brings those agency bases in line with the overall vaccination rate in the city. in fact, across all the city agencies, about 9000 employees have been placed on unpaid leave. that may scene like a lot. but keep in mind the city is over 3000 and 70,000 people on people. those 9000 people make up less than two and a half percent of the initial employees. i would've up police? well, fewer than three dozen uniformed officers have about 35,000 replaced on home paid leave on monday when the deadline expired. less than three dozen. 34 near cops were put on leave, out of 35,000. about port zero 9%. this isn't the case in the city where police union bosses have threatened that they will walk, out there's gonna be chaos on the, street and then you know what happens, they don't. they get the vaccine. like in seattle rusting ten, the police department warned that 27% of its officers did not get some of their vaccination records ahead of the city's deadline, when once the mandate was, in place about 176 police officers and firefighters combined were unable to report to work. t

here in the u.s., the nation's largest city is now allowing anyone over the age of 18 to get a covid booster shot. sam brock is in miami with more. >> reporter: good morning. good to be with you. the bottom line here is this ramps up the pressure on the fda and cdc to update their guidelines as more cities and states are expected to follow suit. local officials argue that the government's position on boosters is they should be available for high risk populations and everybody in their city or state is at high risk. right now the federal government is choosing to look the other way. with covid cases once again on the rise, health leaders coast to coast are trying to pump the brakes on an upward trend. new yorkers likely recognize these ads with the city's health commissioner, who's been encouraging booster for those 65 and older or with underlying health conditions. now with backing from the mayor, offering them to fully vaccinated adults, six months after pfizer and moderna or two months after the johnson & johnson jab. >> we have to stay astep ahead of the virus. the decision that n

in this bitter battle with the city over the vaccinations. the judge said that has unionized employees, police officers have a right to have their objections heard by an arbitrator before the requirement takes effect. officers would still have to report their vaccination stouts to the cities. about 71% of the department reported their status so far by last week. that's the lowest of any police department in the country. all while nearly 500 law enforcement officers have died from work-related covid since the start of the pandemic. jose? >> and steve, it's been a tough week for airline passengers with american airlines. flight cancellations in the thousands. what's going on? >> more trouble in the friendly skies. american airlines canceled more flights over the weekend, bringing its total number of cancellations since friday to more than 2,000. according to flight tracker, there were 376 canceled flights by monday afternoon. that's 13% of the airline's scheduled flights. another 375 were delayed. the airline has cited staffing shortages and ba

at least five of the victims were under the age of 18. >>> and the 50th running of the new york city marathon was held today. it was cancelled last year due to covid-19. both the men's and women's races had first-place winners from kenya. they finished the 26-mile jaunt through new york's five boroughs in less than two and a half hours. more "politicsnation" with reverend al sharpton, right after this break. bipolar depression. it made me feel like i was trapped in a fog. this is art inspired by real stories of people living with bipolar depression. i just couldn't find my way out of it. the lows of bipolar depression can take you to a dark place... ...and be hard to manage. latuda could make a real difference in your symptoms. latuda was proven to significantly reduce bipolar depression symptoms and in clinical studies, had no substantial impact on weight. this is where i want to be. latuda is not for everyone. call your doctor about unusual mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patien

the vaccination rate shot up at many city agencies at the that the city's emergency medical services which operates ambulances, the vaccination rate jumped to 87% to to from 61. sanitation jumped 20 points to 8 fers from 62. the adult vaccination rate across new york city is at 86%. that's a good boost in less than two weeks. provides though agencies basically in line with the overall vaccination rate of the city. in fact, across all the city agencies about 9,000 employees have been placed on unpaid leave. now, leave that may seem like a lot but keep in mind the city has over 370,000 people on payroll. the 9,000 people make up less than 2.5% of municipal employees. what about the police? fewer than three dozen uniformed officers out about 35,000 were placed on paid leave on monday when the deadline expired. less than three dozen. 34 new york cops put on leave out of 35,000. about 0.9%. this has been the case in city after city where police union bosses have threatened and all the force will walker out. it chaosen on streets. you know what happens. ? they don't. they get the vaccine.

himself yesterday near the city. so i'm no longer in danger. >> well, that's good. that's good news. >> i know. so everything is good. >> we didn't have any information like that. law enforcement had not given her any information like that. >> the call rang all kinds of alarm bells for investigators, but didn't yield a lot in the way of hard evidence. but cops thought they had the goods on becky in another way. by now, they had examined that weapon found in the dryer and concluded it belonged to becky. on september 23rd, the day before keith's funeral, becky was arrested and charged with his murder. >> what was her reaction? >> she seemed shocked. she was yelling things at us. >> an open and shut case? becky's brother said far from it. >> law enforcement here let us all down because what i want is the truth. >> in court, evidence would be examined, and the truth, it would turn out to be more bizarre than anyone could have guessed. >>> coming up -- the secret life of the fire chief's wife. >> she just openly told me,

and in seattle, lefty seattle, a republican will become the new city attorney on the back of a law and order campaign. these election results from last week are begging the question have the democrats gone too far to the left on policing and criminal justice reform? well, hold on. not so fast. in austin, voters also rejected a ballot proposal that would have forced the city to hire hundreds of new police officers. and in philadelphia progressive prosecutor larry krasner a leader in the national criminal justice reform movement easily won re-election for the city's district attorney job. put together what do the result say about the state of race and crime and policing around the country? who better to ask than the philadelphia district attorney larry krasner who joins me now. thanks so much for coming back on the show. first off, congratulations on your re-election. you faced quite a few head winds, homicides are up in philly. shooting incidents are up this year compared to last. the conviction rates for illegal gun possession were down from 63 to 49% over the first two years of your f

amend the city's charter, removing the city's police department and replacing it with the department of public safety. nbc's shaq brewster is outside a polling location in minneapolis for us. thanks for joining us on this. walk us through the ballot initiative here and what the changes could actually mean for minneapolis. >> good morning, well, it's the second question that voters behind me, as they're going into early voting has already been underway here in minneapolis. it's the second question that these voters will see on the ballot. you mentioned it. it's asking them whether or not they want to eliminate the minneapolis police department and replace it with a more all encompassing department of public safety. now, the department of public safety they say could include police officers if necessary. the specific definitions and what you know and what we know about the department of public safety, that is not spelled out. that will be determined in the weeks and months to come, but what we do know -- and this is a major change, a major point of contention. it would not be exclusive

the mayor elect of the largest city in america. eric adams speaking at his victory party last night about the new directions while invoking drake. one of several new figures breaking barriers and redefining who leads some of the largest cities. the press may be overemphasizing certain results eyeing the virginia governor's race as this classic bellwether, but that state's second highest office now features the first female and woman of color ever. pittsburgh electing its first black mayor ever. cincinnati electing its first asian american mayor and a city with notorious local politics and ethnic strife, boston, where cornell just mentioned bussing as a pretext for race, that was a big issue there for many decades. only now today is boston breaking a 199-year streak of exclusively white men running that city. we checked. there would never been a woman or a minority as mayor until now. michelle wu is the mayor elect of boston. 2020 was a year that elected the most diverse congress in american history. it also had the highest turnout

it's the 125th anniversary this year of the city of waukesha. and so, we were excited to be part of it again, especially after not being able to see it last year. >> greg, boy. anything i missed in terms of something that you and your wife or your family talked about walking back home? >> just trying to keep our kids safe. that's the biggest thing. we have our three young kids with us. they saw everything. so we were just trying to keep them safe and got them home and got some hot chocolate just to warm us up. it was pretty windy out there and trying to keep them as safe as possible and help them find the joy and know that our first responders were there to help and helping everyone in this situation. >> how many first responder vehicles did you see if you had to guess? >> just in the moment we started walking back i would say dozens. gosh, i would say 40, pushing 50 emergency vehicles. not only city police but also county sheriff. >> sure. >> vehicles. any and every -- >> how fast? >> emergency vehicle. i would say 40, 50 miles per hour. >> i'm

vests and turned around the city. we can do it again. new york is too expensive and bureaucratic to do business in. our agencies are focused on penalizing businesses and holding up businesses from opening. think about this for a moment. you build a hotel in new york, you're ready to bring in business travelers and hire people, and you will wait almost two years just to get a sprinkler inspection. or try opening a restaurant and wait two years for con edison to turn on your electricity. this condition happen in a city where we're trying to recover. the overwhelming number of our employees use the subway system every day. but it's preventing people from getting back in the office spaces. once we deal with the foundation of being safe, we can help those communities that historically we have not been able to turn around. >> as you know, some firefighters and cops have pushed back on the vaccine mandate. have you going to keep the vaccines in place? >> i made this clear on the campaign trail. during the time that this is a

right now our focus, the waukesha police department's focus, the city of waukesha's focus, is the families, the victims, and due process, right, because that's important. >> is this for the chief? go ahead. >> reporter: [ inaudible ] domestic situation, there may have been a knife involved, [ inaudible ] in the parade? >> we have no information that brooks knew anybody in the parade. but i will say this. we weren't even able to respond to that domestic call before it actually -- so we couldn't even investigate it. so was there an initial complaint of a knife being involved? yes. do we know if there actually was one there? we don't know, because we didn't even make it there. we ended up immediately responding to the crisis. >> reporter: there's been a lot of confusion about just how this person got to the parade, questions about barricade and that kind of thing. is there anything in the investigation about why [ inaudible ] crowds? >> i'll tell you this. we actually had a squad and barricades up. and he drove right through the barricades and the officers. when the officer tried to engage an

this is the city of which is pique. there's a couple hundred of thousands people in chesapeake, very similar to virginia beach. it was won by joe biden in 2020, after going for donald trump in 2016. again, youngkin, when you get to the end of the night, is he 52, 53%. a scattering of vote there right now. there's a lot of scattered precincts reporting out there same day vote. where you're seeing same-day vote anywhere, that's the most youngkin-friendly type of votes. still big areas here where there's nothing or very little from. and just keeping an eye on this. >> steve, just to sort of bring together all of these things that you're saying. it seems to me like if i had a choice right now behind the veil of ignorance to be either terry mcauliffe or glenn youngkin, i would rather be glenn youngkin. although nothing is determinative, nothing is defined, nothing is decided, it's all still too early to call, but from the numbers we're seeing, nothing is bad numbers from youngkin. >> however, as i say, a lot of this is same-

the city of kenosha now bracing for possible unrest following the verdict. all of this after another surprise bombshell with potentially huge ramifications. the judge dismissing a weapons charge against the 18-year-old. gabe gutierrez in kenosha. dave henderson former civil rights attorney joins us and right on set, good to see someone in person, criminal defense attorney danny cevallos. what's the latest? >> reporter: now, the jury must decide that central question, did this teenage provoke the violence, or just defend himself against it. this morning, kyle rittenhouse's case will be in the hands of the jury, after closing arguments painted two very different pictures. >> he feared for his life. >> the defendant provoked everything. >> reporter: last august during protests in kenosha, wisconsin, rittenhouse shot and killed two men and wounded a third. the prosecution portrayed rittenhouse as a wannabe soldier that provoked the bloodshed. >> you cannot claim self-defense against a danger you create. >> reporter: arguing rittenhouse crossed state lines lookin

it was the 125th anniversary i believe of the city on top of that. as he said good-bye he was saying one last thing, i have to tell you before you let me go, if everybody could just say a little prayer for us. you know, jonathan, this is not a story you want to tell but that was the sort of information and how it is affecting local residents there. >> right. i heard that interview you did with him, richard. you could hear the emotion in his voice. in the last hour, there was a very brief i don't even want to call it a press conference, just remarks by public officials when they told us where the next briefing would be. did they give us any information in that brief talk that they gave in the last hour to sort of fill in the picture here? >> the one thing you probably saw, too, was first of all the mayor expresses the very emotional hurt the city is going through talking to residents of waukesha and then the chief of police which you could also tell, they're only hours in this happening at 4:39 local time. he came to the cameras only two hours later.

, the largest county -- the largest city in the county, and the fact that the county itself is almost 30%, it is outrageous that all the black jurors, prospective jurors, were stricken on, we believe, pretextual reasons. you can't have intentional discrimination and then the court sit idly by and say there's nothing that we could do. that's how you get the outcomes that we have gotten historically to make black people not trust the justice system. >> ben, let me play some sound from the judge on thursday over how he feels as if, essentially, his hands were tied when it came to jury selection. >> this court has found that there appears to be intentional discrimination in the panel. quite a few african-american jurors were excused through preemptory strikes exercised by the defense. but that doesn't mean that the court has the authority to reseat, and the court is not going to place upon the defendants a finding that they are being disingenuous to the court or otherwise are not being truthful with the court when it comes to their reasons for striking these jurors. >> what do you think o

of the poorest cities in the nation. we're looking at an infrastructure bill that could likely help a city like yours, a district like yours. what are some of your top priorities when it comes to this human infrastructure bill? what are your nonnegotiables? >> well, listen, i understand it takes compromise to get things done. and so what i really want to see is just more opportunities to get people back to work so that means universal child care, universal pre-k expansion, expanding that child tax credit, those are things going to be very important to the people of the 11th congressional district. increasing the maximum spend for pell grants so we have better opportunities to put people on pathway to prosperity. those are the things critically important that i hear the most. also when we think about lowering prescription drug costs, that's going to be important. so it's a lot in this bill that will really change the lives of constituents not only in ohio's 11th congressional district but throughout the country. when we t
