Here are the other headlines from Thursday's show:
NASA makes historic moon landing
A private spacecraft successfully landed on the moon Thursday, marking the first time since NASA's famed Apollo moonwalkers that the U.S. has been back on the lunar surface.
nitial contact with the Odysseus lander was weak, according to officials with the company, Intuitive Machines.
Tension mounted in the company's command center in Houston, as controllers awaited a signal from the spacecraft some 250,000 miles away.
It arrived about 10 minutes later.
More red-light cameras?
New York City wants to dramatically increase the number of red-light cameras across the five boroughs.
There are currently cameras at 150 intersections and officials want to see that number jump to more than 1,300.
The existing cameras issue about 1,900 tickets a day, and while that sounds like a lot - the city says violations have actually dropped 77% since the program started back in 1994.
Eyewitness News reporter Kemberly Richardson has more from the Upper East Side.
