a campus around pages and school shootings. we've never had one here like this. this has been described as the most tragic shooting event ever amateur public. so even though people kind of get done, so somehow this young man got his hands on, on weapons, or at least one gun. it's not common for anything like this to happen. and that's another reason that people are in deep shock to nice. yeah, and understandably so. journalist in willoughby with the latest tonight from prague and thank you. as the united nations security council has begun the 3rd day of negotiations on a resolution aimed at halting the fighting gauze at you as president joe biden has signaled that the us may back the initiative which was put forward by error countries. a vote has been repeatedly delayed as diplomats haggle over the wording of the resolution. this latest draft calls for a suspension of hostilities between israel and homos increasing. tomas, of course, the to day which many countries classify as

9:07 pm
because of the u. n. monitoring mechanisms for age to guys. because israel does not want less control over monitoring every thing which comes into guys because they're apparently afraid of arms and maybe concrete for tunnels being smuggled along side with uh, deliveries. so the base side is rent. israel is not trusting other countries to keep them safe. and this has a deep commitment to support as well. you said the us has not been on board with the resolution on garza in the past, but that seems to be shifting what is behind this change or part as well. you know, the situation is not only challenging but actually really risk a full president by it and uh we all facing and elections your next year as we know . and he's not on the losing support from ever arab americans to, to his, on reverend commitment to is read. but paul's also show that the majority of 1st
