His name. Welcome. Welcome to the newsworthy today's news in around ten minutes, fast, fair fund and on the go America Mandy thanks, so much for being here, you're ready. Let's do this americans are paying tribute to a top soldier and diplomat this week, Colin Powell died of complications from covert nineteen at eighty four years old. After a long life of public service palestine,

thirty five years in the army and rose to the rank of four star general. He then became the first black chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and the first black secretary of state. He worked under both republican and democratic president's power was fully vaccinated against over nineteen, but he was also dealing with serious, underline conditions. Power had multiple maya loma, which is a form of blood cancer that can weaken the immune system, had other health issues in the past to when he was secretary of state powell had to have surgery for prostate cancer and, more recently he was diagnosed with parkinson's disease. American flags at all, public properties will be flown at half staff all week to honour powell and messages of condolences will keep pouring. In already, president Biden called power, a quote dear friend, and a patriot of unmatched, honour and dignity and former president bush also put out a statement saying power was highly respected at home and abroad.

But that he was also a family man and friend, Colin Powell is survived by his wife, their three children and many grandchildren, as well as temperatures go down. The number of covert nineteen cases is going up in parts of the united states. Health experts warned this would likely happen since colder weather tends to bring people indoors where it's easier to catch the virus, and now some of the coldest states are seeing the biggest spike in infections. Alaska now has the highest number of new daily covered nineteen cases per capita. The next four states on that list are montana wyoming, north dakota and idaho cover. Nineteen cases are also rising quickly in places like vermont, new Hampshire, colorado, michigan and minnesota. Meanwhile, southern states that have been hotspots- the last couple of months like georgia and Florida, are

Turning to see the number of cases go down, this is similar to what happened around this time. Last year, northern states got the winter wave first, but the differences this sum around there are vaccines, so health experts say americans could still prevent another huge spike by getting their shots and then boost stars when their eligible a former president trump is now soon the law makers investigating the January sixth capital riot he's trying to keep them from getting the records they requested. Now. Remember the house panel once the trumps, every movement and meeting from that day, as well as all communication between government agencies, while trump supporters were storming the capital, but the former presidents legal team says handing those records over would go against executive privilege and that's the idea that president can have secret conversations in certain circumstances. So the question here is what is privileged information and can a current president overrule a former president on that

President Biden has said he wants lawmakers to get the records, and a couple of lawmakers on the panel responded to trump by saying the law is on their side, but it's never fully been fought in court before so. This case. Could at the precedent. U s. Supreme court is sticking with the pattern when it comes to police and excessive force. It said once again, most officers cannot be sued. Justices issued to rulings were separate cases. This week one was a police officer out of California who the queues of using more force than was needed when hand cuffing a man? The other case was over two officers who shot and killed a suspect in Oklahoma. Lower court said those officers could be sued for civil rights violations, but the high court disagreed citing was called qualified immunity. that's the rule that says law enforcement officers cannot be held liable unless another reasonable officer could see they acted illegally. The whole idea of qualified

an immunity has been the focus of police reform efforts. Lately some activists and democratic law makers have suggested getting rid of it. They say it helps police officers get away with abusing their authority, but republicans overwhelmingly support qualified immunity. They say police should not have to go through lawsuits every time there faced with a tough call on the job and they getting rid of it would make it impossible to recruit or keep good officers either way. for now the supreme court's decision stands by the way the supreme court could also way and on the controversial texas abortion law. Soon. The justice department has now filed an emergency request asking the high court to take this case and specifically for justices to block the abortion ban. While I get sorted out in the lower courts, the texas measure bands abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, which text officials say is necessary to protect the unborn, but the bite in administration says it goes against past supreme court rulings that are protected abortion rights for half a century. Justices could make a decision By the end of this week, we have.
