4:23 pm
worship and learn together and continue our historic medic's legacy in this city with the friendliest people that we know. as police and swat teams responded it soon became apparent that this was a hate crime the suspected gunman robert bowers told police he wanted to kill as many jews as possible with an assault rifle and pistols thousand killed eight men and three women their ages range from fifty four to ninety seven american couple and two brothers among the dead during the course of his deadly assault on the people the synagogue bowers made statements regarding genocide and his desire to kill jewish people after a standoff with police powers eventually surrendered and remains in federal custody today. so our complaint charges powers with twenty nine separate federal crimes. outside the tree of life so we've got people who've been laying flowers of the

victims all day this is one of the oldest jewish communities in the u.s. there was to be no tolerance for into a semitism in america or for any form of religious or racial hatred or prejudice shortly after the shooting president trump calling for unity in a nation where hate crime is on the rise but in fact as investigators search bowers home for evidence there's now renewed focus on the rhetoric the president himself uses bows appears to have been triggered by a white extremist conspiracy theory about u.s. jews funding the caravan of central american migrants making its way through mexico a theme president trump himself has alluded to the president and his supporters however disavowing any linkage is donald trump instead musing that perhaps an armed guard may have prevented this massacre shepparton see al-jazeera pittsburgh. before we go to our guest let's remind ourselves of some of the other attacks one woman died in charlottesville virginia when a car plowed into
4:25 pm
a crowd cheering rival protests by white supremacists and racists mosques became a targets one in michigan was burned down another in arizona broken in two and a homemade bomb was detonated at an islamic center in minnesota african-americans were attacked by whites a university student in maryland was stabbed to death and a sixty six year old man in baltimore was killed with a sword immigrants were also victims a white man was kicked out of a bar in kansas city after a racially abusing two indian men he returned and shot them killing one. let's now bring in our guest joining us enough late new jersey we have steven rogers he's a member of the trump for president and vice reboard and a former member of the f.b.i. national joint terrorism task force in new york starts copula c.e.o. of ben the arc that's a jewish. action group and in boston glenn call former deputy national intelligence officer the turns national threats of the cia a warm welcome to you all starts
4:26 pm
a lot to start in new york with still. you've written this open letter also being the u.s. president donald trump to denounce white nationalism you'll very convinced that it's because of his rhetoric that's allowed the pittsburgh to happen why do you think i absolutely believe that this president and his administration and all of those who enable him have created an environment where so many of us are in danger jews are in danger muslim communities are in danger sic communities immigrant communities people of color communities trans communities all of us have been named explicitly and implicitly in the rhetoric in the. campaign. rallies that have been held we have been made to be known to the rest of this country as dangerous as menaces which we all know is not true and what we also know is that when language and the vitriol and when the tone
4:27 pm
is so. when it is so elevated we can be certain that someone will take that tone as permission to create in cause violence what happened this weekend and actually what happened to that with the murders of the two black people in kentucky this week all of these are examples of what is inevitable when we have a president and when we have an entire republican party who refuses to denounce white white nationalism who refuses to renounce white supremacy and who create the conditions where people feel like they can act without repercussions our communities are being terrorized and this president needs to be held accountable but this is a very strong let's some could perhaps accuse you by saying that president donald trump is not welcome in pittsburgh of amping up the rhetoric and using the same type of language as you're accusing the u.s. president of well i would i would frame it differently the letter says very clearly
4:28 pm
that trump and members of his cabinet and this administration would in fact be welcome in pittsburgh and everywhere else with this simple request that he and all members of the republican party denounce white nationalism that is in should be quite straightforward white nationalists are extremists white nationalists have been known to be called and are domestic terrorists there is absolutely no reason why the president of the united states and the republican party and its members should not have the common decency and the moral compass to simply say that white nationalism is not acceptable in the united states let me bring in stephen roach is in new jersey here you've had to our guest as how to say president u.s. president donald trump is responsible for the rhetoric that's fueled the qana hatred we've seen over the weekend would you agree with that. absolutely not the
4:29 pm
president of the united states and the republican party and democrat party and every decent living human being on this earth has denounced white nationalism bias and prejudice on the face of this earth that's number one number two look i've been in law enforcement for thirty eight years and i've learned one thing that those who commit acts of violence and crime they're the ones accountable and responsible for their actions we have gone through decades of violence on television violence on radio violence in the newspapers we've been fed in this country decades of violence from hollywood i mean look we have a culture that has been growing up for years on violence so it is unfair on unwarranted the to blame this on the rhetoric of the president of the united states and let me add this you have the jewish communities throughout this country do support the president the prime minister of israel supports the president so at the
4:30 pm
end of the day this is not to be pinned on the president and his rhetoric or anybody else's rhetoric for that matter the people who committed these crimes acts of violence are responsible for that but the healing we have to begin and i agree this point we have to be grant begin to think about healing and it's going to be must begin in our elementary schools we must talk more and teach more about anti-semitism and prejudice we haven't been doing much of that and we should focus our attention on that like you say you've been in laurens for spent thirty eight is you all saying that there is a violent of violence a culture of violence in the us but nothing happens in a vacuum. where else can you is is the reason the pittsburgh shooting happened is because the shooter felt and enabled by a rise in white nationalism in the u.s. because he felt that the u.s. president certain members of his administration have been sympathetic or at least
4:31 pm
understanding of white nationalists if not outwardly supporting them. well look i can't get into this individual's mind i mean there have been criminals who i have interviewed over the years who have said that. they have certain beliefs certain ology that they believe in but never never have i heard anyone say well i blame it on one particular person one particular actress or actor or president or politician i think that's kind of using that person in this case the president as a scapegoat look that we have people all over this country look at the actors and even some of the sports figures calling out for violence eric holder maxine waters calling out for for people to commit violent acts against republicans i don't think they're responsible for some lunatic walking into a restaurant doing what they did a few weeks ago to mitch mcconnell and others so accountability and responsibility is on the shoulders of those who committed the crimes let me bring in boston ahead
4:32 pm
and then call you had that the it was an individual lunatics who used. the how of the how much of this has to do with being able to operate much more openly now being able to say that i am a white nationalist and they're full these are my beliefs do you think things have changed for the worse in the united states of america. i don't think so i know so it's not a question of my opinion or even. an informal assessment there's empirical data that demonstrates that this is the case for years the intelligence community has assessed formally that's includes the f.b.i. the cia all the law enforcement that the greatest danger to american lives and treasure in the united states comes from the far right militia vigilante groups unfortunately or tragically terribly the intelligence community was not really
4:33 pm
allowed to say that clearly because according to the republican leadership who denied us the authorization to state that that would then tar quote unfairly the conservatives who are the republicans but that that is clear also just as when in sports your body goes where you turn your head similarly our thoughts go where our words lead us words have have imp practical physical material demonstrably will effect and to allege that statements that create a false equivalence between whites nationalists let's call them what they are racists and american fascists with people who oppose that is either disingenuous or naive it's a fact let me bring in new york hence toskala play you just heard but both i guess have to say the defamation the reporting the rise in hate crimes has gone up by
4:34 pm
fifty was going to fifty seven percent a d. a big spike since the us president took over what's the language that the us president uses that worries you the most before the pittsburgh it's had happens will you will you alarmed by the kind of things that he was saying. yes i've been alarmed by this president from the moment he took office and in fact when he started his candidacy and i just want to double down on the words of the speaker who just spoke before me i really want to make sure that it is very clear that the jewish community seventy six percent of the jewish community did not vote for dollars from thirty percent of the jewish community only identify as republicans we are overwhelmingly a can pick a community that does not support this agenda this administration's agenda and the language the rhetoric the rallies the incitement to mob violence the
4:35 pm
scapegoating this is creating a sense of permission for the individuals who do follow trump and this administration to act brazenly and to act as if they are not going to have consequences and because of that i think it is imperative that all of us around the country all of us who feel like we are in the crosshairs right now of a dangerous administration who is not interested in caring for our lives the lives of our families or communities in honor of those who were slain in pittsburgh in honor of those who are calling for donald trump to either renounce white nationalism and his party the republicans to now it's white nationalism or they are not welcome in pittsburgh i believe it's time that all of us across the country hold up that call as well that all communities who feel like we are targets of trump make it clear that neither he or anyone in the republican party is welcome in our towns in our cities in our states unless they do the simple basic right thing
4:36 pm
which is to denounce white nationalism to make it clear that that is a party that does not want ties to these radical extremists but really these ideas are not only held any longer by extremists these are ideas that have become mainstream part of the republican party's platform overall and it needs to stop so even though it is in new jersey is it time for the u.s. president to denounce what nationalism. he has he has denounced white nationalism and so has the republican party and let me add this one of our guests used the word mob well that word mob didn't come out of the president's mouth that came out of the mouth of some of the river the democrats that was maxine waters and that was eric holder they were the ones that said let's get the mobs after the republican leadership in the restaurants so you see that my point is is that look we can point the finger in the direction of the president or in the direction of the democrats it's the person who commits the act of violence yeah we can do better we can work
4:37 pm
well together but what we must do is recognize the root cause of this problem has been going on for decades and decades and decades and we still have massive violence in chicago massive violence in baltimore that has nothing to do with the rhetoric that's going on my point is together we could work very well together if we start elementary school level start refocusing on the things that we need to focus on to stop violence and may i add one more thing it also begins in the home we've got to get parents engage with their children about all of the things that go on and this was a tragedy of all tragedies i've had in my lifetime this is the worst one and it should be a wake up call to everyone but let's. point the direction that we should to start healing these rooms playing call in boston. guest in new jersey steve merges is saying that it needs to begin at home that perhaps hollywood is to blame full of
4:38 pm
this that there are a there's a culture of violence in the u.s. that's perhaps of playing the role of this is it also to do the fact that the u.s. has some of the most lax gun control laws in the world is gun control a pos of this as well the ease of availability of weapons. well what we just heard are the tired old. shell game rationalizations when the facts are pretty clear statement that guns don't kill people people kill people is is part of this whole silly trope tragic trope. what are guns intended to do they're designed to kill people if people didn't have guns would guns kill people the answer is no there is a clear again imperiously demonstrably overwhelmingly proven relationship between the availability of guns and the number of people who are killed by them in europe dozens of people per year in a are killed by handguns in
4:39 pm
a population that's larger than the united states in the united states it's twelve thousand per year what is the one difference between the two societies to civilizations or societies is the availability of guns so this business that it's because of video games or violence being condoned or not talked against in the home is dissembling its for the simple word for it is that it is a lie again either it is naive because it sincerely believe but wrong or it is misleading the facts are clear guns lead to death and gun control will reduce it that's just imperiously the monster demonstrated. there in new york this was very much about two about racism about anti semitism but you'll concerns a slightly larger than that in that you feel the minority communities are being targeted under this administration i'm going to toss you about the gun control laws do you think that would have helped or do you think the hatred would simply
4:40 pm
manifest itself in a different way. well i believe that we absolutely are country that needs to have an entire transformation on how we are approaching the issues of gun violence and gun control i absolutely agree we need to have a very different and aggressive set of reforms that in fact most gun owners most members of the n.r.a. most folks who actually use guns for things like hunting and to provide food for their family they too also want for there to be commonsense solutions so that people aren't using guns to murder and accidentally cause deaths i do believe as well that the slaughter of eleven people on saturday morning during a prayer service when a baby was being named that that did happen at the hands of an individual who was wielding a gun and i also do believe that the hatred in the bigotry and the ability to
4:41 pm
dehumanizing an entire community of people entire communities of people mean that there will be individuals who are given a platform by our leader in this country the president of the united states who calls them fine people that these individuals will find ways to harm and injure and kill others of us who this president the republican party and many others have deemed to be. people who don't matter people whose lives are not worth saving are caring about so yes it's true i do very much believe that we need to have a very different set of gun reforms in this country and there are fantastic organizations that are doing that work i do want us to keep a focus on the fact that this violence happened because we have as a country created an environment where certain communities are deemed to be more
4:42 pm
disposable indispensable than others and for all of us who are in the crosshairs of this administration this administration who is too cowardly in this moment to simply denounce white nationalism right now today let's have everyone just say white nationalism is not acceptable in the united states we will not only want to get israel running out of jena will not i'm going. to come in there because we already outside i do want to get you all again stephen roach is this two questions i really want to ask you his gun control do you need gun control would a good guy with a gun have been able to stop the attack in pittsburgh and secondly why doesn't the president denounce white nationalism in clear terms in the wake of the pittsburgh. ok once again i must tell here that he has denounced white nationalism as has the republican party he's done that a few times so that's already been done and if he needs to do it again and i

believe he does i'm sure he's going to do it again but regard to gun control yes the prior speakers right there should be common sense gun regulations or some sort of guidelines that could keep guns away from mentally deranged people but let me say this chicago has the toughest gun control laws in the nation the highest murder rate by guns baltimore high murder rate by guns washington d.c. one of the toughest murder rate by guns the fact that a matter is and look i've been involved in a shooting i've seen victims who have been on the other end of a gun barrel and had they had a gun in their hands maybe some of them would be alive responsible gun owners with guns as we've seen this past week by the way will will put an end to these people who are coming in and at the very least minimize more violence if a person did have a weapon in the synagogue well who knows what would have happened to bring it and we all running out since we already have a gun but let me just bring in boston today and then call i saw you shaking your

head it was steven rogers was saying why are you shaking your head well this is another imperiously proven mistruths and false statement all of the data shows that the possession of guns actually by people who think that it will lead to their self help for self defense leads to an increased danger of their being them being harmed by by somebody else with a gun or violence. it doesn't it does not make one safer it puts one in greater danger that simply imperiously proven. thanks to all august save norges glenn call in store scotland thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter handle is at a.j.

london or other developments sources have told that the turkish prosecutor's office is not happy following his meeting with saudi officials top saudi prosecutor. had been expected to provide testimonies from the eighteen suspects being held in saudi arabia but neither side has turned over the evidence to alan fischer he joins us from outside saudi consulate in istanbul where hearing that there might be a high level visitor there soon. well normally behind me you get a clear shot of the front door of the consulate here you can see that a number of photographers have gathered there's a car there as well the reason they've gathered there is that there is the thought the rumor that this so the prosecutor is going to visit the consulate here in istanbul before he heads back to riyadh if that happens in the next couple of minutes just as we hear police siren to my right to him if anything happens in the
4:53 pm
next few minutes we will bring that to you but certainly there is frustration between the saudis and the turks after the meeting between the senior prosecutor from saudi arabia and this country apart from istanbul there is an impasse in that both sides didn't get the information from the other that they were hoping for the turks certainly wanted the statements of the eighteen people that are currently being held in saudi arabia in connection with the death of jamal khashoggi the prosecutor said that it was their intention still to ask for the extradition of those eighteen to bring them to face justice here in turkey and we know that the saudi foreign minister has already said that that's simply not going to happen as far as this saudis are concerned there is frustration on their part because the turks didn't make all the information that they have available no we nor do we think that the forward every incident in the consulate in detail there is
4:54 pm
allegedly audio and video recordings which haven't been made public obviously but the suggestion is that that was an intelligence gathering operation and the turks told the saudis that until indictments are actually filed against those that they want to bring charges against then the reality is that the wall naught. they simply won't be providing that information to the saudis that there is a frustration as they say because from the tax they certainly want all eighteen to appear in turkey to be charged here they want information to from saudi arabia they want to know. where is jamal khashoggi is body or are we talking about body parts remember on the so-called hit team there is someone who arrived with a bone saw to dismember jamal khashoggi did that actually happen where was the body moved to and then there is this mysterious local cooperator as the saudis called him a turk who was given the task of disposing the body of the truck wants to know who is that does he actually exist and while the saudis argue that what happened inside
4:55 pm
the consulate is a crime that happened on saudi soil and under international law that's probably true the turks are saying this local cooperative if you dispose of the body then he has committed a crime on turkish soil and he is a turkish citizen and therefore we would like to at the very least interview him and find out more about what actually happened no no laura yet another question but i've lost the contact with the studio so let me start by saying that there are two parts of the investigation that is being pushed forward by the turks in the next couple of days one they have sent a camera don't check the sewers in and around the consul general residence just a short walk from here they say they will analyze the results of that and perhaps make that public in the next couple of days another thing they're looking at is the consul general house that is a fire there it is clear that it's been used. to bottom we're not entirely sure but what the turks are saying is that the clean up around about that has been
4:56 pm
immaculate the place has been left spotless to the degree where they can't even find the fingerprints of the consul general anywhere in that room and to them that is highly suspicious and so that's just two small seemingly insignificant things that they're putting together to find out if they can actually discover where jamal khashoggi body you know lies ok allan for the moment or leave it that will come back to you if we see any movement outside inside a concert pianist on the memory thanks very much. well the white house says u.s. president donald trump is still considering action against saudi arabia for the killing of jamal khashoggi white house correspondent kimberly hall has more now on that side of the story we haven't heard much since we know that the cia director bill went to turkey she went there because the president asked for audio and video intelligence which was not supplies so we were trying to get some answers about whether or not she and hassled actually heard the audio that is rumored to have
4:57 pm
been released and in fact details of the interrogation of john but also his murder when asked about this sarah sounders had this to say the president met last week with cia director gina houseboy after having gathered additional intelligence on her overseas trip and the administration is weighing different options will make an announcement about what the decision is going action. now the president did promise when this story first developed severe punishment for even the highest levels of the saudi government if in fact it was discovered there have been lies and deception was certainly the president has acknowledged he believes there has been but so far he has defended the denials of not only the crown prince but also the king that they had any understanding of what happened with regard to this that they did not in any way ordered the killing of. but certainly the white house is as you
4:58 pm
heard there from sara sanders weighing its options they are not ruling out taking action against saudi arabia but again we should note with just eight days until a u.s. election the president it appears has decided that there is no electoral advantage to talking about this story and they appears he is waiting until after the vote given the controversy all nature of the story and the fact that it could play into the minds of the voters when they make their decision when it goes time when it's time to go to the polls. some of the news now in indonesian divers a scouring the ocean floor for the black box flight recorders from a passenger plane that crashed on monday with one hundred eighty nine people on board they have recovered human remains and belongings off the coast of java island lying there boeing seven three seven max which went into service only months ago plunged into the sea just minutes after taking off from jakarta the pilot radioed air traffic control asking to turn back just before the jet went down when hey has more from jakarta. efficiently it seems we are still no clear as to what happened
4:59 pm
to this plane was why it crashed into the java sea minutes after takeoff from jakarta but increasingly speculation seems to be turning to some sort of problem with the instrumentation on board that plane we know according to lie in the air that there was a problem with the same plane the day before it crashed before it took off from bali to jakarta there was a problem with the plane they haven't said exactly what their problem was but they said the issue was rectified and it was cleared for takeoff and clearly it landed safely in jakarta we're now told by lyon near that on that flight from bali to the indonesian capital the pilot reported that there was a problem with the flight control system again it landed safely in the indonesian capital and then lionesses the problem was fixed again and it was cleared for takeoff on that ill fated flight on monday morning we're also seeing satellite data reported by independent flight monitoring web sites and they are showing what seems
5:00 pm
to be a fairly similar pattern between those two flights with some fluctuating speed and altitude soon after takeoff and both those flights from bali to jakarta and then the ill fated flight on monday morning from jakarta that crashed some twelve minutes after it took off from the indonesian capital in the meantime the search goes on in fact they are widening the search area on the job at sea they continue to find debris and body parts as well but still so far no sign of the main part of that plane. so the heads hair on al-jazeera or look at how brazil's right wing president elect has found support amongst minorities and in slums despite a history of racist remarks. and what the nature exercises and no way for a closer look at new battlefield technology.
