this you've got to get something done this week the late high stakes Oval Office talks between the president and Speaker of the House what it spells for the debt limit we're close to hitting any day now and the impact that will be felt Nationwide if we do plus not once have I ever talked to a gun owner who wanted their kid to find their gun and so if we can provide a better option as a choice right to the market I think we're going to see a lot of successful from a company perspective what if on
ly the owner of a gun could fire it how many lives could be saved and disasters averted we follow one company deploying high-tech gear to try to make that a reality and I reach my hand up into the into the air because I I thought I was going to get attacked again and I just said I am no threat to you Rick Allen is the drummer behind some of Def Leppard's biggest hits in two months after being attacked he's back giving the performance of his life and speaking out in his first interview since that
attack good evening everyone I'm Lindsey Davis thank you so much for streaming with us we're following those stories and much more including the suspected killer and the Idaho murders in court what we're learning about that appearance plus we are a long way from November 2024 but you might not think so based on the number of candidates jumping into the presidential race the newest candidate and who else is expected to join later this week a heroic moment caught on camera in school a twin sister
stepping in to save her brother when he suddenly starts to choke and why Americans are now driving older cars than ever one Hint it all comes back to the economy our correspondents are fanned out across the country covering those stories and much more for us tonight but we do begin with the high stakes talks to try to get a deal to raise the nation's debt limit before a looming deadline now just days away the negotiations could have a wide reaching impact on the American economy hitting everyth
ing from the stock market to Social Security payments and jobs with the White House warning even a short-term default could result in nearly 2 million jobs lost the talks today come after negotiations broke down over the weekend President Biden returned from his overseas trip early for face-to-face talks with Republican house Speaker Kevin McCarthy which took place at the White House just moments ago and as time runs short the stakes of the American economy could not be more dire with treasury s
ecretary Janet Yellen warning that the U.S could run out of cash to pay its bills as soon as June 1st leading to potentially catastrophic consequences ABC's chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce leads us off tonight with talks at a standstill President Biden and house Speaker Kevin McCarthy alone in the Oval Office behind closed doors trying to get a deal across the Finish Line to avoid a global economic catastrophe he still has some disagreements but I think we may be able to get where we
have to go we both know we have a significant responsibility their teams have been negotiating on Capitol Hill for days walking out of those meetings with little to show for it I think at the end of the day we can find Common Ground Republicans refused to raise the debt ceiling to pay the nation's bills unless the president agrees to steep spending cuts they also want to speed up the approval of oil and gas projects and want new work requirements for federal anti-poverty programs Democrats since
they took the majority has been addicted display and that's going to stop Biden has agreed to some spending cuts but wants Republicans to raise taxes on wealthiest Americans and corporations it's time for Republicans to accept that there is no bipartisan deal to be made solely solely on their partisan terms the treasury secretary is stressing there is no time to waste in a letter to Congress today Janet Yellen warning the U.S government will run out of money to pay its bills as soon as June 1st
Mary Bruce joins us now from the White House Mary with just 10 days to go until that deadline once a deal is struck how long would it take for it to make its way through Congress well once a deal is struck between the president and the house Speaker they then have to sell this to their members up on the hill it's then likely to take several days for it to pass through both Chambers so while on the calendar there may be 10 days left in reality there are far fewer days for them to finalize this d
eal and get it done in time and of course if they don't and the U.S defaults on its debts well then we know what happens next it could spark a global recession and lead to the loss of millions of jobs Lindsay could be potential for traumatic Fallout Mary Bruce from the White House thank you so much Mary thank you and taking a live look now house Speaker Kevin McCarthy is speaking before cameras outside of the White House following his one-on-one meeting with President Biden we'll have some of hi
s remarks later on in the show and we'll also speak with one of his fellow House Republicans for the latest on those negotiations now to the race for the White House Republican senator Tim Scott launched his campaign today with a rally in his hometown of North Charleston South Carolina he delivered an upbeat message based on his own life a stark contrast to the top candidate in the growing Republican field ABC's Chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Carl was there [Applause] was a poor kid who
is he nearly flunked out of high school but today announcing his run for president South Carolina Senator told a cheering crowd that hard work tough love from his mother and his Christian faith helped him turn his life around are you proud to be an American I I can't hear you I can't hear you Scott's life's story is Central to his campaign message Joe Biden and the radical left are attacking every single rung of the latter that helped me climb and that's why I'm announcing today that I'm runnin
g [Music] for a president of the United States of America the only African-American Republican in the Senate he has talked about encountering racism even as a lawmaker but he insists America is not a racist country I will be the president who destroys the liberal lie but America is an evil country he starts as a long shot with Donald Trump atop of the polls fellow South Carolinian Nikki Haley who appointed Scott to the senate in 2012 also in the race and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis planning to
announce he's running on Wednesday but the hometown crowd sees something different about Tim Scott hey he's not angry he's positive he's upbeat he gives he gives us hope when we haven't had much hope do you think he can beat Donald Trump I don't know no one thought Donald Trump would beat anybody but you just don't know lots of uncertainty Jonathan Carl joins us now and John any response from former president Trump to Senator Scott's announcement Lindsay Donald Trump put out a statement using t
he announcement that Scott was running for president as an opportunity to criticize Ron DeSantis calling Ron DeSantis totally unelectable saying Tim Scott is much better than him he actually said good luck to Scott really another indication that at least for now uh Donald Trump sees Ron DeSantis as this biggest threat to winning another Republican Presidential nomination it's going to be interesting to watch this all play out ABC Chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Carl thanks so much John T
im Scott of course joins a growing list of 2024 GOP Presidential hopefuls Donald Trump former U.N Ambassador Nikki Haley entrepreneur Vivek Rama Swami former Arkansas governor ASA Hutchinson and radio host Larry Elder have already announced their candidacy and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is widely expected to announce soon political senior Washington correspondent Rachel Bay joins us now for a closer look at the expanding field we have before us Rachel thanks so much for joining us tonight fir
st let's talk about today's headline Senator Tim Scott joining the race realistically what do you think his chances are I mean it's going to be an uphill battle for Senator Scott he's really well liked and known of course here in Washington amongst fellow Republicans in the Senate but his name ID Nationwide is you know fairly low so he's got a sort of surmount that uh mountain and get over that there specifically so he's got a big campaign War chess he's got a lot of money that he can potentiall
y lean on to you know run ads and try to get his name out there but you know the one thing that a lot of people who love Tim Scott say this guy is a happy warrior you saw that in the segment you just ran there he has a very positive message for the nation but do Republican primary voters really want that I think that that is a big question uh right now for people who are watching and hoping that he succeeds they're just not sure if there's an appetite for that right now amongst Republicans so th
at's going to be a challenge for him as well after Donald Trump that next most talked about GOP candidates so far is Ron DeSantis he hasn't even announced yet what do you see ahead for his campaign clearly DeSantis they're looking at this week as sort of a reset I mean he was sort of seen as the person to take on Trump he was the Trump alternative the person who could potentially beat the former president uh and you know lead the Republican Party away from all the drama that they have been sort
of engulfed in in recent years but you know with Trump pummeling him day after day he's really taken a hit in the polls and obviously his people see this they're sort of calculating though that he can relaunch things uh with this sort of campaign launch this week and that he can sort of bring the momentum back in his favor I'm not sure at this point I mean a lot of Republicans right now who want to run for the White House they saw his stumbles in recent weeks and decided to jump in this is why y
ou see people like Tim Scott jumping in why people like Chris Christie are thinking about jumping in and the bigger the field becomes the more it obviously helps Donald Trump and DeSantis he also has an issue with just talking to people he's not known as being very gregarious and I think that that's going to obviously be a challenge for him as well so we'll see if they can sort of reset the narrative this week but he's got his work cut out for him as we build up to the summer campaign season is
this going to be all Trump versus DeSantis in the storyline or do you see another possible narrative that's the narrative that the DeSantis campaign frankly wants I mean if they can be seen as the only one who can take on Donald Trump that very much helps them the reality is that while Trump has you know more than a third of Republicans behind him he has a very loyal base a lot of Republicans are frankly sick of him they love his policies but they don't love the drama and so you know the DeSanti
s Camp believes that if they can you know show that they can take him on and sort of use this argument about him being more electable the person who can beat Biden better than than Trump than he could potentially you know rise it and beat the former president again but going back to this issue with the the field just growing and growing there's going to be a lot of people who don't like Trump who might not look at Rhonda Santos they might like Tim Scott they might like Mike Pence and that is goi
ng to draw you know potential votes and support away from DeSantis making the field bigger and that could very much be a problem for him so is it going to be a two-man race I mean again they hope so the DeSantis can't hope so but at this point right now a lot of folks are jumping in and I mean Donald Trump wants to see a bigger race because that obviously helps him the more the merrier as far as he's concerned and Meanwhile your colleagues at Politico have reported that Republicans are having a
hard time recruiting candidates for key Congressional Races they report that many are wary of running alongside Trump what are the concerns and how serious of an issue is this for the party look I've covered Capitol Hill for over a decade I can tell you there is nothing that lawmakers specifically Republican lawmakers hate more than reporters asking them about Donald Trump's controversial tweets and comments I mean that is something that happens all the time when he was kicked off Twitter a lot
of them privately said that they were grateful for that because they didn't want to have to respond to a lot of his controversies but if he's the person at the top of the ticket and they are running for a house seat a senate seat the reality is that anytime he goes out there and says something that sort of stirs up dust they're going to be asked about it and they're going to have to respond and if they criticize Trump their own base turns on them but if they don't criticize Trump independent vot
ers turn on them so you know my colleague talked to Barbara Comstock who is a moderate Republican who retired recently and she went on record to say look people have called me Republicans asking should I run again I tell them she tells them forget about it right now as if Donald Trump is in the a picture it's better to just wait until he's gone and then you can actually create the brand that you want going forward so it's a tough spot for them to be in right now really interesting stuff there po
litical senior Washington correspondent Rachel bade we thank you so much for joining us thanks for having me on one more note on former president Trump what he said after a jury found him liable for battery and defamation could cost him attorneys for columnist Eugene Carroll are seeking to amend an initial defamation lawsuit that she filed back in 2019 to include statements he made following the verdict in the second lawsuit that she filed including his insistence that he quote had absolutely no
idea who this woman is a jury in that case awarded Carol five million dollars in Damages earlier this month there was no immediate response from Trump's legal team next tonight the suspect in the murders of four Idaho college students was arraigned today after a grand jury indicted him on four counts of murder but when asked to enter a plea Brian coburger stood silent ABC's Kana Whitworth was in the courtroom today the anguished families of the victims descending on this Courthouse to see Brian
coburger face murder charges for the stabbing deaths of four students from the University of Idaho the 28 year old former PhD student in criminology greeting his attorney with a smile and a nod as the judge explained his rights yes I do reading each murder charge for Kaylee consolves Madison Mogan Zana kernodle and Ethan Chapin the judge at one point apologizing after mispronouncing a few of the victims names this is hard I'm sorry do you understand the charge and count two murdered in the firs
t degree yes coburger has said he would be exonerated but today he refused to enter a plea instead choosing a so-called standing silent plea which allows the judge to enter a not guilty plea on his behalf because Mr coburger is standing silent I'm going to enter not guilty pleas on each charge it is very unusual that he took that stance historically we found that if someone feels as though the charges that are being levied against them are unfair they can choose that as an act of defiance prosec
utors say they have more than 20 thousand pieces of evidence including items seized during this search of coburger's apartment at nearby Washington State along with DNA from a knife sheath found next to the victim's cell phone data and surveillance footage showing his white Hyundai near the crime scene Cana Whitworth joins us now and Kenny you've been covering the story of course from the very beginning you know the family is well at this point did any of them respond to today's hearing you know
what Lindsay they did I actually heard from the Gonzalez family through their lawyer Shannon gray and he sent me quite a lengthy statement saying in part that the family wants to thank everybody for the continuing to follow this story and for continuing to keep the memories of these victims alive that he said that's what's important here not the defender not the defendant he also said they're thankful that the Lata County District Attorney's Office finally took this case to a grand jury but he
also expressed frustration over this gag order and Lindsay he went on to say this is just the beginning of a long journey for all the families but they are thankful for the continued coverage of this case who can imagine they are and was co-berger's family in the courtroom today no they weren't Lindsay so I was told that co-berger's family watched via Zoom from Pennsylvania what comes next in this case right so as I mentioned it is a lengthy trial here this is what's going to happen first we hav
e a trial date set for October 2nd but actually leading up to that the prosecution only has 60 days Lindsay to decide if they will in fact pursue the death penalty so we'll know before the end of July if they decide to go that route all right Cana Whitworth for us thank you so much Cana you can get all of the latest on the trial on the new ABC True Crime podcast the King Road killings look for the trailer wherever you get your podcast and be sure to click the follow button to get all the episode

ing on the monitor I could tell there was something not right with the brain and it was just a moment of sorry just realizing that this was not going to end up being a sibling for my children and then I thought to myself I can't believe I'm gonna go out of state for an abortion her unborn baby was diagnosed with anencephaly a rare and fatal condition affecting the development of the brain still if Denard wanted an abortion she would have to travel out of state to get one was that a difficult pro

d you do let's go how are you yeah so what will you be watching Saturdays on ABC News live what would you do hey I guess the what would you do marathon two to six Eastern every Saturday on ABC News live welcome back everyone in 2021 U.S firearm deaths increased by 15 percent of more than 48 000 with more than half by Suicide with meaningful gun legislation at a standstill now for decades one company in Colorado says that updating a guns technology could be the solution to decreasing accidental d
eaths and suicide so how does it work and is there such a thing as a smart gun here's ABC's mola Lange with tonight's Prime Focus guns have been used abused beloved and detested for hundreds of years in that time guns have evolved becoming more advanced in some instances safer in others deadlier still today's handgun functions largely the same way as the first automatic handgun that rolled out in 1892 but a company near Boulder Colorado thinks guns should be smarter than they were a hundred year
s ago using today's technology you feel like you've ended up with a safe gun absolutely yes we did a lot of research into where we placed the sensor where's the camera pointed just so that they don't have to think about it they just pick it up their finger goes right to the sensor there's no extra steps no buttons no codes nothing else that they have to do bio fires smart guns or personalized guns using biometric technology fingerprint that's the fingerprint sensor and facial recognition similar
to your smartphone preventing just anyone from using it except the gun's registered owner or those authorized by the owner why are we to think that this is not a hackable technology the key thing that biofire has done to ensure that our product cannot be hacked is it has no Wireless Communications of any kind all of the biometric data all the processing all the decisions about who's able to use that firearm happen within a secure process inside of the gun biofire has no ability to access any of
that information and the only person who can ever change the settings or add a new user is the owner while other companies are working to produce similar Firearms Skeptics have long questioned of smart gun technology can work consistently and effectively especially during a life or death encounter when every second counts we asked our ABC News military analyst Mick mulroy a Firearms expert to test the weapon First Impressions after firing the the smart gun I thought it worked really well and I
can see at the application when it comes to both safety and still having the ability to put the gun in operation quickly biofire founder Kai klepfer began thinking about gun safety in high school after the Aurora movie theater shooting in 2012 near his hometown when I think about like what are the challenges that America faces around guns it really comes down to the 40-ish thousand people who are dying every single year from firearms and so I think biofire has a reasonably unique ability to addr
ess certain portions of that Public Health Challenge according to the CDC overall U.S firearm deaths jumped 15 percent in 2021 to around 48 000 with suicides accounting for nearly 26 000 of those biofire says their smart guns are taking aim at reducing those suicides as well as many gun accidents especially those involving children klepfer says the benefit of a smart gun is that if it's lost stolen or just ends up in the wrong hands it's essentially useless not once have I ever talked to a gun o
wner who wanted their kid to find their gun and so if we can provide a better option as a choice right to the market I think we're going to see a lot of success both from a company perspective and also really be able to have an impact on starting to chip away especially at children and teenagers who are dying from guns we're talking about a gun that only the owner can unlock but biofire says their target market is home security so the company introduced us to Jared and Chantel goosman parents of
four who told us they plan to have a smart gun not only for home defense but peace of mind if you are a responsible gun owner you either have to own a safe lock or a smart gun because if you own guns you are now responsible for every person that comes into your home and having a couple teenagers too we have people in our home all the time of course there is a proven market for guns but some question whether there's a demand for smart guns and many gun owners are concerned these smart guns will
usher in stricter government regulation we're certainly not advocating for greater restrictions on Firearms but at the same time we're not advocating for greater freedoms around Firearms instead biofire insists smart guns are just another option for gun buyers they hope a safer option our thanks to mola for that could be transformative still much more to get to coming up as Beach season begins multiple shark attacks already reported along the east coast including the 15 year old who suffered a s

o every story get ready America every Friday the hottest Trends Styles and must-have what's the right stuff to buy right now I really love that it's time to buy the right stuff yes and save big time too The Right Stuff Fridays on GMA you're gonna love it Friday night congratulations on your Oscar joyous and emotional celebration what was it like to hand that Oscar to your mom Asians in Hollywood have a lot to celebrate this year for damn sure Friday night on ABC all right here we go ready let's
do it yes it's the show America wants and America needs right now this is what would you do you do let's go how are you you yeah so what will you be watching Saturdays on ABC News live what would you do hey I guess I just found out the what would you do marathon two to six Eastern every Saturday on ABC News live I think the tone tonight was better than any other time we've had discussions I felt it was productive because look we both know we've walked through this for a long time where our diffe
rences we're explaining them we're giving a give and take of what we think would be best for moving the country forward we still will have some philosophical differences but I felt it was productive in that manner that was house Speaker Kevin McCarthy just moments ago after resuming talks with President Biden at the White House in an effort to come to an agreement and avoid default on the nation's debt in a letter to speaker McCarthy today treasury secretary Janet Yellen said that it is highly l
ikely that the treasury will no longer be able to pay the nation's debts if Congress does not act by as early as June 1st the impact could spark a global recession and hit everyday Americans hard with Rising interest rates a steep decline in stock markets a halt to Social Security and Medicare payments troops going unpaid and millions potentially losing their jobs joining us now is Republican Congressman Austin Scott who represents Georgia's 8th congressional district Congressman welcome to the
show hey Lindsay thanks for having me appreciate you coming on I want to start by asking you what you're hearing from Republican leaders as far as where the negotiations stand right now oh we have wanted an agreement for for the last several months Lindsay and as you know when when President Biden signed the Omnibus Bill we were at 99 a plus percent of the statutory debt limit and in December and and we had been asking him to sit down and negotiate with us at that point and unfortunately he's he
's agreed to over the last several days and so I think speaker mccarth I think Phil feels like we can get to an agreement that that limits uh the increases in federal spending and gets the national debt back down to a ratio in relation to the gross domestic product of the of the country that's healthy and so I'm very hopeful based on what speaker McCarthy's had to say that we get there before the end of the week what are the red lines for you because as we look out into the future what is the de
bt as a person GDP is high I think every Economist in the country would tell you that the debt as a percentage of GDP is too high and so and so how do we get that debt in relation to the gross domestic product of the country back down to a healthy relationship and certainly that needs to be below 100 so the negotiation is not just about what happens June 1st it's about what happens in June of 2024 and 2025 and 2026 and so we we as Republicans we did not want to be in this position we wanted the
president to sit down and negotiate with us back in December they chose to pass an Omnibus Bill and again when he signed the bill we were at 99 plus percent of statutory debt limit in December and he refused to negotiate with us until just the last few days so very dangerous politics has been played here by the president United States but but Kevin is negotiating in good faith and Kevin Kevin tells us that the president he believes is negotiating in good faith at this stage so hopefully we'll ge
t there if it's not below a hundred percent are you willing to let the United States default I I think default is is the last possible thing that any of us want uh I will tell you Lindsay again it's not just about what happens June 1st it's about what happens in June of 2024 June of 2025 June of 2026 I've got a five-year-old and eight-year-old and I'll tell you the debt is a percentage of GDP cannot stay as high as it is without the consequences of a default at some point in the future so we we
can't uh we can't afford to accept a deal that leads to the bankruptcy of the country 12 months 24 months 36 months from now so it's not just about what happens June 1st it's about what what happens in future years as well so just to clarify that so if it is not below 100 then that for you would be means uh for the default even though of course that's what you want to avoid but that would be a red line over the course of time we're not going to get back down to 100 of GDP over over 12 or 24 mont
hs but over the course of time the debt is a percentage of GDP has to come back down to a healthy level for the economy the non-profit committee for responsible federal budget estimates that in order to hold the national debt to its current levels Congress would need to find eight trillion dollars in savings over the next decade in addition to other measures like tax increases would you support tax increases to help reduce the national debt well I'd rather us go back to the Baseline spending tha
t we had before so the Democrats spent over three trillion dollars in the American Rescue plan on the inflation inflation reduction act so when we talk about 8 trillion that is a that is an extremely large number but let's remember the Democrats spent 3 trillion in the last 24 months without a single Republican vote in those two pieces of legislation alone and that three trillion dollars represents about 10 percent of what the statutory debt limit is right now today as we speak so uh I I think t
hat a good healthy economy leads to economic growth and and if you look at what the the last tax package did we've actually had higher tax revenues than we've ever had with a lower tax rate Lindsay so a lot a lot of people think that if you simply raise the tax rate that you're going to get more tax revenue the problem is that's never worked out that way you actually get less tax revenue when you raise rates so a better regulatory environment A Better Business climate that leads to economic grow
th and so and so you get there through a combination of economic growth along with reasonable spending reductions you serve on the house armed services committee and your district is home to two U.S Air Force bases the U.S spent 887 billion dollars on defense spending in fiscal year 2022 that's more than the next 10 Nations combined according to the nonpartisan Pete Peterson foundation so should serious cuts to defense spending beyond the table in order to get long-term deficits under control I
I think that the defense department can certainly do better job better job with the money that we give them if you look at uh their their efficiency in that in that agency I certainly think that there are means for them to achieve more with less funds and so uh again the the debt the debt that we face today is a national security threat just as well as China is a national security threat so I think we can and should do a better job with spending in the dod and I would tell you that those other u
h countries that that fall below us many of those countries are very dependent upon the U.S for their National Security as well and so again that's where you get to you know our partners have got to be willing to pay more of their share if you will for the security of the world and Congressman Before I Let You Go just really quickly if you were a betting man what do you say the odds are that we will be able to avoid default I do not think that you will see a long-term default so I think we'll br
each June 1st we we may I don't think you'll see a breach that lasts into into mid-june or anywhere along those lines we continue to have tax receipts coming in I just want Lindsay you to know that I as a republican none of us wanted to be in this position we wanted the president to start negotiating with us way back in January he refused to do that and uh and I'm glad that we're having the negotiations now and I hope they go well over the next several days we all certainly do Congressman Austin

lks to try to get a deal to raise the nation's debt limit before a looming deadline that's now just days away negotiations could have a wide reaching impact on the American economy hitting everything from the stock market to Social Security payments and jobs with the White House warning even a short-term default could result in nearly 2 million jobs lost the talks today come after negotiations broke down over the weekend President Biden returned from his overseas his trip early for face-to-face
talks with Republican house Speaker Kevin McCarthy which took place at the White House this evening and as time runs short of the stakes for the American economy could not be more dire with treasury secretary Janet Yellen warning that the U.S could run out of cash to pay its bills as soon as June 1st leading to potentially catastrophic consequences here's ABC's chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce tonight with talks at a standstill President Biden and house Speaker Kevin McCarthy alone in
the Oval Office behind closed doors trying to get a deal across the Finish Line to avoid a global economic catastrophe he still has some disagreements but I think we may be able to get where we have to go we both know we have a significant responsibility their teams have been negotiating on Capitol Hill for days walking out of those meetings with little to show for it I think at the end of the day we could find Common Ground Republicans refused to raise the debt ceiling to pay the nation's bills
unless the president agrees to steep spending cuts they also want to speed up the approval of oil and gas projects and want new work requirements for federal anti-poverty programs Democrats since they took Biden has agreed agreed bending cuts but wants Republicans to raise taxes on wealthiest Americans and corporations it's time for Republicans to accept that there is no bipartisan deal to be made solely solely on their partisan terms the treasury secretary is stressing there is no time to wast

to enter a plea instead choosing a so-called standing silent plea which allows the judge to enter a not guilty plea on his behalf as Mr coburger is standing side I'm going to enter not guilty pleas on each charge it is very unusual that he took that stance historically we found that if someone feels as though the charges that are being levied against them are unfair they can choose that as an act of defiance Police Department prosecutors say they have more than twenty thousand pieces of evidence
including items seized during this search of coburger's apartment at nearby Washington State along with DNA from a knife sheath found next to the victim's cell phone data and surveillance footage showing his white Hyundai near the crime scene our thanks to Cana for that now to the war in Ukraine as Russia says that they have taken control of one key City despite denials from Ukrainian officials at the same time there are new attacks inside Russia's borders ABC's Tom Sufi Burridge reports tonigh

the capital of Georgetown the fire broke out just after midnight at a boring school which catered to mostly indigenous regions and villages in the region firefighters managed to rescue 20 students once they arrived on the scene officials say an investigation is now underway a former British Army veteran has made mountaineering history Hari Buddha magar lost both legs in Afghanistan but that didn't stop him from scaling the world's tallest pick the 43 year old reached the top of Mount Everest in

ed in a prisoner swamp with Russia but that there will be an end to this and there are people in DC that feel the same way and they're moving toward a compromise and resolution to this as quickly as they can now to a new look at the plane crash a half century ago that left a rugby team prisoners of the snow high in the Andes Mountains and the desperate lengths that they went to in order to survive a special edition of 2020 Chronicles the crash of your uh you're a guy in Air Force flight 571 incl
uding new interviews with five survivors who tell the inspiring yet terrifying story of their 72-day Fight For Life take a look hunger is the worst fear a human being can have the most primal fear not knowing when you're going to eat again Harbor they were so desperate the toothpaste became like an incredible dessert budget was to have some toothpaste in the mouth for some seconds from trying to eat it very slow we tried to make tea from from the tobacco but it's impossible they realize we're go
nna die pretty quickly with that food and the body can't survive very long without food so you can be hungry if you miss a meal but starvation means that your body is eating its own muscle and fats and then when all your fats gone and it starts eating your organs as well even your heart gets smaller you'll never understand the deep anxiety of hunger until you feel your body feeding upon itself and you feel it you're eating yourself consuming yourself and the subject is raised about well if we're
not rescued what are we going to do about food they began searching for anything else they tear the airplane seats apart to see if they're straw inside that they can eat they try to eat leather and it makes them sick become like person by other chemicals and and your mouth becomes black or blue and so they knew they had to eat something and the only choice available was the bodies of the Dead passengers eventually some of the boys approached the subject with the captain Marcelo the Marcelo didn
't accept the idea and no no is it terrible they were coming for us and they must wait the 10th day we go out very early in the morning and we still received the notice that the rescue was suspended it was really hard for us in the middle of the Andes and and know that we want to be rescued and they called off the search because they thought well look we're just looking for a fuselage and dead bodies they'll get the bodies in February when the snow melts and it'll be easy to find them that's wha
t they say so it's like everything you were hoping for forget it when I realized that the search had been called off um I froze I almost went into Panic we were dead men walking but we are still walking and be sure to tune in for the special edition of 2020 prisoners of the snow tonight on ABC and streaming later on Hulu the word big can be used to describe a multitude of attributes you can have a big personality big ideas or a big heart but can also be turned into something negative I spoke wit
h children's book author and illustrator vashti Harrison about how her new book is shining a light on just how much words can help or hurt a child's self-image so I stopped at this particular page because of the playground scene and the swing set and I'm curious how your own story is reflected in in this particular moment this is the one part of the story that is true to my experience I did get stuck in a swing when I was younger and I will never forget it it was kind of a very extreme charged m
oment and it very much made it clear to me that my body did not fit and it made things feel so impossible to change and what I wanted for the character in this book is to just be able to make more space for herself in a way that I never felt like I could or never had the power to tell us about this main character who's Big in so many ways but the words that are used often make her feel so small yeah the negative feedback the language that the adults use around her she takes as as they are the au
thorities in her life the words kind of affect her in different ways and part of this is me wanting to reflect on the adultification of black girls in America and a lot of the work that I've been interested in making over the past couple of years has been inspired by having read the study that came out of the Georgetown Law Center on poverty and inequality it's called girlhood interrupted and the study found that black girls as young as the age of five are viewed as less innocent and more adult
than their white counterparts and this results in in people believing that black girls deserve or need less nurturing and less care and while the main character is black I imagine this is something that women of young girls of all Races can relate to certainly I'm I'm mostly interested in the intersection of adultification bias and anti-fat bias and honestly so many people have told me have written to me already that they see themselves in the story that this is their story and it's definitely m
y story as well I feel like the journey towards self-love that this character goes on is something that so many of us are working through so it's been really nice to know that lots of people are able to connect with her what is the the message often we see children's books are really geared toward children but I feel like there's also a message here for adults I feel like it's twofold on one hand I really want kids who read this book to be able to walk away with the knowledge that they get to De
fine who they are they don't have to let anyone else's labels of them Define them they're still growing and changing and they get to choose who they're going to become but I also want adult readers to read this book I hope they come away with an extra thoughtfulness and concern over the language we use with children how even things that we don't mean mean to say or intend to say can stick with kids in a negative way when we talk about the words I thought it was interesting that on many of the pa
ges you don't have any words at all it's just the illustration why did you decide to do that I think as an illustrator I wanted to be able to tell a story that connected with readers to really brought readers into the emotion of the character led us into her world and her space and in some of these really quiet moments it doesn't require any words for us to find that connection with the character but at a certain point the physicality of the book the quality of printing words on a page becomes p
art of the narrative so I thought it was really important to kind of showcase how words function in the story and what happens you know when they're said by accident or on purpose or taken internally so it moves the words move around in interesting ways on the page in a sort of meta way for transport yeah people into exactly perhaps unfamiliar world describe yourself as a best-selling Creator rather than author or illustrator that's funny I I think probably because I'm an author and illustrator
and filmmaker and maker and crafter I really just want to be able to make work um and meet kids where they are and so sometimes that might be through books or stories or illustrations or paintings maybe it's toys or animation or film and television so I'm always interested in learning new ways to to create and share stories when did you first realize that your hobby or passion was really going to be this big you know I think social media kind of changed things for me I was able to connect with p
eople on a on a level that didn't quite exist for me before and so from the time that I just started drawing for fun and practicing for fun I realized that people were reaching out to me just hungry for more because they had never seen black mermaids and black fairies in the way that I drew them so I think um I just feel really passionately about connecting with people and creating the work that we were desperate to have and didn't know we needed where were these books when we grew up you know u
h my favorite thing about being a Creator right now is there's so many great books and it's because people are growing up and making the stories that they never had um so I feel so lucky to be a part of a generation of authors and illustrators who are making books and other pieces of art to sort of reject old thinking and to create space for for more of us Reflections for for more of us our thanks to vashti Harrison and big is now available wherever books are sold and still to come to young men

As a senior citizen on social security and SNAP benefits, if Congress and our President can't come to an agreement and they go into default, I say that every single person on Medicare and Social Security should sue the government for breach of promise.
There is no other candidate on either side better than Donald J Trump for president. He is the only one that has shown success on a global scale as well as domestic. I like DeSantis, but I will not ever vote for him, nor anyone else until Trump has finished what we started to bring America back and save her from disaster. TRUMP 2024!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Notice how there are never any black Americans in the news getting bitten by sharks. It’s called common sense.
Why did the US send billions to Ukraine monthly when they didn't have enough for domestic services without going into debt? Financial incompetency on both sides of the aisle means those responsible needs to find another line of work.
Eventually people will get tired ofvevil trump
Joe is GREAT at FCKING things UP AGAIN!!!
Funny how Scot had a quote when he was proving that lowering taxes can improve revenue, but NOT when he claimed that raising taxes wont do that.
I vote for anyone except Donald Trump or Biden
Tim Scott most likely won't win the Presidency office, but it was smart move to win Black votes making it more difficult for the other candidates to win majority.
America need president that’s 40 to 60. The old folks not doing a good job anymore
Ever have your phone glitch? Ever have water, food, grease, smug on your fingers? Imagine being woken up in the middle of the night by a noise, wipe your eye, and grab your gun. Have to shoot three armed people breaking in your home and the gun doesn't fire because you have dirty fingers. Or, your fighting with the person who has broken into your home and your wife has to grab your gun to save yours and her life, but no the gun won't fire. No thank you. I will just keep my firearms out of the reach of kids. But accessible for responsible adults. It's not the firearms, it's the person handling them.
It’s better to buy a few thousand dollar vehicle then go into debt for a vehicle that’ll keep you in debt and lose value the second you drive it off the lot 😂
Need a native American or should I say us indigenous people in the office and legalize marijuana federally the whole entire country tax it and there is your money!
You guys need to look at Canada's policies around guns. As well as the percentages of death by gun. Take a look at the difference in percentages of the u.s. and Canada
2 million federal employees we don’t need them fire
Rachael Bade is gorgeous...and nicely hair done today. She can make a lot more money doing modeling
Military needs to spend less money and do more has Scott looked at the price of cars. I can't even imagine what it would cost for the fighter jets or the tags or the submarines or anything else for that matter does he not want to protect the backs of the Northwest Passage
I'm just glad there are no taxes on private jets and super-yachts.
Hearing the story about the Andes crash survivors reminded me of the Donner party, who actually did survive by eating leather. But it was a different time.
Get ready the bank is going bankrupt. Nomore social security payments for the poor.
