The Update- October 2nd

The Update with Brandon Julien

People who are overweight or obese should exercise in the evening to manage their blood sugar, new research from Spain finds. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, in our continuing coverage of The Turmoil at City Hall, Mayor Adams delivered his most thorough public defense to date since his indictment on federal bribery charges, insisting the case was a “test” that would not distract him from governing as he deflected specific questions about the investigation for more than an hour.

Elsewhere, a woman associated with MS-13 was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison for her role in luring four young men to be killed by more than a dozen members of the violent transnational gang in the New York City suburbs. And many residents of the Carolinas still lacked running water, cellphone service and electricity as rescuers searched for people unaccounted for after Hurricane Helene caused catastrophic damage across the Southeast and killed at least 166 people. President Joe Biden will survey the devastation in the two states as floodwaters receded and revealed more of the death and destruction left in Helene’s path.
