We stand strong oh so strong the church regularly posts video of its sunday services raising the possibility the massacre may have been captured on camera this clip is from a week ago we have gathered in this place may you be able to look down from heaven and say those are my children choosing the gather together in my name and worst of me capturing the last days of peace before tragedy. On as your pastor joins us now from southern springs and heidi whats the latest on the gunmans motive. Lauren we just had a press briefing from investigators here and they say that this massacre was not motivated by terrorism or religious beliefs or rather it sprung from a domestic dispute as evidence they say that this gunman sent a threatening text message to his to his mother in law the mother of a strange wife prior to this taking place we also know from military officials that the gunman was removed was removed from his posting this charge under bad behavior this happened three years ago after he had served a year in jail for assaulting his then wife and his child and perhaps some of the most devastating updates of all coming from this press conference in fact saying the range of ages of the victims who were killed started with an eighteen month old child who was among the dead ranging all the way to a seventy seven year old lauren and hardy weve heard again from President Trump about the shooting.

Mental health is your problem here. Very based on preliminary reports very deranged individual a lot of problems over a long period of time. We have a lot of mental Health Problems in our country as do other countries but this isnt a guns situation i mean we could go into it but its a little bit soon to go into it but fortunately somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction otherwise it would have been as bad as it was it would have been much worse but this is a mental Health Problem at the highest level. Now police say the shooter devon kelly purchased four guns in the last four years two were from another state and colorado two were purchased here in texas and the question still remains why he was allowed to purchase those guns one of which he apparently used to unleash this massacre Lauren Hunter caster thank you very much indeed.

Documents leaked to a german newspaper appear to show that thousands of the worlds richest people have previously unknown investment held in offshore companies its been reported that Donald Trumps sex trade commerce wilbur ross has ties to russian business is linked to people close to president Vladimir Putin has more on the socalled paradise papers. It is a massive leak one point four terabytes of material more than thirteen million files most from the offshore law firm applebee they shed light on the secretive world of offshore tax havens and the financial dealings of the mega rich the farmers who obtained by saddam the same german newspaper that acquired the Panama Papers last year this is a well established part of doing business these tax measures may not be any. But the same secrecy is used by people who are seeking to cover the tracks of their criminal behavior grand corruption kleptocracy requires offshore secrecy as the getaway car for the proceeds of those crimes the files of being examined by around one hundred different Media Outlets newspapers a book casters from around the globe this ross please come forward and day one of the disclosures and some big names Donald Trumps commerce secretary wilbur ross with a pound links to russian businesses and revelations about the russian tech tycoon yuri milner documents examined by the New York Times suggests that kremlin control. Entitys bank and energy giant gazprom partnered with milner to acquire sizable chunks of Facebook Twitter the disclosure is likely to increase concerns over russias use of social media to apparently interfere in last years u. S. Election. Also in the spotlight of revelations around the investments of Queen Elizabeth the british monarch around thirteen Million Dollars from the queens private estate the duchy of lancaster were invested in funds in the Cayman Islands and bermuda its not illegal for the queen to have done that but given that she is the head of state and that her duties are paid for out of the public purse can she really afford to be secretive about her finances. Some politicians are calling for a Public Inquiry into the findings anyone is. Putting money into tax havens in order to avoid taxation in britain obviously investigations have to take place should do things not just apologize for it but also recognise what it does to our society the Boston Consulting Group estimates that ten trillion dollars is held off shore thats the combined output of japan france and the u. K. The Law Firm Appleby insists theres no evidence of wrongdoing. Investing money offshore powered ice islands outside a comfy Financial Regulation is not illegal but an important question still remains is it ethical the park out zero london what it is going to join in is in washington for us whats the comma sexual been saying about this. Well the color secretary who was just wrapping up a visit to london at this hour has said that the allegations that he was illegally in business with russian officials at least one of whom has facing u. S. Sanctions is patently ridiculous this is wilbur ross speaking earlier to a member of the International Broadcasting community if our government decided to sanction them that would be a different story of the gov our government has not so this far made the determination to sanction so theres nothing wrong with that the fact that it happens to be called a Russian Company does not mean that there is any evil in it were there is evil is the misstatement that i did not disclose those holdings in my original form. Was it is wilbur ross in trouble over this. Well hes facing some criticism from Senate Democrats who say that he should have been more forthcoming about the extent of his International Investments when he was undergoing his confirmation hearing earlier this year of course anyone who wants to be in Public Service in the federal government has to submit a raft of documents disclosing his or her financial engagements and whether he or she might have any conflicts of interest but its also worth pointing out that while wilbur ross was questioned about his involvement with the bank of cyprus which does have a lot of russian clients no one on the senate panel questioned him about his investments and navigator which is the company that has been doing business with the russian firm sieber and that company has basically the blessing of the government of president Vladimir Putin so it technically might have been legal but it has been suggested by ethics experts that in the case where people are wondering about ties between russia and the extent of its involvement in the u. S. Twenty sixteen president ial rates being forthcoming might be have been a better strategy for wilbur ross and for other members of the trumpet ministration.
