Reporter in a speech that offered no new tactical ideas to combat islamic terrorism, donald trump said the battle can not be won until the enemy that is radical islamic terrorism is named. We have a president that doesnt want to say the words. Anyone who cannot name our enemy is not fit to lead our country. Reporter trump also repeated i was an opponent of the iraq war from the beginning, a major difference between me and my opponent. Reporter trump did not publicly express skepticism about the u. S. Led invasion until five months after it began. Trump also had tough words about u. S. Troops leaving iraq at the end of 2011. They said were moving out. Heres our time. Incompetent president . Reporter trumps criticism left out the fact that president george w. Bush negotiated and approved the time line. On immigration, trump said regions with terrorism would lose privileges and the u. S. Would apply ideological tests for admission. The time is overdue to develop a new Screening Test for the threats we face today. I call it extreme vetti. Reporter that includes tests of applicants for hostile attitude. Those who do not believe in our constitution, who support bigotry and hatred, will not be admitted for immigration into our country. Reporter trump also called for a Strategic Alliance with russia to do battle against isis. Scott, this overlooks moscows support for the assad dictatorship in syria and the islamic regime in iran.

And she argues, shell work he cant be trusted. Reporter Vice President biden, campaigning with clinton, had a score to settle after trump called president obama the founder of isis. Let me tell you why its a dangerous statement, why as he might say the bad guys are listening. Reporter biden pointed out that the leader of the Terror Group Hezbollah had seized on trumps accusation over the weekend. If my son were still in iraq and i said all those who are there, the threat to their life has gone up a couple clicks, gone up a couple clicks. Reporter biden went so far as to say that if his son had been deployed by a president trump, he would have thrown himself at his sons feet to prevent him from going. Hes hoping that statements like that get some attention here in workingclass scranton, scott, which is the town where he grew tonight a curfew goes into effect in milwaukee at 10 00 in the hope of heading off a third night of violence.

Rounds when he ran off after being pulled over in a traffic stop for having a suspicious vehicle. When asked to drop his weapon, police say he refused. He was shot twice, once in the chest and arm. Milwaukee police chief ed flynn. Whether the shooting turned out to be completely justified or whether it wasnt, that wasnt the issue. The issue was this is a flash point.

Dean reynolds tells us that among the latest victims is the son of a Police Officer. Its a pretty nice place. I like it. Reporter last year Arshell Dennis spoke about growing up in chicago. Its kind of bad being a youth there, but, you know, they teach you a lot of stuff. Reporter but in his case, the lesson came at a terrible price. The 19yearold son of a chicago policeman was shot to death as he and a friend sat on the front steps of his mothers home.

Reporter police dont know the motive yet, but sources say gang initiations were happening in his neighborhood over the weekend. Aspiring members were told to go kill whoever you find. Thats a rite of passage for them. How bizarre is that . Reporter Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson was once a patrolman with the young mans father, officer chico dennis, who johnson says is now inconsolable. It just goes to show you how Violent Crime can reach out and touch you when you least expect it. Its just sad because you have a man that was raising a son to be a man, doing what he was supposed to be doing, and he simply came home to visit his mother and this happens to him.

Most often the cause is sids sudden infant death syndrome. And a new study out today finds that many parents are not doing all they can to reduce the risk. Heres dr. Jon lapook. Reporter like so many new parents, Jenelle Hanley is focused on the best and safest way to get her oneyearold no loose blankets, no loose toys in the crib whatsoever. Reporter and hanley puts cameron to sleep on her back, which is also the current recommendation by pediatricians, but according to todays new study in pediatrics, hanley is among the very few doing it right. Researchers videotaped 160 babies sleeping at 1, 3 and 6 months. At one month, 91 slept with loose items, like bedding, bumper pads, pillows or stuffed animals. By six months that number was still over 90 . At one month 14 were not placed to sleep on their back. By six months it had more than doubled to 33 . I dont worry about the babies when colic is part of the picture. Reporter dr. Hai cao is a pediatrician in brooklyn. Babies should have their own sleeping environment. Babies should also not have any stuffed animals in their sleeping environment. And they should be placed on their backs. Reporter researchers attribute some of these unsafe behaviors to mixed messages such bedding, but also to tired parents. Its probably on the part of pediatricians to get the word out a little bit more about sids dangers. We have a lot of generational things that have been passed down over and over and over that weve gotten comfortable with doing that maybe we shouldnt be doing. Reporter the study also found when infants were moved overnight, most often to a parents room, the new sleeping site was generally more dangerous. Bedsharing is a risk factor for sids, and soed objects may cause suffocation by covering an infants nose and mouth. Pelley dr. Jon lapook, thanks, doc.
