Why fran i want to express to the victims victims families. The Day Community our great sympathy. This is a heartbreaking tragedy. And it is that type tragedy that. Never comes to your state or to your community. And efficient joins us live from washington d. C. Alan the u. S. Still reeling from 2 Mass Shootings in this labor 12 hours. Exactly the police in ohio been giving more details of the shooting thats just happened in the last. There were 5 men and 4 women killed 6 of them black the oldest was 57 the youngest was 2200 names well it was meghan betts and she is the sister of corner the man who carried out the shooting he was 24 he walked through a very busy downtown area in dayton ohio he was armed with a gun at a high powered rifle they say with many bullets in reserve and he also wore body armor the police say that if there hadnt been a Quick Response and they were on scene less than a minute after getting the 1st american c. Call the number of People Killed in dayton ohio on saturday night could have been much greater. Many americans went to bed shocked by the deaths in el paso and walk on sunday to news of another mass shooting this time dayton ohio 9 dead more than 20 wounded the shooter killed as well hed walk through a busy area pipe with bars and nightclubs firing indiscriminately and we dont know the thoughts of the shooter at this time we know that he was wearing body armor and had high capacity magazines and. Right now our focus is on the families and friends frankly that went. To town town on saturday night and thought that they go home safe and they didnt happen the president was fully briefed and tweeted out the f. B. I. Local and state enforcement are working together in el paso and in dayton ohio information is rapidly being accumulated in dayton much has already been learned in el paso Law Enforcement was very rapid in both instances updates will be given throughout the day the man being held for the el paso shooting is a 21 year old white male police and federal authorities are trying to confirm if he posted a racist anti immigrant anti hispanic screed to an extremist web site just hours before the shooting one democratic president ial candidate back to ork who comes from el paso says the president bears the responsibility for that shooting the president s language his rhetoric has produced the kinds of hate crimes that we saw you know passe yesterday but weve been seeing across this country theyve been on the rise for each one of the last 3 years so we cannot act as though this were just some kind of Natural Disaster or a matter of course for this country or the new normal for the United States but the president s chief of staff dismissed that idea i dont think its fair to try to lay this at the feet of the president i think there are people in this country this morning thinking that President Trump was was was happy by this thats a sad sad state of this nation hes angry hes. Said he wants to stop. I dont think its all fair to sit here and say that that he doesnt he doesnt think that White Nationalism is bad for the nation dayton and el paso are no different changed forever part of the list of places in america where they have suffered experienced lived through shootings and with the president ial election 15 months away changing americas gun laws may become part of the bigger conversation. Sherrod brown who is the democratic senator from ohio has called on the senate to give up its summer recess to return immediately in this cus passing laws that would alter back growing checks on those who want to buy guns across the United States a similar measure has already passed the Democratic House but there is no sight that the republicans want to even consider coming back to do that and Mitch Mcconnell has already said he doesnt see any merit in what has passed through the house of representatives and interestingly throughout sunday republicans have been on the main talk shows here talking about how there has to be new legislation on video games that donald trump after the parklane shooting a year or so ago he sat around a table invited the media and as he listened to people whove been affected by gun violence and 9 times he said that he was willing to consider changing the law on background checks the next day he met with the National Rifle association and that idea seemed to disappear those who want a change in the law are hoping that because the president ial election isnt just 15 months time there may be someone who wants to stand up and talk about how they can change gun laws and they would have the support of the majority of American People most of them say that they would like to see some sort of change to stop the shootings that weve seen in el paso in texas and dayton ohio over the last 24 hours and fisher thank you very much. All right reynolds is in el paso he joins us now live whats the latest on the investigation there oh. Well lauren the chief of police of El Paso Greg Allen says that the alleged shooter in this case the suspect is name is patrick hes 21 years old from a suburb of dallas is cooperating fully with investigators and his interrogators allen says is Holding Nothing back meanwhile a federal prosecutor said that the federal government is considering charges against bruce just that could carry the Death Penalty heres u. S. Attorney john bash. We are also treating this as a domestic terrorist case as a statutory definition of domestic terrorism 18 u. S. C. 2331 this means that it appears to be designed to intimidate the civilian population to say the least were treating it as a domestic terrorism case and were going to do what we do the terrorists in this country which is deliver swift and certain justice. Now lauren the authorities have also told us that the rifle that was carried by the gunman in his rampage throughout the shopping area which was described by many eyewitnesses as appearing to be a k 47 type of rifle was purchased legally the police chief didnt say where cruz has got the gun but it was purchased legally and its also relevant to the discussion that you were having with alan a few moments ago about gun laws and gun control it is relevant to note that in the state of texas it is perfectly legal for a person to walk around on the streets openly carrying a rifle in his hand so what might be something shocking in another state or in another country that is a man striding towards a store carrying an automatic rifle type of weapon is in texas something thats entirely legal and people may have thought. Much less of it that it was much less dangerous than it of course turned out to be right reynolds thank you very much indeed. Taki has announced its carrying out a military operation against a candidate that y p g in an area east of the Euphrates River and syria events it would be and chris said attempt to snatch kurdish fight as close to its border. So good i didnt shoot about it is they do to me the Opposition Leader warned us against entering afrin and we did then we entered jobless and then city and now we will enter the east youre free. Yes we have talked to russia and the United States because we cannot remain silent with the continuation of the provocative strikes that come from that area we have been patient but our patience has limits. Why p. G. Has been an important u. S. Ally in the battle against eisel but turkey sees it as a terrorist group saying holder has the latest from gaziantep. Turkey is growing impatient to believe that there is a National Security threat along its borders and it wants to deal with that threat president or the guns statement is just another its just another really in a series of threats being made by turkish officials that they will carry out a cross border operation in the east of the euphrates area an area under the control of the Syrian Armed Group the white p. G. A group turkey considers a terrorist organization and and an affiliate of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party the p. K. Case so for turkey it is a National Security threat then it has carried out cross Border Operations in syria over the past 2 years but on both occasions the area of operations was under the sphere of influence of russia turkey and russia cooperate in syria but east of the euphrates is an area under the control of the United States which is allied with the white people so this this issue really is testing and already frail relationship between nato allies turkey and the United States theyve had meetings over the past few months turkey accusing the United States of stalling a new delegation is arriving in ankara for further talks on monday but whether or not they can find Common Ground its hard to see because deep differences remain over a planned safe zone theyre discussing a plan safe zone turkeys and system thats 20 kilometers deep in turkey can insist that they it controls the zone which is something the United States has so far not to accept that. Irans revolutionary guard say they have seized an iraq oil tanker that was smuggling fuel in the gulf and they say the vessel was intercepted near irans fasi island carrying 700000 liters of fuel or 7 crew members on the ship have been detained this would be the 3rd seizure by iran in less than a month and gulf waters. Has more now from the iranian capital. The revolutionary guards Media Relations department have released a statement saying that they have seized a vessel that theyve accused of trying to smuggle 700000 liters of fuel this seizure apparently took place near the island of farsi island which is in between iran and saudi arabia and it parenting happened on wednesday the revolutionary guards said that they seized this vessel and the 7 crew members on board and this vessel is currently now at the port city of shared the 7 people they have been arrested in iran and their National Police have not been revealed yet this is another example of how the revolutionary guard have exerted their power and strength and willingness to carry out the security and safety of the waterways around iran this is the 3rd vessel that they have seized in the past month earlier on sunday the Government Spokesperson ali rai spoke about the latest sanctions on the Mohammad Javad zarif that have been imposed by the u. S. Government and the invitation that was extended to the foreign minister while he was visiting new york at the United Nations earlier this month lets hear what he had to say. Because the u. S. Action on foreign minister zarif is against all diplomatic procedures and is an unprecedented event in the history of diplomacy that one government keeps claiming to be ready for negotiations and then to put sanctions on a foreign minister of that country well isnt that ridiculous he was invited by a senator to have a meeting at the white house then they impose sanctions on him foreign minister zarif is responsible for Foreign Policy and the diplomatic path should pass through him. The feeling here is that the sanctions that have been imposed on the foreign minister are another example of how the United States doesnt really understand the power structure in iran the c excuse that was given for the sanction was that the foreign minister is not a person they want to negotiate with and they were looking for someone higher up now the officials here have said that if they think the u. S. Government is going to negotiate with anybody else other than the foreign minister who is tasked with hold the negotiations with western powers theyre very much mistaken the position here is that the foreign minister is not going to hold any kind of talks with u. S. Officials until the United States lifts its sanctions on iran which theyve imposed since they withdrew from the nuclear deal last year the ukrainian say that the u. S. Government has waged economic terrorism on iran and until they seize this behavior there will be no discussions held between the 2 countries.
