sadness and the anger that we feel all right, mike is live at the white house, bring us the latest on this and the remarks of the president again, clearly touched. >> you are right and it was a fascinating to watch the president on such a grim occasion, he was by tournesol lemn angry you heard him talk remarkable startling something he divulged that he was personal friends with the rev rand that was murdered last night he was angry because this is a place of worship, invoking what herm thed the dark history of attacks on black churches. nine people being gunned down the president clearly moved and he was exacerbated about an issue that he has failed to make any progress on over

over the 6 1/2 years of his career and that is gun control. >> i have had to make statements of this too many times. two don't have all the facts but we do know that once again, innocent people, were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun. while at the same time he brought up that issue of gun control, he conceded there's very little he can do so the president appearing before he take as west coast fund raising trip clearly moving and emotional speech. >> okay, we also heard from the attorney general what didlor rettty lynch have to say? >> well, she appeared before the news was broken that the individual summited of

committing this act was apprehended in north carolina, just over the border with south carolina, she talked about the need for healing, for the communities to come together, she also made a plea for the citizens of the region to keep an eye out call the tip line if they had any suspicious activity, and to circulate the picture of the suspect as much as they could. and then later in the press conference she was informed that the suspect was apprehended and she broke that news right there. but she also divulged that the civil rights division is going to be investigating this as a hate crime, of course this goes along with the massive law enforcement effort that is already underway. the house has pass add bill that will let president obama move ahead on trade packs.

libby casey is live on capitol hill the us, today's vote is as you know the second time in a week that the house has passed this fast track authority. they tried a different strategy, they took it out of a larger trade package originally, this authority was paired with a bill to help workers through training and assistance who have been displaced by globalization. because it was the only way they could stand in the way of the overall trade package. which democrats have a lot of concerns about. so today republicans separated it out they got rid of the workers and they just voted. on the fast track trade, and a hand full of democrats who are pro trade, be uh this core group voted against it. the democrat of the house calling this a stale and old

argument. and we also heard from new jersey democrat bill summing up this feeling that it is deja vu all over again. but today this bill, to provide tax fairness for our law enforcement officers has been twisted. diminished to convene in a vehicle to run through fast track. >> this now goes over to the senate, we will see if the senate is willing to split up fast track trade authority out of this workers assistance, democrats will have a lot of problems with that, the question is can they do some more training and get a promise that that workers assistant bill can be brought up at a later date. >> the president has a long way to go on this. how unusual is that kind of a

fight. >> it is pretty unusual. we have heard republicans talking about how they are happy to be working with president obama on this one that's because their interests are aligned. not a typical scenario here in washington, and we can can see the democrats who are liberal, democrats who are in favor of unions the ones that are feeling left out in the cold, now speaker boehner addressed this question today about whether or not they are learning something through this process. take a look. >> describe proas of what has gone on in the last few weeks as close to bizarre. i don't think i have learned anything from it. >> and bizarre tony, because the house speakser not in a position of appraising president obama and now the president has been working the phones been taking personal meetings he was here in the capitol grounds last friday, trying to get democratic support that strategy hasn't worked so now they are trying a different avenue, the question is can

this trade bill get any further before congos on it's fourth of july recess which is right around the corner. >> all right libby casey for us, libby, thank you the supreme court has ruled that license plates are in fact government speech in a 5-4 decision, the justices said texas can refuse to issue certain vanity plates. it was in a battle over the rights of states states to let drivers choose specialty license plates. mow the group says the plates are a celebration of independence and texas deemed the plates offensive jonathon has more on the controversial that led to the decision. >> exercising the right to free speech, verses what others call offensive. >> white power. >> and even hateful. the latest battles about what

can appear on your license plate, this plate featuring a con fed rate battle flag is at the center of the case. >> different courts have come to different conclusions about how much freedom the authors of specialty places are permitted turn first amendment. >> the organization, the suns of con fed rate veterans proposed the design, but saying that many people found the flag offensive. at the part of the issue is free speech. >> the question in this case is whether a specialty plate that is designed by a private person, but approved by the government counts as private speech, or government speak. >> the state is violating it's first amendment rights. attorney r james george representing the sownes told the court i just don't think the government can discriminate based on content. the group says texas has a history of honoring vets. it is a state holiday in

texas, falling on january 19th, the birthday of general robert e. lee but texas general contends the state makes the plates and owns them. so these plates are government speech, and aren't protected by the first amendment. texas has it's name on every license plate, and car owners remain free to express any message they wish by attaching bumper sticks. >> specialty plates are big business for texas. bringing in over $17 million last year. the state has approved over 400 different messages from fight terrorism, to choose life. the real question is whether it -- texas really has to allow every license plate and so at the oil argument, a bunch of examples. would you have to have a license plate that says jihad. a license plate with a swastica, and the challengers said yes you would have to allow all of those.

european creditors over who is to blame for the impasse to unfreeze $8 billion in bail out funds greece needs that money now the imf piled the pressure on, saying it would consider greece in h default if it failed to make a $1.8 billion payment on time meanwhile demonstrators took to the streets wednesday urging their government to hold the line on new pension cuts and tax hikes europe is demanding in exchange for a deal. now the demonstrations came the same day as the central bank urged the government of prime minister, to accept europes conditions warning that the country can crash out of the euro zone and possibly leave the european union if it defoughts on it's debt. but there are no indications that sip press is going to and instituting catastrophic austerity measures. now this has hammered the

markets and greece has rushed to withdraw the savings but make no mistake the fall out of a greek default could stretch beyond greece and europe appoint underscore yesterday by fed share who warned that the global economy could experience significant disruptions if the creditors fail to reach a deal. there are a i have key meeting of european leaders all eyes are now shifting to that, but it is absolutely crunch time, the i.m.f. has definitely put the pressure on. >> patty appreciate it, thank you. a world price have climbed back to months of decline but they are still far below previous years that has had a big impact on economies. one example is the canadian province of alberta.

it is struggling with a lack of jobs and business. an empty factory now with prices low, welcome everybody has been layed out there will be no one here at all. >> very disappointed i guess to have all of that growth, chopped off just right at the knees here, just when things were getting good, we were getting a good reputation, and we had a very good crew at the local food bank, it is certainly busy, they are worried that donated supplies won't match demand all because unemployment is growing in an area that had too many jobs and not enough workers. here yes 80% of our clients are clients that have been layed off. everybody that was coming to us has been layed off. >> more than 30,000 have lost

jobs already, more are expected even if prices continue to stabilize and here is part of the impact, an election in early may brought a landslide victory for the socialist new democratic party surprise end the 44 years of conservative government in what has always been the most business friendly province. >> if you look at alberta's history, one thing stands out when there have been changes and even when there have been periods in which there was more political unrest, with say the rise of an opposition party, those do tend to correlate with economic hard times and that usually means low oil prices. >> oil is more than just a main stay, through boom and bust, it is part of the heritage. commemorated here at the site of the first strike in 1947. >> this' both concern about a

declining economy, and relentless optimism that oil prices will rise again, good times will return, as they have before but we know that once again this will change. it is just a matter of timing. >> low prices don't stop or even slow the extraction of oil, whether it is the tar sands of the north or conventional wells. company pros deuce more to keep their cash flow up, the reliance some say overreliance on this controversial resource, isn't going to change any time soon. daniel lack, al jazeera. >> the faa can soon be making a final decision on drones officials say the agency expects to finalize regulations by this time next year the rules would likely only apply to local flights. the burger chain known for
