Plot to kill taylor swift fans overseas, plus, what the city of london has decided about the star s upcoming shows there. And in the middle east, the u. S. Calls for urgently needed cease fire talks just as israel launches a new attack in gaza with fighter jets and paratroopers. Our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments. Let s begin with nbc s george solis, live in pennsylvania, tracking the damage from debby, and oh, my goodness, looking behind you, that place is trash. Where exactly are you, and what happened there? yeah, chris, we just found this location. This is harrisburg brother in christ church. As you pointed out, the damage here, absolutely remarkable. I m going to step out of the shot so you can see. The roof here completely ripped off of this church. It was actually on the other side of the street. Fortunately, no one was here. This happened in the overnight hours, according to the staff and the pastor here. About two miles from where i m standing.
Were actually covering that roof, that would not have been a problem. I think when we start laying out the timeline of when this threat was or suspicious individual that then transcended into a threat as that timeline is really starts to codify. We understand what that preattack behavior actually was. We re going to find more either communication errors a breakdowns, or just a misunderstanding of what their role and responsibility was in the overarching security plan yeah. Still more to learn even as we learned so much, jonathan, great to see you. Thank you. New hour of cnn, new central starts now new.

Politics in a functioning liberal democracy is about organizing people and power and institutions. It is about persuasion and argue mentation and resolving the inherent conflict within societies nonviolently, right. Things completely fall apart once you end up in a political reality in which menace and the threat of physical violence are a central factor in the life of your nation s politics. That is a reality i fear is becoming common in this country. It really started to intensify during the height of the pandem
I don t believe he could ever be president again. Most of my political energy will be spent working on that exact goal. Gonzalez was one of the ten republicans who defied the cult and voted to impeach trump, an act of conscience that earned him death threats from the most rabid members of the party base. His retirement is now yet another example of how the big lie is destroying the republican party from within. Just three years ago in 2018 gonzalez was a prized recruit for the gop, the son of a cuban american imdwrnt, a former star athlete and firstround nfl draft pick. He went onto business school and then became the first ever latino to represent the state of ohio in congress. In other words, his future was supposed to be bright. But now he s a pariah in a party that welcomes only extremists to its ranks. According to a recent prri poll a whopping 71% of republicans believe the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from trump, and 35% believe that violence is a legitimate tool in pol
Extremists are choosing these maxalist fights to change the landscape in schools and social media and more. They are losing most of these fights.

This morning, we witnessed the statue of robert e. Lee being hoisted up from its pedestal and doner tone down from good if richmond, virginia. The former capital of the confederacy. Where it had loomed as a physical testament to white power for more than 130 years. It was a defence of statues just like that one, that brought a hoard of torchwielding white nationalists to charlottesville to defend those symbols of white supremacy four years ago. And to fight the violence these meted out. In the end they lost. The statue came down today. Many of the leaders behind that fas
