The two had engaged in a public again. Argument about how to rescue a five year old boy in the us state children trapped in of michigan was so excited to be getting adopted he invited his whole kindergarten class to watch a cave in thailand. When it happened. In a tweet, mr musk called the boy, known as michael, the cave diver paedo guy formallyjoined his new family a phrase he argued at Kent County Court on thursday, was not meant literally. With his classmates looking on, lets get the latest waving paper hearts. From our correspondent, david willis in los angeles. A little earlier we spoke to james starks, the morning news anchor for the local abc talk us through exactly what was said in court. Elon musk walked very affiliate 13 on your side. This was actually the 23rd adoption day in kent county but the very tall from the court in downtown los first time that the judge had angeles today. His only comment to Something Like this happen, with 20 or so different reporters as he got in the lift to kindergartners showing up to show support for a classmate. Descend ten floors to the ground was that my faith in humanity has been restored. The man he vanquished in yeah, honestly, there was not a dry court, Vernon Unsworth, appeared a eye in that courtroom, between myself, my camera guy also short while later looking quite ashen and he simply said that he with me, and of course the family accepted the jurys verdict and he and friends of michael, and when the judge allowed would have to take this on the chin, the classmates of michael to give their own words as he put it, and get back on with of encouragement to michael, and a lot of them said, his life. His lawyers, i might add, thats michael, thats my best friend, i love him. Everybody was definitely quite we re his life. His lawyers, i might add, were more outspoken. They made the point that this verdict meant it was emotional during that process. Now open season, as point that this verdict meant it was now open season, as they put it, on every single one had something, maybe a little shy to speak in front social media, for people, powerful oi of such a large crowd, social media, for people, powerful or otherwise, to say precisely what but every one of them they want and get away with it. Do expressed their support for michael, and again, when i interviewed michael after the fact, we know any more about why or how there was a moment where he stole my thejury came we know any more about why or how the jury came to this decision . The microphone and yelled i love my daddy, i love my daddy. It was a moment that lawyers for elon musk contended that really took over. 0ur digitalfolks told me about 10am this morning this represented, this comment, 1. 5 million views. I know on my page it has been shared over 2,000 times, represented an insult and not an about 200,000 views. At this point i have allegation. It was part of a battle stopped looking at twitter, to kind of check those analytics out. Of words, if you like, that was its a story we all need to see. Begun by Vernon Unsworth, the im glad its something that i could help get out there and help british diver, when he scorned elon bring some positive musks offer of a mini submarine to news to the world.

The leading candidates in the uks upcoming general election have gone head to head in a televised bbc debate. Borisjohnson and Jeremy Corbyn have been making their final pitches to voters, ahead of next thursdays general election. Their policies on brexit and the National Health service have been a focus throughout the campaign as have issues of trust and character. 0ur political editor, Laura Kuenssberg watched the exchanges. Whose night would it be . The contender, with the crowd, or the man who called this election, who wants to keep his job . Both were arriving for 60 minutes that could make or break a bid to win. The audience, not the rivals, in charge. Starting with a blast against both of them from their former party leaders. Is the john majors recent intervention of worrying to you, mrjohnson . And is mr blairs recent intervention worrying to you, Jeremy Corbyn . Or are theyjust a couple of old has beans . Unlike mr major, i lead a party now that is totally united. All 630 plus conservative candidates at this election actually back my deal. Totally united because you got rid of anybody who did not agree with you. No, we have a very, very Broad Spectrum of views in our party. I urge them to think for a moment think for a moment at the reality of what nine years of austerity has done to the people of this country. Then, of course, brexit the question of our times. Can you guarantee that it will happen next year . We will, within three months, negotiate a leave agreement with the European Union that will protect trade and jobs and the Peace Process in Northern Ireland. And put that alongside remain in a referendum within six months, and that will be the end of the matter. Everybody on the labour front bench is campaigning to remain, apart from mr corbyn who is neutral on the matter, who is going to secure this deal . How can you get a deal from brussels for brexit if you dont actually believe in it . That is the mystery. What he will do is walk out of a relationship with the eu into a relationship with nobody and that is where the chaos will come. What is your answer to that, Boris Johnson . Im afraid that shows a slight ignorance of the reality. And what of labour claims that the torys brexit deal would hurt Northern Ireland . I do find it slightly curious, to say the least, nick, to be lectured about the union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland by a man who all his life, political life, has campaigned to break up that union and actually supported for four decades the ira in their campaign, violently, to destroy it. What i have done is always wanted to see a Peace Process in Northern Ireland and that is exactly what we have got and thank you to the Labour Government that negotiated it. What about the promises made by both sides of the Health Service what punishment is suitable for politicians to lie during a campaign. They should go on their knees down through the house of commons, skirting themselves with copies of their policy. When people paint slogans on the side of a bus that are unsustainable, perhaps it is time to have independent monitoring of what is going on. Actually, if you look at the numbers, the growth figure we paid to the eu, the number is going up. After a torrid campaign, even handshakes at the end. But next week it is your decision not a gentlemans agreement. And lauras been giving us the reaction to the debate and what it could mean for next weeks vote. Tonight we basically saw the two main rivals on their best behaviour, really. Neither of them were going at it hammerand really. Neither of them were going at it hammer and tongs, neither wa nted at it hammer and tongs, neither wanted to give themselves the risk of crashing and burning. And in a way i think they were trying to appeal to their core voters, those people who have already made up their minds. And therefore we should maybe not be surprised that it did not feel like there was a big Game Changing moment where either Boris Johnson dropped the ball orJeremy Corbyn managed to land a new goal at the back of the neck. Back of the net. And the broad context of this campaign with only six days ago, broadly speaking, look at the polls with a big pinch of salt, the tories are consistently ahead. The differences in bye bye how much. Labour are consistently trailing them. Therefore tonight it was Boris Johnsons side who are deeply nervous that something terrible may go wrong. It did not really. Nothing that would change their standing in the polls. And forJeremy Corbyn this was one of his last chances to really cause an upset or really start narrowing the gap and i dont think for labour we saw a sign tonight of anything that could really spark up their side. But i think the core voters, people who are die hard red or blue would have watched their man and felt reassured of the decision they have already made. They are not in charge, it is the floating voters and are unsure of which way to go. With the election a few days away we have lots of Information Online including this simple guide.

A mega fire raging to the north of sydney is so bad, officials in australia are warning it cant be extinguished, at least for now. Residents are being told they should leave immediately if they arent able to defend their property from the approaching flames. Four major areas along the coast of New South Wales are being affected. Two fires are threatening homes near sydney and others are burning towards major population centres in the south and central areas. Lets cross over to australia and speak to abc correspondent, antonette collins, who is at the oaks, a town on sydneys south western outskirts where the Green Wattle Creek fire is burning. Give us an update on the latest with the fire . It has been a hive of activity with trucks and water bombers flowing past and in and out all morning and overnight, as crews try to take advantage of better conditions overnight and this morning, so they are really focusing on the spec burning efforts, it is not about extinguishing the fire if you like, it is about managing the fire and controlling it so it turns in on itself or to establish blacked out areas so it doesnt encroach on homes as we progress into the afternoon and into this evening. Conditions here are going to reach around 34 degrees today, later this afternoon, and those winds are expected to pick up. This is one of the two major fires currently burning out of control around sydney, the other, as you mentioned, is to sydneys north west three major fires have effectively combined into a mega fire. The threat there is the impact, if the winds come through, project that fire into the east where there are a significant amount of properties so crews this morning have been focusing their effort on trying to get on top of things as much as possible before conditions worsen later today. And how much can fire crews and the authorities do to stop the progress of these fires, especially in light of what you are saying about it moving towards more populated areas, and indeed, toward sydney . Thats right, that is the concern for the cruise here at. To have been some ember attacks and spotting from this particular fire, five kilometres ahead to the nearby town of camden which is a major population centre, so they have been working to the north, the east, the west, into the south, to really try to stop that fire spreading across those containment lines. That is pretty much all they can do, they are using water bombers, but the really have to attack the fire with fire ina really have to attack the fire with fire in a bid to really try to limit the damage that it can cause, but of course, depending on how those winds flow, this area in particular, there isa flow, this area in particular, there is a lot of gullies so the nature of the Wind Movement is very unpredictable, and because of that changing wind, that actually causes more problems for firefighters as they have to battle on different once and is that fire spreads, so thatis once and is that fire spreads, so that is the major issue here, we have seen a lot of volunteer crews coming in from different local areas around the state and sydney, and of course there is Even International crews arriving here today from canada, we have had help from new zealand and the us as well, so a lot of those crews are coming into to relieve some of the effort. These fires have been burning now for several weeks, and its a volunteers fire service so fire crews a re volunteers fire service so fire crews are struggling. Volunteers fire service so fire crews are strugglinglj volunteers fire service so fire crews are struggling. I suppose many people at home are wondering, of course fires are common this time of yearin course fires are common this time of year in australia, but why are these ones particularly bad this year . Fires do happen here, that is a fa ct, fires do happen here, that is a fact, the main cause of these particular fires is that there is a drought on in New South Wales that has been going on for about 18 months so the fuel is incredibly dry. The air is dry, there is very little humidity in the air so that is really making these fires burn more ferociously than they would otherwise, and as they are in the coast of the state, that is where a lot of the dense foliage is, so thats whats causing these fires to be more horrific than usual. Antoinette collins, thank you very much indeed. More than a million
