Do Something Like that but. Today the seems to be happening all over the place and so you just dont know who your neighbor really is certainly never expected to see. It like this happen in our Small Community where everybody is just friendly Loving Police say its still too early to speculate on patricks motive i know that you are all very eager to find out exactly what his motive was or what was going through his head or what he was doing up to two weeks ago i promise you the sheriff will provide. That information when we have confirmed it it doesnt make sense for us to put out information that is not accurate and isnt timely and reliable.

S. This of course thank you for joining us you know a gun control laws in nevada they are among the most permissive in the country is this more of a state issue as opposed to a federal. I think its a central issue that there is there is big issue about different states as there are regulations generally the west south. Relaxed gun. Policies that obviously. Are ops are trafficked across state lines and. The deeds to be some federal grip on this obama try these attempts to fill some of the gaps in the its to chip background check system that you get already at the straits policy change is now the u. K. Where you are tightened its Gun Legislation after two major massacres in the one nine hundred ninety s. One were sixteen children were gunned down in the scottish town of dunblane why do you think that there hasnt been this turning point in the u. S. I think it goes back to the american constitution the culture the idea the america has has a right to go puts through the Second Amendment but brought up today thats thats to do with the powerful four billion Strong National Rifle Association which is a very tight grip on the Republican Party in particular that along side got it District Attorney got a district marketing and i think that the whole hollywood cowboy culture has crew created a particular kind of bites that grips a particular demographic of the american masculinity and they are worried that if they give up their guns the in the last this is all to the urgency they will be at risk you mentioned some republican lawmakers are being influenced by those sentiments some of them are actually pushing to loosen restrictions on gun ownership with further legislation could we really see that happen i think weve seen it happen we saw it happen up there obama the idea that people take firearms it to National Parks the idea that an abbreviated this campuss that it hit the to be gun free zones would be considered to to be restored to allow students to carry guns on this campus as texas so that and other real pressure is it a number of states people to be allowed to carry their guns openly about solty states licensed other citizens to carry concealed weapon selves lets take that up or of a number of hard line.

Punching out. Rent agreements and other legal documents on a secondhand machine. She makes about five to six dollars a day just enough to make ends meet. Manual typewriters a really heavy they can get damaged we dont have to worry about electricity radius we dont need a printer or cables all we need is a machine and a table thats it. Typing is the only work shes ever trained for and shes not giving it up anytime soon. I love this type writer like my own its my only source of income i continue typing very and. But the end has a right for this iconic machine and typing has also become a dying skill as india pushes to modernize and digitize its economy there ever fewer takers for the antiquated technology. Upside down as a result shops like roger us on the decline his family has been selling typewriters since the one nine hundred thirty s. In delhi faced with stiff competition from computers has been forced to reinvent its business restoring and typewriters like these quite some time i was feeling depressed losing the end of the grid.

And thats all from a civil right thank you karen were turning on now to that story we brought you a bit earlier the European Parliament voting on a resolution today that would put the brakes on any plans to push ahead with the next round of negotiations because not enough progress has been made well they dont use max hoffman a standing by at the European Parliament in strasbourg where that vote is taking place hi max how damaging is this for braggs the talks going forward. Well they just passed that resolution with overwhelming majority so this is it more reflects the state of play at the moment that it shows you that the way its been going up until now cannot continue if you want some kind of deal at the end because the European Parliament is important in this they will get to say yea or nay to a possible deal at the end to show their dissatisfaction in such a strong way just so as you well basically what a mess this whole negotiation process is at the moment why is it such a mess max that what are the differences that are getting in the way and why have a negotiator has been able to resolve that. Well of course youll get a different perspective from the u. K. Itself that here on the continent everybody is pretty clear that the u. K. Has not been clear in its goals it has not been clear in what how its supposed to address those three important points for the e. U. Meaning the border with Northern Ireland and ireland the braggs of bill and also the rights of e. U. Citizens in the u. K. And all that needs to be resolved before moving on to the next phase which would define the future relationship between the u. K. And the e. U. Hoffman standing by for us in strasbourg where the European Parliament has voted today max thank you very much now the twenty seventh anniversary of german reunification is being celebrated in cities across the country today the city of might as host of this years made event and germanys president don meyer and chance wrong americal among senior politicians in attendance at the famous together we are germany this years day of german unity comes just after a general election that revealed the differences that continue to split the east and the west of the country. And our chief Political Correspondent linda crane is out those celebrations and minds to choices for more high melinda so how together is the germany a twenty seven years after unification. Well economically and materially east and west are closer than they have been at any point since unification on many indicators like unemployment the two are pretty much at the same level though productivity and g. D. P. Do lag behind in the east but the perhaps Biggest Barriers are not visible ones not material ones but the barriers that are in peoples minds as a recent survey puts it it shows that a large majority of germans in both east and west feel theres still a kind of a berlin wall in peoples minds and certainly that was evident in the recent Election Results as you remember the far right a f d a party the alternative for germany took twelve point six percent of the vote nationally overall but it took over twenty seven percent in some parts of the east and came in first before the mainstream parties so there clearly is a sense in many parts of the east that people are dropping behind that they simply cant catch up no matter what they do that feeds frustration that feeds discontent and that feeds this protest vote for a right wing party. Americal is attending a ceremony today in the building behind you are these divisions that still exist going to be a topic there. Absolutely they are the german president is speaking at the moment hes talking about the fact that division and polarization threaten democracy itself and hes been talking about his travels through the country where he hears from people in with the west and in the east that they sometimes dont recognize their country anymore that they dont feel at home anymore and he said that is not only about immigration its about a sense that after twenty five years of constant change that is absolutely what people in the east have seen of shops and workplaces and churches shutting down of young people moving away that many people have a sense that somehow they dont recognize their own lives that they dont feel secure that they dont feel that they can trust the future and all of that he says breeds this kind of division and so hes calling on people to do a much greater job at understanding at each other and at fighting mistrust both of the others and and of the government and mainstream parties are due to these chief Political Correspondent and a crane at the celebrations in mind for germanys reunification melinda thank you very much.

S. Musician and songwriter tom petty has died after suffering a heart attack in california he was rushed to the hospital after being found unconscious at his malibu home the sixty six year old is best known as the lead singer of the rock band tom petty and the heartbreakers which recorded a number of hits in the one nine hundred seventy s. Then the one nine hundred eighty s. And we have Marcus Miller from arts and culture desk here to talk more about this high mark what made tom petty so special well he was the master of the power pole code and he used it to punctuate against it pretty pithy lyrics from time to time he could also penned really quite sensitive very catchy pop tunes that had a way of staying in your head for example i went back down one of his biggest hits which i think we have a clip to show you. Mark those are not only tunes but also lyrics that stay with you and what with the inspiration for his songwriting when he talked a bit about his songwriting and he described it as a magical process he didnt like to tie it down too much or express explain or express exactly how he came to write his songs he described how did sit down with his guitar and it would just emerge and he said its probably best not to try and tie it down but lyrically as you suggest he took inspiration from the media and what was happening around him he wrote of a song called jam in me with bob dylan and he literally said or wrote down what was coming out of the television and in the newspapers at the time and he also collaborated with other musicians he did indeed i mean sharp our viewers would have noticed in that video that we just played George Harrison was there strumming a guitar behind him and there was a ring go start to beatles and his backing band. As well as collaborating with George Harrison and jeff lynne and roy orbison in the traveling wilburys he also cowrote with dave stewart from the arithmetics dont come around here no more which was a big hit for him i mean its a testament of his ability as a great artist really to share and and collaborate and work with others to create the kind of music that he did right celebrating today the legacy of tom petty after he has died at the age of sixty six harry Marcus Miller from arts and culture desk thank you very much for joining us.
