so killing penguins. bring smiles but it's number one culprit in the global health crisis cardiovascular disease number one killer already i would say the hardest part is just that we think of that but there is the same if we prove that sugar increases risk factors this is a problem no at this time. at least fifty people have been killed two hundred others have been injured in a mass shooting in las vegas.

hello welcome to our visitor live from scene that is also coming up. celebrating victory in catalonia voted to leave for leave spain but could their joy the short lived. palestinian reconciliation a senior faster delegation go to hamas controlled gaza to try to end the ten year average. and one family's struggle to reunite shows how long letter rico's road to recovery will be. a gunman in las vegas has killed at least fifty people more than two hundred others have been injured officers responded to a mass shooting at the mandalay bay hotel and casino finding the suspect dead portrait.

this was the final night of a festival in las vegas when the gunfire silenced the music. witnesses say they were in absolute panic and pandemonium we were the further. away from mandalay bay and they were ricocheting everywhere we were it was they were firing from somewhere high and they were unloading clip after clip after clip after clip. police say the shooting was on the thirty second floor of the mandalay bay hotel across the vegas strip officers responding to the shooting say they killed one suspect we located numerous firearms within the room that he occupied and like i stated earlier it's going to be of long and tedious investigation obviously this is a tragic incident and one that we've never experienced in this valley investigators were quick to tell the public that rumors of multiple shooters and several

locations were false polter dirge on al-jazeera. we'll have more on that what could be the united states biggest mass shooting incident a bit later on in the program in the meantime catalonians government is claiming victory in sunday's referendum it says ninety percent of those who did vote but secession from spain that only forty percent forty two percent of. five point three million registered voters turned out that's just under two million people many of us in the region boycotted the vote because they thought it was illegal in line with the spanish government and spanish police shut down around half of the polling stations and that prevented a lot of people from being able to vote either way. and the entire world has seen that on one side we have violence and shame and on the other democracy and dignity and this is an easy election to have moreover this is an

election that we asked for from the european institutions and from governments of other countries who want desire for us to be able to build a more open democratic world. coexistence is a good that we must begin to recover as soon as possible and i say very clearly i'm not going to close any door i never did it's not my way of doing politics i've always offered an honest sincere dialogue but always within the law and always within the democracy frame. right let's hear now from our correspondent who's in barcelona john hendren. spain considered it a crime but catalonian leaders consider the reverendo here a triumph they were aiming for a spectacular show of force when it came to turn out what they got was about forty percent that's far less than spectacular but there were extraordinary circumstances leading up to this spain tried to shut down the election it did not happen although the spanish police did certainly dampen turnout there were some brutal

confrontations with demonstrators in which the demonstrators came out much for the worse as spanish police invaded polling stations took out the ballots which they considered illegal so that reduced the number who were turnout so extraordinary circumstances nevertheless president carlos told me whatever the the level of turnout was under spanish law it didn't matter he says that he will go forward with his efforts to declare independence if more of more people said yes in that vote and they certainly did by about ninety percent but here on the ground in spain the day after the referendum looks pretty much like the day before for this region or catalonia has a booming economy a booming tourism industry and a lot of people here say that is just the point with or without spain things here will remain pretty much the same. and let's go live now to boston then

this is the president. let's listen to what he had to say. ok to get them in the mission we are going to take hold in this how to be legal actions but. to the end so that there is accountability by the police officers or political culprits that path instructed these operations. to show the legal system is as efficient as they have done. before when prosecuting our ballot boxes so that there is equality. for those thuds. and me crimes against human rights the commission will be made up of expert outside the government and also. members of the legal team of

our government. obviously the government will put forward that complaint. and we will go to the end. what happened yesterday was the worst day of violence that we have experienced in the last forty years that was unnecessary violence and this could cannot repeat itself and cannot. remain with any punishment and i call on all the police forces to leave catalonia all those police forces that have caused these violent acts in a country that has mobilized during many years with millions of people without having an incident. without having to have any

riot police or a presence such as the one that has begun. brought forward by the spanish government and. the behavior of the police is suspicious. and what. we want to. avoid having to pay for any costs linked to the use of police forces that have behaved in such a monitor. there's going to be a complaint against the disabled guard for the harm. done which has caused. so there is less who is demand the catalan president talking about yesterday's referendum results in which of course he is claiming victory they are now deciding their next steps talking about taking all necessary legal measures he referred to yesterday as being the worst day of

violence in the region had seen and he called upon all outside security forces to leave the region so this clearly still a long way to go in terms of him fulfilling his ambition of achieving independence for catalonia right let's look at some other news now and senior leaders of arrived in the gaza strip as part of an effort to mend ties with the rival palestinian rush faction hamas the palestinian authority is prime minister rami hamdullah is leading the delegation and this is his first visit to the gaza strip since twenty fifteen gaza has been struggling with months of electricity shortages and high unemployment let's go live now to harry forsett our correspondent who is at the area's crossing into gaza for us and tell us about the prime minister of the palestinian authorities first fought into gaza for the first time in two years also.

police that a companion that they call a person of interest that they found this person and two vehicles that they were interested in looking through their investigation is taking them to this man's house there of course looking through the hotel room and again just the beginning of what's going to be a long difficult process here and police have already named the suspect what do we know about him. yeah we know very little about steven patrick what my colleague in washington pete williams who does a tremendous job of covering the justice department says is that he wasn't known to federal agents or fishel zz was not a part of any organized group but i want to stress this is the beginning of this investigation so things to definitely change. we don't have a motive we know that long weapons were used possibly automatic fire involved here

shooting in u.s. history shooting in las vegas where we know the. more than fifty people have been killed we can tell that to philippe is on the favorites from last vegas from inside the very hotel where this happened the mandalay bay hotel philippe thank you very much indeed for talking to us tell us where you were and how you became aware of what was going on sure thank you for having me well we were at the top floor of the . floor in the fountain room on the issue of i'm sorry and we were. out overlooking the back and we started looking at the concert. down below when we saw what appeared to be like fireworks. it wasn't until later on that we realized that it was actual concha and people were just running all over the place they were laying on their floor they were laying on the floor on their backs on their stomachs. we came in we didn't know necessarily that the shot at that time or coming from the hotel. and so but we did know that there was something wrong that

was going on so when we went to leave the room security pretty much didn't let us leave they said well you know we have to keep you here keep us safe until further notice to resign from an outsider i saw recently paid just just just give us that that you know your location again because the fire in the shooting actually took place on the thirty second floor and where were you which floor were you on. we were on the sixty third floor and and so as far as you're concerned this all the shooting a period to be five six. yes we really didn't have an idea of what it was. globally the news on the you know even the media social media nothing was covering this so it was slowly kind of a repeat to us what was going on different people knew different people in different parts of the aisle so we were just kind of getting into all that was coming. and at one point we were just there in this room waiting to stagger out what was going on exactly and someone just everyone people just started screaming

all over the place and everyone to start saying get down get down. and so we all just we panicked people started flipping couches to hide underneath people had in the closets you know looking for exits the. glasses were breaking and for five ten minutes we were uncertain we thought we were under attack. we ended up. times and that's later ended up being that swat was there and they came in they relieved us they took all of us into a back lounge area where we're still here we've been here. and thirty our time so far about six hours we've been here just kind of waiting to see what's going on ok that we weren't able to type but the view of the strip is it's just all shut down there's police lights everywhere helicopters roaming around it's just it's dark it's ok but we're gradually safe thank you very much for talking just.
