, the east coast. >> michael, what did you want to add? >> interestingly, during the war when fans would show up the same as before the first pitch was thrown, there would be an announcement made about how to evacuate a stadium. yankee stadium had arrows pointed to hoses and buckets of sand, and the players were instructed, while the fans vac waited, they were to continue to play and to be soldiers during an air raid on their stadium. so they were ready for anything. >> right. the 1943 yanklands gamey rif i referred to earlier, there is an evacuation plan on the back of that program. >> don dimaggio spent three years in the navy and injured his eye. why have they not put him in cooperstown where he belongs? >> certainly one of the greatest advocates for don's inclusion into the hall of fame was ted. ted often lobbied for dominic. but i think -- you know, certainly a number of players lost prime years of their career. i loved dominic dimaggio as a player. i think in any kind of objective analysis of his career numbers, he probably -- he pro

he had been following closely what was going on on the east coast, empowered by the mayor, and he puts on significant closure policies rapidly. and the proactive rapid closure process that happens in st. louis and their long duration helps to explain the difference in the two curves. here is another way of looking at it. you can look at how september 28th, right when the parade happens, and there is an enormous uptick that comes after that. st. louis, which was handling it well, has a much more prolonged duration, but it is so much lower and widely considered a success. but one of the things to think about is how this will operate for us all in the fall, when there is likely to be a second wave, just around the corner, or perhaps even in the winter or spring. there are usually three waves to the influenza pandemic, and we are looking at going into a second wave now, you might argue, assuming we never ended the first, in the u.s. that is. what happened in other cities, what can we learn from them, what the insights are, in st. louis, denver, pittsburgh, similar phenomenon. in new york,

and by christmas eve, it's hitting the east coast. behind the system is very cold air. windchills early on christmas eve will drop below zero in the upper midwest. denver will feel like 10 degrees. 26 for dallas. looking at today's high temperatures, 70 in dallas, even warmer across the southwest and the northeast will be warming up for some melting snow. >>> coming up, the best movie of 2020 according to film critics groups. >>> also ahead, hear from the teenagers who formed a human chain to rescue children who fell through ice on a pond. >>> but first a developing story, a man described as a pedophile advocate is accused of flying across the country to kidnap a girl. how he was finally arrested. is absolutely perfect! and that inspired our perfect diaper. our softest yet with trusted protection. huggies special delivery now roomba vacuums exactly where you need it. hey google, tell roomba to vacuum the kitchen counter. and offers personalized cleaning suggestions for a clean unique to you and your home. roomba and the irobot home app. only from irobot. oh what fun it

coast and also a high wind watch for winds gusting up to about 60 miles per hour on the east coast. so here's the storm system. today it's mostly snow across the upper midwest, including minnesota and iowa. here you see the rain starting to develop back through the midwest as we go into tonight and tomorrow so it's mostly rain on christmas eve. we are looking for snow to wrap around on the back side of this, especially on the great lakes. and up and down the east coast up into new england with snow, especially lake-effect snow on the back side. we could see 1 to 3 inches of rain on top of the snow that is still melting across the northeast. this means rivers will rise rapidly. we could also see some flooding along some of the streets that aren't draining as well, so that's why we do have that flood potential. as for that white christmas, i think areas especially back through minnesota and into wisconsin, northwestern iowa is where we could see several inches of snow, but also along the great lakes we could see 9 to 12 inches of snow with that lake-effect snow. these would be your ar

it's 5:30 here on the east coast. 2:30 out west. i'm kasie hunt. on tuesday, both donald trump and joe biden held competing events on the coronavirus. and you will not be surprised to learn that they were very different. trump spent his time congratulating himself for developing a vaccine and claiming that life is going to be back to normal soon, despite the significant challenges involved with distributing the vaccine. biden, meanwhile, used his time to emphasize that we're not going to get out of this quickly. and to lay out his 100-day plan. >> everyone for the first hundred days of my administration to wear a mask. it when start with my signing a order on day one to require a mask where i can under the law, like federal buildings, interstate travel on planes, trains and buses. secondly, this team, this team will help get at the last 100 million covid vaccines, at least 100 million covid vaccine shots in the arms of american people in the first 100 day. 100 million shots in the first 100 days. the third thing i'm going to ask in 100 days, it sho

you know, we were travelling across the east coast of new south wales, where some of the areas were badly hit last summer, and the one thing that people tell you is that when you get days like today — when it is hot and windy — it almost triggers something in you, it triggers the memories of what happened, the trauma of what happened and even though the conditions this summer are different, we are told, from different reports, that we won't maybe have the big, huge, uncontrollable bushfires that were really, really high — high as some buildings on different occasions — that it is going to be more grass fires for this summer. still a great deal of nervousness about what is to come, especially if the hot conditions continue to, you know, continue through the summer. all you need then is dry land and really strong winds and a spark to get things out of control. shaimaa khalil. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: sticking their neck out — the conservationists rescuing a group of stranded giraffes in kenya. john lennon was shot at the entrance to the dakota building in the centr
