for the first time ever in the us, a singapore—style hawker market has opened in midtown manhattan.e food he grew up with, as cooked by his grandmother. that includes dishes such as white beehoon, a rice noodle dish, typically served with clams or prawns or pork in a flavourful stock. hello. yesterday was a day of sunshine and showers. today, it�*s a pretty similar theme, but if anything, i think more in the way of sunshine and fewer in the way of showers. still quite a cluster around first thing on thursday on the tail end of this weather front that�*s sliding off towards the continent, but actually this little finger, a brief finger of high pressure is going to try and settle things down for this thursday. so, there�*s some showers to start the day across the south—west of england and pembrokeshire, gone through the morning, but winds in off the north sea will feed some scattered showers into northern england, the north midlands, perhaps the north of east anglia through the afternoon, a few across scotland, too. but predominantly, i think, dry and sunny and temperatures up a degre

hopefully many of these asylum seekers will be able to by pass that port authority you mentioned in midtown manhattanfood, clothing, legal assistance and temporary housing but emphasis on temporary. they are hoping that these individuals that are getting help, these asylum sukeekers wot be there for more than one to four days. the goal is put them in the city shelter system that is housing roughly 10,000 asylum seekers since april and for those who plan to perhaps travel on. city officials are hoping to facilitate that, as well. that's the focus, the city hoping to get a little wiggle room and some room to handle each case as they come in but those numbers do continue to add up. now, in terms of some of the questions that are coming up right now, the non-profit group here in new york city advocating for migrants since we began to see this influx at the start of the summer, they have concerns about asiylum seeking families with children. they are trying to find out how they plan to address that. again, these humanitarian relief centers expected to open in a few weeks time here in new york city. back t

stuart: i wish we knew how many people return to gyrus -- giant office buildings in midtown manhattan, sixth avenue nowhere near as busy as it used to be, look at that. that is a live shot at sixth avenue. lauren: you know what happens though? i lost my train of thought. i lost my train of thought completely. stuart: you are not old enough to lose your train of thought. stuart: shall i move on? i will move on. are you listening? are you listening? i've got a script so i know what to say, more schools are turning to 4-day weeks because of the teacher shortage, gerri willis is with us. what our parents saying about this? >> reporter: there are parents who don't like this. it increases the responsibly for child care about one study showed parents are largely in favor of it, the idea gaining steam nationwide due to massive teacher shortages, the number of districts instituting of 4-day school week has skyrocketed more than 20% since pre-pandemic levels for the areas hardest hit, rural areas, primarily in the south and midwest, critics fear the ramifications, a report found districts with

here in midtown manhattan, which is the center of a huge workforce, they're trying to put in congestioncing to reduce the amount of transportation, vehicles coming into the city, and that's completely inconsistent with going back to the old get everybody into the office all the time. and a lot of them don't use mass transit. so i think that's a good question that's a really good point i think also, though, the whole balance of power here has shifted. the idea that there's this top-down management that orders the workforce what to do has really been challenged in the pandemic in a way that i never would have dreamt possible i think shrewd managers are going to realize there is room for more flexibility here. just to use a personal example if i'm hibernating, writing a story, i have done all the reporting, i had the ideas i have been to the story meetings, all i'm doing is hibernating and writing, i'm better off at home there are so-called writing rooms in the "times" where people would go in there, close the door, put a do not disturb sign on there, and vanish for the entire day now, the

migrants, again that very first stop, hopefully bypassing the port authority bus station here in midtown manhattan and also these migrants are free to come and go during their stay at the facility. in the coming weeks they expect that to open in the bronx. finally the legal aid society, a group advocating them are raising questions because of the congregate setting but are willing to work with the city as they try to place 10,000 families still relying on the city shelter system. a number that's still glrowing this morning. >>> a welfare scandal involving brett favre in mississippi has taken a dramatic turn this morning. the former director of mississippi's welfare agency pleaded guilty for his part in a multimillion dollar fraud scheme auditors say he and his co-conspirator stole $30 million for personal expenses and projects. favre for his part, one of the former quarterback's texts read, if you were to pay me is there any way the media can kind out where it came from and how much. diane diane gallagher is covering the story and what it now means for favre. >> reporter: john davis, the former di

. >> sandra: the rent discussion here, you walk around a building in midtown manhattan and people whok and live in the city, it's probably the top thing that's you can at thatted about at the water cooler. people's rents continue to go up, despite the struggles to pay for groceries. wall street journal headline reminds me of what douglas said, phil, about the change behavior of the american consumer, buying what you need and not what you want. the wall street journal had this piece, inflation infighting, honey, do we really need those pine nuts? couples are trying to p ut a lid on grocery bills, pointing fingers at each other over coca-cola, chocolate bars, jalapeno potato chips. it's a real thing. change behaviors to adapt to high prices. >> what do you think is going to happen around the christmas holiday? even coal is through the roof. santa claus can't even put coal in the stocking. and you know, i mean, when you talk about the housing issue, the other thing in that report that was bothering me is even if you can afford the rent, can you afford to keep the lights on. we saw the co

the average price of a midtown manhattan home in 1929 in today's dollars is 1.2 million. our housing is expensive to build, there are some efficiency enhancing forms we can implement. we can also implement zoning reforms that will make it easier and less costly to build in areas of high demand. and one thing that we have seen over the years is the growing number of americans who are really focusing on a relatively small number of locations to move to. including seattle, including the west coast, including some parts of the southwest. and sadly, some of those areas, for example in my home state of california, it makes building very expensive. in my testimony, i mentioned that in one project in san francisco, it cost one point $3 million just to renovate an existing small apartment unit, per unit. and when you look at those types of costs, you scratch your head and say, there is going to be a better way. and i think, as technologies advance, and there are opportunities to increase the use of manufactured homes and change from regulatory requirements, i think that we can be
