WTO P national security correspondent JJ green joins us live with more on this case, JJ. Hillary Jack to share appeared in court today, as you said, to face two charges under the espionage act for taking classified national defense information and leaking it. He was ordered held without bond his next court appearance is next Wednesday. He did not enter a plea today to sheer allegedly took classified intelligence out of a facility to his home, printed it and posted it on a gaming chat site online. He was assigned to Otis Air National Guard base on Cape Cod in 2021. He was given a top secret SCI security clearance. His job was basically to be an information technician, meaning he was supposed to make sure that the computers and the systems and the cables they operated on were functioning as they should. Reporting live, JJ green, WTO news. JJ, what do we know about the sheriff's understanding of what he allegedly was doing and do these court documents shed any light on that? The documents seem to indicate that he was aware of what he was doing. And a part of the reason why that is put in that particular context late in the process here, meaning a couple of few days ago, actually, he went on a government computer at his work, and then began to search for the term leaked in classified documents suggesting that he knew that this was a problem. And there was some reporting early on in some of The Washington Post and New York Times reporting earlier in the week that indicated he had told some of the people that he engaged with on this site that he was concerned that he had messed up, made a mistake, and these documents were going to get him in trouble. So that's precisely what these charging documents suggest that he knew he was in trouble and was looking to see if it had made it to the eyes of the government at that time. This was a few days ago. All right, JJ, thank you so much. You're welcome. WTO national security correspondent JJ green.

"Weather. The WTO producers desk. His wired by IBW local 26, where electrical contractors come to grow. Good afternoon, I'm Sean Anderson. I'm Hillary Howard, Mike Jacques is our producer. Less than a week after a mysterious balloon from China was shot down off the east coast, another has been taken out of the sky in Alaska. This was different and there are a lot more questions that need to be answered. Let's get the latest with WTO P national security correspondent JJ green. The first one was the size of an airplane. This one, the size of a small car. It showed up last night. North American aerospace defense command detected an object on ground radar. Pentagon press secretary, Brigadier general pat Ryder says it was determined it was another high altitude airborne object, and it was confirmed by two more fighter jets today, and then the decision was made to shoot it down. The aircraft that took down the object was an F-22. Ryder said it was not known where it came from, what its purpose was, or where it was going. And while I won't go into specifics due to classification reasons, I can say that we have located a significant amount of debris so far. And he confirmed that the reason it was taken down was that it was flying at approximately 40,000 feet and was a reasonable threat to civilian aviation or passenger planes, reporting live, JJ green, WTO news. JJ, a couple other questions here. Where are where is the debris and what is the military doing with it? It's off the northeastern coast, at least this is what we're being told right now about this off the northeastern coast of Alaska. And it's being collected by military helicopters. There are several different airframes that are collecting it. But what I gather is that this is much smaller and much easier to find and I'm not clear about the state of the debris when it impacted the water or if it sunk, but there have been some thoughts and reports at least suggesting that it did not sink. So it may be a little bit easier to collect than the other, but that's what we've heard off the northeastern part of Alaska and it's in the water and perhaps floating on top. Thanks so much, JJ. You're welcome. WTO P national security correspondent JJ green. Our other big story is the FBI discovering an additional classified document at former vice president Mike Pence's Indiana home. This was described as a consensual search of the Pence family home, not a raid, and negotiated with Justice Department. Pence adviser Devin O'Malley says during the 5 hour search, one document that was marked classified and 6 other pages without markings were removed by the FBI. Mike Pence is attorney requested a review of records stored at his home after the uproar over the discovery of classified documents, found it former presidents, Trump and Biden's personal residences. Some Pence documents were discovered in January, and now these additional pages have been found.

By 34 now to turkey and Syria, more than 23,000 people are now confirmed dead from Monday's 7.8 magnitude quake and chances are dwindling by the hour of finding any more survivors in the rubble. The United Nations warns hundreds of thousands in those two countries are in urgent need of hot meals, and many are displaced with no shelter from the winter weather.

Aid is getting through but only slowly and it's just starting to U.S. search and rescue teams have recently arrived.

"And I'm Sean Anderson, Mike Jacques is our producer. Cop story we're following tonight the latest round of military assistance coming to Ukraine. The U.S. and Germany say today they will send advanced battle tanks to Ukraine. They will help keep breakthrough the combat stalemate in the war with Russia. Just last week, the U.S. was reluctant to send the sophisticated M1 tanks national security correspondent JJ green explains the turnaround. This appears to be what led to the change. We assessed that Ukraine will need a combination of armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and tanks to be successful on the battlefield in the coming months and even years. Brigadier general pat Ryder, spokesman for The Pentagon. So the logic is Ukraine needs tanks now. Germany and Europe can provide those tanks. The U.S. tanks, which will take longer to get to them, will be provided for fighting in the future. And what we'll do is we'll use that time to help train Ukrainians as well as work with them on building the logistics maintenance and sustainment infrastructure that will be required. In other words, this war won't be over soon and those tanks will come in handy WTO national security correspondent JJ green. New tonight, we're learning more about what took place inside a Montgomery county high school more than a year ago when a student was shot in a bathroom. In a new addition to its after action report, the school system is revealing new information it's learned about the missteps that happened during the response to the shooting of a 15 year old at magruder high school. This includes uncertainty on the day of the shooting about who was in charge police for school officials and also some breaks and proper lockdown procedures such as teachers leaving classrooms and even a responding school system staffer entering the building during a lockdown. We also learned that in the classroom where the shooter Steven Olsen junior was before his arrest, that students were dismissed when a bell rang, even though they shouldn't have been. We also learned about the lifesaving actions of a school nurse that day that used to stop the bleed kit to help the student who was shot, and also there was no cell phone reception in that bathroom, so that lifesaving information from dispatchers was relayed by other staff members through walkie talkies. The school system says it's taken a number of actions to address the findings already, the shooter Steven alston junior is serving time for the crime, Mike Morello, WTO news. To the latest development in the case of the Newport News Virginia teacher recently shot by one of her 6 year old students, we are getting word that teacher is suing that school district saying the administration did not protect its people. This is outrageous. Richneck elementary school teacher Abigail's Warner's attorney, Diane toscano says the school administration was warned three times by staff on the day of the shooting that the 6 year old student could be armed. Given the opportunity to call the police over a report of a potentially armed student, the school administrator failed to act and protect the school. School superintendent George Parker the third has said at least one administrator was told the boy may have a weapon, but nothing was found in his backpack. Police say they were unaware staff expressed concerns that day. Toscano says the 25 year old teacher is healing from serious injuries after being shot through her hand and in her chest. Some local leaders are taking action to prevent something like that from happening again. One Republican delegate enrichment says she's working on legislation to address discipline in schools, giving teachers more support. Prince William county leaders are considering adding safety measures to protect kids and teachers. It's considering weapons screening technology for anyone entering a school.

CBS News special report a jury in New York is found former president Donald Trump's company guilty of tax fraud, saying the top Trump corporation executives hatched the scheme to Dodge paying income tax on company benefits. Of course, funded Catherine herridge. There were perks such as apartments, chauffeurs, car services, all of this should have been declared as income. But the jurors found that it was not properly declared and it was the basis of the tax fraud charges. What about Donald Trump's role in this? Legal analyst Jessica Levinson. It does, I think, matter that the prosecutor said in closing arguments that the former president was aware that he basically blessed the situation, the defense actually asked for, I believe, a mistrial and said, we've got to start all over again.

"To grow. Good afternoon, I'm Sean Anderson. I'm Hillary Howard Mike Jacques is our producer. Well, you knew it was going to happen the fed raises interest rates three quarters of a percentage point, it's the 6th hike this year to curb inflation. Business analyst Jill schlesinger says the fed also sent a very important signal. There was something new in the accompanying statement this time around. The fed has acknowledged that there is a lag between the action of raising interest rates and how quickly those higher rates actually impact the economy. This change to the official statement suggests that the Central Bank could pull back on the size of future rate hikes. How is Wall Street responding well, not particularly happy, Dow is down 386 points. NASDAQ downed three O 6, the S&P down 79. More breaking news on WTO, both stories concerning the commanders.

"Good morning, I'm Mark Lewis. And I'm Deborah Feinstein, Mike Jacques is our producer. The top story we're following reaction from President Biden this morning to OPEC's decision to cut production by a larger than expected 2 million barrels a day, starting in November. And we're looking at what the alternatives you may have. Yesterday's decision to reduce oil production is an effort to support sagging oil prices. Analysts say it could harm the struggling global economy and cause an increase in the price at the pump in the weeks before the midterm elections. OPEC's decision could also help Russia, which is a member of the cartel to deal with an anticipated ban by European nations on most Russian oil. The president today said it remains to be seen if you'll meet with Russian president Putin at the G 20 summit in November. Well, it's happened again, migrants sent by bus were dropped off this morning outside the vice president's home in northwest D.C.. The more than two dozen migrants from Venezuela and Ecuador came from Texas. More than 3000 have arrived here in D.C. in recent months, aid groups are helping them mayor Bowser is requested help from the National Guard to respond to the migrant crisis, but she's been rejected by The Pentagon twice. The D.C. National Guard is controlled by the president, unlike National Guard units and states and territories, which are controlled by governors. New developments affecting the Obama era policy that prevents the deportation of hundreds of thousands of immigrants, brought to the U.S. as children. The future of DACA, the deferred action for childhood arrivals program is now up in the air after a ruling by a federal appeals court. The Biden administration is still not allowed to approve any new DACA applications. However, the decision by the court leaves some of that program intact. The appeals court decided to leave the program in place for current recipients or about nearly 600,000 immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children who do not have legal status who are currently enrolled in DACA. Galvez reporting, a federal court in Texas ruled last year that former president Obama's executive order violated federal law in part because the administration did not seek public comment. To Florida now, where residents are dealing with tainted water power outages, destroyed homes and the loss of loved ones after hurricane Ian lashed the state more than a week ago. Some of those hardest hit are in Fort Myers in southwestern Florida. That's where we find WTO's Melissa Howell. You can see that this is a wasteland. Walking

CBS News special report, the Federal Reserve has raised a key interest rate by three quarters of a percentage point. The third time in a row the fed has ramped up interest rates. CBS News business analyst Jill schlesinger says it's all about keeping prices under control. The issue with the fed is inflation. Food is running at 11.4% higher than it was a year ago.

Another major story this afternoon, former president Trump is being sued for business fraud by New York's attorney general. The suit names Donald Trump and his three adult children as defendants. We show that they violated several state criminal laws. Attorney general letitia James says they falsely stated Trump's net worth from real estate holdings by billions of dollars. She's also referring the charges to federal prosecutors and the IRS. We believe the conduct alleged in this action also violates federal criminal law, including issuing false statements to financial institutions and bank fraud.
