i hope we support with the you caring.org for the sophia memorial. i just wanted to add that there is a connection with uber and ride sharing companies with the lou spaeerctionv and the hitting of the mom and young brother as well. and i just wanted to say that today i'll be looking closely with my office at the various factors of the regulation of new -- this new so-called ride sharing private sector companies like uber side car and lift so that we can understand more of what the legal liabilities and regulations should be in a city like ours. with the rise of ride sharing services, i think it's really critical that we look at public safety in this era of new industries emerging. there are questions that some have raised if the driver -- and i'll just say that i'll wait for the facts to come out, but companies like uber have been slow to answer questions after the incident happened. and while private ride sharing services can play an important role in under served areas like the west side and the richmond, i think public safety really shouldn't be d

we have sophia bush -- >> that's dean cain? >> we have sophia bush with us. >> she's terrific. you know about sophia bush, her father, i believe his name is -- charles bush, not charles bush the actor, the screenwriter -- the playwright, her father is one of the finest photographers in all of hollywood. he took my picture -- the guy that all the top stars pay to have their picture taken. even if you can't afford it, it is worth it because he makes you look like that. we'll talk to her about that. he's a lovely, lovely man. okay. >> we told you we want to keep you active even though it is freezing cold outside. so every day this week we'll show you a move that will help you get fit. and today katrina hodgson and karena dawn, they're showing you how to work your core. so do that. anyway, do this -- >> dean has been on our show too many times. >> we love him. >> do this for the entire commercial break. >> you feel the burn. >> oh, yeah. oh, yeah. >> forget the resolutions, we're going to tell you how to make real lasting changes in your life. >> he's one super guy. dean cain is a

sophia says the food was thrown out there were lots of tears and it was pretty upsetting for them the district school officials have since apologized for how their employees behaved but let's be honest this never should have first negative account balance or not you just don't throw away hungry kids lunch that is for you here. we need a carbon tax and we need it now during a state of the union address on tuesday president obama talked a lot about climate change and how important it is that we stop using. nineteenth century energy and start using twenty first century sources of energy take a look. over the past eight years the united states has reduced our total carbon pollution more than any other nation on earth. ah but we have to act with more. because the changing climate is already harming western communities struggling with drought and coastal cities dealing with floods that's why i've directed my administration to work with states utilities and others to set new standards on the amount of carbon pollution our power plants are allowed to dump into the air the shift. to shift to a

instead there is a memorial for 6-year-old sophia liu. police say the accident happened here at polk and ellis on new year's eve when an uber driver, those are drivers using their own personal cars, hit the family as they were walking in the crosswalk. the driver did not have a passenger at the time. the girl's mother and brother also suffered serious injuries. this is uber's first wrongful death lawsuit. the company says they are not planning to release any new comments regarding the lawsuit other than what they previously wrote on their website. quote, our hearts go out to the family and victims of the accident that occurred in downtown san francisco. we work with transportation providers across the bay area but we can confirm that this tragedy did not involve a vehicle or provider doing a trip on the uber system. uber made this distinct, because the company claims drivers out fares are not uber cars. the company insures uber drivers only when they have a fare meaning in this case uber claims no liability. uber drivers say -- the driver

and speaking of entrepreneurship and business, sophia, business taxes, puerto rico was seen as a niceven for multinationals to set up business, and what effect is this going to have on entrepreneurship in a country where only 50% is working, and half of the cooperations left in the past year? >> it will be a reality. and we have it look at the flip side of that. and that means that entrepreneurs who are able to export their products can take advantage of the incentives that we have, and get a tax rate of 4%. so it's not higher taxes for everyone. entrepreneurs here and those we are able to attract can take advantage of world class tax incentives. >> there's a report that the underground economy in puerto rico is $20 billion here, and how much of this flow of money is going untaxed? >> that's the point. one of the problems in puerto rico, the regulations, through a weak rule of law. and that creates incentives for a black market economy. and yes, if you have a sizeable chunk of your gnp that is underground, it doesn't help. when you have a debt crisis, you have two ways to solve it. on

sophia lu's family is suing. the family's attorney christopher dolan says this is the first wrongful death lawsuit filed against uber, the ride sharing company ever. this is where she was hit. you can see people have left flowers and bears. the 6-year-old was in a crosswalk when a driver in a honda did not yield. the suit maintains that the driver, an uber contractor, was on the app when he hit the girl on new year's eve, and because drivers must use it quickly to get riders, it basically amounts to distracted driving, a violation of california law. now, the suit claims uber is responsible for sophia's death, as the drivers say he was on at the time of the crash, although he didn't have a passenger. we contacted uber, which did not have a new comment, but referred us to a blog and a prior statement saying "we can confirm that the driver in question was a partner of uber and that we have deactivated his uber account. the driver was not providing services on the uber system during the time of the accident. we again
