3. UNITY RALLY IS FRANCE’S LARGEST IN HISTORY PARIS (AP) — Masses of people joined with world leaders to fill Paris streets Sunday in a rally for unity that officials said was the largest demonstration in French history. Hundreds of thousands more marched in cities around the country and the world to repudiate a three-day terror spree around the French capital that killed 17 people and left the three gunmen dead. Their arms linked, more than 40 world leaders headed the somber procession,
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — President Barack Obama proposed Friday to bring the cost of two years of community college “down to zero” for all Americans, an ambitious nationwide plan based on a popular Tennessee program signed into law by that state’s Republican governor. However, the idea and its $60 billion federal price tag over 10 years would have to make the grade with a Republican Congress that is showing little appetite for big new spending programs. Obama, who plans to push the issue in his Jan. 20 State of the Union address, argued that providing educational opportunity and creating a more skilled U.S. workforce shouldn’t be a partisan issue. The White House estimated that 9 million students could eventually participate and save an average of $3,800 in tuition per year if they attend full-time. Students would qualify if they attend at least halftime, maintain a 2.5 GPA and make progress toward completing a degree or certificate program.
setting aside their differences for a demonstration that French President François Hollande said turned the city into “the capital of the world.” Millions of people streamed through the streets behind them and across France to mourn the victims of deadly attacks on a satirical newspaper, a kosher supermarket and police officers — violence that tore deep into the nation’s sense of wellbeing in a way some compared to Sept. 11 in the United States.

2. PENCE TO GIVE THIRD STATE OF STATE SPEECH INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When Mike Pence climbs the Indiana House rostrum on Tuesday evening to give his third State of the State speech as governor, he’ll surely tout his proposals for boosting the state’s charter school and school voucher programs and what he says is state government’s excellent fiscal health. Many ears also will be listening for clues about whether he’s heading toward entering the campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

Pence maintains he won’t make a decision until after the General Assembly’s session ends in late April. But he has stoked talk of a White House run with his recent actions that have won praise from social conservatives. Pence said last week he would talk during his State of the State about what he hopes will be an “education session” of the Legislature and released what he called a “thrifty” state budget proposal that’s projected to maintain a nearly $2 billion state reserve.
ATLANTA (AP) — The Transportation Security Administration is considering additional security measures for airport and airline employees, federal officials said Thursday. The announcement from the Department of Homeland Security came weeks after five people were arrested in a gunsmuggling operation involving passenger jets traveling between Atlanta and New York City. One of those arrested was a Delta baggage handler and ramp agent
who worked at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Additional security measures could include enhanced airline-employee screenings, random security checks and additional TSA and law enforcement patrols in secure areas, officials said. The Aviation Security Advisory Committee has also been asked to review the security of airports nationwide to identify all potential ways Homeland Security can address airport security vulnerabilities.
5. NEW YORK LIBRARY LENDS FREE INTERNET TO POOR NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Public Library is launching the nation’s largest Internet lending program, handing out 10,000 free high-speed hot spots to some of the city’s poorest residents. The program — which offers the devices for up to a year — seeks to bridge a digital divide in the nation’s largest city, where studies have found nearly 3 million people lack broadband access.
“It is simply unfathomable that ... onethird of New Yorkers do not have access to broadband Internet at home ...” said Anthony Marx, president of the New York Public Library. Mobile Beacon, a nonprofit national provider of low-cost Internet services, is working with Sprint to distribute the hot spots to library branches across New York City’s five boroughs.
