The demonstrators now worn they could face prison time hours after riot police in the terminal. Benjamin hall joins us from london as tensions continue to escalate. What is the latest . There were incredible scenes at the airport. It is quieter than it was, because of the court order that protects people from protesting but yesterday felt like a turning point in this 11 week saga because the protesters shutdown hong kong airport for two days, economic hub, Financial Hub and they couldnt allow this to go on so it descended into chaos when riot Police Clashed with 10,000 protesters who for two Straight Days prevented passengers leaving the airport causing chaos. Yesterday it descended into mob mentality. The scene turned ugly but protesters captured three people who they thought were undercover policeman. Bm back and tied him up, he was lost for some time until finally being rescued but it is now 5 he may have been a journalist. Soon afterwards donald trump tweeted this. Our intelligence has informed is the Chinese Government is moving troops to the border with hong kong. Everyone should be calm and safe. Soon afterwards video emerged of the Chinese Military buildup across the border on the mainland. China has led Hong Kong Police take the lead but yesterday they described the actions of the protesters as near terrorism. That is a crucial term that would effectively allow china to intervene directly. We have troops on the border, stronger language from china and we just heard china has canceled two us warships to hong kong later this month and the issues of these protests of not gone away, and causing the leader to resign which means this has got some way to go. All eyes on how china reacts as protesters tried to shut it down once and for all. Heather asia analyst gordon chang said the world should be watching the demonstrations in china very closely calling this the last stand for protesters against the oppression of beijing. Ultimately the protesters in the streets, not just the kids but middleclass people want china out of their lives. China promised 50 years of one country two systems and beijing is not made good on that pledge and people have said this is our last stand, we are protecting our home so that is why you see this fervor which has lasted into 11 straight weeks. By the way these protests go back to april. This is something people are not going to compromise on.

Fox news alert, Jeffrey Epstein widely believed to have killed himself in prison but our next guest spent ten years as a federal inmate and predicted epsteins death behind bars. Why he says he doesnt buy it. A big upgrade, an upclose look at a 14 mile section that has one border agent feeling safer than ever. Heather the prison that housed accused sex trafficking Jeffrey Epstein under the microscope the subject of two federal investigations into how they allowed him to commit suicide but one former federal inmate says he doesnt buy the story about epsteins death and this morning larry levine joins us to explain why. Thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. Just to get people background as we get into this you spent 10 years in federal prison, that was for security fraud and some narcotics conviction so narcotics traffic, narcotics trafficking, securities fraud, racketeering, obstruction of justice and machine guns. I traveled. Heather you know what security should be in place. Lets look at the irregularities in the epstein case we know about at least so far. He was not on suicide watch at the time, was not checked for hours, sleeping Corrections Officers who falsified logs, no cellmate at the time of death, one corrections officer was a substitute and the Corrections Officers were working overtime. How do you think all this was allowed to happen. They are shortstaffed. There are 5000 officers, they dont have enough staffing at mcc but i find it really suspicious, already a threat. This first attempt to kill himself, to think that they were incapable for providing safety and security. They put him on a suicide watch and visited him several times a day on suicide watch and all of a sudden somebody said we dont believe you are a threat anymore. Heather lets bring up the timeline you were talking about, july 23rd he was found unconscious with neck injuries you are talking about and six days later was taken off of suicide watch and return to the special housing unit and found dead in his cell. What protocols are supposed to be in place to take someone off suicide watch . I spoke with bruce cameron, the cohost of one of my radio shows, free justice out of new york. He spent 23 years with the federal bureau of prisons in Psychology Services and he told me they generally hold people on suicide watch well over a week, possibly two weeks to make sure they are not a threat to themselves or anyone else. For the the op or psychologist to come in and evaluate this guy and take them off suicide watch so quickly something is wrong here. Heather one of the other things they try to do to keep this from happening is give them a cellmate but at the time his cellmate had just been removed from the cell as well. Is that what you understand happened . We have a big problem with that also. They are claiming these correctional workers were a sweep. And that he hadnt been checked on for 5 hours, 6 hours. On the other hand, they are saying his cellmate was just removed. If they remove his celly they would have had to open the door and seen epstein in there. You cant have it both ways. Heather you actually predicted this on facebook, that Jeffrey Epstein would die in jail. What do you think happens . I believe somebody got a big paycheck out of this and if they didnt, they are a special kind of stupid to take a big risk like this and they probably got to the psychologist. This is all speculation but i believe they got to a psychologist, whoever it was, they knew they were going to send him back to the regular special housing unit and i believe they put something in his cell. He had motive and he had opportunity to do this. The guy is facing forever essentially. Heather we will see if we ever find out what happened, still waiting for the medical examiners report to come out on it. Thank you for joining us, appreciate your time and your insight. Have a good day. The time is 19 minutes after the top of the our.

The ceo is revealing why he is sticking to this decision it comes down to a simple promise he made his father never to take the company public, to continue philanthropic causes and always stay closed on sundays. Heather a lot of businesses used to be close on sunday. Carley a lot of people applauding this, when twitter user says and not open sunday, still number one fast food restaurant.

Heather look at the top headlines was fbi agents swept the jail where Jeffrey Epstein died of an apparent suicide. Most reports say the june Corrections Officers in charge of watching the multimillionaire fell asleep and falsified records to cover it up. The warden at the manhattan jail was transferred and the two officers are on leave pending multiple investigations.

Luther was a convicted felon after an attempted murder 25 years ago that made possession of a weapon illegal. Bill bar is taking steps to curb violence and harassment against Police Officers. The administration announcing a plan that would fasttrack cases of mass murder or killing an officer through the courts to a mandatory death sentence. In cases of mass murder or in cases of murder of a Law Enforcement officer there will be a strict timetable for judicial proceedings that will allow the imposition of the death sentence without undue delay. Punishment must be swift. Heather is this the right move . Our panelist here to weigh in, nypd lieutenant doctor darren porcher, debbie heinz, and the widow of arizona sheriffs deputy kim grant. Thank you for joining us this morning, appreciate it. I will begin with you, debbie. In terms of whether or not this should go into effect, executions should be mandatory for offenses like these. What do you think . We need to stop having kneejerk reaction to crimes. The trend has been against the Death Penalty and the reason is the Death Penalty is not a deterrent to crime. It is not returned to mass killings and it will not be a deterrent to Law Enforcement officers killing. We have to look at why we are going to do this if that is the reason why. 21 states have abolished the Death Penalty and that is why they abolished the Death Penalty in many victims do not want the imposition of the Death Penalty when their loved ones have been the ones who have been the victims of crime. Heather lets ask one of those victims. A survivor, sherry grant potter. What do you think . It is my opinion each and every case needs to be looked at on a 1on1 basis. It depends on the egregious this of the death of the officer. Obviously we cant do a blanket Death Penalty just because an officer is lost in the line of duty. I think i also believe the families should have the option to weigh in as well and they can do that during the trial but one of the things i see surviving families go through so often is they have to continually go back, not only do they have the trauma of the death of their officer but the trial and parole hearings and it dragged on and on every single time one of these events comes up it often reopens that wound and brings up that traumatic event flooding back to the family members so i do think it is appropriate in some cases. Heather in terms of Law Enforcement being a former nypd lieutenant, doctor porcher does this make a difference . Im a strong proponent of the Death Penalty. We have to take into consideration what attorney general william barr is representing, the federal statute. Most cases are prosecuted on a state level is going back to the first Death Penalty case in the 1600s we had a captain executed in the 1600s for espionage and going on a roller coaster ride and it costs more money to execute someone than to have them incarcerated for a lifetime but the truth of the matter is when you look at the perspective of retribution, oftentimes the victims want and encourage the Death Penalty in these types of cases when you look at instances of mass murder or Capital Punishment for the commission of a Law Enforcement agent. Heather looking to the past to see changes in Violent Crime not as far back as you went but to the obama administration, in 2012 you can see from the year prior, Violent Crime was down 4. 4 and by the time the Trump Administration came around and had gone up to 5. 3, he brought it back down into thousand 16 and between 201718 the difference was down 4. 3 , back to where we began after it rose in 2012. Back to you, theres a difference in terms of the Trump Administration came in, Backing Police officers, taking it much more seriously, a harder stance, that is the perception. Crime has always evident flowed. Like anything in society it has gone up, it has gone down and i dont think we can say one administration or the other has had any difference in crime. That is just how crime has occurred. Maybe not as far back as the 1600s but that is how it has occurred in the 20 tube and 21st century. When looking at the difficulty i agree with sharon that we need to look at it on a casebycase basis. There are individuals on death row who have been found to be exonerated of the crime. When talking about attorney general william barr saying we need to take stiff action i agree i totally disagree with that because there are individuals who have been on death row who have not committed the crime they are on death row for. Heather final statement from you and then to sherry. This should be advanced in the wake of Mass Shootings that occurred recently and looking at how crime against Law Enforcement agents has been ongoing, retribution is necessary and this is something i applaud from the attorney general william barr. Would Something Like this, h that case would be one that i dont believe i would be in favor due to the circumstances but there certainly have been more and more of these events where theres just egregious killing of Police Officers where i believe that a Swift Response by Law Enforcement is appropriate because we are seeing such an uptick, not just killed but attacked and injured. Heather doctor porcher, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. A race against time to save a girl from a sweltering car, the officer smashed his way inside and the mom the item disband on planes could go up in flames just like this. That is not a good thing. Welcome back, you are watching fox and friends first. The fbi investigating an ice Office Shooting is a targeted attack. This bullet hole is from one of several shots fired at the building in san antonio. Agents believe the gunmen knew who to aim for.

There been four antiice attacks in a month. In Washington State and antifa member lit a car on fire. He was shot and killed by police.

Reporter coke is out with cinnamon flavored cocacola, they are launching this on september 30th at of the holiday season. It does sound very festive but it was released last year in the uk, was a huge hit so they are bringing it to the us, kind of a spicy festive flavor, not sure how it will be received but it is very popular there in the uk. This follows the release of orange vanilla cocacola which was a huge success. Heather sound system but also sound weird too. The orange vanilla would be okay, thank you so much.

The University Says it hopes to set the tone for students entire college careers. Is this a step toward success or step too far . Chemistry from correspondent director joins us to weigh in. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. Do you think this is a good idea . 7000 students at the university of georgia subject to this . Im for having students encouraged to take care of themselves and that is an important thing. Something to watch for. That these students are adults. They should be able to take autonomy of their Health Decisions and what they want to do with their doctors and forcing them to take advantage of these services is a different thing from offering them all together. At campus reform we are constantly reporting on these far left administrations and professors at big colleges that are constantly saying things like if youre a trump support you are toxic and if youre masculine your toxic with your conservative you are a threat to society. It is not a stretch to say this could end of targeting students who are open about those views and having a negative back lash in that way. Shannon heather the potential topics they say will be discussed at Mental Health screenings would be sexual assault, binge drinking, homework, making friends and workload. How do you think students could be targeted perhaps . When you look at the way conservative views are treated on campuses today its not hard to see all the different ways these Little Things here and there could lead to having a negative influence on students if their opinions go a certain way. Heres an interesting thing about this. The incoming generation is significantly more likely than previous generations to selfreport when having Mental Health issues but it is not even really necessary. These are students that are more than okay asking for help for things when they need it. What this does is pushes the president that students and young people need to look to the government, look to College Administrations to be told what to do with their health. Heather that is what i want to end the second with because other schools will be watching what you ga is attempting to do here in terms of a precedent. Will other schools follow suit . Absolutely. Typically when we see this on a large scale especially a big school like this it tends to follow at other universities and it is something we need to watch closely because it does lead the way to students being more dependent on things like bureaucracy and medicare for all deciding what their best decision should be when it comes to their health. We know private citizens, private individuals are the ones who should be making those shots, not people they have never met running and administration. Heather we reached out to the school. We should tell everyone that through statements but we have not heard back from you ga. It is 8 minutes until the top of the hour.
