And hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah accuses saudi arabia of forcing the lebanese Prime Minister to resign. Also the u. S. Sanctions against sudan have been lifted but the economy is still struggling to recover. Welcome to the news are we start in north america where a church suitings Church Shooting has happened in southern springs in the u. S. State of texas at least twenty six people have died police say the gunman walked into the church during sunday service and opened fire at least seventeen others were injured in the attack including children the gunman is dead u. S. President condemned the shooting hes currently on a twelve day tour of asia and spoke from tokyo my administration will provide its full support to the great state of texas and our local authorities investigating this horrible crime. As a state we are dealing with. The largest mass shooting in our States History. There are so many families who lost Family Members. Fathers mothers sons and daughters the tragedy of course is worse another fact that occurred in a church a place of worship for these people were innocently gunned down. And we mourn their loss will join hundred is a correspondent following events for us from washington d. C. And as time goes by and were talking just the in lots of details are emerging of the exact circumstances around the shooting john thats right so hail the victims ranged in age from as young as five to as old as seventy two and they include the fourteen year old daughter of the pastor at that church Frank Pomeroy of First Baptist church he was out of town with his wife in oklahoma but their daughter was left behind and she was found among the dead the gunman has been identified as devon kelly a twenty six year old we do not know at this time what his motive was for that shooting but we have Freeman Martin of the local department of Public Safety offering a statement this is what he had to say at approx mean levon twenty this morning a suspect was seen at a valero gas station and so there was praise texas he was dressed in all black this suspect crossed the street to the church exit is being cool and began firing at the church the suspect then moved to the right side of the church and continued to fire. That suspect entered the church and continued to fire as he exited the church a local resident grabbed his rifle and engage the suspect the suspect dropped his rifle which it was a ruger they are Assault Rifle and fled from the church. Or local citizen pursued the suspect at that time a short time later as Law Enforcement responded that suspect right at the Wilson Guadalupe county line he ran off the roadway and crashed out it was found to be deceased in his vehicle at that time we at this time we dont know if it was a selfinflicted gunshot wound or if he was shot by our local resident who engaged him in gunfire. John it seems that weve been here before we see the same old pictures that we see the vigils the soul searching then the questions begin and then the inevitable debate around gun control. Thats right so we have a vigil going on tonight after this shooting and as you say we have seen this so many times and so many times when these shootings happen there are calls for gun controls restrictions on the weapons restrictions on the ammunition magazines that are used in these shootings but here in the u. S. At the white house and at the congressional level there have been no successful efforts in years to restrict those weapons despite these many shootings we are told by the officer there that an Assault Rifle was used in this incident that there was an Assault Rifle ban here in the United States in one thousand nine hundred four president s carter and reagan supported it was president clinton who signed that ban but that ban expired ten years later efforts to renew it and to launch new gun control have not been successful and President Donald Trump has been a very strong supporter of the right to bear arms here in the u. S. He has offered thoughts of sympathy in this instance as you showed a bit earlier but he would have to dramatically changes business and if he were to support any restrictions on guns whatsoever so far he has not done that its been proven to be very difficult and after twenty School Children were killed in newtown connecticut in two thousand and twelve they were not able to launch frustrations after that weve had the recent shooting here in los vegas in which more than fifty people were killed theres no reason to believe that after this shooting anything will be different so hail well we should wait and see what those official comments are in the days and weeks to come for the moment told thank you. Sir commerce secretary an aide to the canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau in Queen Elizabeth the second of the u. K. Just some of the people revealed so far a huge leak of financial documents showing how some of the worlds richest people have been using secret offshore accounts in tax havens this is a mountain of material more than thirteen million files called the Paradise Papers and leaked from the offshore law company applebee and estimated ten trillion dollars is held in these offshore tax havens and in most cases its perfectly legal but critics argue enabling the mega rich to hide from the tax man is unfair and the issue governments have been slow to address but more importantly here the offshore finance system is also incredibly secretive arguably the way for companies and individuals to commit wrongdoing the law firm up always says its confident the papers will show no evidence of wrongdoing the next week of disclosures will reveal the truth of that Audrey Sullivan is the editor of the organized crime and corruption reporting project he says that hes highlight the imbalance of our societys wealth is managed. Theres a new Global Industry that that caters to money that moves around the world and this money tax haven than it used to evade taxes to hide after that to steal money. Going to crime and by Large Businesses and what this is really doing it it allowing by globalizing money youre allowed to move your money legally into places where you dont have to pay taxes and the problem is is that the countries which were getting taxes when a yacht was bought or a plane with the larger issue is you know whether its tax mitigation or tax evasion the problem of the not its not fair because you only can really do this if you have a large amount of money theres a criminal Services Industry that kind of caters to the market and allows people to do this and regular people are just not allowed to do that well at all trump is meeting Business Leaders in japan as part of his asia tall earlier he had lunch and played golf with Prime Minister shinzo all day tomorrow hell be meeting political leaders to discuss the north Korean NuclearWeapons Development program in his address to Business Leaders he said trade with japan was an open. This morning im pleased to have an opportunity to discuss how we can strengthen and improve. The economic ties between the United States. And japan. And i have to say for the last many decades japan has been winning you know. Well scott hyla the latest from tokyo it seems that the president isnt mincing his words at all to the Business Community at least. Not at all so hill and its interesting he he said we know we just heard that theyve been awaiting the japanese and in the terms of deficit trade deficit between the United States and japan he also went on in that discussion in that those statements just after meeting with u. S. And japanese Business Leaders at the u. S. Embassy just a couple of hours ago he also said that the d. P. P. The Transpacific Partnership this is a trade deal that was put forward during the Obama Administration something that japan was very much looking forward to the donald trump in one of his very first acts once he got into the white house was to kill the United States is participation in that was a blow to japan he reiterated that today he says its not a good thing for the United States to be part of it now japan is making its own effort to try to push forward with t. P. Without the United States thats something thats going on in parallel but whats interesting about these statements at the u. S. Embassy here this morning in tokyo is that you know in about three hours time were going to have a joint press conference with the Prime Minister shinzo President Trump whats going to be interesting because hes made these comments today obviously it was germane because it came out of a meeting with with Business Leaders is that there might be some discussions about trade he talked about the trade deficit maybe theyll be some discussions and maybe theyll be some announcements about trade situations i dont want to say deals but situations with the United States and japan coming out of that press conference in a couple of hours time so of course he wants to try to at least get some sort of success small or large you might say from each of the countries that hell be visiting along the way but he also wants to garner the opinions really of what japan feels about china about the South China Sea and of course north korea and these all will merge together as he moves around the region and really gets a sense of how regional leaders feel about these issues. Absolutely and you can be assured that were going to hear something about north korea in this press conference in about three hours time what will it be we dont really know i mean obviously throughout the trip and you know this is only the second day and the days leading up to week leading up to this trip north korea has been a very agenda topper if you will and the United States and japan have really kind of gotten much closer when it comes to dealing with north korea and how to deal with it in coordination you know youve got nearly forty thousand u. S. Troops here in this country so obviously security is very important to the Japanese Administration to the American Administration because of whats been coming out of north korea so there probably will be discussions and then some comments made at that press conference about north korea but then again its interesting you know because that was kind of was north korea where this segment of the trip of the twelve day trip to asia this part was going to be about north korea because of the close alliance the closeness of these two allies when it comes to defense but now were hearing that it could also be about trade issues as well so yeah as you say so hell hell want to take away some success from this stop in the trip will it be north korea will it be something trade related or might it be both well be hearing a couple of hours indeed welcome back to scott when that happens thanks very much weve been to europe now a counselor used to pose to president putin will has been released from Police Custody in brussels and four of his former ministers handed themselves into belgium fortys and to spain issued a european warrant for their arrest.

And in sports the new york marathon gets its First American female win it in forty years that story coming up in sport. To the middle east now i want of saudi arabias princes has been killed in a Helicopter Crash near the border with yemen and eight saudi officials also died in the crash principles or been more going out sound was the son of the former crown prince morgan in these videos are posted on his twitter page hours before his death showing him carrying out an inspection of defense and environment projects he was appointed as a Deputy Governor this year of the sea region which borders yemen its not yet clear what caused the crash. And more than a dozen saudi princes and ministers have been detained in a sweeping corruption crackdown the kingdom restricted flights and rounded up the officials just hours after the establishment of an Anti Corruption committee one of the worlds richest men is among those being held now this happened a saudi arabia and out a major cabinet overhaul widely seen as consolidating the power of the crown Prince Mohammed bin the still man natascha going to reports call it a surprise saturday night shake up. Saudi state t. V. Reported that eleven princes three current and dozens of former ministers have been detained as part of an inch i corrupted probe only hours after the formation of an Investigative Committee was announced its difficult to relate this to corruption since they didnt have enough time to make a prosecution or to make investigations about that if there was something or some information collected previously why did the and with. The case by case in different view this before about the not doing this overnight all these people together which is rather a quick question spaces the saudi cabinet overhaul is viewed as a power play by king solomon analysts say its designed to ensure his son and heir to the throne crown Prince Mohammed bin solomon consolidates power and does so among their branch of the royal family hes making this Public Relations sense to get more public support and also a little bit of the way for his popularity one of the most high profile figures pushed out is the minister of the National Guard prince metabo bin of dollar he was the son of former king of and once thought to be next in line to the throne he was the remaining member of the abdullah family in such a high level position. Also detained is prince will lead bin tell out hes one of the wealthiest men in the world and given his widespread investments is detainment could have an impact on global business. This shake up sends a message theres a new political order but only do we have a new chapter opening up in saudi arabia we have a whole new book a whole new political i was a bit if you will except i mean with one exception thats still all done in secrecy. Its also a reminder that for months after the crown prince was named heir to the throne there can be no mistake mohammed bin selman is the future for saudi arabia natasha going to zero. Saudi arabia has also shut down yemens land sea and airports in response to rebels who hes firing a rocket into riyadh saudi has also conducted air strikes against the who to run Defense Ministry and a square used for mass rallies in sanaa hes launched a Ballistic Missile into saudi arabia on saturday the Group Released this footage which they say shows the launch of the missile it was aimed down to Riyadh International airport but was intercepted and shot down before it reached its target the saudi that coalition controls many of yemens entry and exit ports. Saudi arabia has pointed the finger at iran for arming the who tees with such missiles and expertise saudi is leading a coalition of countries which are fighting the duties in yemens war constantly bombarding the country with air strikes the spokesman for the military operations in saudi arabia has evidence of irans involvement with the rebel group. You would would you know i mean these militant who are supported by iranian experts iran provides the who these military experts on the planet and collaboration in cooperation with a terrorist organization of his in lebanon trying to control straight in a dangerous challenge to Regional Peace and stability and to the movement of ships through the strait international trade. Iran and hezbollah have accused saudi arabia the u. S. And israel of trying to fuel tension in the middle east by pushing lebanons Prime Minister to resign saad hariri and now as he was leaving his post on saturday has been secretary general says saudi arabia is behind the sudden resignation. This is a statement written by this if you want to discuss it we need to discuss that. The way. It is its not the way of sort of the really its not the way of. Block and what has been written and the resignation a statement is completely different even sad that hariri. Came to power the way he thinks the way he deals with matters the where his sort of problems doesnt go. With the content of those of a nation statement. Hariri way the resignation announcement in a Television Broadcast from the saudi capital riyadh saying there was an assassination plot against him now he criticized hezbollah are underrun for their actions in lebanon israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says iran is trying to dominate the whole region. And i think this is a wake up call for everyone it says what the middle east is really experiencing its experiencing the attempt of iran to conquer the middle east to dominate in subjugated and i think when israelis and arabs and its all the arabs and israelis i want to agree on one thing. People should Pay Attention we should stop this rainy and take off with irans Government Society is using the resignation of hariri to cover up its own internal political crisis which is there is a mess from has been speaking to a member of parliament for the Iranian National security and Foreign Policy commission. Not having hussein is a member of the Iranian Parliament hes also the spokesman for the Parliamentary Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy he gave us his perspective on the events unfolding in saudi arabia over the last few days regarding the resignation of the lebanese Prime Minister he said theres no doubt in the iranian governments mind that saad hariri was pressured by the saudi government to step down and it was a court needed effort to distract from saudi arabias own internal political problems heres what he had to say. Based on your crew in the government of saudi arabia there has been a coup and saudi arabia tried to use the resignation of saad hariri to hide any tunnel movements inside the saudi government but the first headline is the resignation of saad hariri not incidents happening inside the government of saudi arabia so we believe that this is coordinated now he also said that irans government has information to suggest that hardline political groups are taking over Saudi Affairs but he took the opportunity to reach out to the saudi government. We believe if there is cooperation between saudi arabia and iran it is beneficial for the rage and it could bring calm to the region but they rely on america they rely on israel they think that with american weapons they can be a power in the region this is a wrong theory the government before the revolution in iran the shahs regime with totally saving america but americans abandoned him during the Islamic Revolution so instead of relying on american powers and foreign powers Pay Attention to the countries of the bridge and finally hussein he said that attacks by yemens hooty fighters on targets inside saudi arabia are in evitable he said that hundreds of yemenis are dying every day in saudi bombardment and that the people that theyre fighting cant be expected to do nothing saying he said that yemen had become a quagmire for saudi arabia in the same way that vietnam had become a quagmire for the americans and he said that it was time for saudi arabia to stop the violence and negotiate their way out of the conflict because as he said the era of empires is over.

Five at mecca reservoirs among the largest in the world are to be built in cattle the cost of many five billion dollars that each of the capacity of one hundred million gallons of water lower a burden manly visited the construction site. Construction workers trickle through this large pool but in less than a year it will flow with water these workers are putting the finishing touches to one of the largest reservoirs ever built. Taking a step outside reveals the truth of this four point seven billion dollar project its so big engineers couldnt find cranes that could stretch the length of it.

The Sudanese Government is being taken mediate action to take advantage of opportunities for the countrys crippled economy last month the u. S. Lifted most of its economic sanctions which it had been in place for two decades had a devastating effect on sudanese trade him organ reports from khartoum. But her man has had his shop for more than thirty years but he says twenty years of u. S. Sanctions slowed his trade and hes yet to see any improvements in the economy after the lifting of the sanctions a month ago well i think the sanctions consumption went down but the value of the dollar in the black market hasnt changed yet its availability is what brings its value down and thats not changed u. S. Trade and economic sanctions were imposed on sudan in one thousand nine hundred seven after the u. S. Accused of human rights abuses and supporting terror that along with internal conflicts and the secession of south sudan in twenty eleven which had seventy five percent of the countrys oil fields crippled the sudanese economy prices soared and havent come down many shopkeepers say theres talk stay on the shelves longer than they should and im a few more see my officialdom why there are months when people dont its not because there is no money it has to be prioritized on other things like school fees for example for most people prices remain on affordable sanctions may have been lifted from sudan but just like it took time to have an impact on the countrys economy its taking time for that impact to reverse until then many shoppers say they prefer to use their money only on basic necessities the currency has weakened significantly since the sanctions the official rate used to be one point seven sudanese pounds to the dollar now its six point six on the parallel black market the figure is more than three times higher at twenty two the government says its working to change that i mean you know. From now on after the lifting of the sanctions and the ease of banking transactions the cost of importation will decrease we are also now implementing policies of the free market to increase production and provide opportunities for fair competition. But analysts say more needs to be done to speed up a change in the economy. And if theres a government has to attract those outside sudan to send their money through official channels on this requires improving the rates for those outside it also has to take away all obstacles to National Production especially those that cant be exported photographer remembers his country before the sanctions as the for doing them and hopes he can now celebrate there and by seeing more sales people morgan and is there a cartoon with more than eighteen thousand people murdered in mexico this year so far twenty seventeen is that to become the countrys deadliest year yet the situation now is worse than two thousand and eleven when the government declared war on the drug cartels judea galliani reports from mexico city.
