Violence. This is Aljazeera America live from new york city. Im erica pitzi. It was a violent night in ferguson, missouri, two teens shot and a man critically injured with a shootout with police after they say he opened fires on officers. This happened after a day of demonstration marking one year since the shooting death of Michael Brown. We are live in ferguson. Good morning to you. What is the latest on all of these shootings . It was a very chaotic evening after a relatively peaceful day. 2 00 this morning, two teenagers were walking near the can field green apartment complex near the Michael Brown memorial when shots were fired from the back of a car. Those two teenagers were struck. Their injuries were nonlife threatening. Just a few hours before that at about 11 00, shots rang out on west floor went avenue during a protest just as Ferguson Police chief Andre Anderson was talking to reporters. We just want to be as patient as possible. Get down, get down. That shooting happened when a man fired multiple shots at police. The police chief describes what happened. The suspect engaging them with gunfire almost right at the grill of the car, strike the hood, i dont know if youve even picture ofette yet, three or four times, the windshield five times. The plain clothes detectives returned fire from the inside of the van, but they dont know if they hit him or not. The suspect ran to the east on the north side of that building. He turned back around, as the detectives got out of the car. The shots were fired again. That victim has not about that identified, and as you mentioned earlier, he remains in Critical Condition. You were there last night, describe the atmosphere. It was a bit tense when we were there. During the day, there had been relatively calm protests. As night fell, though, there was a little bit of tension between the protestors and police as the protestors tried to get out into the road, they were pushed back by police. Once the shooting happened, that sort of escalated things. Down at the end of west florissant avenue where protestors were cordoned off, there were 100 Police Officers keeping them in bay. The protestors said we have a right to be in the street, but given what happened before that, the Police Wanted to keep them back to continue the investigation on the 11 00 shooting. Diane, as you mentioned a couple of times now that before gunfire erupted that it was a pretty peaceful weekend memorializing Michael Brown, right . It absolutely was. Earlier in the day, a thousand people turned out, speaker spoke about Michael Brown memorializing him and there was a march through the streets of ferguson. It was a very peaceful day, a lot of people reflecting about the incident and how it sort of changed the conversation about race in america. Is there anything planned today in ferguson . Today, theyre planning a series of protests, today is a day of civil disobedience. We dont know what is going to be happening today, that still remains to be seen. Hopeful live, everyone in the community is hoping that this will be a peaceful day, but obviously, theres some tension given what happened here last night. All right, diane, thank you. We spoke with patricia bynes, a Democratic Committee woman representing ferguson about the citys future. Heres what she had to say. You you still have some people who are tone deaf and still have some of those who are yelling, but what is different, there are more people trying to get engaged in their community to make a difference and that is important. Beyond the yelling and people who are just trying to ignore others, there are more people involved now from ferguson, trying to make a difference. Since Michael Browns death, ferguson has elected two africanamerican members to the city council. A suspect will appear in a Houston Court today for killing eight people, including six children. We have more on the investigation. Do we know anything more about a motive here . Police say the suspect was in a dispute with one of the victims, a 40yearold woman. Prosecutors say the suspect broke into the house, restrained the victims and shot them. 48yearold david conley is charged with fatally shooting a family of eight, six children, the youngest six years old. We do not and cannot fully comprehend the motivation of an individual that would take the lives of so many innocent people, especially the lives of the young once. It may have been a domestic dispute. Adults received a phone call from a relative asking them to make a welfare check on the home. A male was in the home that had a warrant for an aggravated assault on a family member. Thats when an officer spotted the body of a child through a window. Deputies on scene forced entry into the home, and were immediately met with gunfire. After calling for backup and several hours of a standoff, the suspect surrendered. Upon entering the home police discovered the victims, jackson, her husband and the six children dead. The victims were found in each of the three bedrooms. David conley is charged with three counts of capital murder. The niemi of burglary, along with murdering valerie. Another count is killing multiple people in the same incident, and then the other is for killing a child. Police believe the oldest child in the home, a 13yearold, was the suspects own child. Court records show the suspects criminal history dates back more than 20 years, with the most recent incident last month when he was charged with assault and the judge denied bond for the suspect in this case. All right, thank you so much. The lawyer for Washington Post reporter jason rezian may know his fate within the week. He is accused of espionage and spreading propaganda. His last closed door Court Hearing was held today. He has been in iranian jail for more than a year now. If convicted, he be faces up to 20 years in prison president the 39yearold denies all charges against him. Turkish police have sun suspect in custody and are searching for another after an attack on the u. S. Consulate in istanbul today. No Staff Members were hurt. In the city, Officials Say a Police Station was bombed, 10 people injured in that attack. Bernard smith reports. Here outside the u. S. Consulate general on the european side of istanbul in the early hours of monday morning, two armed attackers, a man and woman opened fire on a security post outside the consulate building. The woman was subsequently injured in a shootout with police. Shes heard on a video shouting that i did this for my party. The man has not yet been caught. He remains at large employee earlier on monday morning, an attack at a Police Station on the asian side, on the edge of istanbul, that attack injuring at least 10 people, and as forensic teams descended to examine the scene, there was a further, another shootout where the two attackers killed a police officer.

Later on during the Daylight Hours of monday in the southeast of turkey, four Police Officers killed when their vehicle went over a roadside bomb, and then later, a helicopter carrying military personnel came under attack from rocket launchers, one soldier killed in that attack on the helicopter, that is the part of turkey where for the last couple of weeks Turkish Security forces have been engaged in fighting with the occurred tan workers party, the separatist p.

All day today, Aljazeera America is looking at the rise in gun violence this summer. Coming up, a new Program Designed to help Police Respond to shootings faster than ever before. Ray rice, act asking for a Second Chance. Why the former nfl running back said hes ready to get back on the field after being suspended for a Domestic Violence incident. Incident. Wildfires in california claimed another life. A firefighter was killed near lake to hoe by a falling tree. More than 10,000 fighters have been dispatched to fight the fires in the state. Its been away violent summer in many parts of the country. Aljazeera america is taking a special look at gun violence. Children are often traumatized by the sound of gunfire. Researchers are trying to figure out how deep those invisible wounds go. We have more. This is oakland, california, a beautiful city being reborn in many ways. Families are moving here, its gentrifying. Oakland still has a gunfire problem. There is a new technology called shot spotter, trying a lating the position of a shooter by as you seeing rooftop microphones to pick up his location. It has revealed startling statistics. Not only is there a lot of gunfire here, theres a lot more than anyone thought before, perhaps three or four times as many gunshots are fired than Police Reports would have us believe in the past. That means children who live in this community are in some cases exposed to more gunfire than an active duty soldier would have been during a deployment in afghanistan, or iraq. What effect is it having on these kids . It turns out that a growing body of science is determining that its having not just behavioral affects, it is changing the architecture of the brain. The stress hormones when released and held at a high level affect brain development, ability to pick up language, ability to connect to other people and there may be a higher saltsical incident of diseases based on just being exposed to trauma like gunfire at an early age. In a special report later tonight, well be exploring the invisible wounds inflicted by gunfire on the children exposed to it. Football season kicks off next month and most nfl players are gerting ready for it, but running back ray rice is not one of them. Last year, he was dropped by the Baltimore Ravens after a video showed him purges his fiancee. Now the former pro bowler wants to get back on the field. I want to be able to rewrite the script to tell my daughter daddy made the worst decision of his life, but this is what i did Going Forward. Humble and hopeful, former running back ray rice asking pro football and the American Public for a Second Chance. With one or two bad decisions, you can live the nightmare. Its not set in stone whether you get a Second Chance or not, im just really hopeful for a Second Chance. An apologetic interview just as nfl Training Camps come to life coasttocoast. He said he is not surprised he is still not signed. I understand why maybe a few teams or teams that shy away from me. I understand that, because its a privilege. It truly is a privilege to play in the nfl. Rice was cut last year after surveillance videos surfaced of him dragging his unconscious fiancee from an elevator. He was sidelined for two games. Another video was released showing him strike the woman, prompting his indefinite suspension. I got it wrong in the handling of the ray rice matter, and im sorry for that. I got it wrong on a number of levels, from the process that i led to the decision that i reached. The suspension was overturned on appeal and the charges dropped when rice agreed to a year long Pretrial Intervention Program for first time offenders. He paid 125 in fines, received anger management counseling and assigned a probation officer. Prosecutors agreed to the plan only after consulting with his wife. This is what i did Going Forward and to the survivors of Domestic Violence, i understand how real it is and i dont ever want to take that for granted. For rice, its not just about his image. Hes appealing for another chance to make a living as a professional athlete in the wake of a very public place of public violence, an issue not unique to sports. Lawmakers in washington grilled leaders from americas four main sports leagues back in december. At the time the nfl was buried in the avalanche of negative publicity, vikings running back Adrian Peterson missed almost all of the 2014 season fighting charges that he hit his son with a wooden switch. He eventually pleaded no contest and served probation. Former 49ers defensive lineman ray mcdonald and cardinals running back jonathan did wire all missed games. A panel of female experts were formed to shape the leagues policy. We will do whatever it is necessary to ensure we are thorough in our review process and that our conclusions are reliable. We will get our house in order first. Now as players like peterson and hardy lace up for training camp, ray rice is trying to figure out how to win back hearts and minds. My video, you know, put the light out there if you have never seen what Domestic Violence looks like and you look at my video, i can understand why some people would never forgive me. I talked with the founder of the Advocacy Group truth in reality and survivor of Domestic Violence. She said ray race has in the been held accountable and has not put in enough time to be reformed. There has been a tremendous outrage and certainly a level of accountability that we continue to see play itself out in the news. We can see very clearly this public has not forgiven ray rice and theres still a lot of emotion around what transpired between he and his then fiancee, but from a legal perspective, i do not believe that he has been held accountable. Nine months is not enough time to be able to guarantee that someone is rehabilitated. Contrition is kind of par for the course for someone who is a batterer. Of course youre going to be sorry, particularly when there are certain social sanctions, but it is a privilege to play in the nfl, and he can get another job. Its just a question of whether or not what were looking at here is how ray rice is a prism for our society, for all that is wrong in our system, not only within the nfl, but society itself in which a man could receive harsher sentence for and im not minimizing what michael vick did, but for killing dogs than for beating or raping women. That is a fact. From a legal perspective has he fulfilled his consequences . One could argue yes. The legal system needs to be reformed, that the way that batterers are treated by the system, when you contrast that to what happens to victims, its out of whack. Ray rices College Football coach from Rutgers University is now lobbying nfl teams to give the running back a Second Chance, but some teams, including the Buffalo Bills wont even consider him. There are eight new members in the pro football hall of fame. The late junior seau is among them. After his suicide, his family sued the league, alleging he suffered brain damage while playing. The hall of fame refused to left his daughter read his induction speech but did allow her to be interviewed on stage. I hope this induction exemplifies the fact that you are more than number 55 and junior seau and a buddy, you are a light. I want nothing more than to see you come on stage, give the speech you were meant to give, give me a hug and tell me you love me one last time. The hall of fame said it was not trying to sensor the seau family. A state of emergency after a toxic spill in colorado. The e. P. A. Now says the amount of contaminated water accidentally released from a mine in colorado is three times what they thought. Did cecil the lions death truly change the publics awareness about he be dangered species . Nicole mitchell takes a look, next. Next. A state of emergency in parts of colorado this morning after Dangerous Levels of heavy metals spilled into a colorado river. Weve now learned that 3 million gallons of waste from an abandoned mine spilled into the animus spilled, turning the water orange. The mine is still discharging 500gallons per minute, but the e. P. A. Says it is containing it and treating the poll looted water. High arsonic and lead levels of shown. It is only dangerous if people are exposed to them. The e. P. A. Inspectors triggered the spill while investigating pollutants at the mine last week. A hiker found dead last week in Yellow Stone National park was killed by a grizzly bear. He was an experienced hiker. Investigators found his body off the trail. Theyve set traps in the area. They say any bears involved in the attack will be killed if captured. The poach of of cecil the lion in zimbabwe has brought focus on illegal hunting and the conservation of endangered species. Lets bring in anymore mitch now. Were still talking about it so many weeks later. A lot of impacts coming out of i have the, airlines now saying they are not going to help transport even the legally caught cashing cusses of these animals, the trophy heads, for example. Analogy graphic took a look at how understanding has changed since the shooting of cecil. 70 of americans had heard of the story and of those, the vast majority acted in some way, talking to someone else about it, posting on social media, 10 signed a pledge, 4 that i had made a donation. They asked did you know the other big cats are in decline and 40 knew that was true. 8 thought it was false or might be false. Understanding has increased some, but not enough to know that is a true fact. They asked as a result of news coverage, how informed are you abouted rapid decline of big cats in the wild and about 19 feel more informed because of the coverage. As you look in general, about Different Things about hunting and poaching, most people have gained some knowledge, but not a lot more when they did these surveys. Tigers, one of the big cats that are the most endangered, there was just another one shot last week in a logging area in russia, as loggers encroach, and thats one of the things that will happen with the donations, a lot of the big cats arent just killed by the poachers and hunters, but people encroaching in their area, livestock moving in their area. It will be education so people can react with these animals without just killing them to protect themselves. It seems its raised awareness. Pro football hall of Famer Frank Gifford has died. He passed away from national causes. He was 84 years old. He played in five nfl championship games of the new york giants in the 1950s and 1960s.

We are back in two minutes with more Aljazeera America news. Have a good day. Gunfire eruptses in ferguson, missouri after a day of demonstration, marking the one Year Anniversary of the death have death of Michael Brown. Demonstrations in baghdad in favor of sweeping proposals to reform the government. This is Aljazeera America live from new york city. Im stephanie sy. Gunfire overnight in ferguson, missouri as demonstrations to mark the one Year Anniversary of the death of Michael Brown turned violent. Two teenagers were shot and a man is in Critical Condition this morning. Police say he opened fire on officers following him because they suspected he was involved in shots fired in the area. We are live in ferguson, this morning. Its been a tense night obviously with several people shot. What more do we know about the circumstances that led to these shootings . Thats right, stephanie, about 2 00 this morning, two teenagers were walking near the apartment complex where Michael Brown was shot last year. Shots were fired from the back of the vehicle and those two teenagers were struck. They did sustain nonlife threatening injuries. About 11 00, shots rang out on west florissant avenue near a protest, just as Ferguson Police chief was talking to reporters. We just want to be as patient as possible. [ gunfire ] what is that . Get down. Get down. That is gunfire. Now that shooting happened when a man fired multiple shots at police. St. Louis county police chief john bellmar described what happened. The suspect engages them with gunfire almost right at the grill of the car, strike the hood, i dont know if youve seen pictures yet, three or four times, strike the wind field five times. The plain clothes detectives returned fire from the inside of the have been, but they dont know if they hit him or not. The suspect ran to the east on the north side of that building. He turned back around, as the detectives got out of the car. Shots were fired again. A very chaotic night, following a relatively peaceful day. Youve come to us in the street. Fiery speeches. Chosen for changes rising up. Theorizing up. Followed by silent reflection. This is how forego son, missouri remembered Michael Brown, hundreds filling the street where the unaround black teen was killed one year ago by a white police officer. We have seen them, we have died in, we have marched in and nothing has happened. It is time for us to not seek justice, but demand justice. Traveling from seattle to teach their sons a lesson in race relations. Weve been talking with julian about Police Brutality and black lives matter, so we wanted to be here. For the second day in a row, michaels father led demonstrators to where his son was killed in the streets of ferguson. Theres been a lot of talk about the healing thats gone on, but talking to people here today, you get a sense that things havent changed all that much in the last year, both in ferguson and across the country. This is a whole situation, kind of scary. You had encounters that you felt were dangerous with police . I felt things werent really necessary, ive been stopped three times since, mainly just because i was black. This year has been so hard, no accountability, no justice. Police are still killing us. Erika garner, whos father eric was killed last year by police in new york said race must be an issue in next years president ial election. No one is talking about these issues. I think the candidates are a joke. They are not taking it serious, and, you know, its still a year later and we still believe that black lives do not matter to, you know, the elected officials. As the crowds dispersed, one activist reflected on browns legacy. I think this is a generational shift. Even if i were to step away right now, i dont think theyre going to stop. Throughout the weekend, we were at mini marches and we saw police mingling with the crowds and everything was skate soar gel, kind of a stark contrast to what we saw last night. What is planned for today in ferguson . Today is a day of protest again, some demonstrations, another day again, a day to remember Michael Brown, both here in ferguson and across the country. Diane esther brook live in ferguson, missouri, thank you. Del walters spoke last night with the executive director of the million moodies movement for justice. He said that a year after Michael Browns death the institutional causes havent been adequately addressed. We think about this his the one Year Anniversary of the ferguson uprising, the cbs that got Michael Brown killed still exist, regardless of whether there are new people in office and new people who are in the same police department. There is still political isolation, economic deprivation, folks feel like they are trapped, right . So i dont think things have changed. Ferguson is not an isolated incident, there is Staten Island and eric garner, and Baltimore Freddie gray. Is it that the system doesnt get it or is the prop too complex . I think its a little bit of both and the approaches have been reactive. They havent been proactive or reformative. When we see what has happened in terms of the conversations, its been about nicer police and not lesser police. The body cameras, thats good, but lets not think about how we can hold the Police Accountable whether or not theres a body camera. Looking at the eric garner case, weve seen that body cameras dont even sox the problem, so i think what we have seen so far is a broken system, and we really need to think about how recreating really new ideas on to the space. In order to fix the system, you have to address the system also it is, not as you would want it to be. What is the system as it is versus what you might want it to be . I also want it to be, id rather have it what i want it to be, i dont want to take for things. This is why im an organizer, right, and why members across the country and million hoodies are actually thinking about how we are transforming the system. We dont want to accept it how it is, but transform the system so that it works for us. Protests last year opened up a new discussion over press freedom. Washington post reporter Wesley Laurie was arrested last summer. He was in a local mcdonalds coverings the story when police accosted him. He recalled his interaction with Ferguson Police. It was august 13, 4 days after Michael Brown was killed, two days after police had gun using tear gas and rubber bullets to clear protestors. Only day, it was a peaceful protest during the daytime, however police made the tactical decision to attempt to clear the buildings before nightfall. They illegally took us into detention because we werent clearing the building. This was the first time that reporters exercises their First Amendment rights were taken into custody here in ferguson. We saw that repeated night after night for two weeks following that. That arrest did not stop him from returning to ferguson. He is back now covering the anniversary. More American Military jets and troops are arriving in turkey to join the fight against isil. Six f16s have arrived. It is the first batch of jets arriving in turkey. The u. S. Sent 300 personnel. Turkey agreed last month to allow the u. S. To stage strikes from the air base near the syrian border. A Police Station in istanbul was attacked today, 10 wounded in the blast. There was two people involved, we understand, in an attack on the u. S. Consulate general building opened fire at a security post connected to the believe. Its heavily fortified, as you can see, built on a hill top in a suburb out of the very center of istanbul. Now in a shootout after that, the police shot and injured one woman who was heard to shout on a video that weve seen, that was filmed by a witness, i did it for my party. The roads have been reopened, but there still seems to be one man lodged in that shootout. On the asian side of istanbul, there was an explosion at a Police Station, 10 injured there, three Police Officers. After that explosion, as forensic teams and bomb squad teams descended to check the scene, two attackers attacked the Police Officers coming to the scene. This is where the last couple of weeks the Turkish Security forces have been involved in fighting with fighters from the occurred stop workers party, the separatist p. K. K. Today, we understand, monday, first of all, a soldier was killed in a military helicopter that was attacked by rocket launchers and that military helicopter was maneuvering, moving troops. Then four Police Officers were killed when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb, both of these incidents happened near to the border with iraq and right at the center of the tensions where the fightings going on between some members of the p. K. K. And the Turkish Security forces. Turkish Security Forces have been involved in airstrikes on p. K. K. Positions in iraq and parts of southeastern turkey. Bernard smith reporting from istanbul. Iraqis are coming out to show travel of their Prime Ministers new reform planned. Hundreds braved the heat to support al abadi. Powerful politicians hold posts which are being dissolved. Many blame almaliki for stoking sectarian tensions. Maliki has come out in support of the reforms, following demonstrations calling for Better Basic Services like electricity and clean water. Parliament must pass the reform package before it becomes law. Lawmakers are expected to start debating the plan on tuesday. Can mr. Abadi get this done . This has moved faster than most people in iraq anticipated it would. Parliament is expected to meet tomorrow and so far, it looks as though these proposals will be passed. Thats going to be an emergency session tomorrow that were hearing about. So far, the speaker of parliament has come out saying not only do they anticipate passing these proposals, but theyre going to introduce 16 more points to try to pass to fight corruption in this country, but thats the easy part. Then comes actually trying to implement this. The actual debate on how to execute the proposes also. Politics are notoriously slow. When it gets to that stage, thats when you might see a lot of fighting in parliament. Right now, parliamentens are between a rock and hard place. Anyone seen not supporting those Anti Corruption proposals will be vilified by the press and protestors. In baghdad, thousands came out. The people believe that their lack of basic services is due to political corruption. Do sectarian tensions play at all into the corruption were seeing in the Iraqi Government and is this plan likely to fix that . Thats a very good question. Sectarian tensions certainly do play a part in this. Why . Because parliament here really is divided along sectarian and ethnic lines. Because of that, in order to get most things passed, you need to get this 2 3 majority that parliament. That means the two sects, whether it be the kurds and the sunnis or the kurds and shia, or the shia and as soon as possible parliamentians, they have to work together. That means one group here in iraq is left feeling marginalized. Thats where the dilemma is here in iraq. Thats one of the reasons the process is so slow going. Many groups here over the past 13 years have tell the at one time or another marginalized. Right now there is a lot of sunni anger toward the government. They feel they are not included enough on the political table. You have pushes from religious groups to get these things done. You had the highest Shia Religious Authority supporting Prime Minister abadi in these row forms, that he needs to show the iraqi people that he is doing at much as possible to fight corruption. Its a very tough sectarian and political map, leading to stagnation in parliament, delays be a all the people weve spoken with even yesterday in tahrir squaren baghdad, they dont expect the process to be quick but say they are going to continue to come out until they see the reforms. Thanks for that context, muhammed. Now to pakistan, where officials demand a federal inquiry into what it calls the largest child abuse scandal in the countrys history. Seven men were arrested in the case. Several hundred children were reportedly used in sex votes, including as young as six years old. There are 10,000 People Living here in the village. Its quiet, its a poor agricultural area. People are shocked and outraged at the alleged child sexual abuse thats been going on right here. Some 284 children are alleged to have been abused, videos taken of that abuse and sold on to the local market in pakistan for about 40 cents. Many of the victims families also believe that the videos ending up overseas in cases like the u. S. , europe, and u. K. The public reaction has been very strong. The victims families have in some cases clashed with local police, allegations that the police have taken bribes not to properly investigate this case over the last couple of months. There is going to be a full judicial inquiry into the case here, going a step beyond the Police Investigation which is being carried out at the same time. Reporting from punjab in pakistan.

In general, there are few restrictions on buying firearms on Southern States than the north, but guns routine by cross state borders regardless of what local laws require. We explain. Hello. Hey, there. How are you . This is thes bait and tackle shop in georgia, one of four licensed gun dealers in the state, this is the owner. What channel are you with . Aljazeera america. He was the source of the gun used to kill new York City Police officer brian moore in may. It was stolen in 2011. This cctv video caught the mass thieves in action. They took 23 weapons, nine ended up in new york city. The police never caught the guys . They wore hoodies and ski masks and gloves. No. They never caught anything or anybody. The guns make their way up whats known os the iron pipeline, an illegal firearm trade route up interstate 95 from Southern States to new york. Theres an awful lot of gun violence in our country. In spite of attempts by lawmakers and police to shut it down, the pipeline remains open, and georgia is ground zero. Two new york city officers ambushed in their Police Cruiser in december were also killed by a georgia gun. What do you say to some politicians up north in the northeast like new york city that say, you know, these southern laws are way too lax and thats why our Police Officers up north are getting shot, and thats why bad guys are trading guns . Well, im going to tell you something, they got the same laws here as they do in new york for purchasing a gun. They are definitely most of lax down here. Why are they more lax here . The gun laws down here are lax because when you go to purchase a gun, i mean, its you can carry it anywhere you like if you have the proper permits. You cant do that in new york or chicago or anything like that. I tell what you, here, we believe in protecting yourself. Purchasing a firearm in the state of georgia is quite simple. All you need is a Georgia State i. D. O. Drivers license, you go through a background check and you could obtain a gun on line, no background checked at all. Georgia leads the country as a source of firearms used in crimes in other states. In 2013, 3,000 guns purchased legally in georgia were confiscated outside the state by police, with florida running just behind. According to data from the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms. They did not respond to a request for interview. I was shocked. Initially when i heard it was one of our guns. Upset it was a local gun that killed the officer in new york, the Police Captain said Law Enforcement needs more funding to fight gun running. Its clearly an issue. Yeah, you know, other than putting, you know, we have drug interdiction units out on the interstate that look for drugs and that basically stop cars and try to deter Drug Trafficking and people transporting large amounts of money and narcotics back and forth. Those same interdiction units are also looking for weapons other stopping folks for drugs. Is there enough of them . In my opinion, theres not enough Police Officers. Georgia state representative is the author of the safe carry protection law, which passed in april of 2014. It allows any georgia resident without a criminal record to purchase a firearm, obtain a permit and carry the weapon in almost all Public Places across the state. Critics have called it the Guns Everywhere law. There are some people that compare this gun trade up north to Drug Trafficking. Would you say its on that level . I dont know anything about it. I feel fortunate to say that ive never been in new york city, so i dont know anything. Really, i havent investigated or tried to look at what goes on up in the northeastern corridor. My bills that i sponsored have all been around georgia and how we can strengthen our law, make it fair for individuals, but most of all, make it effective, that the law that we have is easy to understand and effective. Maybe thats what they need a little state legislature up there in new york to work on theirs, too. Jasper says the iron pipeline and gun running is just media hype. I dont know that theres a barrage of weapons. I think thats another little tidbit thats thrown out there by Media Consultants and different people that are trying to make something out of this, when weapons that were unfortunately used recently were bought years ago legally, and then lost track of them, as do you. I mean, its we know who bought it initially, but subsequent owners, you dont know. 2800 firearms recovered in new york by about her rows have been traced back to georgia from 2005 to 2014. Clarence little wants to sell his pawn shop and since the robbery has set up better surveillance of his store. Theres nothing beck really do about it. The cops here in town, if they would spend more times in these areas where they sell guns, then you wouldnt have near the breakins youre having. Georgia law does not require the reporting of stolen guns, making it easy for people to buy guns legally, sell them to criminals and then later claim the gorgeous were stolen, making the iron pipeline even more difficult to clog and slow down. Were joined by Richard Feldman in florida, a former political director for the n. R. A. And author of ricochet, confessions of a gun lobbyist. Richard, thank you for being with us. Weve reported shootings be of all stripes this morning and a lot of people look at these incidents and conclude that there are just too many guns and theyre too easily available. What do you say . You know, there are close to 300 million firearms owned by over 100 Million People in this country. The problem isnt the number of guns. The problem is in whose hands are the guns that are being misused. If we focus on the problem carefully, we stand some chance of doing something about it, but we talk in generalities about big numbers, 100 Million People, 300 million firearms, were just. Iing our wheels and talking about nothing important. After every mass shooting, gun control advocates blame the n. R. A. And the n. R. A. s lobbying machine, which you were a part of. Is the n. R. A. As strong as it ever was with its influence on washington . I would say the n. R. A. And all the allied firearm folks in this country are probably stronger than ever in no small measure to the attacks that come from those who dont understand, who dont want to understand the nature of the problem we face in this country. Help us understand the nature of the problem as you see it. Well, its never the gun, but in whose hands are the guns . If we focus on the problems of Mass Shootings, crazy people who want to take as many folks with them, thats one set of issues to deal with. Does that mean more just stopping there, does that mean more background checks when it comes to policy . We certainly need to enforce the law and make sure that the law works better than its working today, but the real problem with the mass shooters are our Mental Health laws and a completely failed Mental Health system in this country that will require billions of dollars if were serious about the problem. Focusing on legitimate gun owners who dont ms. Use their guns will never fix the problem with those who do, because were looking in the wrong place. Do you think that the n. R. A. As an organization and of course there are a lot of people in the organization and the n. R. A. May not reflect the views of each member, but does the n. R. A. Care about Mass Shootings be and gun violence or just protecting gun owners rights at all cost . I think the n. R. A. Cares very much about this country. It certainly did when i was there. Im sure it does now, but the n. R. A. Is a group of four or 5 million americans, myself included, who say look, i dont want the government to interfere with my gun ownership. Ive never misused a gun. I have used a gun, both as a police officer, and as a civilian to protect myself and others. Thats what the law allows me to do, thats what ive done, obtaining guns for legitimate reasons has no impact on either criminals or the mentally deranged. Thank you for your insights this morning, appreciate your time. A reminder watch for special currently on the summer of the gun right here on Aljazeera America.

He also published dozens of books on Natural History and is considered to be a visionary conservationist. These days, Animal Rights activists argue controlled hunting leads to illegal activity, including poaching. The u. S. Used to be the center of illegal ivory trade, the ivory crush event in times square aims to bring attention to the plight of elephants killed by their tusks. There were 1. 2 million elephants, now less than 500,000. Every day, 96 elephants are killed, thats one every 15 minutes. Thats 35,000 a year. At this rate, elephants will go extinct. Everybody has to become active somehow. A filmmaker will release a documentary called racing extinction. The goal of his recent art event, a video projection covering 33 floors of the empire state this was to draw attention to the many species facing mass extinction. There are millions of animals that have gone through the same gauntlet of history as us and one species, ours is causing them to go extinct. I want to see just the exquisite beauty of them and fall in love with them. Al jazeera. The kill of cecil has brought a focus on illegal hunting and the conservation of endangered species. Lets bring in Nicole Mitchell for todays Environmental Impact report. Its not just lions, all the big cats have gained awareness from what happened to this one lion. National geographic kind of took a look at who learned what after this one big cat was killed, so most of the country heard about this story and over half reacted in some way on social media, signing pledges, 10 , 4 making donations to help these other animals. Heres specific numbers of what people learned. Did you know that they were in serious decline, not just lions, but tigers and other big cats. 41 have respondents were aware of that. 8 still thought it was false. Theres still education left to be done, but stories like this help people realize whats going on and also, another graph, as the result of the news coverage, how informed are you . More people feel informed, about 50 to 60 at least somewhat more informed about these issues. How will they impact things. Tigers are the one animal that is most severely instinct and these things still happen all the time. There was a cub shot last week by loggers. A lot of times, its farmers in the area, so that money raised will go into conservation efforts, teaching people as they inapproach these has been to get how to live along with the animals a little bit better and whats going on with their population.

The decision to move here wasnt always obvious. I blew it off as an old place where carriers go to sit down and talk about the good old days, and they didnt do anything. When i came to check it in 2003 and i came in january, it was total opposite and i just fell in love with it.
