Gop frontrunner donald trump spoke to a packed rally in nevada just hours before the states caucuses nevada is the last chance for the candidates to gain some momentum before super tuesday on march first. Good evening. Im lynn melling. Thank you for joining us tonight. Trump is expected to win tonights caucuses in nevada. But here in iowa, trumps name is being used to degrade a High School Basketball team. Justin surrency explains why cheers from opposing fans are targeting a Diverse School in rural iowa. Perry high school bucks the trend of what is typically found in a rural iowa setting. We are really more of an urban school in a rural setting. Here at the high school we are 48percent minority. They embrace that diversity and it shows on the Basketball Court with players of latino, native american and African American desent. Its all about who you are as a person and thats what is great about a small town like perry. Unfortunate ly that diversity isnt being we are all aware of racism, its alive and well in small portions but its alive and well and its just hurtfull to see thats what they resort too. At monday nights game against Dallas Center grimes opposing fans used trumps disdain for Illegal Immigrants to target several players of latino decent. Things like trump, trump, trump, trying to intimidate us with the things mr. Trump has said that hes oing to do with immigrants and their children. With the Political Climate the way it is this year, its a little more chargedits cut the communty and players like senior Shammond Ivory deep. Its honestly disrespectful, thats how i takak it. I hear it during the game and on and off the court everywhere i go. Its been a constant almost all season for perry. We had an instagram issue 2 weeks ago with a Conference School and the School Administrators took care of it very well. The jayhawks have found a way to turn the other cheek. Theres a way to be loud and proud and we live by that and we do it every single day we are respectful, were loud obviously we win, it works we dont need to be disrespectful. They ve turned hatefull chants into motivation. 12 15 5612 16 08a s soon as i hear Something Like that it just triggers me and it makes me strive for coaches and my community. Immediatelty greets all those that walk into the perry gymnasium. They hope opposing teams follow suit and if they dont, they hope their play on the court can change their hearts and minds about race. Its not about the color, we are all equal. Tony watson the Dallas Center grimes Athletic Director confirmed the chants at last nights game and said that the issue has been addressed at the school. He declined to comment on whether or not any students were disciplined. Last monday perry coach ned menke was awarded the Iowa High School associations Character Counts coach of the year. Coming up in the next half hour. Well have more on the nevada gop caucuses. One of the big topics on the campaign trail right now. Replacing the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. Today. Iowa senator Chuck Grassley let it be known, that whomever president obama nominates as a Supreme Court justice, will not get a confirmation hearing. Senator grassley is chairman of committee. Which holds the hearings. Republican members of that committee released a letter to president obama today. It reads in part given the particular circumstances under which this vacancy arises, we wish to inform you of our intention to exercise our Constitutional Authority to withhold consent on any nominee to the Supreme Court submitted by this president to fill Justice Scalias vacancy. The letter goes on to say, the committee will not hold hearings on any nominee until after the next president is sworn in. Governor Terry Branstad announced today that the centers for medicare and Medicaid Services has approved iowas plan to privatize medicaid starting april first. According to the governors office, the change will improve iowans Health Care Delivery by offering Preventive Services beyond what currently is available. Critics, however, are concerned thousands of iowans will see a disruption in their access to care. Gun suppressors are legal for hunters and sports shooters to use in hoping to make iowa number 42. i think they are a tremendous device, they are for Hearing Protection, a suppressor itself is not a weapon, its an accessory thats put on a firearm just to cut down the noise as a Hearing Protection device. representative terry baxter introduced the bill. He says gun suppressors reduce the sound of gun shot by 2030 percent. But opponents of the measure dont see why shooters cant just use ear protection. They see a suppressor as a weapon. i think there is too much danger involved to legalize one more offensive weapon to be a nonoffensive weapon in iowa. the bill passed the house 74 to 24. Also passed through the house, a bill that removes the age requirement to shoot a gun, and allows those on an loaded gun. A former state senator will not go on trial tomorrow as planned. Today Kent Sorenson plead guilty to disorderly conduct. Sorenson was originally charged with Domestic Abuse and interference with official acts back in july 2015. As part of his plea, he now faces a sentence of up to 30 days in jail and a maximum 625 dollar fine. The 43 year old is awaiting sentencing for violating federal Campaign Finance laws during the 2012 president ial campaign. Testimony has started in the trial of a boone man charged with killing his wife. Alexander fazzino is accused of killing Emily Fazzino in january of 2012. Her body was found on the bathroom floor of their home. Both sides agree she struggled with addiction to prescription medication. But prosecutors contend there were no drugs found in her system at the time of her death. They argue her path to recovery after police were called to their home just a week before her death. Youre going to hear that after police had left, emily, who was slowly standing up to alex, wanted to get away. Defendants claim Emily Fazzino had detoxed, but still suffered from withdrawal symptoms. They say she fainted on the day of her death, causing her to accidentally drown in the tub. An ffa group in des moines was the victim of theft over the weekend, and it could hurt how the organization operates. I came back and thought about things, then realized the door to the keybox was open, that i looked out the window where i parked the suburban and, it was gone on sunday night, someone broke into the Horticulture Office near mccombs middle school. The suspect also stole tools, batteries and some cash. Instructor craig nelson says whoever stole the items, knew members use the suburban to get to activities. And the money students raised in the program was used to buy it. The stolen vehicle looks similar to the one seen here. Its a black, 4door 1999 gmc suburban. It has official iowa license plates number 112787. That Bumper Sticker also sets it apart it reads we give a crop about agriculture. a proposed 80 Million Dollar renovation to the state Historical Museum could cut the size of the building in half. The Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs says. That approximately 40 Million Dollars of repairs is needed to maintain the current facility, including exterior Granite Panel failure, skylight and roof leaks and outdated hvac systems. The proposed project would remove the eastern portion of the building and completely remodel the western portion. New exhibit galleries on the first and second floors will be of various sizes to increase the visibility of the states if approved, the building is 2020. Tonight. Coming up next the first ever droneassisted arrest in wisconsin. Why Something Like this could become more common in the years ahead. Mostly cloudy skies will hold on central iowa. While winds will be light at first from the nw at 5 to 10 mph, they will pick up and gust 20 to 25 mph on wednesday. With the wind, even though tthere will be more sun on wednesday, highs will be slightly cooler, in the upper 30s. Winds will be Even Stronger on thursday with gusts near 40 mph possible. That will push highs well into the 30s for a brief cool down. Warm weather bounces back over the weekend, with highs close to 60s on saturday. And at 930. Race for the white house. The latest from nevada. Where the gop caucuses are being held tonight from who hd iowas High Definition leader. Youre watching the its hard to keep the whole thing straight. And all these socalled deals . Well, they come with a lot of deal breakers. Like when you leave the city the signal goes weak. U. S. Cellular built a network to give you a stronger signal where the other guys dont. And as for deals . Hows 300 back for every line you switch . 300 no ball nonsense. Get 300 per line and a stronger signal, welcome back. An arrest like no other in the state of wisconsin caught on camera as Ben Handelman reports. Dont be surprised if you start seeing more situations like this, in your neighborhood soon. Somewhere along this densely neighbors trying to spy on her property. They said we heard noise, we want to see what youre doing. they wanted to know what was going on at this abandoned quarry known around richfield as the scenic pit. They couldnt get in to see it because everytime they tried i would tell them to leave. Zoulek and her husband planned to restore the land and build homes on it. And that meant for years they would be operating the site as a sort of landfill. There is clean fill that needs to go somewhere and theres places like our place that needs the clean fill. Concerned about truck traffic and potential groundwater contamination, neighbors formed a group called richfield residents against the dump. And in july, one of the groups members sent up a drone like what was going on inside. Because they cant see the quarry, you know. So they flew up and around and over. The video was posted on youtube. And the pilot emailed a link to the village of richfield, which was embroiled in a lawsuit with zoulek over the quarry. The court will admit that the issue is close. While a Washington County judge ruled against zoulek, the drone video had nothing to do with it. It never actually captured anything of consequence. But to zoulek, thats not the point. You want to talk about being pied . The group she had every right to block at ground level went quite literally over her head. Tell me why a private citizen that i know nothing about can just fly a drone over my property without permission . The drone pilot is a richfield Resident Named steven mahler, who did not respond to multiple requests for an interview. In an email to the village of richfield, he said he only flies his drone for Recreational Purposes. This wasnt just recreational flying of drones. So zoulek complained to the Washington County sheriffs department, which told her there was nothing they could do. Because no individual person had their privacy violated. I said, so the next time i see a drone i will be running naked through my pit. the faa could not determine if mahler had violated any specific regulations, but it did send him an educational letter outlining the important distinction between flying a drone for Recreational Purposes or for some other purpose. alright, here we go. while Drone Technology is still relatively new. The market for drones isnt just taking off, its soaring. Unmanned aerial systems are dollar impact on the economy in the next ten years. But the rules on where and how you can fly them are still being developed. The faa is going to have to get a handle on it. Russ klingaman is a professor of aviation law at marquette. And one of very few experts on drone law. So far, he says, the faa has focused mostly on drone use by Government Agencies and private businesses. If youve got a Small Business and youre using it to market. Youre using it for images that youre going to put on a website, if youre going to sell your images. The faa is going to consider that a commercial use. This stuff is so, like, in its infancy. Peter menet is a National Guard helicopter pilot who Just Launched a private drone business called menet aero, which does High Resolution aerial mapping. Before he could even lift off, he had to secure a waiver from the government with dozens of rules attached. It took me 126 days and i mean im still going through all the different processes. Without that exemption, commercial use of a drone is against the law and subject to massive fines by the faa. But its a far different story for hobbyists. There is no regulation in and its almost an honor system. The faa predicts one million americans will get a drone for christmas. And klingaman says thats a serious safety concern. The hobbyists, if they dont understand the airspace,if they dont understand the equipment theyre using. Theres a lot of risk. In august, a drone crashed into thestands at the us open. Two days later, one crashed into the scoreboard at a College Football game. Last winter, a drone crash landed on the white house lawn and wednesday, a drone collided with seattles pier 57 ferris wheel, then literally feel through a cafe table below. All of that increases the fear that a reckless operator will collide with an airplane. Or crash into moving traffic. You lose control of something this big and it can hurt people pretty badly. To get the word out, the faa has developed a program called know before you fly that instructs users to keep drones below 400 feet. Keep them in direct line of sight. And dont fly them near people, stadiums, or within five miles of an airport. A restriction that severely limits where you can legally i highly suggest you read the law. But while the faa is tasked with maintaining airspace safety, its not entirely clear whos in charge of privacy. Its a patchwork. Cities and counties are passing their own laws. And in the past three years, 27 states have passed dronerelated legislation. And at least three of them specifically ban the use of drones on private property. Which raises a whole new set of questions. If youre in a manned aircraft, the airspace is all public domain. But with a drone, where does the Property Line start and end . Is it 10 feet . Is that high enough . What about 50 feet . Are we getting any closer . What about 100 feet . Is that high enough yet . What about 200 feet . Property line go . In wisconsin, there is no law specific to private property. Instead, the badger state has taken a different approach. Its a very loose standard. Last year, Governor Walker signed a new law that makes it a crime to use in a place where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Clearly defined. Front yard versus back yard. But the law only focuses on recording a person. Did i go to the wrong side. And that is why zoulek went to madison. Hi. Hi. How are you . To meet with lawmakers. It only protects you if they actually video you. She wants something on the books that protects private property from aerial trespassing. Im hoping that they put stricter laws on drone activity. Just because the aircraft can do it, doesnt necessarily mean you should do it. Peter menet just hopes irresponsible drone users dont not only does Wisconsin Law make it a crime to use a drone in violation of a persons property. It also requires police to get a search warrant to use a drone where a person has that same expectation of privacy. Mostly cloudy skies will hold on at least into the overnight in central iowa.

Guantanamo harms our partnerships with allies in other countries, whose cooperation we need against terrorism. When i talk to other World Leaders they bring up the fact that guantanamo is not resolved. Moreover, keeping this facility open is contrary to our values it undermines our standing in the eh world. It is viewed as a stain on our broader record of upholding the highest standards of rule of law. The plan involves transferring the bulk of remaining detainees to other countries and moving the rest who cant be transferred abroad because theyre deemed too dangerous to an detention facility in the united states.
