BRAKES ON AUTO SALES. NEW
DEVELOPMENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
WHITE CRITICS ARE NOT ON BOARD
AND HERE’S ANDREW. AND KAREN,
ANOTHER DAY FILLED WITH SUNSHINE
, WARMTH AND COMFORTABLE
CONDITIONS. BUT AFTER THIS
SPLENDID WEATHER, AM TRACKING
SOME SHOWERS IN YOUR SEVEN DAY
FORECAST THAT’S COMING RIGHT UP
FIRST STEP FOUR. LOCAL 4 NEWS
STARTS NOW WITH BREAKING NEWS
ALERT. GOOD AFTERNOON. I’M KAREN
. TRUE LOCAL 4 HAS JUST
CONFIRMED. A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS
ORDERED THE SEIZURE OF MONEY
FROM FORMER DETROIT MAYOR KWAME
KILPATRICK AND HIS WIFE. THE
COUPLE WAS DOING SOME VIRTUAL
CROWDFUNDING, BUT THE FORMER
MAYOR STILL HAS AN OUTSTANDING
DEBT TO THE CITY. COURT RECORDS
SHOW. SEPARATE NOTICES OF
GARNISHMENT WERE ISSUED EARLIER
THIS MONTH DEMANDING THE PAYMENT
OF MORE THAN $193,000 FROM THEIR
PAYPAL AND PLUM FUND ACCOUNTS.
THE COUPLE WAS RAISING MONEY TO
BUY A HOME IN FLORIDA. WE’RE
GOING THROUGH THE PAPERWORK
RIGHT NOW. WE WILL HAVE AN
EXPANDED REPORT ON LOCAL 4 NEWS
AT FIVE. THE MAN ACCUSED OF
PROVIDING THE GUN THAT KILLED
THIS DETROIT POLICE OFFICER WAS
JUST IN A FEDERAL COURTROOM.
PROSECUTORS SAY 26 YEAR OLD
SHELDON THOMAS WAS CAUGHT ON
SURVEILLANCE VIDEO BUYING THE
GUN IN EAST POINT, YOU SAY, SOLD
THE GUN TO IMANI DAVIS, WHO THEN
SHOT OFFICER LAUREN COURTS
BEFORE HE WAS KILLED BY ANOTHER
OFFICER IN COURT TODAY. THOMAS
REQUESTED BONDS SO HE COULD BE
RELEASED PENDING TRIAL. THE
JUDGE DENIED THAT REQUEST AFTER
PROSECUTORS READ TEXT MESSAGES,
THEY SAY SHOW THOMAS WORKED MORE
THAN A YEAR TO BUY THE GUN FOR
DAVIS TONIGHT AT FIVE MORE FROM
INSIDE THE COURT AS WE BREAK
DOWN THOSE TEXT MESSAGES WHEN
YOU JOIN US FOR A LIVE REPORT.
GENERAL MOTORS, HOPING FOR THE
BEST BUT PREPARING FOR THE WST
AFTER ITS SECOND QUARTER NET
INCOME FELL 40% FROM A YEAR AGO
. AUTOMAKER EARNED MORE THAN
$1.6 BILLION FROM APRIL TO JUNE
, DOWN FROM NEARLY THREE BILLION
LAST YEAR. ONE BIG PROBLEM JIM
COULDN’T DELIVER 95,000 VEHICLES
DURING BECAUSE OF PARTS
SHORTAGES. GM IS STILL HOPEFUL
ITS FULL YEAR NET INCOME WILL
REMAIN STEADY. BETWEEN 9.6 AND
11.2 BILLION. CEO MARY BARRA
SAYS IT IS TAKING STEPS TO
MANAGE COSTS LIKE REDUCING
DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AND
LIMITING HIRING TWO CRITICAL
POSITIONS SUPPORTING GROWTH.
PLUS THE COMPANY HAS MODELED
OTHER DOWNTURN SCENARIOS AND IS
READY TO TAKE MORE ACTION IF
NECESSARY. CONGRESS IS TRYING TO
GET SOMETHING DONE TO EASE THAT
COMPUTER CHIP SHORTAGE AND
THAT’S HIT ALL THE AUTOMAKERS.
TODAY THE SENATE VOTED TO
ADVANCE A BILL WRITTEN TO BOOST
THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY IN
THE UNITED STATES. OF COURSE,
IT’S JUST ONE STEP IN THE
PROCESS. KIMBERLY GAIL JOINS US
AND KIM MICHIGAN SENATORS ARE
BIG BACKERS OF THIS LEGISLATION.
THEY ARE KAREN. GOOD AFTERNOON
TO YOU WILL HEAR FROM SENATOR
DEBBIE STABENOW IN JUST A MOMENT
, BUT THE SO CALLED CHIPS FOR
AMERICA BILL NEEDED 60 VOTES
KEEP MOVING FORWARD IN THE
SENATE, AND THE FINAL TALLY WAS
PRETTY CLOSE. THE LEGISLATION IS
WORTH A TOTAL OF $280 BILLION
EARMARKS ABOUT 52 BILLION IN
GRANTS AND OTHER INCENTIVES FOR
THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY. PLUS
25% TAX CREDIT FOR COMPANIES
THAT BUILD CHIMP PLANTS IN THE
UNITED STATES WILL ALSO
AUTHORIZES 200 BILLION TO
ENHANCE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OVER
THE NEXT 10 YEARS. CRITICS HAVE
OBJECTED TO THE SPENDING,
CALLING IT EITHER EXCESSIVE OR
MISPLACED. THE FINAL TALLY IN
THE SENATE WAS 64 TO 32 IN FAVOR
, ATTRACTING BIPARTISAN SUPPORT
. SENATOR STABENOW TELLS LOCAL 4
THE BILL HAS MULTIPLE BENEFITS
ABOUT BRINGING DOWN COSTS FOR
CONSUMERS BECAUSE ONE OF THE
BIGGEST COST INCREASES HAS BEEN
AND IN AUTO AUTOMOBILES, WHERE
THERE’S NEW OR USED BECAUSE OF
THE CHIP SHORTAGE, SO WE’RE
GOING TO BRING DOWN COSTS. WE’RE
GONNA BRING JOBS HOME. AND WE’RE
GOING TO STRENGTHEN OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY. SENATE SHOULD GIVE THE
BILL FINAL APPROVAL LATER THIS
WEEK. THEN IT HEADS TO THE
HOUSE. YESTERDAY THE PRESIDENT
HELD A VIRTUAL MEETING TO PUSH
THE BILL AND ENCOURAGE CONGRESS
TO GET IT PASSED. KAREN WILL
KEEP YOU POSTED ON ITS PROGRESS
AND ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS ARE NOW
WE’LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU.
ALRIGHT, WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK
YOU, KIM. MANY OF YOU JUST MIGHT
BE DRIVEN BIG LOTTERY DREAMS AS
WE ARE HOURS AWAY FROM ANOTHER
MEGA MEGA MILLIONS DRY. THE
JACKPOT HAS CLIMBED TO $830
MILLION. THAT’S A $20 MILLION
JUMP SINCE JUST THIS MORNING.
NOW THE CASH OPTION IS UP TO 488
MILLION BEFORE TAXES. TODAY’S
DRAWING WILL TAKE PLACE AT 11 PM
WE’LL BRING IT TO YOU LIVE ON
LOCAL 4 SO YOU CAN CHECK YOUR
NUMBERS RIGHT AWAY TO SEE IF
THOSE LOTTERY DREAMS COME TRUE.
BUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT PERFECT
SUMMER DAY IN MICHIGAN, YOU
MIGHT THINK ABOUT WHAT WE’RE
SEEING OUTSIDE TODAY. THIS IS A
QUICK LOOK FROM OUR CAMERA OVER
IN MOUNT CLEMENS. DEFINITELY A
GORGEOUS AFTERNOON THERE RIGHT
NOW, LET’S GET OVER TO ANDREW
HUMPHREY TO TAKE OUR FIRST LOOK
AT THE FORECAST, ANDREW.
ABSOLUTELY PICTURE PERFECT.
YOU’RE RIGHT, KAREN WITH
TEMPERATURES THAT ARE ON THE
WARM SIDE. ONCE AGAIN, THE
HUMIDITY IS LOW, SO IT IS NICE
AND COMFY OUT THERE, TOO.
LOOKING AT UPPER SEVENTIES AND
LOW EIGHTIES 81 OVER AT CITY
AIRPORT. SAME THING AT METRO
HELLO. HOW YOU’VE GOT 81 AT THIS
HOUR AND 77 WARM DEGREES OVER
IMPORT HURON, LOOKING GOOD AS WE
LOOK AT DOWNTOWN DETROIT UNDER
PARTLY SUNNY SKIES, VISIBILITY
IS LOOKING GOOD WINDS OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST, KEEPING US WARM AND
DO POINTS STILL IN THE COMFORT
ZONE, MOSTLY IN THE LOW FIFTIES,
AND THIS EVENING, IT CONTINUES
TO BE PLEASANT, WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE AND
UPPER SEVENTIES THROUGH THIS
EVENING, THEN LOW SEVENTIES
RIGHT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE LATER
ON TONIGHT, JUST BEFORE
MIDNIGHT. NOW THINGS ARE
CHANGING IN YOUR SEVEN DAY
FORECAST, INCLUDING SOME MUCH
NEEDED RAIN MORE ON THAT AND THE
REST OF YOUR FORECAST IN
MINUTES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU,
ANDREW. SO IS RUSSIA GOING TO
ALLOW UKRAINE TO SHIP TONS OF
GRAIN TO THE REST OF THE WORLD?
THAT IS A BIG QUESTION AFTER NEW
ATTACKS ON CRITICAL PORTS
INFRASTRUCTURE RUSSIA IS
TARGETING THE BLACK SEA REGIONS
WITH NEW AIRSTRIKES. JUST LAST
WEEK, THE COUNTRY SIGNED
SEPARATE AGREEMENTS TO MAKE IT
EASIER TO EXPORT GRAIN, BUT
THERE ARE ALSO CONCERNS ABOUT
LANDMINES LEFT IN THE BLACK SEA.
RUSSIA INSISTS IT’S READY TO
HOLD PEACE TALKS BUT CLAIMS
WESTERN ALLIES OPPOSE THE DEAL.
NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BEEN STALLED
SINCE MARCH. AND HIS RUSSIAN
MISSILES FALLING MICHIGANNATIVE
IS RACING AGAINST TIME TO SAVE
PRICELESS PIECES OF UKRAINIAN
CULTURE. IT’S CALLED RED LISTING
, ASSEMBLING ITEMS IN MUSEUMS
AND CHURCHES THAT NEED TO BE
PRESERVED POLITICS IN HAM
TRAFFIC WITH THE STORY OF
DESPERATE MISSION THAT REACHES
FROM HERE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE GLOBE, PAULA SO UKRAINIAN
CHURCHES AND MUSEUMS WERE NOT
READY. THEY WEREN’T PREPARED FOR
THE RUSSIAN INVASION. AND SO
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT, FOR
INSTANCE, THE UKRAINIAN FOLK
ARTISTS WHO WAS AN INSPIRATION
TO PICASSO THAT ARTIFACT GONE
VILLAGE CHURCH THAT IS THE SEAT
OF CHRISTIANITY FOR THAT NATION
GONE, BUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, YOU CAN
IMAGINE WHY THE RACE IS ON. TO
SAVE THESE ARTIFACTS, OR AT
LEAST THE REMAINING ONES. I
DIDN’T SEE IT. THAT’S IT. YOU’RE
LOOKING AT A FAMILY TREASURE.
THIS IS 97 YEAR OLD NICOLA
EXCUSE KEY IN THE YEAR 2007
RETURNING FROM MICHIGAN TO
UKRAINE TO VISIT HIS FATHER’S
CHURCH. ARCHANGEL MICHAEL
FOUNDED IN 14 OH, THREE IN
VENEZIA. BUT BECAUSE RUSSIAN
BOMBS AND UKRAINE RESPECT
NOTHING AND NO ONE THIS VIDEO
NOW BECOMES MORE THAN A FAMILY
ARCHIVES. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT
THEY’RE HITTING BECAUSE THEY’RE
NOT HITTING MILITARY TARGETS PER
SE. THEY’RE HITTING CULTURAL
TARGETS. THEY’RE HITTING.
CIVILIANS IT BECOMES AN
IMPORTANT ARCHIVE OF NATIONAL
IMPORTANCE TO UKRAINIANS WHO ARE
WATCHING THEIR CULTURE
ERADICATED. THOSE CHURCHES ARE
SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THEY BELONG
TO THE EASTERN UH, RIGHT ASPECT
OF CHRISTIANITY. UKRAINE HAS THE
LARGEST COLLECTION OF WOODEN
CHURCHES IN THE WORLD. ANY ONE
OF THOSE LITTLE WOODEN CHURCHES
THAT EXISTED IN SMALL VILLAGES,
TOWNS, SMALL CITIES IS AT RISK.
THIS IS A WOODEN BUILDING, AND
THEY ARE NOT DOCUMENTED, SO THE
PROJECT IS TO SCAN DIGITALLY
SCAN THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR
OF THOSE CHURCHES. TEAMS OF
CURATORS ARE WORKING INSIDE
UKRAINE AS WELL AS VARIOUS
OUTSIDE NATIONS TO SAVE
ARTIFACTS AND CREATE DIGITAL
PROOF OF THEIR EXISTENCE. SO
THAT YOU CRANE. IAN’S CAN AT
LEAST SOMEDAY LOOK BACK AND SEE.
WHAT USED TO BE THERE. YOU’RE
EGAN, TITIAN OF FULBRIGHT
SPECIALIST WITH THE AMERICAN
INSTITUTE FOR CONSERVATION FROM
HAMTRAMCK IS HEADING ONE OF
THOSE MISSIONS, AND THAT MEANT
PACKING UP THE WORKS OF ART.
TRANSFERRING THEM TO VERY SAFE
LOCATIONS. IT ALSO MEANT TO
PROTECT LARGE EXISTING
MONUMENTS. SO WHAT WE’RE SEEING
ARE PEOPLE INSIDE THOSE BATTLE
LINES INSIDE UKRAINE, RISKING
THEIR OWN LIVES TO SAVE SOME OF
THESE ARTIFACTS, AND THEY’RE
BEING DIRECTED BY PEOPLE LIKE
YOU’RE OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY TO
TRY TO HELP THEM GET MATERIALS,
BUT ALSO FIND WAYS AND LOOK FOR
WAYS TO PROTECT OR AT LEAST
DIGITIZED. GET DIGITAL EVIDENCE
THAT THOSE THINGS WERE ONCE
THERE. KAREN ALL RIGHT. THANK
