Very shortly. First, the latest headlines. The us teenager suspected of killing four people in a Gun Attack at his High School in the Us State Of Georgia has appeared in court. Colt gray was charged with four counts of first Degree Murder. His father was charged with second Degree Murder, Manslaughter And Child cruelty. Thejudge overseeing Donald Trumps criminal hush Money Case in New York has postponed sentencing until after the november us president ial election. He said the unique time frame of the case had informed his decision. Lawyers for the former presidetn had argued for a postponement. Job growth in the us was weaker than expected last month, raising concern that the worlds largest economy is slowing down under the pressure of higher interest rates. Its an important gauge of the us economy a key concern for voters ahead of the elections. Africas centre for Disease Control has outlined a six Month Plan to tackle a surging outbreak of mpox. In the past week, nearly five and a half thousand suspected new cases have been reported, the overwhelming majority in the democratic republic of congo. The father of Colt Gray the 14 year old boy suspected of killing four people at a High School in georgia on wednesday has been charged with two counts of second Degree Murder. Last Year Police visited Colin Gray to warn him that his son was making online threats to shoot up a school. Despite the concerns raised grey then bought his son an Assault Rifle for christmas, an arts, which he used this week to kill two children, two teachers. Injuring nine others. Aside from the two counts of second Degree Murder the father was charged with four counts of Involuntary Manslaughter, and eight counts of cruelty to children. If convicted on all counts, he would face a maximum Prison Sentence of 180 years. Colt gray appeared in court separate to his father this morning. He will be tried as an adult. In essence, you are charged with four counts of felony murder, as outlined in the state warrants that have been issued against you. I want to make you aware that the maximum penalty for felony murder, so for each count, the maximum penalty is that you could be punishable by death, imprisonment for life without parole, or by imprisonment for life. The judge later clarified that in fact Colt Gray will be spared the death penalty. Georgia no longer executes people who committed crimes before the age of 18. Lets speak to Erin Ehrlich Caro an attorney and Senior Associate at ehrlich, petriello, gudin, plaza reed. I hope i pronounce it correctly. I know, its a mouthful. Correctly. I know, its a mouthful. , mouthful. Thanks for being with us. I mouthful. Thanks for being with us i want mouthful. Thanks for being with us i want to mouthful. Thanks for being with us. I want to understand us. I want to understand some of the legal aspects of it. How do you think this is going to proceed . Will they be tried separately or together . The . Separately or together . They should be separately or together . They should be tried separately or together . They should be tried separately, i should be tried separately, they are individual defendants, each who have potentially different defences to raise. Particularly since, it seemed that the way that the prosecution had discovered that the rifle was gifted to the son by the father was through an interview with Colt Gray following his arrest. Its possible that the father can take a different position, has a different story to tell. These two defendants are definitely going to have their own separate trials. Definitely going to have their own separate trials. Right. Why is Colt Gray. Own separate trials. Right. Why is Colt Gray. The own separate trials. Right. Why is Colt Gray. The crime is Colt Gray. The crime itself is heinous, thats shocking enough. But someone who barely gets above the top of the chair with his shock of blonde hair sitting there and charged with four counts of murder, why is he being charged as an adult when hes 14 years old .

There is an outstanding Arrest Warrant for his crime. There is an outstanding Arrest Warrant for his mother i Arrest Warrant for his mother as well, she is wanted for using a Glass Pipe for drugs, sentinel, meth. We were talking in the last Hour Hour to the prosecutor who tried the high School Shooting in michigan, asked her whether she this will be the norm now. Is there a clear negligence, do you think this will be a precedent going forward if their child goes something like this . She was robabl something like this . She was probably the something like this . She was probably the perfect something like this . She was probably the perfect Person L Something like this . She was| probably the perfect person to talk to here, but they did was create this first time unprecedented conviction for Involuntary Manslaughter essentially holding a non Shooter Accountable for someone else pulling the trigger. Do i think this is going to be a warning to parents . At the entries may be. I think certainly parents who have guns in their homes should be mindful of what is going on with their children, but the circumstances here and even in the case with Ethan Crumbly were very egregious. The allegation was that the parents actually put the firearm directly into the hands of these minors who they knew had mental, deteriorating mental state. In the case of ethan, there was an allegation even though the parents denied this or certainly the mother denied it, that they knew that their son was struggling emotionally and mentally and to then give him a Gun Or Gift to a garden was incredibly egregious with a very foreseeable risk of any reasonable person that their son may then go out and commit an act of violence. The pattern here is equally as egregious if not more egregious if the prosecution is able to establish that. The shooting at georgias apalachee High School is the 45th School Shooting this year. The majority of those were on Middle School campuses. The average age of a School Shooter is 16. Last night in phoenix arizona, Donald Trumps running mate, Jd Vance, gave this response to the calls for tighter Gun Laws. I dont like this, i dont like to admit this, 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 at Our Schools so that a person who walks through the front door. Applause. Weve got to bolster security so that if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children that they are not able to. Lets bring in our panel. Stephani, he says bolstering School Security is the answer. At this case, the teachers had panic alarms, Security Guards on site, no question they saved the lives but it didnt stop for deaths. He also says in a statement that School Shootings are a fact of life. Is that the way to approach it . Are a fact of life. Is that the way to approach it . First, let me Ust Way to approach it . First, let me just say way to approach it . First, let me just say my way to approach it . First, let me just say my Heart Way to approach it .

First, let me just say my heart and my prayers me just say my heart and my prayers are for the victims, their prayers are for the victims, their families and all of those students their families and all of those students and staff that have been students and staff that have been affected by the shooting. Look, been affected by the shooting. Look, im been affected by the shooting. Look, im somebody who ran for public look, im somebody who ran for public office in the aftermath of Gun Public Office in the aftermath of Gun Violence in my own community when a gunman walked into a community when a gunman walked into a nightclub and took the lives into a nightclub and took the lives of into a nightclub and took the lives of 49 and is sent individuals, and is sitting member of congress took a check from member of congress took a check from the member of congress took a check from the Gun Lobby six days later~ from the Gun Lobby six days later~ i from the Gun Lobby six days later. I also am a mum who sends her later. I also am a mum who sends her kids to school, i think in sends her kids to school, i think in this country no parent should think in this country no parent should have to wonder if the kid is should have to wonder if the kid is going to come home Safe And Sound kid is going to come home Safe And Sound. And you know, there is not and sound. And you know, there is notjust and sound. And you know, there is notjust so much you can do to fortify is notjust so much you can do to fortify a is notjust so much you can do to fortify a school. What legislators and you really need to do legislators and you really need to do is legislators and you really need to do is to ensure that Battlefield Weapons have no Place Battlefield weapons have no place in Battlefield Weapons have no place in our communities, and americans place in our communities, and americans have the freedom to be Safe Americans have the freedom to be safe from Gun Violence and that that be safe from Gun Violence and that that Freedom Shouldnt Ust that that Freedom Shouldnt just be that that Freedom Shouldnt just be available to the wealthy and the famous and those wealthy and the famous and those running for public office because those running for public office because as you may know, the trump because as you may know, the Trump Advance Ticket is no stranger Trump Advance Ticket is no stranger to Gun Violence, but now stranger to Gun Violence, but now they stranger to Gun Violence, but now they give speeches but behind now they give speeches but behind bulletproof shields. So much behind bulletproof shields. So much more as a country we can do to much more as a country we can do to ensure the safety of our loved do to ensure the safety of our Loved Ones and still respect the rights of law abiding citizens to own a gun. As the rights of lawabiding citizens to own a gun. As a recent congresswoman, i i citizens to own a gun. As a i recent congresswoman, i just want to explore whether you think there is something of the federal level that they could do on this issue of negligence, and whether you could hold parents responsible. If you cant get Gun Laws, if you cant get Gun Laws, if you cant remove the guns, can you at least make families who have that unique relationship with a child ultimately responsible for what goes on in the home and then at the school if they are taking a weapon with them . First, i would say that we are not, first, i would say that we are not. In first, i would say that we are not, im not giving up hope that not, im not giving up hope that we not, im not giving up hope that we can legislate ourselves to a place where we have safer communities. But did you think ourjudicial system, holding parents ourjudicial system, holding parents accountable, holding the perpetrators of Gun Violence accountable, creates a disincentive structure, it basically says that you cant do this, basically says that you cant do this, you cannot be lax or negligent do this, you cannot be lax or negligent and not be held accountable. And i think its fair accountable. And i think its Fair Game accountable. And i think its Fair Game that the parents are being Fair Game that the parents are being held accountable through the ayes being held accountable through the ayes of the law, because the ayes of the law, because the father had been warned that their the father had been warned that their son the father had been warned that their son was a potential threat their son was a potential threat and then he put a Battlefield Weapon in the hands of a minor. Battlefield weapon in the hands ofa minor. And Battlefield Weapon in the hands of a minor. And that Battlefield Weapon that took the lives of these children and the lives of these children and the teachers at the school. So surely the teachers at the school. So surely there should be some accountability. Accountability. Two children have lost accountability. Two children have lost their accountability. Two children have lost their lives, accountability. Two children have lost their lives, to have lost their lives, to teachers, there are nine people and plenty of classmates that will never get over this. Also you have this 14 year old kid whose mother is On The Run and whose mother is On The Run and whose father gave him an Assault Rifle and hes looking at a life time in prison right now. I know we talk about this and we return to it a lot with School Shootings, and we return to it a lot with schoolshootings, but and we return to it a lot with School Shootings, but its a Head Scratcher for people outside america that they have very tight laws on drinking alcohol, you can drive, but somehow you can have free access to an Assault Rifle.

There happens in a civilised country. There are happens in a civilised country. There are other happens in a civilised country. There are other legal happens in a civilised country. There are other legal mattersl there are other legal matters to consider tonight. To consider tonight, both of them concerning the former president Donald Trump, who was in court in manhattan today, to begin his appeal against a civil ruling on sexual assualt. Last year a jury of nine peers found him liable for attacking the Author Ejean Carroll in the Dressing Room of a Department Store back in the 1990s. The court awarded her damages of 2 Million and 3 Million for defamation. The former president had repeatedly smeared Carrolls Reputation after she came forward to make that allegation. And seemed to do something similar today. In better news for Donald Trump. His legal team were told he will not be sentenced this month in the separate hush money trial. Sentencing scheduled for September 18th has been postponed until after the election. Trump was convicted on 38 counts of Falsifying Records to Cover Up a sex scandal. Here he is responding to his appeal hearing this afternoon. The judge. We had two trials. We asked for a consolidation, he said no. The reason he said no is hed rather have double the publicity, because thats bad for me, very bad because im running for president. And this is not the kind of publicity you like. And whether its true or not, its horrible. And in this case, its so false. Its a made up, fabricated story by somebody, i think initially just looking to promote a book. And when they called me, i denied the story. I got sued essentially for defamation because im denying a story where im right. I should be suing her for defamation. Aaron, before i let you go, i wanted to get your thoughts on this, hes already lost to Defamation Cases against her, and the second one when he was doubled down on what he was saying there, it cost him 83 Million. We dont know what the Court Of Appeal will decide until after the election but if they decide there is no case to hear and they uphold with the Civil Court found, is he in line for another Defamation Case with mark as possible, but i think we really do need to wait and see before we speculate on this. Brute wait and see before we speculate on this. Wait and see before we seculate on this. ~. ,. , speculate on this. We also have a recent us speculate on this. We also have a recent us supreme i speculate on this. We also have a recent Us Supreme Court i a recent us supreme Court Ruling that offers potentially some very extensive ability for Donald Trump to avoid conviction, so wejust Donald Trump to avoid conviction, so we just have to wait and see how this all shakes out but you know, hes obviously always looking to make this a political posture versus you know, actually coming to terms with the legalities of these issues, with the election coming around this Decision Today with a win for him. figs this Decision Today with a win for him. � ,. , this Decision Today with a win forhim.

As our correspondent said in the last hour it was i said in the last hour it was extraordinary that a politician would make sexual abuse a political issue. The Donald Trump does, and as you say, he seems to get away with it. Thank you very much for being with us tonight. Around the world and across the uk, youre watching Bbc News. Welcome back. We are 60 days from the us election. Today the Absentee Ballots were being sent out in north carolina. As the Harris WalzCampaign Release new numbers on fundraising for august. They raised 361 MillionThree Million individual donors a third of that they said came from Grassroot Members who had not donated before. It beats the 310 Million she raised injuly. And is triple the amount the Trumps Campaign managed to bring in during the month of august it means that in total the Harris Walz campaign have just over 400m cash in hand. Which they will invest in new campaign offices, and on tv advertising. The Trump Campaign still has plenty on tap. But there was reporting this week that they are downsizing all in virginia, new Hampshire And Minnesota which are leaning democrat to re Focus Spending in the key Swing States. Stephani, i suppose from a democratic perspective the fact that 1. 3 Million donors were Making Theirfirst making their first contributions and she became the nominee, thats hugely positive. It says at least at the Base Theyve got things moving. The Base Theyve got things movinr. N. , ~ the Base Theyve got things movin. N. , ,. , moving. Actually, i think what It Sa S is moving. Actually, i think what it says is that i moving. Actually, i think what it says is that her i moving. Actually, i think what it says is that her campaign i moving. Actually, i think what it says is that her campaign is| it says is that her campaign is pulling people off the sidelines. They are engaging in politics for the first time. And studies have shown that if a person choose to contribute money, they are more likely to actually show up and cast a ballot. So that is very promising for their campaign. After all, campaigns are built around money, message and machine. She winning in the Money Game and allows her to get her message out and build out those Field Offices that youre talking about. The machine part, and all of the critical Swing States. So i think this race is still going to be very, very close, but all of these things are really important elements of setting up a potential victory. I got an E MailLast Night from a viewer who scratched his head as to why they raised this immense amount of money. When the steelers take to the field in all this weekend, and adds lot, Tv Ads log, 80 million. You need a lot of money. First we have the red mirage, the Trauma Team claiming victory early. First we had the red mirage, the Trump Team claiming victory early, and then as thE Mail in ballots were tipped early, and then as thE Mail in ballots were tipped into the machines, the Blue Wave in the key Swing States that began to tilt it towards biden. And there is every chance this will be a repeat. Have a look at this from real clear politics. Right now they have pennsylvania at 47. 2 versus 47. 2. Which tells you kim, how crucial next weeks televised debate it absolutely does. Funnily enough. It absolutely does. Funnily enough, i looked at it this evening enough, i looked at it this evening before coming on and it is extraordinarily close, both the national level, Ithink Harris the national level, Ithink Harris is the national level, Ithink Harris is 3. 1 points ahead. And in the harris is 3. 1 points ahead. And in the seven battleground states, in the seven battleground states, mostly within the margin states, mostly within the margin of error, jump ahead in a Couple Margin of error, jump ahead in a couple of margin of error, jump ahead in a couple of them at all and harris a couple of them at all and harris and the rest of them. It is on harris and the rest of them. It is on the harris and the rest of them. It is on the edge. We really only have is on the edge. We really only have one is on the edge. We really only have one debate the results of which have one debate the results of which one have one debate the results of which one candidate ended his run for which one candidate ended his run for the presidency. So this is an run for the presidency. So this is an extraordinarily important moment is an extraordinarily important moment next week and those two will have moment next week and those two will have a moment next week and those two will have a very different debating style, back in 2020 he did pretty well against mike pence. Did pretty well against mike pence, shes a former prosecutor. If pence, shes a former prosecutor. I pence, shes a former prosecutor. Prosecutor. If you look at the lester prosecutor. If you look at the Lester Holt I prosecutor. If you look at the Lester Holt Interview, l prosecutor. If you look at i the Lester Holt Interview, you forget she did quite well against pence.

Yeah, but she i has done some interviews during her time has done some interviews during her time as has done some interviews during her time as Vice President that have her time as Vice President that have been her time as Vice President that have been pretty unimpressive. She would be propped to the eyeballs, i think she is already eyeballs, i think she is already in sort of training for this, already in sort of training for this, but already in sort of training for this, but so far since she took on the this, but so far since she took on the candidacy, both the Democrat Management of the campaign and the fundraising, and particularly that extraordinarily successful convention have been more or less convention have been more or less flawless. So theyve done pretty less flawless. So theyve done pretty well so far but this is the biggest test so far, No Doubt the biggest test so far, No Doubt. � , doubt. After debate in june, stephanie. Doubt. After debate in june, stephanie, some i doubt. After debate in june, stephanie, some of i doubt. After debate in june, stephanie, some of the i doubt. After debate in june, i stephanie, some of the rambling statements biden made that night. After the Debate Injune there was a lot made ofjoe Bidens Age and some of the rambling statements he made that night. Which brings me to this. A lot of the us networks have been picking up Donald Trumps performance in New York yesterday. He was asked by a panel what his policy was on child care. See what you make of it. sot see what you make of it. Well, i would do that, and we are sitting down, you know, i was somebody we had Senator Marco Rubio and my daughter ivanka was so impactful on that issue. Its a very important issue, but i think when you talk about the kind of numbers that im talking about, that, because childcare is childcare, you know, its something, we have to have it in this country, we have to have it. To quote Donald Trump, i dont know what he just said. But if, harris had said that in the debate next you week, they would be all over that, wouldnt they republicans . Im wouldnt they republicans . Im sure the wouldnt they republicans . I� mi sure they would, but you know, what is and i think somebody is said this, the worst Debate Performance might� Ve Beenjoe performance might� ve been joe biden, performance might� Ve Beenjoe biden, but the second worst Debate Performance was Donald Trump and that same debate. So i think that with the rules of the debate being set, it be an opportunity for the american people see that they have a septuagenarian who is also rambling and has not a Core Set of principles around his policies, with Flip Flop and say confusing things that maybe he doesnt even understand in the moment, and right now. I the moment, and right now. I mean, this is not an unserious issue, child care. Republicans and democrats are paying through the Noes Request for childcare particularly in New York, and you would think eight weeks out from the election both candidates would have something to say about something to say about something that really does matter in terms of the cost of living. Matter in terms of the cost of livina. �. , living. And harris has said that she living. And harris has said that she wants i living. And harris has said that she wants to i living. And harris has said that she wants to expand | living. And harris has said i that she wants to expand the Child Tax Credit and ensure that people have affordable childcare and give a credit for newborn families where the the expenses are particularly high when babies first enter our families, so she has laid out some economic policies that do address this. I think trump is address this. I think trump is a little bit all over the place, and unable to articulate real policy statement. I do agree with kim that it is. Hes a little bit scattered when it comes to what his Policy Positions are. Bud when it comes to what his Policy Positions are. And we havent talked i Policy Positions are. And we havent talked about i Policy Positions are. And we i havent talked about goldman sachs, not a renowned mouthpiece said. Before we go to the break, i do want to come back to this issue of pennsylvania because i did the Results Boards in the 2020 for the bbc and the dear member what happened. Initially pennsylvania led red and i dont think they fully called pennsylvania until the saturday after the election. If we go back to that point, if its as tight as this coming Election Night theres going to be a vacuum that is filled with some of the same misinformation, disinformation. If you are sending cables back to london in your old job how concerned would you be about what is being set up here . I would you be about what is being set up here .
