Heavily armed Police Moving through a Shopping Center in texas after reports of an active shooter in other parts of the mall in el paso shoppers were held in place while people try to work out what was going on. You know your column here right in. There and it got out there then there was what has become common in america lines of people being led from the scene of another mass shooting on on a day that would have been a normal day for someone to leisurely go shopping.

Are injured. We as a state unite and support. Police have arrested one man a 21 year old who allegedly posted a reeses grand online on an extremist website just a note or so before the shooting but needless to say this scene is a riff equivalent unfortunately because of the nature of the situation the scene will be in play for a long period unfortunately the c. S. Will remain at the scene until the scene is process properly for. Evidentiary purposes to be gathered for later prosecution the state of texas will be the lead agency for him to be prosecuting this particular individual. That has a nexus s. This will point in time to a hate crime the f. B. I. Will be looking into that with the other federal authorities right now were looking out for to capital murder charges for this individual clint emotional democratic president ial hopeful back to ork who is from el paso announced he was canceling for the campaigning and heading back to the city and so i just ask for everyone strength for a passer right now everyones resolved to make sure that this does not continue to happen in in this country u. S. President donald trump has been informed of the shooting and promised the city and state any help required this is the 13th mass shooting in the United States in just the past 7 days alan fischer ill just read it. All rob reynolds is live for us now in el paso so rob what more do we know about the shooter at this point. Well we know. 21 year old busy white male is alive and in custody the origins here say that he will likely be charged with multiple counts of capital murder you heard in allan fishers report just a few moments. That he had left some sort of writing on the on line from his political thoughts or. What can only really be described as a sort of racist screed i asked Governor Greg Abbott the republican governor of texas a few moments ago when he was here talking to reporters if there was anything that he could think of that is brought in the body politic and the rhetoric in the United States political discourse these days that could have inspired someone to do Something Like this and he simply said that this is a disgusting and despicable act and doesnt represent. Anything about texas as far as where this band was from we know that he was from a city called al and its in the suburbs of dallas this is a big state texas and thats over a 1000 kilometers away so he drove here specifically to el paso to carry out this deed it would appear. Certainly this scene behind me where you can see police have cordoned off this a massive Homicide Investigation now and what already is will be looking into this individuals writing use it to. Speed or actions possibly with other people if there were any either online or in person and attempt to find out more about his motive for this horrific act that has shocked the city the past so the state of texas and shocked once again the United States of america. Yeah and as that investigation unfolds rob but as to what may have been the motives. For this the fact remains that we we are once again talking about yet another mass shooting in the United States you know on some on sunday night i was doing the same thing i was doing a report about a mass shooting at a garlic festival in gilroy california so these things happen all the time and you can now and a mole in the walmart superstore to the to the long list of places in the United States that includes churches schools synagogues mosques bars nightclubs rock concerts Country Music venues where it is no longer safe where it is always possible that Something Like this could happen. And as far as texas i know that that is a state that has some some quite liberal. Gun laws so. I suppose that 40 Something Like this was was perhaps inevitable. Well nothing is inevitable course but it has happened before in texas and me and my fellow journalist covered a shooting in a small town Sutherland Spring several years ago were more than 2 more than 20 people were killed in a sure church yes it is true texas has lax gun laws it encourages. There are laws that allow for the concealed carry. Weapons even on College Campuses and places like that but lets note also that the california where the most recent form of this mass shooting took place has some of the remotest restrictive gun laws in the nation so what did the shooter do in that case he went to nevada right next door where he could buy a gun much more easily could and he would have been able to buy in california so really gun control and gun restrictions are only as strong as the weakest link the weakest state regulations and youre right here in texas those regulations are pretty weak for the moment. Paso texas thanks paul. Our Police Station in hong kong has been vandalized in the latest the antigovernment protests there have been going on for months now and began over an extra bush extradition bill that would have sent criminal suspects to Mainland China the proposed law was suspended but protesters are now demanding greater political reform Andrew Thomas has more. Than other nights and another area of hong kong is the site of confrontation this time the shopping district of kaolin on the northern side of hong kong harbor. Protests that started calmly tens of thousands walking a route approved by place but thousands branched off and theyd clearly come prepared for violence you come with a gas mask with a helmet youve hidden your face white. Afraid and after all the protests photos and i mean. Our become the one wholl be arrested arent you provoking the place by coming dressed like this. Are you wanting violence no i dont want titles but only protesting. These protests began back in june with specific demands that proposed laws allowing people to be extradited to Mainland China be scrapped now though these protests are about political reform democracy so this is no longer about the extradition snow no longer get i mean maybe its about 1 extradition 2 months ago but now is about our democracy we rudie space we all corners. Real hong kong not china government not british but us but the protests are also now about expressing anger towards the policing of previous events this Police Station became the focal point on saturday with people hurling rocks at the compound. Leaving cards smashed inside and lighting fires after an hour under siege came the inevitable confrontation the planes have now moved and you can see them flying from the ground is moving fast. There are more protests planned to sunday the recruits for a general strike on monday its impossible to know how or when the hong kong return to normal calm people lose their satisfaction to the government and now its the summer of discontent. Discontent which on saturday yet again turned ugly under thomas Al Jazeera Hong Kong are thousands of people in hong kong also rallied for an end to the protests they called for unity with china and said the one country 2 systems policy of hong kong works they urge protesters to express themselves peacefully and help posters showing solidarity with police. I hate and firmly oppose the recent violent incidents which damaged our good life we are really loving our china and hong kong the violence make is a driven by all tyria motives and manipulated by external powers so they damaged our hometown hong kong they stand absolutely opposite to hong kong residents are just chang is a political analyst and former professor at City University in hong kong and joins us via skype from there thanks very much for being with us so. What do you make of what weve seen in hong kong over the last 24 hours. Antigovernment protests and the clashes with police and then people on the other side coming out into the in the streets showing their support for for beijing what do you make of all that. So it has now become a test of political will those kerry administration has got to go a strategy of no more concessions no more apologies are strong crackdown on the auto spurs and strong backing for the police. Is waiting for the Public Opinion hard to turn at the same time the protesters have got a google warfare kind of picks they want to come and say the kerry go amiss ration has lost its legitimacy and has increasingly laws is effectiveness he could be involved one of the trying this of on july 21st in new known in the New Territories and the strong backing of the Police Beating and by a good character and the situation probably pushed the crisis to a little level yeah i want to ask a little bit more about the prodemocracy protesters because i think its fair to say theyve gotten a lot of sympathy from from the public outside of of hong kong or around the world but are they doing themselves any favors with some of the tactics that some of the have have deployed in that big of the clashes with police and there was the seizure of the Parliament Building last month as well does all of this work in their favor. It is fortune made that at least up until known Public Opinion and international Public Opinion has been on the side of the prodemocracy movement that the months are very clear but at the same time the protests are participate mainly by probably tens of thousands of angry young people they have no organization they have no leaders and it is extremely difficult to negotiate with them and therefore it is a certain deadlock and even if even if the government is willing to step down and gates and you know god know it is extremely difficult to explore to see how a practice form can be established. Good to speak with you joseph chang in hong kong thank you. Oh plenty more ahead on this news hour find out whats at stake in the latest round of talks in qatar between the u. S. And the taliban. On the road with argentinas delivery workers who have plenty of jobs but no security. And a 1st for this formula one driver all the action from qualifying about hungary and grand prix coming up later. Police in moscow arrested more than 800 people before planned protests on saturday but that didnt stop others from taking to the streets there is anger over the exclusion of some opposition candidates in upcoming city elections saturdays demonstration follows a similar one last weekend imran khan reports from the russian kept. Me from the Police Operation designed to stop large numbers of protesters coming to central moscow did exactly that still some did manage to get through the detentions was swift so all throughout today theyve been arresting people like this they pick them up. And they take them into. A van where the idea is will be to. The protesters are normally take also police to them to register journalists were also detained but released almost immediately once they showed proper accreditation protesters a worry the upcoming last go City Council Elections are being rigged in favor of the governing party united russia most of the opposition candidates have been arrested but one who is at the protest said the numbers will load because the authorities are cracking down. Everything depends on how people will react so far there are not many of us many people are unhappy with united russia and support is the lowest since 2006 but people are scared of coming to the streets or taking party rallies half a 1000000. The streets. Despite the crackdown the protestors that did make it were hopeful change might come down most dont mean yes im here because i have a conscience i dont like a lot of things that are happening in this country im happy that the young generation woke up and want to have their voices heard i am here because candidates werent allowed to run im against banning of alice im against the crackdown and i think protest is the only way to show your Opinion Police say the protest was illegal and detentions were low and opposition Monitoring Group says the numbers were you much higher than the police who claim its not clear whats next for russias protest movement but the authorities are hoping the show of force has stopped a completely immoral cause how does a moscow. Is a professor of International Relations at the London School of economics she says russias government is using the same strategies it is used in the past to crackdown on protests. I think it could certainly backfire and in some ways this is a very clever strategy that the regime is using and has used in the past of provoking violence as a way to diligent to my eyes peaceful protest to make people feel who would otherwise not participate in acts of contention. That this is this is futile engaging in protest leads to violence chaos and disorder and thats a bad thing and this is certainly how the Russian Media up are trained probably just by way of leads to legitimize in the on the other hand we are seeing that its not deterring people and certainly people who will be watching these episodes would be very disturbed and another tactic that the regime has been using in the past is to penalize and many of these protesters by the way are School Age Children adolescents University Students so there have been in the past retributions in the form of dismissals from university and other harassment of course we know about arrests at sadr beatings but that doesnt seem to be having a deterrent effect perhaps even the opposite perhaps the reached a certain Tipping Point in how the russian public perceives the stakes that are involved here for 4 months after sudans president omar bashir was ousted the military join to an Opposition Coalition have reached a constitutional agreement but the deal is yet to be signed its expected to happen in the next few days it will lead to the formation of a Transitional Government to run sudan until elections are held in 2022 the Opposition Coalition say they will appoint the next interim Prime Minister. The cabinet will have no more than 20 ministers the freedom for change alliance will nominate the Prime Minister he will then be appointed by the Sovereign Council and the Prime Minister will then form a cabinet and that cabinet will need to be confirmed by the Sovereign Council and we spoke with sudanese people in khartoum as they await the signing of the declaration. Congratulations to all the sudanese people of the agreement meet the demands of the sudanese people who called for a civilian state alone but im only 50 percent happy because the final agreement is not sign yet. Ok ok well it is a good step forward people have to be patient. But i have not seen a signed agreement yet but the youth are not just looking for celebrations we want to rebuild the whole state. Everything will change will be no corruption it wont be like what weve seen during the past 30 years of the democratic republic of congo is racing to contain an outbreak of ebola in goma more people have been tested after 4 cases were confirmed in the densely populated city checks have been stepped up along the border with the to stop the spread of the virus 70 dec as more from the kept talking.
