Ten candidates are on the stage this time, down from 12 at the debate in October. Juli¨¢n Castro, a former secretary of Housing and Urban Development, did not meet the party's qualification standards for this debate, and former Congressman Beto O'Rourke of Texas dropped out of the race.This debate arrives at a time of volatility in early-state polling. South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg faced increased scrutiny after a Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom poll showed him leading in Iowa, the first voting state. Former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign has suggested that he plans to use the debate to attack Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts over her position on health care. And Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont remains firmly in the top tier of national and state polls.The other candidates participating in the debate are Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, Sen. Kamala Harris of California, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, billionaire investor Tom Steyer and businessman Andrew Yang.Sanders on US health care spendingSen. Bernie Sanders said the US has a health care system "in which we spend twice as much as do the people of any other country."Facts First: This is not true. The US spent twice as much per capita on health care last year than the average for Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) countries, but not twice as much as every single one of the organization's 35 other members.At ,586 per capita in 2018, US spending was well over twice the 1538

The Humane Society of the United States went undercover, investigating animal testing at one of the largest contract research organizations in the world. Officials found dozens of beagles and hounds that were force-fed fungicides to test a new pesticide product at a lab in Michigan.The undercover video is hard to watch. "In some cases, the animals are forced to ingest substances either by putting a gel capsule down their throats or with a tube,¡± Kathleen Conlee, vice president of Animal Research Issues at the Humane Society of the United States, can be heard saying in the undercover video. For some, it¡¯s hard to fathom. However, Conlee says this kind of animal testing happens more often than we think. "There are about 60,000 dogs at about 350 facilities in the United States right now, and I think the public is very shocked to learn that it's at that scale,¡± Conlee says. And that's just dogs. Conlee explains when you factor in all animals, the number being used for testing is closer to 25 million per year. "That's warm-blooded animals that doesn't include fish, reptiles, amphibians," she explains. In this case out of Michigan, 36 beagles were being used to test pesticides for a company called Dow Chemical Company. It¡¯s a practice that is not against the law. "The company is doing legal activities,¡± Conlee says. ¡°Nothing illegal was happening." Often times, Conlee says federal agencies like the FDA and EPA request animal tests to approve products or provide funding for experiments. Most recently, the U.S.D.A. was under fire by a separate animal watchdog group for alleged "kitten cannibalism,¡± where they report experiments involving feeding kittens to dogs. These are practices Conlee says should stop."We're going to be calling on these agencies to change their practices,¡± she says. 1826

The judge in the case of a former Dallas police officer charged with murder in the death of Botham Jean, a 26-year-old black accountant, in his own apartment said Monday she intends to sequester the jury for the proceedings.District Judge Tammy Kemp's announcement came after attorneys for the former officer, Amber Guyger, informed the judge that Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot conducted an interview with a local television station Sunday night, despite a gag order in the case.In the interview, Creuzot spoke about how observers were "misinterpreting" the facts of the case and how murder was the appropriate charge for Guyger.Kemp was visibly annoyed and asked, "Let me be clear on last night: The evening prior to the start of this trial, our elected district attorney did an interview about this trial?" Defense lawyers confirmed he had.The judge asked a prosecutor whether he was aware of the interview, and he replied he'd been informed Monday morning. Kemp asked where Creuzot was, and the prosecutor said he hadn't spoken to the district attorney Monday."Hmm. Curious," Kemp said before calling a recess to examine the video.Guyger's defense team requested a mistrial, but when Kemp returned to the courtroom she said she would be sequestering the jury and interviewing them on whether they saw Creuzot's interview.Spectators turned awayGuyger arrived at the Frank Crowley Courts Building in the morning, and local clergy held a prayer vigil outside before Kemp began handling pretrial motions in the case.Interest in the case is high. A large crowd gathered outside the courtroom, unable to enter the 49-seat venue. One woman shouted, "This is an injustice," as would-be spectators were turned away.Pamela Grayson of Duncanville, southwest of Dallas, was particularly upset. She said she's always gotten along well with white people. She's studied hard, earning her doctorate, and never been in trouble with the law, but Jean's case "changed my life," she said."I always thought that if I did right that the police brutality wouldn't come my way," she continued, tears welling in her eyes. "I stand on my own two feet and I do right. Botham did that, and he's still dead. So now, I have no safety. How am I supposed to stop somebody from breaking into my home and killing me and getting away with it?"On September 6, 2018, Guyger fatally shot Jean in his apartment, saying she believed it was her unit, which was one floor below, police said.Guyger was indicted on the murder charge more than two months later. She has pleaded not guilty, and faces up to life in prison if convicted.The shooting sparked days of protests in Dallas and calls for the white officer to be charged. Civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump, one of the Jean family attorneys, said the shooting was another example of the threat of violence black people live with.'I thought it was my apartment'Guyger was off duty but still in uniform when she parked her car at the South Side Flats and walked to what she believed was her apartment, according to 3056

Taylor Swift is certainly not taking a literal interpretation of her single, "You Need to Calm Down."The singer got political during her 2019 MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech for video of the year, which she won for the pride-themed anthem, to call out the Trump administration's current lack of acknowledgment of the Equality Act petition for LGBTQ rights. A call to sign the petition was featured at the end of her video."It now has half a million signatures, which is five times the amount that it would need to warrant a response from the White House," Swift said, then looked at her wrist as if to gesture she was checking the time on a watch.She also suggested that elected officials against this and similar measures should be wary of a sea change because fans voted "You Need to Calm Down" as the category's winner."In this video several points were made, so you voting for this video means that you want a world, where we're all treated equally under the law," she said.Swift wasn't the only performer to get political at this year's VMAs. Rapper French Montana and "GLOW" star Alison Brie took a pro-immigration stance when they presented the award for best Latin music video.The Moroccan-born musician said he was proud to present the award as an immigrant, adding "I feel like we are the people that make this country, and I feel like I want to be the voice."CNN has reached out to the White House for a response to Swift's comments. 1465
