HERE IS THE ANSWER. WE GOT THE
AGE OF THE STRUCTURE DETERMINES
HOW OFTEN IT GETS INSPECTED.
NEWER BRIDGES MAY GET A GOOD
LOOK OVER EVERY FIVE YEARS, BUT
AT 71 YEARS OLD M DOT TELLS US,
THIS ONE WAS ON A ONCE A YEAR
INSPECTION PLAN AND DUE FOR
ANOTHER ONE AT THE END OF THE
MONTH. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE
YOU KNOW THE BIG BRIDGES THAT
CARRY CARS GET GET A LOT MORE
PRIORITY THAN THE PEDESTRIAN
BRIDGES. AND THE PEDESTRIAN
BRIDGES. THEY DON’T GET
MAINTAINED AS WELL. AND OVER
TIME THEY GET LESS AND LESS SAFE
TO USE AND EVENTUALLY GET
CLOSED. SO HERE’S THE THING.
SCOTT SAYS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
ACTUALLY DO USE THIS PEDESTRIAN
BRIDGE TO GET FROM COURT TOWN TO
DOWNTOWN. HE’S HOPING THAT M DOT
CAN MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS
TO FIX THIS BRIDGE BECAUSE HE
SAID, THE ALTERNATIVES IN THIS
AREA AREN’T VERY GOOD. AS FOR
HIM DOT THERE GOING TO BE OUT
HERE, HOPEFULLY, BY THE END OF
THE WEEK TO TAKE A FULL
INSPECTION AND LOOK AT THIS
BRIDGE, FIGURE OUT WHAT NEEDS TO
BE REPAIRED OR IF IT NEEDS TO BE
REPLACED AGAIN. ONE OF THE
THINGS ARE GOING TO TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN THEY DECIDE
WHAT TO DO WITH THIS BRIDGE IS
JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE USE IT.
STILL NO TIMELINE YET ON WHEN
THOSE REVIEWS OF OTHER BRIDGES
IN THE AREA WILL BE TAKING PLACE
REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT I’M
PAMELA OSBORNE LOCAL FLOOR. WE
WILL STAY ON IT. AND WE STAYED
WET MOST OF THE DAY. NOW THAT
RAIN IS FINALLY MOVING OUT HERE
, LET’S CHECK IN WITH PAUL.
TRACKING SOME BETTER THINGS
AHEAD. PAUL YES, INDEED. AND
STORM TRACKER. FOUR IS NOT VERY
IMPRESSIVE RIGHT NOW COMPARED TO
WHAT WE HAD EARLIER. IF YOU WERE
WATCHING EARLIER, WE HAD THAT
JUST THAT BIG, MASSIVE GREEN.
JUST UNINTERRUPTED WAS JUST
CONTINUOUS RAIN ALL ACROSS THE
AREA. NOW IT’S KIND OF SPLOTCHY
. WE DO HAVE AREAS OF DRIZZLE
AND SOME VERY, VERY LIGHT RAIN
DROPS, BUT NOT LIKE WHAT WE HAD
EARLIER IN THE DAY. HERE’S OUR
BELLE ISLE SKY CAM HERE. THAT’S
THE GRAND PRIX TRACK RIGHT THERE
AND TEMPTS HOLDING STEADY RIGHT
NOW IN THE LOW TO MID FIFTIES AS
EXPECTED, AND THEY’RE NOT REALLY
GOING TO GO DOWN MUCH, IF AT ALL
. TONIGHT THEY MIGHT EVEN COME
UP A LITTLE BIT. THE WIND IS
VERY, VERY LIGHT, AND IT MIGHT
EVEN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF FOG
DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE OF THAT. SO
FIFTIES IN THE MORNING FOR THE
KIDS AT THE BUS STOP SEVENTIES
IN THE AFTERNOON, RIGHT NOW, I’M
THINKING DRY FOR BOTH BUS STOPS,
BUT WE HAVE SOME ANTI DRY
WEATHER COMING IN FOR PARTS OF
THE WEEKEND. WE’LL TALK ABOUT
THAT COMING UP IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES, GUYS. BY PAUL KNEW AT
11. DETROIT POLICE SAID THEY
HAVE NOW FOUND THE TRUCK
INVOLVED IN A DEADLY HIT AND RUN
THAT KILLED A MOTHER OF TWO.
THIS IS VIDEO FROM EARLIER TODAY
OF OFFICERS RECOVERING A RED
FORD F 1 50. FROM HOMELAND WHICH
LAFAYETTE POLICE SAY IT IS THE
TRUCK THAT HIT AND KILLED 32
YEAR OLD IRIS LISA YAGA WHEN SHE
WAS WALKING TO THE STORE MONDAY
AFTERNOON IN SOUTHWEST DETROIT.
SO FAR, NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN
MADE JUST HOURS FROM NOW. THE
DEFENDANT AND THE OXFORD SCHOOL
SHOOTING WILL BE BACK IN COURT.
15 YEAR OLD ETHAN CRUMBLY IS
CHARGED AS AN ADULT WITH THE
MURDER OF FOUR CLASSMATES. RIGHT
NOW, THERE ARE MONTHLY HEARINGS
TO DECIDE WHETHER HE SHOULD BE
MOVED TO A JUVENILE LOCKUP. THE
MOST RECENT WAS LAST MONTH, AND
THE JUDGE THEN DECIDED CRUMBLY
WOULD REMAIN IN THE OAKLAND
COUNTY JAIL COURT, BY THE WAY,
HAS SET A TENTATIVE TRIAL DATE
TO BEGIN SEPTEMBER. 6TH.
MEANWHILE MICHIGAN ATTORNEY
GENERAL DANA NESSEL RESPONDING
TO OXFORD SCHOOL’S DECISION TO
HIRE TWO FIRMS TO CONDUCT AN
INVESTIGATION INTO LAST
NOVEMBER’S DEADLY SHOOTING, AND
NOT HAVE HER OFFICE INVESTIGATE
, AND SHE RELEASED THIS
STATEMENT. IT READS. IN PART, WE
HAVE SEEN THIS TIME AND TIME
AGAIN OUTSIDE FIRMS HIRED BY
SCHOOL BOARDS WILL MAINTAIN
ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE. IF
THE BOARD MEMBERS ARE TRULY
LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY THAT
ELECTED THEM, THEY WILL COMMIT
TO WAIVING ANY AND ALL PRIVILEGE

CRIME ALERT DOWN RIVER TONIGHT
WHERE DOZENS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
TARGETED BY VANDALS. POLICE SAY
ABOUT TWO DOZEN CARS HAD THEIR
TIRES SLASHED OVERNIGHT IN
WYANDOTTE. IT HAPPENED BETWEEN A
KYLIE AND POPULAR STREETS EAST
OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS THERE.
POLICE ARE NOW ASKING ALL
HOMEOWNERS IN THE AREA TO GO
THROUGH THEIR SECURITY CAMERAS
TO SEE IF IT CAUGHT ANY OF THE

CENTER ADAM JULIA IS ELIGIBLE TO
APPEAR ON THE BALLOT, REJECTING
A CHALLENGE BY ARRIVAL CAMPAIGN.
ALLOWING HOT YEAR TO STAY IN THE
CONGRESSIONAL RACE FOR THE WIDE
OPEN SEAT IN THE 13TH DISTRICT.
HOWEVER WAYNE COUNTY
COMMISSIONER TIM COLLEEN DID NOT
FARE AS WELL WITH THE CLERK
RULING. COLLEEN IS NOT ELIGIBLE
BECAUSE OF OUTSTANDING CAMPAIGN
FINANCE ISSUES. A NEW FACE MASK
RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CITY OF
DETROIT IS COVID NUMBERS ARE
STILL TICKING UP IN MICHIGAN
29,267 NEW CASES OVER THE PAST
SEVEN DAYS. THAT’S AN AVERAGE OF
4100 CASES PER DAY. WE’VE LOST
ANOTHER 78 LIVES TO THE VIRUS,
AND NOW THE CITY OF DETROIT IS
RECOMMENDING PEOPLE WEAR MASKS
INDOORS OR IN CROWDED SPACES.
THAT RECOMMENDATION COMES JUST
DAYS AFTER THE CDC PUT WAYNE
COUNTY IN THE HIGH RISK CATEGORY

ON WALL STREET TOMORROW AFTER
THE DOW POSTS ITS BIGGEST LOSS
SINCE 2020 LOSSES ACROSS THE
BOARD AMID CONCERNS OF RISING
INFLATION. BAD NEWS, ESPECIALLY
FOR MAJOR RETAILERS, WITH SHARES
OF TARGET, DROPPING 25% WORST
DAY SINCE THE STOCK MARKET
