City prosecutor Howard Gwynn tells wtkr in Norfolk. We do not believe the loss supports charging and convicting a 6 year old with aggravated assault.

We are always reviewing our operations to make sure that the residents of the district are getting the best service possible.

D.C. mayor muriel Bowser is withdrawing her nomination of karima Holmes to lead the district's troubled 9-1-1 call center. This happens one day before the city council was set to vote on whether to confirm her. Holmes was under pressure because of problems over the years with the 9-1-1 call center with folks from EMS not getting to places in time because of botched calls and there had been cases where some people died as a result.

"Won't be confirmed again. Kareem Holmes has not been held in high regard by the council. Since her first stint at the office of unified communications. Her first stint ended early last year, a few months ago, she was nominated for a second stint. But throughout her first tenure, and this year while she's been interim director, the office has been plagued by deadly mistakes. Just this year a newborn died after paramedics were sent to the wrong address, another man died after waiting 11 minutes for an ambulance to be dispatched when he was having a heart attack. We get it right the majority of the time. Today Holmes defended herself in her agents. He's performance. Our complaint rate, our air rate is under .001% literally. And we try and do our best. We are not perfect. But mendelssohn says the mayor should nominate someone else. In southeast D.C. John dome in WTO P news. Now a follow-up to a story WTO has been spearheading from the start. It's all about the troubled D.C. crime lab. The city's auditor says internal oversight practices at the lab were broken and ineffective long before the lab lost its accreditation last year.

The report is out just ahead of the D.C. council's first vote coming up Tuesday on a bill overhauling the forensic agency. The lab lost its accreditation to do all forensic casework last year and has not been able to process evidence since then and has been outsourcing DNA, guns, and other evidence to outside labs.

The repeated instances of blown addresses, the failure to relay update information to responding personnel, the delay dispatches them, the hemorrhaging use of leave by employees.

"Urgency on our national commitment to put an end to hunger and malnutrition due to poverty in America. The Nixon conference issued 1800 recommendations. 1600 were implemented within two years. Directly coming out of that conference, we now have a wick program. The women infants and children program that serves half the babies born in this country with food and nutrition education and health services. That Stacey dean, the top nutrition official at USDA. She said the conference helped launch official dietary guidelines. It was also the launching point for programs that help families like food stamps and school meals. The first conference was really focused on addressing poverty. Now, in the shadow of a pandemic, this conference is more focused on health. We saw during COVID right the increased incidence and mortality rates for those who are struggling with diet related disease who contracted COVID, and so I think there is a huge opportunity because of public interest focused awareness on both helping our neighbors in need and also being making sure that our children are healthier and have stronger brighter futures. The White House is bringing together hundreds of people tomorrow, including lawmakers, cabinet members, and nonprofit leaders. They want to talk about proposals to expand food stamps, put nutrition labels on the front of packages, and have Medicare experiment with coverage for medically tailored meals.

Conference leaders then argued that low income people did participate in panels and were consulted. This time, the Biden administration has said that people with quote lived experiences will inform and attend the event. Advocates like Jordan Teague interim director for policy analysis at bread for the world want to see those who have experienced hunger and poverty given a larger voice. You know, it's one thing to get together and imagine how to solve hunger from D.C., but it's another thing entirely to really include and pull the experiences and resources and knowledge from living with day to day.
