From Morning Report, 7:10 am on 16 February 2018

Donald Trump has told America's children they are never alone and never will be. Addressing the nation after yesterday's mass school shooting in Florida the US President said no child or teacher should ever be in danger at a US school and he urged children who felt lost alone or confused to seek help. The 19-year-old shooter, Nikolas Cruz, is being charged with 17 counts of premediatated murder. It is the 18th school shooting this year, and it's only the middle of February. Our US correspondent in Florida Matthew Peddie joins us with the latest details.
