A new chapter has begun at Twitter…and for half the people who worked there - they will not be part of it. They were let go today...finding out by email that they no longer had a job. Les Trent on the bewilderment amongst Twitter workers, and what it all means for Twitter. And there has been a flood of anti-Semitic activity in recent weeks. Nets star player Kyrie Irving was suspended for posting a link to an anti-Semitic film, the FBI have warned of threats against Jewish synagogues in New Jersey, and there was this ugly message blasted at the stadium after the UGA/Florida game in Jacksonville. Now police say they know who was behind that. Plus, There's been an 11% increase in rapes reported here in New York City…and one of the latest was a young woman getting an early morning run. Another woman who was jogging came to her rescue. She may not have gotten help as quick as she did if not for this good Samaritan. And was she scratching her face with her middle finger? Or making a rude gesture? And if it was the former, why did convicted killer Nikolas Cruz laugh? A gesture caught on courtroom camera by one of the assistant defense attorneys is now under official investigation.

And the crisis in Ukraine escalated dramatically this weekend, with the bombing of a critical bridge to Crimea followed today by what Vladimir Putin says are revenge strikes against at least 11 cities in Ukraine.
