"The Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, now looking to move his charges in the 2020 Georgia election case to a federal court, eyeing the move so we can ask a judge to dismiss the case. Hot sir taxing the Northwest power grid. Puget Sound Energy is asking customers to conserve energy, especially between four six and in the afternoons, calling that peak time event. A landmark climate ruling has come down from Montana a court. More from ABC's Brad Milky and Devin Dwyer. This was a group of 16 adults ages 5 to 22, supported by their parents and a nonprofit group out of Oregon suing state the of Montana over language in its constitution that guarantees them a right to a clean and environment. healthful They continue to support a fossil fuel driven energy system which is contributing to the climate crisis and violating our constitutional rights to a clean and healthful environment. And what the judge in this really remarkable decision said was not only is that a fundamental right for all residents of Montana but that it's been denied these plaintiffs in all Montanans because of the way the state is promoting fossil fuels and prohibiting state agencies from considering greenhouse gases in how they develop energy plans and approve permits for oil and gas drilling and so this will send ripple effects across the country even though at this early stage Brad it's largely focused just on the state of Montana. This was a state court. Well and so if the idea here is hey you have to take climate change into account when you're drawing up your policies. What does that mean right now for Montana? Does that mean they have to change their laws and stuff or what? Well an issue in the case was actually a law that the state legislature in Montana which by the way is oil and gas country huge out industry there which they had enacted a few years ago that basically said when it comes to oil and gas permitting, coal plant development and the like that agencies are not to look at climate impacts in any way when they approve these permits. These counties have been hard hit by the pandemic. They've also been hard by trade wars that have impacted our agriculture community. So they need the tax base. And what this group of kids said is that's reckless. I think I have been frustrated by what I perceive as the state, the defendant's unwillingness to acknowledge the realities of climate change and their own actions. Agencies and our policymakers need to be at the very least taking into account the impact of greenhouse gas emissions and the impact on climate. And what the judge wrote here is they sure do under the state's constitution. And in fact, only not do they need to take it into account, but they can't forbid state agencies from doing that. So effective immediately because of this decision, the state of Montana is now going to be having to take a closer look at the impact of greenhouse gases on the decisions they're making in terms of approving energy projects, new coal -fired power plants and the like. It was so crystal clear that the state of Montana could take action now to stop harming the youth plaintiffs. But more broadly, Brad, this sends a huge message nationwide to similar challenges in other states. There's active litigation like this in Hawaii, in Utah and Virginia. Those three states have language similar in their constitutions. This is a new line of attack from environmental groups trying to urge governments to do more to curb climate change and the impacts of climate change. And in Montana now, this is a very significant turn. That's ABC's Devon Dwyer reporting. A group of airlines is taking a hard look at the climate impact of airplane emissions and contrails. Some new research suggesting those streaks of condensation could be trapping warm air in the atmosphere. First American, now Southwest, United Alaska and Virgin Atlantic have joined to in efforts reduce the creation of contrails. In some cases it's been as simple as changing the route or the altitude of a given flight, keeping the plane out of bands of humid air at upper levels. In the passenger cabin, no one is the wiser.

"Washington reporter Devin Dwyer got an exclusive interview with the so -called UFO Tsar. sat Devin down with ABC's Brad Milkey. I just wanted a clear -cut answer, Brad, that they've got the spacecraft in the closet and it's all going to come to light soon. No, we didn't get that in this interview but it was a remarkable conversation. Dr. Kirkpatrick, thanks for having us. The first time Dr. Sean sat Kirkpatrick down for an interview. He's been on the job for a year. You know, I'm a long -term intelligence officer, scientist, and military officer. Who has been tasked with leading this office created by Congress a year ago called the All -Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. It's a mouthful. What does it mean? It means tracking all the unusual mysterious sightings in the air, in space, even underwater, that are reported by the military and trying to make sense of them in coordinating across the government. He's basically the UFO czar for the United States. What's the most misconception have people of UAPs or of the work you're doing? Well, I'd say the most common conception is that they're all the same thing and they're all extraterrestrial. The new term is unidentified anomalous because phenomena they just haven't been able to explain these anomalies. Some of them aren't flying. And the top line takeaway, Brad, he says you see no evidence yet of intelligent alien life on Earth, but can't rule it out. Devin, we have so many purported sightings this at point, even in recent history. We've even heard from more and more whistleblowers, some of whom have real resumes. I mean, what does what does he consider legit and like a legit possibility and what what is not as legit when he about hears it? Well, Dr. Kirkpatrick says any sighting, any claim, any report with some evidence to it is taken seriously. And his job, Brad, was to sort of come into this role and basically collect everything, create a file across the government, every agency, every military branch going back decades. Let's put it all in one place and see if we can connect some dots and come to some conclusions. And that's he's what done and so far there are 800 cases that they are reviewing, reported sightings, video evidence, audio evidence, still photographs, anecdotal accounts, all different sorts of things from military people that didn't really pass muster. They couldn't really figure out what it We was. have to go through the rigor of taking each one, matching it against our known objects and known catalogs and then reviewing that, peer reviewing that, making sure that he's in agreement. He tells me each report, each of those 800 things, they're going to come up with some conclusion if they can and put a report on it and check the box. They're only through a very small number of those. It's very time consuming, but on first pass, he says 95 to 98 % of the cases are likely readily explainable. They range from everything from large birds to humans to drones and quadcopters. Take for example, the report by a number of personnel of seeing these triangles glowing in the sky above them a few years ago. Dr. Kirkpatrick, Dr. K as he's called at the Pentagon. He says they're writing a report on that now, which concludes Is that those glowing triangles in the sky were actually ordinary drones that were distorted by night He does say about 2 to 3 % of the cases that they're looking at are true anomalies. That is they don't have an explanation. They don't have an explanation, but he isn't that they don't actually exist. Hmm.

"Sponsored by Michael chute casino. Thanks for joining us this evening. I'm Kim shepherd, and the U.S. Supreme Court has issued its ruling involving abortion, medication. ABC's kana Whitworth and Devon dwyer break it down. Devin, I know you have been pouring over this decision all day long, keeping a close eye on it. Can you break it down for us? Kane of this came down almost to the wire, the Supreme Court gave itself into a midnight tonight to decide on what to do in this case, and they said, status quo, this is a status quo action by the Supreme Court and the decision itself is only a paragraph with the justices saying that they are going to decline to let those lower court rulings take effect. Those rulings from a Texas judge and the conservative 5th circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans would have put in substantially restrictive guidelines around the use of men for personal, which is the most widely used abortion method in America. Instead, the justices recognizing, I think, just how sweeping an impact those restrictions would have have put them on ice right now while the legal battle continues. Next month on May 17th, the appeals court in New Orleans is set to your arguments in this case, it will continue this debate and battle will play on, but from now the Supreme Court says the drug can remain available as always with the guidelines that are on the books right now as they've been for the last few years. A huge relief, not only for millions of American women and the Biden administration, but for the pharmaceutical industry Cana which was very concerned about the implications of this decision. Brian, do you want to elaborate on that at all Devin about what this means for this pharmaceutical industry? Yeah, drug companies, kana, were deeply concerned by the fact that a court first a Texas court, a single judge appointed by Donald Trump, then an appeals court waded into the approval process for an American drug that has never happened before in this country.
