New at noon, the board of directors at CBS is meeting after a report in the New Yorker described allegations of sexual harassment against chairman and CEO Les [Leslie] Moonves. Ronan Farrow says he spent eight months vetting that story that appeared in the New Yorker Friday that date back to nineteen eighty-five before Les Moonves worked at CBS. After Moonves joined CBS in nineteen ninety-five, another woman claimed he shoved his tongue down her throat during a meeting; a third described him violently kissing her in his office in nineteen ninety-seven. One writer, Dinah -- er, Deena ["Dinah"] Kirgo described to NPR how she believes she lost a television deal when she rejected Moonves' request for a private dinner in the early eighties.

Well that chase started in Beatrice in Monroe County and ended on the General W. K. Wilson Junior Bridge just north of Mobile. Several of our News 5 viewers sent us videos and pictures of the chase. We interviewed one of the witnesses, Kristan Owens, this afternoon (the program appeared to have had a video of a certain being saying, "I didn't see him at first until he got right beside me because he was like, you know, flying. He was on, like, everyone's lane, you know" while appearing to have had some digital graphics involving texts of "UPDATE", "KRISTAN OWENS", and "WITNESSED CHASE" immediately afterwards by this point) Devon Walsh: Now the chase ended over the Mobile River right there over the Dolly Parton Bridge. The truck at that point was without a front tire. It slowed down, slamming into the rail and eventually stopped. The driver, Rico Crosby, jumped over the side of the bridge and died. (the program appeared to have a video of a certain other being saying, "It's estimated about a hundred feet -- perhaps that much about how much he had fallen" while appearing to have had texts of "NEW DEVELOPMENTS", "WILD HIGH SPEED CHASE ACROSS 4 COUNTIES", and "COVERING SOUTHWEST ALABAMA" by this point) Devon Walsh: The official cause of death from the coroner's office: blunt force trauma. Crosby was not struck by any gunfire."))).
