5:04 am
belgian authorities, has been visiting him in jail twice, including on october 3rd, nearly a month before the paris attacks. police are asking for help searching for the suspects, who forced entry into a morningside home early monday morning. investigators say two suspects held a woman at gunpoint, and beat her 19- year-old son with a crowbar. this all happened around three a-m monday when police say two men kicked in a locked door at a home at 26-27 south alice street. according to sioux city police, they entered the home demanding cash. the suspects tied up, and hit the 19-year-old with a crow bar, and held the mom at gun point every time she tried to stop them. "the suspects did take the cell phone that belonged to the mother, preventing her from calling 9-1-1," "once the suspects left, the younger son did leave to a neighbor's house to phone for help." police described one of the men as tall and thin... around six feet tall. the other suspect is desribved with a thin build, between five foot eight and five feet 11 inches. and, that's all the details
5:05 am
authorities on the two suspects. the sioux city police department may start using body cameras next spring. at a legislative meeting, yesterday, local and state lawmakers and police talked about what these cameras mean for safety. body cameras have been used around the country to increase transparency and accountabilit y, including in akron, iowa. but some people have concerns about privacy issues. "we get a lot of calls to to a lot of residences for various reasons and those are pretty personal calls," said sioux city police chief doug young. "they can be very personal calls, and i think there needs to be some type of standard set on the release of that." body cameras can record audio and video at the same time. they give officers the ability to record inside homes, and to capture images of sensitive issues that might come up during some service calls. "it's a big issue for the police department in terms of retention," said pete groetken, a sioux city councilmember. "it's a very expensive part of

reasonableness to how we release information." the iowa open record law includes a disclosure exception for video that contains evidence, or is part of an on-going investigation. the law doesn't exempt those contacts that are non-criminal. once an investigation is complete, and evidence is no longer needed, it becomes public record. the woodbury county law enforcement center may soon house more inmates. a recent engineering study found the building can a aomodate an addition. that addition would create more space to house extra beds. if the county continues to move forward, it would also close prairie hills. the century-old building poses a number of problems. the county estimates it will spend more than $1 million over the next decade on maintenance, alone. local law enforcers say the expansion will help. "the significance is it allows us to put all of our people, that we serve, the inmate population, , under one roof," said major greg stallman, woodbury co. sheriff's office. "it helps with the overcrowding, we've been overcrowded here for decades."

an architect to figure out how to create the addition and ensure everything i iup to code. the yankton school district is making changes to its security protocols and systems after two college students were arrested last week for entering the high school. the district today told parents the front entrances of the schools will now remain locked. a camera and buzzer were installed at yankton high school, and now people may only go inside the building if a staff member auauorizes it. the same system will be installed at the elementary and middle schools. the changes come after 18-year-old joseph vanbuskirk and 19-year- old adam gerard, who are university of south dakota students, entered the high school. police say the men didn't have permission to enter the school. they are facing various charges including trespassing and possession of firearms on school grounds. for the third year, norfolk will be hosting the nebraska school activities association one-act play production championships. more than a thousand students from all over

the championships which start today at the johnny carson theatre. the norfolk area sports councililports development manager says they've lelened a lot over the y yrs of hosting the championships . "when those schools walk into the johnny carson theatre, they're awestruck if they haven't seen it before and they're starstruck. the theatre stage is huge is for them, norfolk area sports council sports development manager mike fuehrer said." it's not easy to host the thousands of people that are expected to compete in and tend the championships. organizers sasathe community has been quick to assist in any way they can. the state one-act championships will begin today and continue through friday. having dinner delivered is always a quick and easy option. but most of the time it's not very healthy. coming up, we'll show you how one business is trying to change that.

"i think that i have the skills necessary to listen and represent the people of morningside, salix, sergeant bluff and bronson." jorgensen was first elected to the house in 2010. he calls bossman a friend and says he would be a"great replacement and representativ e of this area." today, the president and several other political groups will give remarks commemorating a very important event in american history. the abolishment of slavery. it's the 150th anniversary of the 13th amendment to the constitution that outlawed slavery in america. in the past mister obama has said that the issue of slavery is a regrettable part of american history. members of the black political caucus are expected to give remarks as well as newly elected speaker of the house paul ryan.

"the significance is it allows us to put all of our people, that we serve, the inmate population, under one roof," said major greg stallman, woodbury co. sheriff's office.

(sot: senator mitch mcconnell (r-ky)/ sen. majority leader :18-:21) "well, i'm certainly going to support the republican nominee for president, i think that wouldn't surprise anyone." (sot: michael steele/ fmr. rnc chairman :22-:26) "you can't turn you back on your nominee." flash "whoever gets the nomination the party is going to support." ted cruz condemned the plan but steered clear of bad mouthing trump: (sot: ted cruz/ (r) presidential candidate :30- :37) "a lot of our friends here have encouraged me to criticize and attack donald trump, i'm not interested in doing so." but the party's already taking a hit. hillary clinton's tying in other candidates: (sot: hillary clinton/ (d) presidential candidate :42- :47) "their language may be more veiled than trump's but their ideas are not so different." (sot: josh earnest/ white house press secretary :48- :57) "any republican who's too fearful of the republican base to admit it has no business serving as president either." there's no shortage of critics: (sot: bernie sanders/ (d) presidential candidate 1:00-1:02) "that kind of crap is not going to work in the united states of america." (sot: tabassum haleem, the council of islamic organizations of greater chicago 1:03-1:06) "condeming all muslims is a shocking new low for him."

but trump's not backing down. international headlines this morning are scathing: "dangerous demagogue... useful idiot... unacceptable.. . betraying america." there's a push to ban him from the u-k. trump doesn't seem fazed - and neither do his supporters. i'm tracie potts in washington, now back to you. >> national security.. and terrorism.. now dominate the presidential campaign, in the wake of the mass shooting attacks in paris and san bernardino, california. but democratic candidate bernie sanders says he'll continue to talk about economic inequality and poverty. that contrast came to a head yesterday after sanders took a walking tour of the baltimore neighborhood where freddie gray was arrested before he died in police custody. sanders grew visibly frustrated when reporters questioned why his press secretary told the media not to ask about isis. the candidate says the reporters are ignoring the real issues facing america. the man that iowa state representative ron jorgensen endorsed to replace him has picked up more support. republican jacob bossman is running for iowa house district 6. the district serves morningside,
6:16 am
salix. at morningside college, yesterday, bossman earned endorsements from state senators rick bertrand and bill anderson. " he's the right person to fill this seat," said sen. bill anderson, (r) pierson, iowa. "when we started having discussions about the possibility that rep. jorgensen was going to retire, the first name that came to mind for me was jacob bossman." senator anderson went on to say that bossman has big shoes to fill. bossman agrees. but, he says, he's up for the challenge. " i feel like i share a similar temperament to rep. jorgensen," said jacob bossman, running for house district 6. "i think that i have the skills necessary to listen and represent the people of bluff and bronson." jorgensen was first elected to the house in 2010. he calls bossman a friend and says he would be a quote "great replacement and representative of this area." today, the president and several other political groups will give remarks commemorating a very important event in american history. the abolishment of slavery. it's the 150th anniversary of

the constitution that outlawed slavery in america. in the past mister obama has said that the issue of slavery is a regrettable part of american history. members of the black political caucus are expected to give remarks as well as newly elected speaker of the house paul ryan. racism is also at the core of an announcement scheduled for nine this morning in chicago. mayor rahm emanuel will address the chicago city council to discuss reforms to the chicago police department and the challenges the department has had in the past and how it can move forward. some of the officers who responded to the mass shooting in san bernardino county last week recounted the tragic incident in which 14 people were killed. there were a total of 300 law enforcement officers who played a role in the mass shooting. many of the officers who spoke said they thought they would never experience something as grim as last week's fatal event. some of them have been called heroes for their actions on that day. but the officer who told civilians that he would take a bullet for them says he doesn't feel like a hero at all. tis the season of the ktiv tree
