We'll have an update on Reverend Jesse Jackson's condition after being hospitalized for a fall on Howard's campus.

President Biden announces his vision to tackle the climate crisis. We'll take a look at his plan to reduce methane emissions by 30-percent by the year 2030. An Alabama judge is no longer on the bench after asking a black man if he was a drug dealer when one of his staffers purchased a new car.
