Suspected of raping and killing a woman in hydroponics. And months off today ousted that long time president why algerians are protesting against next weeks election to replace him. Out in sport and that the josh was heading into his world title rematch leaner than avar a briton weighed in more than 20 kilograms lighter than his opponent and the police as they get ready to face off in saudi arabia. Oh a very warm welcome to news story a shooting at a u. S. Naval base in florida has left 4 people dead including the gunman u. S. Officials say the suspect is a member of the Saudi Air Force who was in the United States for military training. At least 8 people were injured at the Naval Air Station in pensacola the gunmans motive is not clear the base remain sealed off while investigators search for evidence u. S. President donald trump is saying saudi arabias king solomon telephoned him to send his condolences and sympathy to the victims. The king said that the sort of people are greatly angered by the actions of the shooter and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the saudi people who love the American People so much so that was just given to me by the king of saudi arabia and i can tell you its a horrible thing that took place and were getting to the bottom of it all of the investigators are there now and theyre studying it very closely. I think theres obviously going to be a lot of questions about you know this individual being a Foreign National being a part of the Saudi Air Force and then to be here training on our soil that to do this in the f. B. I. Is working with the dea theyre working with the f. B. O. Either working with the skin of your county sheriffs one of the things that i talked to the president about is given that this was a Foreign National in the employ of a Foreign Service is it will be time to do this but obviously the government of saudi arabia needs to to make make things better for these victims and i think that they theyre going to owe it dead here given that this is one of their individuals. I just want to bring you some breaking news developments also from florida a bomb threat has been reported at patrick at full space this on friday now the area has been evacuated and obviously authorities are aware of whats going on and they are conducting their investigations but we learned of this information from the base itself from the patrick affable space itself through a tweet which they sent out but obviously this will be alarming news because it comes swiftly on the heels of that shooting. At the pensacola Naval Air Station in which 4 people including common with the gunman were killed and then also 8 people are confirmed to have been injured lets get more on this now from mike hanna he is in washington for us 1st of all mike what do we know about this conversation between President Trump and the saudi king. Well President Trump said he had a phone call from the saudi king expressing deep regret at the sense events clearly the saudi king attempting to get ahead of the situation President Trump assisting him in doing so expression deep remorse and anger of the saudi people as the king put it at what he described as this barbaric act so certainly comes condolences from the king of saudi arabia mediately reported and tweeted out by the president this a depth and an indication of the sensitivity of the tragedy the fact that its a Saudi National training on a u. S. Aviation base certainly a great cause for concern and its for this reason that the f. B. I. Is heavily involved in this investigation its for this reason to that limited information is being given out by various officials in terms of exactly what happened which classroom the shooting happened in for example so certainly this investigation is going to be fairer as has been promised by the sheriff is in charge of the case together with the f. B. I. Now it will be somewhat disturbing that so soon after this shooting takes place that there is a bomb threat now reported at Patrick Air Force base i know weve just had this breaking news in in the last few minutes mike but obviously this will contribute to an atmosphere of some concern and you know obviously along with seeing a beefed up security presence in and around this area. Yes certainly well the details of whats happened that the Patrick Air Force base has no further details as to what you have just provided just that simple tweet coming out of the base but as you say there is that of concern following the shooting at pensacola this just adds to the general concern given once again the nature of the shooting at pensacola the questions arising whether or not it is a act of terror this is something that none of the officials will confirm is being investigated at this particular point but once you do have a Foreign National involved then certainly it is going to give rise to great concern followed as you point out immediately by this specified bomb scare which is reportedly taking place at a nearby air force base but just to reiterate to the base at which the shooting happened to disco is a massive facility had some 16000. 00 Permanent Military officials they are some 7000 civilians stationed at the base it is a part of a big city a part of the town and this adds to that sense of concern that sense of fear that would emerge from such a tragic incident happening in such a crowded place thank you very much in washington mike hanna bringing us the latest on now we turn to our developing story of the hour in iraq gunmen there of open fire from cars on antigovernment protesters in central baghdad killing at least 10 people more than 40 others were wounded in the shooting and Security Officials say 2 policemen are among the dead it came hours after u. S. State Department Officials said washington blacklisted 3 iran backed Iraqi Paramilitary leaders over that alleged role in the killings of protesters in the country lets cross to Simona Fulton his life for us now in baghdad as obviously some i know we have to be careful about drawing conclusions about the perpetrators its far too early to say who would have carried out such an attack but it was clearly targeted at people who were there too as part of the unfolding unrest in the past few weeks. Yes definitely it seems to have been a targeted attack what appears to have happened is that a number of cars civilian cars with gunmen wearing civilian clothing and without any insignia pulled up to one of the buildings near one of the bridges close to Tahrir Square which has been the epicenter of the demonstrations in baghdad and then opened fire killing at least 10 but were also getting reports that up to 15 protesters may have been killed during that attack with Dozens Injured so its possible that the number of dead will rise in the coming hours because were hearing that a lot of people were severely injured these gunmen then moved on to burn some of the tents and mattresses that were inside that building which protesters had used to camp out and then the violence moved in direction of Tahrir Square now one Security Source is telling us that iranian backed armed groups may be behind it at that but this is just one source and we cannot confirm this account of what is certain however is that this is an unusual escalation the violence we have seen so far has been as a result of antiriot Police Firing either tear gas canisters or using live ammunition against them mustard as we havent had this sort of attack of unknown gunmen opening fire to clearly target demonstrators in such a fashion now were also hearing that 3 members of the law which is an armed group led by should. Have been killed while trying to protect demonstrators this is according to the media office of milk that looks at a site or so this is an Interesting Development where you have one armed group trying to protect the demonstrators while they have another one attacking them and all of this comes at a time when a lot of demonstrators fear infiltration by different groups of different agendas trying to basically hijack these protests to pursue their own objectives so the situation remains very tense when we do hear that the violence has subsided over the past hour there is still some sounds of gunshots coming from the direction of Tahrir Square but the situation seems to have the escalated a little bit over the past hour thank you very much sooner fulton in the iraqi capital baghdad. People across india have been celebrating after police shot dead 4 men suspected of raping and killing a 27 year old woman in hyderabad theyve been taken back to the scene of the crime and police said they were killed when they tried to escape but while many have welcomed the controversial killings human rights organizations as saying they set a dangerous precedent and reports on this now from new delhi. Was flowers and messages to congratulate them its the kind of Welcome Police in india rarely receive but in Hyderabad Police are being praised for shooting 4 men accused of gang raping and murdering a 27 year old Veterinarian Dr last week Police Commanders say the accused were taken to the alleged crime scene to answer questions but try to escape one of the suspects is said to have snatched a policemans gone and opened fire on the older officers have been listening and are going to surrender but we dont know the country of the fire and who are dead or are are you know of one party in dallas and their families and the board i just want to the family of the murdered woman says justice has been delivered now they have to for their family and i think this will be an example and the women think of doing it. The protests were organized in several cities across the country to seek justice. Some parliamentarians have been speaking out one called for the lynching of rapists another advocated castration ideas with some with tims support. Shyne i was 23 when a man whose Marriage Proposal she had refused threw acid on her she supports the polices action and also demanded that all the culprits be hanged. When rapists get the Death Penalty then we will stop protesting rapists should be hanged. However some crime. Experts say Capital Punishment is not an effective deterrent the killing of the 4 accused has been broken by many here who continue to be frustrated at length the delays in the Justice System but several lawyers and womens rights activists say that justice must be delivered only by following proper legal procedures and they say that the stigma attached to rape victims that gives offenders much leave it is the real problem. Activists say the government must address the wider problem of prejudice against women in a mostly male dominated society the same persons who are asking for this kind of. Custodial killings and lynch lynchings and so on are actually the ones who are both standing up for perpetrating battery aki and perpetrating stewards women. The gang rape of a woman on a bus who later died of her injuries provoked massive protests and International Outrage 7 years ago indias government responded by passing a law with tougher penalties for repeats but experts say conviction rates havent risen and others think improved policing a fast track Justice System and attitude changes in society are all needed to reduce Sexual Violence against women throughout india. Aljazeera new delhi. Well earlier i spoke to rao whos a lawyer at the Delhi High Court and i started by asking her about the celebrations in india at the news police had shot the alleged rapists. I have to sadly concede that the Justice System and the judiciary there has been a loss of feet because they can be no other reason why people feel its justified to take the law into their own hands when most likely will use takes the law into their own hands and theyve got the wrong people simple family members was who was so shocked and in grief for them to react emotionally is not surprising but i mean probably they dont even nor that that the actual people who may have raped their family members are actually being protected by this saw yes certainly it shows that the common public has lost fear can the judicial system and i think that they learned that our high court should have immediately lee she added an inquiry and sort of for you know be ended norm that the judiciary is alive and well and we have a very robust judicial system but off leave its its taken a beating. This is very very are you suggesting that the government. Approves of vigilante justice or at least isnt willing to take action against it or to discourage it. Well and that have been several incidents of lynching and apart from lip service we havent seen any any people responsible for the lynching actually sort of for your not being brought to book by the law and sort of members of parliament have been giving complicated true statements sort of justifying it really was a t. V. Show and you know i have reaction as an equal and opposite reaction or that you know people get angry these things happen i mean. When when when our society our starts expressing its anger in a manner not permissible by law i think of very strong statement has to come from the government that this is not acceptable that is of rule of law in this country we are not a Banana Republic and people just cannot take the law into their own hands especially not Police Forces but that kind of strong statement hasnt come either from the government or the judiciary and i think its time that it must come because if this trend grows there i mean theres no saying where it will start and where it will end and then dieter if i can just ask you one more time will we ever know who the real perpetrators of this crime was one can only hope i think the real hope comes from the National Human Rights Commission which has on dribbler and rightly immediately taken cognizance and is going to check the sport and lets hope that this will bring accountability and transparency we we hope and pray that we see the real perpetrator does come to book.
