This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

I'm Janet Jalil and in the early hours of Thursday, the 5th of September,

these are our main stories.

Police in the US state of Georgia say a 14 year old has been

detained following a high school shooting in which four people were killed. The

US sanctions Russian state media executives as it accuses Moscow of a

widespread campaign to interfere with this year's presidential election.

Mexico's Congress moves ahead with controversial judicial reforms despite widespread

protests.

Also in this podcast, Animal Rights Groups say a much loved whale suspected of being a Russian spy was shot dead.

The injuries that are clearly visible are so serious and so concerning that we want the police to be involved in an early stage

of this process.

We start with a story that is all too sadly familiar. A school shooting in the US

which has left four people dead. Officials have named a 14 year old student

Colt Gray as a suspected gunman. The school in the state of

Georgia is around 70 kilometers northeast of the state capital Atlanta. These

students described the moment they realized a shooting was underway.

We heard some loud bangs, like gunshots in the hallway,

and we hid, some of them were panicking, felt like they were going to pass out or something.

And after like 20, 15 minutes, the cops came.

Two police officers came in with their guns telling us that this is not a drill and that we're still not safe. The school is still not safe.

The director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Chris Hosey, gave this briefing to reporters.
