Indias police are called heroes after they kill 4 men suspected of gang rape and murder in a case thats nationwide outrage. And theyre calling it the mega fly at several australian bush fires are so widespread Authorities Say they cannot be contained. We begin with a shooting inside a classroom at a u. S. Naval base in florida which has left 4 people dead including the gunman u. S. Officials say the suspect is a Saudi National who was in the u. S. For training at least 8 others were injured at the Naval Air Station in pensacola florida military Officials Say the suspect was unhappy with his commanders and was receiving counseling u. S. President donald trump says hes been contacted by the saudi leader who has condemned the shooting. Thinking he said that the saudi people have made. Angered by the vote american actions and the shooter and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the so many 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 well lets bring in mike hanna who is live from washington d. C. Mark so we honest on floridas governor has been talking to President Trump about that shooting what more is he been saying yes indeed the governor was very quickly on the scene expressed deep concern at the situation and deep true tragedy at the situation as well he pointed out that the pentagon unable pot is an integral part of that community and the attack on the base would have a massive impact on the 10s of thousands that live in neighborhoods surrounding that particular base he also raised the question off the Saudi National being the gunman and ask whether its possible that reparations might have to be made by the saudi state 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 and the f. B. I. Is working with the dea theyre working with the f. B. O. Either working with the skimpy a 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 an o. B. 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 a debt here given that this is one of their individuals and mike this is clearly a very sensitive case because of the relationship between saudi arabia and the u. S. But what more details are emerging about the shooting itself and the Police InvestigationGoing Forward. Well the f. B. I. Are now investigating exactly what the motive is there have been reports that the officer concerned was receiving counseling that he was dissatisfied with the superior officers but what the f. B. I. Points out as well is that all of those cadets who are taken in training on this particular case particularly the Foreign Nationals vetted by several federal agencies within the u. S. And one of the questions being asked is how did this particular individual be able to get through the vetting process the other question being asked by investigators is how did he get a handgun weapons are banned at this particular base particularly among the students so certainly there are many questions that investigators are looking at but principle among them is to remove any possibility that this was indeed a terror attack investigators will not comment on a motive at this particular point but this is one of the issues that they will be looking at in the days ahead that californias governor saying that this is an investigation that could take a long period of time or to my kind of there in washington d. C. Mike thank you lets bring in our salon if the car is a senior fellow at Georgetown University and a human rights lawyer he joins us via skype from washington d. C. Also on President Trump says the shooting is a horrible thing but he has an extremely tight relationship with the saudis so what sort of diplomatic impact is this likely to have then between the 2 countries and how sensitive is it. Well there are no to be honest yeah i think that its going to have very little diplomatic compact between the United States and saudi arabia i mean the trumps the very hate relationship with both king solomon and crown prince a month better known as m. P. s i think the bigger impact is going to be on. Islamophobia here in the United States youre already seeing many right wing conservative republican lawmakers both in florida and nationwide holding this an act of terrorism when we see these sorts of same and shootings happening on a daily according to the gun violence are december 1st and this year theres actually been more Mass Shootings in the United States and there have been days theres been 380. 00 match meetings and 335. 00 days just yesterday a day before the pensacola shooting there was a national being in proper order in an old way but since that is not a muslim that was called an act terrorism so my concern is more so there it is with you know this being used as a political football by many right wing because code that it is obvious that will magically. Floridas governor says theres obviously going to have a questions asked about the shooter we know hes a Foreign National hes part of the Saudi Air Force and obviously he was training on u. S. Soil what sort of questions then will the shooting itself throw up do you think. Well i think the main question out for him out from a logistical standpoint there is obviously going to be in terms of to ensure that you know most people who enter military installations in the United States their names are run against f. B. I. Criminal databases probably for Foreign Nationals against interpol criminal that it be but unless you have a criminal record unless you know outstanding warrants are talent youre probably not going to show up and you know somebody who served in the armed forces of a foreign nation probably did not have any sort of criminal record notice or not on an inner all or an f. B. I. Database. Also and i want to pick up on something you mentioned earlier because one congressional representative in florida says this indeed is a terrorist incident and not just Workplace Violence but fall into the trainees have been studying in pensacola that we know for a decade so is anything likely to change do you think. The short answer is no i think that the long answer is trying to understand you know how things are frankly and the United States in the media we see these sorts of National Teams according to a 21000 university of alabama study handing out and. When you Mass Shootings committed by you must receive 300 injured 7 percent more Media Coverage than a mass shooting committed by anonymous and oftentimes when he actually is committed by people who are not most of the terms here isnt. Even. The discussion but again anytime there is an arab or a muslim who commits a mass shooting the terms here isnt the framing of caring for look in the new year i am or anything that is what is the most disconcerting think theyre all right to ask them if the car there from Georgetown University thank you very much indeed for talking to hodges there my pleasure. To baghdad now where a gunman has killed at least 10 people in iraqs capital the shooting happened near a protest site in Killarney Square in central baghdad it comes on a day when iraqs top shia cleric called for a new Prime Minister to be chosen without foreign interference and the u. S. Imposed sanctions on 4 iraqis over human rights abuses and corruption the sanctions target people linked with iran backed militia groups. Or some other folding is in baghdad and says the incident is an unusual escalation of the violence. It seems to have been a targeted attack what appears to have happened is that a number of cars civilian cars with gunman 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 of up to 15 protesters may have been killed during that attack with Dozens Injured so its possible that the number of that 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 tension 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 this attack but this is just one truth and we cannot confirm this account what is certain however is it 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 the monsters 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 shared. Have been killed while trying to protect their most traders this is according to the media office of milk that looks at a starter 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 with 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. There are still some found of gunshots coming from the direction of Tahrir Square but the situation seems to have the escalating a little bit over the past hour but lets bring in feisal istra body hes from Indiana University is also a former iraq ambassador and joins us via skype from bloomington indiana final good to have you back on the program look i mean the violence weve seen so far is between the Security Forces and the protesters now it appears protesters being targeted by other groups out significant is this do you think what we have seen the. Sort of. Armed militia of being involved in the past targeting most of thats what thats the thats whats happening its not unique it has happened before although there have also been reports as you mentioned of security. Forces being involved this seems to be a significant escalation not because its the worst single day of violence by the clause in part it comes from the same day that the grand ayatollah has the stand he issued his Statement Today about peaceable demonstrators and the obligation of the Security Forces to protect not peaceable demonstrators as well as telling the demonstrators that they must remain peaceful and it looks like its an effort by a police some in the Political Class to disperse the demonstration so that they can make some cosmetic changes and keep doing business as usual thats my fear final some sources suggest there are a verizon groups backed by iran who have their own agendas i mean if its true why would they want to hijack the protest movement do you think. Well the iranians remember had their own protests them so they cant be looking at these demonstrations with any degree of saying when it is. The. Sectarian dispensation in iraq with those 2003 settlements suits iran to achieve that is precisely what these demonstrators are rejecting. And i think iran hasnt a real interest in the ensuring that genuine political reform does not come to iran and thats an interesting point you make files about iran because as you say the shootings follow a call by irans top chef eric for a new Prime Minister to be chosen without foreign interference is this a reference to iran and its influence inside iraq in the 1st instance yes officially of course the grand ayatollah lock and say a sistani can say the also means the United States but it is the head of the footscray game iranian Major GeneralDostum Soleimani who has been much of the last weekend but out of meeting with various groups on the issue of the next Prime Minister of iraq so it seems to me very clear although the generals have the statement of general the meaning the intent of it is to say to iran this is an iraqi issue stay on the final just a final thought from you weve seen the Iraqi Parliament accept the resignation of the iraqi Prime Minister whats your assessment now of the Political LandscapeGoing Forward. The problem we have in iraq is that there is a real deadlock in parliament amongst the Parliamentary Party which is why we ended up with the current Prime Minister the outgoing Prime Minister in the 1st place about a year ago it was a compromise candidate he was brought out of retirement he had not been in politics for nearly a decade he had no Political Party in parliament that same dead law that led to him being chosen still exists they dont see that that law being broken im afraid any time soon im afraid were in for a period of the more uncertainty and chaos and thats never a good thing in iraq. Again thank you for the pleasure thank you.

Indian police have shot dead 4 men suspected of raping and killing a 27 year old woman in the Southern State of telangana and he said they were killed when they tried to escape but while many in india have welcomed the controversial killing activists have described the incident as a dangerous precedent for reports now from new delhi. Flowers and messages to congratulate them its the kind of Welcome Police in india rarely receive but in Hyderabad Police are being praised the shooting for 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 one dollar officers. And ask them to surrender but we dont just need to come to the fire and i. Saw. You know people started. Their games in the water i just want. The family of the murdered woman says justice has been delivered and i feel they have to live and i think this will be an example and no one even think of doing it. Protests were organized in several cities across the country to seek justice. Parliamentarians have been speaking out. One called for the lynching of rapists another advocated castration ideas with some with tims support. China was 23 when a man whose Marriage Proposal she had refused threw acid on her she supports the polices action and also demanded that other 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 poor. By many here who continue to be frustrated at 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. That gives offend as 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. And perpetrating stewards women. The gang
