Daily dirt doesnt stand a good evening. Thank you for joining us. We begin with a surprising result of the Senate Election in alabama. What it could mean for the 2018 admit terms and the progression of the me too movement with some in washington turning their attention to accusations against President Trump. Let me just start out by saying how thrilled that my family and i are for this win last night. It has been a fun campaign. Reporter today doug jones taking a victory lap after his historic defeat of roy moore in the deeply red state of alabama. Ive said it over and over, that the people of this state have more in common than they have to divide us. Reporter sending a message of unity after a divisive campaign. Jones by most accounts was the underdog. The results from that dramatic and consequential senate race in alabama, the Democrat Doug Jones who has defeated republican roy moore reporter winning by a whisper, 1. 5 , 20,715 votes. Hes now the states first democratic senator in 25 years. Republican candidate roy moore has yet to concede the race. Good evening. Reporter late tonight moore issued a video statement. And the battle rages on. In this race we have not received the final count to include military and provisional ballots. This has been a very close race and we are awaiting certification by the secretary of state. Reporter last night his toughtalking campaign reduced to a hail mary technicality. When the vote is this close, its not over reporter attributing his historic upset to bad press surrounding multiple allegations of Sexual Misconduct with young girls. Part of the problem with this campaign is weve been painted in an unfavorable and unfaithful light. Reporter President Trump, who had thrown his support behind moore in the waning weeks of the campaign so get out and vote for roy moore. Reporter today quickly moved on. Congratulating doug jones in a tweet. A win is a win, the people of alabama are great, and the republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends. And later made it clear hes unhappy with the results. A lot of republicans feel differently. Theyre very happy with the way it turned out. But i would have as the leader of the party, i would have liked to have had the seat. Reporter the victory in alabama reverberating across the nation, 58 of women and 96 of africanamerican voters bolstering jones win. The africanamerican community, thank you reporter perhaps an early indicator what was to expect in the 2018 midterm elections and beyond. Moving forward, who won, who lost . The president s lost big. Hes no longer what anybody thought he was, a political gorilla. The ability to take him on in congress i think is raised. Going forward into 2018, the democrats i think are likely to take back the house. Now for the first time have a shot at taking the United States senate. Reporter what groups won this race for jones . Black voters was a huge part, more black voters turned out percentagewise than turned out for barack obama. Reporter in particular, africanamerican women. Like at salon per situation 97 birmingham. I was very excited and happy to see that doug jones won. I believe because roy moores allegations, people saw how serious. We needed a difference in alabama. What used to represent the south, which was white male voters, are the group of voters that are dropping every single election year. Were going to see a different south over time and i think this represents women, africanamerican, and latinos, represent a different rising south. Reporter one of the people playing a role in this political upset for the ages, Beverly Young nelson. It is a relief to know hes not going to be in the office. And that this may not happen again. Hopefully. Mr. Moore reached over and began groping me reporter nelson, seated next to her lawyer gloria allred, one of nine women who came forward with allegations of Sexual Misconduct against moore. It has been an amazing day for me. Ive had people in california and elsewhere who have sent me congratulations, who have wrote notes of enthusiasm. Ive had people in alabama that has gone out that has never voted before to vote in my honor. Reporter moore has denied the allegations. Young hopes moores defeat does not mean the end of a movement. I think theres going to be a lot more women come forward from the workplaces and other surroundings. I dont think this is just going to be a political thing, i think its going to open it up worldwide. Sexual harassment and the me too movement is apolitical. Reporter gretchen carlson, whose book delves into the topic, was at the forefront, settling a landmark case against former fox chief roger ailes. The way i look at this is its not democrat and republican, this is a victory for women who had courage to speak up. Reporter amongst a National Reckoning on the issue of sexual harassment.

A spokesperson says, we have asked mario batali to step away from the chew while we review the allegations. Tonight tavis smiley suspended by pbs. He has not responded to our request for comment. Just last week, Michigan Democratic congressman john conyers was the first member of congress to step down amidst allegations of sexual harassment. Days later minnesota democratic senator al franken stepped down after multiple female senators called for his resignation. There is some irony in the fact that i am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of Sexual Assault sits in the oval office. Reporter a reminder of how such allegations of reverberating across the political spectrum. This isnt a partisan issue. This is how women are treated every day. Reporter on monday, three of the women who have publicly accused President Trump of Sexual Misconduct before he ran for office called on congress to investigate. I am hoping that this will come forward. And produce enough pressure on congress to address it. They were not heard. The president as a candidate called them liars. I cant believe that 19 women are liars. And i do think it needs to be investigated. Reporter jackie speier, along with other Democratic Congress women, is taking that fight directly to the white house. The base recognizes that what is happening in this country right now and to the leadership of President Trump is not in the best interests of the american people.

Reframing the National Conversation about gun violence. Shes nationally recognized for her compassion and care. He spent decades fighting to give families a second chance. But to help others, they first had to protect themselves. I have afib. Even for a nurse, its complicated. And it puts me at higher risk of stroke. That would be devastating. I had to learn all i could to help protect myself. Once i got the facts, my doctor and i chose xarelto®. Xarelto®. To help keep me protected. Oncedaily xarelto®, a latestgeneration blood thinner. Significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Xarelto® works differently. Warfarin interferes with at least 6 bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor interacting with less of your bodys natural bloodclotting function. For afib patients wellmanaged on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. It may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding.

Its been five years since the unthinkable tragedy in newtown, connecticut. 26 people, mostly children, were gunned down at an elementary school. Tonight we revisit families devastated by the tragedy on a unique mission to save others from living any parents worst nightmare. Heres abcs amy robach. Reporter it happened again. Last thursday, gunfire piercing through the sanctity of a classroom at Aztec High School in new mexico. We could hear casings hitting the floor. Scohool shooting another School Shooting reporter a scene too familiar in a country grappling with one mass shooting after another. More than 300 a year on average since 2013, according to the gun violence archive. Nine killed at Umpqua Community college in oregon. Four at Marysville High School in washington state. And of course the one seared in all of our minds, sandy hook elementary school. The mass shooting many hoped would be the last. 26 gunned down. 20 of them 6 and 7yearold children. Mark bardens son daniel was only 7 years old when he was murdered. Mark called him his special little buddy. This is jackie and daniel on his last thanksgiving with us. You just never know. Which of those precious moments. Daniel was an exceptionally sweet, compassionate little soul. He literally used to look out for other people. We used to call him the caretaker of all living things. Reporter while the million reese of daniel are everywhere, the absence he left behind is immeasurable. Another life lost that day, nicole hockleys 6yearold son dyl dylan. Dylan was just pure love. He had these gorgeous blue eyes and this amazing smile and this laugh, this giggle that people used to tickle him just to hear him giggle. I see youve got several butterflies. Yes. So being autistic, one of the repetitive movements that dylan had was to flap. And he would flap his arms up and down whenever he got excited. Which is pretty much all the time. And i asked him once, why do you flap . And he said, because im a beautiful butterfly. And at his funeral, i talked about how the theory of a butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the world can cause a hurricane on the other side. Reporter in their sorrow, nicole and mark found a new purpose, to prevent School Shootings, not through legislation but by thwarting the path of a wouldbe shooter, starting Sandy Hook Promise. Im here at the scene of tomorrows shooting reporter the foundation uses psas and Grassroots Efforts training schools to recognize the warning signs and act before its too late. Because gun regulation, nicole says, is too controversial. Theres so much of a fight that occurs whenever you mention the word gun. We need to reframe this conversation, take the gun out of the discussion, and focus on what do we need to do to keep each other and our kids safe . Reporter in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, a storm of outrage was felt across the country. Shame on nra reporter many called for regulation to curb gun violence. We are killing each other. Reporter saying that the loss of so many young delicate lives must lead to change. Were going to have to come together and take meaningful action. Reporter momentum seemed to be building toward gun control. First a push to renew the ban on assault weapons. Together we are introducing legislation reporter then a bipartisan bill introduced requiring background checks on all commercial gun sales. But five months after the devastation and fury of sandy hook, these efforts were defeated. A minority in the United States senate decided it wasnt worth it. Reporter and even as president obama turned to console nicole and mark, they had already hatched another plan. After every shooting or every suicide, there are signs and signals given off in advance. Ever since the attack at columbine, people have been looking for what they call a profile. Really, there is no such profile. Reporter psychologist Peter Langman has studied School Shootings extensively and say while every shooter is different, many let their intentions be known. For example, sometimes students will brag to friends about what theyre going to do. Another type of leakage is when students try to recruit someone to join them in the attack. He told some of us that his dad kept a gun in his closet, and he always talked about using it on, you know, the people that bullied him. Reporter those warning signs front and center in Sandy Hook Promises provocative new psa, featuring a hypothetical School Shooting set in the future. Someone is expected to tell us after the shooting that the shooter has been posting on social media about doing this for weeks. Reporter this video is approaching 1 million views since its release this week, according to the foundation. It is not a comfortable piece to watch. But you know what . Gun violence isnt comfortable.

Reporter to make sure no one is isolated. Theres a fantastic art club on tuesdays reporter born from an unimaginable tragedy, a simple yet remarkable and sometimes even joyous lesson. Theres been a number of School Shootings we know weve thwarted. Reporter bill sherlocks wife of 31 years, mary, had been working at sandy hook for nearly two decades and nearing retirement. But when the shooting began, she ran towards the gunfire. If there was something going on, she was going to be in the middle of it. Its not possible to confirm numbers of foiled shootings. But the foundation says their approach has been effective. One example, at the school where bills daughter now teaches. A number of separate students came to the School Administrators and said, theres two different people we think are at risk of harming themselves. And they were able to get those kids some help. Reporter langman says there needs to be more emphasis on prevention and a system of threat assessment. Attention, this is a drill, we need to lock down it seems that all schools have lockdown procedures in place. But very few have the preventive threat assessment procedures. Educating your staff and students about those warning signs and what to do when they see them and having a trained team in place within the school to investigate those threats and intervene as necessary. Reporter mark and nicole say each shooting occurring now in a seemingly endless stream feels horribly raw. But until that torrent comes to an end, they will come to fight. I hope that were not becoming desensitized to unnecessary, preventible murder. Of our fellow countrymen and women and children. So im hoping that people will be inspired with the knowledge that its preventible. I know so many people feel that same sense of hopelessness, that it keeps happening. But then i have to channel that frustration, that anger, but also my love, into this work that i know is going to save lives. Youre never going to give up . Never going to give up, why would i . Theres still too many people dying, and i know these acts are preventible. For dylan i will always keep going. Reporter for nightline im amy robach in danbury, connecticut. Our thanks to amy.
