OF MARTIN LUTHER KING'S 1963
MARCH ON WASHINGTON MEANWILE,
A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S OFFICE TOLD US
THAT THE STATE WILL VIGOROUSLY
OPPOSE THE NEW MOTIONS .
>> ALL RIGHT, JENNIFER , THANKS
FOR KEEPING US UP TO DATE ON ALL
THOSE HAPPENINGS. NOW,
DEREK CHAUVN IS CURRENTLY IN A
HIGH SECURITY CELL AT THE OAK
PARK HEIGHTS PRISON. SENTENCING
IS SET FOR JUNE TWENTY BEFORE
HE FACES ANYWHERE BETWEEN 10
TO 40 YEARS IN PRISON. MORE THAN
A YEAR AFTER COVID-19 SHUT DOWN
OUR STATE, LIPSHUTZ RETURN TO A
BIT OF NORMAL. SO HERE'S THE
THREE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
THIS MORNING . GOVENOR WALSH
SAYS HE'LL ANNOUNCE PLANS
TO ROLL BACK STATEWIDE
RESTRICTIONS TOMORROW. IT COMES
AS LAWMAKERS STARE DOWN A MAY
17TH DEADLINE TO FINALIZE
THE STATE BUDGET AND REPUBLICANS
HAVE THREATENED TO VOTE DOWN
LARGE PARTS OF THAT BUDGET IF
THE GOVERNOR DOESN'T GIVE UP HIS
EMERGENCY POWERS. NOW THE WHITE
HOUSE IS HOPING TO ACCELERATE
THE RETURN TO NORMAL.
>> THIS SUMMER IS TO HAVE 70 %
OF ADULT AMERICANS, AT LEAST ONE
SHOT AND ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY
MILLION AMERICANS FULLY
VACCINATED. HIS PLAN INCLUDES
FOCUSING ON SMALL LOCAL
VACCINATION SITES AND EVEN
HANDING SHOTS OUT OF PLACES LIKE
PRO BASEBALL GAMES. NOW HERE IN
MINNESOTA, NEW COVID CASES
DROPPED BELOW THE ONE THOUSAND
MARK YESTERDAY. HOWEVER,
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE DYING FROM
THE VIRUS WAS BACK UP IN
THE DOUBLE DIGITS.
>> NOW HERE'S A LOOK AT TODAY'S
OTHER TOP STORIES IN YOUR
MORNING RUSH. A TWO YEAR OLD
GIRL IS SAFE AFTER BEING
ABDUCTED BY HER TWENTY SIX YEAR
OLD SISTER AND TAKEN TO NEW
YORK. POLICE SAY THE CHILD WAS
TAKEN MONDAY AFTERNOON.
YESTERDAY, NEW YORK
STATE TROOPERS PULLED OVER
A SPEEDING VEHICLE MATCHING
THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SUV
DRIVEN BY THE WOMAN. OFFICERS
FOUND THE TODDLER INSIDE THE CAR
UNHARMED.
UNHARMED.
UNHARMED. >> HER OLDER SISTER WAS ARRESTED
TODAY. THE MINNEAPOLIS CHARTER
COMMISSION WILL ONCE AGAIN TAKE
UP A PROPOSAL ON POLICE REFORM.
A CHARTER AMENDMENT WOULD PUT
THE POLICE UNDER A LARGER PUBLIC
SAFETY DEPARTMENT AND MAKE
THE POLICE CHIEF REPORT TO THE
COMMISSIONER. THAT MEETING
STARTS AT 4:00. THE MINNEAPOLIS
PARK AND RECREATION BOARD WANT
YOUR OPINION ON THE NEW BODY,
MCCASKILL PAVILION. LAST MONTH,
THE BOARD RELEASED THESE
NEW PHOTOS OF CONCEPTS TO MAKE
A NEW PAVILION WHERE THE LAKE
USED TO BE. THE RESTAURANT
BURNED DOWN IN TWENTY NINETEEN.
IF A CONCEPT IS APPROVED TODAY,
IT WILL BE SENT TO THE FULL
BOARD COMMISSIONERS LATER THIS
MONTH. THAT MEETING STARTS AT
SIX THIRTY AND BIG CONGRATS
TO ANTHONY EDWARDS.
THE TIMBERWOLVES GUARD WAS NAMED
NBA ROOKIE OF THE MONTH
OF APRIL. HE ALSO SCORED
THAT AWARD IN MARCH. HE'S BACK
ON
ON THE
ON THE COURT TONIGHT AT THE TARGET CENTER. AND THAT'S
YOUR WEDNESDAY MORNING RUSH
NORTHOME SIX OH AND SUNRISERS
LIVE TRACKING ALL OF THE
REACTION TO A HUGE HEADLINE MADE
YESTERDAY. STATE FAIR ORGANIZERS
ANNOUNCING A NEW EVENT AT
THE FAIRGROUNDS LATER THIS MONTH
WHEN UNFORTUNATELY NOT
EVERYONE'S HAPPY ABOUT IT.
THE KICKOFF TO THE SUMMER AT
THE FAIR, IT RUNS MAY TWENTY
SEVEN THROUGH THE 31ST.
IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT SMALLER,
BUT YOU CAN STILL ENJOY MANY
VALLEYFAIR FAVORITES, INCLUDING
MUSIC, SHOPPING, AND OF COURSE
ALL OF THE GREAT FAIUR FOOD
WE'RE TOLD IS GOING TO BE TWENTY
FOUR FOOD VENDORS, INCLUDING
SOME OF YOUR FAVORITES LIKE
SWEET MARTHA'S COOKIES AT PRONTO
PUBS AND MORE. AND UNLIKE LAST
YEAR'S FOOD PARADE, YOU CAN WALK
AROUND. THE REASON WE WANTED
TO HAVE THIS EVENT MAINLY WAS
TO TIDE PEOPLE OVER. IT'S BEEN
A WHILE SINCE WE'VE BEEN ABLE
TO MEET IN PERSON AND GATHER
TOGETHER. SO WE REALLY WANTED
TO GIVE PEOPLE THAT SLICE OF THE
FARE AND IN ADDITION, IT'S BEEN
A PRETTY TOUGH YEAR FOR THE
FAIUR FINANCIALLY. YEAH,
UNFORTUNATELY THEY LOST A LOT
OF MONEY LAST YEAR. NOW GETTING
A TICKET, THAT'S THE BIG THING.
THAT'S GOING TO BE TRICKY
FOR FOLKS. THERE'S SEVEN
TIMESLOTS JUST TEN THOUSAND
TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR EACH SLOT
AND IT'S A LOTTERY SYSTEM. SO
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SIGN
UP FOR A CHANCE TO BUY YOUR
TICKETS BY TOMORROW NIGHT AT
ELEVEN FIFTY NINE EACH TICKET.
TWELVE FIFTY IF YOU WANT TO TEXT
THE WORD FARE TO SEVEN SIX THREE
SEVEN NINE SEVEN SEVENTY
TO FIFTY. WE'RE GOING TO SEND
YOU A LINK WITH MORE DETAILS
AND A LINK TO GET THE ON
THAT LOTTERY SYSTEM NOW
SUNRISERS . YOU GUYS HAVE MIXED
REVIEWS ON THIS HANNAH. SHE'S SO
IN SHE'S EXCITED FOR THE KICKOFF
TO SUMMER. SHE SAYS SHE'S GOING
TO BE FULLY VACCINATED, SO SHE'S
ALL FOR IT. OTHERS LIKE DONALD
HERE THINK THAT THEY SHOULD ONLY
ALLOW THOSE WHO ARE FULLY
VACCINATED INTO THE FAIRGROUNDS.
THEN THERE'S A LOT OF COMMENTS.
I SAW YOU GUYS LIKE THIS ONE
WONDERING WHY OTHER EVENTS HELD
AT THE FAIRGROUNDS LIKE
THE POPULAR BACK TO THE FIFTIES
CAR SHOW HAD TO BE CANCELED ONCE
AGAIN THIS YEAR. IF THE FAIUR
GETS TO HAVE THIS EVENT ADDED,
WHY CAN'T THEY HAVE BACK TO THE
FIFTIES? THAT'S WHAT A LOT
OF THEM WERE ASKING. AND THEN
WE SAW THIS QUESTION FROM A LOT
OF OUR VIEWERS. NIKKI RAY
BROOTEN, DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE
STATE WAS REALLY HAPPENING THIS
YEAR? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
WE DON'T REALLY KNOW PLANS
FOR AUGUST JUST JUST YET.
GOVERNOR TIM WALZ DID SAY
RECENTLY THAT THE STATE HERE
COULD LOOK PRETTY CLOSE
TO NORMAL THIS YEAR. AND FAIUR
ORGANIZERS HAVE TOLD US
THAT THEY'VE BEEN MOVING FORWARD
WITH PLANNING FOR THE END
OF AUGUST. SO AS OF RIGHT NOW,
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ALL A GO.
BUT I'M THINKING YOU GUYS AT
THIS MINI FAIR IS KIND OF A TEST
RUN FOR TYPE OF LOTTERY SYSTEM
DOWN THE ROAD.
>> WHO KNOWS? IT MAKES SENSE.
I MEAN, YEAH, THEY'RE GOING
TO END. LET ME SEVENTY THOUSAND
PEOPLE ON THE FAIRGROUNDS,
THE TEN SESSIONS OR SEVEN
SESSIONS THERE.
SESSIONS THERE. >> SO COULD BE QUITE A NUMBER
OF PEOPLE. YEAH. ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, FELICIA. GUY, OVER
TO YOU WITH ONE THING WEATHER
HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY
RUNNING NEAR TEN DEGREES BELOW
AVERAGE. YOU COULD SEE THE BLUE
CONTOURS SHOWING WHERE THOSE
COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL BE.
>> WE'LL START OFF WITH SOME
SUNSHINE TODAY WITH AFTERNOON
SHOWERS AHEAD. PLANNING AHEAD.
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO DO,
ESPECIALLY WITH THE WEEKEND
MEHRING CLOSER. NINETY
FOUR EASTBOUND IS GOING TO BE
CLOSE BETWEEN BROOKLYN BOULEVARD
AND HIGHWAY ONE HUNDRED KICKING
OFF FRIDAY AT 10:00. WRAPPING
UP MONDAY AT FIVE. YOU'RE
GETTING AN INFLUX OF SPAM
AND SCAM TEXT .
>> YOU'RE NOT ON YOUR PHONE,
YOU'RE NOT ALONE. YEAH, THAT'S
ME. AND SO LIZ MCLAUGHLIN SHOWS
US WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ALL
THOSE ANNOYING MESSAGES AND HOW
THEY GOT YOUR NUMBER.
>> SPAM TEXTS ARE BLOWING
UP PHONES IN RECORD NUMBERS.
AMERICANS RECEIVED A STAGGERING
SEVEN POINT FOUR BILLION SPAM
TEXTS IN MARCH, NEARLY 40 % MORE
THAN THE MONTH BEFORE, ACCORDING
TO SPAM APP ROBOKILLER. THERE'S
NO EXPLANATION FOR THE BIG JUMP,
BUT MANY ARE PHISHING SCAMS.
GETTING YOUR LOGIN INFORMATION
IS REALLY VALUABLE FOR SCAMMERS.
>> BAD GUYS SEEING MORE SUCCESS
WITH A TACTIC CALLED
SPEARPHISHING PERSONALIZING
SPEARPHISHING PERSONALIZING MESSAGES, USING INFORMATION SUCH
AS YOUR NAME, JOB OR A SERVICE
YOU USE. THOSE KIND OF THINGS
BROUGHT TOGETHER A LOT
SPEARPHISHING TO BE MUCH MORE
INSIDIOUS BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY
ACTS ON SOMETHING. IT'S RELEVANT
TO THE PERSON IT'S TARGETING.
INFORMATION NOW EASIER
FOR SCAMMERS TO FIND AS HACKERS
BUILD DATABASES, SKIMMING FROM
SOCIAL MEDIA, PUBLIC RECORDS
AND DATA LEAKS.
>> WE ARE SEEING SOME FRAUDULENT
SCHEMES EMERGE FROM HAVING ALL
THE DATA IN ONE PLACE IN A WAY
THAT ATTACKERS CAN USE IT.
RECENTLY, SECURITY FIRM HUDSON
ROC FLAGGED A NEW DATABASE
ON THE HACKER SITE WITH 533
MILLION FACEBOOK USERS.
INFORMATION ORIGINALLY LEAKED
IN TWENTY NINETEEN NOW EASILY
SEARCHABLE WITH NAMES,
BIRTHDAYS, PHONE NUMBERS
