a democratic official countered no progressive was made, it all comes as real life consequences are escalating across the country. >> reporter: this morning the shutdown showdown deepening despite a series of weekend meetings still deadlocked over the president's demand for $5 billion over the president's border wall. >> schumer and nancy pelosi and myself can solve this in a few minutes if they want to. if they don't want to it will go on for a long time. there won't bend here. >> reporter: the president now bending on one aspect now saying the wall doesn't have to be concrete. >> beautiful concrete going up. >> they don't like concrete, we'll give them steel. steel is fine. >> reporter: democrats insist funding for a border wall is a non-starter regardless what it's called or made of. >> a wall is an immorality, not

as they shut down roles, the tsa has the beginning of what's called the blue flu and calling in sick and concerned they will not get paid as the government remains closed. tom, what's the impact going on there? >> reporter: so far, minimal impact across the country. both the tsa and unions say they have seen an uptick in tsa officers calling out sick, it started over the holidays and some upset about the fact they're working without a paycheck in theory but an uptick in the flu. if they don't get paid according to tsa and union, you could see longer tsa no shows and that could mean longer security lines. on the front lines of aviation security, 51,000 tsa employees. the average pay, roughly $30,000 a year. >> empty pockets of all personal

effects. >> reporter: if the government remains partially shut down no one at tsa will get paid this week. >> we are a paycheck to paycheck family. >> reporter: brian turner has been an officer six years, now hoping president trump and congress come to an agreement within 10 days. >> we have mortgage payments, car payments, credit card bills and utilities and we also have childcare. with half of our income gone, it's very concerning. >> reporter: so far, tsa officers have not missed a paycheck. the tsa's union said some officers have already called out sick in protest. at dfw in dallas and jfk in new york, they report minimal impact and say longer lines were not unusual for the weekend after the holidays. >> if you don't have a check that will come in to pay your bills, what are you going to do? you will look for something outside what you're doing now.

>> reporter: for now, the tsa says security effectiveness will not be compromised and performance standards will not change. wait times may be affected depending on the number of call-outs. but many passengers say government employees should not be pawns in a washington power struggle. >> a lot of people can't go that long without a check. snow especially when you don't know if you're going to be compensated for the work you're doing, you could be jobless next week. >> reporter: the questions many tsa officers are asking now, will they soon need food stamps or have to look for another job. >> i have to keep food in the kitchen. i will have to make that call at some point. >> tsa says it's grateful to the employees showing up despite all this drama in washington and uncertainty going forward. we also checked with the faa about air traffic controllers, they, in theory, would also be working without a paycheck. their next paycheck is on the 15th. the faa says so far it has no reports of significant numbers

of traffic controllers calling out sick. >> we'll see how this plays out. this morning, a surprising twist in the shooting death of a 7-year-old texas girl. two suspects have been taken into custody. it happened over the weekend after the investigation took an unexpected turn. abe gutierrez is in houston. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. one of the two suspects is due here in court later today. the investigators nosay this shooting was not a hate crime but rather a case of mistaken identity. this morning, the manhunt for jazz jazz -- jazmine barnes killer. eric black junior is now charged with capital murder. prosecutors say he admitted to driving a dark colored suv when

his passenger opened fire on the car jazmine was in, by mistake, thinking it belonged to somebody else. authorities say the pair didn't realize they targeted the wrong vehicle until they saw it in the news. he may already be in custody although not charged yet. citing law enforcement sources identify him as larry woodruff arrested on an related drug charge. >> she did not deserve this at all. >> reporter: jazmine's mother was shot in the arm but survived. she had believed the shooting was racially motivated. the sheriff now says, it wasn't. >> this is likely the case of mistaken identity where the intended targets were someone else. >> reporter: they were looking for this composite sketch, instead a tip came in identifying new suspects. black was arrested during a traffic stop and prosecutors say

he later confessed and investigators found a gun at his home consistent with the eight shell casings found at the shooting scene. >> for this family, it didn't matter whether he was black or white, they wanted the right person involved captured. >> reporter: as for why the suspect description was so vastly different, the sheriff say this shooting happened very quickly, it was dark outside and the red pickup truck was probably the last thing jazmine's sister saw before the shooting erupted. the police still want to talk to the driver of the red pickup truck. the funeral is set for tomorrow. >> thank you. >> craig joins the table. the big story we're covering, golden globes last night. >> hollywood's party of the year, known for its unpredictability did not disappoint. natalie morales was there. >> hi. it took on a much lighter tone after being dominated last year

other, and that's because of two new technologies, high speed 5g wireless internet and artificial intelligence, and all of that led us to wonder, well, if all of these devices are going to be in sync with one another, well then how safe is your data? >> this week in las vegas, more than 4,000 tech companies are showing off the future. well, a really shiny, expensive version of it anyway. from samsung's design your own tv expandable from a mere 12 inch screen up to almost two stories tall, to artificially intelligent robot helpers for the elderly, new gadgets for your kitchen like a touch screen oven that walks you through the recipe. >> i can see just how badly i burned it. i didn't garnish it properly. >> reporter: and a fresh bread vending machine. google and amazon are battling to be your ever present assistant using new faster 5g technology to more quickly process what you're seeing.

maybe a credit card company with all of this personal information, but it's important to understand that these days every company in this building stands to gain from watching you and trying to predict what you are going to do next. now, they may not have any experience keeping your secrets but as we've seen here, they definitely have the ability to gather your data, you guys. >> so jacob, what should someone who's watching right now, what should they be thinking about before they go out and buy one of those fridges or one of those ovens that's collecting all of the information? >> you know, craig, i would say that the number one thing is read the boring privacy policy. it's sometimes called the terms and conditions that come with these devices. do that before you click agree on any new piece of software or hardware. i mean, you know, the thing is this is a new skill. it's something we're all going to have to learn how to do. it's becoming clear that it's going to be more and more important to have those skills before we start bringing this technology into our home, you

himself, dr. michael bruce. thank you for being here. let's start with the simple stuff, people wake up, i wake up at all points of the night. >> right. >> does that matter when we wake up? >> it absolutely matter, the more consistent our wake-up time is the more our circadian rhythm is in syny, it makes it easier to wake up and easier to fall asleep. >> you want to be consistent with where you wake up. >> i know that kind of stinks because the weekends people have a tendency to want to sleep in. only sleep in a half an hour on the weekend. you get what's called social jet lag. if you stay up late on friday, sleep in on saturday, guess what happens on sunday night, your body wants to stay up late. >> you also say it's important that we know something called our chrono type. >> it might be a word people don't know. if you've been called an early bird or night owl, you can learn what your chronotype is. it tells you when to go to bed. it also tells you when it wake up. >> what about what you eat and

drink, does that affect your sleep? >> it does absolutely. there are two big culprits there. those include caffeine and alcohol. those are two biggie's that can have a big section -- >> are those the polar opposites? the caffeine keeps you up and alcohol makes you sleepy? >> when you're looking at something like alcohol, while it make you feel sleepy it keeps you out of the deeper stages of sleep. >> why is that? >> it turns out alcohol has a particular effect on our overall sleep cycle. if you just wait about one hour per alcoholic beverage before bed, you're fine. let's say you have a couple of glasses of wipe ne at dinner, y dinner is at eight, at 10:00 you're fine. caffeine's a little different though. caffeine's got a half-life of six to eight hours. you want to stop caffeine around 2:00 p.m. that way it doesn't avffect you abilities to fall asleep. >> some people drink tequila and it acts like caffeine. >> that's another segment. >> that's a whole different ball

game. >> you also say light is something that's very important to the way we sleep. >> absolutely. right before we're going to bed blue light that comes from our devices or from a television can have a big effect on our ability to produce melatonin. i brought with me blue blocker glasses. these are very interesting. i'll let you guys try them on. >> from the commercial? >> yeah. what's cool about blue blockers is you can wear these at night. >> wow. this lit things up though. >> what's great about it, you can still read, watch tv. you can watch "game of thrones" or do your high score on candy crush without it blocking the melatonin production. blue blockers are key. they're available on amazon if people want to check them out. >> but you go to bed looking ridiculous. >> when you get sleepy you take them off. >> exactly. go to amazon. >> they make these in prescription by any chance? >> they can make them in prescription or they have ones that go over readers as well. go to amazon, type in sleep doctor, blue blocker and you'll find ones that other sleep doctors and myself have okayed. >> let me ask you this, for 90%

of my life i've never had a device anywhere near my bed zl that's awesome. >> now all of a sudden i've got an iphone, an apple watch, somehhow is that impacting my sleep? >> there aare some people that , you don't need any of the information in the middle of the night, and so many people when they wake up at 2:00 in the morning they pull open their phone. they check their e-mail, they're getting all this blue light, getting engaged. put your phone in another room. i promise it will help. >> waking up with sunlight? >> one of my best tips ever, if you can, get 15 minutes of sunlight. it does the opposite of blue blockers. it lets blue light in, turns melatonin off. >> dr. bruce thank you so much. go to today.com/starttoday. for more tips on how to keep the new year's resolutions strong. we're throwing a puppy party for
