00:02The man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk has apparently confessed,
00:07telling people the killing was politically motivated, prosecutors said on Tuesday.
00:12During his initial court appearance, prosecutors stated the suspect, Tyler Robinson,
00:17claimed he targeted Kirk because he saw him as a threat to the country.
00:21The judge ordered the 22-year-old to be held without bail,
00:25with his next court hearing set for September 29th.
00:28Meanwhile, Utah County Prosecutor Jeffrey Gray filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty.
00:43Prosecutors also revealed a note left by Robinson contained his plan to kill Kirk
00:47and a list of other potential political targets.
00:50The case widened on Tuesday when Robinson's roommate, Adam Johnson,
00:58was also charged with obstruction of justice for hiding evidence.
01:03The FBI has now opened a parallel federal investigation to see if any domestic terrorism laws were violated.
01:12Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and a close ally of President Donald Trump,
01:16was shot and killed with a rifle on September 10th at a Utah university.
01:25Romania's former presidential front-runner has been charged with plotting to overthrow the government.
01:31Kalin Georgescu is accused, along with 21 others,
01:34plotting violence after last year's presidential election was cancelled over alleged Russian interference.
01:41According to prosecutors, the group sought to endanger national security and undermine Romania's constitutional order.
01:50One of the suspects is Horatiu Portra,
01:52a mercenary who prosecutors say formed a paramilitary group after meeting Georgescu last December.
01:59The group allegedly planned to spark clashes and carry out, quote,
02:03violent actions of a subversive nature.
02:06Prosecutors say he is now trying to seek asylum in Russia.
02:12The charges against Georgescu come after Romania's constitutional court annulled the election's first round in November,
02:19citing suspected Russian interference, a claim Moscow has denied.
02:23Georgescu was barred from entering the election's rerun in May,
02:26which was ultimately won by pro-EU candidate Nikursa Dan.

02:50with the biggest increases in food, alcohol and tobacco all up 3.2%,
02:56and services up 3.1%.
02:59Non-energy industrial goods rose to 0.8%, while energy prices fell by 2%.
03:06The new data comes just a week after the European Central Bank decided to keep interest rates unchanged.
03:13The bank's key deposit rate remains at 2%, its lowest level in more than two years.
03:19ECB head Christine Lagarde stressed the bank isn't locked into a fixed path
03:23and that future decisions will depend on how the economy performs.

04:39Arabic media outlets quoting medical sources on the ground say the death toll from Tuesday's attacks has surpassed 90.
04:46The attack comes as Israel declared the start of its long-threatened operation in Gaza City, which seeks to occupy the biggest urban settlement in the Strip.
04:55We are planning an effort in Gaza, which will continue whatever it takes, according to the security and security plan, until the defense of the war.
05:05The IDF estimates that approximately 350,000 of Gaza City's roughly 1 million residents were forcibly evacuated on Tuesday.
05:25In a meeting with military generals, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is working on removing even more of the remaining residents.
05:34International condemnation has poured in following the announcement of the commencement of the operation.

06:09She also announced that the European Commission will present measures on Wednesday to pressure the Israeli government to change course.
06:16We are very proud of this project because we are located in Europe and nobody else so fast did this project.
06:37So we are very thankful for our partners, for the boat company who built the boats.
06:44And it was obviously a big responsibility for the city and for the citizens to say that, yes, we will make a boat in six, seven months.
06:53If you live in the center in this area and you work here, I guess, yes, especially maybe women would like it, like a romantic way to go to work or to clear your mind after work.
07:15I think it will be very cool.
07:17If we're saying that it's public transportation, but it's slower than walking, so we're not being honest.
07:32And if we're not being honest about every single part of this green transformation, then people will be confused and in the end they will be disappointed.
07:45For now, I think it's a good experiment and I like experiments, so I'm rooting for it to work, but I'm a bit skeptical.
08:15I think it's a Tabii.
08:16And it's thrilled that it's been far from today, and I can say, between three working needs and gestures, like that, I don't see them.
08:17But certainly I'm problem.
08:30And I know that the biggest insight from all the time.
08:30The only interesting things you have in front of this game is to stop getting over the ceiling.
08:35There are a lot of doubt that I have in front of this game.
08:41Not only was he an incredible actor,
09:09but we all know his work.
09:11But as a director, too, films like Quay's show,
09:15he was one of the first guys to do political thrillers,
09:19Three Days of the Condor, All the President's Men.
09:22He kind of created, he paved the way for films like this.
09:26But more so than anything, he was a staunch environmental leader
09:31and was a member of the NRDC like me and fought for indigenous rights.
09:36The list goes on and on.
09:37We lost a legend today.
09:38It's so sad.
09:40You know, it's inevitable.
09:41It just happens.
09:43But he left behind so much.
09:46And we're never going to see that guy again.
09:47You know, that's a different era, a different kind of man,
09:50different mentality.
09:51That's why it needs to be revered.
09:54I mean, not just an incredible list of roles and films,
09:59both as director, as actor, as producer,
10:02but then also the whole Sundance institution.
10:04And, I mean, that will live on and on.
10:06And, you know, Coda being bought there at Sundance,
10:09you know, I would always think of him
10:10and I hope that I would have a chance to meet him.
10:13And unfortunately, I didn't.
10:15But it's so touching and I'm so grateful for all of his work
10:18and the accumulation of all of his hard work.
10:22And we still talk about him.
10:24Even after he passes away, his impact will live on
10:26and we'll really miss him.
10:27Robert Redford!
10:29Robert Redford!
10:31Robert Redford!
10:33Robert Redford!
10:35Just as someone that contributed something to the sustainability of our
11:05culture, I guess, whether it's my work as a film, I think probably whatever I do, what
11:11will probably last the longest are the films that I've made because they have a long life.
11:16So just that I was somebody that brought something to the culture that had some sustainability
