B. I. Is investigating. We dont know the thoughts of the shooter at this time we know that he was wearing body armor and capacity magazines and its been its been a tough tough 6 months for our community. But you work through it and right now our focus is on the family. And friends frankly that went. Down town on saturday night. But they go home safe and they didnt happen well. The was in the u. S. This year the death toll is currently standing at 20 and a 21 year old white man is in Police Custody as rob reynolds ripple south from El Paso Texas police are investigating whether this was a hate crime. Heavily armed police move through a Shopping Center in El Paso Texas after a gunman opened fire in a crowded area. In other parts of the shoppers were held in place while people tried to work out what was happening. Right. There at a concert there and then there was what has become a common scene in the United States lines of people being led from the scene of another mass shooting. One on a day that would have been a normal day for someone to leisurely go shopping. Turned into one of the most deadly days in the history of texas. Lives were taken. Should still be with us today. 20 innocent people from el paso. Have lost their lives and more than 2 dozen more. Are injured. We as a state unite and support. Despite reports of multiple shooters police say only one man is in custody and will face charges that could if he is convicted lead to his execution but needless to say this scene is a riff it 100. 00 fortunately because of the nature of the situation the scene will be in play for a long period unfortunately to see school 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 other federal authorities right now were looking out for to ensure with capital murder charges for this individual he is a 21 year old white man who allegedly posted a racist rant online on an extremist website just an hour or so before the shooting at an emotional democratic president ial hopeful that oh all roark who is from el paso announced he was canceling further campaigning and heading back to his city and so i just ask for everyone strength for a pass on right now. Everyones resolved to make sure that this does not continue to happen in in this country u. S. President donald trump called the shooting an act of cowardice and promised the city and state any help the federal government could extend but democratic president ial candidates including orourke linked trump and his rhetoric to the shooting senator Bernie Sanders wrote on twitter we must reject this growing culture of bigotry espoused by trump and his allies the Shopping Center behind me is now the focus of an intense criminal investigation and as authorities gather the physical evidence theyll also be looking at the suspects activities on line trying to trace the roots of his rage rob reynolds Al Jazeera El paso. Well lets go live to another rock correspondence in the u. S. Alan fish is in washington d. C. Said almost 30 people we think alan killed in 2 separate attacks within the space of what 1514 hours. One thing you talk about 29 victims and one shooter certainly el paso was shocking people were out on a saturday morning they were going about their normal business they were preparing their children for the Upcoming School year they were buying clothes they were buying supplies they were out doing their weekly shop getting food in for the week ahead when suddenly a man walked into a walmart and started firing and by the time he was done 20 people were dead or dying certainly the hospitals and el paso are still treating those who suffered trauma in the incident late on saturday i know many people across america will be waking up to news of what happened in ohio i certainly did just after midnight their time there was a shooting in a very popular entertainment someone armed with a long gun wearing body armor with carrying a magazine that had the capacity to carry extra bullets walked into the area partly it was heading to a nightclub if the police hadnt got there in time the mayor believes who knows what death toll we could be talking about no but in the end it was 9 people that were shot dead there are 26 injured and of course the police say that they got there within a minute and were able to neutralize the shooter which is police shorthand for killing the man who had the gun and had killing on his mind and there are those already making the direct link between the kind of languages being used recently by President Trump and what looks very much at this stage to be a possible hate crime certainly carried out in el paso. Well the police the f. B. I. Are investigating whether or not this is a hate crime the man in el paso who was arrested a 21 year old it is alleged that he posted a screed on an extremist website which was very anti immigrant very violent in torn and that is something that the police are looking into as far as data is concerned no one has any idea at this stage that theyre making public about the motive for the shooting although we are told that the suspect is thought to be a white man but its always in the should incidents of this case better not to leap to assumptions and with until it is confirmed by police is this link to what donald trump has been saying all the people who pulled the triggers are the ones that are responsible for mass shooting but certainly the torrent and some of the phrases that he uses remember donald trump was a man who when confronted with nazis chanting slogans on american streets said there were good people on both sides that is for politicians to make that sort of judgment and certainly there are politicians in this country who are making that judgment and have done in the last couple of hours all right thanks for that alan fischer there live in washington d. C. Well theres been 13 Mass Shootings in the United States in this week alone the shooting in ohio with the 251st attack this year thats according to a u. S. Based group that monitors gun violence it defines a mass shooting as an incident where 4 or more people are shot or killed 270 people have been killed in such attacks this year despite those figures 219 looks to be better than last year thats when 368 people were killed in gun violence well ive been speaking to scott lucas is a professor of american studies at the university of birmingham in the u. K. And he blames donald trump for what happened in el paso. The suspect patrick cruz yes in the apostle shooting used rhetoric a 4 page manifesto which said that he was carrying out the sat because of the invasion of america by emigrants he said in words that echo those of donald trump used recently that those immigrants should go back to their countries i think we need to be honest and say that the man in the white house and other politicians when they carry out an anti migrant can language when they use language which can appear to target those who are of a different color or different religion they dont put the guns in the shooters hands but they provide the excuses for those guns to be used so its not enough just to simply condemn bigotry there needs to be responsible action by all politicians and if theyre not responsible then to be help they need to be called out as accomplices irans revolutionary guard say theyve seized a foreign all time here in the gulf which they accuse us smuggling feel to some arab states and this will be the 3rd season by iran in less than a month think our forces can go live now to our correspondent is in the iranian capital tehran jabari tell us more then about this season oh of another oil tanker. Well martin this is a vessel the revolutionary guards say they seized near farci island which is a military island in between iran and saudi arabia they say that they seized this vessel on wednesday when they found out that it was trying to smuggle 700000 liters of fuel they say that this vessel was heading to arab countries they didnt specify where it was going but they said that they seized it and it is now sitting in the port city of share along with the 7 crew members who have now been arrested in iran they say that the revolutionary guards carried out this seizure because they are trying to combat smugglers in the gulf and the strait of hormuz this is one of their missions and it is something the revolutionary guards have said that they are able and willing and to carry out that is the security and safety of the waters that surround iran this is yet another example they say that they are capable of patrolling these waters and keeping it safe and it is this is one of the reasons the revolutionary guards have said that any kind of Foreign Forces presence in the waters of the gulf is not necessary because they are present themselves and theyre able to guard these waters and another interesting line to come out of tehran today is news coming from the arabians at least of an interesting move that you made a priority by the white house yes we heard from the Government Spokesperson i leave out the earlier where he said that the foreign minister Mohammad Javad zarif was in when he was in new york in a mission to the United Nations earlier this month and he received an invitation from a senator to visit the white house this was an invitation that course the foreign minister turned down but lets hear some of what else he had to say. In. The u. S. Auction on foreign minister zarif is against all diplomatic procedures and is an unprecedented event in the history of diplomacy in that one government keep claiming to be ready for negotiations and then to put sanctions on the foreign minister of that country well isnt it ridiculous he was invited by a senator to have a meeting at the white house then they impose sanctions on him foreign minister zarif is responsible for Foreign Policy and the diplomatic path should pass through him this is. The Government Spokesperson also stressed that these sanctions that have been placed on the foreign minister are just another example that the americans are not really sincere in their quest to hold any kind of dialogue with the iranians the position here is that the iranian officials will not be engaging in any kind of talks with the american officials until these sanctions that the u. S. Government has imposed on iran since withdrawing from the 2015 Nuclear Agreement are all lifted that is the condition that they have they believe that these sanctions are really not helping the situation of course the foreign minister is tasked with holding any kind of dialogue with the International Community so these sanctions are seen as a step in the wrong direction if the u. S. Officials believe that by sanctioning Mohammad Javad zarif they will be able to hold talks with a higher level person they are mistaken because the foreign minister has had unequivocal support from the highest authority in the Islamic Republic that is the Supreme Leader ayatollah ali how many and the spokesperson today reiterated this position that not only does the foreign minister have the support of the Supreme Leader but also all the various military entities inside iran including the revolutionary guards have all expressed their support for the foreign minister on all the efforts hes done in trying to bring together this Nuclear Agreement which the americans have completely disregarded dosage of live in tehran thank you.

That are dans military jointer and the opposition of signed a deal on the constitutional declaration its an agreement that was reached through mediation 4 months after the long time president Omar Al Bashir was ousted the african unions envoy to sudan says the document outlines the division of power until elections can be held in 3 years prior democracy activists of welcomed the deal saying its the 1st step with more to follow. The priority during the transitional phase will be transparency and the investigation for all the crimes for the sake of justice in order to put on trial the perpetrators who killed our muscles we have to have peace because without peace we cant have democracy based on todays declaration the Transitional Government will be committed to finding justice for all. Dear honorable citizens today we turned a page a very difficult page in our countrys history that was full of conflict and fighting we agreed to move forward to build a new state in the transitional phase. Right here on set with me is mohammed a correspondent whos reported extensively from sudan and. Mohammed i was quite quite struck by the tone of the 1st bit of sound that we just heard from one of the representatives of the protestors of the. Civilian coalition and that was the emphasis upon justice do we really believe i mean that must be an integral part of this declaration constitutional declaration absolutely and its what people have been clamoring for during the protests chants of blood for blood we would not accept any compensation from the protests in the square and also throughout the time theyve been holding this process of the they were disposed to talking about the past injustices cutting out by the bush era g. M. Against people in darfur in the Nuba Mountains but also recent violence visited upon the protesters by the Rapid Support forces who have now been brought under the general command very interesting to see muhammad undone duggal himself a man being blamed for some of these crimes having initialed the agreement itself so this was. You know the opposition talking to people like him down there going to saying you will not escape us once we start the transition we will pursue people like you right and the cynics and the skeptics will will not believe that this military. Will be prepared to subject themselves to full accountability and justice however what are the other elements of this constitutional declaration because of course its not a new constitution is it. Right drafting a new constitution is part of the limits of the transition or 40 but that will be done towards the end of the transition you know there has to be the collection of views from the people of sudan and there has to be unanimity when it comes to the. Having a document that is going to be the foundation for the news done and the crowds its done that the people want but theres also the issue of creation of opportunities for the young people of sudan whove been missing out on opportunities in most of the past 30 years so its a mix of both you know trying to create the necessary and bottom and for elections once we get there after 3 years and a few months and also ensuring that the transition period is also a period where people see some real change in their lives and in their daily so it might be a Good Opportunity for us to reflect on the achievements of this is in these people it was december wasnt it last year when we 1st started to see those protests on the streets and to see now today well on their way it would ap
