well, are you up and at them under this sunday morning. it may only be 3:00 a.m. in california, but occupy protesters in oakland there are preparing right now for a big rally later today. this, of course, is coming up for a very violent day in the streets. what you are looking at there is a scene in oakland earlier yesterday. protesters threw bottles, metal pipes, even flares, and then you can see how police responded. they fired tear gas and beanbag bullets. some protesters say they were hit by rubber bullets fired by police. we know as many as 200 protesters were arrested, and we

get more on the clashes and the controversy from patty lee of cnn affiliate ktvu there in oakland. >> taer gas and flash bombs filled this plaza where occupy erdz faced off with police. one of multiple clashes in oakland tonight. >> the tear gas is multiple times. all we were doing was marching. nothing. we didn't throw anything. >> occupiers claimed innocence, but our cameras caught protesters pulling rocks, bottles, and bleach bombs. at least two officers were hurt. >> their intent is to commit acts of violence and vandalism and break something that doesn't belong to them. we can disburse orders. they don't disburse. unlawful assembly orders to disburse, and i suspect everyone arrested tonight will be chashlged. >> police spent the night coraling these protesters who had declared their intent to

take over an unused space tonight and turn it into the new center for the movement. >> there are cops on one end. we turned around. there are cops on the other end. there's essentially no way out. >> the plan fizzled around 7:00 when police surrounded the crowd on broadway and 25th and warned of imminent arrests. hundreds of protesters ran towards a nearby ymca to escape. a few made it out the back, but the majority were arrested while ymca members watched. >> the cop said all the protesters, or the occupiers lined up in the front against the wall. >> but the night was far from over. while mass arrests took place at the y, ten blocks away a mall group of protesters met brooklyn city hall. >> our doors were unlocked. people started tipping over stufr and said i left because i didn't think that was right. >> police barricaded the entrance to the building where a crowd was starting to gather. city hall is ground zero for

occupy oakland. >> they burned some of the flags there in the center that they threw trash on the ground, that they broke into one of our electrical boxes, and they turned over the historic model of city hall on the ground floor, and they destroyed the children's art exhibit on recycled art. >> we're going to have our eyes there in a little bit too. we'll keep you posted throughout the day as to what's happening. protesters targeted a prestigious event for dignitaries. these protesters lined up outside the entrance to the alfalfa club dinner. protesters outside were chanting "we are the 99%." there weren't any arrests, but awe couple of people, such as senator joe lieberman got hit by so-called glitter bombs. guests included president obama and former president george h.w. bush.

>> i hereby officially and enthusiastically endorse newt gingrich for president of the united states. >> there you go. herman cain making his choice there at a campaign event in west palm beach last night. that's where the former candidate threw his support behind gingrich. newt gingrich right there behind them. cain said it's been in his heart for a long time. gingrich thanked cain and invited him to head a new committee on -- >> rick santorum has canceled all his campaign events. 3-year-old bell la santorum was admitted to children's hospital in philadelphia last night. the santorums aren't saying why, but we do know that bell la suffers from a genetic defect. only around half of all children with the condition survive the

first week of life. she's 3 years old, and glad, obviously, that she's been able to battle it this far. certainly keeping our thoughts with them today. meanwhile, a couple of new campaign ads airing in florida are drawing some fire. not from the candidates, though. this one from the romney campaign uses clip from a 1997 nbc newscast talking about gingrich's past ethics problems. nbc has asked romney to stop using it, and then former presidential candidate mike hucka beis asking the gingrich campaign to stop airing a new ad that uses parts of huckabee's 2008 commercials. the clock, of course, red cross out on to get in their last shots. cnn political reporter has more for us on what they're doing to get the word out here in the 11th hour. >> the two republican front runners are blitzing the state. romney is visiting naples and pompanno beach. he is also going to visit the

miami area to try to shore up support with hispanics. newt gingrich, meanwhile, is trying to shore up support among conservatives. he is running to romney's right. he is hitting two baptist churches today as he tries to appeal to evangelicals. he is also going to visit the villages' sprawling retirement community near orlando. all of this is unfolding amid a blitz of negative tv ads. the romney campaign is running most of them. they think if they deliver one more knock-out blow against gingrich, that will get them the nomination. gingrich is brushing all that aside. he said yesterday that he is in this race all the way until the convention in tampa this fall. in plantation, florida, peter hamby, cnn. a programming note. we've got you covered. keep it here on cnn for the florida primary. special coverage begins at 6:00 eastern. you know who else is up

early? meteorologist reynolds wolf in our weather center. we've been talking about the high winds in california. >> not only that, but you have the drying conditions, which means we have a real fire threat in that part. fire threats in texas and even into alabama and just a little sliver of florida and also a chance of some scattered snowshowers that we expect for parts of the ohio valley. yeah, it's coming back too, which means delays nationwide. we'll have more on that coming up in just a few moments. >> all righty. good to see you, reynolds. >> good to see you too. >> i want to give you a heads up for some of the stories we're working on today. first of all, the founder of a breast implant firm is under arrest charged with providing faulty implants for as many as 300,000 women around the world. then children were forced to play a game called catch a slave. >> it was a game where slave catchers catch slaves. >> you might be surprised by how

the school has run into this. we'll take you panning for gold and brewery hopping. on the road with reynolds wolf. of course, we can be seeing the highest gas prices of all time. $5 a gallon. you asked a lot of questions about this yesterday. we've got your answers today. for fastidious librarian emily skinner, each day was fueled by thorough preparation for events to come. well somewhere along the way, emily went right on living.

but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial advisor, she had planned for every eventuality. ...which meant she continued to have the means to live on... ...even at the ripe old age of 187. life well planned. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. >> right now i want to show you this the cold waurtsdz of the chesapeake bay. they are braver than i. the annual polar bear plunge. it's this charity event that's sponsored by state police in support of special olympics. look at them go. maybe the fact they had that many gave them a little body warmth. i don't know, reynolds.

really that's the only thing that would make me do it is a charity. >> yeah. pretty much. i mean, you know, it's a wonderful event, i know, it's a great thing. it's a time for togetherness. it's a time for massive discomfort. we're talking about major cold out there. >> they're in and out, you know? >> yes. >> look at them. half of them are going in. half of them are coming out. >> probably more embarrassing for guys. i'm just going to leave it right there. cold water, hey, you have seen the "seinfeld" episode. >> in the words of elaine, i don't know how you walk around with those things, but you go right ahead. >> that's right. a lot of people are not just going to be walking around, but they're going fly around the nation. let's take a look at the list. chicago, detroit, cleveland, and miami. read them and weep. the reason why we're going to see delays plain and simple for parts of the great lakes and into chicago. right there you see scattered snowshowers moving through. some of this come through just as a little bit. you notice the pink there, but then the heavier snowfall farther back to madison and along parts of the i-39, i-90

corridors. we're not talking about heavy precipitation. a line does, but certainly enough to cause back-ups in o'hare. just keep that in mind. a little patience need odd a day like today. the reason why we have this big weathermaker is right there. that frontal boundary that's going to sweep from west to east. you have a lot of cold air right behind it. with it we've seen other installments from minneapolis back to green bay. this will be mainly due to a warm front that will be coming in from the south. a warm front you would think will warm things up. that's on the other side of the frontal boundary like in omaha where it's fairly mild also in kansas city and still has cold air and with the more snowfall will be expected in pictures. the heavy, heavy wind. you're talking wind gusts and about the range -- 74 miles per hour or higher. it meets the criteria. even near jackson hole, wyoming. you have to deal with the strong winds.

you will feel the wind pushing the vehicle a little bit and making that drive also with the wind and very dry conditions. we have, of course, the red flag in the -- it's not just on southern california, but also points east or southeast rather into alabama and parts of georgia. very low humidity, and the breezy conditions. it won't be too strong, but still really the big issue will be the low humidity. plenty of sunshine in the southeast. mix of sun and clouds as we mentioned in parts of the northeast. snow in the great lakes and then still over the great basin. we have an area of high pressure. it's beautiful in salt lake city. 57 in atlanta. 44 in new york and in boston. christi, back to you. >> i have a blast from your past to share with you. you remember this? >> i'm scared. >> fried butter. that's right. fried butter. it's hard to belief you have the two together. let's give this a shot. >> oh, how many fried things.

>> that was quite possibly one of the greatest days of my life. that was absolutely incredible. >> that was the texas state fair. tracy, our photographer who basically made her blood type puddy. it was great. you could basically pop your arm and squeeze and it comes out like toothpaste. good times. delicious. >> that's an image, as all of you are probably at home eating something healthier than that probably. you know, cereal or something. reynolds, i have good news for you. you did not do your body a whole lot of harm possibly that day because fried foods may not be as bad for you as originally thought. >> i knew it. >> dare to dream and sometimes things just happen. you wish upon a star and blamo, there it happens. >> please don't go out and do that again to yourself because i need to give this disclaimer. the british medical journal

studied more than 40,000 people over 11 years when they found fried foods are not linked to heart disease or death only if those foods are fried in olive or sun flower oil. there's a cavat. the head of a now defunct breast implant company is facing charges. what investigators say is wrong with those implants that could affect hundreds of thousands of women around the world. hello, how can i deliver world-class service for you today ? we gave people right off the street a script and had them read it. no, sorry, i can't help you with that. i'm not authorized to access that transaction. that's not in our policy. i will transfer you now. my supervisor is currently not available. would you like to hold ? that department is currently closed. have i helped you with everything you needed ? if your bank doesn't give you knowledgeable customer service 24/7, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. but do you really?

what a story our our in additiona has drummed up this morning for "passport." you have been looking, i know, into this breast plant scandal. it could affect -- i can't believe this. 300,000 women. >> in 65 countries around the world. >> what -- the first thing that

comes to my mind is what is their risk? >> well, it's interesting. in 2010 in france this came to a head because a woman who had this particular breast implant, p.i.p., known as pip, which was substandard silicone. it wasn't medical grade silicone. that's the point. she had a rare form of cancer, and -- the french were making these implants. they can't prove exactly thatt was related, but she did have a rare form of cancer, and that was in 2010, and it formed an investigation, and they found this particular implant ruptures more easily than other implants, so the french government at the end of last year did something completely unprecedented. they said they would pay for the 30,000 french women that had this particular implant that affects, as you said, hundreds of thousands of women in 65 countries. >> impressive for france, no doubt about it, but what about

all these other women? >> all these other women, for example, the british government is saying they have basically said be careful. we're not going to pay unless it's regards some kind of reconstruction, but the british government has definitely issue a warning around these implants. if you asked me earlier about the u.s. -- >> i mean, are there women here at risk? >> no, because this particular company, pip, and you mentioned their founder was arrested on friday, came to the u.s., and they wanted to register their saline implants, and the fda won't register those. they never tried to register these silicone implant. by the way, the same silicone that is used in mattresses. >> what? >> yes. the same silicone is in people's bodies. now, on friday the founder jean claude mass, 72-year-old man who is the founder of the company, was arrested and charged with involuntary injury. again, it's hard to quantify

what it is and if this medical -- this nonmedical grade silicone leaks in the body. it's hard to quantify exactly, but it's scary for hundreds of thousands of women, and as i said to you, in france the government is offering to pay jean claude mass was arrested and charged. >> he is out on $100,000 bail? obviously, we'll keep watching this. thank you for bringing it to our attention because there are decent people watching who have p.i.p. implants and don't realize the injury at this point or the potential injury. thank you for having you. of course, in addition yashgs also want to let you know that some parents -- parents ticked off after learning their children played this game. it's called slave tag. they did this at school. they're enacting slave catchers, basically, chasing down slaves. wait until you hear what the school said and their reaction to this. plus, newt gingrich getting a vote of confidence in florida from herman cain.

here's the big question. you're probably wonder this at home too. should cain's support help sway voters? will it sway you? i'm asking citizen jane politics, patricia murphy, just a few minutes. general mills bi, there's more whole grain than any other ingredient. that's why it's listed first. get more whole grain than any other ingredient... just look for the white check.

participated. >> she would sit at the bench, and the slave catchers would say did she have any slaves? >> sharvia says both her children tell a different story. >> that's how [ bleep ] described the game. >> how? >> that it was a game where slave catchers catch slaves. >> i was shocked. >> reporter: we asked a district spokesperson about the game. according to a statement, the school district looked into concerns regarding four students that participated in a playground activity. the district determined that the activity was student initiate and that allegations regarding the teacher's involvement were unfounded. they say the teacher was participating and telling her and other so-called slaves when to run. >> she was right there on the bench. >> both rivers and lasli say the game was inappropriate and insensitive. >> it is demeaning, dehumanizing, and hurtful. >> we want to know what you think about this story.

>> it's been great to be able to help out aaron jackson and doing some fundraisers. i got to introduce him to people and help raise money and just help his organization really get moving. he is the amazing guy doing all the really hard work and, you know, giving him the cash and just letting him go do what he does best. they have four or five orphanages in haiti, and i also went out when they distributed the deworming medication out in the rural villages and towns. >> you're distributing food, aid, all around the country. so many kids can be, you know, eating their fill, but because they're so filled with worms, they're unable to digest and process that food so it's really just kind of a waste. you deworm a kid, and the worms shoot out within 24 to 48 hours. it's amazing. you see a kid that's highly anemic, not alert at all, and once you deworm them, they come back to life, and that's what's

the most amazing when you see this immediate impact. >> since the hero segment in 2007 we've actually raised enough money with rain's help to deworm every child in haiti, all 3.2 million kids. >> anyone can be a hero. it just takes a little bit of work. >> okay. all right. oh. ah. >> there's one thing i can take away from my experience with cnn heroes is they are incredibly inspiring. they inspire me to step up my game and try to do more to help the world. on my journey across , i've learned that when you ask someone in texas if they want "big" savings on car insurance, it's a bit like asking if they want a big hat...

through this sausage grinder. i know that this sausage grinder is all about. i know that he is going through this sass auj grinder because he cares about the future of the united states of america. >> i just wanted to hear him say sausage grinder one more time. >> we get the picture of what this means. we know it's tough, don't we? patricia murphy, founder and editor of citizen jane politics and contributor for "the daily beast" as well. thanks for being there. >> thanks for having me. will this endorsement spring board newt gingrich in any way? >> well, i'm sure the newt gingrich team says, yes, thank you for the endorsement. where were you a week ago, herman cain? >> the timing question. >> the time issing difficult. not only has herman cain spent the last week saying he is not going to endorse anybody but we the people. he went on stephen colbert's show and came on cnn and said

i'm endorsing we the people. i'm not endorsing a specific candidate. now he is endorsing a specific county, and he is doing it in florida. he is doing it late on a saturday night. it's not helpful for florida's early voters. florida has a strong tradition of early voting. meaning, voters can come in the fest two weeks ahead of time and pick their voters. a lot of floridaians have already voted. herman cain has quite a bit of support in florida. this is where the cain train started. he won the florida straw poll. he is influential in conservative circles. it's too little too late to help newt gingrich in florida. >> what kind of message does it send that he waited so late? did it make people think he was on the fence, and these are desperate times, and he is -- >> it makes me wonder where he was. most voters say this is interesting. thank you, that's helpful. i already voted. i already made up my mind. you want to get when these voters are still undecided and weighing their opings.

i think it's not going to hurt gingrich. he will take any endorsement committee get. he is a great endorsement for the conservative base. it would have been a lot more helpful a week ago, though. >> let's look at the senior voters in florida. who amongst the candidates is making some headway in that demographic specifically. >> there is a real toss-up for these senior voters, and florida is where they have the highest portion of retirees of any other state in the country. about four million. we have not seen the senior vote break one way or another yet significantly. these polls, they're a little more with romney. that's one of the reasons romney is up, but both of these candidates are having big events for seniors. they're going to senior centers. they're not talking a lot about social security reform. they're not talking. they're sort of staying away from the stickiest issues. when they do talk about it, they're saying your benefits are safe. nothing is going to change for you, florida seniors, but they are going after this vote hard. it's nowhere in the country is it more important to get the senior vote than it is in florida. >> what about the latino vote?

>> also crucial. >> it's important in florida between those two. who do you think the candidates are really targeting? who is more important to them? >> florida, you can't live without either one. you have to be doing both at the same time. there are even some latino sisters, 11 million grandmas we heard about in the last debate. these voters -- these candidates can't live without either one. they're gunning hard for both segments, but they have such specific issues. the latino voters are big. a lot of the cuban immigrants are not focused on immigration. they're focused on jobs and the economy. they're going after both of these groups. you cannot do one without the other. you can't win the state without both. >> all righty. my goodness. we'll talk about several things, including those early voters and what all of that means. there's a huge number. we're talking almost half a million. good to have your company here today. >> i want to give you a programming reminder too.

good sunday morning to you. you just feel like you can't catch a break at the gas pump? i know. i feel your pain. we all do. look at the national average. a month ago a gallon of regular unleaded was $3.27. now we're paying an average of 15 cents more per gallon. average price of regular unleaded today, $3.42. josh broke this down for us yesterday, and he is back to answer some of your questions. they just kind of went through the roof, didn't they? everybody wanted to know about the skyrocketing prices. how do you avoid it? >> we have a lot of questions, and we were talking about the predictions that the national average grew more than $4. very soon. like, by this spring. expect it to go even more. we are looking through a bunch of the factors that contributed to this. let's recap quickly. this is a component that affects gas prices. the biggest being crude oil. then you have refining, which is where the oil companies make money, and also marketing where gas stations get paid in taxes. we talked about events in the middle east, and some other

factors that are affecting those prices, and we have a bunch of interesting questions from you. a lot of you asking about opec. how much of it determines your gas prices? let's talk about opec a little bit. it controls the majority of the oil that's traded worldwide. 55%. it obviously has major influence on the market. in fact, we were talking about a bunch of countries now embargoing iranian oil while saudi arabia, the top opec oil supplier told cnn it can make up the difference and make up for any loss of production out of iran. also, a lot of you asking about where the oil that we use in the united states comes from, and just over half of it is domestic. the oil we use, just over half, is domestically supplied. he exports make up more than half. people are buying up what are called these oil futures on the world market that potentially are affecting the supply and, therefore, the prices in order to make a bunch of money. that's always a concern. there was a consumer group that said in october that oil

speculation could add $600 to the average families gas bill for the year. big picture, what analysts look at the factors that are changing gas prices right now, and it could bring in the highest ever prices. there's growing demand in a lot of countries continuing instability in the middle east, questions about iran. christi, those are the biggest factors that analysts point to when they saw watch out for where prices are going. >> you had the map yesterday that showed you where you can get the cheapest gas necessarily, and i always wonder, how accurate is that? really. how accurate? if i go to that gas, is that going to be the price, and is it the cheapest? >> there are a bunch of web sites that we've linked up for you on-line on twitter and the blog, cnn.com/josh. there are all these different web sites that say this is where to find the cheapest gas in your city, and they do their best to do a good job. the problem is they're not always completely up-to-date. you can follow those lunks, and let says know what you think. the other thing that's really helpful is twitter because there are places on twitter and i'll

tweet out some links right now, where people say i just saw this gas for this amount at this corner on this street, and then there are a couple of places on twitter that are calling those. if you are on twitter or even if you're not, there are ways to search, that might help you find the k450e7est gas in your city. >> who would have known that twitter would become what it is. >> it's incredible. >> it's amazing. >> thank you, josh. thank you very much. since we're talking about what we need to buy, how about a new tv before the super bowl, of course, and stay on budget. call order you think? well, we've got five tips that are going to make shopping for it a little easier. you can with green giant frozen vegetables. over twenty delicious varieties have sixty calories or less per serving and are now weight watchers-endorsed. try green giant frozen vegetables with sauce. montgomery and abigail higgins had... ...a tree that bore the most rare and magical fruit. which provided for their every financial need. and then, in one blinding blink of an eye,

♪ i want to be a part of it new york, new york ♪ >> good morning, lady liberty, and all of you waking up in new york city today. it's 7:11, in case you haven't looked at the alarm clock yet. as we say, thank you from cnn headquarters here in atlanta. looked like the sun got up before you did, perhaps. we're glad you're here. >> you know, if you are thinking about buying a tv, i know sometimes it feels like the biggest decision in the world has to be right because it's a lot of money, and you are running out of time if you want a new one for the big game next sunday. earlier i asked hln digital lifestyle expert mario armstrong what to look for when buying that new tv. >> if you are buying a television for the super bowl, you want to really look for a

few things. there are going to be a lot of deals that will be out there. some of these deals will be great. others will be pushing old technology that you may not want to buy. a couple of quick tips. number one, the refresh rate, refresh rate is important for fast action. you're looking for something that has something called 120 hertz or higher. 60 is the lowest. you don't want that if up to have a sports tv. number two, you want to be looking for the right size. bigger is not always better. i know that's hard to defense a lot of people. >> you said it. i didn't. >> it's the truth. a lot of people don't want to sit in a front row of a movie theater. why would you buy an oversized television for your room? measure the distance in terms of feet. multiply that number by seven to ten, and that should give you your minimum to maximum screen size that would be good for that room. number three, sound is so critical. people buy these great tvs, but they're all thin now, and the speakers sound like puny, tiny, itty bitty speakers, and it undz sounds horrible.

invest in something like this, a sound bar. these are surround sound built in one unit that the tv can sit on top of, or you can fit it into your furniture. this is $199 from a company called zbox. the point is invest and research sound. it really makes a big difference for these televisions. then number four would be connecting ports. you're iffing to have a lot of things to connect to your tvs. your cable box, video games, dvd players. you want to make sure that the tvs have enough, and last but not least, research where you are going to buy it stuff. whether it's on-line or in a local store. like the local specialty stores, these are like experts. if you look for some of those in your neighborhood, like in maryland we have one called gramma phone. these are professional tv experts that really know their business. >> what should we buy specifically if we're really on a budget? >> if you are on a budget, we have a couple of tvs for you to look at. number one, there's a sharp television. no frills. huge screen. these things are 60 and 70 inch size screen so i don't know if you have a room for that in your house. these are huge.

no frills. no internet connection. no 3-d on this. that's one. another one is by lg. if you are looking to say stay under $600 for a tv that's still nice, the lg is a good one as well. those two i think are great budget tvs. the real thing with budget is just make sure you're not getting the 60 hertz television. try to get 120 hertz. >> that's good to know. what about for all of us folks who don't have a budget and maybe they want to say, oh, i'm making an investment. i can spend whatever i want. >> well, you know, tvs are that type of thing. you don't really want to turn around in four years and buy another one. for some folks that want to spend it, i like some of the stony and samsung brands that are great. we're showing one that i recommend by sony. it has all the frills. it has 3-d. it has web connectivity. it has the motion blur to take away the 120 hertz and higher. this is a great tv that's going to have all the frills, all the features. it's kind of future proofing yourself even if you're not

ready to use 3-d. it's kind of protecting you so when you are ready, you can have a tv that does it. >> that's my question. should we invest in 3-d? >> that's a tough one, christi. i'm not sold on 3-d right now. i just don't think there's enough programming out there. you still have to wear different glasses. you can't take the glasses over to your friend's house unless it's the same type of television. trz still a lot more to be done. i think the real future of 3-d is when you won't have to wear glasses to watch them. some companies are working on glassless 3-d tvs. >> really? >> if you are looking to make an investment, go ahead. if not, hold off. you won't miss it. >> interesting. what about on-line, in store? which one? >> do your research on-line, but then buy in store. then check those local specialty stores. i think a lot of people just go to the big box, and that's fine. go to those stores as well. i think you'll be surprised that you may be able to price match in some of the specialty seta certified stores. the local shop that is have great experts. >> nice. all right. what's a perfect food?

let's just get to the nitty gritty of it all? >> this is the most important thing. this is the most important thing. food. none. you know, the most important thing is beer. are you kidding me? food? who eats? no. salsa and chips and wings. are you kidding me? salsa, chips, and wing wrshz. >> it's one of the biggest pizza days of the year. >> it is one of the biggest pizza days. they run crazy specials on those pizzas, and that's all right. i get the whole pizza thing. beer and wings, that's the combination right there. that's really it. >> mario will make sure he has his beer next to him, and it may be a little cooler as well. he doesn't have to get up. >> and my ravens helmet. >> you look like darth vader, for heaven's sake. i love it. >> we will win next super bowl. >> i will pulling you. >> go ravens. i bleed purple. see you. >> join us every sunday at this

back into green bay, you have a warm front that's going to be approaching the twin cities and right ahead of that warm front you can expect snowfall behind it. guess what, some warmer air. let's wrap this up. we have the winds still in the northern plains and the central rockies where we have gusts up to 75 miles an hour, and the very dry conditions in southern california. that's going to give us that, again, red flag warning. very low human. the winds topping 45-mile-per-hour gusts. same deal in alabama, and parts of georgia. beautiful conditions in the southeast. plenty of sunshine there. plenty of sun across texas and, again, the great basin. the snowfall continuing through the afternoon in the great lakes. 33 in chicago. 58 in memphis. easy for me to say. 58 in denver. 66 in san francisco. 48 in seattle. some mid 40s in boston and new york. all right. that's the latest, christi. back to you. >> thank you so much. >> you bet. i want to let you know that we're learning new developments today regarding the disappearance of a 20-month-old toddler who disappeared. we'll let you know what police have found this morning that may bring some answers.
