a gallagher report. a steven public fires down on a crowd of concert goers on sunday night newly released police body camera footage shows panic and confusion offices scramble to locate the source of the gunfire and get members of the public to safety this is a dramatic snapshot of the moments before public was located on the thirty second floor of the mandalay bay hotel police gave more details of how events unfolded the suspect i can tell you that we know now that he fired off and on for somewhere between nine and eleven minutes we know that the suspect fired over a dozen or so volleys and we know that the firing by the suspect ceased to nineteen we had patrol officers actually working another event at the mandalay bay . who heard the shooting and they took it upon themselves to form up into a team into the stairwell begin ascending the floors and also evacuating hotel

guests the swat team had to arrive first officials say several searches of now revealed the full extent of products. currently forty seven firearms have been recovered these firms recovered from three different locations those locations consisted of the hotel room as well as verity m. a skeet nevada they were purchased in nevada utah california and texas the gunman purchased rifles shotguns and pistols. inside politics hotel room assault rifles can be seen on the floor many of the modified to fire more rounds what's not clear is why a retired sixty four year old accountant carried out the shooting but his longtime girlfriend mary lou donnelly has now been described as a person of interest steven products family history is also emerging his father benjamin product was at one time on the f.b.i.'s most wanted list for bank robbery

and theft president trump also declared without citing any evidence that product was mentally unbalanced the sick man a demented man. a lot of problems i guess we're looking into him very very seriously investigators say they're also looking at patrick's financial history described as a high roller he gambled heavily and sent large sums of money overseas what's clear is that steven part of plan does attack well in advance even installing a camera outside his hotel room to watch for approaching police his motives however remain a mystery this is a man with no criminal record and someone who neighbors describe as a recluse as this city continues to mourn its dead it's a question many want answered but so far the reasons remain unclear and they gallacher al-jazeera las vegas nevada the investigators in last vegas are still examining the crime scene police say some of the guns belonging to the shooter have been sent to f.b.i. labs for analysis rob reynolds has more on the weapons used in the sometimes

contradictory gun laws in the united states. this is the gun shop where mass murderer stephen paddick bought part of his arsenal was talking how he was new to the area kind of visiting all the firearm stores in the area firearms laws in nevada where patrick lived are extremely lax says criminal justice expert william souza people are able to. buy semiautomatic. weapons handgun rifles assault rifles people also are able to openly carry. weapons on them at any addition as much as you want there are no restrictions in terms of the amount mr ammunition that you can buy or any modern weapons they can buy for that matter what weapon tatic used in his killing spree is especially alarming it appears that you know the individual who who did this was was using fully automatic weapon such weapons can fire nine bullets per second that was the

kind of gun fire that was coming out of the window the thirty second floor of that hotel and he had massive firepower fully automatic weapons are in most cases illegal. but there is a loophole there are kits available that are legal to buy on the internet that allow an individual with some technical skill to convert a semiautomatic weapon to fully automatic fire police confirmed paddocks gun modified for rapid firing we are aware of a device called a bone stock. and. enables an individual to speed up the discharge ammunition dump stocks can be bought online for about one hundred dollars one of the many loopholes in our gun laws in the united states that while it is illegal to take an existing semiautomatic and transform it into a fully automatic weapon that is illegal and then to own that weapon that's illegal

under federal law it's not illegal to sell the kit that allows you to do it. reeled in las vegas massacre sparked new gun control legislation unlikely with the current political configuration in power in washington d.c. the republican party in control of congress and the presidency you will see no action by either branch of government to tighten up gun laws americans have come to realize that no concert night club school or theater can ever be safe from a determined gunman with eight in his heart rob reynolds al-jazeera las vegas. 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 bullets 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 really wrong spot.

just walked up there and he was actively bleeding but i just did the bell got it out where it should be down to stop the bleeding. and we hung out there for ten fifteen minutes in. some. savior in a pickup truck came in they do we need a ride he said yeah we threw mall in the bed of the truck in we took off to the hospital. and. now i when i made it. you know i'm very thankful that james was there to help me. process session. meeting for the first time since sunday's referendum hundreds of thousands of catalans went on strike in response to the national police is handling of spain's king accused cattle. government of running the referendum outside the law and

called for unity last week is. what are we expecting today. well that's a very good question and there's been a very bizarre sort of interregnum over the last forty to seventy two hours really since since the referendum results on sunday nights where. you've had virtually nothing from. actually a kind of a holding pattern really from from from the pro secession bloc inside inside the castle in parliament here basically they can actually go towards a formal announcement that they're going to try for independence until they formally ratify the referendum outcome and say it's official and they haven't done that yet nor can they actually do this we think without going through a full parliamentary session and there isn't one churchill for today and so it seems to me that. this silence may actually be because there's some back channel

work going on potentially by people inside the european union trying to say to madrid in particular look you've got to try and sort this out you know because if they do it then you'll democracy is fractured and it would also fracture the european union and they've said violence isn't the way so negotiate but madrid doesn't want to negotiate because you see this is a legal rather than a political issue and i think the reason why the council and seem to be holding out for the moment and not formally announcing is because they're trying to wait to see if they can actually get any movement from the treaty so what we're going to have today is the problem of the independents block a meeting at the moment that starts about ten minutes ago the president is supposed to speak in two hours time that day what's he going to say again unclear but it was announced in madrid this morning that the head of the council on police is being investigated for sedition. for his part in the referendum and at the very least we expect to denounce that. but i don't think he's actually going to it's unlikely at

least i think he can he can make any major announcement about what he thinks are going to happen towards independence and the government has maintained this line that any attempt by the catalonians to move on in dependencies is illegitimate and they've they've come under criticism for the way the police handled that referendum vote is there a risk there that they may be alienating more people in catalonia moving them towards independence. well they possibly though i don't really think so i think i think that when the mines i mean the one thing that everybody here agrees on is the police action on sunday was an absolute outrage and that's a view shared very widely in the outside world too but it doesn't i don't think it's necessarily change some minds about about independence people rather than believers for all they're a bit front of the prospect because they don't know what the outcome might be what i think the problem to the first point of your question about about madrid these that you know it's all very well for the european union to say look you need to

negotiate politically but madrid said well it's the constitution you can't break up spain because it's in the constitution therefore it's a legal matter and so there's nothing to negotiate that explains why the king said last night you know it's unity or nothing you can't you can have it both ways and so in that sense whether it's going to sell boxed in now you know because it's because of the actions of the police they're under a great deal of pressure to negotiate but they say they come because because he would write the constitution all right. thank you. now a 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 told the senate washington will again try to work with pakistan before taking what he called a punitive action osama bin just a report. 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 his 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 the a failed it's clear to me that the i.s.i. has connections with terrorist groups and if i could just follow up on something secretary madison 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 to the end of 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 focused 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. as against india's increasing role in of one a son 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 back in. with china strengthening as the relationship with the us to do the roots i can't say yet that the trumpet administration is taking a radically harsh more vigorous approach of pakistan but i think they want to give the pakistanis the impression that they might. in washington stillness somewhat soften 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. a reports of

a motorbike exploding in paris just outside the jordanian military attash a office the jordanian embassy confirmed the blasts were no reports of injuries at this time that's all the information that we have on that developing story but we'll of course bring you more as when we get it. still ahead on al-jazeera you have seven days to get out that's what the u.s. is telling cuba's diplomatic staff in washington we'll tell you why. plus italian prosecutors say this man is the mastermind of one of the world's biggest people smuggling operations and his defense says it's a case of mistaken identity. from the clear blue sky. to the fresh autumn breeze in the city.

has no doubt about the changes season in northern europe in the last week or so incorporates the remains of hurricane lili and maria and it's just helped to shove rain right across northern europe cutting line below which is much warmer for example this cloud is streaming through denmark and southern sweden as are the baltic states not to be a lot of rain the temps are about thirteen mark it's not much warmer further south until you get to say bottom half of europe soviet up to eighteen in booker's twenty two this is quite looking weather further west so most of the temps are slightly higher still a windy and wet looking picture quite often in northern france the british isles look at that northerly push so you probably enjoying the weather in madrid thirty degrees and also in rome twenty four where the skies are blue rather than iron grey and wet but some rather big but wondering showers recently in tunisia coming up through western libya they are still there now not see much ground truth of how much rain is for now as the mother this is flash flood territory and they're likely

to drift probably slowly northwards into the central med and up towards greece of the next day or so leaving dry weather behind where i was a son we had and temps are still quite surprisingly high for some nearly forty in the middle of libya. the weather sponsored by cattle race. when they're on line we were in hurricane. almost like thirty six hours these are the things that has to address or if you join us on saturday. but. this is a dialogue tweet us with hostile a.j. stream and one of your pitches might make. join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera.

and again you're watching al-jazeera amount of our top stories this hour more details emerging about the weapons used in sunday's mass shooting in last vegas modified assault rifles were found in the attackers hotel room with devices attached to increase the right to fire police have released the body camera footage from the night showing victims fleeing. across a session parliamentary block in catalonia is meeting for the first time since sunday's disputed referendum that follows a day of strikes by hundreds of thousands of catalans in response to the violence by spain's national police during a vote. a top u.s. general has queues pakistan's main spy agency of links with armed groups is not about has denied that claim u.s. defense secretary james mattis told the senate washington will work again to try to

what will what try again to work with pakistan for taking what he described as punitive action. a court in turkey is about to deliver verdicts in a major trial linked to the failed coup twenty sixteen forty seven people including a number of military officers are accused of trying to assassinate president retire early where prosecutors are seeking life sentences on the night of the coup two policemen were killed in the hotel where everyone was staying president says the location was bombed minutes after he left turkey's president richard tirebiter when his arrived in iran where he will have talks with officials on kurdish to session efforts right away and told supporters on saturday kurdish leaders would in his words pay the price for last month's referendum he's expected to meet iranian president hassan rouhani in the capital tehran two countries

a large kurdish populations and fierce separatism within their own borders andrew symonds has more from istanbul military issues andrew symonds has more from istanbul. military issues are undoubtedly at the top of the agenda in tehran the turkish military chief of staff went two days ahead to meet his counterpart in iran and it's expected some form of corporation some extra corporation between iran and turkey will be announced however in long term it's unlikely they'll be an alliance between the two armies culturally they're quite some distance apart and also of course turkey is a nato member which is raising eyebrows no doubt in the united states however the turkish military is insistent that it needs to engage with iran it can't be isolated it is definitely very very relevant in terms of coming to some sort of settlement on the conflict in syria and also very relevant in sharing

a similar problem to turkey it sees as a problem the kurdish response to the iraqi k.-r. g. the kurdish regional government having the referendum vote and so what we expect to see is this corporation further political dealings and some sort of move towards putting more pressure on bizarrely and his inner circle allied to tehran now and turkish president richard tired. arriving in the iranian capital for talks with their leaders there he'll meet with president. rouhani as we mentioned earlier and he's also going to discuss the ongoing efforts by the kurdish regional government in iraq and its continuing push for independence there. now we're getting reports at least three turkish soldiers have been killed and several others injured in a bombing in the southeast of the country local.
