B. I. Is investigating so far theres no indication of a motive. Well this all comes on the heels of the worst mass shooting in the u. S. This year Police Arrested a 21 year old white man in texas suspected of the mass killing President Trump has called it an act of cowardice police are investigating the possibility that was a hate crime as rob reynolds now reports. Heavily armed police move through a Shopping Center in El Paso Texas after a gunman opened fire in a crowded area. In other parts of the Mall Shoppers were held in place while people tried to work out what was happening. You know where you are on duty the part you dont have with you there but it comes out there and then there was what has become a common scene in the United States lines of people being led from the scene of another mass shooting. On a on a day that would have been a normal day for someone to leisurely go shopping. Turned into one of the most deadly days in the history of texas. Lives were taken. Who should still be with us today. 20 an ascent people from el paso. Have lost their lives and more than 2 dozen more. Are injured. We as a state unite and support. Despite reports of multiple shooters police say only one man is in custody and will face charges that could if he is convicted lead to his execution but needless to say this scene is a riff ikhwan fortunately because of the nature of the situation the scene will be in play for a long period unfortunately the c. S. Will remain at the scene until the scene is process properly for. Evidentiary purposes to be gathered for later prosecution the state of texas will be the lead agency or into the prosecuting this particular individual. That has a nexus point in time to a hate crime the f. B. I. Will be looking into that with the other federal authorities right now were looking at potential capital murder charges for this individual he is a 21 year old white man who allegedly posted a racist rant online on an extremist web site just an hour or so before the shooting an emotional democratic president ial hopeful that oh rourke who is from el paso announced he was canceling further campaigning and heading back to his city and so i just ask for. Everyone strength for passing right now everyones resolve to make sure that this does not continue to happen in in this country u. S. President donald trump called the shooting an act of cowardice and promised the city and state any help the federal government could extend but democratic president ial candidates including orourke linked trump and his rhetoric to the shooting senator Bernie Sanders wrote on twitter we must reject this growing culture of bigotry espoused by trump and his allies the Shopping Center behind me is now the focus of an intense criminal investigation and as authorities gather the physical evidence theyll also be looking at the suspects activities on line trying to trace the roots of his rage rob reynolds Al Jazeera El paso irans revolutionary god say they have seized a foreign oil tanker in the gulf which they accuse of smuggling feel to some arab states with them on this lets bring in ascent bake from tehran what more details are emerging about this tanker that the iranians say theyve seized. Well the revolutionary guard released a statement they said that they stopped a vessel near farse island which is between saudi arabia and iran in the gulf so they say that the transport of this vessel was transporting around 700000 liters of fuel to a number of arab countries 7 crew members have been detained or arrested and the vessel has been taken to the southern port city of bush era so the river issue god has released a statement and what it shows is that they are committed to policing those waterways us theyve said and showing that the have the capability of doing that and they said that they carried out this operation on wednesday after they got the adequate permissions from the judiciary so the 7 crew members are under arrest and this is the 2nd of its similar operation thats taken place in the last month again the neighboring arab countries will be taking close notice of this the revolutionary guard carrying out its operations even though this all this activity is taking place in the gulf and i said the iranians have also been giving more details about the diplomatic failures with the United States on the sanctions imposed on the foreign minister yes the government spokesman has been talking this morning earlier upbeat and he was talking about the invitation for foreign minister. Reese ari to the white house and that this is the 1st time weve actually got confirmation from the iranian side that he was invited to meet donald trump and this is what he had to say. In a dome on the core the u. S. Action on par mr zarif is against all diplomatic procedures and is an unprecedented event in the history of diplomacy that one government keep claiming to be ready for negotiations and then to put sanctions on a foreign minister of that country how well isnt it ridiculous he was invited by a senator to have a meeting at the white house then they imposed sanctions on him foreign minister zarif is responsible for Foreign Policy and any diplomatic path should pass through him. Though this is the reef again invited to the white house we believe that this meeting was meant to take place last month but he didnt go and thats because it rained position has been not to deal with the u. S. Administration asunder so sanctions are in place those sanctions have been in place since the u. S. You need to actually put out the 2015 nuclear deal but what the spokesman also said was the support that theres a reef has from the establishment here from the un forces from the revolutionary guard and the Supreme Leader and what theyre telling the u. S. Is that they cannot sideline the foreign minister of this country in any future negotiations so that doesnt bode well for any negotiations or to in tehran i said thank you. Now sudans military joined the Opposition Coalition have just signed the deal on the constitutional declaration just moments ago the agreement was reached through mediation 4 months after long time president bashir was ousted African Unions envoy to sudan says the document outlines the division of power until elections can be held in 3 years time well monitored has reported extensively from sudan and joins us live here in the studio at most so how significant is the signing of this constitutional agreement and what does it actually mean was quite significant daryn because it means sudan has embarked on the road to so much desired democracy that people from protesting for 4 months and also it is momentous for the African Union which has been the between the purtiest in sudan and of course this is a new. Thing thats coming on the continent a hybrid transition or that has both military officials and members of the. Civilians walking together during the period of transition and there are bound to be teething problems but again many people in sudan still hopeful they have come this far and there are still deep suspicions out there on both sides with the opposition saying that the regime is so deeply entrenched i mean so do people trust the military to actually give up some of its deep rooted political power or for many people in sort of course theyre happy with whats happened the signing of the collaboration that there is goodwill from both ends to walk together but these this dips it to suspicion within the minds of the people of sudan who have suffered under 30 years or for oppression. And. Beyond so what they are saying is the Opposition Alliance that had negotiated with the transit. The military council is saying that they are prepared for anything and they were good relying on public support and thats why theyre not to be at this point to disband the pressure groups that were behind the protests and you mentioned the issue of teething problems because one of the big sticking points was what would happen to the Power Military records support forces theyve been accused of killing protesters and the opposition want to hold them accountable so could that be a problem Going Forward could be and it was really. Interesting watching the head of the proper support forces. Go to be talking about how theyre going to bring justice and pursue those who committed crimes against humanity when many people feel that he is one of those that need to face justice for more of it vents not open in darfur in Nuba Mountains and also during the protests but again that erupted support forces now under the general command which means they would not have the free and they had and al bashir and after the months that followed just just a final thought i mean how much is this deal now being seen perhaps as a victory for the protest is how will they be responding to the fact that finally you have the political deal now you have the constitutional deal theyve both been inked. What was their reaction going to be to all of this well they have also to give some compromises this is not what they was seeking in the beginning they wanted a tall tall blond over the military and the transition of military council and anything to do with the miniature out of politics they wanted this to be and tired a civilian affair they had theyve had to compromise on but again when you look at what they have they have got a lot more going for them but again days of work that needs to be done divvying up the parliamentary positions and making this kick starting the whole transition thats is going to require a lot of effort and positions and so. There is much more to be done all right thank you very much indeed for your insight thank you.
