NOW, A NEW MONTH MEANS SEVERAL NEW LAWS ARE ON THE BOOKS. IN NORTH CAROLINA, HOUSE BILL 193 ALLOWS CERTAIN EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS AT PRIVATE AND RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS TO CARRY CONCEALED GUNS ON CAMPUS IF ALLOWED BY SCHOOL. LEADERSHIP. SUPPORTERS SAY IT PROVIDES PROTECTION SIMILAR TO ONES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WITH SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS. HOWEVER, OPPONENTS SAY IT PUTS RESPONSIBILITY INTO THE HANDS OF PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT BE FULLY PREPARED TO HANDLE THAT KIND OF EMERGENCY. ANOTHER PIECE OF LEGISLATION, ALSO IN EFFECT, IS IRINA’S LAW HOUSE BILL 307 MAKES SEVERAL CHANGES TO NORTH CAROLINA’S CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. IT ENDS CASHLESS BAIL FOR CERTAIN VIOLENT OFFENDERS. IT ALSO REQUIRES JUDGES TO ORDER MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATIONS IN CERTAIN CASES AND SPEEDS UP DEATH PENALTY APPEALS.

YOU CAN FIND THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY’S OTHER LAWS ON OUR WEBSITE AND FREE MOBILE APP. THE MAN ACCUSED OF SHOOTING AND KILLING THE CEO OF UNITEDHEALTHCARE IS BACK IN COURT TODAY STARTS A COMPLEX PRETRIAL HEARING THAT COULD SHAPE HOW THE PROSECUTION UNFOLDS FOR LUIGI MANGIONE. HIS LAWYERS ARE TRYING TO HAVE HIS DIARY ENTRIES AND OTHER EVIDENCE THROWN OUT OF COURT, AND THEY ARGUE INVESTIGATORS ILLEGALLY SEIZED THEM FROM HIS BACKPACK WITHOUT A WARRANT. PROSECUTORS DISAGREE AND HAVE AGREED TO A HEARING ON THE MATTER. PROTESTERS WERE OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE TODAY HOLDING SIGNS SUPPORTING THE ACCUSED KILLER. NEW HERE AT NOON. FRANCE’S PRESIDENT SAYS TALKS ON A US PROPOSAL FOR PEACE FOR THE WAR IN UKRAINE COULD BE A TURNING POINT FOR SECURITY IN EUROPE. AS RICHARD ENGEL REPORTS, PRESIDENT TRUMP’S SPECIAL ENVOY IS SET TO TRAVEL TO MOSCOW TO MEET WITH RUSSIA’S PRESIDENT TO TALK ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL. I’M NOW IN SOUTHERN UKRAINE, AN AREA THAT IS OFTEN TARGETED BY RUSSIAN FORCES. AND EVEN THOUGH RIGHT NOW THERE IS AN INTENSE DIPLOMATIC EFFORT UNDERWAY TO TRY AND END THIS WAR, AFTER NEARLY FOUR VERY LONG YEARS AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS DEAD ON BOTH SIDES, THERE IS NO CEASE FIRE AND THE RUSSIAN ATTACKS CONTINUE IN AN UNRELENTING WAY. THERE WERE RUSSIAN ATTACKS OVER THE WEEKEND, KILLING AT LEAST ONE PERSON IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX NEAR KYIV. THERE WAS ANOTHER RUSSIAN ATTACK TO THE EAST OF HERE, IN THE CITY OF DNIPRO, AND AT LEAST FOUR PEOPLE WERE KILLED THERE, ACCORDING TO LOCAL OFFICIALS. BUT DESPITE THE ONGOING VIOLENCE, THERE IS THIS DETERMINED EFFORT RIGHT NOW BETWEEN UKRAINE AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO TRY AND GET ON TO THE SAME PAGE, TO TRY AND COME UP WITH A MORE UNIFIED NEGOTIATING POSITION TO PRESENT TO VLADIMIR PUTIN, POTENTIALLY TOMORROW. AND THAT’S WHEN SPECIAL ENVOY STEVE WITKOFF IS DUE TO BE IN RUSSIA, MEETING WITH PUTIN TO TRY AND COME UP WITH TERMS TO FINALLY END THIS WAR. RICHARD ENGEL
