airport. but what you don't expect fairies running the ground and problems with the best system. a town divided. accusations of anti-semitism and racism. i'll talk to the guy at the center of the controversy. i'm bill spadea, this is chasing news. as if her time again, there's no free lunch in america, unless your kid in the new york city system. the free lunches all around. that everybody's happy. some religious leaders are speaking out sin that nearly four in ten kids in new york city public school system are jewish or muslim. there's no availability for free lunches for their dietary needs. there have been rallies, and

it's time for mayor diblasio to do something. we're joined with jake, political director for the orthodox union. jake, welcome to chasing news. >> thank you for having me. tell me about the rallies. they are all upset and taken to the streets. what are you doing what you hope to accomplish? >> back in september mayor diblasio route had announcement that he was going to have a free and nutritious lunch to every student in new york city, whether they're in public school or charter school. he made this announcement and then he said i'm suv kosher or hello, and then you are out of luck. >> is that based on cost?

they might say well you complaining about? your free lunches, you can accommodate everybody. who should take up the at a cost? >> it is not based on cost. i'll tell you a secret the mayor doesn't want you to know. he is taking advantage of a federal program which allows the entire city, every student to access this program. the same every student is eligible to have a free lunch unless you you kosher. >> the government doesn't like muslims or jews or is there some reason for making it standard across the board? i remember public school lunches were pretty awful. >> i don't think this .-ellipsis everybody's but the jews and muslims, they just do not think it through well enough in typical diblasio fashion.

they said will roll it out and take credit before the election. >> that i understand. i have to move on. thank you for talking to me. >> take care. >> let's bring in the panel. i'm joined by an immigration attorney, a political strategist, a former prosecutor and now defense attorney. it seems to me that every group there is an exception may no matter what is in a group to commence a wise and their vegan option or a peanut-free option. there could be any number of exceptions. i don't a problem with the general's school lunch. >> in this scenario some is 40% of the students. it is a significant amount of the student population is not able to protein during their meal. >> who should pay for? >> there's an easy solution. there's kosher and caterers who could do this cost-effectively.

>> why should they? we have all kinds of things about the church and state, now are going to make an accommodation because one group is making it political against diblasio. >> it is a legal issue. it's discriminated against these groups. there is a government taxpayer funded thing for lunch for all kids. they don't have the ability not to go to school. therefore they should be accommodate. we understand it is a religious freedom issue. you can't give something to some and not all. you have to accommodate the racial discrepancy. it's not really difficult to do. >> it's probably pretty easy. there's food service providers. >> have to leave it there. travel over the thanksgiving holiday is expected to be rough.

if you new york city is getting worse every year. take a look at what happened at jfk airport. two planes clipped wings. the people at laguardia get another cab and went to the terminal because it was so congested the caps can get to the gate. see the fair that ran aground? almost 90 passengers had to be rescued. there's a new report that talks about the buses in new york ci city. there literally fall apart. what's worse is not going anywhere when they are in service. the average bus is averaging under a miles per hour. it's a mess and a lot of finger-pointing going on. let's break it down. bob, what a mess. >> i am pain bite every week going into the city. you try the bus that's a

disaster. the train is a disaster. so, i have to drive in. in the last year i don't know what's going on but two or three triple parked trucks. it's like threading a needle. you can get through the city faster on a tricycle. >> in the last eight years they've lost a hundred million passenger trips. more people are driving because i can't rely mass transit. trains are [inaudible] time and the buses are disaster. the fairies the best option but it's not viable for everyone. no one wants to accept responsibility. everyone wants to point the finger of blame. it's from not investing and mass transit system. >> it's almost unfair. i will pull the fairy out of it. think those unfortunate timing. they're trying to explore new routes. a few balls need repairs.

compared to the trains, the homeless, the cleanliness, it's disgusting. >> the solution is someone needs to take ownership and come up with new innovative ideas. it's getting worse. >> liza mayor diblasio being held accountable? wasn't the governor being held accountable. >> i go back to a bill murphy says about building an infrastructure with the greatest economic engine in the world. why the politicians of new york city don't understand the people of new jersey to get over there easy. that's an infrastructure problem i think the governor should apply pressure new york so we can benefit from this economic boom.

>> the fairies run more on time and are more effective and efficient than any other. >> but they're expensive and not that many of them. there's only a few locations to really get over. >> maybe they should invest in more votes. >> he made this a big part of his platform. is 100% onto something. >> they could have a little bit of trouble. here's a look at headlines. >> more news about disgraced harvey wildstein. there's a suit against him and the wildstein company alleging he sexually assaulted her in the hotel room at the 2013 film festival. >> he said i need to relax in. >> because they happened overseas he could face charges

welcome back to jason's. marshall for you tonight. a battle raging in one local town from an anonymous blog and accusations of anti-semitism and racism. i'll talk to the man at the center of the controversy. let's go to ashley who has a story of a princess professor who they say espionage and he says research. what he got? >> take a look at this video posted to youtube by iranian -- it shows a princeton university student cents to ten years in

prison and iran for spine under the cover of research. he was arrested more than a year ago in 2016. his wife spoke with nbc news on tuesday pleading for the trump administration to do more to help with the release. they have a 4-year-old son. we tried to reach out to the wife but have not heard back. antonia has been covering the situation since july. princeton university first made a public he was arrested. >> he may have been prompted to say stuff. he's speaking to them about meeting with u.s. counsel. the end of the sentence appears to be cut off and we don't get the rest of what he say. >> princeton release two statements. the latest reads, the iranian state tv broadcast about our graduate is filled with false

and misleading statements about him and princeton. at the end, princeton university states that he was detained, the university is doing what they can to bring him home to his wife and young son. enabling him to resume his scholarly work. his wife said her husband is desperate and tried to commit suicide. >> thank you. the spring in our panel. jeanette, political strategist and bob. bob, 4500 documents, your scanning but if you like they're

painting a picture of a spy movie. doesn't seem that's what's happening. >> we just don't know. they allege it was espionage. we don't know what the documents were, how he got them if you still them or not. when you're in a place like iran or north korea, you better make sure you are careful about what you're doing. >> he's been a naturalized citizen since 2009. a princeton professor. you think you'd have enough sense. but the american council said sure, come on in. >> it's a sad situation. i had an interview with his wife and she's depressed his health is deteriorating. there's other people in prison there. and the government is holding hostage to use to negotiate. >> is a time for travel ban to stop americans to go to dangerous places? putting the resources of the american tax people in jeopardy. >> as a public service announcement they do a have travel warnings.

i would advise you to go into the website and read the travel warning. >> is iran on there? >> yes. they've called on these prisoners to be released but this is a murderous regime. they don't care about the human rights of americans. >> thank you. a political battle raging in one local town that has a councilman accused of racism and anti-semitism. let's get the details from allison. >> members of the orthodox jewish community are calling for the counselor to resign. according to the anonymous website is unfairly surveilling and targeting orthodox trish holmes. the past week they released

e-mails from 2016 from the councilman and other city employees. they discuss complaints received from residents about an excessive number people entering homes. it's not the council's responsibility to investigate the matter and he cannot order the staff to do anything. he followed up and said there's a huge difference between code enforcement targeting. that is not how others see the situation. >> you're talking about -- is that there is another citizen who arrived an angry message, he was councilman. >> he admits to no wrongdoing. >> the spring and the guy at the center of this controversy. rob, welcome. there's a blog out there saying your anti-semitic and racist. what are you doing. >> well i think lack of communication is at the center.

it is disheartening when on attributed quotes and out of context are used to paint a false narrative. >> was a difference between targeting and investigating and what would the council have by driving going by. >> have no investigative authority. there's a difference between constituent services and following up on complaints. my feeling is when i got complaints from residents and they didn't feel like we are following up on issues i wanted to make sure they got an answer. when are people who something was clear that the end of the discussion. highlighted by this property.

>> some of these allegations are coming from people who are worried that jackson will become the next lakewood. we've seen it play out over new jersey. is that what's happening? >> i think our town is very welcoming. what the other towns too, can't control. we are very much welcome an open community. >> are you anti- somatic? >> that's most ridiculous thing i've heard. absolutely not. that kind of angry and hateful stuff has to stop. >> so you'll fight through the allegations and not stopping? >> i love serving our town in residence. let's communicate, let's lower the volume and create policy that make it a time people want to move to and stay in.

i'm proud to do it. >> i've known you for more than 25 years, you are not anti-semitic nor racist. thanks for coming on. >> let's break it down. my concern about this is anonymous blogger, out of context quotes. we don't know what was actually said. as an attorney when you look at this, to me the accusation are dangerous. more and more people are getting away with attacking people's characters. >> the important thing is we make sure it doesn't happen in the future. when you to look at the facts. >> to look at this, what would be the reason? is this a zoning issue? that people can gather for certain activities?

is it your responsibility to respond to constituents? >> the attorney general has just rebuked to town that they use ordinances and zoning to discriminate against people there's a disproportionate enforcement against some groups than others. >> that's not what's going on. i've known rob for a long time. he is a dedicated public servant. then i cuban people out of the park. they're not changing the right-of-way loss. it's a different situation. a lot of rhetoric has been taken out of context. >> it's good to see you. let's check in with dan with your weather. >> 24 hours to go of mild and quiet weather before things go

downhill this week. will find yourself on the edge of cold air and warm air. not a terrible place to be because it is kept weather quiet and mild. fiftys on tuesday, 60 and wednesday with sunshine and dry weather. later in the week clouds and a cool down. next chance for rain is late thursday and early friday. your forecast for tonight isn't that cold. we avoid the frosting freeze for most of the area most in the low to mid 40s. clear skies, quite dry weather. wednesday afternoon 60 degrees. not bad. we'll get a little breezy as the day presses on they because to 20 miles per hour. thursday's downhill, skies coffee and overcast by midmorning. high temperatures down around 5r wednesday. >> we have more show, and up

>> welcome back to chasing news. we are more show for you tonight. sexual misconduct scandals raging through the political world, impacting senators and candidates on both sides of the aisle. >> roy moore held his first campaign event more than a week i released an ad directly addressing the charges. >> these allegations are false. they are malicious. specifically, i know any of these women. >> a new accuser has come

forward for john conyers. accusing him of touching her inappropriate. new allegations from the former staffers that said she was harassed on several occasions. >> it's troubling that this is how it is that with on capitol hill and this is taxpayer money. the voters can't learn about the behavior. >> the house ethics committee will investigate. that's look at headlines we're chasing today. >> commuter hell. we've heard it before. it's a reality getting in and out of new york city. whether it's the bus, train, it doesn't matter. they are all bad and getting worse. maybe the various a bright spot in the timing of it running into sandbars not good. hopefully not an indictment on the whole service. what got me as everyone of these political leaders from the mayor to joe, head of nta pointing the finger at others who is in them. it's time for these leaders who make a nice salary living on our dime to take responsibility.

how about some accountability? we put in charge for reason to make the trains run on time and buses get where they're going. it doesn't matter whose fault it is. what matters is commuters
