and ordered that order hasn't happened getting to the heart of the matter so are you saying then that the future of the g.c.c. will be in doubt. here the story. on talk to al-jazeera at this time. al-jazeera. with and for us. las vegas match point police department is working on two fronts to process the crime scene and also investigate the motive of the shooter. what led this sixty four year old former accountant to carry out the deadliest mass shooting in modern

u.s. history. hello bob and joe al-jazeera live from. that is also coming up. a general strike in catalonia following the disputed vote to break away from spain. another push for unity among rival palestinian factions but will this make a difference to the suffering of thousands of girls. and the plan to send thousands of red hen jeff who fled to bangladesh back to miramar. in the united states and now digging into the history of the sixty four year old former accountant who carried out the worst mass shooting in modern american history saving paddick opened fire from a hotel room in las vegas overlooking

a concert at least fifty nine people were killed five hundred others were injured in the attack and the gallagher has more from less i guess. this is the moment when a homeless sunday night out became a tragedy. twenty thousand concert goers were enjoying a country music festival when suddenly bullets rained down from above terrified they scrambled for safety. and then one after the other and we were lying down on the floor i didn't know to get out to run and just to stay to die it was you know if it was safe to move because just about everything that was going on so scary here a whole bunch of shooting we did for people who die in our pool as we went through the airport parking lot and up and down hills through the part of everywhere. perched in a room on the thirty second floor of the mandalay bay hotel sixty four year old

stephen paddick fired off hundreds of bullets from an arsenal of military style weapons. a con it's lasted for ten minutes as police broke down the hotel room door public killed himself police found twenty three guns in the room on monday morning the scale of the atrocity became heartbreakingly clear we are currently standing at five twenty seven for individuals injured and individuals that have died or passed away fifty nine police called paddick a lone wolf he apparently had no criminal record no history of mental illness and the f.b.i. says he had no connection with overseas groups such as eisel or al qaida it was evident that he had weapons in his room we have determined that there has been employees going to and fro from his room and not in enough areas was noticed at this point that's what we know now investigators hope products female companion

mary lou donnelly might provide clues as to his motives friends say she's out of the country a somber president donald trump address the nation we pray for the entire nation to find unity and peace and we pray for the day when evil is banished and the innocent are safe from hatred and from fear among the many unanswered questions are how public got hold of so many weapons some of which it's believed were modified to be fully automatic another nineteen weapons along with thousands of rounds of ammunition and explosives were found at his home in a quiet retirement community. let's go live to andy now so you've already outlined some of the huge questions that have to be answered by investigators. chief among those questions is of course the motive what would make someone who is a sixty four year old apparently wealthy retired accountant do something like this

and we know this was a very pre-planned attack a huge tragedy we know that he booked a hotel room here days before managed to get twenty three weapons lots of ammunition into that room and we're told by law enforcement officials that some of those assault rifles had been modified to go from semiautomatic to automatic mini huge fire hundreds of rounds per minute as i said in my report nineteen other weapons found at his home along with thousands of rounds and explosives as well but martin i have to tell you the atmosphere here in las vegas is like nothing i've ever experienced down at my feet here at the sidewalks are spattered with blood when people run away there are issues scattered all over the place we actually met someone a couple of hours ago who is retracing his steps from sunday night and he talked to his in great detail about what it was like to be there he was right up towards the stage when the gunfire broke out he said at first they thought someone was playing

a prank someone was playing the sound of gunfire through the speakers other people thought it was fireworks he said he realized it was something entirely different when he saw a security guard lying in a pool of blood he was one of the fortunate ones to escape clearly somewhat in a great deal of shock but thousands of lives have now been touched by what is the biggest mass shooting in modern u.s. history and gallagher lives a las vegas ranking. now a general strike is threatening to bring much of catalonia to a complete standstill following sunday's controversial that to break away from spain the strikes have been called for by catherine and trade unions in response to the violence by spain's national police during the ballot almost nine hundred people were injured as hundreds of riot police attempted to shut down the polling stations riddled tilter lawrence leaving now who is live for us in barcelona. and judging from the scene behind you lawrence it looks to say the call to go on strike has been mooted at least by some. not in

their own looks of things going on here at once to die in the general strike is actually only one of them going to show you what's happening specifically here this is the office of the ruling spanish popular party the popular party has no support really whatsoever here in council lonia and consequently the council on police about supports police vans in front of async case people trying to scold me because i think here if you follow me around in this direction you can see this enormous crowd that's gathered in the streets this particular part of the protest was organized by the because they have. that there are these red flags you can see little to see and see ironically that there are a lot of them around a case and they don't actually cusa polkas not in independence because they don't believe in borders but this is the first protest of many today and has drawn a lot of people who are not sure they are in favor of independence and the very loud cheering and chanting you can hear is when the firemen turned up these guys

here in the red with the with the helmets on the farm and they were seen as the hero sort of sunday every time they arrived there a spontaneous huge burst of applause and people shouting the streets would always be ours. as the day goes on say much more of this the firemen having their own protest students as well and that is that the as in the off to noon as well as the general strike there's another action which we're calling the country style that's the sort of brush punish translation and that takes in organizations i don't necessarily only unionized business groups and people like this taking fault as well and the general strike in the country started mudge later on this softening for a big demonstration the central falls alone what do they have in common they're all against what they saw as police brutality on sunday and they had a rolling policy what don't they all have in common a belief in independence and that's really crucial because in the coming days you might actually start to see small gaps appear between these different groups. and

outside in what a council lonia so ultimately lower and despite this huge display on the streets it's not necessarily going to affect the dilemma affecting the people of catalonia and indeed the spanish government and that is how to view what happened on sunday and how to move forward. yeah i mean clearly the council on government said that they didn't have a a bottom level for what they would see as a mandates ninety percent to forty three percent turnout you might all get isn't a mandate and clearly all the polls have suggested that there are just as many council. against independence is the word for it if you ask if you ask any council and they're all going through the ramifications of what might happen in the coming days if they declare is anybody going to support then the european union no it won't the marabouts only has a pound in outside the now called the time the council and president says it is studies open to mediation and so you can start to see them thinking well we have

said we going to call from the pendants this week but maybe it might be like running off the cliff because if you're unrecognized that's really a mess and the spanish government continues to insist this is not a political thing it's a legal thing and they would take away a loan is limited autonomy such an existence and i don't think it's necessarily getting that independence will happen this week in a few dollars and might make things even even worse in iraq and better all right lawrence thank you lawrence live from barcelona. the palestinian prime minister has held a unity cabinet meeting in gaza part of a national reconciliation plan between his party and hamas now thousands of gazans lined the streets on monday as rami had crossed into the gaza strip for the first time since twenty fifteen is visit is the most ambitious effort yet to end the hostility between the political factions after repeated failures. that it was

willing to hand over administrative control over the gaza strip to a unity government sorry force it is a correspondent live in gaza city said was this an important moment then in this process that it's hoped will provide this unity government that gazans of the hope will improve the conditions of living. that's right that administrative handover you talk about is now underway this cabinet meeting has been held and cabinet ministers will be heading out to their ministries around gaza to be formally handed over the reins and the expectation is that that will go smoothly that the hamas officials who've been in charge so far will welcome them in and that the authorities will be restored after ten years to the government figures of the palestinian authority and we've had a news conference after this cabinet meeting the spokesman for the p.a.

government was talking about a couple of things about the sort of support there is coming from egypt for this the egyptian ministry minister of intelligence is in ramallah in the occupied west bank having talks with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas he will then come here expressing his support for this entire situation which has been brokered under the aegis of the egyptian president who's posters is has been erected around this square also egyptians apparently talking about the their efforts in the coming days and weeks to aid with lifting the israeli siege calling on the international community and the israelis themselves to ease the restrictions on the gaza strip however there are lots of people here who want to see this government act in ways that can do much more quickly to just improve the everyday conditions of life so far we haven't had any concrete proposals on that they're talking about more talks

in cairo next week to arrange those sorts of details and is this transition this handover expected to be a smooth one given that hamas is has agreed in principle at least to handover administrative control to the palestinian authority. i think in the short term absolutely everything has gone in an extremely amicable way so far over the last couple of days the questions will lie further down the track about. atlee who is in control of what when it comes to security the borders his own military wing but for now yes the expectation and indeed it seems the will on both sides is for a smooth transition but there are people here who say that there's a big group of former palace in authority employees who were stripped of their salaries stripped of their jobs in two thousand and seven having been accused of collaboration with hamas during the conflict between the two rival factions they say they want an explanation for why that happened they were never allowed

a chance to defend themselves they want their jobs and their salaries back there are other people who are talking about the more recent restrictions by the palestinian authority which have been imposed such as cutting the salaries of b.p.a. employees who've been sitting idle under the hamas government such as the restrictions on it on electricity which the p.a. has imposed as well these are things which the p.a. government presumably could do straight away but so far they're talking about getting detailed reports on all of these issues and that the mechanisms for solving those problems will only come later in the course of talks however with it live in gaza thank you. we've got a lot more to come here and including it's the end of the line for thousands of workers at a toy is a manufacturing plant in australia. after the flood that killed several residents rhinos one of india's main national parks reopened.

by the springtime flowers of a mountain lake. to find smoke from the wind and stay. there the all time know whether it's continuing to spread its way across europe you see the leading edge of that system as it gradually edges its way eastwards and behind it it's colder than it has been and it's also rather blustery as well now that leading edge of rain and cloud is certainly giving us some heavy downpours so we're expecting some very heavy rains across the baltic states and down through parts of austria across the outs there very wet for us that system though will gradually break off as we head through the day on wednesday so still some shop outbreaks of rain as it works its way across moscow and kiev but then it sort of disintegrates over the southern parts of europe so here there's not really much left to it as we head through wednesday to the south and still staying fine sunny and relatively warm we're looking at twenty four and further north generally cooler windy and a fair amount of cloud around beilin there only getting to thirteen for the other

side of the mediterranean we're also seeing a fair amount of unsettled weather as well mostly out of this system here it's given us a lot of thunder and lightning and there's plenty more still to come systems going nowhere in a great hurry so on wednesday we're still expecting some heavy rain over some parts of tunisia and into the western parts of libya very sharp showers here for the central parts of africa the rain here is now most of gita. the weather sponsored by catch phrase. it whether online we were in hurricane winds full almost like thirty six hours these are the things that you u.k. has to address or if you join us on saturday. but. this is a dialogue tweet us with hash tag a.j. stream and one of your pitches might make the actual join the global conversation

at this time on al-jazeera. but let's have a look at the top stories here at al-jazeera at least fifty nine people are dead more than five hundred are injured in las vegas after the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history police searching the attackers home have found nineteen and explosives along with thousands of rounds of ammunition. trade unions in catalonia holding a strike in response to the violence used by spain's national police during sunday's referendum almost one hundred people were injured as hundreds of riot police attempted to shut down the polling stations the palestinian prime minister

has led a unity cabinet meeting in gaza as part of the national reconciliation efforts between his mainstream fatah party and hamas thousands of girls ins lined the streets on monday. crossed into the gaza strip. now iran has massed its time for long the border with iraq semi autonomous kurdish region last week as. the session referendum was held in the kurdish region in defiance of the government in baghdad as well as iran and turkey the tensions following the vote is having a big impact on trade in predominantly kurdish areas along the iraqi border hoda abdel-hamid has those details from the crossing. crossing it's business as usual goods flowing into the kurdish region from turkey people traveling back and forth between the two it's iraq's most important land

crossing kurds on both sides of the border make a living out of it. i am poor i don't love my job but i make my daily bread coming and going through this border if it closes there will be a domino effect from here to istanbul it's all connected i won't be the only one her. cousin and the other drivers here are turkish kurds they have silently supported the referendum they live across the border in the same area where iraqi soldiers carried out joint exercises just a few kilometers away from the crossing. iraq's prime minister. has to bring it under the federal government's authority although it's an entry point. here. actually. everyone is scared the regional government also imposes its own customs and immigration policies and if you are

still in doubt then you have to remind you where and. even though the border guards under the command of baghdad giving up their posts kurds is out of the question. as of now the border guards and a part of the iraqi forces but if there is a problem that would defend kurdistan it will be a national cause this is their land where their families and their people live every kurd will take part in this. the crossing fell on the control of the kurds with the no fly zone was imposed over the region after the first gulf war in one thousand nine hundred one and since it's been a lifeline for the kurdish region. it was a child then but still remembers how different his whole was at the time. before nine hundred ninety one we couldn't do any business no one had money after that things changed the town became richer but

a kurdish state is more important than anything else we have to sacrifice for it even if we have to fight we knew since before the referendum that the could be some negative reactions. everyone here is waiting for. but with more than half of the goods that that drive through. making their way beyond the kurdish region to the rest of iraq kurds say everyone involved will pay a heavy price. in the order in iraq. al jazeera has learned that a weapons shipment from north korea is the reason for a strained relations between the united states and egypt a united nations ripple it obtained by a team details the connection between pyongyang and cairo egypt's foreign ministry has responded saying the authorities have since destroyed the shipment of antitank missiles passy culhane has more from washington. so whenever u.s.

president donald trump meets publicly with his egyptian counterpart it's all smiles the moment you personality that is capable of doing the impossible thank you. i mean. things get a bit frosty or a few months later when the u.s. delayed or frozen around two hundred ninety million dollars in military aid meant for egypt the washington post says that was in part because of what was on the ship in july of two thousand and sixteen u.s. intelligence officials started tracking down as it made its way from north korea to egypt a month later u.s. officials told the egyptians they wanted it searched according to this u.n. report they found this on board hidden under iron ore seventy nine crates containing parts that could create twenty four thousand three hundred eighty four rocket propelled grenades and materials to build more than four thousand additional ones there are reports those are meant for the egyptian army who later blew them up under u.n. supervision this report also indicates the u.n.

is also investigating whether north korea shipped spare parts for scud missiles to egypt that is likely to put a further strain on the u.s. egyptian alliance because president donald trump has made isolating north korea a top priority experts say the u.s. is going to keep a sharp focus on north korea's ports u.s. intelligence agencies are doing. tracking of all ships entering and leaving north korean ports they can also through satellite observation get the images off water. being loaded onto ships the north koreans are believed to sell weapons cheap around the globe the trump administration believes that money fuels its nuclear program and they are reiterating that it needs to stop at the same time monday the white house seemed to contradict their own secretary of state who said the u.s. was looking to talk to north korea there's a difference between talking and putting diplomatic pressure we still strongly support putting diplomatic pressure on north korea which we're continuing to do but

now is not the time simply to have conversations with north korea we asked but didn't get any sort of response from the egyptian embassy here in washington d.c. but it is clear the trump administration is sending a message to egypt that when it comes to dealing with north korea that will come with its own set of costs public line al-jazeera washington. well the french ambassador is the current u.n. security council president and he was all still about what seems to be a breach of sanctions against north korea it on the face off. it's essential to implement fully one hundred plus in the sanctions that they have put in place and you know honestly i'll be frank we have made significant progress lisa niemi the sanctions committee is doing its work well. now. refugees of arrived in bangladesh for me i'm while the two countries have agreed on a report on the deal to send back the ranger was made after

a representative from me amman's leader aung san suu kyi went to bangladesh to talk with the foreign minister the un has cooled the exodus of more than half a million the world's fall system for the paying refugee crisis young my writing. has made proposals for taking back the role hinge of refugees both countries have agreed to form a joint working group in order to monitor and to repeat the process both of us have agreed on it now bangladesh will figure out what the details will be of the composition of the joint working group. or yahoo melhem is a correspondent in young girl me and my. well there was a similar agreement to return. who had fled main mar to bangladesh in early around an earlier round of violence in the ninety's and it will be based on that particular agreement at that time about a quarter of a million refugees were repatriated to mean maher but it was facilitated by the

united nations crucially in this instance there will be no united nations of involvement this will be something that's going to be worked out between bangladesh and main my main my has said that it's going to set up two checkpoints. along the border with bangladesh one on land and one on water to process the return isn't under what it's calling a national verification process now we don't have a lot of details about what that process will entail but if you look back at the nineteen in the at the agreement in the one nine hundred ninety s. rangers were. expected to provide evidence of citizenship or id cards or at least some sort of evidence of residency mean months is extremely difficult for a row hindus have been excluded from citizenship and even if they did have some

sort of documents many people fled their homes too quickly to take anything like that with them so it's unclear and unlikely that many of the half million or so refugees hinges who fled to me in my will actually be able to come back under this process. the u.s. is expected to order nearly two thirds of cuba's diplomatic staff to leave the country it's in response to months of mysterious solich attacks on the u.s. embassy in havana that's affected the health of its staff there on friday washington and that it will cut its diplomatic presence in cuba by more than half. the u.s. president donald trump is it's ready to go to puerto rico and choose a two weeks after it was hit by hurricane maria large parts of this u.s. territory a still without running water or power local leaders have been critical of the speed of the trumpet ministrations response toyota

is ending production of cars in australia after fifty years the japanese auto giant has shut down its outearn a factory in melbourne marking two thousand and six making two thousand six hundred workers redundant another plant in adelaide that will show up later in the month andrew thomas has more from sydney on the industry's demise. so i just started making cars in australia back in one thousand nine hundred sixty three and in the fifty four years since more than three million tires to cars have rolled off its production lines in this country the closure of a factory in melbourne was in the direct loss of two thousand jobs for a further three thousand people depended on that factory for their livelihoods because they were in supply chain companies from the classic totem poles were brought back to the melbourne factory on tuesday for a ceremony to mark the closure of the factory last year ford closed its last. factory plant in australia and in two weeks' time holden which is the australian brand name for general motors is called as and i know where in the world it will

close its last factory and that will mark the end of all car manufacturing in australia costs here simply too high compared to manufacturing costs elsewhere in asia but some say the closure of the car industry in australia isn't necessarily think it marks the transition of australia's economy towards a. tight economy and it also suggests australian workers are getting jobs in higher tech industries also when a unesco world heritage site is reopened in india after severe floods killed animals and calls major damage. this is a sight to many people in india is a sign province thought they would never see because you don't get national park reopens for tourists albeit only partially severe floods over the summer submerge chiefs waves of the park forcing the most famous resident of the one hold rhino to flee to higher ground the world heritage site faces flooding every summer but this

year severe floods force record numbers of the rhino to move in the initial flooding seven rhinos died while floods caused deaths and damage the annual cycle is necessary to regenerate the grasslands essential for animals like rhinos elephants and wall buffaloes the floods also fill up four hundred bodies of water located inside the park the fact that they were able to open even partially is a relief to the director. although the water levels reduced but due to rain we are still facing difficulties in repairing the entire tourist we hope to repair it as soon as possible the return of tories has delighted local businessmen who rely on the park for income the tories seem equally excited to be back it was the first day the video was beautiful and we had a lovely sighting of the day and once they were there in their natural habitat and within the water with their babies so it was a wonderful experience but some are concerned that the park hasn't fully recovered

from the floods they fear the park could take short cuts to accommodate tourism and that may have an environmental impact in the future. which is of. traverses take a look at the top stories here at al-jazeera at least fifty nine people have died and more than five hundred people have been injured in last vegas after the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history police searching the attackers home have found nineteen far arms and explosives along with thousands of rounds of ammunition trade unions in catalonia holding a strike in response to the violent show by spain's national police during sunday's referendum almost nine hundred people were injured as hundreds of riot police attempted to shut down the polling stations the palestinian prime minister has led a unity cabinet meeting in gaza as part of reconciliation efforts between his
