The fbi says a teenager accused of killing four people at his High School in georgia was interviewed last year by police about anonymous online threats. At the time, local schools had reportedly been told to continue monitoring him. Four people were killed in the incident two iii year old pupils and two teachers. Nine others were taken to hospital. The boy, named as colt gray, was arrested on campus and will be prosecuted as an adult. People held a vigil following the shootings. Students, families, and teachers held candles and prayed for the injured as the community began trying to come to grips with the tragedy. One eyewitness who lives opposite The School described what he saw. It was crazy, like. It was. It looked like a. I didnt really pay attention to it at first i was like, they sounded like they were at The School. And i looked over and then the alarm started going off The School alarms and people were going out around The School and they were doing like, the drill you know, like the drill, Fire Drill Stuff is what i seen. And then i knew. I knew something was seriously wrong then. And you dont hear about that happening you hear about it happening all around the world, but it shows that it can happen anywhere, you know . Joining me now is political strategist and former republican aide rina shah, and democratic Strategist Mary Anne marsh. Welcome both of these to the programme. I will come to Fox News and that Town Hall and a moment or two but lets start with those events in georgia because it throws up the question, do you think in the remaining 60 plus days of this president ial election campaign, we are likely to see more said about guns and Gun Laws or is that simply too risky. Maryanne, do you first of all . There is no question it will continue to be raised. Gun reform is on the table, No Doubt about it but ultimately, the only Way Anything will happen about Gun Reform is to elect Kamala Harris to the White House and the democrats win the senate in the house. Otherwise, you will not see anything happen. That has been happening for the last several years that has been a problem. Years that has been a problem years that has been a roblem. ~. ,. ,. ,, problem. What is your analysis, rina . EveryOne problem. What is your analysis, rina . EveryOne on problem.

School she did have prayers that we need . School she did have become prayers that we need . School she did have become so prayers that we need . School.

I have to say that of a mother, when we send our children to school, we expect them to come back alive. What were seeing now is to things at play, a lack of political will from our elected leaders and then depart sensible gun control, which i believe is the problem there. On the other hand, the second thing at play here is the discussion about rights. We americans have a rights. We americans have a right to go into public places and not be shot to death. So what will be dOne about the next 60 days, not quite sure but it has to remain front of mind because we are back at school here in the United States and we feel as parents is that our leaders are failing us. , is that our leaders are failing us,. , is that our leaders are failing us. ,. , a ,. , is that our leaders are failing us.

That is something i want to become harris really drill deeper and talk to the american public about how she would be different than how she has been alongside biden in the White House these past four years.

The fact that the Town Hall was held not only by fox but in pennsylvania, the capital that all important state that Donald Trump lost four years ago. He has to win it, it is a battleground state. Both are competing hard for it but Kamala Harris has more options to win to get to 270 dOne on dan Donald Trump has. All the same attack lines, but he did not really make a lot of progress and i think it revealed more than anything that he knows he is in the fight of his Life.

The uks deputy prime minister Angela Rayner says its completely unacceptable that people are still living in homes covered with dangerous cladding seven years after the Grenfell Tower fire. Wednesdays final report into the disaster said all 72 deaths were avoidable. The government also wants police and prosecutors to take action over the tragedy as quickly as possible. Jessica lane reports. Survivors and relatives of those who died Say Theyve now had apologies and some answers, but Theirfight Forjustice goes on. Antonio and miguel managed to escape the fire. Miguel and his wife knocked on doors of five other flats on the 13th floor, warning friends and neighbours to get out. Its my duty to do that anyway, if i knew that its a fire in the building. I mean, its the small thing that i can do is just to give advice to my neighbours. Now the inquiry is finished and the second chapter is starting. So it is important now that the government takes on board the recommendation. But bereaved families and survivors may have to wait until at least The End of 2026 for a decision on potential criminal charges over the fire. Here are some of the reports key findings. In 2001, before the disaster, the alarm was raised about cladding related fires. But despite a committee of Mps Raising concerns flammable Cladding Wasnt banned. The report also found that tests conducted in 2001 revealed that the cladding of concern burned violently, though the government did not tighten any rules. In 2010, the Coalition Government was intent on cutting regulations. The inquiry found that even matters affecting the safety of Life were ignored, delayed or disregarded. The inquiry also found there had been systematic dishOnesty from manufacturers, with One company deliberately concealing the true extent of the danger of its product. The report also found the firefighters from the London Fire brigade, who went into grenfell, were not properly prepared. Prime minister Keir Starmer visited grenfell and apologised yesterday for the systematic failings which led to the deaths, all of which the report found were avoidable. But his government says it wont be easy to make peoples homes safer, even though £5 billion is available to carry out the work needed. Theres no excuse to not do this work now, and there are still some buildings that we believe havent been identified. Also, weve identified 4630 and only 50 of them are currently in remediation. But it is completely unacceptable that the remediation is taking as long as it is. Around the country, people are fighting to get safety improvements made to their homes. Rachael loftus lives in leeds city centre, Building Checks after the Grenfell Fire found urgent changes needed to be made here. Alongside Timber Cladding on the outside of the building. Weve also been told that this Polycarbonate Sheeting should never have been used on a residential building because its likely to melt if the temperature got very high. And then the other problem is that this is the insulation thats used behind the outer wall of our building, and thats basically just polystyrene. So that also would melt, and that should be quite toxic in the event of a fire. New Fire Alarms have been fitted and residents took the owners of the building to court. But Work Isnt expected to begin until november next year. The developers say thats reasonable given the Nature And Complexity of the works in question. Seven years on, Grenfell Tower remains a place of remembrance and a warning that urgent changes are needed to dangerous homes the government says speeding up the process dangerous homes. The government says speeding up the process of identifying those and getting that work dOne is now its priority. Jessica lane, Bbc News.

I am much more educated and backed the headlines here arejust much more educated and backed the headlines here are just a moment. Hello there. A real mix of weather around this afternoon. We could have a few Flooding Problems to come across southern parts of england, but for Northern Ireland and West Scotland, the skies look like this. No chance of flooding here. Its a beautiful, warm and sunny day. Its across the south of england that weve already seen some rain, and The Rain is set to get a lot heavier over the next few hours because this area of rain thats been across northern france, thats brought 24mm of rain in just the space of One hour. And that intense zOne of rain is rotating in now across southern england. So coastal parts of sussex, isle of wight, hampshire, into parts of wiltshire, somerset and perhaps gloucestershire as well, these areas im most concerned about, with that torrential rain potentially bringing some localised flash flooding, where we see that very intense rain over the space of a few hours. So there could be some problems this afternoon. Now there will be some rain across southern parts of wales too, further northwest for West Scotland and Northern Ireland, it stays beautiful, fine, settled and sunny, probably seeing the weather brighten up across East Anglia for a few as we go through the afternoon. But underneath that rain in the south, for some temperatures just around 14 or 15 this afternoon. Overnight tonight more rain is forecast across these southern areas. Elsewhere it will turn quite humid. That humidity will build in some areas of low cloud. Bit of drizzle, some Mist And Fog patches. So for some for East Scotland and eastern areas of england it could be quite a murky start to the day tomorrow. Slow improvements as well. Eventually most of us will see some warm spells of sunshine, but not in the south. Here weve got further outbreaks of rain and again, that rain is set to be heavy and potentially thundery. Away from the far south, though overall its a much warmer day tomorrow. Temperatures quite widely between around 22 and 27 c. The weekend, same area of low pressure still on our weather charts. The system is weakening somewhat, so rather than the persistent rain, we are looking at showers. The showers could be heavy and thundery and wontjust be affecting southern portions of the uk, the risk extends across the midlands, North Wales and into northern england, to the North West of scotland and Northern Ireland, probably having the driest and the brightest of the weather both through saturday and sunday. But that said, most of us, i think, will see at least some sunshine at times, but still hefty downpours around for england and wales into sunday. The main risk, though, over the next few hours watch out for that very heavy rain in the south. Live from london, this is Bbc News. The government says its unacceptable there are still homes covered in potentially dangerous cladding seven years after the Grenfell Tower fire. Im lucy grey.
