And we begin with the search for answers in virginia after a tv reporter and cameraman were killed this morning. The gunman was vester flanagan, a former colleague of wdbj in roanoke, and he shot himself after killing them. Whats the latest . Reporter tony, good to see you as well, and good evening, and the latest, within the past few minutes, we have learned that the alleged shooter, vester flanagan, allegedly used a 9millimeter bloch pistol to carry out the shootings this morning at the plaza, and were told that he legally purchased the weapon back in july, according to his simple manifesto, which was released two hours after the killings. He said that he bought the gun two days after the shootings in charlton, South Carolina. The thing, tony, you have to remember that this is a very small community. Were in the town of monita. And its a Small Television station as well. So Alison Parker and adam wards work is known here, and the deaths are beginning to resident may. 6 25 p. M. , they were at work on the air, be live. And they never saw it coming. The pair gunned down while interviewing vicky garner, who was also shot and wounded. Back at the studio, confusion. Okay, not sure what happened there, and well let you know as soon as we find out what the sounds were from. Shock and heartbreak staffers came to grips with the reality that they just witnessed the murder of their coworkers. Were all in shock here, and you can hear the people in the newsroom crying. Its really hard to even comp held. The stations general manager confirmed the stunning news. I can not tell you how much they were loved. Allison and adam, by the wdbj7 team. And our hearts are broken, and our sympathies to the entire staff here. But also to the parents and family of allison and adam, who were just out doing their job today. Reporter the goodbye man revealed himself to be vester flanagan, a former reporter of wdbj7, who was fired in 2013. Eventually, after many incidents of his anger coming to the fore, we dismissed him, and he did not take that well. We had to call the police to escort him from the building. Reporter flanagan even posted a video that appears to show him walking up to the rims and opening fire. And aljazeera has chosen to show only this one minimal. A clearer picture of his motives began to appear. The alleged gunman sent a manifesto of sorts to wdbj7 news. He said that he bought a gun two days after the shootings in South Carolina, and he writes about the gunman who killed 12 in 1999. And he said he was the victim of bullying and discrimination, based on race and sexual orientation. This goes to show where the gentlemans mind was the day before, or what was taking place. There was forethought given as who what happened. Reporter the Police Caught up with flanagan after a highspeed chase, which ended in this field. I existed my vehicle with several others. And approached the vehicle. What did you find. Selfinflicted gunshot wound. This is what happens when you have gun violence, and in the last minutes, we heard from the president of the United States who has been talking to a philadelphia station. And he said it breaks my heart, gun deaths related to terrorists. There will be a vigil at a local church to remember the lives and the work of alison and adam. John, appreciate it, thank you. And there are new questions tonight about whether Real Progress is being made against isil. The pentagon is looking into an allegation. To make it appear that the campaign is going better than it actually is. Jamie mcintyre, thats a serious always, right . Particularly when you consider intelligence is really more art than science. Thats right, tony. Intelligence is am gig with us and inconclusive. But it was described as the cia director as a slam dunk, but now looking into whether some of the intelligence analysis was colored so that the Obama Administration would be told what it wants to hear. The question is, when president obama makes announcements like this, is he really working off of the best intelligence . Isils recent losses in syria and iraq shows that they can be defeated. Theyre weighing whether intelligence provided that the president was distorted, citing unnamed officials, saying that the pentagons unnamed Inspector General looked into the central manneds reworking of intelligence assessments. To provide a more on the motive account of progress. It was flawed intelligence about the existence of weapons of mass destruction that were used to support the invasion of iraq in 2003, and no such weapons were found. During the vietnam war, pessimistic assessments, arguing for the installation of military force. More recently, u. S. Central command briefers have provided on the motive assessments about progress with isil, which have been proven wrong. In february, told reporters, the offensive to retake mosul could begin as early as april of this year. And it seems to be a year away at best. And then this flawed assessment about the situation in ramadi during a pentagon brief. In iraq and syria, attempting to hold previous gains, and localized small harassing attacks, and highprofile attacks, in order to seize information and their propaganda apparatus. It turns out that isil was not on the offensive. And at that very moment, ramadi was falling, and iraqi forces holding the city were being routed. Intelligence is never perfect, and policymakers take that into account as they try to stay clear eyed about the progress during the war. Im confident that well defeat isil. Its hard work, and its difficult work. I think that we have the right strategy. The argument that isil is losing, the administration is quite to cite the number of airstrikes that have been conducted, or the number of square miles of territory that isil is losing, but theres a strict debate in the Intelligence Community about what it all means. One assessment concluded that after a year of bombing, isil was essentially no weaker, and that the war was basically a stalemate. The Central Command welcomes the independent oversight of the independent Inspector General. And its a collaboration process that rise on multiple sources, and that way no single opinion or report should unduly influence policymakers. Jamie, thank you, the pentagon says that two u. S. Soldiers were killed in the socalled insider attack. In southern afghanistan, a man wearing a nato uniform opened fire on a compound and others returned fire, wounding the soldier and another afghanistan soldier, no one was claimed responsibility for that attack. The debate on Immigration Reform is dominating the president ial election as you know. Changing the ban to birthright citizenship, and a wall around all of t last night, long time anchor, jorge ramos, wanted answers, and donald trump refused to answer him. I have the right to ask a question. Sit down, you werent called. Sit down, sit down, go ahead. No you dont, you havent been called. Go back to univision. Okay, so lets bring in the former president of the National Association of hispanic journalists, and give me your reaction to the back and forth that you heard between ramos and donald trump. Every time i see it, i cringe, its deplorable and disgraceful and demeaning, and i think its a missed opportunity i think for the republican candidate to do as he has been said he wants to do in embracing the latino community. Deplorable and i cringe, and why dont the other candidates running in this nominating contest, why dont they use language like that . Reporter i think its a long road to the iowa caucus, certainly to february to new hampshire. And i think theres going to be a difference of rhetoric in august that well see escalate and change many times between now and february, but i think theyre kind of stepping back and seeing this candidate implode. They want to be as far away from the epicenter of this explosion as possible. But certainly, theyre going to need to up the ante in regards to their stance not only with this candidate, but also embracing u. S. Hispanic voters as we get closer to february. Surprised and disappointed that more journalists didnt walk out of the room in support of jorge ramos. Look. I think that the attack on jorge ramos, a journalist thats not only renowned in hispanic media, but abroad, not just an attack on a mexicanamerican, or a journalist, its to all journalists, whose job it is to hold the powerful accountable and ask the tough questions, so to have a whole room of journalists kind of sit still, and very quickly, as this journalist is being forcefully escorted out, for them to kind of business as usual, to me its very disappointing. Not surprising, but disappointing, because too many times the journalists are afraid to get off of the sidelines and into the game. You heard the criticism of jorge ramos, criticizing him of being an activist rather than a journalist. Do he want to do a talk show with donald trump or ask a question . And where was the question . I think that jorge ramos was nothing but transparent in regards to his advocacy, not only with the latino community, but with the issues. So for some to say that hes grandstanding, they dont know jorge ramos. And they have not watched as 2 Million Viewers watch every night his National Program on univision and fusion, and certainly the other followers, more than 4 million on the digital platform, so this is consistent with jorge ramos voice, in pressing not only donald trump, but all leaders, whether its at the national level, local level, state level, in a pressing issue that not only affects undocumented immigrants, but affects nearly all of the United States. We have a symbiotic relationship with mexico and immigration, with the heart of many issues around the economy, security, and certainly social issues. Why do you think trump, at some point, implodes . As an observer, i think trump is first and foremost representing the trump brand. This is the first time that we have seen donald trump throw his hat in the rink for president of the United States. Its an opportunity for him to work on his image, and his brand. So we have seen this type of showboating before, and i think that something happened that he could not predict in his Opening Statements when he was announcing that he was running for president. His attacks on the mexican community. Certainly was a lightning rod of conversation that were still talking about months later. Its those issues that have kept him still in the new cycle, and really, its those issues that continue to have him as part of the conversation, specific to Immigration Reform. But i think from his be perspective, theres no such thing as bad publicity. At the end of the day, i suspect that he will, as he has done before, drop out of the race, write a new book, and have a new television show, and he will gain more from a what were experiencing, and really the losers will be the voters and the supporters that he has right now. The former president of the association of hispanic journalists. Thank you for your time. Thank you very much. Donald trump and his rival, scott walker, have proposed building a wall between the United States and mexico, but how effective would a wall be . Looking into that part of the debate, on the border, in nogales, paul, whats the verdict here . Reporter well, tony, as you see, this is the wall behind me in downtown nogales, arizona, and its tall and made out of steel and crete. And as we know, every year people go over it and around it, and under it, and donald trump says that hes going to stop that. We caught on camera two kids climbing over the fence late at night. We assume that they were drug smugglers, and its amazing that we caught it on camera. Look at this. That 2. 4 billion, that was just to build the fence, and it costs hundreds of millions dollars every year to maintain it. And then the money that we spent on Border Patrol agents, keeping them in the field. So the reason that the Border Patrol agent is parked up on the hill, because this is a river bed, its monsoon season here in this part offer arizona and that means very heavy thunderstorms, and huge volumes of water, so they built the fence with floodgates that they let open to leave it through, and all they have is two little strands of barbed wire between the u. S. And mexico. Obviously, its easy to come over and impossible to keep them out. This is just us driving over and demonstrating why it would be impossible to build a wall, this is an area where there are floodgates to let a river through. The numbers, 2. 4 billion just to build the 670 miles of fence that we have so far, and hundreds of millions of dollars to maintain it every year, and trumps wall that hes proposing would obviously cost a great deal more, and as we demonstrated, it would be almost physically impossible to build. And tony, they said you dont need a job, because the fence is good at directing people to areas where they know theyre going to be caught. And topography and its a problem that the Border Patrol doesnt believe needs fixing. President obama has apologized to the japanese Prime Minister for wikileaks spying in public. The japanese officials were spying on them for one year. And the president said that it was done as narrowly as possible. The United States welcomes a peace deal with rebels in the conflict that has killed thousands of south sudanese. More than 1 Million People have been forced from their homes. How the civil war affected south sudan. When the fighting started in december of 2013, people fled to the safety of u. N. Bases in several towns. Now, more than 20 months later, more than 200,000 people are still living under the protection of the u. N. What began as a site where soldiers killed and injured thousands of people in juba, it didnt stop in the capital, but went from town to town, destroying neighborhoods and leaving conflict in its wake. When the new tribe pitted against the tribe of the president. Everyone in the area affected by conflict has a story to tell. She saw her son when fighting came to her village, and she was forced to run. Sometimes my heart tells me its all right, but sometimes i get depressed. But a lot of people told me, other people have a worse fate than you, so i stopped thinking about it, and left it up to god. When the conflict began, the army split into two factions. And for the last 20 months, war in south sudan has dragged on, with changing hands constantly between the rebels and the forces. They found themselves attacked in the streets. They cut me with a type of machete. I fell down, and i didnt know what was hang. After two or three hours, i found myself in hospital. They demanded that both sides come to a peaceful resolution, and they signed a peace agreement. And the pressure has been here to do the same. The International Community is optimistic that the signing of the deal means the end of the war, but the people arent so confident. And thats mainly because some of the top rebel commanders have split. And they made it very clear that this peace deal means nothing. Unfortunately for the people of south sudan, it means that the war isnt over. A rally on wall street. After six Straight Days of losses, one of the biggest days ever. And plus, after years of waiting for justice, relatives of those killed by the colorado Movie Theater shooter finally learned his punishment. Got to tell u. The bulls came out on wall street today, with the do you 600 points hight, and its the dows biggest gape in seven years. And it also helped with the fears over chinas economy, and yet chinas market continues to really struggle. A report from beijing. It was a day for ups and downs for markets across asia pacific. But many of them were up. Japan, south pacific, sing pore. And ended the day, just down 1. 27 . And that will certainly gain heart for those in the market. But the markets have lost 20 . Though the Central Bank CutInterest Rates, it made it easier for the banks to loan, giving them the ability to have loans, but cutting the opportunity for those who want to save money. Its the fifth Interest Rate cut in the last five months since november, and perhaps this is a trend that may continue. For the moment, china is not out of the woods. Its still a very serious situation as far as the domestic market, and the perception of chinas market. Everybody will be watching closely as to how china pulls itself out of it, and regains the confidence that it needs to make sure that the investors dont pull capital out of this country, and theyre interested in the Chinese Market and the stock exchange.

Following the investigation into the killing of a reporter and cameraman from virginia, their murders were seen live, if you can imagine, this morning on local news, but the gunman also used social media to vet his anger, and Courtney Keeley is covering that. Reporter the gunmans camera shows that he waited for the news team to be broadcasting live before he start started shooting, and then before any social media platforms could shut down for his messages. We want the people to come here to say that. Soon after, the station cut away from the live feed. And social media exploded. The camera appeared to capture an image of the gunman, which is blown up on twitter. Vester flanagan, who went by Bryce Williams onair, soon tweeted, i filmed the shooting, see facebook. He filmed the carnage and posts his own point of view in the shooting. He accused Alison Parker of racist comments, something that the station said was unfounded. And on the facebook page, theres his reporter reel, and hes holding a gun in the standup. Law enforcement officers have concerns. While the police were in pursuit, he continued to litter social media with his clues, and meanwhile, the station mourned. Theyre just beautiful people, and young people with so much potential and so much to give, and i love both of them. Reporter Alison Parkers boyfriend, anchor, chris hurst, posted a tribute to her. Saying they were very much in love, we just moved in together. And i am numb. Adam wards fiance was reportedly in the control room. It was the last day of the station, before she and ward were going to relocate. He shot and killed two people, who was on the run from authorities. In the 23page fax, he details his mounting rage.

Reporter a three meter high fence is being put up on the border, but right now, thousands of people are getting through sections where theres only razor wire, and people are making arrests. 2,000 police are being sent to the border to reinforce it. And next week, the government will vote on plans to deploy the army here. Back in belgrade, up to 3,000 people a day have been boarding buses for the border. They say that theyre being treated better in serbia than greece and macedonia, but theyre worried about getting into hungary. Some of belgrades parts are the last ones before the border. Most of the refugees here are syrian. This woman fled from violence in aleppo, and now shes holding off going to hungary because shes scared. Nothing turkey, not in macedonia, serbia.

In conditions that theyre living in, pretty basic, sanitation is poor, and sun beating down on them every day.

Today a gunman in the colorado Movie Theater shooting as sentenced to the maximum sentence possible. 383 years in prison, and thats on top of consecutive life sentences. Erika pizzi is following this for us, and what was the reaction in the courtroom today . Reporter were talking about three years that these victims families have been waiting for jess, and wanted courtroom just filled with tears, applause, when the sentencing for james holmes came down. The judge said if there was ever a case that warranted the maximum sentences, this was the case. Holmes was convicted of killing 12 and injuring at least 70 others when he opened fire in a crowded colorado Movie Theater three years ago, and the victims families are relieved to see holmes get the maximum sentence. We dont have all of the answers like the judge said, but we know one thing, hes going to die in prison, and for us, thats good enough. Reporter the defense tried to make the case holmes was insane. They argued that the 27yearold was schizophrenic, and holmes decided to pursue a ph. D in neuro science just to figure out what was wrong with his brain. But the jury rejected that. They believe that he knew the difference between right and wrong and convicted him last month. His mother, arlene, spoke out on behalf of her son. He has said that he feels remorse for his horrible actions, but his ability to express emotions has been impaired by disease and medication. You heard that guys mother express the fact that he was remorseful, and i dont want anyone to leave this process believing that for a second. He has never expressed remorse. Reporter now, one juror did believe that holmes should have been spared from the death penalty, and since colorado law requires that decision to be unanimous, holmes ended up with life in prison, tony. You mentioned that the defense, and will the defense launch an appeal here . Reporter you would think that they probably would, but in this case, no holmes will not be appealing, and the reason the defense attorney says, is because they want to spare the victims families the possibility of another emotionally wrenching trial. Erika pizzi, thank you. Walmart says that it will no longer stock ar15s and other semiautomatic weapons, and the company says that its because of a lack of demand.

She helped to cross the bridge in 1965, and later this year, she returned to the bridge, alongside president obama.

But for the rest of her life, she kept marching to make sure that it was upheld. Barriers torn down, and america is so glad that she did.
