Police have described the last vegas gunman as a disturbed and dangerous man his spent decades acquiring firearms but investigators still dont know why Stephen Paddick killed fifty eight people and injured hundreds more at a concert on sunday. Reports. Police say if anyone had knowledge of the gunmans motive the woman he lived with would but after returning from the philippines tuesday mary lou damn lee had little to say to explain her partners behavior she released a statement through her attorney. I knew steven had it. As a kind caring quiet man. I loved him. And hoped for a future together with him. He never said anything to me or took any action that i was aware of that i understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen. Speaking on australian t. V. And with their faces hidden danley sisters said Paddock Center away two weeks ago to visit family overseas. Thats a go go and it. Was said no way so was no way. To really be. There for this. Dannys Attorney Says she is cooperating with the Investigation Police say they found a total of forty seven firearms inside the two homes the couple shared and inside the hotel room on the thirty second floor of the mandalay bay resort from which paddock rained down terror what we know is Stephen Paddick is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo and lived in a secret life much of which would never be fully understood. He meticulously planned on the worst domestic attack in United States history. Body cameras worn by Police Officers captured the chaos and confusion as twenty thousand concert goers ran and hid from the barrage of bullets go go go go go go without another chilling Detail Police say patrick may have considered attacking and nother music concert prior to sunday nights massacre a week earlier had a rented a high rise condo overlooking the life is beautiful Music Festival and its fifty thousand attendees with what contention yet another question that remains unanswered how did you castro aljazeera las vegas some republicans are considering backing efforts by the democrats to ban devices that make guns fire more rapidly twelve of the twenty three guns found in steven paddocks las vegas room had what are known as stocks attached to them and a gallagher reports. On sunday night the sound of rapid gunfire from Stephen Products hotel room was unmistakable police say the sixty four year old used a device known as a bump stock to via more rounds and inflict unthinkable tragedy. The device which is legal replaces a standard stock of a rifle for in the weapon to slide back and forth enabling automatic fire now that most sensitive of issues gun control is once again being talked about democratic senator Dianne Feinstein tried to introduce a ban on assault rifles four years ago but that failed. In the wake of the Las Vegas Shooting shes proposing new laws that would ban modifications of already Deadly Weapons when is the right time we hear that every time something happens when is the right time and i think this is the right time and you know since ive been here theres just been entered in after incident i thought it would end with columbine you know i thought it would end with sandy hook. Does and then. During his visit to las vegas President Trump made it clear hes not ready to discuss gun control but some republicans may be on board yeah i would certainly look at that im not an expert on bombs dogs but all things that make america safer and dont infringe on the Second Amendment so you think now is the time to have this policy debate yeah i think so i think a big good time to have a hearing many republicans say the legislation is premature and inappropriate so soon after such a tragedy the powerful National Rifle association donates millions to republican politicians and past Mass Shootings have done little to change attitudes democrats remain passionate about change how minimal much doubt. How many mothers and fathers brothers so. How does. She tell me what tell me and tell us what is the name and how minimal did. Well it takes to wake up this congress so far only a few republican lawmakers say theyre open to talking about banning books dogs and other devices for this legislation to have any chance of succeeding that number will need to increase if this countrys history teaches us anything its that even when children are killed as they were in sandy hook five years ago nothing changes here in las vegas bump stocks and no longer available gun shops a sold out and agalloch aljazeera las vegas nevada. Saudi arabias king solomon is in moscow for five days the first visit by a saudi monarch to russia hes going to hold talks with president Vladimir Putin on the war in syria will be the top of the agenda along with bilateral investment in stabilizing oil markets so joining us onset to talk about all this is abraham freiheit an associate professor and conflict management and humanitarian action at the tail institute thank you very much for coming we thank you so put this in some context how big of a deal is this well i think according to the Saudi Foreign minister this is a historic visit and factually yes it is actually this is the fairest visit by a monarch to saudi monarch to russia ever. King said man i should say himself i actually visited russia before so this is not his first visit but i visit in a different capacity when he was in charge of riyadh so it is a historical visit factually and you know but that we should be we should differentiate like from this be an historic and been successful that whole thats a whole different thing i guess simply. Doesnt mean that its necessarily going to be a success successful because i think there are challenges. Such as actually this is like. The gulf crisis is many things that list that you just gave there is that the reason that this visit is happening because there are so many important things to talk about absolutely i think this is at the top of the interest of saudi arabia and russia at the moment is that to make such a historic visit so we should expect. The discussing first of all bilateral relations because they the two countries share very important. Things in the market particularly the old market stabilizing the old market because thats russia and so that it be as major producing oil so that thats the top of the agenda but. I mean but but even more importantly i think its. Not only this. The gulf crisis the gulf crisis so there have been particular is expecting support from russia in the gulf crisis of course because this is something that is consistent with the overall. Strategy of saudi arabia in the National Support for its position in the gulf crisis that issue both covered so im this was a secret because we saw. In the past two three months actually making two visits to the gulf to saudi arabia and look at that russia has maintained a neutral position over the gulf a crisis and. No intervention on one side or the other so i think so that it is trying to get some support and i have exact that though i gained syria i think it remains a quarter of the issue and the future political talks with the syria with the c. E. O. Position and in particular of like how the influence of iran in the future will be in syria so these are to me and core issues was very very important issues in the world will be watching abraham for you i thank you very much. At least one hundred thirty people have been killed in multiple airstrikes in just the past two days in syria stars or province forces on the ground he is russia being responsible for those strikes so amateur video reportedly shows the nearby town of my again being bombed u.

The Iraqi Military says its recaptured the center of the northern town of a week from eisel iraqi forces and now its the military campaign to retake it two weeks ago they say theyre in control of the center and surrounding areas now who is one of just two remaining pockets of territory held by eisel in iraq thousands of civilians fled to nearby areas during the campaign trail strafford joins us now from to vist northwest of charles kind of give us some perspective on where you are. Well this is a. Defensive position as you say and close to the town of dbase pines round where youre looking at here is no mans land the page tell us that it is around twenty kilometers to. Over that horizon they say that there are villages around seven kilometers in that direction that still controlled by isis they say a number of villages in that area they say there are around two hundred isis fighters in those villages the peshmerga are here as i say in accordance with an agreement made with the Iraqi Military to feign the line as you report the Iraqi Military is saying now that they are in control of the center of it we certainly understand that they are still pushing flight is in this direction so these guys here to hold this line and also open up humanitarian corridor you know to see the roads down there. Is waiting there are families that are using this wrote to come out to escape the fighting weve seen a couple of families this morning according to the peshmerga here they said that yesterday there were around a thousand people that crossed the. Checkpoint the majority of those people are women and children they are checked. Wearing explosive belts by female peshmerga the women and the men checked by the men the men of taking taken away the women to camps but there is a lot of nervousness here about the amount of the people who are still in these areas who may or may not have been sympathizes with. As i say it seems as if this offensive. Seems to be drawing to a close and its because. The last bastion for eisel in. Mosul retaken in july. A few weeks later what we see was a place where i still fighters would skate to and it seems theyre very much on the run but yes there is expectation here today seeing certainly a lot more i. D. P. s and these guys very much on guard for any lie still trying to. Charles in this area as a contested area tell us more about that the areas around here are in areas which are considered to be disputed. The peshmerga took control of swathes of this area in two thousand and fourteen when basically the Iraqi Military dumped their weapons and ran away from that are still offensive its hugely controversial areas such as the city of kirkuk which participated in the recent referendum now that is a disputed area interesting that this particular place is not disputed this is well beyond the official boundary of the k r g but as i say the peshmerga go ahead as part of an agreement with the Iraqi Military in defensive positions but whats so interesting though is having spoken to a commander in this area this morning and asked him whether the peshmerga would pull back off this offensive defensive position operation is over and the answer was no they said they would not be pulling back so it is controversial but as i say at this stage its very much part of a. Military operation as agreed to with the Iraqi Military ok charles thank you very much and also the iraqi Prime Minister is in france right now meeting with the president and i crown three u. S. Special operations soldiers have been killed and two others injured at an attack in southwest and share a joint patrol with us and share troops or an ambush near the border with mali.
