The Update- April 8th

From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! After a pretty mild weekend, we're going to crank things up with temps in the 70's today! Developing News leads off, and it's another fire.

Some stories talked about on today's show were:

1. A two-alarm fire on the Upper West Side injured six people. The fire started in the first floor of a Columbus Avenue restaurant just before 7:30 a.m.

2. Jury selection is set to begin for a trial featuring sensational allegations that a cult-like group based in upstate New York turned women into sex slaves who were branded with the initials of its spiritual leader. Potential jurors will be asked to fill out questionnaires today in federal court in Brooklyn.

3. The NYPD is looking for a woman who they say left the scene of a collision that sent a teenage pedestrian hurtling into the street. Video of the collision shows the girl getting lifted off the ground and pushed practically into oncoming traffic.
