5:00 pm
mcdonald's and starbucks around the country. then you have new research from tufts university that shows that dollar stores are the fastest growing food retailers in the country. and there are some serious implications of that because dollar stores don't really sell much healthy food, not much produce or fresh meat. so more cities are restricting their growth, cleveland, birming hall, new orleans, oklahoma city. they have all passed legislation to try to curb the number of dollar stores. >> and meanwhile, we are seeing some big name brands starting to sell secondhand clothing and furniture. what is that all about? >> secondhand clothing and furniture is hot right now, pam. some of the leading brands are july ping into it. j. crew, nordstrom, ikea, lululemon are offering ways to help customers buy and sell secondhand goods. it is being driven by
5:01 pm
millennials trying to be more ecofriendly. >> i think that's great. i was just at a consignment store today. thanks so much. well, the next hour of "cnn newsroom" starts right now. >> we want peace. we want peaceful protests. that's what the family wants. that's what the community wants. >> they have come out in a way that is in conjunction with what the family has asked for. they have been peaceful while they protest, but they are very, very disturbed. >> we're out here today because we believe that no one else should go through what tyre nichols went through. >> they are grateful that the video came out, so now the whole world knows what happened, that he was defenseless, that he was hopeless. >> look at how they dragged him out of the car. there was no human inside of those men.
5:02 pm
>> maybe we do have faith and hope that the system is going to get it right this time. >> i'm pamela brown in washington, and you are in the "cnn newsroom." ♪ >> and we begin this hour in memphis, tennessee, where the very unit that has been blamed for the death of tyre nichols is being shut down. this as the community tries to move on after the release of the video that showed his killing last night. first the outrage. memphis and several other cities saw peaceful protests today. his horrific beating at the hands of five memphis police officers was captured on video and released last night. his death was a few weeks ago. we want to warn you the images you are about to see are deeply troubling. nichols led officers on a foot chase after a traffic stop. a surveillance camera captures
5:03 pm
officers striking, punching and kicking him. >> watch out. watch out. >> mom! mom! >> nichols screams for his mother, who was at home just blocks away. officers continue to hit nichols and use pepper spray. nichols eventually slumps over unconscious. but for 21 minutes, no one on the scene appears to render the aid that could have saved his life. we'll never know. those now former police officers are charged with second-degree murder. and today we learned their special scorpion unit is permanently deactivated. i asked an attorney for tyre nichols family that demanded that deactivation if they now feel like they're being heard. here's what he said. >> his parents, my co-counsel, antonio and i, we saw that that was part of the culture.
5:04 pm
as responsible as those five officers were for killing tyre nichols in that reprehensible conduct we saw on that video, we think this was part of the culture of the scorpion unit. and, so, we demanded that they disband it immediately before we see anything like this happen again. citizens, other citizens, have come to us and said that they also attacked us. there was one young man four or five days before this happened to tyre nichols who said he was simply going to get pizza. he stopped at the stop sign and they pulled him out, used all kind of profane language, threw him on the ground and put a gun to his head. so he tried to report them to the memphis police department twice. never got a call back. and we believe had somebody been attentive that tyre nichols may not have been killed in this
5:05 pm
way. >> right. i mean, watching that video, it's horrifying to see the way they are brutally beating him up and then just standing around as he's suffering there by that car. but the reality is the other officers on the scorpion unit, they are still part of the department. what do you think about that? >> well, i think we need to know if there is a pattern and practice of excessive use of force. i know the department of justice, civil rights division is investigating this killing of tyre nichols. but our hope is that will expand to pattern and practice because many citizens have questioned not just the scorpion unit but the memphis police department and their policing, whether it's bias or not towards black people. >> cnn joins us now from memphis. so this is a pretty significant development here that this unit is being deactivated. >> certainly significant. and you hear ben crump saying
5:06 pm
this is the family's wishes. they came out yesterday, the lawyers in a press conference, demanding that they be disbanded. today the police chief in a statement granting them that wish. it is also community members. we certainly heard from community members here that raised some issues with some of the tactics that this unit was created really to fight crime aggressively, to focus on homicide, to focus on assaults and robberies and theft in the community. and the police chief releasing a statement today saying that she is doing this because she has heard from the family, tyre nichols family, she's heard from community members, she's spoke to the remaining officers who are with this scorpion unit and they all decided together that it was best to try and heal some of the pain and to try and get to the work that now needs to be done to restore the faith that people in this community need to have in the police, that it was just best to disband the unit. but this is a department that's
5:07 pm
about to undergo some heavy criticism, several investigations no doubt. i think ben crump, they're telling me about that doj investigation and he wants a patterns and practice investigation. they may actually get that. you know, if enough community members are raising concerns, this is something that the doj is going to have to focus on. certainly you still have a criminal investigation perhaps into other officers, administrative investigations into other officers. so there is still so much that needs to be uncovered here, pam. >> yeah. i would not be surprised at all if doj opens up a patterns and practices investigation. we'll have to see. thank you so much. and right now we still don't know the specific cause of death for tyre nichols. medical experts tell cnn he probably died from internal injuries from blunt force trauma. cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta has more.
5:08 pm
>> well, it is just horrific to watch, even as a trauma neurosurgeon myself. i have never seen anything quite like that. you often see patients who are brought into the hospital, but you don't see that sort of just horrific beating that he took over those several minutes. when you look at this sort of thing, there is so many different injuries that he could have sustained at the time. i think one of the areas that people paid attention to was all these blows he took to his head and to his face. he was restrained at one point, taking fists to the face and he was being kicked in the face when he was on the ground. what can happen sometimes is that the brain is the one organ in the body that when it's starting to swell, it really has no place to go because it is encased by the skull. every other organ in the body can swell more easily. brain swelling can start to take place and one can start to lapse in and out of consciousness as seemed to be happening with mr.
5:09 pm
nichols. i watched the videos alongside medical examiners from around the country. that was the area they pointed to, was these blows to the head. it is also worth noting that he's a skinny guy, from what we understand. and there were kicks to the body, to the torso, to the chest as well. and any of those organs may have actually sustained damage and started bleeding as well. could have been suffering from internal bleeding at the time that all this was happening. and that brings us to the next point, which i think is critically important. when you look at sort of the time line of what was happening there, it was around 8:33 or so, 8:34 when you see this last kick that he sustains and then he is handcuffed and dragged over to the car. and then it's eight minutes later before we see ems even arrive. but it is not until around 9:02. so 20 minutes after that, 21 minutes after that, almost half an hour in total before you see
5:10 pm
a gurney arrive. so you have a critically ill man lying on the sidewalk, sustained all these injuries. hard to say the extent of the injuries or even how serious they are at that point. obviously, they are serious. but what exactly is the most serious is difficult to ascertain. it is a full half an hour before he's really assessed. you hear at various times it is going to take a while for the ambulance to get there. and that's obviously very problematic. he needed to be in a hospital. whether or not it would have made a difference ultimately, that's hard to say. and we'll get more information, you know, probably over the coming few days as to exactly what caused his death. we don't have a firm cause of death yet from the county medical examiner. but watching that video, looking at that time line, you can really get a sense of what happened to him and what happened to him in the days that follows. >> our thanks to sanjay gupta. joining me now is j.b. first i want to get your
5:11 pm
reaction to the memphis police department permanently deactivating its scorpion unit. >> well, i think it's essential for the family to give them a small bit of closure. but i also believe for the memphis community it's necessary. if you talk to the people in the city of memphis, they all go through accounts of the scorpion community going through their communities and terrorizing them. but i think it is just on surface level because the city's administration as well as the memphis police department has the ability and authority to create the authority just the name and give it another name and call it spider. what we need to be doing in the city of memphis is whole, complete transformational change as it relates to how we handle policing in the city of memphis. >> yeah. you know, chief davis was the one who launched the scorpion unit. you know how five former officers from that unite charged with murder. is there a bigger problem with
5:12 pm
the memphis police department? and is chief davis the right person to fix it? >> well, i would speak to what the problem is. i think if you pay attention to the very first video and toward the end of it after the officer tases mr. tyre nichols while he was on the ground, mr. nichols gets away. but if you pay particular attention to what it said, the officer says when they catch him, i hope they stump him into the ground. i think that is the culture. if we want to make systemic change with policing, we have to address the culture. i think we do that by making complete, comprehensive change as it relates to policing. >> what about the police chief, though? do you think she should keep her job? >> well, i can't speak to that. one reason, she's been here for less than two years. she's come in and attempted to make change. but i think it is time for her to shake things up. she's on the clock. >> we were just interviewing a former nypd detective who said in some places they've now put
5:13 pm
restrictions on police officers when it comes to like low-level like traffic stops. they're no longer involved to be involved in them. we saw how a traffic stop led to the death of tyre nichols. do you think that should happen in the memphis police department? >> absolutely. in the city of memphis, we have a lower level police that have the ability to conduct all traffic stops. they do not have the authority as a normal police officer, but they can and they are capable of conducting traffic stops. we should not have an organized crime unit with technical training that are taught to implement certain strategies during routine traffic stops. it simply should not be the case. the scorpion unit had no business conducting a routine traffic stop. that was very early on in the memphis police department. >> many people were worried about the potential for violence after people had the chance to see that video of tyre nichols death. what do you think about the
5:14 pm
release of the video, how all of this was handled? a lot of people are saying that the way it's been handled, how quickly it has been handled should be the norm moving forward. what do you think? >> absolutely. i believe we, the city of memphis, we have set the standard for how to deal with police misconduct going forward. but in addition to that, it doesn't stop with the way the officers were charged. it doesn't stop with peaceful protests. it stops with comprehensive change throughout the city of memphis. and we, the memphis city council, the ball is in our court. what will we do as it relates to police change going forward? will we get the job done. >> all right. thank you so much for sharing some time with us tonight. >> thank you. what's next for the five memphis police officers now charged in the death of tyre nichols. that's next. plus, the u.s. and allies pledge hundreds of tanks to help ukraine. but could this equipment be too

5:19 pm
earlier this week, the five former memphis police officers fired for their involvement in the arrest of tyre nichols were charged on multiple counts including second-degree murder and kidnapping. second-degree murder in tennessee is considered a class a felony punishable up to 60 years in prison. the criminal charges come about three weeks after nichols was arrested and hospitalized. he later died from his injuries. joining us now is cnn legal analyst and criminal defense lawyer joey jackson. so, joey, that video is so horrific to watch. how do you think the defense should approach this case?
5:20 pm
>> i think they have a significant challenge, pam. good to be with you. i think in analyzing and assessing the case, you are going to look to a few things that would justify the only thing they can say is something like self-defense. but how do you justify self-defense when there is no immediacy of fear, at least it appears to me, i'm not sure about anyone else as to mr. nichols engaging in conduct that you believe as an officer would be deadly or pose a physical threat to you in a serious way. number two, you look to the issue of proportionate of the force. was the conduct he engaged in, did it deserve the nature and level of sustained force that the officer engaged in? so the disproportionally is important. look at to the reasonability of the actual engagement and that's a miss as well. then you look at the failure to
5:21 pm
actually render any type of aid when you have a duty as a law enforcement officer to do that. those issues are going to be examined. not the least of which is the initial encounter when you stop a person and then finally, you know, you get to him and then you pull him out of the car. what happened to license and registration, sir? i'm pulling you over because. and i think it is an uphill battle in assessing how they will approach the case. >> yeah. one of the lawyers for the defendants said, look, my client, you know, may have crossed the line here, but he didn't cross the line like some of the others. what do you make of that? >> so the problem with that, pamela, and everyone deserves their day in court. so to be clear, there are five defendants here and certainly they deserve and our constitution permits and demands due process. each of them are charged individually, right, but they're charged altogether acting in
5:22 pm
concert with the same thing. the problem, however, with everyone is we're looking at them there saying, well, my client only punched him and my client merely kicked him. it was the collective conduct of all of you that led to his d death. and you would have to know that in the event you are attacking someone with everyone engaged in the attack that you substantially contributed to his demise and ultimate death. so i don't think the prosecution, no matter what the defense says, my client only did this, my client only pepper sprayed, i think the prosecution is going to say it was the collective weight of all of you in engaging with him in that way. and you look at the differential with respect to, wait, he's 140 pounds, 6'3", all of these, it appeared to me, i don't have the actual specifics. they were pretty big people. and so i think that the prosecution is going to say that
5:23 pm
the collective activities led all of them to know that he could die as a result of your misconduct, and that's the problem with parsing out the particulars of what each of them did and saying, give me a pass. i only did this. i just don't think that is going to be an effective argument. >> yeah. and also the inaction. there was the action. there was the beating. and then the inaction after when they were just standing around, right, not rendering care. the memphis police department has shut down that scorpion unit. that was a key demand of the family. does that suggest to you that authorities will work with the family to give them justice for tyre's death? >> i really think it does. and i think it suggests even broader than that, pamela, that i really believe that police forces throughout the country will assess the dynamics of the particular unit. we'll see whether they're doing the job appropriately in policing and doing what they need to do in a way that purports for justice in doing the interactions they need to
5:24 pm
engage in. this incident happened in tennessee, but i think it is broad based with respect to the entirety of the country and it provides an effort and an opportunity to re-examine policing and see how it could be better, more effective and certainly more humane. i think disbanding that scorpion unit is the first of many steps that need to be taken in order to become more effective in policing. >> joey jackson, thank you. this just in to cnn. police in baltimore are on the scene of a shooting and what they say are multiple victims. paul sandoval joins us now. what are you learning? >> pamela, as we speak, we are currently waiting to hear from authorities there in baltimore right now. we understand that police there on the ground confirming a shooting that happened earlier this evening, potentially with multiple victims. at least, i'm told, according to courses there on the ground, at least five people confirmed injured in this shooting that took place earlier this evening.
5:25 pm
it was baltimore. baltimore pd confirming that michael harrison, the police commissioner, is there on the ground right now getting briefed by investigators, and we are told that at this moment he's actually offering an update. so we should be learning more. but these are pictures coming from our colleagues at wbff. and you can see what is a very active scene as we can now confirm, according to authorities, that among those injuries, at least one person was injured fatally. one person dead. and additionally, authorities there on the ground also confirming that a small child, six years of age, is currently in critical condition as a result of this shooting. so, again, at least five people who were injured at this point. authorities not confirming if that one individual is confirmed dead is among that number. initially at least one six-year-old that has been injured.
5:26 pm
this is obviously extremely devastating when it's -- when you consider what happened here. but, again, this investigation still in its very early stages. but what we know at this point, according to information that's just in from baltimore police, a shooting taking place in baltimore in the city's west side leaving at least one person dead and a six-year-old critically injured. pamela, we will continue to listen to authorities right now in their briefing and bring you some new information as soon as we get it. >> just so awful. yet another mass shooting in america. paulo sandoval, thank you so much. well, donald trump is back on the campaign trail. what it might mean for the future of the republican party up next. stay with us. and effortlessssly responds to both of you. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep peper night. proven quality sleep. only f from sleep number.

hi, i'm katie, i've lost 110 pounds on golo in just over a year. golo is different than other programs i had been on because i was specifically looking for something that helped with insulin resistance. i had had conversations with my physician indicating that that was probably an issue that i was facing and making it more difficult for me to sustain weight loss. golo has been more sustainable. i can fit it into family life, i can make meals that the whole family will enjoy. it just works in everyday life as a mom.
5:30 pm
donald trump wrapping up his first day pback on the campaign trail.
5:31 pm
the former president worked today to rally support in two key early voting states, new hampshire and south carolina. cnn joining us from columbia, south carolina. trump told supporters today he's all about the future, but he is still clearly dwelling on the election he lost to joe biden two years ago. it seems like he has two messages. >> reporter: yeah. that's right, pam. sort of a split screen moment here talking on the one hand about how his campaign is going to, quote, be about the future. but then on the other hand continuing to bring up the 2020 election. at one point claiming that he performed better in the 2020 election than in 2016. but the former president also had another message for voters today. and republican critics who have been concerned about the slow-moving start of his presidential campaign. he launched his campaign in november, of course. it's been two and a half months and today was the first time he was on the campaign trail.
5:32 pm
he took a moment to respond to those criticisms. take a listen to what he had to say. >> they said he's not doing rallies. he's not campaigning. maybe he's lost that step. i'm more angry now and i'm more committed now than i ever was. >> reporter: former president claiming -- former president trump claiming that he has two years to go until the actual 2024 election is held and that it would be ridiculous for him to start in november with his campaign events. but of course he's the only candidate running right now. and a lot of republicans have been wondering why he hasn't taken advantage of that opportunity and been out on the campaign trial sooner, pam. the former president also saying today that he has a number of supporters in new hampshire and south carolina, two of the earliest primary states. >> thanks so much. so let's discuss with former republican congressman from pennsylvania charlie dent. hi, congressman. what do you make of the slow
5:33 pm
start to the former president's campaign. he says, hey, i got two years. >> yeah. well, he announced his campaign in november as we state and then he went dormant for a couple months. now he's back at it in new hampshire and south carolina. i think what he's trying to do is maybe send signals to his likely opponents that he wants to see which one wants to jump in the pool first. i don't think anyone wants to be first in the pool with donald trump because you know what that's going to be like. i suspect whether it's nikki haley or desantis, they will have to draw a hard contrast against donald trump. they will not beat him by saying you're a really good president. people just don't like you or we don't like the way you are conducting yourself. i don't think that's a winning message at all. these people will have to come at him really hard, very aggressively and explain why trump should be fired before they're hired. so i think that's really the key to this thing, but i don't think
quote
5:34 pm
anybody wants to leave first. these guys will wait a little before they jump in. >> you are so right. although nikki haley called him, a reporter suggested, called him and said she has interests of potentially joining the race. and he told reporters that he told her, follow your heart. come on in, you know, if you want. but when it comes to ron desantis, it is a different story and trump took some swipes on his potential republican challenger there. take a listen. >> ron would not be governor if it wasn't for me. that's okay. number one, he wouldn't have got the nomination. and number two, he wouldn't have beaten his democrat opponent. so then when i hear he might run, you know, i consider that very disloyal. it's not always about loyalty, but for me it is. >> trump's right that ron
5:35 pm
desantis would have never gotten the nomination if not for trump's nomination. probably the most formidable of all the candidates that want to jump in. the reason they're prepared to jump in is because they all smell vulnerability on the part of trump. they realize that he is really a diminishing political figure. still a dangerous one. still has a lot of power in the party. he doesn't have the capacity to win independent and moderate voters. and i think everybody kind of has figured that out. and, you know, except for people in the national and state level at the parties. they haven't quite figured it out yet. these candidates have. and that's why they're ready to jump in. they see blood in the water. but trump wants as many as possible. he knows his chances of winning the nominations are better with a crowded field than with a narrow one. >> yeah, exactly. that is the truth. congressman, thanks so much. good to see you on a saturday
5:36 pm
night. so could ukrainian pilots soon be flying american jets into combat? that's next on "cnn newsroom." c. when covid hit, we had some challelenges like a lot of businesses did.. i heard about the payroll tax refund, it allowed us to keep the amount of people that we needed and the people that have been here taking care of us. see if your business may qualify. go to getrefunds.com. hi, i'm michael, i've lost 70 pounds on golo. i spent thousands on other diets that didn't work. on golo, i spent a couple hundred buc and got back down to my high schl weight.

5:40 pm
the u.s. and its western allies are pledging heavy tanks to ukraine ahead of a potential russian offensive. john kirby laid out the time line on friday. the leopard tanks will probably get there from the germans and european allies and partners will get there in relatively short order, probably in time to help them in the spring and summer. the american tanks, the abrams, will take more time. it will take many months before they can get on the ground. >> joining us now is cnn military analyst. german leopard tanks could be there relatively soon. the abrams tanks can take a while. will they get there too late? >> it really depends, pamela. when you look at the difference,
5:41 pm
first of all, they talked about 321 tanks according to the ukrainian ambassador to france being sent to ukraine, so that's a large number. that is basically what the ukrainians asked for. they asked for 300 to 400 tanks, so they're getting what they need. let's take a look at the german l l leopard tank. good armor. can be used in a lot of different environments, very maneuverable and it has a lot of fire power along with it. but it has less required training time than the abrams tank does. the abrams tank you see right there, that is one that is extremely powerful. it is basically the top of the line armored vehicle that the u.s. uses for these kinds of purposes. highly maneuverable. but it does require a lot of maintenance. >> an adviser to president volodymyr zelenskyy says ukraine is negotiating with western
5:42 pm
allies to access long-range missiles and aircrafts. how would that help change the war? do you see it play out where they get something and say, here's what's next on our wish list? >> there are things they could get. take a look at the system, for example. this is a system that has about 190-mile range and it can really affect longer-range areas, so it is considered a short-range system. but it is long enough that it will, for example, go after crimean targets. if the ukrainians want to go after crimea, this is one thing they would do there. in the fighter jet world, this is an f-16 in this particular case. what it can do is move around very maneuverbly. it is a top of the line ai aircraft. although it is over 50 years old. these aircraft are really the mainstay or have been until recently the mainstay of the u.s. air force. it is a real big part of the
5:43 pm
nato inventory and something they would require a lot of training on anywhere depending on the experience of the pilot, anywhere from three months, that's a real bare minimum, highly unlikely, anywhere to a year or more. so this training pipeline for all these systems will be a very long one and very tough one. >> kim jong-un's sister is weighing in on all this and denouncing the western decision to send tanks to ukraine. she says the people of north korea will always stand with russia, quote, always stand in the same trench as russia. where do you see the war going next? >> so when it comes to the war, that's going to be a really interesting thing. so when you look at what you have here on the main map, you have the possibility of the russians coming in, not only from the east, but also potentially from the south going into these directions. that's what they want to do. so if you go to a more detailed map of the eastern front, for example, the big fighting that you have around soleda r&b
5:44 pm
akmut, that becomes a symbol for what the russians want to do. it is on a main highway that goes this way. and if they can use that highway, that could potentially be a gateway for the russians to move forward into ukrainian-controlled territory. but they're going to, in essence, try to work around a steal mate. the ukrainians are trying to run the clock out and they're trying to make it so they can fight the russians and at the least keep them here. but their real goal is to eliminate the russians from this part right here, this so-called land bridge. that is where the ukrainians want to move in the opposite direction and bring the russians in this way and force them out of the country. >> all right. really interesting. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> you bet. so what can you do to protect your children's mental health while they're glued to social media?
5:45 pm
a surgeon struggles with that, too. and ththat's next. over two h hundred and fifty million dollars to charity. (brent) just tremendously satisfying to knknow that we're doing somethig that's helping other people. every car company wants to sell you a car, but none of them give back like subaru. it immediately feels like somebody's poking directly on the nerve. i recommend sensodyn sensodyne toothpaste goes insidehe tooth d calms the nerve down. and my patents say: “you know doc, it really works."

one of the hardest aspects of parenting today is navigating social media with our kids. it can provide community but also make us feel more isolated and alone and i discussed this with senator murphy and u.s. surgeon general. you talked about this as well in your mental health advisory. you said some good things can come from technology, but also it can be concerning for kids, right, depending on how much time they spend online, social media. tell us about that and what advice do you have for parents? when do you cross the line with
5:50 pm
it? because i think it's really hard for parents that their kids -- you know, schools use technology, right? kids are on social media. they don't want to be left out by being the only kid that's not out there, but we have also seen some harmful effects of it. >> this is one of the most challenges things about parenting in this time. and all of us are parents. i know we have small kids and we're thinking about how to raise them. this is not easy. this is the number one question i get from parents as i travel across the country is is social media hurting my children? here are a few things that are important for us to keep in mind. at the end of the day, social media and technology are tools. they can be used to help. they can also cause harm. they are a great example to people that have found community through their use of social media, especially who have had similar experiences or identity as them in their immediate proximal area.
5:51 pm
but when i talk to kids around the country about social media, they tell me three things consistently. number one, it makes them feel worse about themselves. number two, it often makes them feel worse about their friendships as they see people doing and having all kinds of experiences without them. and third is they can't get off of them, right? because these are designed to help our kids and help all of us and bring us in. >> there is a science behind this, right? like what it does to the brain. >> if you are putting a child against the world's greatest product designers. that's not a fair fight. our kids need help at what we mean which we don't have right now is we need transparency from social media companies as to the impact their platforms are having on kids in which kids are being adversely affected.
5:52 pm
we also need safety standards which we don't have a my house right now the vast majority of products that we buy that i use in order to be sold. as untrue and general social media something after fix. >> is not coincidental doctor murphy and i are probably talking more about this issue of loneliness than others in public life. we both have young kids. >> i do too. i listed this as a prism of my 14-year-old, my 11-year-old. from this idea we send them out into social media, the wild, wild west less regular than any other household product is a choice, it is a decision. we can make a different decision as a country. we could decide to limit the number of young kids that can be on some of the sites. prompts or incentivizes companies to make algorithms are less addictive. none of this is out of our
5:53 pm
control. omit dangerous vehicles on the road we passed laws to make this vehicles less dangerous. we have a dangerous product, not for everybody for some kids, social media. we should make decisions to make a healthier experience. that would make kids feel better about themselves. >> for some social media is not a healthy experience but it does not mean we can't fix it. if you just heard senator talking about that one. provide a more this conversation tomorrow night. we talked a lot this week, his life to be remembered too. cap next who he was, what he loved and how his familyly is remembering him. you get advice like... just stop. go for a run. go for ten run run a marathon. instead, start small with norette, which will lead to somhing big.

(jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real.

elsewhere in a very different way. i do hear from baltimore mayor brandon scott you can clearly hear the frustration and the anger in his voice as he calls this a cowardly act. and calls on the community for somebody to speak up about what happened tonight. >> we are talking about someone dead. a woman shot. a child shot. another child injured. another person shot over what? a lot of folks trying to acting like they are tough but they are weak. because only weak people shoot somebody when you know children are right there. if you are harboring that person that is your man that your cousin you are weak and super we need to step up and be better for ourselves. >> police only saying gun man or men with their money people to speak up they try to find out exactly what happened in an active search for people shot
