high school on wednesday has confessed to the shooting and admitted he was hiding extra ammunition in his backpack the f.b.i. said it was warned about the threat posed by nineteen year old nicholas cruz who was a former student at the school in part and from there andy gallagher reports. even in a nation plagued by my shootings the scenes from inside the marjorie stoneman douglas high school a harrowing student sobbed as they're forced to run past bodies of fall and classmates in all seventeen people died most were getting ready to go home to their parents and loved ones i saw two girls dead next to each other holding hands there was another body running the. it was three in the bathroom door former student nicholas cruz is now being charged with premeditated murder but it's now known the f.b.i. was warned about him last september

a comment left online and was reported to authorities the f.b.i. received information about a comment made on a you tube channel. a public comment simply said i'm going to be a professional school shooter. no other information was included with that comment which would indicate time location or the true identity of the person who made the comment. yes we conducted database reviews checked with them was unable to further identify the person who actually made the comment that there were other warnings to friends say nineteen year old cruz was going to obsessed teaches at the school will reportedly afraid of him school officials haven't said why cruz was expelled last year but the local sheriff made an emotional appeal for more resources people are going to be rightfully so concerned about their rights as a mine but what about the rights of the students what about the rights of young kids who go to school with book bags and pencils don't they have the right to be protected by the united states government to the best of our ability for you

nicholas take us through this. here nicholas cruz is said to be cooperating with investigators early searches of his social media accounts as said to be disturbing over the next few days vigils will be held to mourn those who lost their lives once again a community has been ripped apart by gun violence that may have been preventable for many here offers of condolences and prayers a simply not enough and gallacher al-jazeera parkland florida well one of the most shocking aspects of this story is that nobody was really surprised it's the eighteenth fatal shooting in the united states so far this year and we're only in mid february but as patty calling reports from washington d.c. an extension of gun control seems as far away as it's ever been. the sanctuary of a school punctured with screams. panicked children flee terrified parents wait we've seen this over and over and over

again this is a couple of dozen at high school at universities and at an elementary school twenty children six adults slaughtered by an automatic weapon then as and now the flags come down and the politicians debate this uniquely american phenomena the core question they ask are guns really to blame president donald trump didn't even mention the word gun in his address not even once we are committed to working with state and local leaders to help secure our schools and tackle the difficult issue of mental health we have to have smart gun safety laws and we cannot tolerate a society and and live in a country with any level of pride when our babies are being slaughtered the last time congress actually debated gun control after these six year olds were murdered

in two thousand and twelve even with the parents of the dead children lobbying them the senate couldn't pass a bill requiring background checks to buy a gun and that proposal is hugely popular according to gallup ninety six percent of americans polled what background checks for all gun purchases seventy five percent want a thirty day waiting period to buy a gun and seventy percent want all guns to be registered with police so why does the popular will not have an impact here on capitol hill well many lawmakers from rural areas are afraid of angering their constituents were guns are more prevalent and there's also the issue of campaign money the gun lobby the national rifle association is very powerful if you add up the money it gives to candidates running ads or lobbying they have contributed more than two hundred. three million dollars for elections dating back to nine hundred ninety eight now that is happened again a familiar refrain from people in power we owe it to every one of those kids trying

processed foods are more likely to develop cancer they looked at the diet of all the one hundred thousand people and found that those who eat things like cakes crisps and ready meals are at higher risk of developing the disease barker reports from london. what have you eaten today because what we innocently consume could be harming us. we've known for several years that certain food such as processed meat can increase our risk of disease but now french researches have made a worrying link between ultra processed food and cancer western diets are characterized by their intake of. an average of could get to fifty percent of ultra processed foods in our in our diets even a healthy product nutritionally can be processed because it can have food or preservatives or food color and or. or sweeteners so what do
