there is a monster on the loose in this city of atlanta. >> i want to bring in retired atlanta homicidereat to have you with us. this crime in atlanta happened says ago. we have very little information. no official suspect. no motive. only one surveillance photo. does this surprise you at this point? >> the surveillance photos do a little bit. we have cameras all over the city. i think we may get some more footage. they're relying heavily on the public. the people that lived near the park to check their nest cameras. but it's still early. and this is probably one of the most gruesome cases i've seen and i've lived here 30 years. >> to give people a sense of what piedmont park is and where this is. this is a big, popular park. really right in the middle of midtown. right? >> that's right. it's the equivalent of central park in new york. it's our central park. a multiacre park. it's nestled right in midtown atlanta. we have festivals there. people live near the park. thousands of people attend this park every day. >> right, and i think that's important. what do you make of the location of

it's 6-4 atlanta. on the very first pitch that zack littell throws in the game. >> javier: these braves hitters have not been waiting around. a lot of first pitch swinging going on the last few innings. they get it there. soler, we documented his power. this is why they traded for him and brought him over. first pitch heater looking for it and drills it into the seats' gives them a two-run lead. >> dave: man, that hurts. giants, that lead evaporated in a hurry. it at all started at the bottom of the lineup. 8th place hitter pederson drew a walk and heredia, pinch hitter. didn't hit it hard enough but enough to get the base runners on. albies and soler, the big boys did their thing. giants are behind. albies swung at the first pitch. the double that knocked in the first run. soler swung at the first pitch that brought three home. all of those runs scored in a span of two pitches. >> javier: now the braves are setting up their bullpen the way they want it. giants have to do it against luke jackson. >> da

and i said, eric, i'm only going to atlanta. he said, okay, that's south, maybe the airport will be open by then. maybe i can rent a car or whatever. so we drove to atlanta. we left at 1:00 o'clock in the morning. got in at 11:00 at night and glad to be there. i said, eric, there's a train that goes from new york to new orleans and it goes through mississippi. and i can put you on that train in the morning, it leaves about 7:00 or 8:00 o'clock. >> 7:00 in the morning. >> that's good, i can get my wife to pick me up and -- it didn't go through columbus. something like that. so we stayed up and talked a little bit. turned out eric had a crush when he was in high school with one of my wife's best friend who was at the university of alabama with me. anyway. i'm jewish, eric converted to judaism because he liked it, very unusual. anyway, i didn't see eric. we communicated a little bit at first but then eric knew that i was working in dc and i got a call and executive director of the officer's association in dc, we went up there in 20

i know you are requiring masks in atlanta. this pandemic with a message at the state level contradicts your message? >> well, it is the reason that we are so low in vaccinations and transmission is still so high. this is not a political issue. it is not a partisan issue. we are looking at data and metrics, and that's what our decision is based upon. so not only is the government not requiring a mask mandate, he's doubling down on his position that somehow there is something wrong with our mask mandate in the city of atlanta. and this is nothing new. i have been embattled with this governor before. as you recall, he filed a lawsuit against the city of atlanta and me personally when i last instituted a mask mandate. it is my hope that we won't go down that path again. and i would just simply ask that he look at the science. this is about keeping people alive. i have four children. two of whom are not vaccine eligible. one who has severe asthma. so this is a great concern not just for people with underlying health conditions, but

energy poverty in atlanta. atlanta has the third highest rate of energy poverty in the country, u.s. major cities. the same thing is true in los angeles. i am sure you are familiar with that article. i hope that you're taking that into account, though income families need access to libel energy. >> no question. we share that, you and i. we have different rates, huge subsidies and things to federal action, we have utility systems from this pandemic. we took some of our coronavirus relief funds and we put them directly into low income utility systems. finally, we put seller on the homes of low income residents because it is -- it can't be something that you can just afford to do. this has to be by and for all americans. >> at think we are out of time. maybe we will be able to come back and the mayor can answer during another member's time. quite think you two are witnesses. -- >> i represent northwest organ. we know that climate change is not a distance right, it is a reality. last summer, nearly a million acres

we still had another four hours to atlanta.f we had landed in bermuda, they could have still been sitting on the plane for another six hours, where they debate whether or not they're going to let people into the hospitals there. >> alfonsi: so the flight continued to atlanta. but when the plane carrying the sick and exhausted passengers landed at 6:43 in the morning, the doors stayed closed. >> edge: and then we finally hear from the pilot that-- "well, apparently nobody knew we were coming. nobody was prepared." >> alfonsi: does that make any sense? based on the calls you guys are making from the ship? you guys are waving flags, calling the media... >> edge: the atlanta news was there at the airport to meet us. >> reporter: lori, you know, i can't even iginehat it mus have been like to be on that plane. >> alfonsi: so where was the help?

i want to hear that from you, but 1st i'm going to talk about l a and also atlanta. the experiences from those 2 cities here are commenters and at the end of it, please pick up one of the main reasons, the advocates and activists in los angeles, oppose the olympics, is because of the impact that has on the on house community. we have 60000 and house in los angeles, and the last time the olympics came in, the city use that as a reason to displace to criminalize and to remove people from the street. in preparation for the 96 olympics, nearly 9000 atlanteans were taken off the streets and placed in the atlanta city detention center. we know that this was to make atlanta look like it didn't have a homelessness problem. the olympics should be investing, creating long term resources and opportunities for growth inside a post communities, not making existing problems worse. yeah, well unfortunately, to your earlier point about the fine and they went to killing the poor as a activist myself in the on house work that's very necessary here in los angeles, that's kind of hard t

atlanta public schools released a statement to fox news. the statement, aps has made historic investments in this area adopting comprehensive equity policy and creating a center for equity and social justice. they later say using race as a method for assigning students to a classroom is unacceptable. aps does not support or condone this behavior. you know, if they say this is true, then why do it in the classroom? why allow a student -- i'm sorry, a principal to go rogue and implement this in their school district? you know, some of us believe that some of the history left out in the school books and our parents had to teach that correct that it shouldn't just be black history month. put all the history the good, bad and you will. that's not what they're suggests right now. they are saying let's go back in time and split the kids up. kids that love each other by the way. >> i don't even believe them. i mane, you heard sharese ms. posey's lawyer. they are actually looking to get this practice taken care of across the board in atlanta. that t

a mandate in the city of atlanta which extends to atlanta public schools for indoor masking and you canuburbs of cobb county and it is optional for students to have masks in school. the governor in georgia saying he opposes mask mandates and he will not put one in place. despite the mixed messaging today we did see parents and students headed in for the first day of school in metro atlanta wearing masks and feeling relief. many parents say it's been 18 months since children have had real in-person education and to have them socialized in an environment where they have protections in place is a relief. we also spoke to the superintendent who says she feels positive headed into the school year that they have safeguards in place and that the masks are needed. she said one thing that has room for improvement is the vaccination rate among her staff. rate now it's hovering at 58% to 59% in schools and she wants to get that number up as the school year progresses and that is why she's put vaccination offerings in several campuses to get teachers and staff vaccinated to try to get parents who h

so katy beck in atlanta, it is the first day for atlanta public schools, and we should mention that we will talk to the new superintendent of aps coming up next. but all students are required to wear the masks. and what is the reaction of the parents and the students that you been talking to today? >> well, the parents have a relief, because they want to have a safe policy for the children to go to school. by and large, this is the right decision. the parents were at 100% compliance today, and the kids and parents in masks, and then also, offensive gratitude, because the kids have been out of school for 18 month, and to bring them back to reunite with the friends and they feel it is a massive step forward and one they don't mind masking up for. in georgia, it can be mixed because the governor has said they won't put a mandate statewide, and while there is a mask update here, in cobb county, there is not. so atlanta is one of the largest school districts in the country, the students are going back in the classroom with a mask mandate, and the parents here, the ones we have spoken to are
