Spain winning the World Cup, taking down Argentina one nil

(01:23):
extra time from East Rutherford yesterday. It's the second ever
tournament win for that squad, first coming one back in
twenty ten. Spain fans they were partying in Times Square overnight.
I can tell you I saw them as I was
coming in.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
I had a ranch of emotions, from excitement to tears
that joy.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah, on the losing side, to of course, you had
Lionel Messi who did not have a single shot on
goal throughout the one hundred and twenty minutes of the match,
as the defending champs fell, bringing an end to weeks
of world competition in the US, Canada and Mexico. And
it seemed, unlike other World Cups, that a lot of
Americans were watching.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I am.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Last Yeah, that was somebody in Newark yesterday in the
Ironbound section the Crossroads of the World, home to the
pregame fan events watched all over the globe in the
last magical five weeks. They were all branding yesterday as
well when this one was over thinking.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
About the country like Norway, nobody knew about it before this,
we were rolling in Times Square, sharing in the stadiums.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
They're nowhere like New.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
York City and no, we're like the US. I'm so
happy about the World Cup.

Speaker 7 (02:35):
Going from the nixt Win Woo to the World Cup
has been unreal for the city.

Speaker 8 (02:41):
The atmosphere and like all the passion of having everybody
from across the world discovered the US from on the
other side and another perspective was also amazing. But here,
I think New York City was an amazing playground to
watch the game.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
It really was, and right to roll from the Knicks
into the World Cup. It has really been a fun
time support sports fantasy.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
I think New York, New Jersey didn't a phenomenal job.

Speaker 8 (03:04):
As a resident right by met Life I my minute.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
The way I thought that traffic was going to be
a nightmare. Yeah, but you know Rock.

Speaker 9 (03:11):
Everybody that was helping out, it was not matter.

Speaker 8 (03:15):
Actually, Ken, I'm so happy that the final was in
our backyard.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's a surreal experience.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Remember all the warnings about New Jersey trans it was
going to be a nightmare. The traveling to out in
the meadowlands would be terrible. None of that ended up
being true. President Trump taking a victory lap in the
World Tournament Cup as it, you know, finally wraps up.

Speaker 10 (03:38):
This has been the most successful sporting event, maybe in
the history of the world.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
The President thanking the FIFA president Gianni Infantino for convincing
him to let North America host this year's tournament.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I want to thank Johnny, this guy. He came to
me with this.

Speaker 11 (03:53):
Crazy idea, said are you crazy?

Speaker 4 (03:55):
We're not a socker country. And we turned out we were, Yeah,
we are.

Speaker 12 (04:01):
The twenty twenty six fef A World Cup has broken
almost every record imaginable.

Speaker 6 (04:05):
This is the largest World Cup in history by far,
by many times actually.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
And on the news shows yesterday, the CEO of Bank
of America says significant economic activity generated thanks to the
FIFA World Cup.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Which is of course what we are hoping for.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Brian moynihan says that soccer tournament's had an on the
ground economic impact across cities who hosted the game.

Speaker 7 (04:28):
And that spending is going into what we call bricks
and mortars, going to the bars and restaurants and things
like that. Not necessarily only.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
The people in the stadium may have.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Bank of America Institute found that consumer spending using credit
and debit cards in June increased over six percent from
a year ago.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
That's a lot.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Our team did a research piece, Margaret that said that
the total mount Is economic degenerator on FIFA is about
forty billion twenty billion to B in the US.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Yeah, it's the biggest jump in over four years. WABC
News Time five oh nine. This smoke won't really be
bad today. I mean, you can still see a little
bit of in the air. You saw it over the weekend.
New York summers the summer. We don't want to know
to call win so so you got to enjoy the
sum up.

Speaker 13 (05:09):
We didn't cancel like Shakespeare in the Park and all
the other great activities I know.

Speaker 14 (05:13):
Governor Hoppel said day campers don't take the children outside,
which is.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Hard not to do.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
It was pretty bad at moments over the weekend. Levels
expected to improve. Today will be the best day in
the last four or five days. But it was pretty
bad at times. I usaw a lot of people with
those N ninety five mass on.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
I'm not super worried.

Speaker 14 (05:32):
I feel like this has happened like a couple of
times before, but I'm trying to like limit the amount
of time I'm like outside walking and doing activities.

Speaker 10 (05:39):
I mean, it's bad, you can tell by just seeing it,
but beyond that, I mean, it's it's something we can't
stop at the moment.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
So we're going to have to put up with it
one way or another.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
And yeah, I felt it in my throat on Saturday.
Now the word is we could see it again before
the summer's over.

Speaker 15 (05:53):
We're wearing masks, but also we waited inside a little
later today because the.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Forecast is for it to improve.

Speaker 15 (06:00):
That already looks better to us, but we will keep
these on a.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Little while longer.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
I think those are some tourists in Midtown.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
Over the weekend five ten Let's go overseas US Central
Commands as it launched new strikes targeting Iranian forces responsible
for the deaths of two American service members in Jordan.
News Nation's Jessica Cartalia as the latest development.

Speaker 16 (06:22):
Two US service members confirmed dead, one is still missing,
four were injured. They have since been released from the hospital.
This now brings the reported US military death rolls. Since
the war began in February, sixteen service members killed and
more than four hundred and thirty wounded, many of them
suffering traumatic brain injuries. The deaths in Jordan have now

(06:44):
transformed the US operation from being focused on the straight
of wour moves more into retaliation.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
Yeah, the US responded to the deaths with another night
of strikes against Iran. Iran retaliated by targeting US facilities
in Jordan, Kuwait, and Rain. And then you have the
President over the weekend saying he wants to add Iran
to a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill.

Speaker 14 (07:07):
Measure would impose mandatory sanctions on Russian political and military leaders,
oligarch's state owned enterprises, and foreign companies that support Russia's
defense industrial base. In a true social post Sunday, Trump
called on Republicans to add Iran to the bill, writing
that it's what the late Senator Lindsey Graham wanted to do.
The President's request comes as the US and Iran have

(07:30):
been exchanging strikes. I'm Lisa Carton.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Now.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Over the weekend, the White House put Energy Secretary Chris
Wright on the news shows, and he says the US
mission against Iran going to go on until President Trump's
objective is achieved. He was on ABC's This Week and
Wright says that the President's mission is essential for peace
in the Middle East and peace in the world.

Speaker 9 (07:51):
President is always looking for the diplomatic off ramp. President
Trump wants to end it with a peaceful agreement with Iran,
but it takes two parties.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
To do that.

Speaker 5 (08:01):
Yeah, and the Energy Secretary Chris Right. He was asked
yesterday if the White House plans to retaliate further in
response to the death of those two American service members
in Georgia.

Speaker 9 (08:11):
It's a tragic to lose American lives, but this is
a mission that will save countless lives going forward. His
focus is on degrading the Iranian ability to terrorize the world.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Now a US service member another one died in northern
Iraq during a controlled detonation of an unexploded ordance from
a downed Iranian drone that according to Senkam yesterday and
the latest so we can tell you from overnight, a
vessel is on fire in the Straight Oh Horror Moze
after being hit by a projectile, forcing the crew to
abandon the ship.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
They were later rescued by a tug boat.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
One person has been killed, several others wounded after the
US military attacked the Iranian city of Tabreez that's in
northwestern Iran. That was overnight, and Iran condemning the US
for multiple strikes on an under construction your power plant site.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
So it continues to be a mess in the Middle East.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Five thirteen. Let's go from Iran in the Middle East
to the UK, which it will be a big day there.
Andy Burnham the former mayor of Greater Manchester and the
new leader of the Labor Party. He's taking the final
steps this morning to succeed Kure Starmer and become britain
seventh Prime Minister in a decade. Starmer will travel the

(09:24):
mile he may be doing it as we speak, from
Downing Street to Buckingham powis to formerly tell King Charles
the Third that he is resigning. Then soon after the
fifty six year old Burnham will go to the Palace
and Charles will ask him to former government. This is
when he'll officially become Prime Minister, a moment known in
the UK as kissing hands.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
That'll happen just a little bit later this morning.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
Five point fourteen, while we're oversees one person dead more
than a dozen injured after Russia launched an overnight missile
attack on Ukraine's capital Kiv. Ukraine's military says eighteen missiles shotdown.
Well over one hundred drones were also intercepted, and a
statement on X Ukrainian President Zelenski called it one of

(10:08):
the most massive ballistic attacks on Kiev. He says it's
also important that their partners understand what's happening and that
the air defense missiles are needed to protect lives there.
That war now almost five years old. And one more
story from overseas. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says plans
for President she to visit the US in September are

(10:30):
moving ahead, despite accusations from President Trump last week that
China meddled in the twenty twenty election. Rubio telling reporters
that Joint Bass andrews that both nations are preparing for
this visit in the fall.

Speaker 9 (10:43):
When you have two big, powerful countries like the United
States and China, they're always going to be irritants.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
There are always going to be things we don't agree on.

Speaker 13 (10:50):
But I think it's incumbent on powerful and important countries
like ours to continue to talk and have a relationship.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
We owe it to each other and for our people
into the world.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Now, I will point out that China denied the president
It's allegation, saying it has never interfered in US elections
and has no interest in doing so. Rubio, by the way,
heading to the Philippines for meetings involving the eleven member
Association of the Southeast Asian Nations. In a moment, we'll
tell you about the latest on the let US recall
tied to that explosive diarrhea.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
We'll get into that in just a moment.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
For first five fifteen, let's head over to the seventy
seven WABC Sports Deest.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Happy Monday, Good morning, justin that life.

Speaker 17 (11:28):
Happy Monday, Good morning to you know him oh I
didn't start her, of course, in MetLife Stadium, where fern
Torres clinch spain second Men's World Cup title with an
extra time winner against reigning world champions Argentina in a
final marred by Enzo Fernandez's red card for a reckless
foul on pal Cabarsi. Barcelona forward Torres, a sixty second

(11:52):
minute substitute for Michel Oyarza ball, so you'll they want
to notugh and win for the European champions when you
struck from close range in the one hundred and six
minute his first goal of this year's World Cup, and
by that stage Argentina had been reduced to ten players
at MetLife following the dismissal of Chelsea midfielder Fernandez after

(12:13):
his foul on Cabarsi in the third minute of a
second half stoppage ton Argentina goalkeeper Emilia Martinez finished with
eleven saves, the most in a World Cup final. Spens dominant.
Spain's dominance, i should say, was such that Argentina did
not register their first shot until Lionel Messi had an
attempt blocked in the one hundred and seventeenth minute. It
was just all Spain from start to finish. There know him,

(12:36):
a lady.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yeah, they deserved to win yesterday.

Speaker 17 (12:37):
Yeah, one hundred better team one could have scored four
goals in that game. I'm pretty sure took a couple
back from Spain earlier in the contest. And yeah, Argentina
just spent all their all their time in the defensive zone,
barely could get the ball past midfield and even when
they could it would you know it was back in
their defensive zone within fifteen seconds. So really just sort

(13:00):
of a lopsided final. But congrats goes out to a
Spain another World Cup Championship four. And then let's add
two the MLB and the Bronx chassis and junior head
of tie breaking homer in the eighth inning, and five
Yankees pitchers combined on a four hitter as New York
edge the LA Dodgers two to one to split their
Day night double Hader and salvage at finale of the
three game weekend series after that rain out Saturday night,

(13:20):
the eight Dodgers took the opener eight to two as
Yoshi Nobu Yamamoto assa four hitter, but the Yankees found
successful the bullpen game in Game two is Ryan Yarborough,
Paul Blackburn, and Brent Hedger combined to hold the Dodgers
fureless on three hits through seven innings. Up next for
the Yanks, the lefty Ryan Weather starts tonight at home
against Pittsburgh All Star Brax and Astra Ashcraft in the

(13:41):
opener of a three game series. First pitch from Yankee
Stadium scheduled for seven oh five pm. And in Philadelphia,
Nolan McLean struck out ten and allowed just two hits
and six four less innings. Francisco Lindor Homard and drove
in three runs in The Mets won a series in
Philadelphia for the first time in newly four years, beat
in the Phillies six to one.

Speaker 6 (13:56):
One.

Speaker 17 (13:56):
Soto will be stores and Carson benj also had RBI
for the Mets. Lindora base five times, adding a single
double and a pair of walks to his sixth homer
of this season. The Mets finished to forgettable first half,
the fourth worst record in baseball, before taking two of
three from the Fills. They opened Sunday a sixteen games
behind Atlanta and the NL East, an eleven back Bubby
wildcard spot up next form. Freddy Parralta will start against

(14:19):
the Brewers' Ridy Brandon Sprokee in the opener of three
game steps and I'd first pitched from Milwaukee. He's scheduled
for seven forty pm. That he is a sports no man.
I'm justin Allock on seventy seven w.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
ABC, WABC News Time five to twenty. This week's Past
Week's Hill Country flooding in Texas like last year, hit
when summer camps are full of kids, but local lawmakers
say they were not affected by the torrential rain this time.

Speaker 18 (14:44):
I called one of the camps at sunrise and I said, hey,
how is it looking. This is up in the Hunt
area and they said, honestly, it's barely come out of
the banks.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
You remember last year around July fourth, twenty five kids
were killed, two councilors. This time, the cleanup is underway.
Department of Homeland Security sending FEMA teams to start the
assessment project. Thankfully, none of the camps affected by the
river overflowed, so.

Speaker 18 (15:09):
The camp's upstream, from what we can tell, had very
little little flooding, if any. The differences we saw that
our neighbors were being flooded for about about two days
before this flood, and so that's really kind of the
big difference that has happened here.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
Had all the warning systems they put in place over
the last year apparently worked, which is.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
A good news.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Five to twenty one, the top man at the Health
and Human Services Department been weighing in on this dangerous
outbreak of cyclospora, the ones that's causing severe stomach problems. Now,
the CDC last week, at the end of last week,
they were zeroing in on shredded iceberg lettuce by a
supply or terrell or Farms.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
That's some of the lettuce that served a tackle bell.

Speaker 19 (15:46):
Now that we know the probable call for it, I
think it is going to be much easier for people
to make healthy choices.

Speaker 20 (15:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
So Robert F.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
Kennedy Junior there says the good news is the parasite
is easily treatable with a handful of drugs. And he
says the problem with the parasite is that you can
eat this lettuce and it can be in your system
for up for two weeks until you start to feel
the symptoms.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
That's the problem.

Speaker 19 (16:08):
By the time that people get sick, the produce has
usually gone from the store, and it's hard for FDA
to go and find and determine exactly what the source is.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
Yeah, that's part of the problems just pegging this thing down.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
He is treatable.

Speaker 19 (16:22):
All there four or five different drugs that treated very
very successfully.

Speaker 7 (16:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
So Tailor Forms has expanded a voluntary recall. That's iceberg
lettuce products sourced from Central Mexico because of this potential
link to cyclospora outbreak that is sickened hundreds people across
the country. So products with that potential to be contaminated
with the diarrhea causing parasite were shipped to twenty seven states,
including New Jersey. But apparently they're pulling all that stuff,

(16:50):
all those bags is out off the shelves. Five twenty
two White House borders are Tom Holm and he was
on the news shows yesterday says he thinks body can
are the way to go after recent ice involved shootings.
Homan making the comments on CBS's face the nations.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
You can have a cell.

Speaker 12 (17:08):
Phone camera from a witness on the side, you can
have no city cameras or whatever. But I want the
American people to see where that officer sees when he
makes when he takes makes a decision, takes an action.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
And his comments come after a Colombian man in Maine
and a Mexican man in Texas were both fatally shot
by ICE agents earlier this month, and both cases the
agents were not wearing body cams. Ice agents say the
men use their cars as weapons against them and that's
why they open five.

Speaker 12 (17:35):
If you look at the data body cameras actually xgonery
agents more than they, you know.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Provide evidence of wrongdoing.

Speaker 11 (17:42):
Now.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
When Holman was asked about both of these shootings, he
said that he would let the investigations play out not
comment on them. Five twenty three, Senator Mark Warner says
he's not going to vote for j. Clayton to be
confirmed as Director of National Intelligence. The Virginia Democrat citing
Clayton's confirmation hearing last week is the reason why.

Speaker 13 (18:01):
His inability to answer the question about who won the
twenty twenty election or comment on gabbage the previous DNI's
effort to interfere in the Fulton County elections.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
I am not going to vote for him now.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
During the hearing, Clayton was asked repeatedly who won the
twenty twenty presidential election. He would not say former President
Joe Biden was the winner, rather saying that he was
certified as a winner.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
And God willing.

Speaker 13 (18:27):
I hope the guy that becomes DNI is the guy
that I'd known and liked and work with.

Speaker 5 (18:32):
Now, Warner says he expects Clayton will be confirmed anyway
without his vote. Hyundai recalling over forty seven thousand Kona
SUVs for a defect with the rear center seat belt.

Speaker 21 (18:42):
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall covers
nearly forty eight thousand vehicles, including certain twenty twenty five
hun Daycona Electric and twenty twenty six hun Daikona models.
The automaker said the rear center seat belt buckle may
fail to properly restrain a passenger during a crash. Hyundai
is advising owners not to use the rear center seating

(19:04):
position until it's repaired. Owner notification letters are expected to
be mailed September eleventh, and dealers will replace the rear
center seat buckle assembly free of charge.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
I'm Jim Forbes WABC News Down five twenty five.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
The families of two men who were switched at birth
thirty eight years ago are accusing of North Dakota Hospital
of robbing them of the lives they were supposed to leave.
The discovery was made through DNA testing. Kyle Bien and
Jeremy Morrison were born at the same hospital in January
twenty sixth, nineteen eighty eight. Their lawsuit in state court

(19:40):
says they discovered just two years ago that they went
home with the wrong mom and dad.

Speaker 17 (19:45):
We would love to find out what happened and whom
or what might be accountable for this.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
It is crazy what all this DNA testing has done.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Right.

Speaker 5 (19:54):
The hospital doesn't dispute the babies were switched at some
point Unity Medical centers as it's working to better understand
what happened.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
But of course what can they do now.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
But the medical and staffing records that might have provided
additional clarity to this case, well they.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
Just no longer exist.

Speaker 11 (23:16):
He was intubated on a respirator and was also having
bedside dialysis as well as you know, intervenous antibiotics administered,
and I think they're even moniting his brain weighs now.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Despite valiant efforts by an ICU team for two weeks,
he passed away on Friday, becoming the second person on.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
The Upper Side to die of the disease.

Speaker 5 (23:42):
But now it's three now as of Saturday night, that's
the latest Health Department numbers. We have seventy two people
diagnosed with the Legionnaire's disease, nine hospitalized in association with
that Upper east Side cluster. So far, they've ordered a
total of seventy six buildings to clean their cooling towers
as they work to contain this ongoing outbreak. Now, I

(24:02):
should point out Legionnaire's disease is treatable, but ten percent
of people will die due to complications from the illness.
That's according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Of course, we had that terrible outbreak last year up
in Harlem where seven died one hundred were sick during
outbreak in that Harlem neighborhood.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Five point forty one.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Those were some intense rainstorms on Saturday yesterday.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
A lot of your neighbors.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
Spent the day cleaning up from some really serious flooding.
In some places that we don't always see it. Events
were canceled businesses in some areas we had to close down.
The smell of sewage was lingering in Soho yesterday. At
the corner of Grand Street in West Broadway. The street
flooded there Saturday, and there was a whole bunch of

(24:47):
people inside a restaurant at that corner there, and that's
when the flooding started to happen. And when it was
time for them to leave the restaurant, the water was
so high that the owners of the restaurant gave the
people who had had this good meal plastic bags to
put over their legs and clothing because it was like
waste high water. And then they had to walk out

(25:08):
to get to their cars. Of the subway or wherever
they were getting home.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Within like thirty minutes, like the whole street started to flood.
The dreams clogged.

Speaker 6 (25:16):
We had to sleep out on all of the water
so it wouldn't I just saw them like, I have
garvers facts.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Do you guys just.

Speaker 7 (25:23):
Want to put it over your pants whatever?

Speaker 2 (25:26):
And a lot of people don't.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yeah, I guess they have an adventure to talk about
city Field. On Saturday night, Noah Khan, there was a
concert by him, but it was canceled, but it was
at the last second, so people had showed up and
pretty disappointed to be turned away because of these storms.

Speaker 23 (25:41):
They're like groups of like young girls dressed up in
shirts wearing the merch sobbing who just felt so bad
for like the young kids who traveled there or said
it was their first concert experience, and we were like,
I hope you never have a concert experience like this again.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Yeah, that's a bummer.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
And Flushing Queens, one neighborhood that gets lighted a lot
flooded again on Saturday, and they're begging the city to
help do something so that didn't get flitted out every.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Time it rained.

Speaker 24 (26:07):
This has become an a routine when it's rained. We
knew that there's going to be flooding. First we had
to move the vehicles. Now we're going downstairs moving our
stuff and storage. Food is spoiled, close to spoil appliances.
It's like we had to restart our lives every single
time of rain comes, which is terrible.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Anyone should have that.

Speaker 20 (26:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
The Office of the Emergency Management responding to these neighbors,
saying that the neighborhood's just challenging. They say the topography
of the area makes it difficult to combat the big
time floods from coming in. So people were cleaning out
their basements yesterday five point forty four up to the Bronx.
You may have seen the story over the weekend. A
one year old fell from a fifth floor window in

(26:46):
the Bronx on Friday night and he survived.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
The fall, which is incredible.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
So this toddler tumbled from a window from five ninety
three Oak Terrace. This was about six forty at night
on Friday. He landed face down in the back of
the sixth story apartment building. The baby was alert and
conscious when first responders arrived. It was somebody watching this
all play out.

Speaker 25 (27:09):
The fire department.

Speaker 13 (27:10):
Everyone took me to get to the back.

Speaker 23 (27:14):
Offers went into.

Speaker 24 (27:15):
The building and jumped down, so giving everyone else accents.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
Now, this may have been a case that the parents
not paying attention because one person of interest is in custody.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
That's what police tell us.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
They would't tell us who he was, but the Post
New York Post they captured a photo of a man
in handcuffs being hauled away from the scene. Several other
young children were also seen being escorted into a police cruiser.
That was on Friday night. Now, again, the good news
is this kid's going to survive five story fall.

Speaker 24 (27:44):
They brought him out on a straight stretcher, face down,
but didn't seem like two responsive.

Speaker 5 (27:52):
Yeah, so first respondents tended to that top. They brought
him to the hospital. But again they say he's going
to be okay, thank god. In a moment, well here
from Mayor Mom dott Is. Over the weekend, he doubled
down on arresting Israeli Prime Minister bb Netanya, who we'll
get into that story in just a moment. First, five
point forty five, let's head over to the seventy seven

It was all Spain from start to finish. Really in

Speaker 5 (29:24):
I'm kind of sorry it's over. I actually thought this
was a really fun World Cup to watch.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
I agree.

Speaker 17 (29:29):
I think a lot of people are feeling a little
sentimental and just a little sad. It's been a long
journey and you know, as of just a few weeks ago,
we were watching these group stage games and it felt,
you know, like you had these tiny, small countries still
in this in this tournament, a lot of very exciting
nationalism jumping around New York City from all these different nations,

(29:51):
and it was cool to watch there for a few
weeks and sad to see it go.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Can't we narrow it down to like every two years
instead of every four year? Seems like a lot time
to wait.

Speaker 17 (30:00):
Yeah, well in two years, you've got the Women's World Cup,
so and that we might actually win.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
That probably will win exactly.

Speaker 17 (30:08):
So you know, and we get behind our women here
obviously when it comes to soccer. At least they're better
than the men. So they go out and they actually
have a chance to win this thing. In a couple
of years, it'll be fun all over again. We shall
see on the diamond though, still got baseball going on
for the time being.

Speaker 23 (30:22):
That is.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Six WABC News Time five point fifty. Mayor Mom Donnie
over the weekend says in his administration is still discussing
whether to arrest Israeli Prime Minister bib Ntayao, who when
he comes to New York City as he's expected to
do for the UN General Assembly in September. He spoke
to Lulu Garcia Navarros, I think one of the better

(31:33):
reporters at the New York Times, during her interview show.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Here is what he had to say.

Speaker 14 (31:37):
I believe that my mister Nao belongs in the Hague.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
He's a war criminal who has been charged by the
International Criminal Court. And what you will find is that
as an opinion that is held by many purely because
of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
I've also said.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
That I will follow the laws that we have here
in New York City because I believe that there's an
importance in following the law as a leader who presides
over our city, and that's something that I plan to do.

Speaker 15 (32:08):
Meaning I'm sorry, I don't understand what that means, meaning.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
That whatever the law allows me to do in New
York City, that's.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
What we will do.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
But we won't be writing our own laws.

Speaker 19 (32:15):
To that end.

Speaker 15 (32:16):
What does the law allow you to do?

Speaker 6 (32:18):
That's an active conversation with our legal department in seeing
what the prospects are we have here in our municipality. However,
what we've seen at the national level as a desire
sometimes to write your own laws, to go outside of
the bounds of legality, that's not something we have an
interest in.

Speaker 15 (32:33):
I mean, normally, when people come to you and General Assembly,
they're granted a sort of amnesty because it is the
seat of the United Nations. Is that what you're thinking
that you'll honor or you're actively looking to see if
you can actually arrest him.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
I think we are looking at all of our legal obligations,
and one of them is with regards to the United nations.
But the other part of this is we're not talking
about a personal assessment of Benjamin and yeah, we're talking
about the international crew and a court and the fact
that they have a warrant out for this Prime minister's arrest.
And I think it's it's important to talk about the
weight that that has as a charge and also that

(33:11):
as the Mayor of New York City, I'll be following
the laws of New York City.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Yeah, so he's not backing off.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
And there's no doubt that Lulu Garcia Navarro asked the
mayor about this going after B. B Natanya who and
arresting him because just a couple of days earlier, BB
Netta Yah who was on sitting Friends in the morning
and said, asked him about it. And here's what Netanyahu
had to say about the threat of being arrested when
he comes to New York.

Speaker 26 (33:35):
Mister Prime Minister, I know that you know you come
to the United States often, and I'm in New York
City and I hate mom Donnie, I'm going to use
that word. You don't have to, mister Prime Minister. I will.
I hate his guts and he has he has threatened
to arrest you time and time again, which we know
he really can't do, but he seems putty step fast
on arresting you when you get here. I know you're

(33:56):
gonna come speak at the UN in September, and you
have a trip to into DC. But are you nervous
that he may try that when you get here in September?

Speaker 20 (34:07):
No, I'm not. I think he should. He should look
at who he's condemning, who's praising he's condemning. Israel, the
one democracy that stands soldier to soldier with American values,
fights our soldiers, fight soldier to shoulder with the America's
value soldiers. But you know who does a champion Hamas

(34:27):
that cause openly to massacre every Jew on earth, that
conducted that horrible massacre, the most massacres on Jews since
the Holocaust, The basically apologizes and excuses for Yan the
greatest terror regime on earth, that opened the cause for
the murder of President Trump and other senior officials and soam.

(34:50):
So he is with the terror actors. And I think
the problem is, you know that he doesn't recognize or
he doesn't care that those who haste the Jews and
Israel ultimately hate America and in fact, I think secretly
he takes America.

Speaker 5 (35:06):
Yeah, so that was the Prime Minister talking to Sid's
last week. And then maybe all these stories are connected.
I'm not saying they are, but it is interesting that
there's been a fair amount of anti Semitic attacks in
the city since Mayor Mamdani has taken over, and you
had one at the end of last week. Three synagogues
were hit. Some sort of bigot hurled motor oil and

(35:26):
feces at three different synagogues in Queens to end last week,
and so yesterday you had the members of these three
synagogues getting together to say, how can.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
We protect ourselves?

Speaker 5 (35:37):
So one of them was Young Israel of Hollis Wood
and they have grainy surveillance that shows this guy running
and hurling this mixture at Young Israel around eleven forty
five at night. Then they hit two more synagogues. So
at Holliswood they met over the weekend they said, okay,
you know what do we do next? We got to
clean up, but how do we defend Our.

Speaker 25 (35:58):
City is hurting and this is going to metastasize. See
if we don't stand up. The NYPD has been fantastic.
The one oh seven has always been fantastic to us.
They actually contacted us before we even contacted them.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
Yeah, so it's not the first time one of the
synagogues has been hit by a similar attack. The other
one was the Young Israel of joe makea estates.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
We want to create crowd and resilient Jews quld in
fight Jewish hatred, anti Semitism.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
We're gonna stand.

Speaker 6 (36:27):
With the people of Israel and we're going to amplify
Jewish joy.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
So it was about a month ago at Young Israel
of Jamaica states that a bag of excrement was found
in a newspaper box. And so here we go similar
attacks synagogues, just trying to figure out how sort this.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
All our humanity has dignity.

Speaker 10 (36:47):
Every single person was created in the image of God,
Jews and Muslims and Christians and Hindus and Buddhists and
all people of all faith traditions of no figure.

Speaker 5 (36:58):
Addition, Rabbi one of the synagogue to us, hope that
all this stuff will stop happening and we'll end on
a happier note. Madonna justin Bieber bts Shakira. They were
all part of the halftime show yesterday at the World
Cup and so was So this was pretty cool. You
saw those kids who took to the stadium floor at
the end of that concert. They were from the PS

(37:21):
twenty two chorus on Staten Island and they were the
ones that were backed by Chris Martin's kind of fun
to see them out there. Greg Brinberg is the Courus director.

Speaker 10 (37:31):
This is like the capping stone we thought the Academy Awards.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
It just can't get any bigger.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
So the course has played some really big gigs over
the last couple of years, but for sure playing before
a billion people around the world doesn't get a lot bigger.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
This is definitely next level stuff.

Speaker 7 (37:46):
This is a worldwide stage and I'm so proud of
my kids.

Speaker 20 (37:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
So the eleven minute halftime performance was curated by Coldplay
front man Chris Martin, and that was part of the
reason that PS twenty two was brought in. I guess
he knew about them. Then you had the Muppets back
there at the end of the show, you had Shakira
come back out.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
The kids in course completely jazzed to be on that
stage at the meadow Land. I wonder I was going
to be.

Speaker 24 (38:10):
I genuinely thought he was just joking, because Chris, he's
a very joker, very very very joker.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
But it was real in the end. So they are
fourth and fifth graders. And by the way, we didn't
get to really hear them so much yesterday. You could
hear them singing at the end, but this is a
little bit what they sounded like in a concert just
a couple of days ago.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Yeah, amazing.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
PS.

Speaker 5 (38:42):
Twenty two Course of Grantedville, no doubt bringing a lot
of pride to Staten Island yesterday
