Speaker 1 00:00:08 Good morning and welcome to the daily cat w and Yoris daily news brief. I'm your host party, proud Hahn with a few things you need to know today. It's 9:00 AM central on Friday, January 28. Evanson has seen a 35% decline in positive COVID-19 cases in the last week with the reported 477 positive cases in the last seven days as compared to last weeks, 740 positive cases. This week, Northwestern has accounted for 181 of those positive cases. This follows a steadily declining trend, not just in Evanston, but in cook county and Illinois as a whole members of the indigenous community at Northwestern have stated that the university is far behind its peer institutions. When it comes to indigenous student enrollment on a Thursday panel, this calls for a push to administration to increase the amount of indigenous initiatives at the university to make it a more equitable environment for both current and prospective indigenous students, mayor Lightfoot 2020 order to remove all Columbus statues has received some pushback with the joint civic of Italian-Americans committee, filing a lawsuit against Chicago park district for the removal of a Columbus statue in little Italy, the Italian Americans committee has a crusted that Lightfoot be called as a defendant for the trial. Speaker 1 00:01:32 As the dispute continues an 11 year old boy was tarnished for an armed carjacking in Chicago, allegedly him and a group of other males stole an SUV from two women at gunpoint in November, he was arrested and charged as a juvenile on Wednesday. Authorities are still investigating to find the others involved. One of the police officers involved in the killing of Brianna Taylor, Brett Hankinson is facing trial. Hankinson was not charged for Taylor shooting, but is facing three lower level charges for firing his weapon rashly into Taylor's neighbor's apartments. The two other officers who fired the shots that fatally struck Taylor were not charged. Harrison's lower level charges have sparked anger and incited protests. As many believe it is unjust that he was not charged for Taylor's death. That's all for today's daily cat live from WMUR news. I'm see you tomorrow.
