Did anyone think the filling in the middle of doughnuts is actual fruit . Someone did because now there is a lawsuit against krispy kreme because the filling is made with flavoring and food coloring. The guy suing says it is false advertising because the donuts are called filled. He also says krispy kreme is robbing them of the Health Benefits that they have been expecting. Krispy kreme by the way is not commenting. Protests all across the country but what is next cracks how does the protest become a social movement . The three things that need to day seven or eight more than one week straight, school kids walking out of class in protest of donald trump, some of the kids are high school aged not old enough to vote they are doing it for immigration rights. Will the protesting turn into something more . Kumasi aaron looks into what it would take to actually see something change. Experts tell me the main thing it will take is a key message, at this rally the message is immigration reform, but a lot of the protests we havent seen the message isnt as clear. From students walking out of the street, protest around the country following Donald Trumps election win. What will it take for protests to create change . There are three main things that make a social movement, a political opportunity causing people to respond, access to Critical Resources from financial to informational, and three, a key message, in this case the political opportunity is the election of donald trump, experts are not sure if protesters have access to google resources or if the message is clear. This longtime organizer helped lead the rally pushing for immigration reform. He says creating a social movement takes a comprehensive approach. We need to march to show our numbers to show stability to show we are here. A recent poll shows voters protest, 48 of likely voters believe the protest are a reflection of unhappiness. 46 disagree and say they are motivated by political agitators, only 22 think they will lead to positive change. We mobilize the communities, not only on the streets to march, but also to march to the voting polls. Starting a social movement will take more than marching for the now, im kumasi aaron. Organization to a social movement is key, someone who can clearly explain the issue. That is one reason the recent occupy wall Street Movement fell apart. They did not want a designated leader. With this postelection bickering one school is doing something completely different. They created joy all it just club. This is in a middle to spread joy to other students, they wish everybody would stop and think about how they talk and act toward each other including adults. Wanting them to grow up and act like these children to spread the joy. We are with meteorologist shay ryan. I am having flashbacks of september. This system is a good reminder we are not out of hurricane season, the great news that will sit and spin in this area, it is likely become our hopefully last tropical system of the season, take a look at the spaghetti models, they just spin in the southwest caribbean and then eventually they make its way back to the west that is what it is looking like across nicaragua, we are not looking at any concern in the immediate area for this system but it could become auto over the next couple of days. Outside, 77 tampa, 72 st. Peter, 75 a lot of sunshine to be found as we look at the futurecast it looks like nothing is happening, the clock moving shows us we are Going Forward in time, as you see outside in south tampa, plenty of sunshine, nice and clear and dry. It is gorgeous out there, futurecast confirming we will see more of that not only with clear skies throughout the night but into tomorrow thursday nothing is going on, very little cloud cover across the state, no rainfall. That lack of cloud cover acting like a blanket overnight bringing temperatures down into the upper 50s, when you wake up tomorrow morning another cool start, but warmer tomorrow afternoon with the highest 78, then friday making it to 80, by saturday temperatures start coming down a little bit ahead not look like we will see any rain out of the next front, but we will notice the difference in the temperatures, back down sunday morning into the upper 50s and ending the day most likely in the upper 60s. We have got a gorgeous forecast ahead, certainly going to feel like fall in the days ahead, that is after the warmup, but the coldest morning is yet to be seen in the forecast.

We are watching the breaking Denver International airport, this chopper video is from minutes ago you can see the fire burning. There was a house destroyed by a fire, apparently the fire jumped to other buildings, police do not think anyone is hurt. The warm and dry conditions are not helping much.

Smoke hanging thick across the southeast, their quality near charlotte, North Carolina are at code red. Firefighters are trying to get control of 15 wildfires burning across western North Carolina alone covering 45,000 acres. Large fires burning in north and south carolina, georgia, alabama, new hampshire, kentucky tennessee and from space on the other side of the country firefighters spend the week battling a fastmoving brush fire in los angeles. Wildfires are common in the west but by this time snow should be making conditions less dangerous. That is not the case this year. It is just dry, they have the forecast, the Drought Conditions are going to continue throughout the country. Hopefully we will get the snowpack we need. But they have that. Investigators say many fires burning in the southeast are human caused and may be arson. For the now, im todd walker. You can add south dakota and new york to the list of large fires. The fire center estimates 90,000 acres have burned so far by the fires that are currently active.

They thought he was born in afghanistan and is a naturalized us citizen, he said he was going to back off social media by now donald trump is taking his fight with the New York Times to twitter. The times reporting there has been fighting within his transition team, trump treated the failing New York Times is totally wrong on transition, it is going smoothly. Trump says he has spoken with many World Leaders and the times is upset they look like fools and their coverage of him. The New York Times stands by its story and says as of today the trump team has not delivered certifications and other documents needed for transition members. How donald trump interacts with the media is going to regenerating a lot of buzz over the next few years, last night assigned to cover him. Mike sacks explains why this impacts all of us. With all the other story surrounding Donald Trumps transition to the white house him going out to dinner with his family should not have made news but it did. Because he ditched his protective press pool. The protective pool is just in case something happens, in case something really huge happens in emergency pops off. The ap knows something about that. She was in the press pool with george w. Bush on 9 11. We went from being on a sunday to tuesday trip to florida, a trip where the president spent time with his brother, considerable downtime attached to it. To the most historic president ial pool in polls. The White House Correspondents Association jeff mason called this unacceptable and said the same thing after trump did not take a protective pool with him to his trip from and to dc last week. This is no surprise given his turbulent relationship with reporters during the campaign. Why should access matter now . The public moves of the top servant is americas business. For the American People to be aware physically come up here and watch their president every day or a press pool needs to be available to gethem the information. For the now, im mike sacks. The Radio TelevisionNews Association sent a letter to donald trump calling on him to commit on having a protective press pool in order to ensure openness and transparency. The press pool dates back to the Franklin Delano roosevelt have got a story a lot of people had a problem with. The mosaic sinkhole. He literally has stacks of emails they come. This is what i spent my day doing looking through these emails about 1000 documents. We got our hands on this. The communication between state leaders, the Governors Office the depart protection and mosaic executives , it will reveal some questions about how they were communicating and perhaps a lack of transparency. We will go into that at 5 30. That was the question many people were asking how did they not know it was happening. Tonight we will take a look at that. Lets just say this is an im laura harris. Im paul lagrone that is it for the now tampa bay live from the station taking action for you, this is abc action news.
