Org to find out how. With this year rapidly drawing to a close, weve been looking back at quite a few best of lists for the year 2019. No list would be complete here on world news now without a look back at the best gadgets of 2019, so we had to bring back our giz wiz, dick debartolo. Welcome back, dick. This is one of my favorites of the year. Its from the back to school spot. Yep, i remember that one. The theftproof backpack. When it came, amazon, no wonder its theft proof, theres no way to put anything into it. How do you get into it . Exactly. When you flip it over, the zipper is all the way in the back. No one on a bus or train can reach it and unzip this without you knowing. Very clever. Inside its very nice. Its thinly padded. But theres a place for a battery charger and your music player. And then on the side are two outlets so you can charge your phone. Brilliant. And listen to music with the headphones. The kids love that one. 20 bucks. 20, thats a good one this thats a good one. What else . What were highlights for this year . From the pet spot, people love the doloop. I remember this one. I actually gave this we did this segment earlier this year. You gave me a couple of these, my friends love them. The doloop is a simple little loop that hangs onto the leash, comes with a little chain. If you want to carry bags with you, you bring it up to this plastic thing, just slide it down, and it sticks there. If its empty or full, it still holds it. You dont really have to, again, walk around like no, exactly. Like this with the dog poop in the bag, love it. Provide your own poop, thats the doloop. Whats the price . 8. 95. 9 bucks, yeah. This is really neat too, this is for the car. Were seeing four blue dots which means the batterys fully charged. Thats good, thats a good thing. This is your cigarette lighter on the car. Then you pull it out. Now this has its own battery in it. You hold it in and we have a flashlight, press it again, we have a brighter flashlight, press it again, we have an emergency blinker. Hold it in, it goes off. In the front here is usb. You can use this to charge your phone. In the back, a seat belt cutter. It has everything. Everything. And then finally this here, when you push it up against a side window, a pin comes out to break the window. Getting out of a car if youre trapped. The seat belt and the window will keep you in. We saw this one earlier this year, its a good reminder, especially in these winter months. Its 15 bucks. You have other ways to light up our life as well. This is my key chain. I have my comb. We did a thing about things for your key chain. The inka pen. People love the inka pen. It vanished for four years, they finally brought it back. Basically it hangs on your key chain. Its a way to have a pen all the time. It clicks in and holds in. But if you want a fullsize pen, you unscrew it, screw the holder onto the pen, you have a regular writing instrument. That is incredible. Also incredible, these keys right here, look at this. These are your keys, right . Oh, yeah, me, me, me. Love it. Finally, really this was my favorite of the year. You know what . Everyone remembers me waking up everyone with this little gadget right here, and here it goes. I gave to it a Senior Citizen to put on his cart. He said, dick, when i used to ring the electric thing, people would swear at me but get out of the way. With this they laugh and they go, please, be my guest. They probably jump out of the way instead. And this one right here . Its about 10 bucks. Thats it . The ugle horn, the bugle horn, the clown horn. For these and other top gadgets of 2019 check out dicks website at gizwiz. Biz or wnnfans. Com. Dick debartolo, thank you for a great and fun year of gadgets. Happy 2020. 2020. I know youve got some good things in store for us. We appreciate you, dick. Your colds gonna make you a zombie tomorrow. Wrong.

Thats because robs a man on a mission which he calls robs 10k friends. I would say robs 10k friends is my mission to spend one hour one on one with 10,000 different people to see what comes of Opening Doors for no particular reason. Reporter during his meetings rob doesnt write anything down or take any physical notes. But afterwards he manages to write a quote and a brief bio about each of his new friends. The project also presenting rob with some unexpected Life Experiences of his own. A san diego pilot offering to have his meeting with rob in an airplane. We drove to the plane.

Our hour spent getting to know each other was flying over the coast of san diego. Reporter strangers setting up meetings with rob via instagram, his website, or the oldfashioned way, being referred by a friend. What started as a passion project when rob worked in consulting has turned into his fulltime gig. So in terms of finances, are you fully supporting yourself with the project . Im building to it. I think when youre walking past people who you recognize and whose backstories you know, it just makes everything feel like home. What is the best thing about the project . Im starting to see people take on their own initiatives of meeting new people. And i like that the project has this air of good to it. If 10 people are trying to meet 10 new people this year as a result of it and they have a good experience, maybe 20 will do that next year. He is not taking drakes advice. I was just going to say, no new friends. No new friends. They really do just think the same thing. Thats what happens when you have just one really good friend. Thats right. You dont need all the others. They are on the same wavelength. Good for him. Hes going to meet more in 2020. They dont help single moms. Hi. Hi. What happened to our house last year . It flooded.

Abcs ines de la cuetara has more. Reporter a dayslong manhunt ending with an arrest. Police apprehending the man suspected of stabbing to death two College Students in nashville, one of those students the brother of San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback c. J. Beathard. Police say 23yearold michael d. Mosley surrendered from a vacant home in ashland city, tennessee, after it was surrounded by law enforcement.

Reporter police say mosley had made unwanted advances toward a woman who was friends with the men who were killed, 22yearold clayton beathard, 21yearold paul trapini who were stabbed and taken to Vanderbilt University medical center, where both died of their injuries. Beathards parents released a statement to abc news saying, he had his familys, friends, and teammates backs even to a fault. I wish he would have been more inclined to take the high road, but he hated wrong. A San Francisco 49ers c. J. Beathards teammates heartbroken. He barely could talk. The last thing he said to me when i walked out the door, he stopped me, he goes, you make sure the guys go win this game. This game doesnt mean anything compared to his brother. We all know that.

More than 200 people were displaced when a fouralarm fire ripped through a temporary housing facility for the homeless in minneapolis. The fastmoving blaze started on the second floor and spread.

Today is expected to be the busiest travel day of the holidays and for many in the southwest the worst. Snow is on the ground in the grand canyon and the rest of Northern Arizona and new mexico. Those traveling through the Southern California mountains are being warned it may look like the storm that hit over thanksgiving all over again. Accuweathers chris nallan has the details. Chris, good morning. Kenneth, janai, now were talking about travel after the holiday. Were going to look at some rain, some mountain snow across the southwest. Specifically along i10 and i5 here. Were looking at some tricky travel now as we head into your friday. Snow is going to be across northern parts of arizona into new mexico. Rain around the desert there, phoenix into tucson. Ah, yes. Then that storm system heads towards the east. Were talking about some heavy snow across the rockies yet again. Kenneth and janai . All right. A moderate republican senator says shes quote disturbed by the way the majority leader is preparing for the president s impeachment trial. Senator Lisa Murkowski of alaska says Mitch Mcconnell should not be working with the white house to set up the trial. She told an anchorage tv station that the house impeachment was flawed, but regardless, there should be distance between the white house and the senate. I heard what leader mcconnell had said. I happen to think that that has further confused the process. For me to prejudge and say theres nothing there, or on the other hand, he should be impeached yesterday, thats wrong. In my view, thats wrong. Murkowskis opinion could be important because republicans only have a fourvote majority in the senate. The switch of a few senators could change how the trial is set up or its outcome. The remains of a green beret killed in afghanistan have been returned to the u. S. Multiple officials were on hand for the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force base in delaware. Sergeant first class Michael Goebel of new jersey died monday after a roadside bombing.

Christmas day has come and gone with no sign of that socalled gift from north korea. A north korean official made the threat earlier this month as denuclearization talks fizzled. Analysts warn that the north could still act. Abcs matt gutman has more from seoul. Reporter north korea has promised that Christmas Gift to the u. S. And President Trump, so far nothing has happened here. Christmas has come and gone. Now for his part, President Trump has seemed to shrug off the whole notion of a Christmas Gift which might come in the form of a launch of some sort of missile, possibly longrange missiles capable of hitting the United States. He said it could be a Christmas Gift, it could be a v. A. S. E. , it could be a missile launch, he doesnt know and he doesnt seem too worried about it. Still, analysts tell us this is north korea, it always comes up with surprises. And the only real leverage it has over the United States is with its missiles and nuclear arsenal. So there is a possibility for some sort of militaristic action in the days and weeks to come. One interesting tidbit im told from north korea watchers, that the north might want to speed the process up ahead of the u. S. Elections. It believes that President Trump is much more likely to broker a deal with it than a potential successor for president. Matt gutman, abc news, seoul, south korea. Also overseas, israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was rushed off the stage as a rocket was fired from gaza into israel. He was led away within minutes of being introduced at a campaign event. You see him there. It came one day before netanyahu faces a leadership challenge within his own party. The rocket was intercepted and netanyahu returned to the stage. No injuries were reported. So everybody got their good eats on yesterday. Stocking stuffed. Yep. I was stuffed. For the nbas annual christmas feast, the celtics, sixers, and warriors were winners in the early games. The new Orleans Pelicans won the late game. The marquee matchup of the day was in los angeles where the lakers faced the clippers. Lebron james had a chance to tie it in the final seconds but his threepoint attempt was blocked. Video review showed james touched it last before the ball went out of bounds. The clippers won it 111106. At the end of the first half, Anthony Davis of the lakers fell into the crowd and landed on kevin harts lap. Lebron james also got in on the act.

An Anthony Davis to take home. Apparently he did, yeah, quite a big gift for little kevin hart. All love. The worlds critically endangered black rhino population just increased.

A moderate republican senator says shes quote disturbed by the way the majority leader is preparing for the president s impeachment trial. Senator Lisa Murkowski of alaska says Mitch Mcconnell should not be working with the white house to set up the trial. She told an anchorage tv station that the house impeachment was flawed, but regardless, there should be distance between the white house and the senate. I heard what leader mcconnell had said. I happen to think that that has further confused the process. For me to prejudge and say theres nothing there, or on the other hand, he should be impeached yesterday, thats wrong. In my view, thats wrong. Murkowskis opinion could be important because republicans only have a fourvote majority in the senate.

Analysts warn that the north could still act. Abcs matt gutman has more from seoul. Reporter north korea has promised that Christmas Gift to the u. S. And President Trump, so far nothing has happened here. Christmas has come and gone. Now for his part, President Trump has seemed to shrug off the whole notion of a Christmas Gift which might come in the form of a launch of some sort of missile, possibly longrange missiles capable of hitting the United States. He said it could be a Christmas Gift, it could be a v. A. S. E. , it could be a missile launch, he doesnt know and he doesnt seem too worried about it. Still, analysts tell us this is north korea, it always comes up with surprises. And the only real leverage it has over the United States is with its missiles and nuclear arsenal. So there is a possibility for some sort of militaristic action in the days and weeks to come. One interesting tidbit im told from north korea watchers, that the north might want to speed the process up ahead of the u. S. Elections. It believes that President Trump is much more likely to broker a deal with it than a potential successor for president. Matt gutman, abc news, seoul, south korea.
