DO.
REPORTER: ALTHOUGH BOLA AHMED
TINUBU IS CREDITED WITH --
IT WAS PETER OF THE LABOR PARTY
WHO GOT THE MOST AMOUNT OF VOTES
HERE.
DETRACTORS SAY THAT IS BECAUSE
THERE WAS WIDESPREAD CORRUPTION
DURING HIS TIME IN POWER.
AN ACCOUNTANT AND FORMER
PRO-DEMOCRACY ACTIVIST, MR.
TINUBU WAS FORCED INTO EXILE IN
THE 1990’S.
HE RETURNED AS DEMOCRACY DAWNED.
NICKNAMED THE GODFATHER OF
LEGOS, EVERYONE WHO HAS
SUCCEEDED HIM HAS BEEN ONE OF
HIS PUT ASSAYS -- ONE OF HIS
PROTEGES.
BUT THERE ARE CONCERNS OF HIS
HEALTH.
SPECULATION SURROUNDING HIS
HEALTH WAS SO INTENSE, HE FILED
A PROOF OF LIFE VIDEO ON SOCIAL
MEDIA.
THERE’S FRUSTRATION.
>> THIS IS NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED.
AFTER ALL OUR EFFORTS.
THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF RESULT
WE ALL EXPECTED.
REPORTER: MR. TINUBU HAS AN
UPHILL BATTLE TO UNITE THE
COUNTRY AND RESCUE ITS DECLINING
ECONOMY.
HE ALSO HAS TO RESTORE SECURITY
TO LARGE SWATHS OF THE NATION,
WHICH ARE UNDER THE CONTROL OF
VILLA TENTS AND GANGS.
-- OF MILITANTS AND GANGS.
JAMES: FASCINATING FOOTAGE
THERE.
THE GOVERNMENT INSISTS THE
ELECTION WAS FAIR.
THE OPPOSITION SAYS IT WAS NOT.
WHAT IS THE BEST ASSESSMENT OF
OBSERVERS?
REPORTER: I SPOKE TO THE HEAD OF
THE EUROPEAN UNION’S OBSERVER
MISSION TO THESE ELECTIONS IN
NIGERIA AND THEY SAY ALTHOUGH
THE ELECTIONS TOOK PLACE IN A
PEACEFUL WAY AND THEY
CONGRATULATED THE COMMISSION IN
NIGERIA FOR NOT RESCHEDULING THE
ELECTION, THEY DID HIGHLIGHT
THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME
ISSUES.
NAMELY POLLS OPEN LATE, LOTS
OF PEOPLE HAVING TO LEAVE
BECAUSE THE POLLS OPENED SO
LATE, THEY COULD NOT STAY IN
LINE LONG ENOUGH TO VOTE.
THEY ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH AN
ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY USED FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN THESE POLLS.
IT WAS MEANT TO ENCOURAGE
TRANSPARENCY IN THE WHOLE
PROCESS -- EACH POLLING STATION
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE UPLOADED ONTO
A WEBSITE AND BE PUBLICLY
AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.
THAT DID NOT QUITE WORK.
24 HOURS LATER IS WHEN THE FIRST
RESULTS STARTED TRICKLING IN.
JAMES: HOW HAVE NIGERIANS BEEN
REACTING TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF
THE WINNER?
REPORTER: IT IS FAIR TO SAY
REACTION HAS BEEN MIXED.
MR. TINUBU’S SUPPORTERS POINT TO
THE FACT HE DID WELL AS GOVERNOR
OF LAGOS, IMPROVED ITS
NOTORIOUSLY TERRIBLE TRAFFIC.
YOU CAN USE HIS SKILLS AS A
BUSINESSMAN, HE IS WHEN I’M
NIGERIA’S WEALTHIEST
POLITICIANS.
BUT HIS DETRACTORS SAY A LOT OF
HIS ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR
WERE SUBSEQUENTLY UNDONE.
THE PROJECTS HE IMPLEMENTED WERE
NOT COMPLETED OR MAINTAINED.
THEY ALSO ACCUSE HIM OF
CORRUPTION.
THIS IS SOMETHING MR. TINUBU HAS
DENIED, BUT IT HAS MADE HIM A
VERY CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE HERE.
JAMES: CONTINUITY THEN FOR THE
COUNTRY?
REPORTER: THAT IS WHAT HE IS
PROMISING BUT HE IS ALSO
PROMISING RENEWED HOPE.
HE SAYS HE KNOWS NIGERIANS HAVE
BEEN THROUGH A TOUGH TIME FOR
THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.
SEEING THE ECONOMY DECLINE,
INSECURITY RISE.
HE SAYS HE WANTS TO TURN THINGS
AROUND AND IMPROVE THE ECONOMY.
JAMES: MIGHTY JONES
INEXHAUSTIBLE WORKING THROUGHOUT
THE ELECTION.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
TO THE MIDDLE EAST NOW, WHERE
CLASHES BROKE OUT BETWEEN THE
POLICE AND PEOPLE PROTESTING
AGAINST CONTENTIOUS JUDICIAL
REFORMS IN ISRAEL.
PROTESTERS BLOCKED ROADS AND
RAILWAYS IN WHAT THEY CALLED A
DAY OF DISRUPTION.
THEY BELIEVE SWEEPING CHANGES
BEING PUSHED THROUGH PARLIAMENT
WILL UNDERMINE JUDICIAL
DEPENDENCE AND EVEN THREATENED
THE COUNTRY’S DEMOCRACY.
THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT THOUGH
SAYS CHANGES WILL RESTORE
BALANCE BETWEEN THE BRANCHES OF
GOVERNMENT.
REPORTER: WITH STUN GRENADES AND
HORSES, ISRAELI POLICE TRY TO
DRIVE PROTESTERS BACK.
BUT HERE, THEY BREAK THROUGH THE
BARRICADES.
ON THE COUNTRY’S BUSIEST
MOTORWAY BETWEEN TEL AVIV AND
JERUSALEM, TRAFFIC CAME GRINDING
TO A HALT.
DEMONSTRATORS BELIEVE SWEEPING
JUDICIAL CHANGES WILL UNDERMINE
THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE COURTS
AND THREATENED DEMOCRACY.
THEY WILL ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT
TO OVERTURN SUPREME COURT
RULINGS.
BUT THE PRIME MINISTER AND HIS
NEW HARD-LINE GOVERNMENT CALLED
THE PROTESTERS ANARCHISTS.
>> FREEDOM OF PROTEST IS NOT A
LICENSE TO REDUCE THE COUNTRY TO
ANARCHY AND CHAOS.
THE SOVEREIGN STATE CANNOT
TOLERATE ANARCHY.
REPORTER: TODAY AMID ROWDY
SCENES, A PARLIAMENTARY
COMMITTEE PUSHED LEGISLATION
THROUGH AN INITIAL VOTE.
SUPPORTERS ARGUE THAT PLANS
RESTORE BALANCE BETWEEN THE
BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT.
OUTSIDE, ANOTHER CROWD BEGAN TO
GATHER.
AFTER WEEKS OF PROTESTING AND A
SENSE OF FRUSTRATION FROM PEOPLE
HERE, THEIR VOICES ARE NOT
BEING HEARD.
THEY FEEL THERE IS SO MUCH AT
STAKE.
THIS ISSUE IS EXPOSING THE DEEP
DIVISIONS IN THE COUNTRY,
COMPETING VISIONS FOR ISRAEL.
AND SOME UNEXPECTED VOICES ARE
SPEAKING OUT.
VETERANS OF AN ELITE MILITARY
INTELLIGENCE UNIT ARE AMONG
THOSE NOW THREATENING TO REFUSE
PERFORMING THEIR SERVICE IN
PROTEST.
>> WE DON’T TEND TO USE OUR
POSITION TO GAIN INFLUENCE.
WE TEND TO REMAIN IMPARTIAL AND
THOSE MENTORS.
BUT IT’ -- THOSE MANNERS.
BUT IT’S NOT A DEBATE.
REPORTER: POLLS SUGGEST MOST
ISRAELIS SEEK A COMPROMISE, AND
THE PRESIDENT IS GOING FOR
POLITICAL DIALOGUE.
BUT THE SIZE OF THE LATEST
PROTESTS AND THE AUTHORITY’S
TOUGH RESPONSE SHOW JUST HOW
SPLIT ISRAEL HAS BECOME.
JAMES: LET’S HAVE A LOOK AT SOME
OTHER NEWS.
THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT HAS
URGED IRAN TO INVESTIGATE
REPORTS OF POISON ATTACKS ON
SCHOOLGIRLS IN RECENT MONTHS.
AT LEAST 700 GIRLS HAVE BEEN
POISONED BY TOXIC GASES SINCE
NOVEMBER.
MANY BELIEVE IT IS A DELIBERATE
ATTEMPT TO FORCE THEIR SCHOOLS
TO SHUT.
NO ONE HAS DIED BUT DOZENS HAVE
SUFFERED RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS,
NAUSEA, DIZZINESS, AND FATIGUE.
FINLAND HAS STARTED A PILOT
PROGRAM TO BUILD A WALL ALONG
ITS BORDER WITH RUSSIA.
THE BARRIER WILL RUN FOR NEARLY
TWO MILES.
NOVEMBER THE GOVERNMENT PROPOSED
SPENDING $140 MILLION TO BUILD
FENCES ALONG ITS BORDER
FOLLOWING RUSSIA’S INVASION OF
UKRAINE.
WE TURN NOW TO THIS.
THE BEST FRONT ROW SEAT IN THE
U.K., BUT ONLY ONE PERSON IS
ALLOWED TO SIT ON IT.
IT’S AN ANCIENT, EXTREMELY
UNCOMFORTABLE WOODEN CHAIR,
WHICH IS USED FOR JUST ABOUT ONE
OR TWO HOURS EVERY FEW DECADES.
IT IS OF COURSE THE CORONATION
CHAIR.
IT WILL PLAY A STARRING ROLE
WHEN KING CHARLES IS OFFICIALLY
CROWNED IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY IN
MAY.
AS OUR ROYAL CORRESPONDENT
NICHOLAS WITCHELL REPORTS.
NICHOL:ALAS: WESTMINSTER ABBEY IS
STILL BUSY WITH TOURISTS.
THE PHYSICAL PREPARATION HAS
BARELY BEGUN.
BUT IN ONE OF THE ABBEY’S SIDE
CHAPELS, ONE OF THE KEY
COMPONENTS OF THE CORONATION IS
BEING MADE READY.
THIS IS THE CORONATION CHAIR.
THE 700-YEAR-OLD CHAIR MADE IN
THE YEAR 1300 AND USED AT EVERY
CORONATION SINCE THEN.
THE LATE QUEEN ELIZABETH WAS
SEATED ON THE CORONATION CHAIR
FOR HER CROWNING IN 1953, JUST
AS HER NAMESAKE ELIZABETH I HAD
BEEN FOUR CENTURIES BEFORE, AND
HENRY VIII AND OTHERS BEFORE.
THE CHAIR BARKS -- MARKS THE
EARLIER CENTURY.
GRAFFITI FROM ONE VISITORS COULD
CARVE INITIALS INTO IT.
BUT CONSERVATIVES SAY -- BUT
CONSERVATIVES --
>> IT WOULD ORIGINALLY HAVE
PAINTED AND GILDED GLASSWORK AS
WELL SO IT WOULD LOOK METALLIC.
IT’S DECORATED WITH PUNCH WORK,
WHICH IS SMALL TINY DOTS USED TO
CREATE IMAGES.
THERE ARE BIRDS, FIGURES OF
SAINTS AND KINGS, LOTS OF
FOLIAGE AS WELL.
BECAUSE SO LITTLE SURVIVES OF
ENGLISH ART FROM THAT TIME, IT
REALLY IS AN EXQUISITE EXAMPLE
OF THE QUALITY OF CRAFTSMANSHIP
THAT DOES NOT SURVIVE ANYMORE.
NICHOLAS: BY CORONATION DATA
CHAIR’S PREPARATION DATE WILL BE
COMPLETE.
THEY WILL BE NO ATTEMPT TO
RESTORE ITS ORIGINAL GOLDLEAF
GILDING.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS CHAIR
IS ROOTED IN ITS AGE AND THE
CENTURIES OF HISTORY IT
EMBODIES.
THERE IS ONE VITAL PART OF THIS
HISTORIC CHAIR WHICH HAS STILL
TO BE ADDED.
IT’S THE STONE OF SPOON, THE
ANCIENT SLAB OF SANDSTONE ON
WHICH SCOTTISH KINGS USED TO BE
GROUND, WHICH, ON CORONATION
DAY, WILL REST JUST HERE,
UNDERNEATH THE SEAT ON WHICH
KING CHARLES WILL BE CROWNED.
ON CORONATION DAY ITSELF, A
STAGE, A PLATFORM WILL HAVE BEEN
BUILT IN THAT AREA IN FRONT OF
THE HIGH ALTAR.
IN THE CORONATION CHAIR WILL BE
THERE, THE CENTER OF ATTENTION,
FACING THE HIGH ALTAR, FOR THE
MOST SOLEMN PARTS OF THE
SERVICE, THE CROWNING AND THE
ANOINTING.
IT WILL BE THE CORONATION OF A
BRITISH KING.
A RELIGIOUS SERVICE TAILORED IN
SOME RESPECTS TO MODERN TIMES,
BUT HONORING THE CENTURIES OF
TRADITION, REPRESENTED BY THE
CHAIR WHICH WILL BE ITS
CENTERPIECE.
NICHOLAS WITCHELL, BBC NEWS,
WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
JAMES: BEFORE WE GO, WHAT DO YOU
DO WITH A SPARE 11 MINUTES?
A NEW STUDY FINDS THAT IF YOU
TAKE A BRISK WALK IN THAT TIME
IT WILL LOWER THE RISK OF SOME
SERIOUS DISEASE.
SURELY IT WAS WORTH AGO.
REPORTER: OFF I WENT.
I FOLLOWED MY OWN PERSONAL
DEFINITION OF BRISK.
WHICH CHANGED AS I WENT ALONG.
THE 11 MINUTES WENT BY PRETTY
QUICKLY.
I FELT PRETTY HEALTHY.
NUTRITION ADVICE, THOUGH, WAS
NOT INCLUDED.
JAMES: I DID DO SOME
MOONWALKING, BUT NO ONE WAS ABLE
TO SEE IT.
THAT IS JUST ABOUT IT FOR US
HERE ON WORLD NEWS AMERICA.

>> WELCOME TO THE NEWSHOUR.
IT IS A MYSTERY THAT HAS
CHALLENGED THE COUNTRIES
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY FOR
YEARS.
>> 1500 REPORTS OF AN
UNEXPLAINED ILLNESS KNOWN AS THE
HAVANA SYNDROME K NAMED AFTER
THE CITY WHERE U.S. OFFICIALS
AND DIPLOMATS SUFFERED FROM
COGNITIVE DIFFICULTIES AND EVEN
MEMORY LOSS.
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
ASSESSED IT WAS LIKELY NOT THE
WORK OF A FOREIGN ADVERSARY.
NICK SCHIFRIN IS HERE WITH MORE.
WHAT DOES THIS ASSESSMENT SAY?
>> THE TOP LINE IS EXACTLY WHAT
YOU JUST SAID.
THE MEMBERS OF THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY ARE DISSIPATING FOUND
IT QUOTE VERY UNLIKELY A FOREIGN
ADVERSARY WAS RESPONSIBLE, VERY
UNLIKELY A WEAPON OR ANY DEVICE
PURPOSELY OR ACCIDENTALLY CAUSED
THE SYMPTOMS AND THERE IS NOT A
CONSISTENT SET OF PHYSICAL
INJURIES THAT COULD BE
CHARACTERIZED AS HAVANA
SYNDROME.
THERE ARE VARYING LEVELS OF
CONFIDENCE AND NOT THE ENTIRE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
PARTICIPATED IN THIS.
THIS IS AS EMPHATIC A CONCLUSION
AS IT MAKES.
ON A SERIOUS CONDITION THAT WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT AMERICAN
SUFFERED IN CUBA, CHINA.
AMERICANS WHO WORKED ON RUSSIA.
EVEN U.S. OFFICIALS WHO SUFFERED
THIS IN THE UNITED STATES.
ONE OFFICIAL TOLD US WE CANNOT
TIE A FOREIGN ADVERSARY TO ANY
OF THOSE INSTANCES.
>> WHAT EVIDENCE DOES THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY PROVIDE
TO BACK THAT UP?
>> THE INTELLIGENCE PREFERS WHO
TALKED TO ME AND A DOZEN
REPORTERS TODAY, ONE OFFICIAL
SAID INTELLIGENCE POINTS AGAINST
FOREIGN INVOLVEMENT.
THIS OFFICIAL SAID ADVERSARIES
INCLUDING CHINA AND RUSSIA
EXPRESSED SOME CONFUSION WHEN
THE U.S. STARTED REPORTING HAVE
BEEN A SYMPTOMS.
MANY THOUGHT THIS WAS A U.S.
PLOT TO BLAME THEM FOR
SOMETHING.
THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THIS
OFFICIAL WENT ON TO SAY
UKRAINIANS OR ANY KIND OF
PARTNER COUNTRY SUFFERED FROM
ANY SYSTEMATIC ATTACK OR ANY
EVIDENCE AND ADVERSARY WAS EVEN
PRACTICING THIS KIND OF ATTACK.
EVIDENCE THEY WOULD HAVE SEEN IF
THEY BELIEVED AND ADVERSARY WAS
BEHIND THIS.
AS FOR THE WEAPON PREVIOUS
ASSESSMENTS THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY HAS CONSIDERED SAID
THAT DIRECTED ENERGY MIGHT HAVE
CAUSED THESE SYMPTOMS.
THE INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL TOLD
US THOSE WERE ALL WASHED OUT.
THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THE
OFFICIAL SAID ANY EVIDENCE
OVERCAME SOME OF THE CHALLENGES
TO CREATE SOME KIND OF MICROWAVE
THAT WOULD HAVE HAD TO GONE
THROUGH CONCRETE OR LINE OF
SIGHT TO SOME OF THESE VICTIMS.
I JUST SPOKE WITH THE HEAD OF
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
EXPERT PANEL AND HE DISAGREED.
HE SAID THE PANEL FOUND A DEVICE
COULD HAVE BEEN PORTABLE,
CONCEALABLE AND THERE COULD HAVE
BEEN MORE THAN ONE MECHANISM
USED.
HE SAID THE U.S. DOES NOT KNOW
ENOUGH ABOUT DIRECTED ENERGY TO
KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHETHER IT
COULD HAVE BEEN USED OR NOT.
>> IF WE ARE TO TAKE THIS
ASSESSMENT AT FACE VALUE, IF NOT
A FOREIGN ADVERSARY WITH A
WEAPON WHAT THEN EXPLAINS THE
SYMPTOMS THESE PEOPLE HAVE COME
FORWARD WITH?
1500 REPORTS ACROSS 96
COUNTRIES.
>> IT IS A GREAT QUESTION FOR
WHICH THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
DOES NOT HAVE A GREAT ANSWER.
THE OFFICIALS WE SPOKE TO
BRIEFED ON A COUPLE
POSSIBILITIES FOR WHAT THE
VICTIMS SUFFERED FROM.
THEY TALKED ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL
CIRCUMSTANCES.
ONE OFFICIAL TALKED ABOUT A
MALFUNCTIONING AIR-CONDITIONER
THAT CREATED UNDUE PRESSURE IN
ROOM.
THE OFFICIAL TALKED ABOUT
PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS.
WHAT THEY CALLED CONVENTIONAL
ILLNESS IN SOME OF THESE CASES
AND SOCIAL FORCES OTHERWISE
KNOWN AS MEDIA ATTENTION CAUSING
MORE PEOPLE TO REPORT WHAT THEY
SUFFERED.
THAT HAS NOT AMELIORATED WHAT
THE VICTIMS FELT PAIRED I TALKED
TO MULTIPLE FORMER OFFICIALS WHO
MADE THE SAME POINT.
26 AMERICANS AND CANADIANS IN
HAVANA AT THE SAME TIME FELT
SYMPTOMS AND THERE WERE NO
PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS
AMONG THEM NOR WAS THERE
COORDINATION BETWEEN THEM WHEN
THEY SUFFERED THESE VICTIMS.
WE TALKED TO ATTORNEY MARK ZAID
WHO REPRESENTS SEVERAL DOZEN OF
THESE VICTIMS AND THEIR
FAMILIES.
HE SAID THEY WERE DEMORALIZED
THESE FINDINGS AND THEY DISAGREE
WITH THEM.
>> THERE ARE COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
SITUATIONS THAT HAVE ARISE TO
WITH RESPECT TO SURVEILLANCE AND
INTERACTIONS WITH HUMAN
INDIVIDUALS WITH RESPECT TO OUR
INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS WHO HAVE
NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED.
THERE ARE TECHNICAL SITUATIONS
WHERE ELECTRONIC DEVICES HAVE
STARTED TO ACT STRANGELY IN THE
MIDST OF WHAT THE HUMAN
INDIVIDUAL INTERPRETS TO BE AN
AHI INCIDENT.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT HOW
ARE FOREIGN ADVERSARIES ARE VERY
CAPABLE OF DOING THIS.
THE TECHNOLOGY FRANKLY WAS
CREATED BY THE UNITED STATES FOR
THE MOST PART BACK FIVE OR SIX
DECADES AGO.
>> AHI IS ANOMALOUS HEALTH
INCIDENT.
THE INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS I
SPOKE TO TODAY RESPONDED TO SOME
OF THOSE CRITICISMS AND SAID
THEY DID TRACK DOWN EVERY LEAD
INCLUDING EVERYONE HE POINTED
OUT IN AN INVESTIGATION THEY
COMPARED TO THE OSAMA -- THE
OSAMA BIN LADEN HUNT BEFORE
COMING TO THEIR CONCLUSIONS.
AS FOR THE VICTIMS FEELING
REJECTED BY TODAY’S ASSESSMENT
CIA DIRECTOR BILL BURNS,
DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE ALL RELEASED
STATEMENTS SAYING THE SAME THING
THAT THEY BELIEVED VICTIMS PAIN
WAS REAL AND THAT WAS ECHOED AT
THE STATE DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN.
>> THE FINDINGS THAT THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY HAS
SPOKEN TO TODAY IN NO WAY CALL
INTO QUESTION THE EXPERIENCES,
THE SYMPTOMS THAT OUR COLLEAGUES
AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE
REPORTED IN RECENT YEARS.
>> WHILE THE VICTIMS DO SAY
THEIR MEDICAL CARE HAS IMPROVED
IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND
WHETHER OR NOT THEY RECEIVE CARE
WAS INDEPENDENT OF TODAY’S
ASSESSMENT, THEY CLEARLY BELIEVE
THEY WERE STILL A TARGET OF A
FOREIGN ADVERSARY AND THEY ARE
VERY UPSET BY TODAY’S FINDINGS.
>> THANKS MUCH FOR THAT
REPORTING.
?
>> IN THE DAYS OTHER HEADLINES,
MORE THAN HALF A MILLION VOTERS
IN CHICAGO HAVE SPOKEN.
THEY SAID NO TO THE INCUMBENT
MAYOR.
THEY WILL DECIDE WHO THE NEXT
MAYOR WILL BE VERY SOON.
JOHN YANG REPORTS ON TUESDAY’S
ELECTION RESULTS.
>> OBVIOUSLY WE DID NOT WIN THE
ELECTION.
>> CHICAGO MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT
TURNED OUT OF OFFICE AFTER JUST
ONE TERM.
SHE GOT 17% OF THE VOTE PLACING
THIRD IN NINE PERSON FIELD.
>> REGARDLESS OF TONIGHT’S
OUTCOME WE FOUGHT THE RIGHT
FIGHTS AND WE PUT THE CITY ON A
BETTER PATH NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
>> THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN AND THE
FIRST OPENLY GAY PERSON TO LEAD
THE CITY HAS BECOME THE FIRST
INCUMBENT TO LOSE REELECTION
SINCE JANE BYRNE IN 1983.
>> IT IS A SEISMIC EVENT IN
CHICAGO HISTORY.
>> A REPORTER AT WT TW,
CHICAGO’S PBS STATION.
>> IN 2019 SHE RAN AS A
PROGRESSIVE BUT DID NOT GOVERN
AS A PROGRESSIVE WHICH LEFT THAT
COMMUNITY ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED
AND READY TO PICK A NEW
CANDIDATE.
>> THE TOP TWO FINISHERS ADVANCE
TO A RUNOFF IN FIVE WEEKS
SQUARING OFF IN A CAMPAIGN
LIKELY TO FOCUS LARGELY ON CRIME
AND PUBLIC SAFETY.
THE FORMER OF CHICAGO SCHOOLS
WAS IN FIRST PLACE WITH A THIRD
OF THE VOTE.
HE IS THE ONLY WHITE MAYORAL
CANDIDATE IN A CITY THAT IS
ABOUT 2 BLACK AND 29% HISPANIC
. HE SAYS AS MAYOR HE WOULD
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF COPS ON
THE STREET.
>> THE VOTERS ONCE A MAYOR WHO
IS GOING TO THE CITY BACK ON
TRACK AND GOING TO ADDRESS THE
MOST PRESSING ISSUES.
OBVIOUSLY THE ISSUE OF PUBLIC
SAFETY IS FRONT AND CENTER.
>> CHICAGO, WE DID IT, Y’ALL.
>> BRENDAN JOHNSON, A COUNTY
COMMISSIONER AND FORMER TEACHER
SAYS HE WOULD FOCUS ON THE ROOT
CAUSES OF CRIME.
HE FINISHED SECOND EDGING OUT
LIGHTFOOT WITH 20% OF THE VOTE.
>> A FEW MONTHS AGO THEY SAID
THEY DID NOT KNOW WHO I WAS.
WELL, IF YOU DID NOT KNOW, NOW
YOU KNOW.
>> THIS IS THE MOST CHAOTIC
POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF THE VOTE
LAST NIGHT.
THE TWO CANDIDATES COMPLETELY
IDEOLOGICALLY OPPOSED.
RACE, APPROACH TO SCHOOLS,
APPROACH TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
>> NOW THE RUNOFF MATCHUP IS
SET, EARLY VOTING STARTS LATER
THIS MONTH FOR THE PBS NEWSHOUR,
I’M JOHN YANG.
>> LATE TODAY MAYOR LIGHTFOOT
ANNOUNCED CHICAGO’S POLICE
SUPERINTENDENT DAVID BROWN WILL
STEP DOWN IN TWO WEEKS.
BOTH OF THE CANDIDATES AND IN
THE RUNOFF VOWED TO REPLACE HIM
IF THEY ARE ELECTED.
FOR THE FIRST TIME POLICE IN
ISRAEL HAVE USED FORCE AGAINST
CROWDS PROTESTING AN OVERHAUL OF
THE NATION’S COURTS.
IT STARTED AFTER HUNDREDS OF
PEOPLE IN TEL AVIV BLOCKED
HIGHWAYS WAVING FLAGS.
OFFICERS ON HORSEBACK USED STUN
GRENADES AND OTHERS FIRED A
WATER CANNON.
THEY SAID PROTESTERS THREW ROCKS
AND WATER BOTTLES.
CRITICS OF THE PLAN SAY IT WOULD
WEAKEN THE INDEPENDENCE OF
ISRAEL’S JUDGES.
RESCUERS IN NORTHERN GREECE
SPENT THE DAY SEARCHING FOR
SURVIVORS IN BODIES AFTER AN
OVERNIGHT TRAIN CRASH KILLED 43
PEOPLE AND INJURED SCORES MORE.
A PASSENGER TRAIN IN FREIGHT
TRAIN COLLIDED HEAD-ON.
CRANES WERE BROUGHT IN TO LIFT
AROUND CARS AS CREWS DUG INTO
THE WRECKAGE.
THE PRIME MINISTER TOWARD THE
SITE AND PROMISED
ACCOUNTABILITY.
>> WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING
TODAY IS VERY DIFFICULT AS A
COUNTRY.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AN
UNSPEAKABLE TRAGEDY.
ONE THING I CAN GUARANTEE, WE
WILL FIND OUT THE CAUSES OF THIS
TRAGEDY AND DO EVERYTHING IN OUR
POWER TO MAKE SURE IT NEVER
HAPPENS AGAIN TO >> THE CAUSE OF
THE CRASH IS STILL UNKNOWN BUT
THE GREEK TRANSPORTATION
MINISTER RESIGNED TODAY AND A
STATIONMASTER IN NEARBY CITY WAS
ARRESTED.
IN UKRAINE A TOP GOVERNMENT

FARTHER NORTH THE SNOW ADDED TO

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO YOUR
PHONE AND CALL 1-800-236-3636.
>> MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING
PBS WISCONSIN FOR A WHILE.
MAYBE EVEN "NATURE" IS ONE OF
YOUR FAVORITE SHOWS.
YOU TUNE IN EVERY WEEK TO SEE
ANIMALS RIGHT HERE IN WISCONSIN
OR FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
BUT YOU HAVEN'T YET BECOME A
MEMBER BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, PBS,
IT'S SUPPORTED BY THE
GOVERNMENT, RIGHT?
WELL, WE DO RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM
THE FEDERAL AND STATE
GOVERNMENT.
BUT THE NUMBER ONE SOURCE OF
SUPPORT COMES FROM VIEWERS LIKE
YOU, PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU WHO
LOVE THE PROGRAMMING, WHO COUNT
ON THE PROGRAMMING, OUR NUMBER
ONE SOURCE OF SUPPORT.
AND IT TAKES EACH OF YOU ONE AT
A TIME.
SO IF YOU'RE THINKING MY SUPPORT
ISN'T GOING TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE, IT IS.
IT'S THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE
HAVE.
IT GIVES US A NICE, STABLE
- SUPPORT OF FINANCIAL FINANCES
COMING IN RATHER THAN HAVING TO
RELY ON ADVERTISING OR JUST
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT.
YOU HELP STABILIZE OUR
ORGANIZATION, ONE MEMBERSHIP AT
A TIME.
BUT IT ALL STARTS WITH YOURS,
1-800-236-3636.
>> WE'VE BEEN THROWING A LOT OF
NUMBERS OUT AT YOU TONIGHT.
$10 A MONTH, $20 A MONTH, $30 A
MONTH.
AT THE END OF THE DAY THE AMOUNT
THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU AS A
MEMBER OF PBS WISCONSIN IS THE
ONE THAT'S RIGHT FOR US, BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT PBS WISCONSIN IS.
IT IS A GRASSROOTS MEMBER
ORGANIZATION BRINGING YOU THE
HIGH-QUALITY PROGRAM YOU'VE COME
TO EXPECT.
I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
REMIND YOU THAT IF YOU HAVE THE
MEANS, A HIGHER NUMBER IS ALWAYS
ALSO WELCOME.
I WANT TO THANK THE FOLKS WHO
ARE MEMBERS OF OUR DIRECTORS
CIRCLE, WHO HAVE GIVEN A GIFT OF
$1,000 OR PERHAPS $100 A MONTH.
IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO JOIN
THEM, WE WOULD DEEPLY APPRECIATE
IT.
IF YOU DON'T, THAT'S OKAY.
WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU'RE A
PART OF THIS COMMUNITY BY
CALLING 1-800-236-3636.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
WE LIKE TO SAY IT DOESN'T MATTER
HOW MUCH THAT YOU GIVE, IT ONLY
