For women aspiring to report on sports, it's been a tough slog to get respect. Now 20% of sports reporters are women…which is tremendous. However, the admission from one former sideline reporter is infuriating everyone who cares about accuracy and ethics. Charissa Thompson - who was on the air for last night’s Bengals / Ravens game - admitted in a recent podcast that she has made up quotes from coaches she never spoke too. And the arrest so hilarious, you'd think it was a movie script. A suspect trying to outrun the cops ends up on a golf course…and decides a good place to hide is a port-a-potty. And a golfer decides it's a good idea to topple the toilet and trap the guy inside. Plus, more heartbreaking details about the ferry boat that took on water and nearly sank in the Bahamas, killing a 75-year-old grandmother. It turns out, she'd paid for her entire family to take the cruise to the Bahamas. Les Trent spoke with her heartbroken granddaughter. And heroes can be found everywhere. This one was behind-the-wheel of a truck when a woman who was choking approached. As Ann Mercogliano reports, he's now being called an angel.

Tragedy on board a double-decker tourist ferry in the Bahamas when the vessel took on water in rough seas and started sinking. One American was killed. Some eyewitnesses say as things got worse, many passengers were left to fend for themselves and jump overboard. And they're like porch pirates...only they don't wait for the packages to get to the porch. Around the country, there has been an increase in brazen thieves targeting FedEx, UPS, and Amazon trucks. Plus, it was a beautiful wedding at the base of a national landmark in Utah, but now the newlyweds are now being called litterbugs. Megan Alexander says it’s alleged that the trash from their big day was not cleaned up.

Cops with guns drawn kicked in the door of an apartment. However, there was one big problem – they were at the wrong address! Inside was a woman getting ready to take a bath, and as Ann Mercogliano reports, saying she was shaken up is an understatement. And we've told you about lots of unruly passengers on planes, but this is a new one: a woman almost getting thrown off for singing! A flight attendant telling a gospel singer to stop the music has ignited a debate – was she entertaining fellow passengers – or just being rude? Plus, a grisly murder in Los Angeles: a dismembered torso of a woman found in a dumpster. Her husband is under arrest, charged not only with her murder but also that of her parents. It's sending out shockwaves because the suspect's dad is very well known in Hollywood. And Thanksgiving is almost here and while the price of turkeys has come down after last year's spike – all those sides are going to cost you this holiday.

A scare involving President Joe Biden's eldest grandchild. Naomi Biden, who famously got married on the White House lawn, was under Secret Service protection last night when an agent opened fire on three suspects trying to break into a government SUV. Now, there are questions about whether the shooting was justified. And at just three years old, she's the youngest of the American hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza. Her parents were slaughtered on the very first day of the conflict. Now, President Biden is stepping in to help bring little Abigail home. Plus, last time we brought you our exclusive interview with the woman dubbed 'crazy plane lady' after she had a meltdown claiming a fellow passenger wasn't real. Well, now Steven Fabian joins her as she goes back in the air. And she's the talented college student who was shot dead – for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Of all the many plane meltdowns, hers is perhaps the most infamous. She became known as the “Crazy Plane Lady” after marching down the aisle and accusing a fellow passenger of not being real. Though the moment went viral and sparked spoofs and memes all over social media, it sure looked like she was having some sort of crisis. So what was going on? In an inside edition exclusive she tells her side of the story to Steven Fabian. And, she showed off her baby bump when she hosted Saturday Night Live. Now TV personality Keke Palmer is coming forward to say she’s a victim of domestic violence. Palmer is sharing disturbing photos she says show the father of her child lunging for her neck and throwing her over a couch. Plus, today the nation is observing Veteran’s Day, the perfect time to hail the hero in this next story. Cops say a pregnant woman was being car jacked at a Starbucks.

Where there is genuine excitement over the news that the actors strike is over. The strike, the longest in the Screen Actors Guild's history, was resolved late yesterday and today performers are getting ready to get back to work. And graphic footage depicting Hamas attacking Israel was shown at a screening last night organized by Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot. But things got ugly as a fight broke out spilling onto the street. Ironically, the screening was held at the Museum of Tolerance. Plus, at times it was downright ugly during last night's republican debate. Nikki Haley got really mad when one of the candidates brought up her daughter. She immediately hit back calling him scum. And today she's doubling down. And, social media lit up with concerns for Wynnona Judd after she seemed off during her performance. Even leaning on another singer for support.

She was the final – and perhaps most reluctant – witness called by the prosecution in the business fraud case against Donald Trump. Ivanka Trump tried everything to avoid testifying against her father and brothers, even claiming she had childcare issues. Ann Mercogliano was at the courthouse as she finally took the stand. And still no arrests in the wake of the death of a pro-Israel protester during a political rally. That investigation is ongoing, but the incident has put the spotlight on megaphones... and whether everyone intends to use them just to amplify one's voice. Plus, a stunning accusation against American Airlines. A mother is suing the carrier saying her two boys, traveling as unaccompanied minors, were held overnight in a room locked like a jail cell – with no food or water. American Airlines tells us the safety of minors traveling alone is their top priority. They also say they have directly been in touch with the mom while they investigate what happened. And some people wear their hearts on their sleeves, but this young lady wears her heart outside of her chest... literally. At age 14, she's still beating the odds.

Today marks the one-month anniversary of the war in the Middle East. And now the conflict has claimed a life on our shores. An elderly man died after he fell and hit his head when competing rallies between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian groups got physical. Eyewitnesses say the man was hit by a megaphone. As Jim Moret reports, authorities are asking for any videos to determine exactly what happened. And right now, it seems the world is an especially tumultuous place.

Matthew Perry's Friends co-stars said their final farewell at a funeral in such privacy that no one knew about it until it was over. And tensions over the war in the Middle East boiled over to the NFL this weekend when an American-Israeli flag was taken down from a luxury suite at the Philadelphia Eagles game. The prominent businessman who apparently put it up was ejected from the game. Plus, recent national poll found that 2 out of 3 Americans take their shoes off when they come into their home. The rest of America might start doing that too when they see this next report. Lisa Guerrero got samples from random people's shoes, and what she found can truly make you sick.

This weekend is a big one for runners, as the New York City Marathon takes place on Sunday. While officials say there are no credible threats, pro-Palestine demonstrators have posted specific plans on social media to show up at certain spots along the route, and as Steven Fabian reports, that's got some folks on edge. And you would like to think that a man who's been jailed three times for kidnapping women would never be allowed out to attack again…you would be wrong. This woman was kidnapped and beaten, cops say, by a man who did multiple jail stints for the very same thing. And she's lucky to be alive. Ann Mercogliano with a report that we warn may be intense for younger viewers. Plus, it’s a scare on a plane...as a backpack belonging to a former American Idol contestant went up in flames. Fortunately, the plane was still on the ground when it happened. Les Trent on what the airline says was in the bag that caused all the problems.

The United States is officially urging Israel to pause it bombing of Gaza to allow hostages to be released and for humanitarian aid to be delivered to besieged residents, as the death toll there grows. Meantime here at home, tensions sparked by the war are reaching the boiling point, particularly on college campuses like Harvard, where Steven Fabian reports one student was mobbed by demonstrators. And imagine how terrified you would be if you saw a strange man on your security camera with a huge gun. Now imagine seeing that and being a 14-year-old girl home alone with your little sister. Jim Moret on how that teen - and her dog - are now being called heroes. Plus, it is one of the most bizarre motives for murder we've ever heard. Prosecutors say a man killed his wife…because she wouldn't appear on a reality TV show. The show was called Zombie House Flipping and an alleged disagreement about being on it ended in murder. And if you've been watching The Golden bachelor, then you know Gerry has narrowed the field down to just three women. The show, about love later in life, has turned out to be a hit - and no surprise, there's now talk of a “golden bachelorette".

It will be weeks before the final toxicology report is completed on Matthew Perry. However, we do know he was taking a drug to help battle his opioid addiction, and one of the warnings is to avoid hot tubs. Jim Moret looks into whether that might have been a lethal combination. And in the Middle East, the first foreigners able to leave Gaza crossed over the border into Egypt today. Their exit comes just as ground battles between Israel and Hamas are intensifying. Phone service is once again out, and hospitals are reportedly running out of fuel. Meantime, as Steven Fabian reports, here at home a worrisome rise in antisemitism is finding some Hollywood stars and business leaders beefing up their security. Plus, getting outdoors is a great way to spend some time off, but it's important to remember that we humans are visitors to the animals' habitat. One angry critter got that message across in a devastating way for one woman. And the mood on the actors' picket line was more upbeat today with word that an end may be in sight. As Lisa Guerrero reports, that's great news for strikers and TV viewers.

First responders say the assistant lifted his head from the water. When firefighters arrived minutes later and took Perry out of the water, he was already gone. And in a recent interview, Matthew Perry said he wasn't afraid of love anymore. In the past, he had dated a string of famous ladies, but things always went south.

After almost three weeks, and much mockery, there's finally a new Speaker of the House. Today, Louisiana state representative Mike Johnson got enough votes to be sworn in, but things were ugly right up to the end. During a press conference, a reporter asked Johnson about his role in seeking to overturn the 2020 election and got quite a reaction. And it was just a few days ago the head of the FBI warned of the possibility of criminal activity in this country linked to the unrest in the Middle East, and it appears to have happened.
