The suspect i can tell you that we know now that he fired off and on for somewhere between nine and eleven minutes we know that the suspect fired over a dozen or so volleys and we know that the firing by the suspect ceased at ten nineteen so way to think about that the minute the first minute the police are aware of shots being fired at ten oclock ten zero eight and it stops at ten nineteen thats a remarkable response by this Police Department there were two cameras located in the hallway so that the suspect could watch as well enforcement or security approached his room and there was another camera placed inside the Hotel Room Door people so that he could see down the hallway. Quite extraordinary andy what we have been learning how the people who live in las vegas been reacting to whats happened whats the mood like in the city. Well again here its eerily quiet this is the entertainment capital of the United States all around the streets a completely deserted there are police cars blocking off the streets around the Mandalay Bay Hotel there is still blood on the sidewalk here below my feet still shoes scattered around from where the concert goers try to escape but i think the people of las vegas very thankful for their Police Department and the actions they took think about well the undersheriff just said he was talking about the time from the first shots being fired to the swat team getting into the hotel room it was an extremely efficient operation and they potentially saved hundreds of lives of course president will be here on wednesday we presume hell be visiting the many hospitals that took the victims but obviously this city is still in a place of very very deep mourning thank you very much for that. For a scene. When i made the chaos and horror of the shooting there were also scenes of hope and heroism. On that part of the story. Night stoned and grieving people in las vegas gathered to pray for the victims of sunday nights murderous rampage candlelight vigils were held at city hall and at places of worship we should learn something from them and just think its all coming together and just knowing one of the former President Donald Trump is due to visit las vegas on wednesday with a message of consolation he declined to labeled a mass shooting as domestic terrorism and said it wasnt time to talk about stricter gun laws. Trump also declared without citing any evidence that the killer sixty four year old Stephen Paddick was mentally unbalanced thank. All accounts haddock meticulously planned his deadly killing spree police found twenty three rifles in his hotel room and nineteen more at his home north of las vegas but investigators are still stumped as to his motive i cant get into the mind of a psychopath and many people here are turning their thoughts away from the killer and his motives and towards those who stepped forward as the bullets rained down they praise doctors and nurses whose hard work saved many lives and they praised heroes like Jonathan Smith a thirty year old who saved dozens of people by leading them out of harms way but then was shot in the neck doctors say hell likely carry the bullet in his body for the rest of his life it will take this city a long time to recover but people are ready to begin that process with some far less. What we can do as a city lets join together and Work Together to for the good amid all the shock and pain death and heartbreak people here are finding strength in each other rob reynolds aljazeera las vegas. In other world news spains king has intervened in the crisis over cast i know youre describing sundays secession referendum as illegal and undemocratic in a rare public address he accused regional authorities of dividing society and putting the economy at risk earlier hundreds of thousands of demonstrators against a violent security crackdown during the vote. Reports from barcelona. If the Spanish Government thought breaking up the referendum would win the war with catalonia its been proved already quite wrong this crowd gathered outside the office of the ruling Spanish Popular Party denounced the Prime Minister as a fascist and the Police Action on sunday as brutal and theyre. The people who are defending what they have to defend the people are ready we will see if the government is ready this week. The what if the riot squads reviled within the region were nowhere to be seen the protests were policed by local catalan officers the firefighters seen here as heroes received ovations every time they arrived. At the University Square the crowds were even bigger thousands up every side road was much bitterness here about the perceived silence from the European Union after what happened on sunday. But on tuesday night the spanish king addressed the nation in a call for unity but slammed the referendum as illegal dos i want you the best youre going to. We have all been witnesses to what has been happening in catalonia with the ultimate aim on the part. Of declaring illegally independence for catalonia this will have little effect on the largely republican catalans and there is still nothing from the spanish Prime Minister who has no interest in engaging the catalans of political mediation for madrid this is strictly a legal issue. That means the call from the capital a president for talks is likely to get nowhere and the clock ticks. Away on the south declared timeframe of independence this week that is a crisis for spain and for the European Union and nobody seems to want to grasp the need you see of it. But a few hundred meters away from the protest the streets were quiet and many who dont want spain broken up have been getting on with their lives but they arent the ones making all the noise the momentum so far remains with the session is this is the politics of brinkmanship with everyone waiting to see who will be the first to back down. Barcelona while an overwhelming majority of those are voted on sunday were in favor of breaking away from spain figures show that fewer than half of all registered voters cast a ballot this coming week will be critical in what is already spains worst political crisis since the end of the franco dictatorship in one nine hundred seventy five campana has more from barcelona. This is a warning from cattle and unions to madrid that they can cripple spains biggest regional economy. And maintaining pressure for secession diverse labor and political factions also with each other the right to shape their plan the public is the only or the right of the president theres little doubt whats all cotland sectors are doing is putting their pieces on the chess board how you play this piece is going to give you an advantage or not so a general strike is important to introduce working class values into the process in addition to applying pressure on the Central Government in. Catalonia as government agree to call a Plenary Session of the capital and Parliament Within forty eight hours of a yes vote to declare independence political sources say that could begin as soon as wednesday or slate is next week ante secession parties make what we call a meeting millions of people went to the polls despite the state and Police Violence and millions of people voted and the outcome was a clear massive yes for the catalan republic so we have to obey the mandate of the people we had already stated we had already discussed and approved in parliament it was a binding vote so now we got to deliver. Friday oct sixth is a symbolic day with some sources suggesting this is when catalonia may declare independence on that date in one nine hundred thirty four. Pints declared catalonia an independent republic but the rebellion was short lived and compliance was arrested. Madrid ruled the referendum illegal catalan officials remain defiant under article one five five even a Majority Senate vote the Central Government could take control of all catalonia economic and Political Affairs that would block the breakaway. This article could be invoked because there is Regional Government only recognizes its own laws the artista being the verdict of the Supreme Court and the spanish constitution weve never had a situation where Regional Government wants a session the European Union views the political turmoil as an internal spanish affair and has expressed no intention to mediate suggestions for a political solution range from reform of the constitution to creating a more federal system. Barcelona spain john. Director of the Iberian Studies Program at Stanford University he warns that the crisis over. Could escalate rapidly. It does look like spain will almost immediately very very soon invoke article one fifty five of the constitution that is it will suspend the government selfgovernment and anything can happen at that point depending on peoples reaction but it does seem from what weve seen in todays fear in barcelona and throughout come money and the people are not likely to lead their their position their votes be stolen now by the by the Spanish Government invoking that article and shutting down their institutions. Could there be violence. Lets hope not but it is not to be ruled out i have news now that some people are being called some army members are being called to their headquarters so the our nations to be a little bit of some kind of preparations in the army. And to the way the invocation of external mediation that is not my my invention i have not proposed these that got a limb president s proposal the e. U. Is refusing to take that role as of now. We dont know things can change very rapidly but i should also point out that that among his not called specifically on the European Union to mediate is called on any international mediators. Everybody is now mystified as to what will happen next and its very hard to predict. The number of people confirmed dead in the u. S. Territory of puerto rico due to Hurricane Maria has risen to thirty four present donald trump visited the island on tuesday two weeks after the hurricane struck he says puerto ricos massive debt will have to be wiped out early this year the biggest bankruptcy in u. S. Municipal history with its debt load amounting to seventy two billion dollars. Its clear that donald trump has made up his mind about the success of his administrations relief efforts in puerto rico during a selfcongratulatory and then shortly after landing the president praised the military to local officials and members of his cabinet for the Emergency Response suggested that the crisis in puerto rico wasnt as bad as the aftermath of other hurricane disaster if you look at a real catastrophe like katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died. And you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally overpowering nobodys ever seen anything like this after landing the president did shake hands with the mayor of san juan who strongly criticized the administrations response is too slow she was reported to have said as they shook hands its not about politics its not clear what the president s response was youll see mccann is a u. S. Army veteran this is his response to the president s comments i think that we definitely cost a lot of money to the states but they also have to think about how many soldiers we lost how many lives we lost three percent of the United States so theyve given us a lot of money but weve been given a lot of lives others didnt take Donald Trumps comments too seriously he is the way he is i guess but. Progress is being made according to the governor petrol stations banks and supermarkets are reopening telecommunications have been restored to forty percent of customers and truck capacity at the port is back to sixty percent of normal but fifty five percent of the population is still without Running Water ninety five percent are without electricity and despite the president s words no audit is complete of those who died Community Groups say there are still areas untouched by government help the president satisfaction with relief efforts is more evidence of the disconnect between the white house and this u. S. Territory has long been a belief here among the three and a half million u. S. Citizens and puerto rico that theyre not listened to in washington they call even a vote after all and now there are a very real concerns they wont be listened to as reconstruction begins she had zero sound one when hurricane mathew hate seven haiti a year ago hundreds of people lost their lives and ninety percent of the area was devastated. Brains with more on the rebuilding efforts. Haiti the poorest country in the region lives a precarious existence often rebuilding from the previous Natural Disaster when a new one strikes hurrican matthieu struck the southwest of the country killing more than six hundred people devastating ninety percent of all properties and causing two billion dollars worth of damage Something Like twenty percent of the countrys g. D. P. Roads were impassable bridges were destroyed it often took rescuers days to reach the stricken area many of those regions now have been rebuilt roofs have been replaced the bridges have been replaced but the government relying mostly on foreign aid says theres still more needs to be dumb the recent spate of hurricanes that hit the caribbean mostly bypassed haiti and for that there was a huge collective sigh of relief but the people here know that the next one is just around the corner but they wont be reading and there will be massive devastation. Plenty more ahead on the news hour including warnings for pakistan and its Intelligence Agency from the pentagon chief and americas top military officer plus frances panamint approves i new controversial antiterrorism. And ten is turn around for the world number one. Surprise a scare in his first match since winning the u. S. Open details coming up in sports later with. Our military base in indian administered kashmir has been attacked by separatists fighters one officer and three fighters were killed at pakistan base cool has claimed responsibility smith has more. Kashmiri separatist fighters were holed up in this Border Security force building after managing to get into the camp before dawn on choose day Indian Police say they were well armed with guns and grenades. The attack happened at four in the morning we were sleeping and suddenly we heard the gunfire and explosions and later found out that militants have stormed the Border Security force. One border guard officer was killed and three others wounded in the attack which lasted ten hours. Three fighters were killed. A group called Jaish E Mohammad which once pakistan to have control over all of kashmir said it carried out the attack on the Border Security forces they recovered food clothing weapons and tools from a tunnel they uncovered under the border days before this attack near the airport its the second tunnel theyve discovered this year india regularly accuses pakistan of training fighters who cross the line of control which separates kashmir between the two countries. That analysts here early four metres long and wasnt finished we found the story of equipment nearby alert Border Guards prevented a major attack and for the various attempts by pakistan. Pakistan always denies helping the attackers to cross into india both countries claim kashmir. Out of twice gone to war over the region. U. S. Defense secretary james mattis has told the Senate Washington will again try to work with pakistan he said the u. S. Will give another chance to help on afghanistan before taking what he described as punitive action top u. S. Military officer general Joseph Dunford accuse pakistans Intelligence Agency of having ties to. Iran dunford is it your sense that. The i. S. I. Is still helping the taliban. Senator i think its clear to me that the i. S. I. Has connections with with terrorist groups and if i could just follow up on something secretary madison had i think over the last several years weve had a bilateral approach to trying to effect a change in pakistans behavior and if you think about the coalition we still have thirty nine nations that are part of the coalition in afghanistan and many other interested nations and so you know to answer the question what one thing might change pakistan i dont think there is one thing that would change pakistan but i find it hard to imagine that we cant get more cooperation if we can fully leverage the multilateral approach with thirty nine nations that are part of the coalition in afghanistan welcome on this side speak to rich advise director of the Hudson Institute center for political military analysis is live from washington very good to have you with us its certainly not the first time that were hearing such statements about the Pakistani Intelligence Services but nonetheless some harsh words from u. S. Military officials all we are starting to see a policy shift on pakistan from the trumpet ministration. I wouldnt say that yes i mean the one thing that strikes me so far has been continuity with previous policies i mean throughout the Obama Administration in the Senate Congress and the ministration there was constant criticism of pakistan seen as. Same time groups in pakistan were fighting terrorists domestically and providing some support to call it an operation in afghanistan including Logistical Support in particular there are also groups within pakistan which are aiding the taliban killing americans through proxies and so on and so there wasnt anything actually new in the hearing and from what weve heard before and the administrations strategy so far is sort of the same still the same combination of what weve seen constantly and regarding pakistan i took this more as a warning and i think the pakistanis are clearly worried about some of trumps rhetoric about fighting terrorism more vigorously lack a lack of support from some countries how that could hurt them. And so i think that i took this more as a warning right that there might be changes but not yet a change so when they say it wont be business as usual with the pakistanis you think its just a warning when they talk about punitive action against islam a bad what do they mean are they actually considering punitive action and washed out of committee of action would they take. Well weve had this before the congress has cut off aid the administration there obama was at times took various cut back on some intelligence sharing remember were particularly when bin laden was discovered in pakistan when a crisis that was the pakistanis themselves have cut off the supply route for nato at various times when nato forces inadvertently attacked some Pakistani Border forces so this is been a very difficult relationship and at the moment its still within the parameters as weve seen in the past i cant say yet that the trumpet ministration is taking a radically harsh more vigorous approach to pakistan but i think they want to give the pakistanis the impression that they might as you say yourself i mean this relationship has certainly detail youre a teacher with a years and we see in fact a son increasingly taking steps to to have stronger ties with china stronger ties with iran and the russians even they have been looking for alternatives it seems to washington how uneasy does this make the u. S. Administration how nervous does this make them. Right china has always been a a good very close partner in the pakistan strickly and the area providing support for Pakistans Nuclear program civilian Nuclear Program possibly military. And pakistani Intelligence Investment in pakistan and so on the russian dimensions a bit new in the past when i would speak with russians they would describe russians in some ways on americans described iran you as a potential terrorist state and so on now the russians have made an overture to work with pakistan those countries the three countries mentioned china russia and iran and work with pakistan and separate for all. But in the end i dont think it really worries that trump administrative so much the Administration Spokesman today on the hill talked a bit about trying to use these ties to put more pressure on pakistan in the past there have been americans said would be wonderful if the chinese would pick up the financial burden of supporting pakistan so far they havent they the u. S. And other western countries have had to do that so i dont think that in itself is going to promote a shift if anything it vies more leverage to try and influence pakistani policy that tom administration President Trump during the Campaign Said that he would pull out of foreign wars but now we know hes committed to afghanistan do you think theres a plan here or are they making this up as they go. Well President Trump said a lot of things during the campaign that appeared to suggest a radical shift and u. S. Foreign policy and those have not occurred we see this in the case of iraq and afghanistan in even korea i would argue. The the the what the administrations strategy is a bit unclear and i think that they they had a problem on some of the hearings i think senator mccain in particular was warning the administration that its been taking too long and announce a new strategy and there are some indications involve more croup some more in regional diplomacy more pressure on pakistan but the son has been crying out for details and senator mccain and self is holding up the confirmation of key people in defense department. So that strategy itself is still a bit open its still a lot of things arent clear yet ok very good to talk to you thank you so much for your insight richard finds from the house an institute joining us from washington iraq has stopped selling dollars to leading banks in the kurdish region and banned foreign currency transfers theyre stepping up its retaliation for the current secession vote state television says parliament voted for financial sanctions in order to preserve the interests of the kaddish people iraqs neighbors iraq and turkey both with a substantial kurdish minority back in baghdad but the Kurdish Regional read leadership has announced plans for president ial and parliamentary elections next month. Meanwhile the first kurdish leader to be president of iran gyle talabani has died at the age of eighty four he had attempted to symbolize a united iraq after taking office in two thousand and five but by the time of the referendum talabani had been out of politics for nearly five years after a stroke left him hospitalized and sectarian and ethnic tensions grow in his absence imran khan looks back at his life. He was the first kurd to serve as iraqs president Jalal Talabani was the leader of the Patriotic Union of kurdistan one of the two main kurdish groups that dominate iraqs northern kurdish region he was one of the longest serving kurdish politicians he was just a teenager when he entered politics joining the Kurdish Democratic party in one thousand nine hundred six as a law graduate of Baghdad University he went into hiding to evade arrest for his political role as found in secretarygeneral of the Kurdistan Student Union after graduating from law school in one nine hundred fifty nine he was called to serve in the iraqi army where he commanded a tank unit. When the kurds were sought independence and rose up against the Iraqi Government in nineteen sixty one taliban he led battles in iraq he also led Diplomatic Missions in europe and elsewhere passionately pleading the kurds case in one nine hundred seventy five he split from the k d p and joined the p u k eventually rising to become iraqs president. The movement suffered under Saddam Hussein especially in the widely condemned massacre what kurds were gassed in one thousand nine hundred eight. Then came iraq invasion of kuwait in one thousand nine hundred one after kuwait was liberated a no fly zone and safe haven for kurds was established by britain france and the us. Elections were held in iraq at a stand in one thousand nine hundred two and a p u k k t p joint interest ration was established. But the underlying tension between the two parties spilled into armed confrontation dubbed the fratricide war in one thousand nine hundred forty taliban and again fled to iran after the k d p called on Saddam Husseins forces to help defeat the p u k the four year conflict ended in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight with taliban and Masoud Barzani the k d p leader signing a peace agreement. After the two thousand and three invasion of iraq by the us and the takeover into areas of iraqi territory. I saw in two thousand and fourteen the kids began to develop Self Determination eventually a referendum happened this month with ninety two percent voting for their own country while the kurds voted taleban he was in germany for medical treatment he died in a berlin hospital.

President every ninety days to next said line is coming up in twelve days present trump as indeed is going to try to undo the deal but his defense secretary appears to be contradicting him particle has more it was a simple question that greatly complicated the understanding of what the Trump Administration thinks about the Iran Nuclear Deal you believe its in our National Security interest at the present time to remain in the j c p o a. As a yes or no question yes senator i do that doesnt seem to be where his boss is after all President Donald Trump took his time on the world stage to say this frankly that deal is an embarrassment to the United States and i dont think youve heard the last of it believe me the president said hes made his decision his secretary of defense says its still being debated but mattis made clear what his advice is the point i would make is if we can confirm that iran is living by the agreement if we can determine that this is in our best interests then clearly we should stay with it i believe at this point in time absent indications to the contrary it is something the president should consider staying with but thats not what the president promised on the campaign trail and he is still facing strong lobbying from those against the deal comes from certain circles in the Republican Party it comes from the Israeli Government not so much the go but from netanyahu self the israeli professional elite the Civil Servants the military they understand perfectly well that this agreement is a useful agreement in postponing any real challenge from the iranian Nuclear Program trump often says he respects his generals will find out by the next deadline tobar fifteen if that extends to the Iran Nuclear Deal as well political gain aljazeera washington. The u. S. State department has ordered the expulsion of fifteen cuban diplomat it stuff giving them seven days to leave the country this comes after the u. S. Reduce embassy in cuba citing unexplained injuries to american personnel there many have been suffering from illnesses caused by a sonic a tux cubas government denies accusations that it was involved. With. The policy announced by President Donald Trump on june sixteenth and other things that have happened since then represent a regression and have clouded our bilateral relations and justifiable unmotivated political position of demanding that fifteen cuban diplomats from our embassy leave the United States is a completely political act which only benefits those who want to derail the ability of both countries to improve relations. A group of leading psychiatrys and Mental Health professionals have declared the us president dangerously mentally ill they have made the assertion in a book called the dangerous case of donald trump in it twenty seven experts give their opinion on trumps state of mind but there are questions over whether this is ethically responsible after the nine hundred sixty four us president ial election the American Psychiatric association introduced the goldwater role declaring it an ethical to diagnose public figures without a personal examination that year a magazine had published a survey of psychiatrys views on republican candidate Barry Goldwater who suffered a massive defeat but there is no legal prying edition on socalled remote diagnosis and a court ruling has said Mental Health experts have a responsibility to speak out when they determine that someone poses a physical danger to others but the books editor dr sandy lead forensic psychiatry forensic psychiatry says the group has acted ethically. What we are doing here is assessing dangerousness dangerousness is different from diagnosis you dont need to have all the information to be able to assess dangerousness. It is about the situation rather than the individual it is about. Basically. The person and the influence they have and the access to weapons that they have and we have while we are not making a diagnosis we all agree that we have seen enough to be very concerned that the person appointed to protect the health and safety of the public is actually a threat to those things so where basically acting on another ethical rule called the duty to warn and it can go further to the duty to protect. It is essentially if someone is a danger to others or the public we have a positive duty to warn and can be legally held really liable if we do not do so and in an emergency situations it can also extend to persons we have not had relationships with basically it is in order to safeguard. The safety and survival of individuals and the public straight ahead in sport talk and go a new speed record in skiing coming up in sports with joe stay with us thanks. To you. With. With. With.
