deadly metro accident two weeks ago. this was recorded two and a half weeks before the accident with an operator texting. but metro wasn't made aware of it until recently. the video has riders shaking their heads. it's the you tube video that's causing a major concern with metro riders. >> that is kind of disturbing. >>reporter: in this blurry video the driver is looking down while the train is moving. the video was shot by someone who kaulz himself the pearl necklace. he said he captured the video on june 5th. metro officials confirm it. >> this operator actually committed he was texting? >> that's correct. >>reporter: metro spokesperson says the operator was suspended for five days without pay last week. could this send a bad precedence that if an operator is caught texting once i'll still have my job? >> we believe with the pog we have in place given the fact

this operator was suspended without pay and lost income and we all know how important income is these days, that itself should send a lesson. >>reporter: we asked riders their reaction after watching the video. >> i think he will probably get the message with five days off and no pay. >>reporter: should riders feel safe if an operator has been caught texting? >> we believe and we feel that we have a very safe system. >> that's pretty bad, especially when he has his head down, he's not even looking. >>reporter: texting or any use of your personal cell ten is against metro policy. they say during their investigation they talked with the person who shot the video and metro says the operator reported to work yesterday. they were not able to say how long the operator has been an employee and if he's returned to working on the same blue line. thank you so much. did the punishment fit the

she was there defending herself. she later left in a vehicle, but apparently there is a back and forth dispute with whether or not she -- mr. berry is repeatedly defending himself through his spokesperson saying she is unstable and launching these allegations over the weekend that he was stalking her. since then of course uh-huhs mentioned earlier it's come forward that she was hired -- she has been hired by mr. berry since they were dating back in august. that was over the past few months, here's what his spokesperson had to say about that. >> the fact the contract was awarded to a friend or relative of the former mayor and in this case ms. watts is irrelevant as long as it was awarded properly. and brought value for the money that was paid. this is absolutely the case for the contract between council member berry and the contract between ms. watts. >>reporter: she also said for the record it is not unusual nor

illegal for a council member to award family members or friends if they are qualified. at the time mr. berry believed ms. watts was qualified for the job. since then obviously they have grown apart and this ongoing dispute of her stability and whether or not he was stalking her will be resolved in court on thursday. i think that's when the attorneys are going to decide whether or not they will continue to press charges against mr. berry. thank you. sarah palin says she's not ruling out a run for the presidency. the republican governor spoke with a reporter while she was on a fishing trip in alaska. >> are you ever going to run for president? >> all options will continue to be on the table as they have been for me might entire life. i'm not going to close any door that may be open for me out
