Among them, a 18yearold university of iowa student who apparently froze to Death Outside on campus where the feelslike temperature was minus 51. Heres a live look from the lows this morning. These are the temperatures before you even factor in the windchill. These are the real temperatures. Some images for you in our slide show this afternoon.

Hi, mike. The sun getting low in the sky, you can feel the temperatures drop. We got into the negative Single Digits and remarkable how much better that felt with the sun out. I cant get over the visuals out here. Heres the pier in Lake Michigan. Whatever that structure is, just coated with all of the mist that comes off of the lake because the water on the lake is a little warmer than the atmosphere. Heres the city of big shoulders. The sky line looks so dramatic in light of this. You can see the trees on shore that have also been turned into these ice castles with all of what is going on out here. You can see the people have come out of hibernation as the conditions have eased a little bit. Authorities dont want them to do that. A number of people like firefighters, power crews that have to be out in this. They say that in addition to dealing with people, the weather complicates things enough for them. Heres the power crews. Being out in this weather stresses the crews. Its dangerous for them. So do a piece of the work, go warm up. While theyre warming up, the other crew takes over and does that work until it all gets taken care of. And were anticipating to finally make it up to zero degrees about 8 00 p. M. Today. Bad news is sometime around that or a little before that well start getting snow. Shep . Shepard officials urging people to check in on their elderly neighbors. They are. Theres a very vulnerable population out here, particularly shutin people in indianapolis. We have the folks that work with meals on wheels. Theyre doing double duty, welfare checks on people that cant come out of their houses. Heres what they have to say. A lot of our clients, most of them are home bound. A lot of them dont have family around. So we are doing this service of having that Wellness Check and making sure that theyre okay. And my faith in humanity is a bit restored. You can see what people are doing to help each other out. Theres a tent city outside of the loop in chicago. Someone sprung an anonymous sprung for 70 hotel rooms. So those people could get out of their tents, out of the cold and have a chance to make it through this thing, shep. Shepard mike tobin on the banks. Thank you. Not as cold as chicago here in new york city. But still dangerous with temperatures in Single Digits at some point. Right now the feels like is minus 2. Jacqui heinrich reporting from bryant park in midtown manhattan. High, jacqui. Hi, shep. You dress for the weather. Im prepared in case the windchill kicks up. The fountain here is almost frozen solid. We talked to folks about how they were faring with all of this weather. Im in from chicago. Its warmer than there. I had to buy my new jacket because of the cold. Actually, my old jacket, were going to give it to some homeless person. So were just looking for somebody right now. Western new york got two feet of snow. Lakeeffect snow is bringing another 23 feet today. Thats compounded by the extreme polar vortex with wind gusts up to 45 miles an hour and windchills at minus 25 degrees. Governor cuomo told new yorkers not to test their limits. I know what the new york attitude is, that they can handle anything. And i believe that. And i respect that. But theres no need to test that premise over these past couple days and these next couple days. The governor told nonessential Government Employees to stay home and even enacted a ban on tractor trailers and buses on some highways for safety, shep. Shepard Jacqui Heinrich and that chip on her shoulder. The goal is to keep the First Responders safe, right . Its dangerous for them, too. It is. Emergencies in these kinds of conditions can be extremely dangerous. Take massive fire at a paper middle in new jersey just yesterday. It happened in iconic paper mill. It was im sorry. An iconic paper mill in new jersey. Hundreds of firefighters were bracing windchills at negative 16 degrees. High winds fuelling the fires and embers flying for miles there. 200 workers were inside at the time. They did get out safely. But the plant is covered in ice, escaped in rubble. So for the safety, stay insigned if you can, shep. Shepard thanks, jacqui. Its better today though. Chief meteorologist Rick Reichmuth is on the big wall. Better . Yeah, a little better. Not a whole lot better. Better is better. Overnight, minus 45 in international falls. Actual air temperature, colder than the night before. Chicago got to minus 21. Never hit that minus 27 record of any kind of sort. That said, a little town to the west of chicago, they think got to minus 30. That would have broken the state record. 2 in new york. 5 in boston. Cold wont last that much longer. Up to minus 7 in chicago. Getting better. Still have the windchill everywhere here.

Shepard the venezuelan Opposition Leader, juan guaido, says that Security Forces tried to intimidate his wife and 20monthold daughter at their apartment and that neighbors tried to scare them away by banging pots and pans. Crowds protested in the streets yesterday to call on the disputed president , Nicholas Maduro to step down. Venezuela has sunk deeper in recession under president maduro. Heres what families find when they go shopping. Look at that. Rows and rows of empty shelves. And here you can see people waiting in line to get what food there is. According to reports, more than a third of the countrys population can afford to eat one meal a day. Steve harrigan reporting. Hes live in venezuela in caracas. Steve . Shepard, senior u. S. Officials have warned Nicholas Maduro of venezuela time and time again, do not harm Opposition Leader juan guaido. Do not arrest Opposition Leader juan guaido. Today Nicholas Maduro showed what he thought of those warnings. He sent elite riot police to guaidos home where they found his 20monthold daughter. They were looking for guaidos wife. He returned home. Furious saying that maduro crossed a led line when it comes to the violation of family. Besides the obvious attempts to intimidate guaido, marco rubio added this could be trying to test the waters, to see the reaction, if guaido is in fact arrested despite international support, shepard. Shepard steve, any sign that maduro may step down . So far theres no sign that maduro is going to be stepping down. Hes really trying to show himself on tv over and over again with the military and also in an unusual bit of footage today, asking people to pray for him. Everybody raising their hands and praying for Nicholas Maduro. A lot of dissidents out of venezuela say the u. S. And much of the world might be underestimating maduros clinging to power, that he could last longer than people expect. Heres one. It was like getting fidel castro out of power. May not be enough to get maduro out of power either. Maduro himself showed that he could organize a march as well. Thousands of people out of sea of read including a balloon of hugo chavez. They were out there to defend the national oil company. Maduro says the u. S. Plans to invade venezuela in order to steal Venezuelan Oil and take over venezuelas national oil company. Shepard . Shepard Steve Harrigan reporting live in career venezuela. Shepard and white house Officials Say the next targets are cuba and nicaragua. Theyre called the triaca of tyranny and it will crumble. Lets go to a. B. Stoddard. Whats going on here . I think the report from venezuela shows that Nicholas Maduro is more defiant than we had hoped, and he could as the experts are saying be dug in for a while with enough of the military supporting him. These provocations like the one with guaido that could really lead to something more violent. U. S. Diplomatic havent been involved yet. So this idea that the wall street journal is reporting that the administration has this very broad, very ambitious risky plans for toppling government in nicaragua and cuba where you expert said sanctioning has not driven these people from office in the past. Decades of our efforts to help transition to cuba to democracy have failed. So it seems until venezuela is more stable, which could be a huge effort and again a violent one and will require huge coalition refugees between 2. 5 and 3 Million People have fled from venezuela there throughout latin america. Its a huge strain on many different countries. The island that we can take on this threecountry strategy at the same time could lead i think to a backfire where iran and russia and the chinese become more fowlerful in those places than they are now. Shepard theres a red line of sorts regarding the arresting of the Opposition Leader there, guaido. Is there a concern in washington and what might happen if some of these redline matters happen . Yes. Look, we have a bad recent history with red lines. So its hard to stay committed if we dont know, as i said, how long this will last, how violent it can become and what kind of resources well put in there. We have a shaky relationship right now with adversaries in terms of commitment to our word and promises but with our allies as well. Were trying to leave syria with a coalition of 70 countries fighting on behalf of the same goal. So this idea that were going into a very volatile situation with these big plans and red lines that were announcing with people speculating that we might be in it for thousands of troops and some kind of invasive, you know, you know, is really risky and completes a lot of unintended consequences. But the idea that maduro has this played hand guaido could lead him to targeting the embassy and the personnel and drags us to something more dangerous. It doesnt seem like its a pragmatic strategy for the administration to have aggressive plans of venezuela let alone can yuba and nicaragu shepard thanks, a. B. Rams or patriots . I can never go against the patriots. Shepard thanks, a. B. See you. Bye, shep. Shepard all it takes is laptop and computer skills and the person can create a doctored video of you that looks like the real deal. Some serious concerns. Well show you as lawmakers try to crack down on deep fakes. Thats next. As a fitness junkie, i customize everything bike, wheels, saddle. Thats why i switched to liberty mutual. They customized my insurance, so i only pay for what i need. I insured my car, and my bike. My calves are custom too, but i cant insure those. Which is a crying shame. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. dealing with Psoriatic Arthritis pain was so frustrating. My skin. It was embarrassing. My joints. They hurt. The pain and swelling. The tenderness. The psoriasis. Tina i had to find something that worked on all of this. I found cosentyx. Now, watch me. Real people with active Psoriatic Arthritis are getting real relief with cosentyx. Its a different kind of targeted biologic. Cosentyx treats more than just the joint pain of Psoriatic Arthritis. It even helps stop further joint damage. Dont use if youre allergic to cosentyx. Before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. An increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. Tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms. If your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if youve had a vaccine or plan to. Serious allergic reactions may occur. I got real relief. I got clearer skin and feel better.

Youll see what a fair price is and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. Now youre even smarter. This is truecar. Shepard lawmakers are trying to crack down on new types of doctored videos that make it look and sound like people are looking and saying things, which they are not at all. They call them deep fakes. Analysts say they could have real consequences. Take this. Researchers at the university of washington put together with comments from president obama. On the left, the real remarks after the pulse nightclub shooting. On the right, the doctored results of that audio on top of a different address. I visited with the families of many of the victims thursday. One thing i told them, theyre not alone. Shepard thats one example. Analysts say theres potential for these deep fakes to go a lot further. Trace gallagher reporting live in the west coast news hub. Trace . Shep, the technology showing people doing what they never did and saying what they never said has been around for decades but its rudimentary. Like john wayne in a super bowl commercial. And this scene in forest gump. How does it feel to be an allamerican . I got to pee. I believe he said he had to pee. Yeah, 25 years later, deep Fake Technology is exceptional. If you have enough video of an individual, a Computer Program using an algorithm can mimic that persons voice and facial expressions and because the technology is widely available, its raising bigtime concerns especially with the 2020 election coming and the consequences of spreading false information more severe than e
