Police say the gunman behind the last vegas mass shooting had nearly fifty weapons including a dozen with devices that made them fire automatically. The police also released this body camera footage showing officers trying to locate the source of the gunfire Stephen Paddick killed fifty eight people and injured more than five hundred when he opened fire from a hotel room on an outdoor concert lets take you live now to las vegas gallagher is that with the latest on the investigation and. You know adrian we know that sunday nights events were horrific but that body camera footage that you just showed really gives you a snapshot of what things were like his officers were scrambling to find where the gunfire was coming from trying to get members of the public to safety but lets listen to what the citys under sheriff had to say. The suspect i can tell you that we know now that he fired off and on for somewhere between nine and eleven minutes we know that the suspect fired over a dozen or so volleys and we know that the firing by the suspect ceased at ten nineteen so way to think about that the minute the first minute the police are aware of shots being fired at ten oclock ten o eight and it stops at ten nineteen thats a remarkable response by this Police Department there were two cameras located in the hallway so that the suspect could watch as Law Enforcement or security approached his room and there was another camera placed inside the Hotel Room Door people so that he could see down the hallway and the President Trump during last vegas tomorrow as it is for you later on wednesdays it is from for much of the world what are we expecting from that visit. Well i think this is a time when the president has to act as the consoler in chief this is a city in deep mourning forty eight people have died at the hands of a gunman more than five hundred injured so you have to imagine that he will be at the very least visiting local hospitals talking to survivors and doing what he can to make the people of las vegas feel better through a very very tragic time hes already said incidentally that the talk of gun control any talk of gun control is for now off the table obviously thats a highly political issue something people say that shouldnt be talked about of the moment in the midst of all this tragedy but it is something i think that a lot of americans do want to talk about when you look at the weapons that Stephen Paddick had when you look at the modifications he made and his sheer ability to amass almost fifty Deadly Weapons but i do think that we will see a president that will be consoling people giving people comfort and perhaps speaking to the rest of the country all right only many thanks and you got to go live in glass vegas where investigators in that city are still poring over what they consider to be an active Crime Scene Police say that some of the numerous guns belonging to the deceased gunman have been sent to f. B. I. Laboratories for analysis rob reynolds has more on the weapons used in the sometimes contradictory gun laws of the u. S. This is the gun shop where mass murderer Stephen Paddick bought part of his arsenal was talking how he was new to the area kind of visiting all the firearm stores in the area firearms laws in nevada where paddock lived are extremely lax says criminal justice expert William Souza people are able to. Buy semiautomatic. Weapons handgun rifles assault rifles people also are able to openly carry. Weapons on them in any edition as much as you want there are no restrictions in terms of the amount ammunition that you can buy or any modern weapons they can buy for that matter what weapon tatic used in his killing spree is especially alarming it appears that you know the individual who who did this was was using fully automatic weapon such weapons can fire nine bullets per second that was the kind of gun fire that was coming out of the window the thirty second floor of that hotel and he had massive firepower fully automatic weapons are in most cases illegal. But there is a loophole there are kits available that are legal to buy on the internet that allow an individual with some technical skill to convert a semiautomatic weapon to fully automatic fire Police Confirmed paddocks modified for rapid firing we are aware of a device called a bone stock. And. Enables an individual to speed up the discharge ammunition stocks can be bought online for about one hundred dollars one of the many loopholes in our gun laws in the United States that while it is illegal to take an existing semiautomatic and transform it into a fully automatic weapon that is illegal and then to own that weapon thats illegal under federal law its not illegal to sell the kit that allows you to do it. Build in Las Vegas Massacre sparked new gun control legislation unlikely with the current political configuration in power in washington d. C. The Republican Party in control of congress and the presidency you will see no action by either branch of government to tighten up gun laws americans have come to realize that no concert night club school or theater can ever be safe from a determined gunman with eight in his heart rob reynolds al jazeera las vegas well were continuing to hear stories of heroism from the last vegas using like this account from a man who found a victim bleeding off to being struck by a bullet we.

S. Been a simple history with debts amounting to seventy two billion dollars habitats he reports from san juan. Its clear that donald trump has made up his mind about the success of his administrations relief efforts in puerto rico during a selfcongratulatory event shortly after landing the president praised the military local officials and members of his cabinet for the Emergency Response suggested that the crisis in puerto rico wasnt as bad as the aftermath of other hurrican disasters if you look at a real catastrophe like katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that. And you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally overpowering nobodys ever seen anything like this after landing the president did shake hands with the mayor of san juan who strongly criticized the administrations response is too slow she was reported to have said as they shook hands its not about politics its not clear what the president s response was youll see mccann is a u. S. Army veteran this is his response to the president s comments i think that we definitely cost a lot of money to the states but they also have to think about how many soldiers we lost how many lives we lost three percent in the United States so theyve given us a lot of money yet but weve been given a lot of lives others didnt take Donald Trumps comments too seriously he is the way he has jumped in this but can we say that. Progress is being made according to the governor petrol stations banks and supermarkets are reopening telecommunications have been restored to forty percent of customers and truck capacity at the port is back to sixty percent of normal but fifty five percent of the population is still without Running Water ninety five percent are without electricity and despite the president s words no audit is complete of those who died Community Groups say there are still areas untouched by government help the president satisfaction with relief efforts is more evidence of the disconnect between the white house and this u. S. Territory theres long been a belief here among the three and a half million u. S. Citizens and puerto rico that theyre not listened to in washington they call even vote after all and now there are very real concerns they wont be this into as reconstruction begins she had zero sound one.

S. Officials say pakistan is among the reasons the a failed its clear to me that the i. S. I. Has connections with with terrorist groups and if i could just follow up on something secretary mabus i think over the last several years weve had a bilateral approach to trying to effect the change in pakistans behavior. Its not about says the latest round of accusations are absurd the cia paid back son millions of dollars to set up the fight to the end of the understand in the one nine hundred seventy s. By his son has also played a role in u. S. Led efforts to mediate between the parliament of government and the state department has reiterated that the only solution is a political one focus on not just afghanistan but also india and also incorporating pakistan and that is sort of a regional approach. The key element of that is eventually getting afghan afghans to talk to afghans and that would it would certainly include the taliban getting them to talk to one another. And is against indias increasing role in of one a son the foreign minister is in washington to try to remind the administration about pakistans sacrifices during the last sixteen years the government says its economy lost billions of dollars in addition to the debts. More than eighty thousand people. China is strengthening as the relationship with the u. S. Deteriorates i cant. Be trumpeting ministration is taking a radically harsh more vigorous approach to pakistan but i think they want to give the pakistanis the impression that they might.

At around twenty eight celsius western parts of the caribbean on the other hand not quite so fine not quite so dry big masses of cloud from the heads rumbling away through those central and western parts of the region that could lead to some localized flooding very heavy rain just around the bahamas at the moment but notice for the last around it is not too bad here. For the congolese the journey to work all the more means unimaginable hardship i prefer to lie down because then you might get the cock into chancing life and live on a dangerous journey through the jungle i fell into the rails and nearly died. Our children go to school and live because of the train. Risking it all the democratic republic of congo at this time on al jazeera. Again the top stories this hour on aljazeera. Right. Las vegas police have released body camera footage showing officers trying to locate the source of the gunfire some from sundays mass shooting Stephen Paddick killed fifty eight people and injured more than five hundred but he opened fire from a hotel room onto an outdoor Concert Police say he had forty seven guns across three locations. U. S. Defense secretary james mattis has told the senate that washington will give islam about another chance to help with afghanistan before taking what he described as punitive action a top u. S. Military officer general Joseph Dunford has accused pakistans Intelligence Agency of having ties to groups. For the death toll in puerto rico following her record maria has reached thirty four u. S. President donald trump has told puerto rican officials that they should be proud that thousands of lives were lost in Hurricane Maria hsia compared the disasters what he called a real catastrophe like kareena. Katrina on his First Official visit to me. Donald trump has said that puerto ricos debt may have to be written off earlier this year the u. S. To the biggest bankruptcy in u. S. To be discipline history its debts amounts to seventy two billion dollars he tweeted that were going to have to wipe that out youre going to say goodbye to that and tony i want to is the last in america analyst he joins us via skype from miami and city good to have you with us what do you think donald trump meant by that i mean really is going to wipe out both ricas debt. You know with the you never know what he actually means as youve probably heard the whole thing about the certain people take him seriously but not literally others take him literally but not seriously and this case i think we probably have to take him seriously but not not literally i my my gas is that hes not talking about somehow pushing for a full pardon of that debt but that was already you know the target has been defaulting on its obligations for a couple of years have been operating under a law called which is as a qualified Bankruptcy Law that was specific to puerto rico so already it was pretty clear that most of the banks that had. Standing puerto rican debt were never going to get paid in full that they would probably have to and that debt would be paid at some sort of a discount now with this complete and utter catastrophe in puerto rico. Its very difficult to imagine that puerto rico is going to be able to pay anything back its going to be desperate for funds to be able to rebuilt and to what extent has this this dense this this dire financial situation camp the Recovery Efforts following the hurrican. Well i think its been significant because i think whats happened and i dont want to put it all on just the debt i think theres just tremendous mismanagement on the government side which actually probably led to the debt being as high as as it is but whats happened is that because of its terrible financial situation dave allowed the infrastructure across the island to deteriorate terribly and so when a storm of this magnitude comes in with a weak infrastructure the devastation is tremendous i mean you should see what its like down here in miami and we only got
