Perhaps newsom wanted to get a firsthand look because the real is the problems he had but he pointed republicans sank this in a Statement Quote Republicans and congress have been nothing but create Sabotage Attempts at progress including the blocking the Border Security jail that had everything theyve been asking for. It is past time the spineless republicans in congress to do their job.

Hundreds of family and friends gathered to Woodstock Church to honor riley at the service but her obituary said her smile was infectious, she spread joy everywhere she went. A few days ago rileys mother shared a memory from her former teacher it was a Writing Project she did in first grade about what she wanted to do with the future. When i grow up i want to be a nurse it helps people get better and it looks fun to help people. The corner and athens said riley died from Blunt Force Trauma to the head. The suspect Jose Antonio Ibarra said he seriously disfigured her school dragged her body to a secluded area. This was a crime of extraordinary violence.

You have lived in athens, georgia for a long time as you said. It is an ideally community thats normally a safe haven for residents like you pray tell me about the rally you are organizing. The rally taking place is going to be tuesday, march 5 at 5 30 p. M. I entitle it make athens state the reason i chose this day is this is the first government meeting the going to have since the murder they meet the first tuesday of every month some people have said why are you doing it during this week because the students of Ug Ar On Spring Break this week however i did not think we could wait until the next commissioner meeting when the students are back in town.

Org website where you can go sign a petition for safer measures in athens. That will show a list of century state cities and counties georgia is not on the list as will know. Sanctuary cities they offer protection for undocumented immigrants. Do you feel those protections put citizens and longtime residents in jeopardy . Absolutely. The safety and welfare of the citizens and each one of the city should be put first above Illegal Immigrants coming into the country. And as the case in athens, our commissioner and mayor but their own personal agenda ahead of the safety and welfare of our citizens. And ug as students that were up inplace in our care. Arthel a rally tuesday what is next what is your ultimate goal . Whats my ultimate goal is to have Athens Seyfert generally for example not only are we grieving the death of laken riley we are grieving the death of many because the crime weight has been increasing the Homeless Rate in athens has been increasing. Just last week i had someone reach out to me and say their Little League team was practicing and right next to the file Homeless Woman wearing only her panties came out those little boys had to witness that. This is safety issues we are talking about. Just six months ago at night i was driving down a road camp to a red light there is a man standing with a baseball bat in about 5 feet away from my car walking towards me at first i chose to run the red light there is nobody else around i had no other kind of witnesses. It to me is become unsafe. We have Homeless People trying to get into cars of people when they are trying to reenter to go home after going to the Grocery Store in places like that.

Eric in the last hour former President Trump walking away is a significant chunk of delegates on the state of a michigan after when the vote on tuesdays state Gop Convention. Foxbusiness brady trumbull is there to explain. Fred say it was a sweep for former President Trump today, 39 delegates up for grabs all 39 going to trump. About 98 of the state gop representatives from all 13 of michigans congressional districts were here today voting for former President Trump over former south county governor nikki haley but you see on your screen there the breakdown of delegates awarded in michigan at todays Gop Convention and in the primary election earlier in the week. Former President Trump with 51 delegates, haley one just for the election on tuesday. When he announced the results about 45 minutes ago michigan gop chair said this, michigan, is Trump Country with voters on to the polls in michigan earlier this week remember around a quarter of them did to kayleigh. Are you worried some of the nikki haley voters would come over and vote for trump of the general . Historically parties come together after primaries. November will be a Binary Choice if either donald trump or joe biden. I think a lot of the nikki haley voters are going to migrate over there but we will work with them and invite them in. Former President Trump also one of missouris caucuses this morning. He went 36 delegates from that contest. So far there were more theyll be doled out in eight months long process in missouri. There also contestants and delegates up for grabs or contest i should say delegates up for grabs in idaho as well as washington d. C. But the bottom line is former President Trump is expanding his delegate lead over haley leading up to Super Tuesday when millions of americans will go to the polls where the 800 delegates will be doled out. Arthel brady trumbull there in grand rapids, michigan thank you. Eric the road to the white house passing through North Carolina this weekend. They are former President Trump holding a rally today in greensboro. Nikki haley held her own rally also today. North carolina happens when the 16 States Holding contests this Super Tuesday, just around the corner early next week. Bill melugin is live with the very latest on the campaign there. Hey eric, had a chance to meet up with nikki haley earlier and i asked her if Super Tuesday does not go the way you hope is there a world in which you see yourself potentially endorsing donald trump at some Point Question which you turn it back around and said you should ask trump if he will endorse me. Take a look at this video its her rally in raleigh the second big crowd over 1100 people said shes been seeing bigger crowds and more momentum in recent days she picked up a couple of key Senate Endorsement alaska senator and maine senator Susan Collins with the bottom line here is Super Tuesday could be a make or break for her campaign she is not one a stateless primary yet i asked her directly what are her expectations heading into Super Tuesday . Take a listen. How are you going to measure success tuesday night . Whats he want to be competitive thats what weve always said. What is it mean . You guys decide what competitors its up decides what competitors or courts will have the Super Tuesday doesnt go well . They dont think like that would keep on going and keep fighting. This was in greensboro, North Carolina former President Trump hosting his own Campaign Rally there. He has swept every single state in the primary so far he has got a huge lead but he is telling his supporters do not get complacent. He told them please turn out on Super Tuesday because he believes it could be a Knockout Blow for the haley campaign, take a listen. Get everyone you know to the polls so we can trounce haley. I havent heard about her in a week does anybody know . She was going on every show runw donald trump, this and that. That wasnt working too well. We dont care about that. The one thing at both donald trump and nikki haley have in common right now is a brandnew New York Times poll came out today which shows up both of them in a headtohead matchup against Joe Biden Haley by 10point trump by five points. Will send it back to you for a quick start bill, sue happens on tuesday, thank you.

Unfortunately today, its more of the conditions are still really tough for fighting this wildfire this is the Humidity Levels out there right now. You were talking 10 very dry air on top of the dry air the winds are strong. That pushes these fires makes them hard to continue are looking at wind gusts in that area getting up to 40 miles per hour.

Governor greg abbott says hundreds of structures have so far been destroyed joining us now mayor of amarillo, texas and the panhandle for the great plains meet. Mayor, thank you for joining us. What is the situation on the ground right now and how do you see it . Yes, sir, thank you for having us here today to be able to continue to discuss everything that is going on here. We have a few updates year to date we did have two flareups out there today. Crews are spun up everyone is taking care of Business Today they have already suppressed both of those the winds are blowing 20 25 miles per hour. Right now we really need is we need these winds to calm down so we can continue to contain in contained incombat these fires. Eric the pictures we are seeing are so striking and horrendous. What is it like to go through this . What is that light for the service to deal with this and for your citizens . Looking at the videos its truly apocalyptic. If you are up there and in it i was able to get up over it to see it. Even some of the videos do not do it justice. It is a test of the panhandle spirit. What you are seeing right now is the entire Community Coming together. I could not be more proud of the way in which i believe over 14 State Agencies an in 17 local agencies have responded. But this is by far the largest fire we have had roughly 1700 square miles. Definitely something to be contended with. Eric was at the winds the unusually high winds combined with the dry grass in the dry conditions that really sparked this off . Yes, sir. Around here its not uncommon to have 20 or 30 miles an hour winds but dry conditions a spark and can lead to pretty good size fire. Of course we do not know the cause of this. Usually over 90 of all wildland fires are caused by humans. And so what is important right now as we keep this under control. What we need right now is prayer and the good lord to clone these winds back down for the next couple of days. Eric that is for sure how long you think this will go and when you think they could potentially finally get a handle on it . I think everyone will take a deep sigh of relief and a deep breath this next week. Forecast was five 10 miles an hour on monday, tuesday definitely if we can maintain containment over the weekend monday it will look pretty good. If we lose containment we will definitely have to continue to battle it back and protect property and life. And so you are seeing that first hand and we appreciate you letting us walk through it with you to let us get the word out of it was still need. Eric of course people around the country if youre not there exactly its almost unimaginable to try and see that and see the devastation after words. Yes, sir. Eric message to those folks sitting home watching this . Yes, sir. And it looks like a bomb went off total devastation. Anything thats a Wood Structure is totally gone. Im going to tell you roughly 500 structures is a numbers we have right out may not be quite that but i think that is what has been lost. Those are not minor losses those are total losses that does not include the livestock. One of our big needs right now is a farmland and ranch land to be able to relocate the livestock and the horse and cattle and once again could not be more proud of our neighboring states. People coming on the wood or bring everything you can imagine for a quick set is great to finy mention the livestock any estimation into the ranching trade . You know, i do not have any numbers on them. With the 1700 square miles i would not even be able to guess. I would imagine its a larger number than any of us would expect. Eric apocalyptic our hearts and our prayers are with you. Amarillo mayor cole stanley potential folks affected by this horrible. Thank you very much appreciate prayers more than you know servpro. Absolutely mr. Mayor thank you and good luck. Arthel for me too mr. Mayor.

Petersburg prete Stephanie Bennett is live in our london beer with all the details. Arthel good afternoon. It is another similar scene today thousands more gathered to the gravesite of navalny to bring flowers to his grave in mourn hailing the putin critic as a symbol of hope and perseverance.

Now navalnys mother and motherinlaw were among the mourners visiting his grave for the second to his widow of course notably absent she is a broad feeling possible arrest if she returns but vowing to continue his work which he posted on social media saying in part thank you for 26 years of pure happiness i do not know how to live without you but i will make you happy and proud of me up there. Yesterday under heavy police watch thousands bid farewell outside the Moscow Church during his funeral. His body was lowered into the ground as Frank Sinatras my way played big crowds marching outside chanted no tube or in putin is a murderer this comes as ukraine is suspected of conducting a drone strike on the home of the russian president just hours after russia held a drone strike of their own in southern ukraine. I think one day we are going to change the situation and the battle started by navalny will never be forgotten. He had a dream. I have the same dream. It was on vibrate 16 when navalny died at the age of 47 at the Arctic Penal Colony he collapsed after a walk but assume it calls it murder.

The Veterans Administration says this applies to all veterans who served in a combat zone since the vietnam war thanks to a years long effort to get benefits to those exposed to toxic substances such as burn pits. They will be able to enroll starting on tuesday with a new policy mandated by the 2022 packed acts for joining us now Burn Pit 360 Cofounder Rosie TorresMission Roll Call ceo and jim away late. Thanks to both of you. Listen, this is long overdue but this is great news. Can you tell us more about the healthcare these veterans will be eligible for . Yes. But we arent looking at here is any veteran who served during the vietnam war area of gulf war of afghanistan global war on terror, post 911 will be able to enroll in the healthcare system. It is a great thing. It is a great way to fulfill our moral obligation by grounding our nations heroes the right to life and that is what it has been for our organization for over a decade is making sure that effort like this is taking place. But we have a long way to go. There is a long way ahead for these millions of veterans that have been impacted including my husband. Captain leroy torres. Arthel im sorry youre going through that as well personally but i know that is why you do such a great job in this role. And colonel over to you now. Give us an idea of the kind of healthcare are veterans are need of . A well it is a vast majority of veterans need healthcare at every level. We are talking approximately 3. 5 million veterans that will be eligible for this healthcare that have been exposed to toxic chemicals and substances. Many of these problems have been going on for decades for them and have involved their children. And the generational problem. This is Important News for the veterans in our country. It is important that we realize it is a huge hurdle there is a backlog of about 378,000 claims. So now we are going to add millions to that. We are going to have to work collaboratively to address the issue. Arthel i want to take a look at performance on benefits purchased through the last month. Over 1 million claims nearly 800,000 of those claims were approved a 75point to percent took an average of 162 days to process those claims. Rosie come as you know navigating healthcare is not the easiest thing. Will you and others access the various systems they are now eligible for . Yes absolutely. What i can say is we their screenings and new opportunities to veterans access healthcare. What we dont have is a specialized Healthcare Pathway that we have always advocated for similar to the 9 11 world 9d trade Center Health program. They are presenting with with very rare Lung Diseases and cancers Technology Like 4d and all these other Great Companies that are at the forefront of this issue including a burn pit 360. We will absolutely continue to advocate for the right to life of these veterans. Although we are grateful for the effort they are now expanding the healthcare option. We need to do more. Veterans didnt specialize healthcare. They need Screening Tools in place. I hear you i do want to mention just in terms of the va they conducted fivepoint to million screenings for toxins. This is again through it last month with a potential exposure 44 . So it colonel, im going to end with you. I have got just about another 20 seconds.
