Bulges there is adrian brown sent us this is says spent of the days demonstrations in hong kong. What we got today was a flavor a reminder of what this protest movement was like when it began 6 months ago powerful peaceful and thats the way it largely was on sunday there was a little bit of vandalism a few mainland banks and shops were attacked by a radical fringe of this protest movement but we shouldnt get the impression that this was like previous protest which of often ended in Serious Violence this was largely peaceful as you can see behind me the center of hong kong is basically back to normal if the police are now cleared away the last of the barricades of protesters who have disappeared into the night now the organizers of this march say that this was the last chance for the chief executive of hong kong to see to their demands remember there are not just figure versus suffrage but also an independent commission of inquiry into what they say are Police Actions during the past 6 months but we thought of course on sunday was a further reminder that the voice of protest in hong kong is far from diminished the head of the f. B. I. Inquiry into a shooting at a United States naval base in florida says that theyre working on the presumption that the attack was an act of terrorism Saudi National mohammed say that shot dead 3 students at the pensacola Nations School on friday the f. B. I. Says that they believe the act that alone 10 of the gunmans fellow trainees was saudi citizens are being questioned in connection with the attack we are as we do in most active shooter investigations work with the presumption that this was an act of terrorism this allows us to take advantage of investigative techniques that can help us more quickly identify and then eliminate any additional potential threats to the rest of our community as we have stated multiple times. Our investigation has not led us to any information that indicates any credible threat to our community lets go live now to mike hanna in washington d. C. Whos been following developments on this story so mike how significant are the f. B. I. s comments weve just heard about that basically theres a presumption of terrorism well what the Bureau Spokesman was outlining there is the protocol involved in active shooting incidents where the f. B. I. Would have always treated as an act of terrorism until proven otherwise this to enforce all its investigative procedures to move far more quickly and to make absolutely certain that there is no follow up attack to any original one so that is not the f. B. I. Saying that it was not an act of terror it is saying that this is the assumption that we work on until we find otherwise the investigation is still ongoing the f. B. I. Making very clear it is not yet determined exactly what the motive off the gunman was it points out how ever that a number of his colleagues who were with him on that aviation course at the u. S. Base have been restricted to base while these investigations are ongoing making clear to that that was at the order of the saudi commandment in of the base area so once again we have here an active Ongoing Investigation the f. B. I. Still not certain what motivated the attack however the republican congressman was absolutely certain for florida was absolutely certain what this attack was he described it as a premeditated act of terrorism and he insisted that no saudi student should be allowed into the u. S. To take part in training at any base until this investigation is concluded. We need to have a review of this program and its my belief that as secretary asper is looking at the Record Keeping the accounting for the Saudi Nationals that are in our country the continuous observance and monitoring of their activities to ensure that there is not radicalization while thats going on we should pause this program we should not be taking new incoming saudi students until we are absolutely confident in our vetting process so it can be useful its the new us congressman mike does it change the dynamic the fact that we are talking about a national does it make it more sensitive for the u. S. Well very sensitive indeed given the fact that in the 911. 00 attacks one will remember that the majority of those who carried out that is the tax were in fact Saudi Nationals so the American Public knowledge confronting once again an attack by a Saudi National on u. S. Soil this was one of the reasons why the Saudi Arabian reaction was so quick in the wake of the shooting king solomon making a direct call to President Trump to express his nations condolences and to express his revulsion at the action being carried out by that Saudi National normally it would be the crown prince make such contacts so clearly saudi arabia well aware of the sensitivity of the situation trying to get out ahead of it but still in among the public very much a concern a worry in particular that there were a number of other Saudi Nationals at that Training Camp and also further reports that at least one of them filmed the attack as its taken place so many questions for the American Public and deep concern for saudi arabia as to its ongoing relations with the u. S. Absolutely no youll be monitoring developments on the story for us for the moment mike hanna in washington thank you.

Its the final push to the finish line with just days to go before the election the Party Leaders are rallying for every vote some appeared on the u. K. s main political programs including Prime Minister Boris Johnson he appealed to voters who want to leave the e. U. Promising to get bags it done and lower immigration what we want to do is bed down on migration particularly unskilled workers who have no job to come to and i think thats whats happened over the last couple of decades or more youve seen quite a large number of people coming in from the the whole of the e. U. 580000000. In a population able to treat the u. K. Is that its basically part of their own country and the problem with that is theres been no control at all but critics say by using the skill points based immigration model johnson describes migration will actually increase something brags that voters dont want. Support for the main Opposition Labor Party has steadily increased Jeremy Corbin his decision to remain neutral and brags it is likely to cost him seats in leave constituencies and longstanding accusations of antisemitism within the party have also had a negative effect weve done everything i think we can possibly do are apologize to the Jewish Community for the suffering weve inflicted on them on the site of the were doing Everything Possible were going to learn more lessons and we want to be the show me an example of anti racism that the labor party should be in and squeezed between the 2 main parties is joe swinson of the liberal democrats her Party Strategy has shifted from trying to get to 10 downing street to taking seats away from Boris Johnson a point of voting liberal democrat is to have more lib dems pays who will work to stop breaks and invariably has failed labor he wont miss a meal and in very many parts of the country its liberal democrats who are taking on the conservatives and whether. Those labor minded voters decided to back the liberal democrats in lots of seats will help to determine whether or not Boris Johnson has a majority the latest polls suggest the conservatives could secure a majority but the polls got it wrong when it came to the e. U. Referendum as well as predicting that series some may would win a majority in the 2017 election if there is a Hung Parliament Boris Johnson will face a challenge trying to find partners to prop him up as well Jeremy Corbin the liberal democrats have refused to partner with either leader the political quagmire could throw britains future in the e. U. Into further doubts catherine stansell and sara london well joining us now is political polling expert joe twyman also cofounder of the Polling Company u. K. Mr twyman thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera so this is being called the brics it election from the polling at does it really suggest that breaks it is the main topic or what do you think or what else do you think people will be thinking about as they go and cast their vote well if youre all people will so most important issue facing the country at the moment brooks it does come top but if you say you will see most important issue facing you and your family its health that comes talk of that particular list and really its been a mixture of the 2 subjects that has dominated a lot of the debate throughout the Election Campaign weve seen a big emphasis on from the conservatives on getting bricks it done that has been in focus but labor has tried to move the attention away from bricks it as a subject to more towards general domestic issues and of course one of those the mystic issues would be immigration that weve seen the Prime Minister Boris Johnson mention again on sunday today what does that do to the polling figures does it have an impact or and perhaps not as much as they hope. Oh well well have to wait and see but theyre only a few days days remaining so far the discussions throughout the Election Campaign have not had a major impact on the position of the parties or indeed their share of the vote labor has slowly and steadily increase that show vote by by 5 percent but nothing like the kind of numbers we saw back in 2017 and the conservatives have fluctuated around a bit but have been consistently 1012 points ahead of labor and so its concern all the way through its looked good for good for them and a no poll during the campaign has had labor closer than 6 points to the conservatives and of course as we heard in that report by catherine stansell just before we started speaking polls have got it wrong before they mislead for the referendum and then teresa mayes you know when she didnt win that the majority that she wanted back in 2017 how has the art of polling if we can call it back changed since those i guess mistakes or certainly wrong predictions were made well 10 days out from the 2017 general election i went on a number of t. V. Channels to talk about the poll that i was involved in tha
