3:16 am
is here at the moment to magnitude 7 of us quite kids. funny want to we look at the damage across the south pacific nation, the in depth analysis of the days headlines. what are we supposed to read pins through the use of basically you miss all by russian informed opinions. finally, after over a year of genocide, the i c. c has come to this decision, critical debate. the difference between china and most of the rest of the world is a china plans long term inside story do conferences and meetings like cop $29.00 and others make a difference on how to 0 over 27000 harrowing photographs as kimberly until they can do that to us, the evidence in this case is frankly even stronger than that that we had against

3:18 am
a tens of thousands of people when missing ones of the sun's regime is reported that thousands were buried in a mess, great north of the capital of damascus. you ins invoices. serious says there's growing international consensus to recognize new administration petterson to address the security council for an inclusive, difficult transition. free and fair elections. a mass says a cease fire task that is possible if israel stop setting new conditions. so any defense minister says the deal is closer than that, the source to make comments pushing for the street from us continue to control guns a suspect to the high profile. kidding of a us health insurance executive has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism . we g monday and he is accused of shooting dash united health care chief executive braun thompson the your 2 weeks ago when jenny was arrested in pennsylvania after 5
3:19 am
day man hunt. the case attracted worldwide attention with many online criticizing insurance industry and on the affordable health care. this was a frightening, well planned, targeted murder that was intended to cause shock and attention and intimidation. it occurred in one of the most bustling parts of our city, straining the safety of local residents, interest the legs, commuters, and business people just starting out on their day. let me say this plainly. there is no heroism in what men gianni did. this was a senseless act of violence. it was a cold and calculated crime that stole a life and putting new yorkers at risk. we don't celebrate murders and we don't lie and ice the killing of any one and any attempt to rationalize this is a vile,
3:20 am
reckless and offensive to our deeply held principles of justice around these other and is a criminal defense attorney. and former prosecutor is also adjunct professor of laura cornell low school. he joins us from new york, welcome to the program. so what do you make of the nature and seriousness of these challenges? i think like a lot of my colleagues there was a bit of a surprise and a bit of hey, wait a 2nd um and there was certainly a pause for reflection in new york just about every murder that is committed is murder in the 2nd degree murder in the 1st degree is reserved uh, typically for the killing of a police officer, the killing of a judge. i don't know that many of us, particularly in the legal community, expected mr. mann, joan, to be charged with murder. in the 1st degree. i think we all assume that would be
3:21 am
murdering the 2nd degree is a very interesting analysis that the district attorney has undertaken by looking at the killing and saying, well, it intimidated the population of new york city. therefore, it would sit within the definition of murder in the 1st degree, and that's why we have an indictment for murder in the 1st degree as opposed to the typical murder in the 2nd degree is found guilty and obviously we don't know that's um how much these kinds of uh, charges counts that affect the nature of any sentencing. certainly murder in the 1st degree. and again, it's so rarely charged in new york. murder in the 1st degree does carry with it a penalty over and above the usual murder and the secondary break. and what we're talking about here is the difference in the minimum and the mandatory side of the sentencing with a murder in the 1st degree. there is the possibility on the maximum and of life
3:22 am
without the possibility of parole in new york, typically with murder. in the 2nd degree, you have the top end of it is the possibility of life, but not life without the possibility of parole. conversely, on the minimum and on murder, in the 2nd degree, you're talking about $15.00 to $25.00 as opposed to the minimum it with murder in the 1st degree being 20. so there was an enhancement of penalty. there is that possibility of life without the possibility of parole, which is certainly a bit of a scary proposition. so that's where we see the difference, the differences in the penalty when we talk about the difference between your usual murder in the 2nd degree. and here the a typical murder in the 1st degree. right. and what about this description of an act of terrorism? uh, how much that was the right for other cases in the future. it's hard to say
3:23 am
how. 7 charging mister man g only dieting him on murder in the 1st degree will affect the future of his case. or really any other case, i can tell you that certain way. um, it was a creative charging decision at a creative decision by the district attorney's office to present the grand jury with the option of been guiding for murder in the 1st degree. and again, this notion of the way the murder was committed. it was done so brazenly, it was done in a method and in a manner that would have intimidated the population of new york city. and that's exactly what the statute calls for. whether we're talking about intimidating the population or intimidating the government, the way that the model was carried out
3:24 am
a certain way on a busy street 6th avenue. yes, it was 6 45 in the morning, but lots of people are out in manhattan at 6 45 in the morning. that degree of planning and the degree of doing it in the open. the termination factor is what elevates it from 2nd degree to 1st degree. okay, around the southern, thanks so much indeed for your insights that thank you. thank you. kind of the governing pots is internal of the deputy prime minister, resigned, and an active defense against. just ensure that christopher freeland was also a finance minister and considered should as mostly oil. i'm not in a statement. the feeling says she found a self at all. and so the prime minister and criticize today for political gimmicks . she says they also disagreed on how to handle terrace, threatened by incoming us present. and next, donald trump today, who is left the country for nearly
