We begin tonight with those dueling visits to the southern border. President biden and donald trump both there late today, just demonstrating how significant this issue is, with the president ial election this november. President biden traveling to brownsville, texas, urging republicans to reconsider that Bipartisan Senate border bill killed by republicans in the house at the urging of donald trump. It was considered the strongest bipartisan Immigration Security Plan in years. Donald trump, meanwhile, in eagle pass, on the rio grande river, calling it a very dangerous border, saying President Biden is to blame. President biden with a different approach, with an invitation to donald trump, asking trump to help urge republicans to get this done. Biden arguing this is about serving the American People and addressing this issue now. Mary bruce leading us off from texas tonight. Reporter tonight, President Biden and donald trump touching down in texas within an hour of each other, and heading straight to the border. Nice weather, beautiful day, but a very dangerous border. Were going to take care of it. Thank you. Reporter President Biden, briefed by Border Patrol on the banks of the rio grande, confronting a growing challenge for his administration and his campaign. Illegal Border Crossings hitting record highs. 2. 2 million apprehensions in 2022. Nearly a quarter million this past december alone. Just as we were standing here, a group of migrants trying to cross over using a boat to get across the river here, but Border Patrol deterring them. The president using this moment to urge republicans to immediately pass the strongest bipartisan Border Security bill in years. Republicans are blocking the bill under pressure from donald trump, who wants to deny biden the win so he can run on immigration himself. We need to act. Its time for the speakers and some of my republican friends in congress, who are blocking this bill, to show a little spine. Reporter even the conservative Border Patrol Union Supports the bill. Today in texas, i asked them why. Whats the biggest impact of washington failing to pass that bill . The security of our country. Reporter former President Trump urged republicans not to pass that deal. What did you make of that . Well, i mean, thats politics for you. Was it a perfect bill . No, it wasnt a perfect bill. But its better than the status quo, whats going on now. Reporter 300 miles away in eagle pass, donald trump walking along the border fence. The United States is being overrun by the biden migrant crime. Its a new form of vicious violation to our country. Its migrant crime. We call it biden migrant crime. Reporter trump is promising mass deportations if elected. But when he was in office, deportations actually dropped significantly, far below his predecessor, barack obama. Trump promised to build a Wall Stretching from one end of the border to the other. In fact, he only built about 50 new miles. Tonight, President Biden taking a much different strategy, urging the former president to put Border Security above politics to help solve the problem now. Instead of telling members of congress to block this legislation, join me or ill join you in telling the congress to pass this bipartisan Border Security bill. Instead of Playing Politics with the issue, why dont we just get together and get it done . Reporter here in brownsville, the sheriff telling me they need help now. Its putting a real strain. It is putting a real strain not only on our local law enforcement, but on our families, our school districts, our health workers. Its putting a strain on everybody. Reporter the president is still pushing for this bill, but aware of the political reality. He is also now considering taking executive action, including tough new asylum restrictions and capping daily Border Crossings. President biden well aware that immigration is now a political liability for his campaign, is eager to show voters hes addressing the issue. David . David Border Security front and center for both campaigns. Mary, while we have you, we had that Breaking News last night here, the Supreme Court taking up Donald Trumps appeal over president ial immunity. Thats the january 6th case.

Theres a hearing on this tomorrow, though, where we may hear more from the judge. David . David mary bruce on both stories tonight. Mary, thank you. We turn now to that horrific scene in gaza. Tonight, Authorities Say more than 100 palestinians were killed and at least 700 were injured in a stampede for muchneeded food that was arriving, and then israeli gunfire. How the Israeli Military is now explaining this. Abcs Tom Soufi Burridge in israel. Reporter tonight, the moment israeli troops opened fire at a crowd of gazans desperate for food near a convoy of aid trucks. This Surveillance Video showing thousands of people surrounding the vital supplies moving into northern gaza. An israeli tank firing Warning Shots, attempting to disperse what they called a threatening crowd. The idf claiming selfdefense, saying they were there to support the convoy, and when people who rushed the convoy got too close to the Tanks Security the route they opened fire. This man says people went to get food and flour before the troops started shooting. The hamasrun Gazan Health Ministry calling it a massacre, adding that more than 100 people were killed and more than 700 injured, victims rushed to the nearby hospital. Israeli officials pushing back, saying tens of those who were killed were crushed by the trucks and trampled by the crowd. We understand that a handful of people were injured, wounded or perhaps killed in the Warning Shots that we fired. Reporter can you clarify, were those people armed that moved towards your troops . The incident is still under investigation. Reporter the horrific incident coming hours after the death toll from this war passed 30,000, and amid the deepening desperation of millions of gazans. Aid groups struggling to deliver supplies in the north for weeks. Today, President Biden saying the white house is considering airdropping aid. And david, President Biden saying those horrific scenes today will complicate negotiations for a ceasefire and the release of more hostages still held in gaza. David . David just horrifying images tonight. Tom, thank you. Back in the u. S. Tonight, and to the fires burning out of control in texas. One fire now the largest in texas history. And its turned deadly. Matt gutman from the fire zone tonight. Reporter tonight, firefighters racing against time to battle the largest wildfire in texas history, and its only 3 contained. And now turning deadly. 83yearold grandmother joyce blankenship, a former substitute teacher, found dead in her burned home, according to family. Its her and her husband. Reporter Grandson Lee Quesada overwhelmed with grief. I wasnt able to see her for a while. And thats what hurts me most. Reporter the Smokehouse Creek fire scorching more than a million acres, burning a 90mile wide scar across texas, greater than the distance from New York City to philadelphia. Even though its cold and snowed overnight, firefighters are still fighting hot spots like this. Theyre trying to put them out before the wind kicks up and it gets hot again. Ranchers here hit hard. Sirens blaring as cattle flee the flames at this historic ranch. About 80 of the land lost. With this cold, david, and that snow earlier, firefighters hope that the worst is behind them. That as were Hearing Stories of incredible selflessness, david. The firefighter who lived in this home made a choice to instead save the home of his neighbor. Her home unscathed. David . David just an incredible juxtaposition there. Matt, thank you. Now to the fiery moments on capitol hill. Defense secretary lloyd austin was grilled today about why he kept his hospital visit a secret, even from the president. Heres Martha Raddatz. Reporter it was the first time the defense secretary appeared before congress after failing to alert the white house about his Prostate Cancer surgery and his Emergency Hospitalization days later. I did not handle it right. As you know, i have apologized, including directly to the president. And i take full responsibility. Reporter austin insisting there was no lapse in the chain of command, given that his deputy took control, but republican lawmakers showed austin no mercy. Someone needs to be held accountable. Reporter Congressman Jim Banks calling it an embarrassment. Either the president is that aloof or you are irrelevant. Which one is it, mr. Secretary . Its neither. That the president would go three days without knowing that his Secretary Of Defense is not on the job . Its neither. The president is not aloof. Reporter austin said he never told staff his absence was because of a scheduled surgery or that he was later rushed back by ambulance because of complications. When did your staff find out you were at the hospital . I dont know when you dont know when you told your staff that you were at the hospital . Are you kidding me . Reporter but democrats defended austin, arguing congresss focus needs to be passing a stalled Military Aid Package for ukraine. I would challenge any member on the other side of this aisle to claim that the Secretary Of Defense not fully informing the president for three days is somehow more important than walking away from that obligation that we have made and that the whole world is watching us on. Reporter as for notifying the white house, Secretary Austin said he never asked anyone to lie, and a Pentagon Review found no ill intent by austin or his staff for the failure to inform. But the pentagon, david, is making changes in how to handle notifications. David . David Martha Raddatz in washington. Thanks, martha.

Reporter david, Vladimir Putin used his annual speech to boast about russias nuclear capabilities, saying his arsenal is in a state of full readiness. He warned nato not to send forces to ukraine, likely responding to french president emmanuel macron, who made comments suggesting that was a possibility. All this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons, he said, with the destruction of civilization. The u. S. Called his rhetoric on nuclear war irresponsible. He has yet to comment on the death of his most wellknown critic, alexei navalny, whose funeral will be held tomorrow and may attract large antiputin crowds. David . David still no comments on navalny. James, thank you.

In court today, Firearms Expert Bryan Carpenter Testifying that as Armorer Gutierrez should have corrected baldwins behavior every time. Once you take on the responsibility of safety for another person, you take on a responsibility of making sure that you do whats necessary, even if its inconvenient. Reporter but the defense arguing gutierrez was assigned other duties on that set, taking her away from her job as armorer. Ideally, would you believe there should have been two armorers . Yes, they should have had more than one armorer on this movie. Reporter and tonight, Assistant Director dave halls emotionally recalling that moment a gun handled by baldwin fired a live bullet, striking hutchins. Did you speak to miss hutchins when you approached her . I did. What did you say . Are you all right . Did she respond . Yes. She said, i cant feel my legs.
