[applause] q: for months, the sioux nation asked that the $3.7 billion project be sc support grew. as did the makeshift city. even celebrities slept in the cold to show solidarity. >> we have never known a time when nonnative american allies from around the country, around the world have come here in the dead of winter to stand with us. q: they are convinced the pipeline carrying crude oil under the missouri river would >> too much of a risk for the sacred sites all along the route in area. too much of a risk to us as a planet. q: energy partners responded saying it's a political move by the obama administration that won't stop the pipeline from going under the river. adding the latest decision changes nothing. with that, the celebrations could be short-lived. here is why it will be short-lived. the building, the builders are under the impression that trump's administration takes over, that yesterday's decision will be overturned, which mean the people that live in this camp are not going anywhere soon. we also found out that in the past, trump has invested with this builder. it is unclear if he still owns the shares. back to you. larry: thank you. tomorrow the city's police department is only going to let vehicles with even numbered license plates on the up around the city to try and stop any odd numbers that try to get through. public transportation will be free all day. the goal is to cut ein addition half and therefore cut down on pollution. alison: a new study in today's "journal nature climate change" wants to know if you are ready for rain, and a lot of it one day?
