Andrea mitchell has late details. Reporter tonight in a stinging rebuke of a close american ally, President Biden halting a Weapons Shipment of 3,500 bombs to israel, just as israeli troops are targeting hamas in rafah. If they go into rafah they havent gone into rafah yet. If they go into rafah, im not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah. Reporter fearing Israeli Forces could drop 2,000bombs on rafah as it did targeting a suspected d hamas terrorist in the jabalia refugee camp last fall killing civilians. We have concerns about what that would mean for the civilian population when you look at the way israel has conducted its operations in the past and the impact on civilians. Reporter the move angering many republicans. I think its a hugely irresponsible decision. There should never be any question about americas commitment, the United States commitment to israel. Reporter an israeli official telling nbc news, there is deep frustration over the u. S. Decision, and tonight also a rift over humanitarian aid with the rafah Border Crossing now occupied by israeli tanks, aid not getting through. The State Department calling that unacceptable. It comes despite secretary of state blinkens repeated urgings about aid to gaza, as he told me in israel last week. And its imperative that they get the food that they need, the water they need. Reporter and tonight new reporting. Cia director William Burns is back at ceasefire talks in cairo after meeting with Prime Minister netanyahu. U. S. Officials telling nbc news, israel wants rafah to be excluded from any ceasefire. An israeli official denies it. Still, the state Department Said today an agreement that could halt the fighting and bring home the hostages is within reach. Lester. Okay, andrea, thanks.

[ booing ] reporter supporters of mike johnson quickly offered up a motion to end her effort, and the vote was overwhelmingly in johnsons favor including some democrats. Now, greene forced the vote despite opposition from virtually every republican, as well as former President Trump. Earlier in the week greene gave johnson a long list of demands, but johnson did not back down. A long list of demands. Tonight he called greenes attempt misguided and said he hoped it was the end of the Personality Politics in congress. Lester. Ryan nobles, thank you. Now to former President Trumps legal battles. A Georgia Appeals Court giving the former president at least a temporary victory in his Election Interference case brought by d. A. Fani willis. Laura jarrett joins us. Laura, what did the court say . Well, lester, the court has now given mr. Trump permission to appeal that decision from march that kept the d. A. On the case but prompted her to remove nathan wade, her exboyfriend, who had led the prosecution. Now, mr. Trump still wants the d. A. Disqualified, so this appeal will slow down the georgia case considerably with the d. C. Election interference case still in limbo, and the Florida Classified Documents Trial now indefinitely on hold, all of this making it all but certain that the ongoing Hush Money Trial will be the only case done by november, and Stormy Daniels is, of course, expected back on the stand here in manhattan tomorrow, lester.

Letting her imagination run wild even though she has allergies. Yeah. We are back now with a major update after years of nbc news reporting on accusations of racist and Homophobic Bullying<\/a> at schools in southlake, texas, the feds are calling on the district to address claims of civil rights violations. We get more from antonia hylton. Reporter for over three years, nbc news has investigated the picturesque southlake, texas, carroll independent School District<\/a> where some students told us about a culture of racist and Homophobic Bullying<\/a>. What happens to black kids when they go through School Systems<\/a> where they dont feel entirely at home . I think that it strips them of their identity, and i think that they leave a shell of the person that they once were. Reporter documents reviewed by nbc news show that this week the Department Of Education<\/a> notified southlakes carroll schools that it intends to negotiate with the district over four students civil rights complaints. We spoke with a lawyer for the students. When the Department Of Education<\/a>s Office Of Civil Rights<\/a> notifies the district that theyre being invited to negotiate resolution of a complaint, it means that they have made a formal finding that the School District<\/a> violated the complainants civil rights. Reporter christian was 12 years old and had just left the district when we met him in 2022. What were kids saying . They were using gay slurs and, like, being very rude to me. Reporter southlake was thrust into the National Spotlight<\/a> in 2018 when a video of students chanting the n word went viral. A group of conservative residents then defeated a proposed diversity and inclusion plan. By the time my youngest was in ninth grade, he was getting called the n word pretty regularly. Reporter mom, angela jones, filed one of the federal complaints. I knew that my childrens civil rights had been violated, but to have the Department Of Education<\/a> come out and say they agree, that meant the world to me. Reporter southlakes carroll School District<\/a> today did not respond to requests for comment, but in august of 2021, we sat down with superintendent lane ledbetter. Is there racism in southlake and in carroll isd . So, let me think about that question. Im going to stop there. I think it goes back to people understanding each other almost from an empathy standpoint, just being able to understand varying perspectives and differences. Reporter angela jones children have already left the school, but she believes she has an obligation to the students still there. I cant sit here and let those children face the exact same thing my children faced. Thats not being a good citizen. It seems like here the d. O. E. Is essentially raising the stakes. What happens next . Well, according to the Department Of Education<\/a>, the district will have to negotiate an agreement to, quote, remedy both the individual discrimination at issue, as well as any systemic discrimination. If they dont cooperate, legal experts tell us, they could lose federal funding, or face judicial proceedings. All right, antonia, thank you.
