Unless some gun owners and now destroying their assault rifles in videos that have gone viral others a turning them into authorities but on wednesday floridas politicians rejected a bill that would have banned assault rifles an indication of just how challenging any change will be that person who died because of an iowa fifteen. Was. You because you sat yesterday you had a chance to stop them and you took that chance the way i was there i dont like bush dont mind our heart you might but it. Was hard to background checks and Better Mental Health screening a widely supported by the Us Public Service the voices of children may make a difference they have to understand that this is really affected everyone not just us the kids in the school its affected the whole community and they need to listen to us and were were smart we can we can talk ourselves were not just children we can you know we can make a difference what you have here is a new generation of voices determined to make themselves heard and right now the world is listening but any change lays firmly at the doorsteps of politicians the next move is theirs and the expectations are perhaps higher than theyve ever been and gallacher aljazeera tallahassee florida home dexter is a board member to win against gun violence he strongly disagrees with trumps idea to on teaches. Its a terrible and dangerous idea on our board of directors we also have Los Angeles Police department and sheriffs detectives we get to go back to the l. A. Crime lab which is the largest crime lab in the nation and work with forensic scientists who are experts in ballistics and firearms and i specifically asked them could a civilian stop a mass shooter they told me that police only have an eighteen percent accuracy rate for hitting a live target during a live shooting the reason for that is that when youre in a life shooting situation you go into fight or flight mode you have tunnel vision your hearing is impaired time slows down your fine motor coordination is impaired so where expecting americas teachers who are by the way underpaid and under appreciated to now become the nations swat team its a really unfair ask and its a dangerous ask. Lets head to the middle east now where despite growing condemnation Syrian Government bombing continues on the rebel held district of eastern guta near damascus more than three hundred people have been killed since sunday that of the United Nations as call the situation in eastern go to hell on earth our diplomatic editor james bays will have more in a moment but first an a harder look at whats happening on the ground. There is no front line in eastern. Residential neighborhoods have become battlegrounds the Syrian Government and its allies are bombing the besieged rebel enclave into submission i look at the suburb of damascus is under attack well look i. Mean what we heard a plane overhead is the messiah landed people were torn into pieces i was with my nephew and we were both injured or i heard was the sound of an ambulance and i found myself here hundreds killed hundreds more injured the United Nations says makeshift hospitals are being hit some are now out of service there is a humanitarian crisis and there is nowhere to hide. There is no safe place i tried to convince my parents to say in the first floor of our building thinking it would be safer but they told me theres no difference because buildings are being flattened in the strikes. The government said military reinforcement to the frontlines around the besieged enclave the progovernment newspaper says the Bombing Campaign comes ahead of what it said will be a vast operation which may start on the ground at any time. The thousands of rebels there are promising to repel any advance a ground offensive will not be easy the government and its allies have repeatedly tried to storm eastern huta in the past the rebels have strong defenses and an underground Tunnel Network that they use to their advantage. For the Syrian Government and its allies a victory in history that would remove a threat to the capital the rebels are able to fire mortars into damascus at times causing casualties russia is now justifying the Bombing Campaign even though eastern should be a deescalation zone it is pointing to the presence of the fighters belonging to a Group Previously known as el nostra accusing them of using civilians as human shields and of what it calls armed provocations. Many including the un are warning the battle for eastern huta could turn into a repeat of the battle for aleppo. The battle for aleppo lasted for months there was so much suffering among the civilian population before a ceasefire deal was reached that involved a Mass Evacuation the people of eastern fear they could face the same fate.

Found their way home so the obvious to government issued a statement saying that at least fifty students have been unaccounted for as of the time of least that statement but said the military and other Security Services are calming the bushes trying to rescue those who fled and found their way why they actually couldnt get in now this is coming at a time when there are still up to one hundred schoolgirls kidnapped in two thousand and fourteen in chibok and now a lot of people are oppressive are strict zakk to what happened and many people are complaining as to why there was no clear statement more than twenty four hours after the attack.
