the custody of morality police. protesters burning scarves in tehran chanting death. it comes after state medical authorities announce ma masha amini's death was from a previous medical condition. according to their report, she lost consciousness and fell due to a heart rhythm disorder and low blood pressure. her death sparked three weeks of wide spread protests. tank thanks for joining us. time for "anderson". good evening. since a gunman stormed robb elementary school in uvalde, texas killing ing students and teachers, police not doing what every police officer is trained to do, neutralize the shooter. two things, transparency with the families and survivors and

accountability for the failures that horrible day. this week in no smart part due to the reporting of shimon revealed the school district police department hired a former state trooper under investigation for her actions during the mass sacre, i should say lack of actions during the massacre and shimon uncovered this video of her on the day of the massacre talking to other officers. listen. >> reporter: an officer asked if her children attend rob eloquent men starry. her response. >> do you have kids in there? >> my son is in daycare. he's not old enough. >> i saw you -- >> yeah, no, no. if my son had been in there, i would not have been outside, i promise you that. >> she said if her son had been inside the school, quote, i would not have been outside. i promise you that. so last night we learned there officer has been fired by the school district. fired the day after shim mon ha

tried to get answers why she was hired in the first place since she was under investigation. the student director services. >> do you know this officer you have recently hired? are you aware she's under investigation for her actions on the day of the shooting? do you think she's fit to serve here? considering that her actions are under investigation? mr. miller? you don't want to respond to that? >> the one silently slamming his door on shimon was kenneth miller suspended with the entire school police force. we have more on that. so first of all, he was suspended and then -- >> he retired. he essentially walked away and said he was retiring and left the school system after many

years. he's very well-known in this community. he's the number three guy at the school district and so he retired. >> so with the suspensions, what does that mean? they suspended the whole school police force. >> essentially right now this police force doesn't exist. i just looked on the website, the school website, they wiped them out. you don't see any photos of the officers, the names are gone. so right now, this police force no longer exists. the school said they are conducting an investigation and once they're done with their internal investigation of the officers who responded to the shooting, they'll figure out what to do. for right now, they no longer exist. the officers are about five officers. they've been placed on administrative duty for -- >> so they're still being paid? >> they're still being paid and working for the school but no longer police officer, at least for now with the school -- >> so who is protecting the schools? >> so it's the department of public safety. >> the dps. >> the state organization. they've been there. they have an agreement with the

town to police the schools, to help keep them safe. the parents have agreed to that even though obviously, there is a lot of concern over their response to the shooting but the one thing that the state has assured them is that the officer from the dps who are patrolling the schools now were not present on the day of the shooting. >> and just to be clear, the dps had some 90 or so -- >> 91. >> 91 officers at the school on the day of the shooting. how many of them are under investigation? >> seven -- well now six. six of those officers, state troopers, rangers, various employees of the dps responded on scene, some of them within minutes are now under investigation. >> she was fired from the school district, would she still be under investigation with dps? >> she would be. she would be under investigation. i was told, actually, recently the dps was so concerned with her activity that day that they

likely would have ultimately fired her as well. the other thing significant is there was a lieutenant, lieutenant hernandez at the school. we talked about him last night. he was in charge of vetting the officer. there was a failure there. we don't have an accounting from the school, anyway they have not explained themselves how that vetting took place. again, time and team gagain sine day one, the school has never answered any questions. >> you and i talked about this early on, that, you know, i don't know if it's everybody but a lot of actions by law enforcement, by burro kcrats pu t this down the road. >> i went to them last week, last thursday. a week and a day to the day. we were there. we were asking questions. i called them.

i emaileded them and said we w working on a story and they kept ignoring us. they still ignore us. when our story aired the next day, we started seeing them respond by firing the officer and then obviously, the actions today which i have to tell you, anderson, are completely shocking. nobody in this community and certainly none of the family members would have thought they would ever see this day. this is something they have been fighting for from day one and they never ever expected to see this kind of action. >> and you had some reporting about the superintendent. >> that's right. he -- well, interestingly enough, i think he's faced a lot of heat in this. obviously -- >> the superintendant of the school district. >> he's been there 31 years. superintendent about four years. there was a lot of pressure on him. he finally told his staff starting next week, the process will begin for him to retire. he will be gone, too. this is something the family members have wanted. they have been in heated discussions with him at every

school board meeting because he would refuse to answer questions. they wanted him gone -- >> i want to point out. we're still waiting for a conclusive report on exactly -- >> anderson, i don't know if we'll get a conclusive report on what happened. the texas department of public safety was running this entire investigation. it not entirely clear what they're going to do. they're done. they have everything they need. the district attorney, the local district attorney is running her own investigation but people don't trust her. the community isn't very happy with her. she's limited what the police and what the texas department of public safety can say about this. >> so they may not ever put out a report saying here is exactly what went wrong minute by minute? >> they may never do that. not only that, the d.a. is forbidding them, any law enforcement official from releasing any information. there are people that want to release information but she's stopping them from releasing that information. >> remashrkable reporting. appreciate you staying on this.

>> thank you. our next guest is the legal guardian of a boy murdered at robb elementary. for days he's led a protest, camping out there for more than a week. today he tweeted this out 245-hour update. we did it. we're going home. brit cross joins us now from uvalde, brett. thank you for being with us. again, i am so sorry for your loss. i got to say when i heard you were out there kind of on your own sitting out there hour after hour, day after day, i wasn't sure anyone was listening. i wasn't sure you were going to get what you wanted and you did it. i mean, how does -- how does that feel? >> it feels amazing. and i wasn't out there alone. i mean, i stayed there. i never left. but we had people coming in and out and supporting us like

crazy. but it's our first win. you know, and i'm ecstatic about it. >> what have other family members told you tonight about how they're feeling, how they're reacting? >> oh, there were other family members there. we've all became a big family. it's not even 21 families anymore. it one big one, you know. we did it. all of us did. >> when we spoke on wednesday, you said uvalde school district wasn't giving you any answers. obviously, this was a step today but there is still a lot of answers to be had. what more do you want to see happen, do you hope happens? >> i just -- i just want transparency. i just want anybody who had anything to do with the failures that day to be held accountable. you know? i mean, it's not -- i'm not asking for much, just -- we just want to see action. you know? >> you know, i was talking to

shimon now and i wasn't sure if you heard it. what i had thought would eventually happen and what would be the just thing to happen, at the very least in terms of transparency, some sort of a report that details second by second who made what decision, who didn't make any decisions, what they did wrong and how it violated policy at every, you know, as each second checked by. >> yes, sir and i hope we get it. unfortunately, the way things are going we don't get things like that but i hope that it is unearthed and i hope that it is published because we deserve it. our children deserve it. you know, we've already had our worlds ripped away. the least that everybody can do is to get that out to show the inaction, to show who did what and then be held accountable for

it. you know, our kids are dead and there is no bringing them back but, you know, there is justice and we need justice. >> you know, back when, you know, i'm not sure how many months ago it was but what shimon was talking to arredondo and cornered him to get him to say something, he said he talked to the parents once you-all quit grieving and i just thought that was such a horrific statement that even that idea that there is going to be some time when you get over this, when you quit grieving. >> yeah, and that just goes to show you what kind of person he was. because you don't quit grieving. we're never going to quit grieving. like i said, our worlds were ripped from us and, you know, there are people out there that expect us to just move on and there is no moving on.

a piece of me is gone and never coming back. >> the uvalde -- shim mon said e board is expected to discuss the superintendent's retirement on monday. what's your reaction to that? >> i mean, it has been a long, long day so i'm still trying to comprehend. i was expecting for them this whole time to suspend those officers but then we have two put onned a ed administrative le person resigning and then, you know, the superintendent talking about resigning. it's been a lot but if that's what he feels he needs to do then all we want is for things to be right. >> yeah. well, i mean, it's extraordinary what you and so many in the community have done and are doing for -- to be grieving and

turn that grief into action and action that gets -- that motivates other actions is an extraordinairery thing and i appreciate your strength and gives hope to a lot of people in the world. >> thank you. coming up next, a former cia director, a four star again rem -- general concerns vladimir putin may go nuclear and if president biden was wise to invoke that and using the word armageddon and reporting on herschel walker, now two alleged abortion offers, not one. he allegedly urged an ex-girlfriend to have allegedly two abortions and also, that same person is the alleged mother of one of his children. more details ahead. what will you do? ♪ what will you change? ♪ will you make something better? ♪ will you create something entirely new?

france said today about president biden's remarks about russia and nuclear war. president biden last night said we haven't faced the probability of armageddon since the cuban missile crisis and there isn't an ability to use a tactical weapon and not end up with armageddon. tonight the president is to -- the question is to president macron's point was he being careless, president biden when discussing the subject? m.j. lee is at the white house tonight. what is the white house saying about the comments he made? >> reporter: in private, there was some surprise even among senior administration officials because remember, these comments were unplanned. they were unscripted. nobody sort of expected the president to go this route, and then publicly we've seen officials really try to quickly get out there and explain look, one, here is where the president is coming from and this was his mind set. he was trying to speak frankly about the general threat and the

seriousness of this issue and second, officials have been quick to point out that there is no new intelligence, new evidence, no new development that prompted the president to make this warning. this is white house press secretary john pierre juggling this to reporters earlier today. >> the president's comments have been consistent. he was reenforcing what we've been saying, which is how seriously we take these threats about nuclear weapons as we have done when the russians have made these threats throughout the conflict. so the kind of irresponsible rhetoric we have seen is no way for the leader of a nuclear armed state to speak. we have not seen any reason to adjust our own strategic nuclear posture, nor do we have indications russia is preparing to imminently use nuclear weapons. >> reporter: so key here, the u.s.' nuclear poster is not changing. one official i was talking to said it was important people don't hear what the president said and start panicking or start, you know, feeling alarm

that really emphasizing that there is no new policy or really new cause for alarm right now. >> yeah. m.j. lee, thanks. want to get perspective from four star agaigeneral david por yez. he said there is no way to use a tactical weapon and not end up with armageddon. why would one try to use a tactical weapon? >> i think what we really see is a reflection how desperate vladimir putin is and how desperate the russian situation is, actually, anderson. he's grasping for anything that could possibly get him out of this enormous fix he's found himself in as a result of his decisions where the ukrainians now have a larger and much more capable military force on ukrainian soil than do the russians. he's tried this at gunpoint

annexation of provinces, the partial mobilization, which is resulted more russian men leaving the country than going to concessions and now this threatening of the use of tactical nuclear weapons and i think what is happening in the white house jake sullivan and now the president publicly and also jake privately communicating to the russians that this would be a seriously bad idea. jake sullivan's word is that the response would be catastrophic and i tend to agree. i think that any use of tactical nuclear weapons by russia would actually put russia in a worse situation than it was before the use and would not change the overall dynamic that is so stark for russia that again, ukraine mobilized vastly better than has russia aided of course by over $17.5 billion worth of u.s. arms, ammunition and material and more from other nato and western countries. so russia is in a desperate

situation casting about for anything and i think again, the use of nuclear weapons which by the way would probably kill many of their own soldiers, as well as of of the ukrainian side but would not change the fundamental reality on the battle field which is that russia is losing and is going to lose farther. they're desperately trying to reestablish defensive lines in the east and slowed the ukrainian advance somewhat but it continues and they're gradually losing ground in the south, as well around kherson where the ukrainians are very impressively using our rockets to isolate the russian forces literally pushing every headquarters logistical asset of the russians more than 70 kilometers from the front lines. it's a very tough situation. >> would any use by a tactical nuclear weapon by the russians, what would that trigger as a response? >> well, i'm quite confident that what the national security team has worked up for the

president first of all is just an intelligence estimate that lays out here are the possibilities and then here is a range of options that we would consider once the specific use has actually taken place. and there would be a range. it could have a variety. it would probably include much, much more than just military action but that military action could include strikes against russian forces, perhaps by the u.s. led multi national forces that could put russia in an even deeper hole than it already is in ukraine perhaps including crimea and perhaps including the black sea. again, all of these to be very clear, these are all options that would be presented with the recommendation once the specific action has actually taken place. of course, what they're very clearly trying to do and not just the white house but members of congress just back from the

warsaw security forum. there was a congressional representation there very large ukrainian delegation there as well and certainly other western capitals and others trying to persuade putin this would again be a colossal mistake on top of what is already a disastrous mistake for russia. >> the president also said according to this report, the first time since the cuban missile crisis there is a direct threat of use of a nuclear weapon. how does the threat in this situation compare to the one 60 years ago? >> well, i think there is a lot of debate about that, anderson, whether this is truly as close to a -- that was a nuclear armageddon in the making. and, you know, lots and lots of discussion by the so-called wizards of armageddon about that particular episode, endless stories on the particularly influential analysis by alison at harvard and so forth. i don't know that you can equate this to that but that doesn't

matter. this is a very serious moment. it's a very dangerous moment and it's one that administration again together with members of congress from other party and countries around the world are seeking to detour and to dissuade putin from what would be a catastrophic decision with, as jake sullivan termed it, a catastrophic response. >> general, thank you for your time as always. thank you. >> good to be with you, around s -- anderson, thanks. ukrainian forces continue to push back and take back territory east of the country. nick paton walsh is following the rapid progress as russian forces in the east bank retreat and the only international reporters we know of to have gotten this far down river. here is what they found. a warning first, some of it is graphic. >> reporter: just ahead is russia in retreat. the road cut by a bridge blown four days ago as they fled.

a lightning ukraine advance along the river bank here. russian jets firing back. kyiv's forces again moving around an enemy stuck in park and reverse. left in russia's wake, this older anti-aircraft system still working we're told and the signs of how they lived in the open. didn't find any bodies. they ran and left it. a rush to gather the harvest since march, the russians moved in next door. until monday when they seemed to have ditched even their clothes. the air is only slightly freer now but still here, they spent last night underground. at night, it's hardest he says. you just don't know who is shooting where. we brought our food down here so

it doesn't get torched. most of his wife's family live in russia. but here, the russians came to live next door to them one night drunk and armed. one came out and said who are you? b waving his gun at us he says. he was drunk. it pretty dangerous. they are literally in the cross fire here. theless you know, the longer you live under the trees worried about drones. less you know, th you live under the trees worried about drones. we lived a good life. never touched anyone. all along the road, the failing empire on the run. the ukrainians struggling to keep up with what was left behind. here on sunday they took 50 prisoners including newly mobilized conscripts, this soldier's home is literally in

sight, an occupied land so he doesn't show his face. there is no greater motivation he says. he d we didn't ask them to come here, home, everyone home, it is our land. the smell of your home -- it's just. for others home is almost a trap. she is stuck here as a 92-year-old mother can't walk. she's hidden under the bedding. they have only milk and biscuits to eat and when there is shelling, this is no basement so she lays on top of mama. image anyone not being able to move when the ground is shaking. >> [ speaking non-english ]

>> reporter: she covers her again so she doesn't fall out of bed when she goes out. outside, the highway is busy. however fast ukraine moves through here, nothing can be undone or bring the old silence back. >> i mean, nick, that mother just laying in that bed unable to move, what comes next for all these people you spoke with in these places caught in between? >> reporter: indeed. that is a family, the daughter of whom is actually having to borrow milk from the neighbors to add to the biscuits they have to feed her mother you saw there. now, these are towns which are as you said caught within the cross fire here that found themselves under occupation for a number of months since march with at times you heard there, the drunken occupying forces that would at times leave them

alone but at times wonder around waving weapons at them. of course, with the ukrainian forces pushing back there has been violence over the past weeks also a sense of relief certainly, i think the difference you sometimes feel in the south is the unmistakable sense of people desperately keen to seeing ukrainian forces again at times in the east you occasionally feel the sort of pressure of russian forces and what they called acced separate rare moments in the eastern areas but certainly not south they're looking the hope is this stays the way it is and a sense of shock to the speed of the ukraine advance and a nuclear power and the threats that russia is making, in stark contrast is how appallingly the conventional forces are doging n the ground and food, sleeping

materials and essential defenses for their positions and that does make you wonder exactly quite what is behind russia sense of nuclear threats here providing any sense of comfort. >> nick paton walsh, thank you. a new allegations by georgia republican herschel walker reportedly having an abortion the same woman who is reportedly the mother of one of his children. what she is now saying ahead. financial picture. l with the right balance of risk and d reward. so you can enjoy morore of...this. this is the planning effffect.

tonight "the new york times" says herschel walker paid for her abortion in 2009 and urged her to terminate a second pregnancy but she chose not to. as a father, he's done nothing. he's done what the courts say and that's it. she adds he has to be held responsible like the rest of us and if you run for office, own your life. you'll recall walker supporting a national ban on abortions with no exceptions. this new allegation comes as we learn that campaign fired the political director for suspicion of leaking information to the press. we are joined with me. what more do we know about this report in the "times" and what it could mean for walker's race. >> off the top, anderson, i'll say as dramatic as these developments are and as damming as these accusations appear to

be, the reporting cnn has done this week including a rally in georgia suggestions walker supporters are sticking by him and the republican accomplishment will continue investing in their candidate. we're not seeing, we're just not seeing conservatives abandoned walker at all and the race between him and raphael warnock remains really competitive. for this times report, this woman says two years after she had an abortion at walker's urging, he wanted her to have another one. she decided to go through with the pregnancy and he has largely been out of the picture since seeing their 10-year-old son just three times over the years. we have reached out to the campaign for comment and cnn is still working to confirm the allegations. for our viewers who don't know herschel walker, here is how we came to run for senate in georgia among the most important races in the country. >> no one can touch him. what a run. >> reporter: herschel walker leaning into his legendary

football status in the run for senate. >> just a little town where i grew up. >> reporter: one of seven children walker was born in rural georgia where his small town high school team helped launch him to fame. >> the winner of the 1982 heisman memorial trophy from the university of georgia, herschel walker. [ applause ] >> reporter: a heisman trophy winner and football star, his career would ultimately carry him to the pros. >> herschel walker's debut as a professional football player. >> reporter: before the nfl would take him he played for an alternative in the '80 where he would meet team owner donald trump. >> i don't want to take a chance on losing herschel walker. >> reporter: it would continue on the field as the president appointed herschel walker to the counsel on sports, nutrition and fitness. >> the great herschel walker. what an amazing guy. >> reporter: eventual actually would back walker's ambitions urging him to run for the u.s.

senate in georgia. >> you know, herschel is not only a georgia hero but american legend. >> reporter: like trump, walker is known to go off script and delivered disjointed statements, walker easily won the gop primary this year despite public controversies throughout his life. he spoke to cnn in 2008 with his battle with dhis disorder. >> you can get angry and go out and hurt someone and that's when you know you have a problem. >> reporter: walker's ex-wife talked about how walker threatened her with weapons. >> the guns and knives and i got into it a few choking things with him. >> reporter: walker acknowledged those allegations. >> herschel walker told us he was troubled by his actions. he will always deeply regret any pain he caused cindy. >> reporter: according to a 2012 police report, an ex-girlfriend

said walker threatened to kill her. walker denies the claims. walker's turbulent past made it into the campaign as a focus of democratic attack ads. >> details tonight about accusations. >> reporter: walker dealing with a different kind of allegation, a claim reported by the daily beast and "the new york times" that the staunch anti abortion candidate paid for a former girlfriend to have an abortion more than a decade ago. the woman says she's also the mother of one of his children. >> this year, the abortion thing is false. it's a lie. >> reporter: cnn has not independently confirmed the allegations. as walker repeatedly denies the report, republicans have rallied to defend their nominee with the outcome of the race deciding not just walker's political future but potentially control of the senate next year. >> let me tell you this, i'm not detoured. i'm not scared. i'm not going to bite down. the stakes are way, way too high. we're going to win this race.

>> and senator raphael warnock, the democrat ted ic candidate wt campaigning today. what did he say about the allegations? >> he called them disturbing but doesn't seem too interested in engaging in this further. he said georgia has a choice to see who is ready to represent them in the senate and back to the policy issue at hand saying he supports a woman's right to choose. >> appreciate it. thank you. ahead, the nine justices of the supreme court today took their new class photo and it red reflects a number and shows the disstress in the court at an all time high and anita hill that testified against clarence thomas in his hearing 30 years ago. that sets strict quality and purity standards. nature made. the number one pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand. at booking.com, finding perfect isn't rocket science. kitchen? sorted.

talking about a highly political or poll liz -- politicized issue, everybody will be watching to see if they can trust the court to be impartial. >> how do you think the court gets back credibility? is -- what do you think is the genesis of the -- i mean, i don't know if it's a sign of the times and polarization that exists in america and the lowering of trust in all institutions or is there something you think that can change here? >> well, i sort of look back at the bigger picture and thesish sh -- these issues and we see things that will challenge and test the court's integrity. typically, many of those cases center on civil rights. we've had civil rights protections since especially since the 1960. they have been developed. they have been put in place to reduce barriers that have

impeded participations in schools and universities and schools and workplaces and in voter participation, when it comes to exclusion of minorities, racial minorities and marginalized other marginalized groups historically and those exclusions continue but the measures that we've had in place have actually worked. they have improved their democracy and they have moved this country forward and i see what is happening right now is that we are pushing back, the court has been pushing back for sometime on the protections of those rights in 2014 and in 2013 ruth bader ginsburg descwith th voting rights case where she

warned we were headed in the wrong direction and we see it in the fruition now 20 years later. it not voting rights. andy discrimination and that's why we see more and more of these cases, i'm absolutely and it's going to be before the court. >> justice alito. >> i can say this -- >> go ahead. >> i was going to say, you know, we have three women now who are likely to be in the cases involving rights and protections. i don't know that for sure but i suspect that that is going to be the case. and it's important for the public to hear from them because

i think what the american public needs to do here and needs to know to have confidence in the court is that there are different ways that we can be thinking about rights than sort of miserly ways that the conservative majority seems to be bent on thinking about rights. so i think the descent is going to be an important part of restoring confidence in our legal system. >> one of the things that justice alito said recently, he said that the disagreement with the decision is fine but quote, saying or implying that the kbo court is becoming an illegitimate institution crosses an important line. do you agree with that? >> well, i don't think it crosses an important line w when -- i believe you're referring to justice ca keagon. when the public experiences this

and that's the impression that the public has. >> right. >> the court has a responsibility to respond to it. justices on the supreme court who are concerned about this have a right to respond and give their impression and in the american public deserves a response and not just a blanket denial that that is happening. >> yeah. >> so i think that that is in fact going to only contribute to the sentiment that the public has. >> interesting. professor anita hill, appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. one of the areas in florida hit hard during hurricane ian where thousands lined up for help at a fema center. some lost everything. we'll take you therere today.
