8:03 pm
the other 2 in critical condition right now are in surgery and some other minor injuries have been reported but all of that all of the most of the students who survived the shooting are now off the campus and they're being reunited with their parents and all of the students who are near the shooting are being interviewed some of the people who have posted on social media some of the students who posted on social media that they were near the shooter are actually being interviewed on campus right now and this is a high school we're talking about students between the ages of but 15 and 18 correct. that's absolutely correct and we're hearing that the shooter is 15 years old and there are there are some reports now coming out that mon force one officials have some specific information that nailed down the timeline and make no question about it the shooter or the suspected shooter is the shooter these are unconfirmed reports but apparently there might be some manifesto they the swat team

8:05 pm
do that you have to be 21 to do that here so how this child got his hands on this gun is going to be questions for the next couple of days at least yeah but certainly disturbing news a 15 year old as a shooting suspect jason kemp and only an l.a. bureau chief with n.b.c. news radio jason thank you thank you. u.s. secretary of state might has urged european countries to take back their citizens who joined so-called islamic state and to ensure that those people are prosecuted many former fighters are being held in northern syria guarded by kurdish troops paya met thursday with diplomats from 30 countries involved in the fight against the jihadist group us said countries should hold the thousands of foreign nationals who fought in the name of isis accountable for the atrocities that they committed

in iraq and syria. on thursday 7 german nationals suspected of being connected to i guess landed at an airport in berlin they had been deported from turkey let's take this story now to our chief political correspondent melinda crane she is on the story here in berlin good evening to you melinda turkey announced that in the next few days you've got a total of 11 german citizens he will be repatriated the 1st have arrived here in germany what do we know about the ones who've arrived and about their connection to islamic state. this is a family of 7 people including 4 women and a baby who was born in detention in turkey they were originally from iraq but all but one of them have german citizenship and they had been living in the eastern german town of hilda simon till early this year when they went to turkey
8:07 pm
apparently hoping to go on to syria but in fact after a couple of months turkish authorities detained them and held them until now a spokesperson for the turkish interior ministry referred to them as foreign terrorist fighters but a spokesman for germany's interior ministry said that there is no confirmation of that that he has no indication that in fact that is the case and it's worth noting that although german citizens in principle have a right to return if they are known to have fought for foreign terrorist organizations under a new law passed this spring they can be stripped of their german passport clearly that didn't happen here what we do know is that this family had connections to the solid fist traditionalist group that is a rapidly expanding islamic sect here in germany some of whose members but by no means a majority have espoused jihadist ins and melinda do we know what will happen in
8:08 pm
these german citizens once they do return to germany. well they were these were taken away directly from the plane by by authorities apparently for questioning by several different security services but there is no current arrest warrant for them though apparently the father may be detained on other criminal charges unrelated to terrorism we were also told that the family will remain under surveillance for some time and what are we hearing from german authorities about these return to the impact they may have on the security situation here in germany are people being told that they need to prepare for a higher threat level no in fact the authorities so far are downplaying the threat the interior ministry spokesperson i read referred to said there is
8:09 pm
absolutely no cause for panic that germany is accustomed to dealing with returned and that they are very experienced organizations out there both to help them reintegrate and radicalize if they will wish and of course also the authorities very experienced in keeping them under surveillance the fact is there have already been several dozen returning who came back on a voluntary basis a number of them have faced court proceedings here in germany others have been reintegrated but there are voices in the opposition saying germany doesn't have an adequate plan to deal with what could prove to be many dozens more and that there are said to be as many as $95.00 people with german passports still being detained in the middle east who are thought to have fought with us our chief political correspondent linda green on the story force here in berlin linda thank you. well

prime minister just said picante rushed to the city to assess the situation he promised his government will act swiftly to provide funds and resources. local authorities estimate that more than 85 percent of the city was inundated in the past days. high winds and heavy rain tribe the water level to almost 190 sent to me says it hasn't been this bad since 1966 mayor luigi button yarrow blamed climate change for the extreme weather and said venice was on its knees there's also plenty of anger here since you're agreeing about this and i have a small shop and we had around $15000.00 euros worth of damage i was prepared for a maximum of 60 centimeters of water but it was well over 70 years we didn't have enough electricity and my pump wasn't strong enough to stop it. and undersea barrier called the moser is being constructed to protect venice from high water but
8:13 pm
it's not finished yet it has faced constant delays since construction began in 2003 as locals taken the aftermath of the flooding city officials say the damage could total hundreds of millions of euros. or earlier we spoke to our correspondent julie is in venice and she gave us this wrap up of the situation in the city. venice has gone back at least for today to its normal tides in this time of year the moon and the sun and their effect on the earth's waters. influenced the high tide in venice so today we reached about 110 centimeters which is definitely lower than the record reached on tuesday nights people however are still reeling from the high tide they are counting the damage they're trying to clean up their homes and their shops and they hope that they will receive some help from the government today just epic until the prime minister promised some money that will be readily available for
8:14 pm
citizens and for business owners in the city in the hopes that that will help them kick starter and get back on their feet so vinicius are used to hardship high tides come every year but this one was exceptional no one was expecting it no one was prepared for it and venetians are tough but they are also a little skeptical of what the government has done and will be doing for example the most of this system of very years that is meant to protect venice from the high tide has been in construction for almost 20 years it was meant to be finished 5 years ago but it still hasn't happened and the trust in the government being able to bring that to completion is quite low here. and that was julius i believe there reporting from venice you're watching t w news still to come malnutrition disease and pollution a new report says children could be hardest hit by climate change will bring in our science correspondent for

8:16 pm
the occupy israel submission to conditions to stop the assassinations protect the much of return demonstrators and to begin the procedure is to break the siege of gaza. luck buddy the clashes began after israeli forces killed a senior commander from the palestinian militant group islamic jihad. the fought back firing hundreds of missiles towards israel destroying buildings and when doing resident striking panic into everyday life. it was is really fire power which proved deadliest air strikes on militant targets in the occupied territory of gaza killed dozens many of them civilians and children as real says the ceasefire deal will bring an end to the bloodshed though not the grief. well across the planet climate change is having
8:17 pm
a huge impact on the environment and also on human health it's a major new study says that children will suffer the worst effects you science reporter derek williams explains. rising temperatures will have a major impact on agriculture and global yield potential for staple crops like maize and rice is already in decline if the downward trend continues while populations rise food prices will be driven up leading to more malnutrition among the world's poorest and in children that can affect development dramatically causing lifelong health problems. and climate change is closely tied to another a key factor in child development air quality children born today will on average be breathing in more toxic air than their parents that will cause rates of respiratory diseases like asthma to rise and increase their long term risk of heart
8:18 pm
attack and stroke. the current generation will also experience more extreme weather related events than their parents the health of hundreds of millions of people worldwide has already affected by flooding heat waves droughts and wildfires if we aren't able to keep temperatures from rising under 2 degrees celsius tomorrow's children will be exposed to the hazards of extreme weather throughout their lifetimes. and as temperatures warm the conditions improve for diseases like dengue fever cholera and diarrheal infections the range for mosquitoes that carry viral pathogens is expanding and as their young immune systems haven't developed fully children are much more likely to suffer later health issues or die if they contract those illnesses climate change is already having an effect on child health the report concludes and it will only get worse if the planet continues to warm up. you
8:19 pm
know a disturbing study to talk about that as our science correspondent eric williams right here at the big table with me so which of the dangers that were just mentioned there which of those pose the most immediate danger to children still well i think of the 4 dangers that were really mentioned in the report which is food supply air pollution then the question of infection and spreading infection and the question of excuse me and then the question of of other environmental damage i think that infection is the one that is that going to be actually the most pressing issue because as we see as temperatures rise it raises the range for us for serious trial diseases that up until now remain in the tropics it allows them to migrate into more moderate and more temperate zones and for example we see the expand in the expansion of of the range from misty toes which can act as vectors for diseases like malaria or or dengue fever or west nile virus and at the moment for example in southern europe we're only seeing
8:20 pm
a couple 100 cases of that every year but if temperatures rise dramatically then that that number could be set to explode it's does it i guess it does make a difference where a child grows up then doesn't it oh well it's made a difference where a child grows up for a very very long time you know a child that lives in the heart of europe in out in the country somewhere is obviously going to have a lot better than a child who's going up and in delhi at the moment where we're seeing all of this toxic air pollution and they're also going to be better fed than a child on average in sub-saharan africa but. the thing is they're also going to receive better medical attention but really the ultimate thing that we need to be looking at is that this is about child development these diseases if when things happen at a very specific rate and change children are developing the very very vulnerable at specific in their early lives their immune systems haven't developed yet and they're in. the thing that affects them at that age is going to have lifelong knock
8:21 pm
on effects on lifelong consequences and so it's going to turn into a chronic disease which is really ultimately why they say this generation is going to have to cope with chronic diseases that we never had to cope with and we've always heard about wife expectancies getting longer and longer and longer but is this next generation are they going to be the ones to actually face a shorter life expectancy what's it's kind of impossible to tell the study really is looking it's kind of it's a warning shot it's trying to predict how things are going to develop and as we all know none of us really knows how this environmental situation is going to play out and if it's in a business as usual scenario which is what they're there we're starting from and we would have a 4 percent 4 degree rise in temperature by the end of the century and that's where these really disastrous and areas began what we're shooting for based on the paris agreement is of course a maximum of 2 degrees celsius and if we manage to keep it under then we're already
8:22 pm
seeing the effects of this in child health but if we manage to keep it under that and move towards cleaner technologies particularly within our cities then we can mitigate the consequences i think what about prudence in health care you know medical advancements would they be able to address this increase and threats to help with medical advances that medicine really is advancing in gigantic leaps and bounds but the thing is is that once again returning to the concept of of if if these things happen to children at young periods in their lives for example if a child contracts for example as not at a very young period of its life you might have the medical technology to keep that child alive for 7 or 8 decades but the child is going to have asthma and there's no way to turn back the clock and make that not happen so that's really what this is about you know that's why we say that you the children are the most vulnerable and
