cases. she got this data from the police chief that shows in the last quarter of 2020 of the 131 felony domestic violence cases da's office did not file charges in 113 of those cases. >> which is very ng to me. it was very surprising she's introducing legislation tuesday that would require law enforcement to provide monthly data on domestic violence cases. we're not going to have criminal justice reform. >> if people continue to commit crimes and they are not held accountable and they are not charged if you let them go over and over again. they're going to reoffend and they're not going to get to direct a door into the services they need to make sure they're not stuck in the criminal justice system. williams is set to enter a plea in the death of the baby on tuesday. >> the da's office says they are not second guessing their decision to drop the earlier cases against williams. in

is joining us live now from the nation's capital and anna, the results. obviously the concern for both sides. but particularly democrats is the shift in our that the census numbers could break. >> good evening. that's absolutely right. based on the new data that was released just a few hours ago, 6 states will actually gain a seat in the u.s. house of representatives like you said, texas is going to gain 2 seats and then the states like north colorado, montana. and oregon will all gain one seat. but this is very important as we go forward because like you said, it does determine the balance of power in washington. but also it decides how much money states will receive from the federal government. >> the u.s. census bureau released new numbers on monday revealing the most up to date headcount for every person living in the country. the number of people living in the united states was 331 million,

449,200, an 81. the bureau's acting director says 6 states will gain congressional seats, including texas, which is set to game 2. on the other hand, 3 states lost population was with west virginia having the largest rate of decrease with the seats in the house of representatives fixed at 435 other states will lose power. democrats have a razor thin majority right now. and so they're going to be holding on for dear life trying to keep those seats. >> in democratic hands doctor casey berg it with the george washington university says states will also use these numbers to redraw their congressional districts. a lot can change that. tail winds can change the economy literally anything. not to mention we're coming out of a global pandemic. so everything's up in the air right now to the new number of congressional seats for each state will take effect for the 2022 elections. >> and 7 states are set to lose a seat in the u.s. house of representatives, including new york. and just to put into

perspective just how important it is to get an accurate count. the census bureau did say today that if new york had 89 more people. they would have actually gained a seat live in washington. i'm anna wiernicki. back to you. thank you, anna. >> the department of justice is investigating another police department over a deadly shooting. this time the louisville police department in kentucky over the death of breonna taylor. >> 26 year. taylor was shot and killed in her apartment back in march of last year. police had entered her apartment on walk warrant and exchanged gunfire with taylor's boyfriend who saw the officers were intruders. the department of justice plans to see if there's any pattern or practice of unconstitutional or unlawful police procedures in louisville. kentucky jury indicted. one of the officers. brett hankison for firing into a neighbor's apartment during the raid. his trial is set to begin next year. doj is also investigating the minneapolis police department after the death of george floyd.

one of the runways is under construction will be closed all summer long. kron four's noelle bellow has a look at how that could affect your travel plans. >> this is our longest runway. it's almost 12,000 feet long as of monday runway 28 right at san francisco international airport is officially closed for the next 4 months. crews will be repaving the surface layer constructing 2 new taxiways and improving lighting infrastructure on the runway. this is what we would call routine runways that gets used as much as ours do need to be repaid about every 8 to 10 years. and so we were coming due for to 8. right. and as you said, we were slated to do this project next year. but because of the reduced flight activity. >> we decided to accelerate the project even with an uptick in travel over the last month as cfo spokesperson doug yakel says airlines are still just operating at about 50%. >> of their pre pandemic. flight schedules. but the pace may soon pick up on monday.

the european union announced officials are completing plans to allow americans back for leisure travel this summer. but timing all depends on the course of the pandemic. we know that with every country that starts reopening airlines are immediately going to follow suit with what they fly. this closure. will that have a big impact international travel. >> most likely it because although we might see some flight schedule increases over the course of the next 4 months. it's probably not going to be significant enough to cause any type of impact. that is different than what we might experience today during this project. those day to day impacts include delays for both arriving and departing flights. >> flights during the 05:00pm to 08:00pm window of time are the ones that are most likely to be impacted. >> and in that case is probably delays running anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes in duration. all of the construction work is expected to be done by labor day in the newsroom. noelle bellow kron 4
