garage you can see behind me, right behind where the county police car is, they are still con tin youing, -- continuing but the best thing is the way these things happen, tony and allison, it was wonderful to see that baby still in his morning jam mys, being held tightly in his mothers arms. back to you. >> that was the picture of the day. other news attacks in afghanistan topping our story this is morning some government officials were in a mosque in the village where an american soldier killed 16 civilians suddenly taliban fighters opened fire on them killing one afghan soldier. >> taliban threatened retaliation for sunday's shooting spree some were shot with a single bullet to the head. the 38-year-old american who did the shooting is the father

of two he had a brain jury in iraq in 2010 despite rising tensions he said the u.s. will not rush for the exit. >> obviously what happened this weekend was tragic and heart breaking, but when you look at what hundreds of thousands of our military personnel have achieved, under enormous strain you can't help but be proud generally. >> the first protest against the shooting started overnight in east earn afghanistan with hundreds of students demonstrating in the city. we are learning more about the university of maryland student accused of threatening to shoot up the campus. police say three different calls tipped them off to alexandre songs online threat first from a former university of maryland police aid late saturday night then someone in montana and another in baltimore, who saw the posting on another site early sunday. >> if you are joking you better

have required all voters in tex it is a to present -- texas to present a photo id before voting as of january 11% of all latinos in texas did not have proper identification. they failed to demonstrate the law would not infringe on voting rights. a bill that would ban smokers from driving in a vehicle with a child less than 8 years old, is in is the senate. limiting the ban to children under 8 will make the law easier to enforce. joining us now on the phone with more information democratic maryland senator, who sponsored the bill senator are you there. >> yes. >> thank you for joining us. why do you feel this bill is necessary? >> well, yeah, it is the facts from the centers for disease control and hopkins medical centers and so many other places american heart

association, lung association, have new information that younger children are more likely to develop asthma and chronic upper and lower respiratory infections of course at an earlier age if they have been exposed to smoking. younger children breathe in more rapidly, so, a young child actually would breathe more and more smoke, if they were a passenger in a car where others were smoking and it is just one of these things where common sense should be the solution but people don't pay attention to it until we pass legislation. >> under the law, if it becomes law would police officers be able to pull some body over if they simply observed them smoking in the car with a child. >> yes, they would there would not be a moving violation no

points but there would be possibly up to a $50 fine for that but the groups that are supporting this are the american lung association, american heart association, american academy of pediatrics, a lot of this -- these studies were done at johns hopkins and at nih and centers for disease control. >> let me ask you this not everybody supports it, some say this is just another example of government intruding into people's private and personal lives. >> well, one piece of information is that second hand smoke exposure costs $73 million a year, in children's medical treatment, so if we are thinking about -- i think if it were my child, i would not want her to be in a car pool with someone that was smoking and

so, it is some times this is a wake up call. i've learned so many things that i had no idea about, i am not a smoker but certainly after reading all the pages and so forth of testimony, it is -- parents need to wake up and be sure that kids are not smoking that parents are not smoking in a car, that the kids could be getting that. >> let me play devil's advocate for you for just a moment where do we draw the line. those that say you can't legislate stupidity you know they say well, why not make it against the law to force your -- or feed your kid a twinkie obesity is a big problem as well sweets are not good for the kids why not make that illegal. >> well, depends how much you love your child. actually my father died of lung

cancer, and he had never smoked but he worked with people who did, and that was at a time before we knew about second hand smoke. and i don't want anything like that happening to anybody any where that is the whole point of this, even if the windows are down, in a car, there is still a lot of that residual smoke that can get in the kids lungs their lungs are more sensitive and they do breathe more quickly, at a greater rate they breathe in more tar, carbon no knox aid, ammonia and -- monoxide, ammonia than adults. thank you we appreciate it. >> thank you bye. >> yep. >> coming up an event saluting women veterans taking place this sunday during women's
