An hour of international an hour of international news from the bbc. News from the bbc. We start in the us state of georgia. The School Shooting there. A 14 year old boy has appeared in court charged with murdering two classmates and two teachers at his high school. This is the boy, colt gray. Arrested shortly after the shooting on wednesday. Today, he was in court in person, here with the blonde hair. He didnt enter a plea. Murder and cruelty to children. Hes accused of giving his son a weapon despite knowing that he was a threat to himself and others. He appeared separately and was told the charges against him, if hes convicted, could total 180 years in prison. Take a listen. For Felony Murder in the second degree, the maximum penalty for each count is up to 30 years imprisonment. For felony involuntary manslaughter, of course again there are four counts, the maximum penalty for each of those offences is ten years imprisonment. For the eight Felony Cruelty to children counts, the maximum penalty under the law for each of those eight counts is ten years imprisonment. For a maximum total possible penalty for the charges that you currently are facing of 180 years imprisonment. The case has received a lot of attention. Speaking at a rally in arizona on thursday, the republican nominee for Vice President , jd vance, spoke about the School Shooting. This is what he had to say. What is going to solve this problem, and i really do believe this, is, look i dont like this, i dont like to admit this, i dont like that this is a fact of life but if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realise that our schools are soft targets. And we have got to bolster security in our schools so that a person who walks through the front door. L applause. Weve got to bolster security so that if a psycho wants to walk to the front door and kill a bunch of children, i theyre not able to. And again, as a parent, | do i want my Kids School to have additional security . No, of course i dont. I dont want my kids to go to school in a place where they feel like youve got to have additional security, but that is increasingly. The reality that we live in. 0ur Correspondent Gary 0 donoghue sent this update from outside the courtroom. This was an Arraignment Hearing for both the son and the father. They didn t enter any pleas today, but they will be back in court in december. And essentially they were told their rights. And it was. There was an extraordinary moment where the 14 year old boy, colt gray, was brought into court, and thejudge told him that he could face the Death Sentence, and then he had to be recalled by thejudge because thejudge had made a mistake. As a juvenile, someone under 18, and although he s being tried as an adult, he cannot face the Death Sentence because of a Supreme Courtjudgment back in 2005. So something of a bit of a Slip Up by the judge there. There was very few other details. The boy sat there. He nodded a few times. He was shackled, of course, as was his father when he appeared. The father is facing some 1a separate charges, and for the first time, a parent is not only facing Manslaughter Charges for the actions of their child, the alleged actions of their child, but in this case also second Degree Murder charges. And that is a significant escalation in holding parents to account. And really, the background to this is that the evidence that s started to emerge, all that will have to be examined in a trial, of course, is that there were warning signs to do with this boy, the alleged shooter, the alleged gunman. And that the father allowed him, in the words of the prosecutors, to have access to a firearm so that will all be tested in the coming months in trials. We don t know yet whether they ll be tried together or tried separately, but it is a sign, i think, particularly over the last year or two, that parents are being held more to account for the actions of their children. We had one case last year where a six year old took a handgun into school and shot their teacher, and the mother of that six year old is now in jail for two years.

The school is in the Central Highlands of the country, around 150 Kilometres North of the capital nairobi. These pictures show the devastation from the fire, which broke out at around 11pm in the boys dormitory, housing more than 150 students. Some families are still waiting to hear if their children are among the dead. Kenya s Deputy President was at The School and gave this update. We still have 70 kids that are unaccounted. Now, that does not mean that they have perished or they re injured. The word is that they are unaccounted for. We are praying and hoping for the best, and this is where i need to make an appeal. When this incident happened, some parents came here and took away their children, and they have not filed this report. I am appealing to each and every parent who took their child from here to report the same. We ll give a number that is here by the International Red Cross and The School, so that we know where that child is. 0ur senior Africa Correspondent Anne soy is in nairobi.

Ayesha eygi it is of Circus Dissent and was taking part in disruption in beita and the turkish government described the death as a murder carried out by the netanyahu government. The White House says it is deeply disturbed by the incident and is seeking information from israel. The american Topical Matt said he did for the death and said the us would do what is necessary. The military says it is investigating. Mike thomson is our correspondent injerusalem. The young american activists had been part of a local campaign which demonstrates quite regularly against the expansion of settlements in the west bank, and it s reported by local media that israeli police troops opened fire, live fire. They also used Stun Grenades and Tear Gas to try and stop the protests continuing, and during that, she was hit in the head by a bullet taken to a hospital in nearby nablus, but died later. The Israeli Military have acknowledged that live fire was used, but they say stones had been hurled at their troops. They were threatening them, particularly by one instigator. They called it one person, the instigator of it all. Shots were aimed at that person, but there s no clarity on who that person was. And, as you said earlier, The American government has said that it s deeply disturbed about what s happening, as well as the ambassador to israel. And they re seeking information about exactly what did happen. But the israelis have not actually said that they did this. They say they re looking into it to try and find out what happened that caused this death. Thanks to mike for that. Still to come, a big win for a small country as we hear from eight supporter of simmering up after a first ever tentatively. And we speak to somebody who Cast Puffins and will ask them why. Around the world and across the uk, this is the World Today on bbc news. This is bbc news. Here, a british man has been jailed for nine years for trying to burn down a Hotel Housing Asylum seekers. Thomas birley, who s 27 and from swinton, has received the longest sentence so far for anyone involved in the unrest which swept across the country after the fatal stabbings in southport injuly. Sheffield Crown Court heard how more than 200 Asylum Seekers and staff were trapped in the building and thought they were going to burn to death. Danny savage reports. It was one of the most notorious events of the nationwide civil unrest over the summer the attack on a hotel at Housing Asylum seekers in South Yorkshire. A mob targeted police and those inside. Ajudge today described this as an ignorant, racist attempt at mob rule. One of them was Thomas Birley, seen here at the time. He was filmed throwing a bin at officers. And then stoked the fire in a burning Wheelie Bin rammed against one of the hotel exits. He today received the longest Prison Sentence yet for anyone involved in rioting. The judge directed Withering Criticism at birley as he was sentenced this afternoon. Your conduct and the conduct of that mob has Cast A Dark And Ugly Stain across the reputation of rotherham and South Yorkshire. Those in the hotel were terrified by what occurred outside, and when the building was entered coupled to the fire, which was deliberately started they thought they were about to die. You and many like you were intent on spreading a hateful message of violence and racism. Further details of what it was like for staff in here at the time were also heard today.
