reform the attack has reignited the debate though 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 gun charges 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. well 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 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 need is clearly wrong spot. just walked up there and he was actively bleeding i just did the belt. 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 do we need

a ride said yeah we threw mall in the back of the truck when we took off to the hospital. you know i'm very thankful james was there to help me. catalonia meeting for the first time since sunday's disputed referendum that discussing what's next in him move to break away from spain hundreds of thousands of cattle and went on strike in response to the national police his handling of spain's king accused cattle and the catalonia government of running the referendum outside of the law and called for unity. there is still here a sense of what's happens next and that's really been the case since certainly monday night into tuesday yesterday from the madrid they still insist that there is no way

that they can negotiate they say this is a legal issue you can't become independent because he would break the terms of the constitution that's become very difficult for them because of the police action on sunday being so heavy and it has a lot of outside pressure. saying to them you need to talk to the council but they don't want to offer them a place. negotiation because they say it's a legal issue so that also explains why there is still no announcement from the council inside as to when they might want to actually go independent because they i think are holding out to see if madrid will bow to the pressure and capitulate so what's happening right now in the parliament building here is that the procession bloc are meeting having a discussion the president is supposed to speak meet day it's expected that at the very least he will denounce the planned investigation by madrid's of the catalan police chief on grounds of sedition there there phrase for his part in the referendum that that will be denounced as acceptable but it's not at all clear that

he's going to say anything new about when independence might happen that would involve a meeting of the parliament the been talk of law and parliaments and there isn't one shuttle for today so we're still waiting turkey's president. has arrived in iran way or hold talks with officials on kurdish secession efforts expected to meet iranian president has an rouhani and supreme leader ayatollah ali have an aide told turkey's parliament on sunday he expects to agree to a deal with iran on how to respond to last month's kurdish referendum thirty fears an independent kurdistan in iraq will have a domino effect on its own fifteen million ethnic kurdish population 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 and we're getting reports

officials say pakistan is among the reasons the a 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 madison i think over the last several years. a bilateral approach to trying to effect a change in pakistan's behavior. is not about says the latest round of accusations are absurd the cia paid pakistan millions of dollars to set up the fight isn't 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. like

a son is against india's increasing role in of one his 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. with china are strengthening as the relationship with the us d.d.l. rates i can't say yet that the trump administration 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 it's a warm summer when job aid was there. time for a quick break now but when we come back on france's parliament approving a controversial new antiterrorism law will look at its implications. and
