00:00:01 Speaker_03
Hi there, from CNN, I'm Jo Beck, with the five things you need to know for Tuesday, December 17th.

00:00:08 Speaker_00
Let that soak in for a minute. A second grade student called 911 at 10.57am to report a shooting at school.

00:00:19 Speaker_03
The shooter, who killed a student and a teacher at a school in Wisconsin yesterday, has now been identified as a 15-year-old girl.

00:00:28 Speaker_03
Police say Natalie Rupnow, who went by the name Samantha, died of a self-inflicted gunshot after opening fire at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison. Six other people were injured, including two who were facing life-threatening conditions.

00:00:44 Speaker_03
This was the 83rd school shooting recorded this year, meaning 2024 has seen the most school shootings in a single year since CNN began tracking them in 2008. This shaken parent says she feels nowhere is safe for her children.

00:01:00 Speaker_04
If your kids are at school, they are not okay. If they are at church, they are not okay. If they are outside, elsewhere, they are not okay. Where are they going to be safe?

00:01:11 Speaker_03
Police are expected to release the names and ages of the victims later today. A judge has ruled that President-elect Donald Trump doesn't have presidential immunity protections in his hush money felony conviction.

00:01:25 Speaker_03
The decision rejected one of several avenues that Trump's lawyers have taken to try to dismiss his guilty verdict on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

00:01:35 Speaker_03
They wanted the conviction dismissed on the basis of the Supreme Court's decision that Trump should receive broad immunity for official acts during his time in office.

00:01:44 Speaker_03
And they argued prosecutors relied on evidence from Trump's official conduct in the White House. But the judge rejected that. Trump's lawyers are likely to appeal the decision. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:01:56 Speaker_03
is trying to ease concerns about his history of promoting vaccine misinformation and repeating false claims that they're connected to autism.

00:02:05 Speaker_03
He's been meeting with GOP senators this week to convince them to back him as Trump's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Yesterday, he told reporters he's, quote, all for the polio vaccine.

00:02:18 Speaker_03
While Trump also insisted it wasn't going anywhere. After reports, a lawyer affiliated with Kennedy has petitioned the FDA to revoke its approval. If Kennedy's confirmed as the head of HHS, he'll oversee the FDA.

00:02:32 Speaker_03
And Republican senators told CNN's Manu Raju he will be questioning vaccines.

00:02:37 Speaker_06
What he wants with vaccines is, which is what I believe in, is transparency. If he's confirmed, will he encourage people not to vaccinate their children? No, I don't think so.

00:02:47 Speaker_06
I think he's going to question science and I'm glad he's going to question it.

00:02:51 Speaker_03
A Russian general who headed the country's radiological, biological and chemical defence forces has been killed by a remotely detonated bomb in Moscow. That's according to Russian authorities and we asked CNN's Claire Sebastian for the details.

00:03:07 Speaker_05
Hi Jo, so we now have a source with knowledge of the operation telling CNN that the Ukrainian security services were behind this assassination. And what's notable here is just how ambitious this was.

00:03:18 Speaker_05
Egor Kirillov was a very high-ranking and very visible Russian military figure. He'd been sanctioned by the UK for helping deploy chemical weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine.

00:03:28 Speaker_05
And just one day before his death, Ukraine had actually charged him in absentia with the use of banned chemical weapons. Russia is treating this as a terrorist attack.

00:03:39 Speaker_03
A Delta stowaway who got from the US to Paris by hiding in a bathroom has tried it again. More on that next.

00:03:50 Speaker_02
I'm CNN tech reporter Claire Duffy. This week on the podcast Terms of Service, CNN business economics writer Elizabeth Buchwald, she's going to walk us through what we might want to consider buying now before prices go up under a Trump White House.

00:04:04 Speaker_01
Once he gets in the Oval Office, he can put tariffs into place. E-bikes are actually made in China.

00:04:10 Speaker_02

00:04:21 Speaker_03
The woman who stowed away on a Delta flight from New York to Paris last month has been taken into custody again, this time for trying to sneak into Canada.

00:04:31 Speaker_03
A law enforcement source says Svetlana Daly managed to cut off her ankle monitor on Sunday and was then taken into custody yesterday while she was on a Greyhound bus headed for the border.

00:04:43 Speaker_03
A source says she's now in FBI custody and is expected to be turned over to US Marshals today.

00:04:49 Speaker_03
She was previously charged with one count of being a stowaway on a vessel or aircraft without consent and was released without paying bail, but had a long list of conditions, including not travelling outside a designated area.

00:05:03 Speaker_03
Her attorney has declined to comment. That's all for now. I'll be back with more news at 9am Eastern.

00:05:14 Speaker_05
Welcome to Times Square.

00:05:15 Speaker_00
Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen are back together to ring in the New Year.

00:05:19 Speaker_01
Best night of my life!

00:05:21 Speaker_00
And anything could happen.

00:05:22 Speaker_01
Oh my gosh! Super!

00:05:24 Speaker_00
