Said nanda may that thanks to her. The us president has called for Commonsense Solutions to address gun violence but donald trump says the views of the National Rifle association which opposes new gun controls should be considered he made the comments almost a week after 2 Mass Shootings in ohio and texas killed at least 31 people. Frankly we need. Intelligent background ok the disintegration events are a republican or democrat i will tell you both new Mitch Mcconnell yesterday the totally on board he said ive been waiting for your ball is totally on board but 2 senators that it takes me by a friend of mine but pretty hard line senators we dont want. Guns in the hands of the wrong people i think that the republicans are going to be graded reading along with the democrat in the white house has been hosting Technology Company executives to discuss the rise of online extremism the meeting was called in response to last weekends shootings in el paso that killed 22 people the government announced his attack on a lot of us message board by condemning what he called the hispanic invasion of texas in march 51 was shippers were killed in attacks on 2 mosques in new zealand the shootings were streamed live on facebook before the signal was eventually cut off to being criticized for its slow response Facebook Says it removed one of the half 1000000 copies of the attack from the site voice started shooting the alleged gunman post a 74 page document denouncing muslims and immigrants lets go live to washington and a serious question salumi is with us how significant are these gun control measures that the president was talking about today. Well you know adrian the president has yet to specify what he means by quote intelligent background checks but the fact that he is even discussing background checks at all is a significant shift he was heavily backed by the National Rifle association in the last election the National Rifle association is against any new gun control measures and says that these checks would not have stopped the paso shooting from taking place and even though the majority of American Voters republican and democrat have expressed support for more background checks republicans have been unwilling to go there in the past earlier this year democrats in the house of representatives which is controlled by the Democratic Party actually passed a universal background check bill but it went nowhere the senate refused to take it up now today we have Mitch Mcconnell the republican head of the senate the Senate Majority leader saying that he will put this issue front and center when Congress Comes back in the fall so that is definitely a shift for the republicans not soon enough for democrats who are calling for a quick return from summer recess to take up the issue right away some of them want to see an assault weapons ban introduced as well whether or not the entire Republican Party is willing to go where the president says and enact something remains to be seen but again the fact that theyre even talking about this is a shift of this meeting. Extremism did anything come out of the. You know a lot of talk about this issue especially given the posts that were made by the shooter and el paso they did get together not a lot of concrete action or plans discussed in the meeting involved so social Media CompaniesTechnology Giants the white house said that they talked about how technology can be leveraged against potential threats how it can be used to identify people with Mental Health issues who might be dangerous but at the end of the meeting they just released a statement and basically said that theyre urging continued efforts to address violent extremism so its clearly an issue that people are talking about and concerned about but its a tough one especially given the 1st amendment in this country being so strong protections for free speech exactly how to attack this problem without hindering free speech remains a real challenge.

Iraqs President Donald Trump has doubled down on his trade war with china with another round of tariffs to be introduced next month but the spears has brought new trade benefits for other countries one of the biggest winners appears to be mexico. Reports from mexico city. Mexico has taken the top spot among the United States is International Trading partners according to data from the 1st half of 2019 this potential gain from mexico is the result of a 12 percent drop in imports of chinese goods to the United States as a tariff war between the worlds 2 largest economies plays out. Uncertainty from International Investors over the u. S. China trade conflict however has also rattled markets on august 1st the Mexican Stock Exchange reacted with the worst trading day since the start of the year but it is because of these terrorist between the United States in turn and that we are seeing this disruption to Global Financial markets imagine what such a confrontation involving mutual terrorist between the u. S. And mexico would bring this is not good for anyone. This disruption to Global Markets has also hit the mexican peso which devalued by 1. 57 percent on august 1st. Not good for a National Economy which is only projected to grow by point 2 percent through 2019 is that this economic equilibrium that mexico appears to have is not solid i would say that the Economic Situation in mexico is shaky at best mexico could maintain this balance at least until the end of the year but it depends heavily on the policies pursued by President Donald Trump. Earlier this year mexico avoided its own trade war with the United States which could have had a devastating effect on the National Economy. The reaction by Global Markets to growing tensions between the u. S. And china puts into question whether mexico really is the clear winner of the ongoing trade war or if there are any real winners at all the dip in the stock prices also serve as a reminder that the mexican economy is subject to the confidence International Investors have in the u. S. China relationship there may be nervousness in the markets but mexican exports the United States are still on the rise as mexico continues to pick up the slack left over from china there is one thing however that could on balance mexicos position the sluggishness of its own economy went up a little just needa mexico city.

Shirt by of that is a commemoration of the falling of the 1st and 2nd temples and the jewish exile the background to this is that there has been a wide ranging political effort by the right wing in israel and the religious nationalists to get more access to x.
