Purchases if you buy rifles there or magazine fit and 22. 00 in caliber you have to do a multiple sale for those 2. But since President Trumps election gun owners think tighter regulation is a thing of the post its been very very slow i love donald trump. I love donald trump but now that trump was on everybodys happy that guns are not going to go away and i dont want to buying anything so. We want to hear the traffic is sullied and the Law Enforcement officer has put us in touch with the Mexican Police informant this man used to work for the gulf cartel can you describe to me how the cartels operating the weapons trafficking from the u. S. Into mexico it was almost. What about the Mexican Security forces do they make a big effort to stop all of it. And u. S. Security simply has a different concern as american Border Forces are more focused on drugs coming in then weapons going out traffickers have adopted their business model. Official data about trafficking is hard to come by but some u. S. Gun sellers have come to attention such as this super store chain called academies. It keeps coming up as a purchasing point of weapons that have been trafficked to mexico u. S. Agencies are limited by law as to what data they can publish but in 2011 a spreadsheet was leaked was thousands of gun traces and Academy Sports features very prominently Academy Schools comes up a nearly 100. 00 traces some link to weapons recovered from the cartel now because the data is a bit old also Conservation Court documents and Academy Sports has come up again as a place where u. S. Agencies have mounted an undercover investigation into the illegal sale of firearms. Academy didnt respond to our interview requests but has denied any wrongdoing in previous statements adding that they have removed tactical weapons from open display. But the federal agency who investigated Academy Sports has agreed to. Its called the bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearms a. T. F. Thanks jim very nice of you agents franco to go and we call strong work on cases that involve firearms trafficking this was one. That was seized in a recent investigation of this gun was bought by 2 u. S. Citizens on behalf of the Mexican Cartel the investigation revealed a whole straw purchase a network but their charge was based on lying on the paperwork 7 of them have been prosecuted. In federal court for providing false statements on the transaction so would you prosecuting them for the fact that they filled in the form wrongly correct there is currently no firearms trafficking statute that we can prosecute someone for in the absence of a targeted federal law traffickers get off with minimal punishment. Nichol and friend take us along the route where weapons are trafficked south there are 52 border crossings between the us and mexico used by thousands of people every day this one connects browns will with the city of. What were looking at in terms of your work this is your frontline in spite of the message drive to increase Border Security the a. T. F. Has seen a series of budget cuts and the number of agents has been substantially reduced President Trump wants to build a wall to keep refugees and migrants out of the United States do you think such a wall could ever stop the flood of american weapons going into mexico thats not the trend that were currently seeing is the focus in the Crossfire Arms by crossing the River Crossing in vehicles. Through the international bridges what does it take to stop the weapons crossing the border what we could really use is the firearms trafficking statute because that would allow us to go after not only the straw purchaser but the entire network of people that are getting these guns to our cartel. But some legal gun sales take place virtually outside the law. Here in texas socalled private sale is concealed weapons without any background checks. Many private specialist websites and i have made contact. A former texas Law Enforcement has agreed to help us since he still does private undercover work in his face went on to list there is actually somebody. Is selling a rumanian a k 658 its called the package it looks new the investigator takes over contact with the seller he will show us how easy it is to buy a weapon completely anonymous lee so youre texting with tom now told. Me it was to. Be a case that the vendor has at least 4 other rifles for sale but to me this is in the course of the more it was perfect conditions on the. Call you were moved to set up with birds. This fellow wants to meet at this service station a busy and public place hes waiting with the a k 47 in the call we recalled the ordeal. Its all arranged or you know agree so its not the right yes look no no just chief the extra bag. You have to throw it. Right and take good care of. Within minutes the deal is done later in a private place we need to look at the purchase its an a k 47 the cartels favorite weapon of and that pretty extraordinary i mean this is a weapon that was designed for war and it took you about 5 minutes to buy it or to get to me it was 2 minutes listening to did you at any point of time show identification did he ask anything about your 2nd mame look book who you where it was just so bright knows me its very long it could be a quarter. To make sure the weapon doesnt end up in the wrong hands we decided to destroy it. So this kalashnikov actually broke the machine but as really hard actually really hard but nobody is going to shoot. This gun again thats for sure so what can american authorities do to keep track of firearms. Our next stop is a 1000 miles north in west virginia. It is here that the bureau of tobacco and firearms traces weapons found at crime scenes including those in mexico we do treat us for firearms or anywhere from 752100 point countries in 2016 alone the a. T. F. Traced nearly 10000 weapons found in mexico back to dealers and owners in the u. S. But american laws dont neil from sharing details instead he takes us on a tour. What youll see are or hallways and rows and rows of boxes u. S. Laws only allow the agency to keep records from gun dealers who are no longer in business each month the a. T. F. Receives around 2000000. 00 paper documents were simply prohibited from creating any kind of a searchable database why. Is it if thats just the way the legislation is written. Even record submitted by dealers in electronic format must be reversion. Guys here are the immediate Conversion Group pretty soon the documents in electronic form and what we do is take the. Macon the image sort of thats not searchable and. That means youre taking something that was easily searchable electronically searchable and you make in a search harder yes thats what happens if investigators want to trace a gun from a crime scene in mexico or the u. S. A. T. F. Employees must navigate amount of paperwork. You life is made so much more difficult all these laws that restrict how you can actually do your work whos responsible for those laws u. S. Congress is responsible for for any of the. Laws particularly the federal gun laws and it would be literally an act of congress if that were to be changed. Washington the place to find out who really shapes us gun laws a group of congressmen is bringing a bill which could further limit the a. T. F. The ability to investigate trafficking. Our interview requests to them have gone unanswered so we try to find them in person congressman evan jenkins is the sponsor of the proposed new law. Hi. Im not from aljazeera im actually looking for congressman jenkins his staff say they havent received our emails and we ascend to way. We go in search of the cosponsors of the bill sorry are you working with congressman massie. So you include you know this congressman hyde says around today he was ready right now.

But cool we did without results. Finally we are in luck hi good morning congressman and you are very well thank you we know that youre supporting this bill which cancels the multiple reporting requirement for assault rifles now the a. T. F. Is saying thats one of the few tools that they have to stop trafficking in School Purchasing can you just tell us why you support this 2nd amendment is very clear limitation on the governments ability to regulate firearms and i think the 2nd amendment speaks for itself i took an oath when i ran for congress to preserve protect and defend the constitution and that was one of the ways of doing it but it helps to prevent a crime it helps to stop trafficking and straw purchasing congressman im interested in stopping crime. This sick and amendment of the Us Constitution guarantees americans the right to carry weapons. We know the congressman is due you had a meeting so we waited again.

But evan jenkins despond solve the proposed law which would limit the a. T. F. Investigative powers sent a written statement he says he wants to stop government intrusion into the lives of responsible gun owners. With President Trump and i were in power to tell the trafficking has become much less likely to get passed. Here he is addressing the 27000. 00 convention of the National Rifle association who contributed over 30000000. 00 u. S. Dollars to his campaign rather true friend and share in the white house no longer will the federal agencies be coming after law abiding gun owners. Rallies across the country trumpeters has urged him to construct a wool between mexico and the us. A promise President Trump has vowed to deliver. That wall is going to help us very importantly with the deadly and heartbreaking consequences of illegal immigration the last was the drugs that gags are cartels the crisis of smuggling and trafficking. But do try and discipline to schenectady their freedom to buy guns with the destruction suffered by mexicos people. If america intends to keep drugs and migrants out it should get tougher on weapons going in. Ready for now the families of the disappeared and waiting for the violence to end.

Millions of people across india missed out on medical but a hospital train is delivering doctors and home to those most in need one i want to east towards india as a lifeline expire on aljazeera. Over 100 years ago britain and france made a secret deal to divide the middle east between the now we can draw him in the 2nd episode we explore the lasting effects of this agreement if there is a original set to 6 because its at those borders were drawn without consulting the people who have to live with it. Sykes pekoe lines in the sun on jersey. Al jazeera. Every. This is aljazeera. Now and welcome to the aljazeera news hour on live from my headquarters in doha with me in a soprano coming up in the next 60 minutes saddams new Prime Minister its 4 men up the last battles to build a lasting peace and solve the countrys economic crisis. The u. S. To bring involves allowing Migrant Children to be detained indefinitely but their parents. Blaming n. G. O. S brazils president dismisses criticism after a record wave of forest fires in the amazon and the german chancellor challenges britains Prime Minister to come up with a new brics a plan in 30 days. After a moment of Political Uncertainty and violence saddam finally has new leadership a new Prime Minister and a Sovereign Council with military and civilian members have been sworn in general abdel Fattah Albert Hahn who led the military jointed took power in april will head the council for the 1st 21 months hippa morgan has more from full. With those words sudans military junta came to an end and a transitional Sovereign Council took its place the council has 5 members from the coalition known as the forces of freedom and change and 5 from the military an 11th member agreed upon by both sides makes up the body that would lead sudans 3 year transitional period a Prime Minister who was named by the f. F. C. Was also sworn in hours later i think. With the light vision with the right policies we will be able to address this economic crisis we will have a plan that will address the media challenges who are Recovery Program addressing the felt need by the people issues of inflation. Real ability of commodities we fuel medicine and all that. Everyone is happy and satisfied but if anything happens and if we did not see anything new from the revolution being achieved we will surely hold another revolution and topple the council same as it did with omar al bashir. All the members of the Sovereign Council are accepted by us the formation of the Sovereign Council comes after a power sharing agreement was signed between the coalition and the military on saturday after months of protests it had been a point of contention between the 2 sides with disagreements over its role and who will have a bigger say now the council will be led by the military for the 1st 21 months of the transitional period and by a civilian from the forces of freedom and change coalition for the remaining 18 months it will have the role of overseeing the executive council and Legislative Assembly in which the opposition will have a majority or a presentation. The 4th of our freedom and change has been representing the protest movement and the talk of the form a Transitional Government and all its institutions now people under 3 think theyll be keeping an eye on that coalition and the institutions including an independent judiciary to make sure that their demands for justice and accountability and Better Living conditions are met. The weight now is for the next steps in the journey to a democratic rule i think one of the interesting things here is that we are largely expecting a fairly technocratic cabinet. During the transition period the Political Parties themselves will take their place within the Legislative Council which will be for dr 90 days so while there might be some you know positioning that happens within the next 3 years im certain there will be. Military figures and if there is really any executive it is in some parts offset by the way the structure of the Transitional Government. The Sovereign Council is said to be a test in the power sharing agreement between the military and civilians sudanese see if at the end of experience of the military power to a civilian government thats when they will know that they are on the right track to democracy he will morgan aljazeera. Now sudan may be going through a political transition but its economic hardships remain antigovernment protests 1st began over high prices of food and fuel Sudan Central Bureau of statistics said inflation was it 47 percent in june the sudanese pound lost over 70 percent of its values and the end of last year u. S. Trade sanctions were lifted and 2017 but sudan is still designated by washington as a state sponsor of terrorism and that makes it difficult for car thaw to access farms and do trade with the rest of the world well lets get more on this now are joined by eric riggs hes an author and sedan research and hes joining us live from northampton and the u. S. State of massachusetts mr reeves always good to have you with us on aljazeera so we are looking at possible political stability with a Sovereign Council now in charge of the country do you think that could lead to economic stability. Thats an open question the sudanese economy has collapsed its not collapsing it has collapsed 30 years of misrule 30 years of kleptocracy 30 years of ignoring fundamental issues in infrastructure the collapse of the Agricultural Sector have left the country essentially helpless before the forces of inflation which actually is running over 100 percent and a sudanese pound that can be used to import critical items food medicine Refined Petroleum products. Filter im dont go ahead incredibly serious challenges then how does the Prime Minister how and the Sovereign Council go about getting the economy back on track after 30 years of the she has mismanagement. I think the main challenge for a Prime Minister him doc is going to be getting the National Budget in order all the sudanese economists i know those who are caught red indicate that they believe the Security Forces and military forces account for some 70 percent of the National Budget thats unsustainable thats never ever going to be a way for sudan to move forward. But lets recall that 2 of the ministries the interior ministry in the Defense Ministry remain in the hands of the military so how is. The durham da as Prime Minister going to ensure that there is a rational National Budget one that really does commit serious funds to infrastructure and to ending war and the consequences of war there is still war in darfur in the Nuba Mountains lou not the violence. Has ebbed and flowed continues to be a tremendous drain on the country and the 1st priority busy is peace in the 2nd priority is getting a National Budget in which there is a rational allocation of National Resources and what about things that can happen on the International Stage as weve mentioned saddam remains on the u. S. List of state sponsors of terror making it very hard for saddam to do trade and get and to National Funding and to the country do you see that changing anytime soon not soon i think the International Community rightly is going to look very very carefully at how this. Embryonic government works. Those who follow the history of sudan under obvious share will remember that all the agreements made by his regime well for many over 30 years not one of them was abided by every single one of them every single one was abrogated in one fashion or another and there are lots of ways in which the constitutional declaration admirable as it is in many respects in the abstract basis of reality that 2 of the generals im actually. Have a lot of blood on their hands. And this creates Serious Problems and wondering how they are going to allow the funding of the Security Forces the Rapid Support forces and the writer Sudan Armed Forces and the reconfigure National Intelligence and Security Services how are they going to respond when Prime Minister and uk says youve got to take an 80 percent cut if were going to make progress in the sudanese economy mr reeves it is great to get you inside as always that as eric me reeves live and no phantom message you said thank you. Well lets move on to other news now the u. N. Has warned that 22 lifesaving aid programs in yemen will be forced to shut into mountains on this the world doesnt want to help fund them in february countries pledged more than 2000000000. 00 but less than huff of that was actually received tens of thousands of people have been killed in yemen civil war millions are on the brink of famine the u. N. Has called it the worlds worst humanitarian crisis she has been following those developments at the u. N. The u. N. Security council received a disturbing briefing on tuesday about yemen because humanitarian efforts there are only 34 percent funded in the coming days Water Treatment would be stopped in various areas of the country putting some 300000. 00 displaced people at risk of cholera now on wednesday an even more dire warning of whats to come because of that funding shortly unless the funds promised at the fed recon friends are received in the coming weeks food rations for 12000000 people will be reduced at least 2500000 malnourished children will be cut off from services which have been keeping them alive some 19000000. 00 people will lose access to Health Care Including 1000000. 00 women who depend on the un for Reproductive Health clean water programs for 5000000. 00 people will shut at the end of october and tens of thousands of displaced families may themselves fight may find themselves homeless and what we keep on hearing is although most donors have stumped up the money that they promised in february for yemeni humanitarian efforts its saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates whove only paid a modest amount of the 750000000. 00 that they each pledged for yemen humanitarian efforts. Meanwhile the World Food Program has resume distribution food in the capital sanaa after a deal with with the fighters the agreement follows a partial suspension of aid for 2 months after reports emerged that the rebels were diverting food away from thousands and need the whole thing is denied the accusations saying the food sent to them was stale not Human Rights Watch is drawing attention to yemens fishing communities which are under attack the Rights Group Says at least 47. 00 fishermen and children were killed in bombing attacks by the saudi immorality Coalition Last year it says another 100 or so are detained in saudi arabia and some have been tortured in custody h.
