Let's get started 53 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:57.840 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 54 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.800 twenty four hour newsroom. The Menendez brothers resentencing hearing has 55 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.479 been delayed indefinitely, which means the hearing that was scheduled 56 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:06.680 for today has been canceled. 57 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:07.319 D A. 58 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.520 Nathan Hawkman wants the brothers to remain in prison because 59 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.520 he says they haven't shown remorse for murdering their parents. 60 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.360 The defense says the brothers were sexually abused by their 61 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.360 father and the mother knew about it. Lyell and Eric's 62 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.759 lawyer has lashed out at the DA because of a 63 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.599 delay and the brother's resentencing hearing. 64 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.719 Defense attorney Mark Errago says Elie County DA Nathan Hackman 65 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.560 is so biased against the convicted killers he'll follow motion 66 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.639 to have the prosecutor removed from the case. Hawkman says 67 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.120 it's not biased, just facts from the nineteen ninety six 68 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.360 murder of the Menindez parents in Beverly Hills. 69 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.000 The nineties fact are the ones that we're pointing out 70 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.159 have continued all the way to this present day. 71 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.000 The judge says he'll hear the recusal motion on May ninth, 72 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.960 along with considering whether to admit a State Parole Board's 73 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.680 risk assessment report that Hawkman was given, but the other 74 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.000 side and the judge weren't.

Solaris Lawyers have 76 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.199 released a new video they see shows the exact moments 77 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.520 SoCal Edison's equipment sparked the deadly fire in Altadena. Cafi's 78 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.159 Mark Mayfield says the video presented yesterday was made from 79 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.639 footage shot by Fortney fourteen witnesses. 80 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.759 Flashes of light can be seen at a decommissioned call 81 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.759 Edison Tower near Eaton Canyon, then Moulten material is shown 82 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.279 moving downhill. Drybrush under the tower started burning twelve seconds 83 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:24.839 into the initial witness video. 84 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.120 An attorney claims Edison botched the deactivation of an idle 85 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.720 power line, which led to the fire. In January, a 86 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.680 motorcycle rider's been shot and killed by police in Newport Beach. 87 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.199 Cafe's Daniel Martindale says it happened during a traffic stop 88 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:40.639 last night on Pcach Your. 89 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.079 Whole Hospital in Newport Beach. 90 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.639 Police say the suspect became uncooperative during the traffic stop. 91 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.279 He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. 92 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.360 It's unclear what exactly prompted officers to open fire. 93 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.160 Police did not release other details about the shooting. They 94 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.560 also didn't say if the rider had a weapon.

Festival organizers 102 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.160 say they've added more tool plausas for this weekend's event 103 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.759 to avoid a repeat of those waits. We shall see. 104 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:36.120 Let's say good morning to ABC's Josh Margolan. Josh, can 105 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.360 you give us the latest stone what happened yesterday at 106 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.480 Florida State University with that mass shooting. 107 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:49.879 Beautiful day, early early summer in Florida and a gunman 108 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.480 that twenty years old suspect, according to police, right near 109 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:58.399 the student union, squares off and fires. There's no clear 110 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.959 We don't clearly know what the motive was. As of yesterday, 111 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:04.879 they said they were still looking for it. We know 112 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.720 the suspect has a history of mental problems, mental challenges ADHD, 113 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.319 he had been medicated, He was the subject of a 114 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.079 really protracted, ugly custody battle between his biological parents. But 115 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:25.439 we don't know what all led to this occurring yesterday 116 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.959 as classes for the semester are starting to wind down 117 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.199 at one of the biggest universities in Florida. 118 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:35.399 Do we know, Josh, was he on medication at the time. 119 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:37.439 You'd said that he had been in. 120 00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:41.199 The past, so that information is not known, and it's 121 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.079 not entirely clear whether we'll know that for sure because 122 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.279 of privacy rules. So the first thing is the gunman. 123 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:52.800 The suspected gunman was shot by police after refusing to surrender, 124 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.720 was injured. He will survive, not like threatening injuries, so 125 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.759 there will be a prosecution going forward'll be charged. So 126 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.800 I don't know if we'll know that that type of 127 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.519 medical information because that type of stuff tends to be 128 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.399 closely held for somebody unless they die in these incidents. 129 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.439 But we do know he has a history, and we 130 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.439 also do know, interestingly, it's a terrible point of interest 131 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.720 here that his stepmother is a career shriff's deputy in 132 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.439 that community, and that one of the guns allisuedly used 133 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.439 in the crime yesterday was one of her weapons that 134 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.000 she had gotten from work. 135 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:36.600 Okay, and so that was the stepmom and officials have 136 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.680 already come out in support of the deputy. Could she 137 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.160 be in trouble because her son got her hands on 138 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.199 the gun even though he's twenty, He's. 139 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:50.879 Not a kid, right, So the question will be it 140 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.959 was not the gun that she actually uses day in 141 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.319 and day out. Right now. It's a buyer service weapon. 142 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.240 There's a routine in a lot of law enforcement agencies 143 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.920 where people have a service weapon and their agency wants 144 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.160 to get them a new one, upgraded or something where 145 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:08.439 they're allowed to keep the older weapon or buy the 146 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:12.720 older weapon because gun owners tend to like the comfort 147 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.759 of a weapon they've used for a while. So this 148 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.639 was hers. The question always is and this is no different. 149 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.839 How did the alleged shooter get the weapon? Was the 150 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:28.519 weapon properly secured? That will definitely be part of the investigation. 151 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.480 They've already said it. They've come out in favor of 152 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:36.080 the stepmother, the sheriff's deputy, which is pretty standard among 153 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.519 law enforcement to say that she's got a good record 154 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.919 and well regarded, and we don't have any reason to 155 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.480 doubt that. But they will want to see where was 156 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.519 the gun being kept in the home. Should the step 157 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:55.159 son have had access? A history of mental challenges could 158 00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:00.480 conceivably preclude somebody from getting access to handguns, So they're 159 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:01.519 going to want to look at all of that. 160 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:07.159 Okay, And the two people who were killed yesterday, I 161 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.399 had seen that they were not students. 162 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.120 Right, so they are not students. The question, very key 163 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.120 question that we still don't have answers to just yet. 164 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:21.240 Hopefully we'll have more today. Were these people that were 165 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:26.480 shot killed at and injured, were they targeted or was 166 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:29.519 this a random shooting? And that's going to be critical. 167 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.159 We don't know. We do know that the two people 168 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.200 who died tragically were not students. Are they support staff? 169 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.840 Are they cafeteria staff, maintenance staff, faculty administrators, We don't 170 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.600 have that information. This occurred near the student union, so 171 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.759 we all know how a student union operates. There's going 172 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.720 to be restaurants, and there's going to be maybe a 173 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:55.559 fitness club inside, and there's obviously going to be maintenance personnel, 174 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.240 and professors are floating in and out, and administrators are 175 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.519 floating in and out. So fairly, you know, densely populated 176 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.200 portion of a big campus. 177 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:08.600 Okay, And so what's next. They're going to probably scour 178 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.639 social media and try to figure out what happened, because 179 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.600 you said he stopped, squared up and started shooting. 180 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.799 Right, So that's been going on since yesterday. He does 181 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:23.720 not seem to have a that big a social media presence. 182 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:27.039 There was some They will obviously be trying to piece 183 00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.840 together his final hours and days. Who did he interact with? 184 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.840 They have his vehicle, so cars have a wealth of 185 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.000 information now because they're so high tech. Where did he go, 186 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.879 who did he talk to? Was there some type of 187 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.840 triggering event? You know, we've seen in the past that 188 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.639 triggering events could be anything from a small blow up 189 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.080 at home with the parents, could be financial problems, could 190 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:52.799 be a loss of a job. I mean, this is 191 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:54.519 all just hypothetical, but these are the kind of things 192 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.360 they're looking at. They so they want to see what 193 00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.519 all led up. Now, remember that in a lot of cases, 194 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.679 especially with people that are in severe psychiatric crisis, a 195 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.000 triggering event to them might not be a triggering event 196 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.440 to us, because you and I are thinking, you know, logically, 197 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:17.960 and have linear thought, and so a small slight would 198 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.879 not lead us to shoot people. But they want to 199 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.360 figure out what all went on, And in so many 200 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.399 of these cases they find two things. One is that 201 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.960 the breadcrumbs are there, so when they look back they 202 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:33.039 can see what occurs. Two that they often find that 203 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.879 it's not just one thing, that there could be a 204 00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.200 ramping up, so one thing on top of another thing 205 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.000 on top of another thing, and you add in some 206 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.679 type of small flight or triggering event, and then you 207 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.000 have the explosion. 208 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:49.480 Kind of like the straw that broke the camel's back, 209 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:56.000 exactly right. ABC's chief investigative reporter, Josh Margolan, thank you 210 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.600 so much for the information. Appreciate it. Have a good weekend. 211 00:11:59.000 --> 00:11:59.679 Have a great weekend. 212 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:01.840 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 213 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.240 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A federal appeals 214 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.080 court has rejected an effort by the Trump administration to 215 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.679 block in order directing it to facilitate the return of 216 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.600 the man from Maryland who was deported to El Salvador 217 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.879 by mistake. The court ruled the administration was trying to 218 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.279 claim a right to stash away residents of this country 219 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:24.480 in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process. That's quote. 220 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.519 Ki Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador. He 221 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.399 was allowed to meet yesterday with Maryland Maryland Democratic Senator 222 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.519 Chris van Holland, who went to the prison where Abrigo 223 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.679 Garcia is being held. Before the meeting, Van Holland had 224 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.559 complained that he and his staff were not allowed to 225 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.720 enter the prison. After the meeting, the president of El 226 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.480 Salvador posted a photo of Van Holland with Abrigo Garcia. 227 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.120 He wrote on X again in his words, kilmar Abrego 228 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.440 Garcia miraculously risen from the death, camps and torture, now 229 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.399 sipping margaritas with Senator Van Holland in the tropical Pairaradise 230 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:05.360 of l Salvador. Yemen's Houthi rebels say air strikes targeting 231 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.399 the rose Isa oil port have killed seventy four people 232 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.720 and wounded almost two hundred others. In a statement, Central 233 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:16.720 Command said US forces took action to eliminate a source 234 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:21.080 of fuel for the Iran backed Huthi terrorists terrorists to 235 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.440 deprive them of illegal revenue that has paid for Hoothi 236 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.440 efforts to terrorize the entire region for over ten years. 237 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.519 The Trump administration is asked the IRS to revoke Harvard's 238 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.879 tax exempt status. The request follows President Trump freezing more 239 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.279 than two billion dollars in federal funding for the Ivy 240 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:41.360 League University because it has refused to comply with Trump 241 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:46.200 administration policies on DEI, merit based admissions, anti Semitism, and 242 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:51.279 other issues. Tax Exempt status prohibits organizations from engaging in 243 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:56.960 certain political activities. A man wearing a security guard uniform, 244 00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.799 has been arrested for allegedly stabbing a man he was 245 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.200 arguing with at a Metro rail station in Pasadena. The 246 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.600 man attacked was stabbed several times yesterday on the pedestrian 247 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:13.000 bridge leading to the Sierra Madre Villa station. Senator Chris 248 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.200 van Holland from Maryland's been allowed to meet with the 249 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.120 illegal immigrant who mistakenly got swept up in an ice 250 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.159 raid and was sent to a prison in El Salvador. 251 00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.720 His attorneys are fighting to force the Trump administration to 252 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.000 facilitate his return to the US. The administration so far 253 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.399 saying he's not coming back. Christians around the world are 254 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.600 observing Good Friday, today, marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, 255 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.159 ahead of his resurrection on Easter Sunday. Stock markets are 256 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:44.159 closed for the Good Friday holiday. Today. At six oh five, 257 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.840 it's Handle on the News. A judge has ruled that 258 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.080 Google is operating an illegal ad monopoly. What could that 259 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.279 mean for Google? Let's say good morning now to ABC's 260 00:14:54.519 --> 00:15:00.080 Shannon Kingston. Shannon, the Secretary of State, Marco rub Ruby, 261 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.600 Special Envoy Steve Whitcott, and Keith Kellogg all in Paris, 262 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:07.320 not to see the Eiffel Tower, but to talk about 263 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.320 ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. 264 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.480 That's right. They wrapped up that round of talks today, 265 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:19.000 Amy and by all measures, things went pretty well. The 266 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:21.639 main focus was really getting the European allies up to 267 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:25.120 date on the latest US framework for a peace deal. 268 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.159 But before he left France, Secretary of Rubio he said 269 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.279 that basically the US is going to have to move 270 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.120 on soon unless they see some action. And now his 271 00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.600 comments come as officials directly involved in the talks. Everyoney 272 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.679 just mentioned and the President himself have grown increasingly frustrated 273 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.519 over the kremlins apparent lack of commitment to reaching peace 274 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:51.440 in Ukraine and refusal back down from effectively unmeetable demands 275 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.080 like sanctions relief that would involve the US and all 276 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:56.559 of its European allies as well. 277 00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:01.360 So interesting that they're saying they might just walk instead 278 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.519 of continuing to try to hammer out a deal. And 279 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:07.000 so far does it appear that Ukraine is kind of 280 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.320 on board with most stuff and Russia is the one 281 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.279 that's resisting or is there resistance on both sides? 282 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.960 You know, it's mostly aimed at Russia here to kind 283 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.840 of dial up the pressure, of course bringing Ukraine along. 284 00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:24.519 It's also important. Rubio did say that, of course the 285 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:26.960 Ukrainian representatives are going to have to head back to 286 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.720 Kiev and Blalok to Ukraine's President's Lenski make sure he's 287 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.639 on board here. But really, you know, things have been 288 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.840 going a little bit better than they were at least 289 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.720 a couple of weeks ago with Ukraine. We're also seeing 290 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:42.320 progress towards a mineral deal with the country. The President 291 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.399 said yesterday he expects that to be signed in this 292 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.639 upcoming week, but of course negotiators are still hammering out 293 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:50.440 some details on that end, okay. 294 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.600 And then to refresh everybody's memories, I mean, what does 295 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.200 Ukraine get for giving the US access to go in 296 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:58.919 and mine rare earth minerals, which of course they're going 297 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:01.559 to be worth you know, millions and billions of dollars. 298 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:07.079 Well, of course, if you ask the Trump administration, Ukraine 299 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:10.400 gets the opportunity to pay back the United States for 300 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:13.119 all of its support through the years of this war. 301 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:17.039 But really what this is about for Ukraine as security guarantees. 302 00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:22.279 They say that this economic partnership having American investment interests 303 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:27.000 is going to guarantee that any peace agreement reached is 304 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:31.599 upheld going forward, because you know, to put it, put 305 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:33.559 it in an idiom, it's that the US will have 306 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.839 a dog in the fight that economic stimulus it gets 307 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:37.960 from this kind of mineral deal. 308 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:42.200 Okay. And then there was also some talk that there 309 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:47.400 was some discussion about Iran during this trip to Paris. 310 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:48.240 Did that happen? 311 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:51.759 That's right, That was really kind of like a side 312 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:55.920 dish here if Ukraine was the main course. But negotiators 313 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.680 here from American delegation, they're talking to the European allies 314 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.039 who have always played a very key, very central role 315 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.599 in negotiating with Iran. And that's another front where the 316 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.839 Trump administration is expecting to see action and they want 317 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.799 to see it fast. I just think that the patients 318 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:18.400 here has already warmed in with Iran. Some more talks 319 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:20.359 will happen this upcoming weekend in Rome. 320 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:26.400 In Rome, okay, And at this point it still just talks. 321 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.200 We're not to the point where we think we're going 322 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:28.799 to get a deal. 323 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.599 You know, we know that doesn't seem to be directly 324 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.400 in the offing here. Anything could happen, but at this 325 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:39.960 point yes, they're just warming up to each other. 326 00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:44.720 Okay. ABC News State Department correspondent Shannon Kingston, thanks so 327 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.440 much for the info. We appreciate it. Thank you all right, 328 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.039 have a good weekend. And amber alert's been issued in 329 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:54.599 Riverside and San Bernardino Counties for an eight year old 330 00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:58.000 girl less seen in Desert Hot Springs. Authority say they 331 00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:02.039 believe Nova Landeros was taken by a man named Oscar 332 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:05.559 Landero's not clear how they're related. The girl was last 333 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:09.160 seen last Thursday night on Ostrella and Mesquite Avenues in 334 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.880 Desert Hot Springs. She's four foot five, about sixty pounds, 335 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.880 with brown hair and brown eyes. Oscar Landeros is thirty 336 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.279 three years old, five to eleven, about two hundred pounds. 337 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:20.880 He may be driving a gold two thousand and nine 338 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:26.039 Toyota Tacoma truck. UCLA students and faculty have protested the 339 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:29.839 detention of one of the university's international grad students at 340 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:31.160 the US Mexico border. 341 00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:34.559 UCLA officials saying the student was detained by US Customs 342 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.480 and Border Protection on Wednesday night while trying to cross 343 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.160 the border from Mexico into the United States. UCLA Vice 344 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.480 Chancellor Mariosako confirmed the detention on Thursday night. 345 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:47.480 Ky if i's Mark Mayfield says US Customs and Border 346 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:51.119 Protection did not confirm the student was being held. The 347 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.880 Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is shutting down. 348 00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:56.920 Orange County's most populous city, with two major sports teams, 349 00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.400 more than one hundred and fifty hotels, and about fifteen 350 00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:02.720 thousand bills. Businesses, including Disneyland, won't have a Chamber of 351 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.200 Commerce now. Interim Chamber President and CEO Jerry Jordan says 352 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.799 the Chamber's been unable to recover since the fraud and 353 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.799 corruption scandal three years ago involving then Chamber president Todd Ahmant. 354 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.920 Several businesses left the chamber after that scandal. A vote 355 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.559 next week will determine how to shut it down. Mark 356 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:19.960 Ronner KFI News. 357 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.720 A sixth horse has died this year at the Los 358 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.799 Alamitos Race Course. A three year old Philly named Non 359 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.440 Compliant was hurt while galloping early yesterday morning and has 360 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.960 since died. She was trained by legendary horse trainer Bob Baffort. 361 00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:39.720 Farm Workers, migrant or otherwise are closer to being a 362 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:40.359 thing of the past. 363 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:43.359 Researchers in Japan had developed a navigation system that allows 364 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:46.839 agricultural robots to move between crop rows as they pick 365 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.960 stuff as small as strawberries. The farm bots use way 366 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.720 points in lasers to get close enough without damaging small 367 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.039 scale farm crops. Current systems are much more expensive, use 368 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.240 less reliable GPS and special markers on the fields, and 369 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.200 they can't get to those smaller spaces.
