Im worried about holes or gaps. If i can go down that way of this idea of the penetration were seeing sort of equally applied, you know, access to technology is to me a great democratizing force. It is powerful in terms of being a ladder for social and economic mobility. But right now there are really significant discrepancies in the adoption and availability of a lot of these technologies such as broadband in lower income communities. So im concerned about that these communities are often the vulnerable populations. And that theyre often adversely affected by technology transitions.

Relatives are saying that it was a setup. The whole thing was set up to get javan out of the house so he could be shot. He died a few blocks from the middle school where he was a track star. On monday he was supposed to start school at skyline high. Wednesday he would have turned 14. Thats not gonna happen now, obviously. Shootings out here are not unusual and some young folks say its just a tough place to live. Hard times out here, thats all. I just gotta watch over myself and pray to god that i can live another day. Chilling words from a young person. The backdrop on all this is hours before javan was killed, Oakland Police union issued a statement saying that crime is up since the city laid off 80 Police Officers last month to bridge a 40 million deficit.

For the second time in three weeks a frigid coating of cold air is about to pay an unwelcome visit. Tens of millions of americans will feel it. This one will not be as bad as the polar vortex, but with temperatures expected to hit 20 below in fargo, 14 in nashville and 19 in atlanta, it is still going to be 15 or 20 degrees below average for many. We start with lauren casey from wcco. Lauren, what is going on here .

But donald trump today is going to be working to kind of unify the republican party, to also pivot to the general election. Speaking here in florida, which is, of course, a crucial battleground state. And is going to get a little bit of help from Florida Governor rick scott, whos speaking right now just over my shoulder here. Governor scott touting his accomplishments in florida, pointing to the fact that he was elected in 2010 as an outsider, and that the country now, as a whole, needs the same thing and can find that in donald trump. And jeremy, weve already heard some d
