york times makes a good point if if all of the homeless children of new york city were to go into madison square garden which is a huge stadium in manhattan as many as over forty eight hundred children would be left without a seat so imagine that is pretty staggering number that's that's really really scary to think about actually want to see could you talk a little bit more about what is really thought to be behind these numbers what is behind this rapid increase in homelessness specifically for families. well i mean what we have is a continuation of increasing home prices of course with very low incomes and it's a widening gap and experts are saying this is likely to continue so because housing prices are going up and so many people are still unable to find work what we have is the situation where as many as fifty two thousand people are in shelters every night in new york city and it's twelve thousand people and families twelve thousand families and those families have children and the sad part really is that the children are the people the ones we don't see you don't know they are the

. >>> new details coming in on that deadly train derailment in new york city, as we have been reporting here at fox news. authorities say four passengers have been killed in that early morning train derailment that happened in the bronx, new york, right next to the spuyten duyvel station in the southern part of the bronx. happening this morning, dozens more have been injured. you're looking at the aerial video of the scene. we're told four train cars of the train flew off the track as it was going into the curve. that was just a few hundred yards from the station. the train from poughkeepsie going south to new york city this morning. hello, everyone. i'm eric shawn. welcome to america's news headquarters on this sunday. >> i'm jamie colby. there are numerous emergency crews on the scene. we'll stay on the story and let you know if the numbers change. the map will show you exactly where the crash happened. for those of you who don't live in new york, it's in the bronx. basically, it was about to pull into the station, a time where you would expect the train to be slowing down. instead, i

we'll go into new york here. you can see manhattan pop up on the map and here is the hudson river and then spuyten duyvil up the hudson river and where it meets harlem river is the curve we've been talking about that the train has been going around and has a reputation for often times being a very perilous curve as those trains come around at high speeds and train itself we've seen those train cars kind of dotted along here where the train tipped over. we were talking about the divers that were in the water potentially looking for some victims. the water temperature there was right around 43 degrees. it takes about 30 to 60 minutes in water of that temperature for your body to start to break down and for you to lose your coordination and then after that about an hour or two hours before it is potentially lethal to be in water that temperature. the air temperature at the time of the incident was right around 38 degrees so it was definitely on the cool side in the area of the accident. in fact, 34 degrees at the ti

i wouldn't be surprised a year from now, new york being new york, with a crisis a day, new challenges always on the plate that a year from now, we won't even be talking that much about stop and frisk. >> i don't think scaling back stop and frisk will lead to more crime? >> i think you have to be careful. extremist thinking in either direction, eliminating stop and frisk is not going to work. but, also, making it a numbers game, that was also a bad idea. you have to leave open the possibility you will do more of it in some places, a lot less of it generally but there is no science to it. one things that got irresponsibly sold is that a certain amount of stops and frifshingz would make the city safer and if you doubled that, the city would somehow be twice as safe. that was bizarre and should never have been put out there. >> you mentioned the counter terrorism formed after september 11th. some arguments, it's very successful especially since there has not been a major terror attack in new york city since then. what needs to happen with that unit? >> that unit needs to significantly sca

the new york governor is speaking right now about the deadly train derailment outside of the new york city. >> safety is job one and any lessons we can learn from this tragedy is what we want t want w and that is the purpose 69 ntsb's investigation o on site. >> once the ntsb is finished with their investigation, then the site will be turned over to the mta to commence repair work. therthere is a crane that is non route that will right the trains that will be part of the investigation and part of the review of the site. but only once the ntsb is finished with the investigation can the mt affiliata seriously o fix the tracks. the mta will update people periodically as to what the schedule will be for for the rs and the return of service i think it's fair to say that tomorrow people there us peoples line should plan on a long commute or using the harlem line. mta.info is where you can go for the most recent information on service. i want to thanks all of the first responders who have been heroic all day long. new york city police department and the fire department, the mta and the amtra

the new york times. it is getting his courage back but it did hold a story that is similar to snowden's for a year. for which james rise and finally got the pulitzer prize it was all about the wiretapping done by the n.s.a. and one doesn't like to see those things happen because you're but you buy out of the pressure of the times and you have to think about press freedom as something that's goes on a straight line and that doesn't when we get in bad times for the nation name we now you know goes down it should be it should be the same all the all the time. where do you were do we draw the line in terms of. what can be released i mean chelsea manning did a huge data dump the most famous part was that video clip and one could argue maybe the video clip of the u.s. chopper pilots killing the the reuters journalists and the other locals would have been enough you know but it was a huge data dump snowden has released large amounts to wiki leaks released recently releasing large amounts you talked about sort o

we had one of the best ones in here and i'm talking from new york city here in new york state and what did that what does it do it means when there is a source for a story a reporter doesn't want to disclose the reporter doesn't have to do disclose it and that's pretty much the rule in the states but in the federal courts you know we have state courts we have federal courts. in the federal courts there is no such statute i think there should be one. there was a pretty good pie the way hang around before obama came in and he messed it up by putting in national security exception in it and i think we will have some point on that it may not be tomorrow. i've. created a distinction perhaps only in my own mind to get your take on it between journalists and acts of journalism it seems that if you're trying to craft a shield law or anything that has to do with journalism and you end up trying to define who is a journalist and this is what dianne feinstein has been trying to do in my view you you are dancing all over and around to maybe right through the first amendment saying well this person

new york times published snowden write. the government directly go in and punish the new york times for doing it after publication but you know i don't think it's going to happen and when it does happen. it's going to be a real constitutional battle but i think the press will probably win well and that's that's i'm curious how you think the the your case the new york times case pentagon papers case how that has changed american journalism over the last forty years and is there a straight line or even a. this squiggly line between that and we can leaks and and what snowden did with you know working with glenn greenwald and the guardian in those releases. you know what all glenn greenwald we all know he's the former blogger to whom snowden leaked right i mean he's the sort of the modern day new york times in a way so what is there a straight line between the pentagon papers case and what happens today i think the straight line goes like this that if you're going to publish something like the snowden leaks. you'll probably go

york and get it out of new york how do they come they got back to the america's? >> guest: here's the dramatic part. they are able to listen. people talk loud. you might say hello what's going on upstairs? we saw you leaving heading north. where are you going? great. and they would go upstairs and have a letter and go to his other location and he would do it after the beginning and end visible ink and it was very precious stuff that he invented or brought to the states. >> host: let's talk about that. how did it work? >> guest: i write -- imagine writing and not speaking about to see the letters that you wrote. it's confusing. >> host: so it vanishes. you are writing all this stuff down and you put it inside a book. that means you go up to 76 in the book and the page might be blank. that is a message to washington or woodhall if he wanted to bring it to life, that would be good to page 76 and that is where you will find the invisible ink. i don't know if you want me to jump ahead but they got even more sophisticated after. they said what if someone that e figures

the reserve bank of new york. you also got competition among the reserve banks. in 1931 the federal reserve bank of new york started losing gold because britain had just left the gold standard. and whereas the federal reserve bank of chicago had access gold reserves so it offered to swap from gold with the federal bank of chicago and the federal reserve bank of chicago turned them down because they wanted to hang on to gold just in case there was a run on the federal reserve bank on their federal reserve. so these constitutions acted in uncoordinated and often competitive way. the third problem in the 1930s was the gold standard. at the time, countries and the whole financial system relied -- the fundamental reserve asset was gold. so under the federal reserve act, federal reserve banks had to hold 40% of their liabilities in the form of gold. the remainder they could hold in the form of commercial paper. interestingly enough, they weren't allowed to hold government bonds as an asset against their liabilities beca

when giuliani was mayor, he was admired further away you got from new york than new york itself. then he became a hero in 9/11. but the crime rate began to go down under the administration and people were worried about giuliani. and a lot of people were worrying, what was going to happen after giuliani was gone. >> then crime continued to drop and dropped even further. now new york is even at its early 1960's rates of crimes where people my age remember when there were little kids, and the way we looked at the street then. it's a remarkable change. david, roberta brought up the roaring economy of the 90's. and the mayor's two firms coincided with those sometimes. did that help shape the way people felt about him now that he's about to leave city hall? >> it did, indeed. he said in his farewell speech that he said he couldn't believe that he had the fortune of being mayor of boston during it's best decades. we have strong hospitals, universities, and you can't underrate the value of those things. i also think that business is revaluing the city. in this information economy. the de
