Secretary of state Rex Tillerson has met with turkish president wretch of type aired on and on camera televisions visit coming amid rising tension between the nato allies over syrian kurds fighting the socalled Islamic State washington supports the white kid jihad group says they are a terrorist organization that must be expelled from the region. The suspect in Wednesdays School shooting in the United States. When the u. S. State of florida has been charged with seventeen counts of premeditated murder investigators are working to get a clearer picture of the gunman named as nineteen year old Nicholas Cruz hes reported to have had links to White Nationalist groups and he also posted a video on you tube saying that he was going to carry out a school shooting. The now familiar ritual of american grief one more mass shooting one more vigil to mourn the dead in parkland family and friends gathered to pay tribute to those who had their lives cut short these were the scenes that left this community in shock students and teachers ran for their lives as a heavily armed gunmen opened fire in the hallways some barricaded themselves in classrooms before being freed by Police Others were not as fortunate once we were escorted out of the question i did see two mr big body on the corner my eyes to the stairwell and i did see blood this is not acceptable this is something that is completely unacceptable and that we need to take action and we can say all these great things like we can dances and saying were so sorry for your loss it is obviously important but what we need at this point is not to say that anymore because there shouldnt be any more children that die we need to take action but President Trump gave no hint of action on gun control as he addressed the nation over the shooting. American family and us suffering. Is our burden also. No child no teacher should ever be in danger in an american school. No parent should ever have to fear for their sons and daughters when they kiss them goodbye in the morning. This is the moment authorities apprehended the suspect one thousand year old Nicholas Cruz a former student at the high school offered no resistance as he surrendered to police he had previously been expelled from the school he bragged about having guns and posted disturbing videos online the f. B. I. Earlier had received a tip about him in two thousand and seventeen the f. B. I. Which he built from a show about a comment made on you tube channel. Public comments that we. Are going to be a professional school who. Conducted database reviews checked with and if it was that mabel be further identify the person who actually made the comment. The f. B. I. Has launched an investigation into how it handled that tip that based on previous u. S. Shootings theres little evidence that this latest massacre will lead to any change in gun policy. And for more lets bring in our u. S. Correspondent carson phenomena standing by with the very latest in carson we understand that there are new details emerging about the suspect. The young suspect appeared in court today and as weve heard has been charged with seventeen counts of murder neighbors describe the young man as a very troubled kid apparently also aggressive on some occasions on at least one occasion his mother called in the police to calm him down then last year his mother died and he moved into another familys home and the family even allowed him to keep his guns apparently yet several of them according to some reports he also took part in military style drills with a White Nationalist group and one of the guns that he had and he bragged about repeatedly was the fifteen military style Assault Rifle that he used in the shooting at that school in florida. Now the issue of course of guns is really a hot button topic in the United States and thats perhaps an understatement in fact the president did not mention done control when he spoke a short time ago remind us where the debate stands today in the country. Well its actually quite a sad thing whenever Something Like this happens and happens and not in this country on average over the last few years at least once a week there is a shooting at a school here in the United States and whenever that happens we hear the same empty words from politicians about the whole terrible this is that is this a stretch treaded tragedy and that the thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families but then nothing happens really of course many politicians like democrats most of them or a few republicans are calling for tighter gun controls but even they are quite cautious but the they dont want to be seen as people who try to take the rights to bear arms which is sacred to so Many Americans and most republicans dont even want to consider any forms of reform detect its always the same of the opponents of stricter gun controls first they say this is not the time for Political Action theres a time for mourning and they say we need all the facts and they talk about Mental Health issues they bring up ideas like putting armed guards in front of schools or bus stations or hotels wherever the latest tragedy happened and then time goes by and Nothing Happened and this we see time and again every time after such an incident debbie is carson fine and thank you.
