The Update- May 8th

From New York, the greatest city in the world, and located in Canada's Manitoba province, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! We don't like being the bearer of bad weather news, but mother's day this Sunday is looking like a washout. Sorry!

Some stories talked about on today's show were:

1. The FDNY says six people, including four children, were killed in an early morning blaze in a Harlem apartment building. Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro says they received a call at 1:40 a.m. from a person across the street from the seven-story Fred Samuels Houses on Seventh Avenue near 142 Street reporting the blaze.

2. A witness testified about how she was recruited into a secret sorority that prosecutors say consisted of sex slaves for the former leader of an upstate New York self-help group. The woman told a jury on Tuesday that she was under orders to try to "seduce" Keith Raniere as part of her initiation in 2015.
