Transcript

[Paul Stevens]

A mass shooting. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. The FBI now investigating Saturday night's mass shooting at a family gathering in Stockton, California.

[Sierra Krug]

The mayor shared his condolences, saying this happened at a child's birthday party. I myself asked the sheriff's county representative about that. She said that is something they are still looking into and cannot confirm at this time. Multiple agencies have been called in to help. They said it's all hands on deck. Their primary focus right now is locating that suspect. People asked how many suspects there are. That's something that sheriff's office and all of those partnering agencies are still looking into. Again, no information right now about the suspect or how many there could be. Covering local news that matters. Sierra Krug, Fox 40 News and at.

[Paul Stevens]

Least four people were killed, 10 others hurt. President Trump is turning up the heat on a South American country that could be a source of illicit substances entering the U.S. fox's Alicia Acuna President Trump.

[Alicia Acuna]

Is stepping up pressure against Venezuela on Truth Social. He warned airlines, pilots and criminals to avoid Venezuelan airspace. The Trump administration has launched at least 21 strikes against alleged drug trafficking vessels, saying it's trying to cut down on illegal drugs. The president also suggested US Land strikes inside that country could begin soon. Venezuela calls Trump's post unjustified aggression against their people.

[Paul Stevens]

And since earlier in the fall, strikes from the Trump administration have targeted vessels traveling across the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean, many believe to have ties to Venezuela's trans. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is asking that country's president for a pardon from long running corruption charges. He's seeking to halt a trial that has deeply divided the nation. Netanyahu is the first sitting Israeli prime minister to stand trial, accused of fraud and taking gifts from wealthy supporters. He has not been convicted.

The New York Police Department confirming multiple arrests Saturday after hundreds of protesters gathered in lower Manhattan near Chinatown near a federal building where ICE operations operations were underway. Videos showing protesters standing in front of law enforcement vehicles and barricading streets with large potted plants and trash cans. Airbus ordering repairs across thousands of their planes on Friday, affecting major carriers including American Airlines, Delta and United but the company says it's an easy fix.

[Ainsley Earhart]

Airbus says it's as simple as doing a software upgrade that takes a couple hours. The A320 is one of the most popular plane models in the world and the recall impacted more than 6,000 jets. So the question is, how long will it take to get all of these planes back in the air? Well, we checked with airlines. As of 10am American Airlines said they had only four planes down. And both Delta and United tell us they've already done the upgrades to most of their planes. They say that operations are no longer affected.

[Paul Stevens]

And that's fox's Caroline Elliott from Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. An award winning British screenwriter and playwright has died. Fox's Jane Fergus, I heard you were a poet.

[Jane Fergus]

But Stoppard identified most as a playwright and won several Tonys including For the Real Thing and Travest. But a quote from his first big play, rosencrantz and Guilden Stern are dead. Seems apartment look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else. Tom Stoppard was 88 years old. James Fergus, Fox News.
