the political events that led up to my question it's about the impact on each person who went through it it's really important that we highlight the stories of humanity hopefully one outcome of this would be that we remember our shared humanity and the shared history. he ruled for nearly half a century a controversial political figure in the cold of the middle east and one who was never far from crisis at home or abroad. in a two part series al-jazeera warrant tells the story of king hussein of jordan episode two. on al-jazeera.

a little information at the present time there would appear to be no national security connection to this particular incident. the the events that happened on the street behind us are horrendous but they do not appear to be connected in any way to national security based on the information available just one hour from a serious lack in toronto. officials and political leaders have have given an update on the situation late in the day here and they've said you know along with some heartbreaking details about the number of people injured or the number of people killed they did reveal that they had a name for the man alleged to be the driver of the band the van a twenty five year old student named alec manasse and not much is known about him he doesn't have a criminal record an interesting comment from canada's minister of public safety and national security ralph goodale who said there don't appear to be any

connections at all to national security and officials had earlier said that they didn't think he was part of a larger plot but they didn't fill in a lot of the gaps that still exist and the police chief speaking at the same press conference said his investigators and those of the federal government and other layers of government were looking at all angles including national security whatever was being thought here at the outset they just don't know enough yet to say anything with absolute certainty people are going to find out more about the victims in the coming days the ten people so far who have died and the others who were injured many of those injuries are quite serious five or so are critical so that's going to be watched very closely and the area where the attack took place a very busy commuter area very busy area with colleges and shopping and businesses that's going to be closed because it's a giant crime scene more than a kilometer long so people in toronto they're mourning but they're anxious to know more why this happened and what they can do to move on from it. france's president

washington at a private dinner for the two men and their wives he will hope when german chancellor angela merkel arise through or and visit in the coming days donald trump might have something positive to see alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house but as you heard there ron's foreign minister mohammed jabbered something of his also in the u.s. he told the council of foreign relations that neither iran nor saudi arabia can be the dominant power in the middle east we need to have a strong region not to be the strong growth in the region in an attempt to be the strongest in the region to exclude one another from the region we have managed to destroy the region time to break down and i'm telling you that iran is ready put it because we are bigger nob old enough mature enough to appreciate this reality and i hope that our neighbors can also appreciated.
