with the ballards on either side. dpw requirements be state the boxes be placed on the curb which means the walker's and baby karjs carriages exit the car. on the meetings with neighbor associations residents imply there is an option to have or not to have the boxes installed. the only thing gained by the meeting is that the box could be relocated down the street. usually in front of a resident -- renters residence. of the ones approved i know of one disapproved on sanchez street. it was moved. as far as agreeing goes there is no possibility of putting it because there is kab net door on either side. i think that whole argument is bogus. thank you very much. >> i appreciate the process for at&t. i have two comments. the first comment provided by at&t is incomplete. the city law does require they place these boxes on private property and this is very similar to what comcast does. i will tell you what comcast provides which offers voice internet and video as does at&t product. what they provide on information that i rec

indianapolis mayor greg ballard tweeting he raised the travel warning to red, making it illegal to be on the road except for emergencies or seeking shelter. nbc sarah dallof joins us live in the thick of it in chicago. good morning, sarah. >> good morning. officials say this is not only dangerous, the temperatures could be deadly. a bitterly cold wake-up for millions this morning as an arctic front causes temperatures to drop to record lows. 30 to 50 degrees below average in the midwest. 25 states with thermometers sitting at zero and below. in indiana sunday, up to 2 inches of snow fell every hour throughout the day. the mayor of indianapolis warning residents to stay indoors. >> we will have temperatures that are potentially deadly or certainly life altering. >> reporter: in st. louis, snow and high winds made it nearly impossible to see. >> pay attention to your neighbors, see what they need and take care of them. >> reporter: schools are closed in chicago, and in minnesota, first public school closure there in nearly two decades. officials are pleading with people to stay off the

indianapolis mayor greg ballard warned residents to take precautions. >> this weather, nation that we're seeing right now with all of the snow and the cold is unlike anything we have seen in decades in this area. i can't emphasize that enough. the cold really scares me. temperatures that are particularly deadly or certainly life altering temperatures right now. we have to be very, very careful of that. after atld blast comes least 16 people died from a winter storm that brought snow and freezing temperatures to the midwest and northeast. while the united states freezes, australia has been suffering a blazing heat wave that saw temperatures hovering around 50 degrees celsius, or 122 degrees fahrenheit. last year was their hottest year on record. the recently elected prime minister has illuminated australia's climate change commission and how to undo measures to reduce when house gas emissions. in israel, african migrants marched in protest sunday against a new law allows those without valid visas to be detained indefinitely. people have reportedly been arrested since a law passed last mon
