Knocking them down. You can see those two Children Diving for cover as the gunman continues firing there. Lets go now to cnns polo sandoval, who is in new york. Polo, the Shooting Video is very difficult to watch, to see those children tussled and pushed and put into Harms Way like that. What more do we know about this incident . Reporter at such a young age, too. The video is dramatic, he heartstopping, but the latest example of the shooting incidents in new York City. Well break down the stats in a second. First, the latest on this particular investigation here, nypd releasing this video, showing a masked Gunman Charging toward a 24yearold Man in the bronx In The Red on a sidewalk on thursday. He is shot, while next to him, a brother and sister, she is 10 years old and he is 5 years old, just inches away. After the shooting the gunman hops on a scooter and flees. Police are looking for the shooter. The girl uses her body to protect her little brother. Fortunately, no physical injury, but you can imagine the trauma behind this. This is the latest nt a series of shootings that we have seen in new York City. Not only does the video tell a story, but the numbers do as well. Look at the latest statistics showing shooting incidents in new York City have increased significantly from 2020 to 2021, to 634. Add it up and thats a 64 increase. Keeping that uptick in mind, some new yorkers were asked exactly how they believe this issue could potentially be addressed, and in this poll we would like to share with you, the nbc, telemundo poll, some new yorkers sharing their answers. 33 believing that moving funding from police to Mental Health Services could be key. A little under a quarter believe that increased police patrols could be the answer. Plain clothes officers in high crime areas also, about 21 there. The rest there, Gang Prevention programs and a minority there unsure. The Gang Prevention program is key because according to investigators, they believe that Gang Involvement is actually a key player here in that latest shooting that we shared with you. And its also heavy on the minds as new York City voters head to the polls as they potentially choose their next mayor. Many of those candidates, for example, Catherine Garcia has been vocal about what she believes could be a potential, including a Gun Buyback Program and Eric Adams is expected to actually travel to the Bronx Today to the very site of that shooting and condemn police violence. Its certainly on the minds of new yorkers and its certainly on the minds of the men and women who would like to be new York Citys next mayor. No question about that. Just looking at that video, when that Big Sister puts her whole body around that little boy, that is a Gut Punch right there to watch. Hopefully they will find out more information. Thank you so much. Lets talk more about all of this. Joining me now is jillian peterson, an associate professor of criminology and the cofounder of the violence project. Thank you for being with us. We just watched that latest video. The numbers are startling, 284 mass shootings this year. Why are we seeing so many of these . You know, when we talk about mass shootings, its important to be clear about exactly what were talking about. So on the one hand, what i study is really public mass shootings where four or more people are killed, not in the course of another crime, not related to another felony, and not killing family members. For those very specific types of mass shootings, we saw them really disappear during the pandemic, and then come surging back starting in march when we started reopening society. But when you use a different definition, which is four or more people shot in any context, that type of violence has been surging through the pandemic, and now in 2021 were really seeing those numbers rise. And we can think about how the pandemic has increased stress, increased frustration, added to things like Job Loss and trauma and isolation, and we know all of that has an impact on Gun Violence. And i want to ask you about that because im curious if you think that the Coronavirus Pandemic has fueled essentially a few mental Health Crisis in this country, and if so, kind of how that links up with what were seeing with Gun Violence. Theres more and more data coming out that it did create a mental Health Crisis, that the number of people suffering from things like Depression And Anxiety and Hopelessness And Suicide ideology really increased during the pandemic. And weve also been so isolated and unable to connect with one another, which is a real key for Mental Health. And at the same time, those protective factors, the things like school and afterschool and Community Centers and Mental Health care, we werent able to access that during the pandemic. So now that were coming out of that, i think we are starting to see some of the consequences in that, whether Thats Violence towards others, violence toward self, it comes out in different ways. Its really coming out in terms of Gun Violence. Were also seeing that Gun Sales are surging amidst all of this. How concerned are you about that trend and what do you think thats about . That trend is really concerning because we know that just creates opportunity. When theres more guns, theres more Gun Violence. And we saw this surge in Gun Violence i mean in Gun Sales throughout the pandemic. I think people were feeling afraid, people were feeling sort of scared and powerless and that can go make people buy guns sometimes. But then you have more guns in circulation and that makes the problem worse. So its a hard cycle to try to stop. And were seeing Gun Sales rising within the africanamerican community. I want to play for you what one gun Rights Advocate told cnn about that. Take a listen. We dont want to turn around the next day and say we need to all put our guns away, because thats the worst thing you can do. Were getting shot anyway. We need to protect ourselves and let everyone know that you have a right to the second amendment. Our ancestors died for that, my ancestors died for that. Jillian, what is your reaction to what hes saying there . It makes me think about kind of what drives people to go buy a gun, and we have communities that are living in a lot of fear, that are living amongst violence, that have distrust in Law Enforcement, and all that is fueling people to go out and buy guns to make them safer and make them feel safer. And that, in turn, actually increases the amount of Gun Violence in communities. So its hard to think about how do we get at really the root causes here in terms of why people are feeling unsafe and why people are fearful, because that fear is real. And how do we address those underlying social problems. Right, and when you talk about Gun Violence, you know, i cover Capitol Hill and there has been no movement there really within the senate to do anything about Gun Violence. People out in communities kind of wring their hands over it and say, what do we do in our own community . It seems nebulous, this idea of what do you do to prevent mass shootings. Is there anything you can narrow this down to that can be done, thats a tangible thing that can be done . I think there are things that we can do and i wrote a book about this thats coming out in september. We can think about, certainly, we need congress to make decisions and to make things happen, but there are things we can do as individuals and as institutions within schools and workplaces. So things like warm, welcoming environments, things like connecting with people, Crisis Intervention and suicide preventions. Sometimes i think about people being a balloon, just full of air, ready to burst with all of the Pain And Trauma and Crisis And Everything theyve been through and what can we do to let a little bit of air out of that balloon as we reopen up. Something to think about. Jillian peterson, thank you so much for your perspective. We appreciate it. Thanks for having me. In portland, oregon, dozens of Police Officers have resigned from a special unit after a fellow officer was indicted for alleged excessive force.

Reporter a Portland Police Officer seen using his baton and shoving a woman to the ground and then using the baton a second time, pushing her in the face. I wasnt really aware of what was happening or, like, the pain that i was in, until i was on the sidewalk. Reporter this August 18th incident is what led Officer Corey Budworth to being indicted this week on Misdemeanor Assault charges. The District Attorney emphasizing the need for consequences. The integrity of our criminal Justice System requires that we as prosecutors act as a mechanism for accountability. Public trust requires nothing less. Reporter in response, about 50 members of the Police Bureaus rapid Response Team resigned in solidarity. Theyll still remain on the force to serve in other areas. If you put a team of Human Beings through what they were put through, that takes a toll. We have to honor their perspective in this situation. Reporter Portland Police had an extremely difficult job last summer. Nowhere across the country did we see a sustained level of protesting against Police Misconduct as in oregon. This was a team that specializes in crowd control, frequently encountering verbal taunts, but oftentimes rocks, molotov cocktails. These videos were post were posted from the police last july. A statement was written saying i want to acknowledge the toll the last year has taken on them and their families. They have worked long hours under difficult situations. Protests have been allowed to continue night after night after night, so theres a great series of events here where eventually the officers say were not punching bags.

Allegations of death threats, suggestions of a Hit Squad, and secret recordings have rocked a republican primary race for one of floridas most competitive congressional seats. According to a secret Phone Call Recording obtained exclusively by politico, william braddock, a little known republican congressional candidate in floridas 13th district, can reportedly be heard threatening the life of political rival anna paulina luna. That recording reportedly took place before braddock became a candidate. The man heard on the tape refers to his russian ukrainian Hit Squad and making luna disappear. I call up my russian ukrainian Hit Squad and within 24 hours theyre sending me pictures of her disappearing. If the poll says luna is going to win, shes going to be gone, shes going to disappear.

Dont [ bleep ] be on the wrong side of supporting luna, because if youre near her when time comes, i just dont want that to happen to you. Youve got kids.

Im deeply lhumbled by them. Im a christian, a conservative, and a republican, in that order, and im honored to stand before you today. With me now is arkansas governor, republican asa hutchinson. Governor, great to have you with us. Thanks for being here. Im curious, first, we just heard that clip of former Vice President Mike Pence being taunted there. Whats your reaction to the way the former Vice President was treated . Well, Mike Pence is a friend, he does a great job as a leader, and im glad he was there. And the important thing is that the jeers were outblasted by the cheers, so obviously there was a tremendous amount of support for him and his message, and weve got to learn in america, in both parties, to be able to disagree without being harsh and without being disagreeable. And thats where weve got to move toward. But im glad he had a good reception overall there. Thats an important venue. And his message is important. One of the great voices that we have as we go into the 2022 election cycle. Governor, it does show a bit of a fault line, though, to have those conservatives screaming at a former Vice President who was linked with President Trump, does it not . Well, again, if that was the majority, that would be a grave concern. But clearly that was a minority and Mike Pence is well received across the board in our party. And no one was more loyal as a Vice President than Mike Pence to donald trump. He stood firm that the Electoral College should be upheld in our system of elections, and he ought to be recognized for following his constitutional responsibility. Theres those that have disagreed with that and i think thats a minority and as time goes on, i think that youll see our party come together, and we can, and thats critically important that we do that in 2022. The elections cannot be in 2022 about what happened last year. Its got to be about the future. Weve got to get away from that division and talk about our policies and whats wrong with the Biden Harris Administration as we go into the election cycle. It will be interesting to see what happens in 2022. I want to talk a little bit about arkansas, whats happening in your home state. Theres a legislative session that just came to an end and republicans wrote some new legislation that provides that the State Election Board can strip Election Control away from county authorities and give it to the State Board of elections, which is controlled by republicans, and some critics have said that bill is aimed at a county that favors democrats. I know youve said in the past, are we passing laws that address a problem or are we worried about what can happen. With this particular legislation, do you think this addresses a real problem, or is it a Power Grab . How do you make sense of that . Well, there were a number of election bills that came out of the last general session of our legislature. I let some become law without any signature. But the important thing is that we have elections with integrity, and i believe the election in arkansas this last cycle was good, it was effective, it produced a true result. The other thing is that we want to be able to expand Voting Access. Weve expanded Voting Access in arkansas with early voting. Well be able to continue to do that. We have to be careful that we dont just respond whenever theres not a challenge, but most of the bills that were passed addressed real problems. There were a couple that i had problems with. One that gave the legislature too much Review Power over local elections, which are generally handled by Local Election Boards and the State Board of elections. They do have that Responsibility And Weve got to make sure that we dont overreact to something thats not a problem. But Integrity And Access are the two guiding principles. Do you think that one i was just talking about, do you think thats an overreaction, or do you think that was needed . The one that gives the State Board of election more oversight, i think thats appropriate because theyre there to ensure the accuracy of the election. The other bill that gave the legislature the ability to review local election disputes, thats an overreach and i have real problems with that. Thats why i didnt sign that. So i would distinguish those two. State board of elections, i think thats their supervisory responsibility statewide. I have no issue with that. And quickly, before i let you go, i want to talk about the pandemic. Arkansas is in the bottom ten states when it comes to shots in arms. So 31 of the population is fully vaccinated. Governor, what is Plan B if you Cant Reach 70 , if you Cant Reach Herd Immunity in arkansas in weve got this Delta Variant thats highly transmissible. What happens now . Well, you dont want to get to Plan B because Plan A is to get everyone vaccinated that doesnt have a Health Reason not to. And we are lower than we should be in our vaccination rate. Weve provided incentives, weve provided education, access is there. And so there is resistance out there that we have to overcome. There is a steady state that were continuing to do vaccinations and i think by the time school starts next year, well be at a much higher rate, that well be ready for school. And its also about urgency. As you see cases tick up, theres a greater urgency to get vaccinated and i hope we dont have to use that as the ultimate incentive. We want to be able to increase that. Its critically important. If we dont get vaccinated, we have to live with quarantines and we have to live with additional cases and worrying about hospitalization. Thats a path we dont want to go down again. And im hopeful and optimistic that wont be the case. Again, just really quickly, are you seeing a correlation between where youre seeing the uptick in cases, are you seeing more people trying to get the vaccine once they see the cases are going up . I do see a correlation there, and so weve had in the last week a small rise in our cases and you can see more people getting vaccinated whenever they see the risk increase. One thing i worry about is that historically weve had about 5 of those get the twoshot regimen of vaccines, and 5 do not go back for the second shot. That is upticked to about 15 . That is a concern. So weve got to get everybody not just partially vaccinated, but fully vaccinated, and understand the importance of having that full protection. Thats Something Weve got to work on.

This morning as some republicans continue to downplay and distract from the January 6th insurrection, new video released by the Justice Department is telling the true story. The new clips show officers being taunted and beaten, forced to engage in Handtohand Combat as they attempted to stop that mob. Cnns Jessica Schneider breaks down the footage. We want to warn our viewers the video is graphic and profane. Reporter new video from on the ground outside the capitol. And Neverbeforeseen Footage from Police Body Cam, this one showing a new Jersey Gym Owner stalking and punching Law Enforcement outside the capitol. Hes seen dressed in a camouflage jacket, leaning into the face of a Police Officer and following him and taunting him with expletives. Fairland shoves the Police Officer. Just as the officer regains footing and starts walking away, he punches him in the face, hitting his helmet. Others in the crowd try to calm him down. Another video shows him holding a phone and screaming about what hes going to do next. Were patriots, too. We fucking disarm them and then we storm the fucking capitol. He was one of the first inside according to Court Records. The judge deemed he was too dangerous to release, writing if any crime establishes danger to the community and a disregard for the rule of law, assaulting a Riot Gear clad Police Officer does. Hes charged with 12 criminal accounts, including assaulting police. He has pleaded not guilty on all counts. Police also say this new Police Body Cam footage shows thomas webster, a former marine and retired new York City Police Officer, in a Red Coat Screaming Profanities at police and wielding a flagpole before rushing at officers. Hes pleaded not guilty to charges, including assaulting police. This shows the Handtohand Combat officers were forced to engage in to fight off the mob. The new video comes as the republican party grapples with a Conspiracy Theory that has gained traction with some members. A right Wing Website Revolver news is suggesting the people driving the insurrection were not trump supporters, but Fbi Agents who Conspiracy Theorist claim are appearing in Court Records as unnamed and unindicted coconspirators. But legal experts say the term is not used to describe Fbi Agents and refers to unnamed people who participated in the crime but havent been charged. The theory has been readily embraced by some in the gop. At doj, fbi, or any of the intel communities, what kind of role were they playing . Reporter but now other republicans are pushing back, in particular Congressman Peter Mire of michigan. He tweeted not peaceful, not let in by police, not antifa, not fbi. I cant believe i have to say that. We are expecting the release of more videos from the courts in coming weeks. That will give more perspective from these Police Body Cams about the Handtohand Combat officers were forced into to protect the capitol. Jessica schneider, cnn, washington. Thank you. And one of the heroes from that day, a big moment in the spotlight. Take a look. Thats us capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman throwing out the pitch at last nights nationals game. Being honored for his actions during the insurrection. Hes seen in video that day leading rioters away from the chambers and giving senators critical time to escape that mob. Last nights ceremonial pitch was the second honor this week after lawmakers voted to award him and his fellow officers congressional gold medals.

States on high alert this morning as the first tropical storm made landfall. Claudette crashed in with heavy winds and rain. Major flooding is expected across the southeast and millions are under a tropical storm warning. Allison chinchar is here for us. Its going to traverse across and sustained winds are 40 miles an hour. Its still gusting Up To 50 miles an hour and moving to the northnortheast at about 14 miles per hour. It will take an interesting trek. We expect it to weaken likely down to a tropical depression in the next few hours. Once it gets back out over open water, we anticipate the storm to restrengthen back into a tropical storm as it slides up the east. So you have the tropical storm still along the Gulf Coast Region and new watches for areas of north carolina, because of the Storm Restrengthening in the coming days. In the shortterm, one of the bigger concerns is going to be tornadoes. You still have this Tornado Watch in effect for several states over the next several hours. Weve already had reports of tornadoes and several Water Spouts along the Gulf Coast Region. The storm will meander across the southeast, bringing with it a tremendous amount of rain. Keep in mind, some areas have already picked up 68 inches of rain and now were adding an additional 24 widespread, some areas an additional 6 inches in just the shortterm, which is why you have the Flash Flood Threat for a lot of these southeastern states. An area that could desperately use some rain is actually the western u. S. Youve got about 30 large active fires all across the western states, in addition to that theyre also dealing with intense heat, dangerous heat. You have excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories right now for over half a dozen states. The southwest is usually the place you see the heat, but even for them these areas are several degrees above normal for where they usually would be this time of year. Hoping for relief for them.

Kim jongun is now admitting that North Korea is facing a tense food shortage. The United Nations is warning North Korea is already facing a Twomonth Shortfall and that the situation could get worse by august. This comes just days after the North Korean dictator said his nation should be prepared for Dialogue And Confrontation with the biden administration. Cnns Brian Todd has more on what that could mean for the rest of the world. Reporter North Koreas 37yearold dictator lays down his mark with the new american president , perhaps in an effort to draw Joe Bidens Attention away from Vladimir Putin following the president s week on the world stage, kim jongun declares North Korea should be prepared for Dialogue And Confrontation with the u. S. , adding it should be fully prepared for confrontation. This comes after months of kim may being implied threats against the u. S. , in what kim called americas hostile policy on North Korea. One analyst says this could be a classic move by kim to not only draw Joe Bidens Attention to him, but also to leverage his nuclear arsenal and try to extract concessions from the white house. Its a long, long list of things they want, not only the end of military exercises, but the end of the alliance, the withdraw of u. S. Troops, abandonment of international and u. S. Sanctions. Reporter so far, the Biden Team has said it wants to build on agreements that kim made with former President Donald Trump to draw down North Koreas nuclear weapons program. During that period, trump and kim were known for their chummy relationship, exchanging Gushing Letters that trump was quick to brag about. And then we fell in love. Reporter but kims agreements with trump were vague and President Biden has indicated hes taking a much harder line on potentially sitting down with kim. Analysts say since the talks with trump, and even during the pandemic, kim has been secretly building his weapons program. North korea has tested shortrange missiles in recent months. It has not tested longrange missiles recently, but at an October Parade in pyongyang, the regime displayed what experts say is a new imposing intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the u. S. And analysts say the dictator is likely to test fire that weapon. Eventually he will have to test if he wants to advance further the program itself. On the other hand, kim jongun fully understands that to test longrange missiles is essentially a Big Red Line that the biden administration may not take very well. Reporter this comes as Intelligence Analysts from seoul to washington are keeping close watch on kims appearance, specifically his weight. Side by Side Video comparisons indicate kim appears much thinner now than he was last year. Last fall, South Korean intelligence officials told lawmakers they believe kims weight had ballooned to over 300 pounds in 2020. But photos of kims 12,000 Wrist Watch Show in the most recent picture on the right, it is now fastened on a tighter notch than previous sightings. Why is kims weight a Priority Or Intelligence agencies . Because we know so little about the North Korean leadership and intentions, we dont know who would succeed him if he were to die suddenly. Reporter if kim jongun were to die suddenly, most analysts say his younger sister, believed to be about 33 years old would take power. Her stature and responsibilities have increased in recent years. Each time theres been a succession with the kim dynasty, researchers have dictated it would fail and the kim family still reigns. Brian todd, cnn, washington. Thank you. Joining me to discuss is Susan Glasser global Analyst And Staff writer at The New Yorker. Great to have you with us. Thanks for being here. What do you think . Should the u. S. Be preparing for Diplomacy Or Conflict with North Korea . We just saw Brians Piece laying out where things stand. Thank you so much. I would say, you know, its both and, not either or in the case of North Korea. I do think youre looking at a sharp change in at least the Surround Sound between the united states and North Korea. Its jarring every time you hear the president of the united states, donald trump, the former president , say he had love for kim jongun. What on earth was that about . And so, obviously, youre not going to between an american president like biden and kim jongun, so North Koreans are bracing that on the one hand. The other approach that is different is youre going to see the biden administration much more focused, already has been, on trying to get back on the same page with the japanese and South Korean allies, in terms of what the strategy is toward North Korea. Privately, President Trump was always focused on, why are we defending south korea . Why do we have so many troops there . Cant we just pull out . What is the point of these exercises. . At one point he gave an unprompted suggestion, that the u. S. Military would not having any more exercises, so i think youll see a shift with the new administration. I want to turn to iran, where a hardline conservative candidate has won with record low voter turnout. No surprise that he won. How will this new President Elect impact the united States Relationship with iran . Its an interesting shift, in the sense that the last two president ial terms, youve had more of a centrist leader. The new president , as you said, came in not only with record low turnout, reflecting a Sense Month iranians, its turning more into a oneparty state, so that suggests also turning to a new president who is not only a hardliner, but the only religious figure in the field of candidates that were allowed to run. At the same time, official support still exists for rejoining the Iran Nuclear Deal, which President Biden has authorized talks, which have been ongoing to restart the Iran Nuclear Deal after trump pulled out of it, at least on the surface that could still move forward, though i think having a hard did not liner in office, so closely affiliated with the extreme elements of the regimeses to just its not a moment for reconciliation. Yeah. Before i let you go, i know you have a recipes in The New Yorker and you asked the question, did Joe Biden finally exorcise the ghost of helsinki. What is your takeaway from what we saw in geneva . Well, a superpower summits are often about messaging as much as anything else. That certainly i think was the case here. The message that biden wanted to send was that he was the untrump. He succeeded in doing that. The message that putin wanted to searched is he is respected on the world stage. He is some been that the u. S. Has to factor in and take important account of, no matter how much we talk about pivoting to asia, focusing on china, putin gets his meeting. In a way they both walked away with a message they wanted. Beyond that, it was not a substantive set of agreements reached. So i think well have to see six months from now whether anything more specific has come out of it.
