hundreds of thousands of hangers. >> i would probably move closer to manhattan. it's further south in brooklyn because the l train is the only main source of transportation. >> i feel like i'm screwed and i have to figure out what i will do in my lease is up if i want to renew it or not . >> the mta says it's committed to meeting with residents, businesses and others. it will consult with elected officials before making decisions about the construction process and the service alternatives. another possible plan is to keep the l train service at the heart and stop going along 14th st. it's important to mention it will not happen until the year after so there is plenty of time to speak up. >> a lot of people are talking i get to a line? >> it's a pain in the neck.

weekends with the transportation to get there. that is my guess. >> carrie, thank you. >> we have a lot more coming up. chase is looking to fios is not cable. we're wired differently. in the last 10 years our competitors have received a few awards. but we've received a few more, including jd power who ranked us highest in customer satisfaction for the third year in a row. only fios has the fastest internet on the most awarded network. now get super-fast 100 meg internet tv and phone for just $69.99 per month, online. cable can't offer internet speeds this fast at a price this good,

but it's a little more common to see it any other areas. it's another chilly start to the day. berkeley heights has 25 in the same thing in pinebrook . the sky is clearing up now in the rain has moved on. look out for that with icy spots out there. you left your car out there and it's a good chance it froze up on you so give it some chance to defrost. the hike was up to 40 and there's a lot of sunshine out there.it's breezy and cold this time of the year and it's well below normal. on thursday it's a solid day of rain. let's plan ines and see what's going on. she had trouble opening her car door.

>> with the morning commute , it's not bound by tree mound avenue. an accident involved a tractor-trailer and there's a lane closure. new jersey, things are fine on 287. let's look at the fdr drive. we are by 79th st. and traffic moves out on 63rd. should be wrapping up soon. traffic is moving at the speed limit westbound and eastbound looks good. trains are running on a close.>> incorporated you ines. >> there is another subway slashing. it happened just before 130 on the southbound to train. the men ran off with the stop in the victim's injuries are said to be

>> it's the latest in the slashing terrorizing the city. knife related crimes have increased 20% in the first quarter of this year. that's compared to the first 1:45 thousand 15 at 1746 in the three-month period one year ago. 899 this year. murders and shootings have dropped . the number in three-month period should be 68 murders as of sunday. it's down from 86 when you're ago. >> a convicted cop or has died. you might remember the story back in 1941. another man was in a van in queens. they were stopped by two police officers who looked at the van and said it matches one with some robberies in the area. the two men came out with guns blazing and the officer died in the shootout. he was shot in the head twice. his partner was shot all

severely wounded. he was forced to quit the department. he was not killed but he suffered severe injuries. he died at a medical facility on sunday and he was serving at the facility up for parole or release next month.the officer is a father of several friends of mine and one of whom who became a police officer himself. he is an nypd police officer and really, from a personal standpoint, the officers last act as a cop was to scribble down the license plate of the van. there is an and assemblyman in brooklyn. i believe it's charles baron. he seems to feel as though this should not have happened. the victim here is the man who died in prison. he felt he should have been persecuted because he is a former member of the black liberation army. he was persecuted and he

from prison. from a personal standpoint, i am thrilled that these people can move on with her life now. it's been a terrible thing for the family. >> that's my two cents. >> 5:36 am.the nypd is cracking down on atb and bike riders drive illegally on city streets. they sees more than 300 motorcycles, dirt bikes and atvs. 65 in the last two weeks. that's just ahead of the summer months and they made the arrest and they made a point to say the city is planning a crush to destroy each and every confiscated vehicle. >> now to the race for the white house with hillary clinton bernie sanders agree on a date to debate . >> it might be the last time donald trump rivals can stop him. let's talk about this with robert moses who has been covering it from the very beginning . robert morning. >> wisconsin is a key state

sanders.they have to win if they have any hope of derailing different letters. the good news is the child in narrow lead. he is alongside his wife monica and consider her a character witness. by his own admission, he had a rough week last week. his appeal took a hit and his campaign manager was arrested for assaulting a female reporter. he is locked in a tight race in wisconsin and both trumpet crews have called for case it to drop out of the race. casey had a message for trump saying he is not going anywhere . >> he said i was winning his voters any better get ready because i will when a lot . >> you are not backing out? >> you should have been here tonight it was just fantastic. >> on the democratic side, hillary clinton bernie sanders announce plans for a brooklyn navy yard coming

york primary on the 19th. >> there was a lot of ways to cop with the debate. they settled on it and bernie sanders will have to campaign the rally in washington sq., park . he says it's worth it so that he can participate. >> thank you robert. >> the new round of common core starts today. the education officials say they have made major changes to the controversial set from when they were first handed out. teresa is live outside ps 123 with more. >> the question this morning is are the test improving in any way? they mention today that it marks the first time that the new test will be given here in new york. it's controversial to say the least. we will see how it's all

it's not just controversial here in new york it's really something that nationally has drawn the eye of parents, students and teachers. parents do have a legal right to not have their child set for the test. the big question mark is, who will sit for it and how many students? will they do well on it? there's a lot of reasons why parents, students and teachers are not in favor. they claim the old test were not grade appropriate and they said it assumes that all students learn at the same pace and in the same way. they believe that these exams change the culture of the classroom and it's in large part because it tied teacher performance to the results of the test. all of this has been changed with this new test and they are shorter and not timed. they will stand alone meaning that they will not be tied to the teacher

a student moves forward depending on how they do. take a listen. >> they will widen the achievement gap between non-white students. >> i never walk out of the room where we discuss all the testing and what's going on where someone says, i am going to make sure my kid takes that test. >> common core is confusing and when i went home i got really upset and made my parents upset . >> new york is one of 46 states that participate in common core. it's essentially a national standard. they want to be able to see if someone who is learning in new york is learning at the same pace and standard . last year 20% of new york students opted out of the test and of those that took it , 30% pass the english portion and 34% past the math percent

that's the latest. >> ben and juliet, back to you. juliet: think you, teresa. ben: it's cold in brooklyn and elsewhere. let's check the weather forecast. here it is. it's windy. 570 for the higher we come in 700 shy of the normal high and 800 for the record. that standing we have only 280 in newark and 27 in central park. 29 and isolate. the temperatures are more reflective of what you get in the early or mid january. it's the coldest time of the year. it's a cold start to the day. here we are a few weeks into spring .it does not feel like it with the sky clearing out. we get clear sunshine and it's breezy out there from the northeast.the high temperature will manage 400 this afternoon and 48 tomorrow and 50 on thursday. there is a nice warm-up

went to lock up the playoff spot. in the first area, ryan mcdonough is not so great news. he block the shot and he heard the right hand. he did not return after the first period. the islanders take on tampa bay. 5/2 and they remain behind the rangers for the third place in the metro. the game gets underway just after 4:00 our time. let's send him on the mound. the yankees home opener

we will try. yesterday was snowed out. it's the weather that's really bad here. i think it was a cold and fans would be miserable. it was really nasty out. nonetheless it was a disappointment for some teams but the manager entered his ninth season and he says it's no big deal. >> it kind of messes up a schedule little bit. it messes up your plans. again, is part of what we go through. we do not play in controlled conditions. we don't play inside. we know these things can happen. we build up to it and we hope we get to play it. we have to wait today.>> if you are coming out here today the yankees encourage you to take them and the gates open at 11:00. it will take some time to

dress warm. it was 30 miles per hour. it's a little bit colder than 280 that it is right now. ben and juliet, let's go back to you. ben: at least it's not >> for now! >> it's much drier but it's not funny. >> exactly. whether it's personal or professional does take a hit this time of year. generally speaking, it's not completely safe to do the planning thing until early may because this still happens. >> here's what we have with gametime forecast. the yankee home opener at 105. this is what we are expecting. the wind should be a little

temperatures around 390 with the northwind. it's 20 mph and gusting higher from time to time. it's not a picture-perfect day out there but you have to throw on some extra layers and you should be good to go. >> we have 270 in central park and 16 in monticello. 290 in allentown. the windchill factor and what it feels like as duke mention it will be 170 only. that is not necessarily the voice of summer weather. that's what it feels like a central park. we will get better once the sun comes up. it will get a breezy and windy day out there. breaking up. the rain from yesterday is really moving on , thank goodness for that. look out for some icy conditions out there. where the snow in the winter makes gay men , some places are stuck and we have some icy services to deal with. it's out to see and there's

we have sunnier skies and we are at a pretty solid day on thursday and even friday. it should dry out after that.cooler temperatures will fall off. amateur wise, we only manage 400 for the high today. 44 and we will be breezy. tomorrow we will see a high of 48 . it's quite wet wrapping up early on friday. it's cooler and drier over the upcoming weekend. those are the below normal temperatures. >> normal high is 570. >> not even close. >> here's what's going on. we have earlier issues on the cross bronx. the bronx river parkway. cleared away so we see an accident on the freeway north bound by tremont. you have a lame close there.
