Heroes after they killed four men suspected of gang rape and murder in a case that sparked nationwide outrage. And they are calling it the magnifier. Areral australian bushfires so widespread, Authorities Say they cannot be contained. Anchor we begin with a shooting inside a classroom at a u. S. Naval base in florida, which has left four people dead, including the gunman. The suspect is a Saudi National in the u. S. For training. At least eight others are injured at the Naval Air Station in pensacola, florida. Officials say the suspect was unhappy with his commanders and was receiving counseling. U. S. President donald trump says he has been contacted by the saudi leader, who has condemned the shooting. Pres. Trump the kings at the saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the inoter, and this person no way, shape, or form represents the saudi people, who love the American People so much. That was given to me by the king of saudi arabia, and i can tell you it is a horrible thing that took place, and we are getting to the bottom of it. All the investigators are steadying at studying it very closely. Anchor mike, we understand floridas governor has been talking to President Trump about that shooting. What more has he been saying . Anchor the governor reporter the governor expressed deep concern at the situation and deep tragedy at the situation as well. He pointed out the Pensacola Naval base is integral to the community, and the attack would have a massive impact on the tens of thousands that live in neighborhoods surrounding the base. He also raised the question of the Saudi National being the gunman, and asked whether it is possible whether reparations might have to be made by the. Audi state there are going to be a lot of questions about this individual being a Foreign National, part of the Saudi Air Force. Dod,he fbi is working with with the county sheriffs. One of the things i talked to the president about is, given this was a Foreign National in the employ of a foreign service, the government of saudi arabia needs to make things better for these victims. I think they are going to owe a debt here, given this is one of their individuals. Arren and this is clearly very sensitive case because of their relationship between saudi arabia and the u. S. , but what details are emerging in the shooting itself and the Police Investigation Going Forward . Reportsere have been that the officer was receiving counseling and was dissatisfied with his superior officers, but what the npi points out as well is that all of the cadets that were taken in training on this case, particularly the Foreign Nationals, got invented by several foreign agencies in the u. S. , and one of the questions being asked is, how was this particular individual able to get through the vetting process . The other question is how did he get a handgun. Weapons are banned at this particular base, particularly among the students, so certainly there are many questions the investigators are looking at, but principal among them is to remove any possibility that this was indeed a terror attack. Investigators would not comment on a motive, but this is one of the issues they will be looking at in the days ahead. Californias governor saying this is an investigation that could take a long period of time. Darren mike, thank you. Lets bring in our senior fellow at georgetown university, and a human rights lawyer. He joins us via skype. President trump says the shooting is a horrible thing, but he has an extremely tight relationship with the saudis, so what is the diplomatic impact between the two countries, and how sensitive is it . Think it isest, i going to have very little diplomatic impact between the United States and saudi arabia, mainly because of trumps type relationship with the king and prince. I think the bigger impact is going to be on islamophobia here in the United States. You are already seeing many conservative republican lawmakers, both in florida and nationwide, calling this an act of terrorism, when we see these sorts of same Mass Shootings happening on a daily basis. This year there have actually been more Mass Shootings in the United States then days. There have been 300 85 Mass Shootings, 335 days. Just the day before, there was a mass shooting in pearl harbor, in hawaii. But since that perpetrator was not a muslim, it was not called an act of terrorism. My concern is with this being used as a political football by the many rightwing politicians. Floridas governor says there are going to be a lot of questions asked about the shooter. We know he is part of the Saudi Air Force and obviously was training on u. S. Soil. What questions, then, will be shooting itself throw up . Think the main question from a logistical standpoint is going to be in terms of how he was vented to enter the base. Those people who enter military installations in the United States, their names are run against fbi criminal databases from a probably against interpol databases for Foreign Nationals. Criminal databases, for Foreign Nationals, probably against interpol databases. But you are not going to have somebody who showed up in the armed forces of a foreign nation with a criminal record that would show up on a database. Darren i want to pick up on something you mentioned earlier, because one representative in florida says this was indeed a terrorist incident and not just workplace violence. But foreign minute terry trainees Foreign Military trainees have been studying in pensacola for decades. Is anything likely to change . Arsalan the short answer is no. The long answer is trying to understand how things are framed in the United States in the media when we see these Mass Shootings. According to a 2014 study, they found that when a mass shooting is committed by a muslim, that receives 357 more Media Coverage that a miss shooting mass shooting committed by a nonmuslim. Often times, when we see Mass Shootings committed by people who are not muslim, the word terrorism is removed from the discussion, but anytime a muslim commits a mass shooting, the framing of terrorism shows up in the media framework, and i think that is the most disconcerting thing here. Darren thank you for talking to al jazeera. Arsalan my pleasure, darren. Darren to baghdad, where a gunman has killed at least 10 people in iraqs capital. It happened near a protest site in central big dad. Central baghdad. It comes on the day of a new Prime Minister being chosen without foreign interference. The u. S. Imposed sanctions on four iraqis over human rights abuses. It targeted people linked with iran backed militia groups. As the incident is an unusual escalation of the violence. Our reporter says the incident is an unusual escalation of the violence. It appears to be a targeted attack. They pulled up to one of the buildings near the bridges close to the epicenter of the demonstrations in baghdad, and opened fire, killing at least 10, but we are also getting reports that up to 15 protesters may have been killed during the attack with dozens injured, so it is possible the number of deaths will rise in the coming hours because we are curing a lot of people were seriously injured. They burnt the tents and mattresses inside the building, which protesters used to camp out. Then the violence moved into the square. One Security Force tells us that iranian backed arms may be behind this, but we cannot confirm this account. What is certain is that this is unusual escalation. The violence we have seen so far has been the result of Police Firing either teargas canisters or using ammunition. We have not had this sort of attack of an unknown gunman opening fire to attack demonstrators in such a fashion. We are also hearing that three members of an armed group have been killed while trying to protect demonstrators. All this comes at a time when a lot of demonstrators fear infiltration by different agendas and groups trying to hijack these protests to pursue their own objectives. The situation remains tense. We do hear the violence has subsided over the past hour. There are still sounds of gunshots coming from tahrir square, but the situation seems to have deescalated a little bit over the past hour. In our bests bring from indiana university, who is also a former iraqi ambassador. Good to have you back on the program. The violence we have seen so far is between Security Forces and protesters. Now it appears protesters are being targeted by other groups. How significant is this, do you think . We have seen these sort of armed militias being involved in the past, targeting protesters. If thats whats happening, it is not unique. It has happened before, although reported Security Forces being involved. This seems to be significant escalation, not because it is the worst single day of violence, but the cause in part comes on the same day that the hisd ayatollah has issued Statement Today about peaceable demonstrators and the obligation of the Security Forces to protect peaceable demonstrators as well as telling the demonstrators that they must remain peaceful. It looks like it is hampered by effort by ats an least some in the political make cosmetic changes and keep doing business as usual. Darren there are various armed groups backed by iran who have their own agendas, it is suggested. If true, why would they want to hijack the bridges movement the protest movement . Feisal the iranians had their own protests themselves. They cant be looking at these demonstrations with any degree sanguinity. The sectarian dispensation in iraq with those 2003 settlements suits iran to a t. That is what these demonstrators are rejecting. I think iran has a real interest in ensuring that genuine political reform does not come to iraq. Darren an interesting point you make about iran, because the shootings follow callings for a new Prime Minister to be chosen without foreign interference. Is this a reference to iran and its influence inside iraq . Feisal officially, the grand ayatollah can say he also means the headd states, but has been meeting with groups on the issue of the next Prime Minister of iraq. It seems clear that the general meeting, the intent of it, is to say that this is an iraqi issue, stay out of it. Darren final thought from you, we have seen the Iraqi Parliament accept the resignation of the iraqi Prime Minister. What is your assessment of the Political Landscape Going Forward . Feisal the problem we have in iraq is that there is a real deadlock in parliament amongst the parliamentary parties, which is why we have ended up with the outgoing Prime Minister in the first place about a year ago. He was a compromise candidate, brought out of retirement. He had not been in politics for nearly a decade. He had no Political Party in parliament. That same deadlock that led to him being chosen still exists. I do not see that deadlock being broken, im afraid, anytime soon. Im afraid we are in for a period of more uncertainty and chaos, and that is never a good thing in iraq. Darren good to talk to you again. Feisal always a pleasure, thank you.

Last week we have seen a 25 increase in people presenting to our Emergency Departments with breathing problems. That is an increase from an average of about 900 to just over 1100 people. That means this smoke is having an effect, and it reinforces the people, particularly those with existing conditions, to take the conditions seriously and do what they can to avoid exposure.

Darren saudi arabias stateowned oil company has priced its initial Public Offering at 8 4 three dollars a share. 8. 43 a level, at share. It overtakes apple is one of the worlds most valuable listed firms. Countries have agreed to cut output. The idea is that less applied to the output will stabilize prices. But raising prices may not be that simple. Reporter the worlds oil markets move decisions made by the ministers at the headquarters of opec. For the last three years, saudi arabia has lead in reducing oil output. That was supposed to keep the demandsupply ratio in check and Keep Oil Prices between 50 and 65 per barrel. Saudi arabia has announced additional cuts beyond the opec quota, but further cuts made be easier said than done might be easier said than done. There have been quite a few elements moving each way, including economic growth, including trade issues. Reporter countries like russia also play an important role, but in getting all they wanted, one analyst told al jazeera christmas came early for the russian delegation. [speaking russian] reporter we have come to the conclusion that splitting crude oil and cotton is more transparent and basically does not lead to any changes in the quota. Russias quota before todays agreement has been 228 barrels a day, with or without compensate, so there are no changes to the quota. Reduction cuts are also meant to keep prices low enough so u. S. Shale Oil Producers cannot make large profits, which has helped the u. S. In becoming the worlds leading oil producer. Cuts in the output of iran and venezuela because of sanctions means it was relatively easy for opec to reduce duction in 2019 reduce production in 2019. Option a is watch oil prices collapsed. Option b is doing the work to signal to the market credible production cuts, and thats the challenge today, to make credible production cuts. Reporter the bigger question is, how will they get noncompliant nations to abide by the cuts . Countries need Higher Oil Prices and the ability to sell the volume of oil to support their budgets. That paradox has meant Oil Producers such as iraq agreed to output cuts, but in reality that does not always happen. [indiscernible] and we will market that oil. Therefore, iraq and the minister of oil of iraq will be in a much better position for compliance. Reporter when opec was formed, it was all about oil growth, but with nonopec Oil Producers coming into the market, bridging the demandsupply gap, the cartels insulin has dwindled.

He had an unremarkable childhood, but by his teens, he was known to the police. Many here, like elsewhere, are asking how khan could spend so long behind bars and still come out and killed. Clearly in the case of this individual, the rehabilitation system has failed, because having spent seven years in prison, he has gone out and committed the murder of two innocent people. Han was released from prison in december. He had taken part in a Rehabilitation Program, but he was still deemed a risk. He was restricted in who he could meet and where he could go, and he had to wear an electronic tag so authorities knew where he was. Helped bybeen Cambridge Universitys learning together Rehabilitation Program for months before he was given permission to travel alone to london. He even wrote a poem expressing wrote a poem expressing his gratitude to staff. Its unclear whether he had been deceiving them all along, whether his violent ideology has the attack has led to an urgent debate about those imprison who have been convicted of terror offenses and those who have been released. All are what the government calls ages assistance and disengagement program, which aims to rehabilitate people who have been involved in terror related activity, and reduce the risk they pose to the u. K. Khan had been on the course. He was imprisoned for 70,000 hours. He would probably spend a few hours engaged in d radicalization program. Just using common sense, how can a few hours of untested de radicalization programs can be expected to do anything when day today you tell them you are a terrorist .
