All too familiar with the fear and uncertainty that is soon to follow. One time we have to go back to the day and realize but on the other side we have to be careful. He is the french ambassador to the United States and his message to people in charlotte tuesday enemies like isis are going after young people and recruiting them to syria. Its happening in america and overseas. They are militarized and trained and they are radicalized. We have not identified all of them. So we do know that there are some sleeping cells and that the people are ready to strike again. He says the attack is not surprising. And believes more are possible for those who think closing french borders is the solution the ambassador offers this warning. Its very difficult to do it. Try to imagine closing the borders between North Carolina and south carolina. Its impossible. The people can cross the borders everywhere else. The frontlines of war on terror start in europe. Where some travel can be less restricted. And countrieses like the u. S. And france must stay ahead of future attacks that threaten lives, peace and sense of security. French we have been the first one to join the americans for striking against isis. We have soldiers fighting in africa. And again, we are [inaudible] we are allies once more. And while there are areas that have borders closed between france and belgium it is not a permanent solution instead calling for a global and european response. Michael clark wbtv on your side. All right. Thank you. We have continuing coverage on our website. For up to the second information go to wbtv. Com. New information on a proposal that would bring big noticeable changes to southpark.

Lawmakers announced yesterday they would call a session to address the rule that would allow transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice. The session was called after three fifths of lawmakers agreed to come in a month before the General Assembly is scheduled to start. Its estimated the special session will cost taxpayers 42000. Wbtvs steve crump is on your side tonight and a lot of people are upset that lawmakers in raleigh are stepping into the local issue. Absolutely. And as you talk about the cost of it all being 42000 a day, we know at this point but it is unclear how long the session will go and some of the lawmakers we spoke with, they have not seen draft of this legislation and they will get it tomorrow. Do not agree. From the beginning the battle lines have been drawn over charlottes socalled bathroom bill. Lawmakers headed back to raleigh where republicans control the balance of power understand the issues of wednesdays special session. However, state senator tart has yet to see any proposed legislation designed to repeel the bill. You all of a sudden invalidate criminal press trespass ordinances and indecent exposure and we cannot have that. We have that passing 74. It stands a chance of being repealed. Mayor roberts is concerned the its appeal. Focus on the inclusive and welcoming in the way that charleston and atlanta and orlando all the other cities have had this for years and we want to be competitive. The vote passed by a convincing margin b one of the votes came from Councilmember Ed rigs. The emails i got were 71 against the ordinance from charlotte so i felt we did not look hard enough to find a solution that respected everybody. Democrats who will have a voice in raleigh are not expecting the vote to breakdown party lines. Could be viewed as a power grab from raleigh on behalf of the city of charlotte but unfortunately, the city of charlotte has to take responsibility for passing this ordinance without bringing the General Assembly and the rest of the community along with it. Now, tonight, one question that a lot of people have in this debate is what differs in relates to the bills that will be produced tomorrow and delivered to lawmakers . And the question is what will it take to end up all on the same page . Steve crump wbtv on your side. Not a lot of support to overturn the ordinance. 25 of people across the state want the state legislature to get involved in overriding the ordinance.
