Well the pentagon has come out in support of saudi Arabia Mike Hanna joins me now from washington d. C. Its an interesting statement but perhaps allows us to join the dots past of the way saudi arabia has been acting in recent days. Well certainly that statement from the pentagon coming out to saying that it praised saudi arabia for what it called exposing saudis role in yemen it also went tired of its way as well to say that saudi arabia was a much valued ally in attempts to stop what it called the iranian destabilization of the region so this is very clearly the pentagon putting its cards on the table making very clear that it fully back saudi arabia in recent events particularly the ongoing war in yemen and of course the massive purge that happened in riyadh over the weekend with dozens of people arrested including several current and former ministers one of the richest men in the world so the pentagon coming out very tightly behind the Saudi Administration in particular behind the crown prince who has been heading that Anti Corruption committee set up by his father the king and which led to the massive purge of dozens of people who are for them and well leave it there mike thank you very much meanwhile hooty rebels in yemen are warning that sound ian demographically airports are within firing range and could be targeted next.

The u. S. Says its investigating how it handled the criminal records of the gunman behind sunday Church Shooting in texas twenty six people including children were killed when former Devon Patrick kelly and to the church and i put fire. Now the carnage in texas is just the latest mass shooting in the United States the response is routine shock press and vigils and a refusal by politicians and lobbyists to seriously debates the call if shes particle he takes a look back at the history of gun violence in the us i want it could mean for the future this is a couple of dozen more states that are running out of the school and it wasnt the first mass shooting but it shocked the country Columbine High School in colorado thirteen dead and you are getting a shot of the reality really that was one nine hundred ninety nine these scenes only continued to the point it can seem that nowhere is safe not a Movie Theater twelve an army base thirteen casualties a Holiday Party fourteen killed. A navy yard in washington d. C. Twelve more victims shot dead. A college thirty two killed it is an act of evil on a scale that weve never seen in this country before. This time the world heard what a mass casualty sounds like captured on cell phone video the sounds of a massacre underway. And then the unthinkable small children that should have been safe in their school mowed down by an automatic weapon young man wearing black and heavily armed entered the school and started firing the day they killed twenty small children the picture of innocence lost the nation more than a president demanded background checks for gun purchases the people overwhelmingly wanted it still it couldnt Pass Congress the powerful gun lobby won and it continued. We watched victims cower in the bathroom of a night club hidden amid some of the forty nine dead in florida. And then last vegas an outside concert fifty eight killed more than five hundred people injured all shot by powerful weapons that the shooter legally altered so that they could fire at this rate. The white house didnt want to talk about guns after last vegas but some here on capitol hill were there were discussions that they could ban those kits that are used to make the guns fire so rapidly turns out though it was just talk now another twenty six dead added on to the long list of victims of gun violence but according to President Trump it is still not time to talk about guns in america. We have a lot of Mental Health problems in our country as do other countries but this isnt a guns situation the trouble ministration and congress did do one thing about guns they got rid of a rule that would have kept severely mentally ill people from buying guns they are just like turning kids covered in blood columbine happened more than eighteen years ago it is no longer listed among the top ten most deadly shootings the reaction of so many people today was oh no not again another high school columbine yes it would happen again again and again pedicle hain aljazeera washington the us president has ramped up his first leg of his maiden daughter asia with a visit to japan and the Nuclear Threat posed by north korea dominated Donald Trumps discussions with Prime Minister shinzo all day both leaders agree the time for dialogue and what they call strategic patience is over tony betty reports from seoul and the public mood ahead of trumps next stop south korea. The u. S. Has been flexing its military might for President Trumps visit its state of the art u. S. B. One supersonic bomber has been flying close to the border with north korea in the western pacific three u. S. Carrier groups stand ready and in japan stealth bombers are we move to within striking distance tensions have been on the rise on the Korean Peninsula since the u. S. President and kim jong un began their war of words the north Korean Leaders planning to produce an intercontinental Ballistic Missile tipped with a Nuclear Warhead that could hit the u. S. Mainland trump has vowed to stop that happening some South Koreans are worried the president s saber rattling could provoke a conflict. So its a rhetoric increases the possibility of war rather than decreases it is behavior raises a question about his qualifications as the leader of a country. Rather than pressuring north korea with rhetoric a dialogue should take place for a peace treaty between north korea and the u. S. That this crisis can be addressed. Before war breaks out south korea will be put in a grave danger. Conservative South Koreans however whove lived through the war under the threat of several unpredictable north Korean Leaders see President Trump similarly unpredictable character as an asset he believes trump who is a bit irrational could be a factor in rational approaches taken under the clinton and obama administrations and not work north korea develop a number of Nuclear Weapons new approaches like trump could solve the issue the threat of war is at its highest in years assessments commissioned by the u. S. Congress estimate that if conventional war broke out in korea twenty to thirty thousand people would die every day some koreans remember the terrible human cost of the last war which ended sixty four years ago nearly three Million People were killed during the three years of the korean war one point six million of them were civilians and no one here is under any illusions about just what another war would mean. South koreas liberal president moon j. In insist that dialogue is the only way to resolve the crisis which donald trump has called appeasement and our policy is not an appeasement but a realistic one with no alternative taking military options to take out north koreas Nuclear Weapons which trump mentioned in other words staging a war to end north Koreas Nuclear program would be a very foolish policy has been little rhetoric coming from the north Korean Leader recently state media has been releasing pictures of him focusing on Economic Development such as visiting farms and cosmetic factories but no one is discounting the possibility that behind the smiles hes planning something to mark Donald Trumps visit Tony Berkeley aljazeera soul Zimbabwes PresidentRobert Mugabe has fired the Vice President emerson and longer guar my ghar ways mcgarvie is action removes one of the leading contenders to become his successor his wife grace is now the frontrunner ninety three Robert Garvey has been president of zimbabwe for almost thirty years liberias president ial Runoff Election has been indefinitely postponed by the Supreme Court less than a day before polls were due to open it follows allegations of fraud from the party that came third in the vote last month but as it is or supports from monrovia there could be more legal hurdles ahead. Its official liberians and going to the polls this week some party some like massive irregularities in the october turn the election enough to overturn the result justices of the countrys Supreme Court say i dont know cannot be held without first addressing those complaints for the candidate of the Liberty Party the verdict is of indication the four.

For this matter and resume immediately and i. And Vice President joseph are due to face each other in the second round vote what. Is the judgment will effect the countrys transfer of power. To be sworn in by mid january next year and some liberians wonder if the Election Commission can resolve the complaint before it and still go ahead with a runoff. If there are no father legal challenges petitioners indicate that there are as they question the ability of the election to hold a free and credible vote they considering going back to the top court again thats so mean that the Supreme Court would order a rerun we will book it in for the.
