DEPUTIES SAY THE CLIP HIS ATTORNEY GAVE US DOESN'T SHOW THE WHOLE STORY.

ALLEGED LAW ENFORCEMENT BRUTALITY-LL PKG

This is where that arrest happened after 22 year old mateo falconi led deputies on a high speed chase back in october. today falconi shared a portion of the dash cam video that he says shows deputies brutally beating him for no reason.

Vo:

22 year old mateo falconi says he was surrendering-- his hands in the air-- when deputy robert lewis punched him in the face and tackled him to the ground.

Nats

Dash cam video shows lewis putting a gun to falconis head-- threatening to kill him.

Nats

He and other deputies punch falconi over and over-- even taze him, while he begs not to be beaten.

Map:

Falconi had just led deputies on a high speed chase through collier county-- spanning about 6 miles and reaching speeds of 110 miles per hour.

vo:

In a collier county sheriffs office report written by the arresting deputy-- lewis tells a different story. Explaining the force was necessary because falconi resisted arrest. Lewis says falconi didn't listen to demands to get on the ground-- so drew his gun, hit falconi in chest and pushed him to the ground. He says falconi continued to struggle-- even putting his hand underneath his torso like he was reaching for something-- so lewis tazed falconi in the back before handcuffing him.

The sheriffs office says they cant discuss the incident because of the pending criminal case against falconi but say the:

Ss:

"Deputy's actions appear to be justified and in line with CCSO policy."

No weapon found on falconi.

church into uncertainty.

Speaking in Latin before a group of cardinals.the 85-yr-old pontiff said

he was no longer strong enough to fulfill his duties. saying in order for

which in the last few months has deteiorated in me."

I have to be honest, I am as shocked and as startled as all of you

john weaver.

we expect them to be in office the whole time and its remarkable to me that

in this day and age that he would step down."

remarkable and shocking, because no Pope has stepped down for six centuries.

the decision is being hailed as historic and a potential game-changer for

the papacy - making it okay to resign.

Now more than a billion catholics world wide are left wondering who their

next leader will be.

rev john wauck - u.s. priest opus dei - at the vatican

"the question many people have is where do they come from? what countries?

is going to be an italian pope after two non-italian popes or a latin

american pope given there are so many catholics in latin American"

a conclave to elect a new pope will begin by mid-march, in time for easter.

Possible successors include Cardinal Angelo Scola of Milan; Cardinal Marc

Ouellet of Canada and Cardinal Leonardo Sandri of Argentina and - all are

younger than Pope Benedict was when he became the oldest ever elected

Pontiff at 78.

FORECAST-PHC

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FORECAST-WXWALL

MIXED BAG OF WEATHER THIS WEEK

We are now eleven days into February, but you wouldn't know it by stepping outside. A nearly insurmountable area of high pressure continues to send our highs into the low 80s. When you take those 80s and mix in a little sunshine… It feels more like April.

There is no need to worry if you enjoy cooler weather. Everything changes and so too will this warm spell. That high pressure responsible for our above average February will finally weaken, and we will pick up some much needed rainfall and cooler temperatures. Just be patient.

These changes will not occur overnight. In fact the adjustments to our forecast will take several days to be seen and felt.

We'll start it like this - the first half of this week will be great. Mostly sunny skies and temperatures near 84 are expected. The only concern for Tuesday and Wednesday is a chance for dense fog. That could be an imminent threat as you head out the door early in the morning.

Big changes take place Wednesday night into Thursday as a weak front stalls over central Florida. That will keep our skies cloudy and give us a chance for afternoon showers. We're rewarded for going through a gloomy end to the week though. The air behind this front is cool and crisp! Highs Friday through Monday will barely be in the 70s and lows could drop as far down as 39 by Monday.

FORECAST-PHC

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FORECAST-WXWALL

MIXED BAG OF WEATHER THIS WEEK

We are now eleven days into February, but you wouldn't know it by stepping outside. A nearly insurmountable area of high pressure continues to send our highs into the low 80s. When you take those 80s and mix in a little sunshine… It feels more like April.

There is no need to worry if you enjoy cooler weather. Everything changes and so too will this warm spell. That high pressure responsible for our above average February will finally weaken, and we will pick up some much needed rainfall and cooler temperatures. Just be patient.

These changes will not occur overnight. In fact the adjustments to our forecast will take several days to be seen and felt.

We'll start it like this - the first half of this week will be great. Mostly sunny skies and temperatures near 84 are expected. The only concern for Tuesday and Wednesday is a chance for dense fog. That could be an imminent threat as you head out the door early in the morning.

Big changes take place Wednesday night into Thursday as a weak front stalls over central Florida. That will keep our skies cloudy and give us a chance for afternoon showers. We're rewarded for going through a gloomy end to the week though. The air behind this front is cool and crisp! Highs Friday through Monday will barely be in the 70s and lows could drop as far down as 39 by Monday.

ROMANCE SCAMS-PKG

SO, WE ALL NOW KNOW HOW TREACHEROUS IT CAN BE. TO LOOK FOR LOVE ONLINE.

. AND ALL ABOUT THE RISKS INVOLVED IN DIGITAL ROMANCE. OR DO WE?

"This kind of thing happens every day.happens all the time and it's easier to fall for than most people realize"

PEOPLE ARE FALLING FOR IT SO MUCH. THE U-S ARMY JUST POSTED ANOTHER NATIONWIDE ALERT.

.FOR SINGLE WOMEN IN PARTICULAR.ABOUT CYBERCROOKS POSING AS COMBAT SOLDIER OVERSEAS.

THE CROOKS STEAL THE IDENTITY. EVEN PHOTOS. OF REAL SERVICEMEN. EVENTUALLY ASKING THE UNSUSPECTING VICTIM TO SEND MONEY TO EASE THE PAIN OF WAR.

"There's a whole spectrum of lying or deceiving when it comes into online dating"

NBC NEWS-DOT-COM TECH WRITER BOB SULLIVAN SAYS IT'S MORE PERVASIVE THESE DAYS BECAUSE THE SCAMMERS HAVE GOTTEN SAVVY.

"They try out a story on a victim, if victim doesn't fall for it, they adjust their story for victim 2, adjust for victim 3"

MOST OF THE 19,000 MEMBERS OF ROMANCESCAMS-DOT-ORG. ARE VICTIMS WHO'VE LOST AT LEAST 15-MILLION DOLLARS TO ROMANCING SCAMMERS.

WHICH SULLIVAN SAYS YOU CAN AVOID. BY ESTABLISHING ONLINE RELATIONSHIPS ONLY WITH THOSE WHO LIVE NEARBY.

.AND ASKING. EARLY ON. FOR A FACE TO FACE MEETING.

"But don't have an extended relationship with someone when there's no prospect for you to see them in person"
