a neighboring county he led police on a brief vehicle chase after the shooting before being found dead we are only hours into this medication which is going to take a significant length of time and will continue to provide to provide information as it becomes available we know you're going to have a lot of questions there are many many that we cannot answer us president donald trump speaking from a trip to asia condemned the attack americans do what they do best we pull together . we join hands we lock arms. and through the tears and through the said this. we stand strong oh so strong the church regularly posts video of its sunday services raising the possibility the massacre may have been captured on camera this clip is from a week ago we have gathered in this place may you be able to look down from heaven and say those are my children choosing the gather together in my name and worst of

me capturing the last days of peace before tragedy. on as your pastor joins us now from southern springs and heidi what's the latest on the gunman's motive. lauren we just had a press briefing from investigators here and they say that this massacre was not motivated by terrorism or religious beliefs or rather it sprung from a domestic dispute as evidence they say that this gunman sent a threatening text message to his to his mother in law the mother of a strange wife prior to this taking place we also know from military officials that the gunman was removed was removed from his posting this charge under bad behavior this happened three years ago after he had served a year in jail for assaulting his then wife and his child and perhaps some of the

most devastating updates of all coming from this press conference in fact saying the range of ages of the victims who were killed started with an eighteen month old child who was among the dead ranging all the way to a seventy seven year old lauren and hardy we've heard again from president trump about the shooting. we have indeed and as with other mass shootings in the united states immediately after the president and others gun to gun control gun defenders brace for these questions of what may have been done to prevent this from unfolding we know four guns were owned by this gunman three were recovered here at the scene the president speaking in japan said though that guns were not the problem he said it was mental health. mental health is your problem here. very based on preliminary reports very deranged individual

a lot of problems over a long period of time. we have a lot of mental health problems in our country as do other countries but this isn't a guns situation i mean we could go into it but it's a little bit soon to go into it but fortunately somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction otherwise it would have been as bad as it was it would have been much worse but this is a mental health problem at the highest level. now police say the shooter devon kelly purchased four guns in the last four years two were from another state and colorado two were purchased here in texas and the question still remains why he was allowed to purchase those guns one of which he apparently used to unleash this massacre lauren hunter caster thank you very much indeed. well the u.s. president has wrapped up his trip to japan where he met prime minister shinzo abyei the nuclear threat posed by north korea dominated talks with both leaders agreeing

the time for dialogue is over donald trump now heads to seoul as part of his twelve day visit to asia scott hardly reports from tokyo. during his two days in japan there's no question that president trunk and prime minister they have grown close as friends trump calling the relationship extraordinary calling trump a precious friend and they have also strengthen the alliance between the two nations to a level not seen before but it's not just because they like each other after a summit meeting on monday they both underlined why they think that alliance is critical standing together against north korean aggression. there's no point in dialogue for the sake of dialogue with north korea now is the time not for dialogue but for applying maximum pressure on north korea we completely agreed that for north korea to change its policy and the u.s. must take leadership closely collaborating with the international community so that

we can enhance pressure on north korea through all possible be the era of strategic patience is over. some people said that my rhetoric is very strong but look what's happened with very weak rhetoric over the last twenty five years look where we are right now the two agreed more pressure needs to be applied to north korea saying that should come from russia and china prime minister announced tougher unilateral sanctions against north korea assets of thirty five people and groups will be frozen earlier today the president and first lady milan a truck met the japanese emperor akihito and empress michiko at the imperial power japanese citizens abducted and taken to north korea is an issue prime minister has worked to keep alive a way of showing strength against the provocations of north korea and something he wanted to highlight with president trump in town. the leaders met with

earlier it he quit citing fears of an assassination attempt against him but i'm going to say regional politics maybe the real reason is they know how to reports from beirut. this wasn't just an opportunity to talk the meeting between the saudi king so man and saddle had e.d. was as much an attempt to deny reports the lebanese prime minister had been detained by authorities in the saudi capital after he announced his resignation on saturday how did his political opponents have been suggesting he was forced to step down and is under house arrest in riyadh how does this isn't a quick his prime minister brought down lebanon's coalition government a government that included hezbollah how did blame hezbollah and its patron iran for meddling in arab affairs this plunged lebanon into a new political crisis and there are fears it may be at the forefront of the regional saudi iranian rivalry. and lebanon are divided into similar parties

similar is hawks one is poor and the other is proof that race which means if. things would be worth it means that can lead to confrontation between the board but what happened in two thousand and six two thousand and seven two thousand and which can happen that's why we should find a solution to keep or. it might be a while before that happens lebanon's president michel aoun has been meeting with representatives of the country's security agencies he is supposed to be holding parliamentary consultations to appoint a new prime minister but the constitutional process is now on hold. we have been told by the president that we won't take any decision before know what the circumstances of her ignition from the prime minister himself it will be hard to find a prime minister to replace her according to lebanon's power sharing he must be a muslim and if internal stability is to be meant he must be

a consensual figure able to bring the rival parties together but this is not just a lebanese internal matter. the saudi minister for gulf affairs. says lebanon will no longer be the same after heady days resignation he says lebanese leaders have to choose between peace and terror in other words they have to move away from hezbollah a party that has allies members in government and parliament as well as an armed wing of the risk of an open ended political crisis is real and with that lebanon risks again being a battleground for others wars. beirut. so had i was there. britain's queen elizabeth two of canada's just an. explosive offshore financial information in the paradise papers. and we meet a senegalese villager her home. company can mine

a german newspaper appear to show that thousands of the world's richest people have previously unknown investment held in offshore companies it's been reported that donald trump's sex trade commerce wilbur ross has ties to russian business is linked to people close to president vladimir putin has more on the so-called paradise papers. it is a massive leak one point four terabytes of material more than thirteen million files most from the offshore law firm applebee they shed light on the secretive world of offshore tax havens and the financial dealings of the mega rich the farmers who obtained by saddam the same german newspaper that acquired the panama papers last year this is a well established part of doing business these tax measures may not be any. but the same secrecy is used by people who are seeking to cover the tracks of their criminal behavior grand corruption kleptocracy requires offshore

secrecy as the getaway car for the proceeds of those crimes the files of being examined by around one hundred different media outlets newspapers a book casters from around the globe this ross please come forward and day one of the disclosures and some big names donald trump's commerce secretary wilbur ross with a pound links to russian businesses and revelations about the russian tech tycoon yuri milner documents examined by the new york times suggests that kremlin control . entity's bank and energy giant gazprom partnered with milner to acquire sizable chunks of facebook twitter the disclosure is likely to increase concerns over russia's use of social media to apparently interfere in last year's u.s. election. also in the spotlight of revelations around the investments of queen elizabeth the british monarch around thirteen million dollars from the queen's private estate the duchy of lancaster were invested in funds in the cayman islands

and bermuda it's not illegal for the queen to have done that but given that she is the head of state and that her duties are paid for out of the public purse can she really afford to be secretive about her finances. some politicians are calling for a public inquiry into the findings anyone is. putting money into tax havens in order to avoid taxation in britain obviously investigations have to take place should do things not just apologize for it but also recognise what it does to our society the boston consulting group estimates that ten trillion dollars is held off shore that's the combined output of japan france and the u.k. the law firm appleby insists there's no evidence of wrongdoing. investing money offshore powered ice islands outside a comfy financial regulation is not illegal but an important question still remains

is it ethical the park out zero london what it is going to join in is in washington for us what's the comma sexual been saying about this. well the color secretary who was just wrapping up a visit to london at this hour has said that the allegations that he was illegally in business with russian officials at least one of whom has facing u.s. sanctions is patently ridiculous this is wilbur ross speaking earlier to a member of the international broadcasting community if our government decided to sanction them that would be a different story of the gov our government has not so this far made the determination to sanction so there's nothing wrong with that the fact that it happens to be called a russian company does not mean that there is any evil in it were there

is evil is the misstatement that i did not disclose those holdings in my original form. was it is wilbur ross in trouble over this. well he's facing some criticism from senate democrats who say that he should have been more forthcoming about the extent of his international investments when he was undergoing his confirmation hearing earlier this year of course anyone who wants to be in public service in the federal government has to submit a raft of documents disclosing his or her financial engagements and whether he or she might have any conflicts of interest but it's also worth pointing out that while wilbur ross was questioned about his involvement with the bank of cyprus which does have a lot of russian clients no one on the senate panel questioned him about his investments and navigator which is the company that has been doing business with

the russian firm sieber and that company has basically the blessing of the government of president vladimir putin so it technically might have been legal but it has been suggested by ethics experts that in the case where people are wondering about ties between russia and the extent of its involvement in the u.s. twenty sixteen presidential rates being forthcoming might be have been a better strategy for wilbur ross and for other members of the trumpet ministration . thank you very much a fool a politician and businessman in kenya is challenging the result of last month's presidential rerun seno position john herron wow has filed a petition in the supreme court president kenyatta was reelected with almost ninety eight percent of the vote after his main rival riding it refused to stand turnout was below forty percent and polling was postponed in some areas because of violence call the election a sham and has demanded another poll. zimbabwe's president robert mugabe has fired

wondering whether the five will actually start to apply for political asylum something that colors put him on said he wasn't interested at the moment that's not an issue but there are several steps that could happen in the next couple of months for those five to appeal if in fact the belgian legal authorities decide to extradite them back to spain beyond that political asylum could buy them some more time although the very unusual for belgium to grant asylum to citizens of another e.u. country for the moment the politicians here are probably very grateful that it's not up to them to decide what happens it's purely a judicial matter it's extremely of course extremely divisive here and in spain. environmental leaders from around the world are you know the cop twenty three u.n. climate change conference in germany discussing how to put their plan to combat climate change into action is the first such meeting since donald trump decided to
