connection as we find so often in the city and with this case. the pastor describes a former resident here, who was in that classroom when the shooting started. >> matthew was one of the young men in the classroom, the killer said "i'm not going to kill you today, i want you to hand the police an envelope." he said "go to the back of the room and watch." and he did. he stood as still as he could to not draw attention to himself as he witnessed the execution of his classmates. that was his first semester of college. he graduated from high school. went to college. that was his first week of school. >> this is a place that is very important to a lot of people. more than 40 residents are served now. up to 60 can be supported through the difficult winter months. it's not practical to reschedule the fund-raiser.

the pastor set up a go fund me account. donations are coming in, and they'll be matched on a 2-1 basis. we have an example of the impact of the shooting on campus of the people in the community, and an example of what we see all week long from people in the area, they want to help and contribute to find some way to help this city and community heal gun right supporters say shootings like the one in oregon would be less likely if students carry guns. texas is about to test that theory. college students will be allowed to carry guns. al jazeera's correspondent reports. >> reporter: starting next year, if you want to carry a concealed handgun to college and texas, you can. not everyone is happy about it. >> there are people at individual colleges and schools across texas that are for campus

carry. every campus and school is different. >> at austin, i don't think it should be allowed. >> this year they passed a law. now the university of texas is figuring out how to comply with the war. >> the chancellor felt it best not to allow concealed carry, i agreed with him. the law has been passed. our job is to comply with the law. to make our campus us as safe as we can. >> that means coming up with reasonable rules and regulations. like no guns in medical facilities, no guns in daycare centers and no guns in lab. nothing has been settled yet. a work group is expected to make the recommendations. >> guns trigger emotional reactions among people. last thursday's shooting in oregon certainly heightened and intensified people's fears.

and with good reason steve good is in charge of creating the gun-free zones at ut, and says it may not be as big an issue as some think. to get a concealed carry licence, you have to be 21. >> half of our students fall within the age demographic. we anticipate fewer than 1% of students on campus will have concealed carry licences, much less will carry their handguns if they have a licence on premises. >> that could mean 500 students in a population of 52,000. i don't think ut would become the wild west. she said the new law was a smart decision. it is about a decision in the pest interests of their safety. and being able to sponsor

self-defence. >> reporter: jordan, against students with guns on campus disagrees. >> this is not going to make us safe. despite the rhetoric that adding guns to a situation, to a university campus would keep people safe, whether it's young women walking home from class by themselves, or in the case of an active shooter or walking through campus from work to home to class, adding more firearms to the situation does not do anything to protect the safety. >> for nearly 20 years students carry onsealed weapons on campus, but not in buildings. the new law does not allow for open carry. that has not left much of the student body happy. >> it's a funny situation. it feels like it's a decision made for us, when we were against it. it was phrase said as in is to protect -- phrased as this is to predict you. even though the chancellor was vocally against it, then president powers was against it.

it was a decision made not with our voices in mind joining us now is a professor of the economics at the university of texas at austin. >> thank you so much for your time. you submitted your letter of resignation this past week. you made it clear that you felt unsafe with the university's decision to expand the policy, to bring a concealed weapon on campus. you made it clear that you have been feeling this way for a long time. why are you making a decision to leave now? >> couple of reasons. first of all, this law only was passed in, i think, late may. it was discussed most of the year. it goes in effect a year from now. second i'm 72, i have a lot of opportunities, and the increased risk that this law poses of having a student in the

classroom and in my office with a gun, getting upset, given the number of students i teach is not worth it. critics say the policy applies to people that are 21 years old and older. so i don't know, what does that mean for the students that you deal with? >> i deal with 18-year-olds, many of them. probably 400. we see each year those that are 21 or older. oftentimes those are some of the most happy people. my concern is i'll get people in my office that are unhappy about a grade on a mid term. a lot get agitated. i worry if guns are in their pocket legally or illegal legally, and they are allowed to bring them into blocks, they may get upset and pull a gun on me. >> do you feel you have an

adequate amount of support for your position? good grief, yes. i have gotten huge numbers of not anonymous, but emails from people i don't know. four to one in favour of it, regarding that they are glad to see me go. i teach a noncontroversial course. over the years it's been well received, and i have substantial university wide teaching rewards. i'm unhappy to leave because the students at the school are terrific, the policies are, i think, ridiculous. this does not help the university of texas, this policy. >> do you think it will hinder recruiting in any way. >> it will hinder recruiting of faculty. they want to hire people with a lot of alternatives. ask yourself. if you have a number of equal alternatives, and one poses a risk. you'll not take that risk and go elsewhere. i had an email from a mother in

connect who said her daughter had been thinking of going in, and was pushing it. when she read about the policy, she said it's not safe, the daughter has a lot of sources. they will lose students and faculty. a kind that will improve the situation. what is depressing is it happens so frequently now that we are getting immune to it, it doesn't affect us. i think obama hit the nail on the head a week or so ago. it was something they were trying to live with, and shouldn't have to be that way. >> what would you say to critics who say if people were armed on campus, they wouldn't be able to neutralize the situation. >> two things on that. would they have drawn fast enough. secondly, would they be in the position of killing someone, or randomly shooting at a gunman.

i don't want myself put into that position by someone that says i should arm myself. it's not fair to me. it's an impingement upon my freedom. >> thank you: >> president obama targeted a peace rally in the capital killing 90 people. we'll have a report with the latest on the situation. the government response. rising security fears. and new regulations to protect the wildlife could put an end to cultures and traditions in that region.

president obama expressed condolences to turkey over the suicide bombing in the capital ankara. at least 95 were killed, 246 wounded. it's happening outside a train station. they have been attended a peace rally, organized by pro-kurdish and pro-opposition groups. al jazeera's mohammed jamjoom is there and joins us. this is the third attack on a pro-kurdish event in four months. i know you spoke to activists at the rally. how concerned are they that something like this will happen

again? >> they are very concerned. i spoke to an activist who is here when the blasts occurred today. he said that he believed that the rallies will continue, but he believes they'll continue to also be targeted. he said that many of the activists out here earlier today had been concerned that they may be targeted. as you mentioned, this is the third such rally that has been targeted, attacked since june. and july was a very large suicide blast that happened on turkey's border on syria. we were there in the aftermath of that blast. in that attack, also pro-kurdish activists and kurdish activists targeted again today that happened in ankara in the capital. because in is happening at a time of heightened security, and the security situations questioned across turkey, now you have many of the people you

hear today and many that plan to attend other rallies who are concerned that these types of attack may continue to happen in the weeks ahead. >> the turkish government is calling for unity. obviously this is a difficult time. how realistic is it that there'll be unity as the tensions are obviously increasing. how can there be unity in the predomina predominantly kurdish areas. how did they get so bad? >> it will be tough. not only across the political spectrum at a time a few weeks from now when you have snap parliamentary elections, that is causing tensions in the political area of turkey, at a time of mounting violence, especially as you mentioned in the south-east part of turkey, what happened, after the blast that we spoke about, that happened in turkey on the border

with syria in july, you have the turkish government go after the p.k.k., which is the outlying kurdistan workers party, considered a terrorist organization here. you have an aerial bombardment of p.k.k. targets in northernle iraq and other parts of turkey, and had the p.k.k. hit back. they have killed dozens of turkish security forces in the past few months, especially in the south-east. that caused tensions. it's underscoring how tenuous the security situation remains in turkey, at a time when the election will happen. a lot of concern and worry that unity is not something that can be maintained. >> that report live from turkey. we are joined allowyy lieu -- louie fisher. president obama is calling it a

terrorist attack. the pro-kurdish port is blaming the state. is there a clear indication of who would have done something like this. >> thank you for having me. >> awful. >> 95 killed, and sadly it was not a surprise. the scope of it was. there has been two attacks, two bombing attacks on supporters, and there has been many attacks on the election officers, burnt to the ground with no police intervention, including human rights violation against a civil population in the war with the p.k.k. we have a dark period, i would say in turkish history, and we know in the midst of election campaigns, we can snap elections coming up. this is a crucial type of. yes, of course, we'll call this a terrorist attack, and we have to assume this is a terrorist attack. the htp is saying it was state motivated. we have to, at the same time, point out that with the media

clampdown and the ban on talking about the attack. this encourages other people to think about other possible options of state, if the state was involved in this. meaning, if you have yesterday, for example, today's editor was arrested for assaulting the president. if we put in the context of this, and six or seven channels taking off capable programs, we see that it's a picture, not one that turkey could imagine, i think, about two or three years ago. let me point out that the major opposition had people killed today in the protest. the head of the atp, the head of the c.h.p., and starting

tomorrow there'll be protests, funerals throughout the country. together, with the funerals, recently of the numerous army and police officers that have been killed by p.k.k. attacks. but we have a tense situation in turkey. it's not good at all. in the end the government needs to take responsibility. >> what will the environment be like, between now and the elections, particularly speaking of security. what can you expect the government to do to keep people safe between now and elections. >> we have seen this they are not able to keep people safe. when the election officers were attacked and burnt down, there was no state intervention. the opposite has been done. the prime minister and the president sat on a campaign of demilitarization of the party in order to get the votes back. >> i think we shouldn't expect

something of this scope to happen. >> will there be rallies will people be scared. >> somewhere in there mind they'll visit a peace rally. i have to say i, myself, was a bit nervous, we had the two bombings ahead of that. we had the young socialist. a suicide bomber, and the day before, two days before there was an election rally where two people were killed. the people that are going to this, they in their minds had a sense of fear, and they are defiant to show the turkish democratic system will work, and will be part of the parliamentary system. >> thank you for joining us, we appreciate it very much 150,000 people took to the streets in germany to protest a trade agreement.

the trans-pacific partnership creating a large trade zone comprising 12 countries acting to 40% of the world said trade economy. jonah hull reports. >> reporter: it may sound dull, but if you live in europe or the united states you ought to know about the transatlanic trade and investment party nership. an agreement -- partnership, an agreement negotiated behind closed doors, aiming to harmonise trade atlantic rules and standards. here in berlin tens of thousands are out on street because they think it's a bad idea. they are wary of what one campaigner called an all-out assault on society by transnational companies. >> when it's concluded next year. t tip will create the world's largest free agent zone. a market of 800 million people that could at 100 billion to economic output on both sides of

the atlantic. in practice, it could effect everything from jobs to your income, health care to the food you eat. and there are many critics. >> i'm not sure if it will happen all that quickly, that my urgent advice to everyone who wants rules for globalization is you can't be nervous when it comes to negotiating with the mothland of globalisation. as a european, you must consciously engage with the issue. >> we fear that the social standards, especially the standards for workers, will decrease. we like how it's undermining the democracy and getting power to the big companies. >> you don't believe what the government tells you - are they telling you anything. >> they don't tell us something. so far what has been leaked is really bad. >> they argue that parity, all that will be achieved is

mediocrity. on this side of the atlantic, eroding the laws, while on the other side weakening traditional stiffer financial regulations in the u.s. the winners, they say, big business. >> and that is not all. controversialry, t tip is negotiated in secret. a trojan horse driven into the heart of economies and lives. no one knows what is inside. >> meanwhile, president obama is defending the transpacific partnership. obama argues the trade zone will make it easier for businesses to sell their products overseas. 95% of the world's consumers live outside the borders, they want to guy american products, they want our cars, music and food. if american businesses can sell more in those markets, they can expand and support the jobs at

home. >> opponents of the deal, ranging from labour and environmental groups argue that it will kill american jobs. >> a governor tells people to stay off the roads after a round of rain. the precautions the state is it taking after the worst flooding history an anti-muslim protest at mosques and community centers across the countries. in one city they were met with more pro-muslim protesters. >> if they get a little dirty, so what. >> we have shackles, we have a spit bag. >> they're still having nightmares. >> if you can't straighten out your kids... >> they're mine. >> this is the true definition of tough love.

>> gang life... this was our f

in response to today's nation of islam rally in washington d.c., celebrating the 20th anniversary of the million man march, an anti-muslim group urged supporters to stage rallies to protest the islamization of america. >> reporter: they call themselves the global rally for humanity. an innocuous sounding term for a hate crew that posts images on their facebook page. urging anti-islam rallies to be side. staged. one group followed the call. organizers say they were associated with oath keepers, a

militia group gaining prominence during the ferguson, missouri protest. volunteer members, armed with semiautomatic rifles, patrolled the streets. they wanted to protest in front of the islamic center of america, a large mosque. they couldn't get permits in time. they settled for michigan avenue, near the new city hall. >> on friday the mayor published an open letter to the community, urging citizen not to participate. and wrote: [ chanting ] >> reporter: in the end the community listened, despite a call for action. only about 12 anti-muslim protesters showed up. >> there may not be a lot of people here, but we are many.

>> marchia came to protest migrants allowing refugees into the u.s. >> 97% of people let in as refugees are muslim. 3% are christian. >> reporter: will you let the 3% in? >> absolutely, they are being persecuted. their heads are being cut off. >> reporter: protestors were outnumbered. there was. -- much bluster in advance of the event. things could have been worse. in may, anti-muslim protesters surrounded a mosque in phoenix, spewing hate and intimidating more. afterwards, christian and jewish religious leaders gathered to promote religious tolerance and understanding. a message that officials welcome. >> after the anti-islam rally, deer born's police chief was

proud that residents stayed away. most of the protesters were from out of town. >> more than 600 protesters clash in the streets of bendigo australia over a proposal to build a mosque in that city the opponents to the mosque were confronted by demonstrators, a public debate has been drawing around the country, following the killing of a teenager who shot and killed a police officer. >> faith is and must be a positive force in the community, serve to promote cohesion, respect and compassion. extremism destroys the virtue of faith in the community. individual muslims this preach hatred of others, christians, jews and others, threaten to undermine prosperity and security. >> the prime minister is

planning to hold a meeting next week aimed at countering the wave of extremism. >> a slow-moving low-pressure system that brought more rain to flood-ravaged south carolina is wrapping up. totals are expected to be between one and 3 inches, 3500 national guards men are expected out. another 500 due to arrive from north carolina. the death toll in the floods increased to 19. >> the challenges are revealing about the true heart and soul. this is south carolina showing what her heart and sole looks like through her people. i want to remind all of you that as we are going through this, and as the days got long, we will get through this. >> the governor announced that the closure has been expanded to 95 miles, the i-95 corridor is crucial to commerce along the

east coast. kevin corriveau is here with more. >> we didn't need the more rain that came, starting last night. we thought we'd get a bigger break last monday. take a look at the satellite. you can see across the united states there's two places where it's raining, up here to the north-west and down here in the carolina. take a closer look. the area of low pressure that we are talking about, you can see that circumstance u lights that has been -- circulation that has been pushing through georgia, produced rain across the region, particularly the western part of columbia and the. and we have seen between 1-3 inches of rain just in the last 24 hours: we do think that later in the evening. they will be watching and flash flood warnings are, in effect,

extingts because of new -- extinction because of new federal regulations that will ban the air boats used for transportation and to make a living. >> frogs, stuff of that nature - all that culture will disappear in the area, it will be gone. >> reporter: the federal government is concerned about pollution and preservation in the everglades. >> it has to do with impacts to wildlife, to the quality of the visitor experience, so the noise, the pollution, the impacts ever a loud vessel affects the animal's behaviour, and function in a natural setting. [ singing ] the gladesman culture is so distinct that there was a tv show about them in the 1960s. jessie cannon worked on the show. he's 70 years old, a man born and raised in the marshes. his family has been guiding tourists through the lush

pathways of the everglades since the 1940s. >> it's not fair because it's a part of the everglades that has been here forever. gladesmen used it, and taking care of it as much as possible. they've been custodians of it. >> for more than 20 years, an area of the everglades, known as the eastern extension, has been the only place where air boat operators have been allowed to give tours. since mechanized strikeses and hunters have been banned since 1934, the year it was designated as the national park. in 1989 congress ordered the park service to come up with a comprehensive management plan, now it is ready to be implemented, meaning the end of private airboating, except a handful of captains that can prove they used the air in 1989. they'll be given non-transferrable permits. >> the everglades is 1.5 million acres in eyes.
