go stood before the press last month hackensack attorney robert gallon too she says he broke the rules i've raised various issues which would suggest that there is a basis for removing him for bias prejudice and prosecutorial misconduct tell truffaut had announced a grand jury investigation into the shooting of philip brunelle biking a police officer gary spat had failed to return an indictment and then he would empower a second grand jury because of faulty medical report a new forensic information had painted the first panel the next day members of the black community reveal details of that new evidence that would seem to incriminate spat information down to she was never revised up he's been meeting with so called organizations briefing them on the conduct of the grand jury has been the same office that still has never officially notified of footage that that it was not built by a substantial majority vote furthermore down to g claims dealt to fall has been
using the media to set the stage for the second grand jury general has seen fit to suggest to the press that he is going to get an insight into that that concerns us because attorney general has an obligation to present the evidence that the grand jury determination architecture earlier this week about two thousand police officers and their families gathered in hackensack to march to rally their support of officer gary snack with their feelings of betrayal by their leader doug to talk that fired the crowd today no one from the attorney general's office would comment on this latest development they say they haven't received the papers here so that they wouldn't comment on litigation anyway go into cheers as for a hearing on this motion as soon as possible a region where new jersey network news new york cruising that all american teenage bass time on a summer night is not welcome in one burning canning town officials and north arlington say that cruising created gridlock
but now they say they've found a solution as trish to gas rose reports fb questions that that never seems to go out of style cruising up and down a certain block to see and be seen for people they'll a north arlington last night closing was definitely down while last week at this time there were thousands out here last night there were dozens if that it's all because of the cruising crackdown they would be able to register themselves things because people along into three miles an hour the plan will convince the us to the point we could go out in the street and waited half an hour fifteen twenty minutes just to pull out a lot of states in jackson's many red became unbearable just recently after a national magazine that north arlington capital of the country it would begin to
look like fort lauderdale north you know what you see in the movies besides the annoyance of gridlock officials worried that emergency vehicles would be a little make it across town they also found that the robbery and assault rates have doubled from last year and pointed the finger at all of the out of town cruisers so the mayor and the police chief decided to get tough for the mayor imposed you anyone under twenty one and be off the streets by ten thirty next police began taking any and every traffic violation they saw i think it's a really good job with their job is really stunning mr towne of the aclu says this is the case he'd like to take on this is an attempt to go after young people it's a fear of young people it's in some cases it's just like you know and disrespect for young people but for now north arlington is renoir worry that mean that north ellington's not number one anymore i was certainly hope that that we have lost that status i would hope that
we are now we're going to be considered a number one of the quiet communities in the us state of majors jersey network news filing and other news tonight from around the state a leading chinese dissident will soon be coming to princeton astrophysicist language or will join the faculty of princeton university for year beginning in january bank and his wife had been granted asylum in the us embassy in beijing the chinese government crackdown on dissidents a year ago three essex county marriage they vowed to do whatever possible to fight census figures they say grossly under count their cities even if it means a lawsuit the mayors of east orange orange and irving can join a growing list of new jersey municipal officials unhappy with a preliminary census data york officials have already announced plans to appeal figures which found the city's population declined by twenty seven percent and when we come back tim van sickle with a look at that in business and in our special segment will talk with us senator bill bradley about the latest developments in the middle east if you see news
happening or shoot it with your home video camera others know about it by dialing new jersey network news tip line at one eight hundred jersey one line on it fb ms bell as we reported earlier this was a day where events in the persian
gulf it home service for mcguire air force base were among those called up by the president on the middle east the american embassy in kuwait has been surrounded by iraqi troops members in the mission are not being allowed to leave the region owning us now to discuss the issues new jersey senior senator bill bradley senator bradley is a member of the senate select committee on intelligence center thank you for joining us this evening my pleasure so the iraqis say they're not letting members of the us away mission leave their country until we pull all of our embassy staff from kuwait should the president remove our ambassador from kuwait no i think that the mistake i think that what we have to do is to continue to isolate the rock and world opinion and to continue to build a strong diplomatic and military response to developments in iraq that flow from that a saddam hussein's aggression i think that you have to read the letter today that were sent by mr gorbachev as a continuing effort to isolate saddam hussein and to indicate that the soviets in the united states in this
matter are cooperating but what should we do if the embassy staffers attack or looked at gunpoint while the president has at his disposal a wide variety of responses we have overwhelming firepower superiority in the region and the president should not rule out the use of that military force one of your colleagues on the intelligence committee senator alfonse d'amato today wrote in the new york times that the us should conduct a preemptive strike against iraqi take out its military capability you share that view what should the president do well i think that the continuing to isolate iraq and build multi lateral support is and pretty much the words of mr gorbachev is in his letter today tightening the noose around the neck of saddam hussein i think that the more that occurs the more likely it is that he will withdraw from kuwait which we've been the result of all of us would like to say the state department today call a tape of saddam hussein with a british
hostages and their children sick beyond expression but doesn't the presence of hostages their tie our hands diplomatically and militarily it makes it more difficult but i agree with the state department here i think that this was said play to attempt to demonstrate that saddam hussein is a man who cares about children but remember this is the same saddam hussein who used chemical warfare on his own people and who sent children out into the fields for destruction so i think he is a ruthless man a maniac you cannot be underestimated because he had a sizeable forces but they and no way can compare to the multilateral force an ability that we now have along with the allies arabs europeans fully stations deployed in the region to have peace in that region doesn't saddam hussein happy go one where the other well i think that is a very difficult and ruthless man and
i know that the president has very clear objectives and that is to have him withdraw from kuwait and to have the rulers installed that we're in kuwait i think that that's a sensible objective perhaps there can be a diplomatic solution but i do not think we can roll out the use of military firepower in this matter senator bill bradley thank you for joining us as we thank you and coming up a rebound for the stock market and are giving new meaning to the term mobile home in bergen county fb and then there's a cold on this now and as you know has very common pointed out that military reservist being called up have the
stage rights when it comes to their mortgages and other debts but they do have to notify their credit is one bank is designed to make it easy for active duty reservists who owe it for loans credit cards mortgages wells fargo bank simply announces its clients automatically have to make any payments until they get back to civilian life and that includes interest payments which laws and dilemmas to fix six percent during active duty the commerce department emphasized today what we all know how slow the nation's economy is not we reaffirm its finding on second quarter gross national product growth economists expect an upward revision to date from the snail's pace one point two percent and hours earlier but no commerce in france earlier report and we do to toe on the edge of recession if indeed you're not already had one new jersey already knows trouble and it at us and that kind of landmark institution the home newsletter says the slowing economy is one of its troubles as it seeks out
and advertising revenues down tough competition in tough times for newark star ledger as well from the media giant gannett which owns one of the competing newspapers a career news there in middlesex county home knows a hundred and eleven years old was founded by the great grandfather the prison publisher william boyd boyd confirms that he is willing to part with a fifty one percent interest in the paper if a buyer comes along to ring in capital productivity keyword of our times and for another victim all these tough times it may be just one of a number of things need to get back and shapes about trump's organization plans to make the gamblers the trump plaza and castle more productive many the gamblers show up with coupons you know coupons and travelling into a kind of well you might call a grand state for mining all them slot machines out there but trouble is that it would be gamblers waste too much time standing in line to cash in their coupons so applause and the castle are testing machines that can read
the coupons like scanners at the grocery store and spread out the requisite corn as i get off the line into action us what they say well we asked the question last night whether we have seen the climax on wall street sure the answer is not yet but for our people looking at the yield suddenly available from a lot of america's premier companies that this may account for a pre weekend rise well the volume shows you there were players on both sides in the breath it's not exactly a landslide our market up a bit too especially nasdaq which has been pounded by market heard tough talk from the white house in a long barn down again you up to nine point one five tonight a kitchen a good weekend coming up maybe some sunshine late in the week and all of the forecast and in sports themed tennis sensation jennifer capriati winter garden state tap the

dollars but there is one small catch it's being sold like an object or say all twenty five hundred pieces of a home built by william halderman nearly seventeen hundreds was dismantled and donated to the bergen county historical society after the owners of the property where it sat decided to make room for driveway it's a combination of a stone house and frame house and it's the last surviving example of a stone and a building from the eighteenth century important county it's billy the original structure was modernize sometime eating hundreds and kept that way up until it was disassembled last winter physicists us recession its status as a variety of early american artifacts were discovered when the house was taken apart many were found behind a fireplace and whether this one things like this for some doll and silverstone historians believe that might've fallen through the proximate overhead storage as small items were being brought them out
for me that somebody tried to stick to a piece of cloth and they're fun and it is a tricky thing to point out since the rulers are losing battles at least sixteen people have shown some interest in buying the structure there is a lot in there to be put together there's no doubt about it but i'm sure you'll want to have a thing out and laid out in the open it looked as complicated the successful bidder will have to follow certain rules set by the historical society the house will have to be placed on property in bergen county and older will be required to maintain the historic appearance of the front pulling the morton new jersey network news river age sounds like the ultimate fixer upper that our reporter in iran where you know from all the sunni jersey never thank you for joining us and good night oh oh
