parents of a wilmington middle schooler are suing the school district because they say their daughter was forced to urinate into a cup on a moving school bus in front of everyone, in january of last year their 10 year-old daughter was on the bus during a field trip she asked the bus to stop repeatedly so she could use the restroom but teachers on the bus would not let her. the suit also names the central illinois school bus company at the cooperative for special education. i think as parents when you leave your children off to school or you leave your children to participate in a field trip you are in trusting those teachers in the school district to protect their well- being. parents of the child are alleging emotional distress seeking over $150,000 in damages the school district said in a statement they are not doing anything wrong, that it is the bus company. he loved his family, he was an entrepreneur, he was a coach. investigators hope this surveillance video will lead them to the person that killed this man. also no call from the hall some of baseball's biggest past stars. shut

civil rights activist known as the wilmington 10 have been pardoned by north carolina's outgoing governorn and one woman were convicted of firebombing a grocery store in 1972. their convictions were overturned, but now finally a pardon. governor purdue saying their convictions were tainted by naked racism. >>> the 124th tournament of roses parade in pasadena will take on a different look today. for the first time ever, the defense department has a float. this will be a replica of the korean war veteran's memorial in washington, d.c. also, the occupy movement plans to have a float following the parade, featuring 15 foot high mr. monopoly character to represent greedy bankers. i would like the shoe with the thimble more than the monopoly guy. other news, cnn's chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta kicked off 2013 by taking part in the annual new year's eve midnight run in new york's central park. he was joined by other time warner employees, and friends. >> ali was there -- no, he wasn't. >> dr. gupta also led the time warner fit nation team in 2012 promoting the importance of physic

love and used to work in in philadelphia, the market street in philadelphia or market street in wilmington, delaware. you see a proliferation of weapons being used, younger and younger people using them, being used on them and against them. this is going to be a comprehensive approach to deal with all of these issues. three kind of legs that this stool will be built on, one dealing with gun voils. two is dealing with school safety and three, i think, is dealing with the mental health category, making sure you have a rational approach to making sure that people who have mental illnesses, not just those who have been adjudicated as such, have less access to weapons. i hope we'll be hearing about that tomorrow and i hope that's what we'll be talking about in my state. >> certainly you've seen both in your state and now new york with governor cuomo bringing stringent laws to a state that already had tough laws. as the commissioner said, they're attacking now all aspects of this. there are many threads to how you deal with gun violence in mencht america. i simply can't understand why these mili

to the days when we were writing the crime bill when dennis was a police officer in the city of wilmington. and also the chief law enforcement of delaware is here that i have known even longer. we share the same last name, the attorney general of the state of delaware, by son beaux and i do whatever he says because he has the power to indict. \[laughter] >> all kidding aside, i'm proud of my home state as we used to say in the senate, point of personal privilege, the progress they are making, efforts they are making under the leadership of our governor on the very subject you talked about. and i say to dennis, mayor williams, forgive me, i'm so used to referring to the mayor of philadelphia as my mayor because i spent about half my life in philadelphia and my granddaughter resides in the city limits, i want to be particularly good. my daughter is also a voter there as well. so i have to be particularly on good behavior. ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure to be back. i look forward to this opportunity every chance i get from the time i was a young fellow and new to the united states sena

there was a--excuse me--a nuclear power plant down at wilmington not too far from us, and so, you know, that probably crept into my imagination. also, you know, when i was going to high school--i mean, sorry, under--elementary school, you know, we'd just gone to the moon and we were switching to the metric system, and so there was a lot of science talk in the air. so i think, you know, i just picked it up. c-span: but you are a trekkie. >> guest: definitely. definitely. definitely. c-span: how did you become a follower of "star trek"? >> guest: well, i think as most people who sort of fall under gene roddenberry's vision do, those initial reruns--i mean, i don't remember it--when i was five in 1968, certainly wouldn't have stood to watch it. but through the reruns, through high school, kirk and spock and all that sort of thing fascinated me. and i--as i say, i was--had an interest in science fiction, with "star trek" in particular. i mean, my friend richard, to whom the book is dedicated, was a huge "star trek" fan. i mean, this was a man who was, you know, dean's listed every semester

>> wilmington, delaware. >> you're kidding me? >> [inaudible] >> is that right? yeah, god love you. it's a pleasure to meet you. well, it's wonderful. come on, mom, we're going to put you right next to me here, okay? [inaudible conversations] >> okay, here we go. >> hey, good to see you. [inaudible conversations] >> you just stand right there, mom, we'll go around you.

on december 25th, i was unknown with homes in jackson home and wilmington, delaware and all the people the media that i didn't have before because i was treated politely and kindly and was not distorted only with one or two exceptions. my respect for the media has grown dramatically. >> i think we can change that this morning. [laughter] >> what matthew and i are up to now is realizing that in the last year and a half, we've had an unusual amount of deviciveness and negativity interjected into the society because that's how campaigns work. the professional show that a negative campaign is five times more successful than a positive campaign i'm told. now, how do we bring our country back together, a housed against itself cannot stand, a great quote abraham lincoln used in scripture, and taking people on the left and right and bring them together with their political views, and then how can we have projects we all agree on? it could be increasing the ease for international adoptions, providing fresh water in africa or haiti, could be mobile medical units in tulsa. there's a group there c
