president donald trump will travel to last vegas on wednesday he's praised police for their response to the shooting and dismissed questions about gun reform the attack has reignited the debate over gun control in the u.s. tom ackerman reports from washington. two days after the massacre by a lone gunman firing hundreds of rounds a minute president donald trump was avoiding the issue of tighter restrictions on guns we started about. once a proponent of gun control candidate trump won the backing of the national rifle association by promising to make gun ownership even easier a promise he's repeated since entering the white house as your president i will never ever infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms never. each time a mass shooting happens forty nine killed in orlando last year thirty three killed

at virginia tech university in two thousand and seven twenty seven at a primary school in connecticut in two thousand and twelve the call goes out to tighten regulation of guns especially in curbing access by the mentally ill this problem of mass execution. is a uniquely american problem despite the fact there's no evidence that we have a higher rate of mental illness than any other country but in february signed legislation that rolled back a regulation aimed at blocking some people with severe mental health problems from buying guns. meanwhile the republican controlled congress has rejected attempts to end a major loophole in existing gun controls most states do not require any background checks for private sales at gun shows republican congressman steve school east's who was critically wounded by a lone gunman just three months ago joined the chorus of condolences for the

victims of the las vegas shootings but like his fellow republican leaders schoolies has reiterated his opposition to more gun control even after las vegas trump is unlikely to become a convert to gun control but the latest mass shootings have for the moment at least put a halt to the drive in congress to weaken restrictions on the purchase of guns silencers and armor piercing ammunition tom ackerman al-jazeera washington. now we're hearing more stories of how lives were saved during the shooting like this account from a man who found a victim bleeding after being struck by a bullet. i mean we were getting away and i just we came across him he was in the bed of a pickup truck. there is a makeshift tourniquet it was kind of around his knee is the wrong spot. just walked up there he was actively bleeding i just did the bell got it out where it should be down to stop the bleeding. we hung out there for ten fifteen minutes

and. say here in a pickup truck came in they do we need a ride said yeah we threw mall in the bed of the truck in we took off to the hospital. and. you know i'm very thankful that james was there to help me. parliament is meeting for the first time since sunday's a session referendum spain's king has described the secession vote as in his words outside the law hundreds of thousands of catalans demonstrated against the violent security crackdown during the song i gotta go reports from. the spanish government breaking up the referendum with with the will with catalonia it's been proved already quite crowd gathered outside the

office of the ruling spanish popular party denounced the prime minister as a fascist police action on sunday as brutal. the people are defending what they have to defend the people are ready we will see if the government is ready. the riot squads reviled within the region was nowhere to be seen the protests were policed by local catalan offices firefighters seen here as heroes risk. ovations every time they arrived. at the university square the crowds were even bigger thousands every side road was much bitterness here about the perceived silence from the european union after what happened on sunday. but on tuesday night the spanish king addressed the nation in a call for unity but slammed the referendum as illegal dos i want you know this to your little show. we have all been witnesses to what has been happening in catalonia would be ultimate aim on the part. of declaring illegally independence

for catalonia this will have little effect on the largely republican catalans and there is still nothing from the spanish prime minister who has no interest in engaging the catalans of political mediation for madrid this is strictly a legal issue. that means the call from the capital the president for talks is likely to get nowhere and the clock ticks away on the self declared timeframe of independence this week that is a crisis for spain and for the european union and nobody seems to want to grasp the media see of it. but a few hundred meters away from the protests the streets were quiet and many who don't want spain broken up have been getting on with their lives but they are the ones making all the noise the momentum so far remains with the secessionists this is the politics of brinkmanship with everyone waiting to see who will be the first to back down on the diagonal al-jazeera barcelona. our top u.s.

general has accused pakistan's main spy agency of links with groups islamabad has denied that claim and u.s. defense secretary james mattis has told the senate washington will again try to work with pakistan before taking what he described as punitive action some of em gathered reports. these are some of the taliban fighters the thirty nine member alliance has been trying to defeat since two thousand and one donald trump is the third president who's come up with another new strategy to win the war and of learning stand is defense secretary and joint chiefs chairman have bearden public hearings before the senate and house armed services committees to explain this strategy shift and once again u.s. officials say pakistan is among the reasons they have failed it's clear to me that the i.s.i. has connections with with terrorist groups and if i could just follow up on something secretary mabus i think over the last several years we've had a bilateral approach to trying to effect

a change in pakistan's behavior. it's not about says the latest round of accusations are absurd the cia paid back son millions of dollars to set up the fight isn't going to stand in the one nine hundred seventy s. pakistan has also played a role in u.s. led efforts to mediate between the taliban and the of government and the state department has reiterated that the only solution is a political one focus on not just afghanistan but also india and also incorporating pakistan and that is sort of a regional approach. the key element of that is eventually getting afghan afghans to talk to afghans and that would it would certainly include the taliban getting them to talk to one another. is against india's increasing role in of oneness than the foreign minister is in washington to try to remind the administration about pakistan's sacrifices during the last sixteen years the government says its economy lost billions of dollars in addition to the debts of

more than eighty thousand people. pakistan's ties with china are strengthening as the relationship with the us deteriorates i can't say the trumpet ministration is taking a radically harsh more vigorous approach to pakistan but i think they want to give the pakistanis the impression that they might. in washington stone is somewhat softened since last month the defense secretary says he's going to try one more time to work with congress on. a seventeen years on of lot of sun i mean for more on that when i was there. i said i had on al-jazeera and that is. the u.s. president visits storm here puerto rico two weeks after the hurricane struck the are. refugees living in bangladesh is makeshift camps face a health crisis.

hello again you're watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour more details have emerged about the weapons used in sunday's mass shooting in the u.s. city of last vegas police have released body camera footage from the night showing the victims fleeing devices appear to have been attached to the weapons to increase the top rate of. catalonia as parliament is meeting for the first time since sunday's of secession referendum that's a day after strikes by hundreds of thousands of catalans in response to the

violence by spain's national police during the vote. u.s. defense secretary james mattis says washington will give pakistan another chance to help on afghanistan before taking what he described as punitive action this comes as a top u.s. military officer accuse pakistan's intelligence agency of having strong ties to. our courts in turkey is due to deliver a verdict in a major trial linked to the failed coup in two thousand and sixteen forty seven people including many military officers are accused of trying to assassinate president when prosecutors are seeking life sentences on the night of the coup two policemen were killed in the hotel word of when it was staying the president says the location was bombed minutes after he left. that's become a common image in turkey suspects being marched to court to face charges linked to the failed coup and many are accused of being members of the so-called goodness

movement which the government says orchestrated the attempted overthrow in or more than fifty thousand people are in jail awaiting court proceedings four hundred eighty one senior servicemen and civilians are on trial in ankara and they face charges of murder treason and attempted murder prosecutors say they conducted the cooperation from a military base just outside the capital in istanbul thirty journalists and you were executives are charged with being members of an armed terrorist organization tens of thousands of teachers and public sector workers are also under suspicion on tuesday authorities ordered the arrest of one hundred twelve current and former municipal workers last week alone more than one thousand people were detained. ali joins me now in the studio she's been covering events from turkey for the first several years now so just tell us first of all how significant is this particular. this is one of the most important three lawsuits following the failed coup attempt

in july two thousand and fifteen why is it important because these suspects the suspects had attempted to assassinate president are done and prisons are gone is the plaintiffs the complainant party in this low sits this is why it is very important and of course in terms of the consequences this lawsuit is very important because if they attempt to assert has succeeded the results would have been different for the whole country including the president tell us more about that if this alleged assassination had taken place what would what would have been the scene that would have unfolded in this loss' number number one suspect is fit to lock the u.s. based. so-called islamic cleric let's say and also among the forty seven suspects forty three of them have been in custody pending their trial and two of

them were at large and for too long to learn is one of those two people who is at large. if it succeeded probably if there are two options actually if this nation attempt was successful and was killed what would happen or what if they could capture president don if you wasn't able to escape what would happen probably if you was captured but not killed it would be something like president mohamed morsi situation in egypt he would have been in prison because the coup could have been succeeded completely across turkey and if you was killed then of course the situation could have been much more different and probably at the end of the. most gracious people going out the streets in turkey would have much more people killed on the streets and the current number is two hundred fifty probably would have more death in the country which could lead to an internal conflict that. as i say much.

now turkey's president richard tire better one has left for iran where he will hold talks with officials on kurdish secession efforts and told supporters on saturday that kurdish leaders would in his words pay the price for last month's referendum he's expected to meet iranian president hassan rouhani when he arrives in the capital tehran two countries have large kurdish populations and fierce separatism within their own borders andrew simmons is live in istanbul for so the iraqi kurdish referendum is on the agenda what action do you think is possible there. well a clue is the chief of staff of the turkish army chief of staff who's been in tehran for two days he's been meeting his counterpart from the iranian military there is definitely going to be some sort of cooperation pact. that will be in terms of

another threat it would seem against the iraqi kurds the iranians have been seen deploying tanks on the border in the past twenty four hours there have been a number of exercises on this side of the equation as well with the iraqis engaging with the turkish army in a long series of exercises so there will be military discussions and also political ones there will be a meeting between president rouhani and his counterpart from turkey furthermore president will meet the supremely. and he will have discussions on a whole range of issues it's a big delegation the trade minister economy minister culture minister trade deals will be discussed eyebrows will definitely be raised in the white house in washington d.c. but then the turkish government is insistent that iran should not be isolated but

should engage particularly on issues such. does the war in syria and son some sort of end game in that direction as well hasn't yet and more on syria then not the first time that iran and turkey on opposite sides met any hope of a development in the search for peace there. well there are hopes of the deescalation zones which were agreed in a starter many months back now have yet to actually come to a crystallization to a firm plan that's definitely going to be discussed between the two presidents furthermore they want to get a lot of a lot of a range put together for a cease fire that involves russia as well and of course dealing between turkey and the opposition groups turkey has key links with the moderate fighters in the state the province of it live and that is going to be under discussion as well but in

terms of a political settlement there's no doubt there is a big gap between the thinking of iran who. would no doubt whatsoever president assad and the turks who have been on the other side but now this is real politic this is some sort of end game people are carving territory to this views of the opposition fighters there is some progress but measuring it well you won't be able to gauge that from a news conference it's what's going on behind the scenes that really seems to cow with the start of talks and you thank you andrew symonds live in istanbul. our getting reports at least three turkish soldiers have been killed and several others injured in a bombing in the south east of the country local media reporting the blast took place in the yorks a covert district in her car the province near the border with iran turkish

security officials are blaming the kurdish workers party or p.k. k. for the attack of the true cost of cholera has been revealed in a new report by the charity water a nearly one hundred thousand people are dying from the preventable illness every year cholera is present in more than forty countries and sickens an estimated three million people a year the biggest epidemic is in yemen cholera cases and jumped there from seventeen thousand in twenty fifteen to an estimated nine hundred thousand this year two thousand one hundred people have died in yemen since the outbreak began in april the most recent global estimates were in twenty fifteen and showed india as the worst affected country with more than twenty thousand deaths a year neighboring bangladesh was also a concern with more than three thousand deaths in twenty fifteen nearly a million doses of cholera vaccine are on route to the country to begin an immunization campaign targeting vulnerable range of refugees tanveer chadri has

more from cox is bizarre. no one can describe the condition of some of this temporary refugee shelter built in to prolong area thousands of people concentrate in one area and scratching get up to thirty eight degree there is very few left raw sewage floating in the drainage there is no sewage system no fresh water system very few fresh tubas are set up which is some help but the international aid agencies are warning that you need to be far more number of electrons and fresh water source in this camp one bangladeshi and you say that there are three hundred twenty seven person using one letter and that's a very dissimilar condition now we spoke to a lot of the doctors who are running this mumbai training and different camps most of the doctors told us the majority of the patients are saying have diarrheal disease skin infection and respiratory illness with high fever most of the patients are women and children unless there is a long term strategy chucked out by the government international donor agency there

is a clear danger of cholera and dysentery epidemic spreading out in this camp the international coordination group is sending about one million or a vaccination people that should help the situation to a bit most of these refugees are not going back very soon that has to be a long term strategy once the media focuses on out of this refuges there's a clear danger of aid flow into this camp will slow down. now the number of people confirmed dead in the u.s. territory of puerto rico after hurricane maria has risen to thirty four president visited the island on tuesday two weeks after the hurricane struck already facing criticism for the government response his remarks there have generated more controversy he had returned see reports from san juan. it's clear that donald trump has made up his mind about the success of his administration's relief efforts in puerto rico during a self-congratulatory event shortly after landing the president praised the military to local officials and members of his cabinet for the emergency response

and suggested that the crisis in puerto rico wasn't as bad as the aftermath of other hurrican disasters if you look at a real catastrophe like katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that. and you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally overpowering nobody's ever seen anything like this after learning the president did shake hands with the mayor of san juan who strongly criticized the administration's response is too slow she was reported to have said as they shook hands it's not about politics it's not clear what the president's response was you'll see mccann is a u.s. army veteran this is his response to the president's comments i think that we definitely cost a lot of money to the states but they also have that think about how many soldiers we lost how many lives we lost three percent of the united states so they've given us a lot of money yet but we've been given a lot of lives of others didn't take donald trump's comments too seriously he is

the way he jumped yes but can we say that. progress is being made according to the governor after all stations banks and supermarkets are reopening telecommunications have been restored to forty percent of customers and truck capacity at the port is back to sixty percent of normal but fifty five percent of the population is still without running water ninety five percent are without electricity and despite the president's words no audit is complete of those who died community groups say there are still areas untouched by government help the president satisfaction with relief efforts is more evidence of the disconnect between the white house and this u.s. territory has long been a belief here among the three and a half million u.s. citizens of puerto rico but they're not listened to in washington they call even a vote after all and now there are very real concerns they weren't be this into as reconstruction begins she had zero sound one. appearing his visit
