People will be able to move on with their lives, including myself, and hopefully fix themselves now. I, Cyril Ramaphosa. South africas new president , Cyril Ramaphosa, is sworn into office, promising a tough crackdown on corruption. A former oxfam director responds to allegations that he paid for prostitutes while working for the charity in haiti and chad. And, ahead of this weekends baftas, well speak to the academys head about what we can expect at this years awards. Its 5pm. Our main story is that President Trump says making americas schools safer is his top priority following the gun attack at a school in florida yesterday, in which 17 people died and dozens were injured. Police say the teenage gunman was equipped with a gas mask, smoke grenades, an Assault Rifle and several magazines of ammunition. Nikolas cruz, whos i9, was a former pupil at the school. Hes been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder. The attack was one of the Deadliest School shootings in us history. Mr trump, speaking a short while ago, also said that tackling Mental Health was a top priority. This report by our correspondent neda tawfik contains some distressing images. Running for their lives, these panicked students fled as fast as they could. Others sheltered inside. These were the terrifying sounds from one of americas classrooms. The gunman struck moments to the end of the school day. Police have identified the 19 year old attacker as nikolas cruz. He arrived on the campus heavily armed with a semi automatic rifle and several magazines of ammunition. It is now understood that this was a well planned plot to maximise the loss of life. The shooter set off the fire alarm to draw the children out of their classrooms. As the attack unfolded, children hid in cupboards and barricaded doors, trying to escape the carnage. He went up and down the hallway, banging and shooting into the classrooms. He shot through my door and broke the window. As soon as the fire alarm got pulled and kids were evacuating, i heard five pops. Suddenly we hear one of our student governor teachers say, run as fast as you can, and we hear a gunshot. 17 children and teachers were killed. More than a dozen were injured and are being treated in local hospitals. The violence has to stop. We cannot lose another child in this country to violence in a school. Cruz tried to escape by blending in with swarms of students fleeing the school. But he was later arrested without incident in a nearby town. Authorities are beginning to piece together his possible motives. He was expelled last year for disciplinary reasons and students described him as troubled. He carried multiple guns, he showed me them. I was kicked out of school myself. I saw what guns he had, he showed me personally. The kids wouldnt pick on him because they knew what could go on. They were scared. The suspect has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder, and Law Enforcement will do everything we can, the fbi, ourselves, to make sure that this person is convicted of all charges, and that justice sure that this person is convicted of all charges, and thatjustice is served. This is one of the safest cities in the country but that didnt stop it from becoming the 18th School Shooting this year. The question that seemingly everyone in the nation is now asking is whether this is the new normal. In washington, there was this impassioned plea on the floor of the senate from a senator whose state includes the Sandy Hook Elementary School where 20 children, just six and seven years old at the time, were shot and killed just over five years ago. This happens nowhere else, other than in the united states. This epidemic of mass slaughter, this scourge of School Shooting after School Shooting. It only happens here not because of coincidence, not because of bad luck, but as a consequence of our inaction. We are responsible. Tales of heroism are emerging from the tragedy. Aaron feiss, a football coach and Security Guard at the schoool, is said to have shielded children as the gunman fired. With each new shooting there is the inevitable debate on gun ownership in america. Yet this country is more divided than ever on how to stop this problem. Neda tawfik, bbc news, parkland, florida. In the past hour, President Trump said making schools safer will be a top priority. They were listing two, lots of the local people giving their responses, including the Police Officers and other officials. Then President Trump emerged to say that making schools safer would be a top priority, and he went on to say he had a direct message for americas children. I want to speak directly to americas children, especially those who feel lost, confused or even scared. I want you to know that you are never alone, and you never will be. You have people who care about you, who love you, and who will do anything at all to protect you. If you need help, turned to a teacher, afamily you need help, turned to a teacher, a family member, a local Police Officer or a faith leader. Answer hate with love, anser cruelty with kindness. Our correspondent, nada tawfik is in parkland, florida. A sense from you of how the local community has been responding. We have heard clearly from some people, but other people youve been speaking to, their response to what the president has been saying today . Its very interesting, because, while this community was still trying to process what had happened to them, there was still a very clear ca ll to them, there was still a very clear call for more to be done about what these about these types of School Shootings to happen too often. A teacher who sheltered i9 stu d e nts often. A teacher who sheltered i9 students in a closet said the country had failed to keep them safe. Another student spoke about how they are just children and adults are the ones who need to do something to protect them in this country. I think also there are a lot of questions being asked. The sheriff at an early press conferences said, if people see something, they need to Say Something. Well, the shooter, nikolas cruz, had declared an youtube that he was going to be a professional shooter. He was on the fbis radar since september but nothing was done to the fbi say they were never able to identify and speak with him. School authorities we re speak with him. School authorities were not warned. In this community, a lot of discussions about where the system failed then and how, as a country, as a whole, there need to be significant changes to the culture of gun violence. Interesting that the president did focus on Mental Health issues, he went out of his way to single out that as an issue that needed to be addressed, and yet he isnt echoing the calls of even some republicans, who say the time has surely come now to take action. How do you assess the kind of possible change of feeling, especially within the Republican Party . You know, i really have to say that i was in sandy hook in connecticut when those 20 children, just six and seven years old, were killed, and i think in this country, seeing that, in that moment we were unable to come to a consensus. Many people here are not optimistic. This is the 18th School Shooting this year. This country is more divided than ever. We just heard from the commander in chief, who chose to be silent on the issue of gun violence and tried to shine a spotlight on Mental Health issues. I think the staunchest republicans have been clear in saying, sidestepping this issue, saying that we need to get the facts, we shouldntjump to conclusions. So, based on the mood music from the majority of the Republican Party and the president , this country is still too divided to move forward on this. Thank you for the latest. Joining us from rhode island is scarlett lewis, who lost her six year old son jesse in another School Shooting, the sandy hook atrocity in 2012. Thank you forjoining us on what must be an exceptionally difficult day for you. Just wondering if you got the chance to see the president s response, and what you made of it . Actually, i didnt. I am ina made of it . Actually, i didnt. I am in a school currently speaking with High Schoolers and working on a solution to the issues we are seeing in america. So the president said that making schools safer in america is his top priority, and he went on to say that there needed to be a sharper focus on to say that there needed to be a sharperfocus on mental to say that there needed to be a sharper focus on Mental Health issues, im assuming in the context of gun ownership. What do you make of gun ownership. What do you make of that . The solution really is, and ive realised in the past five years since my six year old son was murdered in his first grade classroom, that i wasnt going to wait for someone else to come up with a solution. Gun control isnt working and so i believe the solution is social and Emotional Learning, and that is teaching kids how to get along, how to have healthy relationships, how to manage their emotions. This isnt something. We need to learn these schools and tools. We havent been teaching them in schools. It is called social Emotional Learning, and there are decades of Research Showing that this proactively prevent suffering before it starts. So this is all research based, and soi so this is all research based, and so i started a movement to be part of the solution. I realised i couldnt wait, i couldnt sit around and blame, but i had to be part of the solution, so we offer a free social and Emotional Learning programme. Iam social and Emotional Learning programme. I am currently in rhode island spreading it, and its now in 50 states, 45 countries, and really thatis 50 states, 45 countries, and really that is what i see the solution is being. Not addressing the symptoms of the issue but actually getting directly to the cause, which is anger in our society, the inability to manage our emotions, to have deep and meaningful connections and relationships. These are skills and tools that are easy to teach and easy to learn, and thats what we are focused on. What message. |j was wondering what you were say to viewers who say, we get that, that makes sense, and that strategy makes sense, but what about those people who are not kids, they are adults, they are the ones at the moment who have trouble handling their emotions, they are the ones who, for whatever reason, have expressed their anger in this violent way. What is the approach there . Fantastic question, and its the exact same approach. It is being aware of our thoughts that create our reality, its learning how to manage our emotions, its implementing social Emotional Learning programmes in all of our schools. We note this is in the best interests of our children. I know it would have saved jesses life and prevented so much suffering. There was a report after the sandy hook shooting called the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission report. That came up with three things that could prevent this happening again, gun safety, more access to Mental Health and social Emotional Learning, three things in no particular order. Honestly, we cant continue to point the finger and to wait for other people to come up with a solution. We need to move forward with this. We need to move forward with this. We have a programme for parents as well, so i would log onto our website, and lets all be part of the solution together. Its a different way of thinking, its not on the issues. Its proactive prevention. Its a bit uncomfortable, it isnt what we are used to doing, but we must use proactive prevention or we are never going to get ahead of the issues we are experiencing, and thats not only violence but its Substance Abuse and Mental Health issues. Social Emotional Learning reduces Mental Health issues. It reduces and prevents su bsta nce Mental Health issues. It reduces and prevents Substance Abuse, as well as violence. This is the issue, and i feel grateful and blessed to be able to be part of it. We are grateful to you forjoining us and explaining that to us as clearly as you have. Thank you.
