She failed to secure the 100 nominations from the conservative lawmakers necessary to reach a potential runoff. Boris johnson, yesterday he claimed he reached that threshold, but he trailed sunak is a poor. He ruled out a comeback. The next stop for the Prime Minister is an audience with king charles at buckingham palace. The monarch said to ask them to form a government tomorrow morning. How big a challenge does rishi sunak face ahead of him . Any sort of plan . Reporter an enormous challenge, both to regain the position of his party in the polls, and to try to improve the economy. Have you heard anything recently . Nothing substantive. Over the summer, he faced liz truss in the battle to succeed Boris Johnson. That was a seven week battle. He did face scrutiny them. Most notably, he criticized the Spending Plans of liz truss at the time. The desire to borrow to spend more in an inflationary environment. He looked sensible with that in mind today. Outside of the economy, he will probably stick close to the manifesto of george Boris Johnson from 2019. On form policy, the key issue of the day, the war in ukraine, no change there from the uk. How well do britons know him . Could he stand a chance in a general election . Amazingly, he only became an mp in 2015. By 2020, you already held the second most Important Office estate, chancellor. He was somewhat adored during 2020 as the pandemic was facing the country. He faced scrutiny after that rise. Three key issues have weighed on him in the last year. What is his wealth. He was at goldman sachs, that a hedge fund, and then stanford where he met his future wife, the daughter of an indian billionaire. He and his wife are worth about 800 million. The second issue, tax and legal related. His wife couldve paid a bit more tax, but she didnt do anything illegal. Both he and his wife kept their green cards after stanford. That was spun as suggesting they wanted to return to america and might want to live there more than here longterm.

If theres one thing we know, anything can happen. Russia is now running around and claiming, with absolutely no evidence, that ukrainian troops are preparing to use a radioactive dirty bomb. They say they want to use it on their own territory. Nobody is buying this. The Russian Defense minister made it on highly unusual round of phone calls to his counterparts in the united states, uk, france and turkey. He warned them all that the war in ukraine is moving towards a dangerous new phase with the crane planning to detonate a radioactive bomb. The u. S. And its allies are rejecting that accusation as transparently false. But there is concern that Vladimir Putin might be up to something similar, plotting a false flag attack to justify some sort of escalation as his invasion clearly falters. This all comes as Ukrainian Forces close in on the major city in the south. They manage to liberate kherson, it will be a big setback for Vladimir Putin. President zelenskyy claims the invaders plan to blow up a hydroelectric plant and blame it on ukraine. Kids falling behind into basic and important subjects, reading and math.

Across the country, test scores dropped significantly during the pandemic. That is new today from the National Assessment of educational process. It is known as the report card for the nation, and it is not good. Fourth and eighth graders fell well behind in math over the past three years. There down in nearly every state. It is a similar story with reading. Scores now at their lowest levels since 1992. The drop in reading just wiped out three decades of academic gains. The education secretary says the results are unacceptable and heartbreaking. This is not a wakeup call if this is not a wakeup call, even before the pandemic, that i dont know what is.

Not red states and blue states, everywhere. The academic dean and professor at Harvard Graduate School of education also a member of the governing board that oversees the national tests, joins us. Was very difference in performance between areas that we opened schools versus those that continued Remote Learning . If you look across all 50 states, you see a weak relationship where you do see that schools that opened up earlier lost a bit less ground. But i think focusing on that would be too much of a distraction from the real message. Scores are down almost everywhere. Is this is probably exclusively in america or have other countries suffered in the same lake . We dont have the same quality from other nations, but all the evidence we have suggests this is a global problem. Schools were disrupted lawyer worldwide. Students have suffered as a result. What do we do . What do we do as a society . These data are much better at telling us what happened and why. They are much better about telling us how much progress we need to make up and how to do it, but in my view, i think we need to realize this will be a multiyear effort, not just something that occurs over weeks and months. At the end of the day, there is no silver bullet. We need to make sure students get increased instructional time, whether it be afterschool programs or extended school days are school years. At the end of the day, there is no substitute for students getting the access to instruction they need to make up lost ground. How serious is it . Is is so serious that we need to say summer, sorry, we dont do that right now. We have to get you back up to speed . Winter holiday, spring holiday. Is everything on the table . But i think everything should be on the table for those students who need the extra support. Isaac a lot of School Systems here in massachusetts where i am, they have had Great Success with vacation programming in february and april. That has benefited students a great deal. Im not ready to cancel Summer Vacation for everyone right now, but we do need to think seriously about getting students additional instructional time. It could also be additional resources. We have high dosage tutoring where you put a single student or small group of students who have been struggling with a particularly effective educator. That can be another way to do it within the bounds of the school day. The struggle is certainly real. The numbers dont lie. The sting of inflation showing few signs of easy.

Start thteag a teenager in michigan pleading guilty to killing four classmates and hurting six others and a teacher. Prosecutors say that 16year old opened fire nearly a year ago now it is high school in oxford, outside detroit. Is it true that your actions resulted in death . Yes. He pleaded guilty to all 24 charges against him, including murder, attempted murder, and terrorism. The shooter kept his head down for most of the hearing. Hes being tried as an adult this guilty plea would typically lead to a life sentence without parole, but because of his age, his lawyers could argue for leniency. The shooter is due back in court in february. The judge is expected to set a sentencing date after that. And really see move, his parents are also facing charges. They have both pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. For the first time today, but heard the shooter talk about how he got the gun he used. He said that his father brought bought it for him just days earlier. He was then 15 years old and not legally of age to buy or own a gun himself. Is it true that you asked him to buy the firearm . Yes. Is a true you gave him your own money to buy it . Yes. Is it true that on november 30, 2021, when you obtained the firearm, it was not kept in a locked container or save . Yes. His parents have denied that they made it easy for him to access the gun at home. David henderson, our contributor. What does this mean for the case of the parents . For the parents case, it doesnt necessarily prove they had reckless disregard for human life. Prosecutors have to show that. It does make it more likely that there some will be called as a witness in the case. He will be a compelling witness that will hurt them at trial. Some of the victims and parrots of the victims are also shooting suing the shooter and his parents. How could the guilty plea affect that . It helps the civil side. As far as having to prove his conduct was wrongful, it comes down to holding the parents and School Accountable for what they did and didnt do. I think that him pleaded guilty in this case pulls the attention away from him and focuses more on the adult. There is a longer road ahead before all this is laid to rest for the victims and their families. The back and forth in court with the shooter, without somewhat normal . It was a little jarring. There is nothing normal about this case. Nothing normal about any School Shooting case, but in general, when ou plead guilty, you have to acknowledge everything you did. For cases like this one, especially with the parents, it is important for them to see that in court.
