Police say officers killed the gunman who was on the thirty second floor of a hotel across from the concert venue authorities dont believe there are any more shooters lets listen in to what they have to say. We are comfortable that the primary aggressor in this event is has expired or passed away and he is no longer a threat there has been multiple multiple phone calls and accusations or conjecture coming through social media that there is multiple shooters at other result resorts that has been proven to be false it was a police there in las vegas speaking a little bit earlier and we had the opportunity to speak to an eyewitness as well a devon gray was at the concert when the shots started ringing out heres what he told us. Well because it was going on. The artist was up on stage playing obviously and we heard it sounded like firecrackers pierce the first the artists kept saying name firecrackers kept coming in that is just stopped and then people started panicking i mean it was just a pandemic i mean people got down cops reality there i mean people are just scattered everywhere. We hunkered in place its until most a crowd was gone and police pretty much had the area cleared of people and we were able to make it to my truck at that point and as soon as we manage my truck there were a couple of people hunkered down by cars with injuries we need to transport to the hospital so a lot of them in the back of the truck and we made it out to the boulevard. And mystery thats las vegas boulevard theres an officer there that was so assist to prevent. This to the hospital with the wounded. Im not you know im not the only got to do this with a truck theres lots of other people trucks are. The same thing. It was just. I have no words for travel. Right there was in our witness devon grace speaking to doug w. A little bit earlier and again the police in las vegas saying that a gunman has opened fire at a concert killing at least twenty people injuring more than one hundred oh well keep an eye on that developing story and bring you the very latest updates as they come in to us turning to some other news now and spain is a facing a constitutional crisis after a day of chaos in catalonia weasel authorities there say ninety percent of people who voted in a referendum on catalonia future backed independence that is despite efforts by the police to stop them from casting ballots clashes left more than eight hundred people injured madrid says the vote did not amount to a referendum leaving catalonia and spain itself in disarray. Independence supporters celebrate this as their victory preliminary results are out they show an overwhelming win for an independent catalonia hold according to the you girls two million twenty thousand one hundred forty four votes are in favor of the yes. But this means ninety percent of the voters are in favor of independence. Of the over two million catalans who managed to cast their ballot on sunday with or to say only seven point eight percent voted no to independence people across the region are cheering but spain remains firm in rejecting the referendum as in constitutional and illegal. Spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy denied it even happened or you know we dont. There was no selfdetermination referendum in catalonia. Today the spanish people saw that the rule of law in spain is strong and valid and that it answers those who try to attack it and it acts within the boundaries of the law against any provocation. And the people they provoke a few. But the Prime Minister came under criticism as images like these began circulating on sunday tensions escalated as police tried to prevent catalans from casting ballots the authorities smashed their way into polling stations to seize ballot boxes later catalonian authorities declared independence is at hand. But i thought we i dont this isnt a of hope and suffering cut alone as citizens have earned the right to have an independent state in the form of a republic hence my government in the next few days will send the results of todays vote to the Catalan Parliament where the sovereignty of our people lies so that it can act in accordance with the law of the referendum. To you know. All you got afforded them Catalan Independence supporters celebrate a vote that has no official meaning in the rest of spain. Lets go to the spanish capital were journalist Martin Roberts is standing by for us hi martin we saw dramatic pictures of violence so how have people in spain been reacting. Well id say that widespread shock well into a sixth sense of what to say to save us. Images that you mentioned earlier in circulation or ever well also marking a place of concern were entering a chance at territory because on the one hand you know were both sides say mainly on a collision course with the really wanting to climb down you know on the one hand youve got the castle and government saying that theyre going to have to also a declaration of independence and yesterday i think the clear message that ron howard says and indeed in the speech that you just posted is that he will use all means available so couldnt happen and no one might you know we heard claims that ninety percent of catalans actually voted before independence how valid is that number where most people even able to cast their ballots. Well the first criticism about were the actual turnout were barely more high what it was were a Regional Elections were held two years ago. You know the numbers who voted for independence were. Seven percent of the electoral row now course in the Police States close several polling stations so about my averages there are real numbers of me of a ham. A last minute ruling to introduce council and government was that people could vote in any polling station whatsoever and critics say that there was absolutely nothing to stop people from seeing several times as being no reliable count of second place. Money said neither side is backing down here what will happen now you know what does this where does this leave money on a high as government. Well hes going to be meeting with. Opposition Party Leaders later today separately. The socialist party who are the number two in the parliament you know armisen. Those are the ones who have been reluctant late allowing raul.

The pressure youre watching your be more at the top of the hour. Stories that the world over information they provide the pinions they want to express g. W. On facebook and twitter up to date and in touch follow us. Muslims to blame islam on a case to try to rescue democracy. A peace that was nothing of the kind. Was. The first german democracy was on the edge of bankruptcy and of civil war. He had to assert himself against the enemies of democracy and above all against one of them i dont get what were talking about the rights chancellor. Strays in the. Last. November nine hundred twenty three the leader of the National Socialists tried to topple the government in berlin. You know she was just so it was god. That very same night chancellor strays a man called a crisis meeting yeah thats not evidence that i give you that enough and which pushed it to. The president just how. Do you think you would know this is a. Last. Night as a nation this is perceived. The president and the chancellor hebert and strays a man had to act. On the night of the eighth the ninth of november one thousand nine hundred twenty three the future of the german republic was at stake and he of all people had to come to its rescue. Strays and im. A man who joining the world war had been an aggressive. Nationalist who wanted a world wide german empire who believed in the monarchy and lamented its collapse. And now he had composed an appeal for the republic and against hitler. In this hour as just any of the german people we exhort all friends of the fatherland to commit to the preservation of the unity of their ice and to german freedom is it as bad as that. Yes. We dont know what the next day will bring. But i will not give in. He knew that hitler wanted him out his wife feared for his life kate and gustav strays and had been married for twenty years and once before his turbulent korea had nearly come to an end. Its a gotten off to a dream start at twenty eight strays a man was the youngest member of the rush tack the German Parliament like the kaiser he dreamed of a world wide german empire. When war broke out in the one nine hundred fourteen he demanded conquests in east and west when it was clear that the war was lost he too wanted to restrict the power of the kaiser but he didnt welcome the republic that was proclaimed on the ninth of november one thousand nine hundred eighteen. Was one of them. Was a very brazen man found himself marginalized it seems as with the end of the imperial regime a mans whole world collapsed. For him personally if the end of the war brought a hiatus in his career. And february nine hundred nineteen the freely elected German National assembly met environment the city made famous by good turner and schiller strays him and was the chairman of the newly formed German Peoples Party which wanted a Constitutional Monarchy but now it was the social democrats like friedrich hebert who had to say. That. I thought that id either but. I gave up right where i am. Here. In the National Assembly the advocates of a republic had a two thirds majority based on the social democrats the left liberals and the Catholic Center party staffs throws a man and his German Peoples Party mourns the passing of the old days as a result many saw him as yesterdays man. Made him feel snubbed could anything from god as cannot this to start over. For the first time women could also vote and stand for election just coming out. Of the. Strays a man had gone to weimar with mixed feelings to his wife he wrote today was the solemn opening of the German National assembly or rather should have been in my heart when i live in the old days and it hurts to see how everything has changed and that. These feelings were not shared by most. Of the deputies in the next six months they created the legal basis for the new state the constitution of the Weimar Republic the government was no longer responsible to the kaiser but to parliament for the first time in german history sovereignty lay with the people. The new constitution aimed to take up where the failed revolution of eight hundred forty eight had left off reviving the ideals of the National Assembly that had met in the polls kisha in frankfurt the colors black red gold stood for the tradition of freedom in germany and now they wear the colors of the Weimar Republic. But the shadow lay over the new beginning. In the spring of one thousand nine hundred nineteen the victorious powers of the First World War met in verse signed the germans hoped for a soft peace now that the kaiser had abdicated in vain. Unlike america and britain france wanted to weaken germany decisively for its own security. The hall of mirrors in the palace of sign. It was here that the german empire was proclaimed after the victory over france in eight hundred seventy one it was here that bismarck declared a united germany. Half a century later france had its revenge in the same hole now the germans were the defeated party. The representatives of the Weimar Republic had no choice they were forced to acknowledge germanys sole guilt for the war and accept harsh peace terms. The new republic was forced to take on the legacy. Of the old empire. Here two strays him and oppose the government. Hes in we may be lost if we do not sign the peace treaty of easy but he will certainly be lost if we dont. Stray them and was unwilling to accept the consequences of a war he had welcomed under the terms of the verse i treaty french belgian and british troops occupied the german rhineland as a guarantee of security germany was forced to pay reparations and lost one seventh of its territory in the west alsace and lorraine was ceded to france in the east posen west prussia and part of upper silent easier to the newly constituted poland but really godless of course there were a whole lot of stipulations in this treaty one might criticize but these problems could have been overcome with patients and skillful diplomacy among t. V. However that was difficult in view of the nationalist undercurrent his views and thats you know just. Germany was shaken by attempted coup detat the extreme right blame the representatives of democracy for losing the war. Foreign minister of walter ratan now was assassinated as was the former finance minister mark ts ants bagga. The accusation was that the victorious troops had been stabbed in the back by democrats and socialists. Fake news. That wonderful the difference between environment and day lies in the political culture in those days and it was usual in many circles to create fundamentally opposing positions and to resort to violence relatively quickly. The nationalists propaganda had an effect. In the first elections to the new rush tag in june one nine hundred twenty the party is supporting the republic social democrats left liberals and center lost their majority the opponents on the fringes gained votes including strays a mans German Peoples Party who share went up from four to fourteen percent making it a force to be reckoned with and the potential Coalition Partner but for whom strays and sense that extremism whether from left or right would drive the state over the edge he realised the republic was a compromise but one worth defending for the sake of internal peace and that rejection was no solution. Treason mondeo and see what it costs him it includes and at the end of the war in one thousand nine hundred eighteen it looked as if there is a man was finished but in one thousand nine hundred twenty he was back in the right stock with this party and straight away they helped the key to the Weimar Republic because the actual supporters of the republican social democrats left liberals and catholics zantac no longer had a majority yet. They were dependent on one of the parties that had originally opposed to know theres a public option just like strays a mans Peoples Party. But the crunch didnt come until nine hundred twenty three a year of crisis for the young republic so far only the rhineland had been occupied but in january nine hundred twenty three french and belgian troops marched into the room officially they only wanted to secure a guarantee for the payment of unpaid reparations berlin urged passive resistance two million workers in the ruhr came out on strike the states paid their wages they didnt actually have the money. So it simply printed it which sent the value of the mark tumbling. The resistance was welcomed across party lines the rule was germanys industrial heartland. Whoever controlled the roar control germanys economy the french were well aware of this and fear of their neighbor might become too strong once more. But now the machines were standing idle. In february nine hundred twenty three strays a man went to dortmund to firm up support for passive resistance in the occupied territory for papi. The prominent politician had to reckon on being arrested so he travelled on false documents. Long. Day here comes. This you know. His school. Is like a friend of his he holds. Only. The situation in the rule was coming to a head. Because of the customs posts food was scarce the French Military set up soup kitchens to gain support but these two were boycotted. By progress and order of the project. After i got kind of life i should. Thank. The mood was explosive there were acts of sabotage clashes deaths. In berlin to the situation was tense in august nine hundred twenty three the government stepped down because of the rule crisis. President friedrich hebert had to nominate a new chancellor it was a tough decision only a Broad Coalition taking in both the Peoples Party and the social democrats seem to have any prospects but for that he needed strays a man on side a vote hesitated. A Mission Money is divide the fansite and us off never. Having me im getting. Feeding extremist as i keep pointing to has exploded
