11:11 pm
african republic one of the world's most neglected conflicts an elected government is now in power but the violence between armed groups continues it's forced more than twenty thousand people from their homes this year so far little is hot sense this report from a refugee camp in congo bombed or was. it just arrived you leave displaced children in this refugee camp the latest victims of the an ending sectarian violence in central african republic. some had their homes burnt to the ground others were chased from their villages by young men with machetes and guns among them are survivors of unspeakable violence. ten year olds his mother is dead her father is gone killed because they were christian by their own muslim neighbors. she hid in the bush with her uncle then tried to return to her village but the men kept coming back so she had again. there's no hiding from the violence we want the arms to go
11:12 pm
the violence to stop we just want peace this is silliness you home an overcrowded refugee camp of twenty three thousand people surrounded by armed militia groups under siege and unable to leave the camp is that they are held hostage protected by a few overstretched u.n. troops celine wants answers she says she wants to be asking the questions and so we traded places and she took the microphone. will we find peace how can we make the violence stop when will i be able to return home we put her questions to visiting secretary general of the norwegian refugee council young angle and i hope she will be able to go back to our house but the reality is that you know the big forces of the armed groups and their lack of intention from this national community is not going to hurt their action really in this situation for these
11:13 pm
people is really desperate outside of the camp and outside of where this small girl is there are three armed groups and they deny people returning to their homes among the people living in this refugee camp are armed men in hiding not only do they target the humanitarian workers that bring them health they also attack the people that live in this camp it seems that there is no safe space for people to skate from the violence. at least them but was searching for food when she was gang raped at gunpoint by men she suspects are part of a christian armed group in the camp. they won't stop hurting girls here they think are objects for them to take rape is just part of living here despite the trauma of the violence committed by adults whether christian or muslim children in this refugee camp show a brief moment of unity in
11:14 pm
a country torn and looking for peace nicholas hauke al jazeera talk about during and earlier we spoke to yan egland you saw him in the report he's the secretary general of the norwegian refugee council he says the conflict has been forgotten. well i'm now in western central african republic it's one of the poorest most violent most neglected places on earth really all of the people in this community where i stand now have been displaced by violence each and every family have family members killed in the most gruesome fashion but then it's also as you may see a and i don't hope because here we are really building houses for people where displaced and we do it from both communities christians muslims and this and there is now an island of peace here these people want to rebuild their lives but it's very hard to get funding for these projects really the central african republic is
11:15 pm
forgotten i think we have to build peace brick by brick literally here if we get resources and if there is a more coherent effort for peace that includes neighboring countries like china and sudan and cameroon and the congo etc i'm optimistic for the future of the central african republic if not. if it continues right now we may have another tactic to list make war. zones like this that could threaten the lives of millions well sudan and the united states are moving ahead with negotiations to remove the african nation from the list of state sponsors of terrorism so don has been on the list since one thousand nine hundred three when president obama the best years government was accused of cell touring armed groups including al qaeda leader osama bin ladden removal from the list would help revive sudan's economy and improve its international relations last year
11:16 pm
a sanctions were lifted but sudan was kept on the lists the sudan chad border meanwhile is a trading hub for merchants in sudan's darfur states but the border which has been appointed tension between the two countries in the past is also a route for smuggling goods in and out of the country but morgan has more from west star four on the border which odds. i believe how much has been in the trade business in west are for for more than twenty years he says his business has expanded over the past few years as he no longer sells his goods to sydney's traders. so. we take our sudanese products to sell some of the things to charity and try to secure our border they bring them back to their country. hundreds of traders in sudan's west are for buy and sell goods across the sudan chad border for many it's a way to keep their businesses alive but the border isn't always secure a book at him and remembers the times when violence plague the border affecting his
11:17 pm
business. sometimes clashes with long border traders we had a fear that we had to close the shops. but there has been. border tensions rose when the darfur conflict began in two thousand and three in two thousand and six chad a q sudan of backing a failed rebel attack on the capital in gym a no card to return the accusation in two thousand and eight when darfur rebels attacked the sudanese capital and security isn't the only issue causing tension at the joint border the border has been shut down several times over the past decade due to the smuggling of weapons cars and other goods across the two countries. with a history of smuggling and movement of armed groups between the seven hundred fifty kilometer border between sudan and chad securing it is vital for both countries a special joint deployment force has been increased this year but while that has reduced the number of armed groups the smuggling continues that's because those
11:18 pm
joint forces established in two thousand and ten are not present along the whole border with goods worth millions of dollars being smuggled annually local authorities in west are for say securing the border is a pirate's and those who are yeah but i mean we have the joint forces established their directives from the presidents of the two countries to protect trade there is an active trade between our country and chad if we want benefits for citizens of both countries so securing the border ensures trade continues in the right way abdullah says he doesn't know if the child in traders who buy from him take the goods back to their country illegally but he hopes to continue to trade with him regardless so that his business continues to thrive he will morgan i'll just era west are for. hello again the headlines on al-jazeera police in california say thirteen people are dead after a gunman opened fire inside a bar in the city of thousand oaks a sheriff's deputies among the dead as well as the gunman around
11:19 pm
a dozen people have been injured. eleven victims the suspect is twelve and sergeant willis makes thirteen. the only weapon we have found that we believe was used was a handgun but it's still early on and we haven't gone through the scene in detail yeah well there are new developments in the murder case a saudi journalist. sources have told al jazeera that hydrofluoric acid has been found in the saudi consul general's residence in istanbul investigators believe these body may have been disposed off their u.s. president donald trump says he will have a much stronger opinion on the case next week on that the matter of more than a month since the death of mr show you know journalist thing very terrible thing do you think saudi arabia is guilty of of having a murder and if so i want to show your opinion on that subject over the next week and i'm working very closely with congress and working together some very talented
11:20 pm
people and we're working with congress we're working with turkey and we're working with saudi arabia and i'm forming a very strong opinion meanwhile trump pacifier the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions and he'll be replaced by his chief of staff matthew whitaker who's been highly critical of the miller investigation critics say would occur must immediately recuse himself from overseeing the probe that looks into possible interference by russia and the twenty sixteen presidential election a pakistani christian woman acquitted of blasphemy has been freed from prison the netherlands is now offering her temporary asylum. acquittal after eight years on death row sparked nationwide protests by hardliners local media say she's on the way out of the country despite a supreme court ruling that would bar her from leaving pakistan. the leader of the jose rebels is vowed never to surrender to saudi backed forces in yemen more than one hundred fifty people have been killed in days of fighting that's as pro-government troops advanced on the rebel held off and. those are the latest
11:21 pm
headlines on al-jazeera we will have more news for you off the street. we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter where you call home al-jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to. al-jazeera. and i'm really here in the stream today anti semitism in the united states after. pennsylvania or should be done to address hatred against americans if you have a connection to this story or want to share your thoughts on how to tackle anti-semitism we want to hear from you send us a comment live on you tube or on twitter.
11:22 pm
in the aftermath of the pittsburgh synagogue shooting what should be done to fight anti semitism in the u.s. eleven people were killed last month in what has been described as the deadliest attack on jews in the united states the alleged gunman a white man named robert bowers total thirties that he wanted all jews to die and that they were committing genocide to his people hours before the shooting hours also posted an online rant aimed at a jewish american organization that helps refugees move to the u.s. in the states anti semitic incidence increased by fifty six point seven percent in twenty seventeen that's according to the anti-defamation league jewish american groups that track anti semitism blame the surge on political rhetoric that emboldens white nationalists and online environments that easily allowed jewish conspiracy theories to flourish so today we want to understand why anti-semitic
11:23 pm
ideas persist with us to discuss this in new york atol eleven she researches online extremism at media matters for america and pennsylvania rabbi margo adman he is the spiritual leader of the british saloon jurist center and lives in pittsburgh also in new york tara isabella burton she is a historian and covers religion for vox welcome everyone to the stream is really good to have you here i wish it was under a better circumstances but what an excellent opportunity to be out of really what's happening in the u.s. right now for our i want you to look at my laptop here this is the anti-defamation league i mentioned them in our introduction look at their mission to stop the defamation of the jewish people to secure justice and fair treatment or set up in one thousand nine hundred thirteen the shocker is if we look at the past year the number of anti semitic attacks or incidents that they registered over three
11:24 pm
thousand registered is the worst here who knows what other ones there might be the bigger the bubble you see here the more the instances and. from external smartest parents paltz shootouts what promises offense propaganda and in the instance rabbi i'm thinking just looking at the. crease and just the ones. that we know about if we all see why this was happening would you be out teen. if. it's a difficult question to answer the simple answer i suppose for why anti-semitism is on the rise is that right now in america our rhetoric and our dialogue have gotten really toxic and really negative it comes from. the situation and in politics it's related of course on some level to some of the things that the
11:25 pm
conversation around immigration and i'll just highlight one direct connection that your viewers and watchers online may not be aware of but. individuals that attack tree of life that i goggled and change ago was directly responding to an event that was held in the jewish community nationwide called national refugee shabat in which current issues all over the country were speaking about immigrants and refugees and this disturbed individual was really upset the jews who historically come from immigrant communities and the greater united states over the last hundred years and in large numbers one hundred twenty years. it was upset that we were supporting that kind of work and he thought that that meant that we should be hurt and killed and that's just one instance but if you want to go way back and to some of those it's been part of american history going back hundreds of years.
11:26 pm
taras what we're talking about today s. and seventy's and in the u.s. and can you help us understand what makes it different in the united states as opposed to perhaps across in europe oh in the u.k. all in france which also has issues of anti-semitism and on him it is an attack what's different in the u.s. sure well absolutely i think that there's a long legacy of similarity in narratives between europe and the united states in terms of this sort of permission conspiracy theory that we see and have seen surrounding the the tree of life shooting that the he was the puppet master the globalist who secretly controlling world affairs that's of course not new or not unique to the united states but absolutely i think in the age of trump in particular the way in which white nationalists and white supremacists in this country more generally have allied with themselves with anti-semitism alongside
11:27 pm
other forms of racism alongside other forms of nativism is very much tied into this particular cultural moment and i don't think we can talk about the anti-semitism in the united states without talking about the way in which trump has consistently legitimized anti-semitic forces narrative and ideas. for example give us one. around the time of the confirmation hearings of brett kavanaugh the supreme court nominee who was accused of sexual a number of instances of sexual assault. trump suggested that those who were protesting the nomination had been given money by george soros in order to protest and basically destabilize the democratic process and by doing that trump very much dog whistle very unsubtly as it happened and narrative that we've seen many times before in history that
11:28 pm
a mysterious jewish billionaire is somehow using his money to destabilize democracy and that is something that goes back at least to the late eighteenth century if not earlier so very much i think trump is sort of plugging into centuries old conspiracy narratives and which wouldn't say quite what washing them but removing them from context and then allowing them to enter and reenter the public sphere where in turn they trickle down into the ears of listeners like robert bower now tara you mentioned trump and you also mention the billionaire philanthropist george soros and you are on the same same wavelength as several of our community members so i want to play a comment we got from rabbi donny a rutenberg a rabbi and author who says just as you did that this is not new and this idea of using jews as a target for people people's rage and anger is something we've seen time and time again here's what she told the stream. the trumpet ministration has been using this method to great effect spinning conspiracy theories about how soros is paying for
11:29 pm
everything globalists again and again it's more of a fog and then dog whistle and so then people both on the right and the left have their attention focused and sometimes on jews and a story about jews rather than. who's holding power which is. premised it's a premise is. in this country. to tell yet just to make it clear for all of our audience make the link for us between white supremacy and anti-semitism because clearly there are several people online who are already making that link yes to this is something that i've definitely written about. i think the important point to emphasize is that white supremacy in the united states and anti-semitism are not extra her book they're intimately interconnected
11:30 pm
and if you look at white supremacist rhetoric dating you know the one nine hundred thirty s. to the present day. the general gist of it is that. while minorities and people of color are to be thier and should be shunned and attacked. the white supremacist narrative is that it is jews who organize and finance and sort of mysteriously orchestrate. the activities of minorities and people of color and receiving that as the motivation for weight premises violence those in the case of robert powers who felt that jews were seeking to the white race with quote unquote invaders. and you know we've seen that in the seventy's in the eighty's in the thirty's and forty's land. whites
11:31 pm
premises in the south who were segregationist. jewish communists finding the end of a lacy p.c. in order to promote race mixing and miseducation. the same. theories led a group called the order or the silent brotherhood to murder jewish talk radio host alan burke in one thousand nine hundred four so again these are these are old theories it's just. i just want to just there's a theory there's a theory of conspiracy theory called. white genocide. which is incredibly popular on the far right internet. and across the world which posits directly that jews are orchestrating the dilution of the way racists purity by encouraging immigration and again
11:32 pm
and that's something that. openly nationalist openly anti immigrant term administration had and encouraged in many different ways including sort of winking references to their rhetoric and not some winking references ok. thinking about this they said. thank you i think that point was really interesting in that it brings up a larger conversation that jews often have with each other which is whether we are white or whether we are jews and what the differences between that and i think raises this interesting point that because she is sometimes affiliate and aligned with communities of color and immigrant communities sometimes there are some raw. white nationalists or people on the far right who prefer this country be.
11:33 pm
exclusively white or. population exactly the way it is right now since almost everybody except the native americans came to this country somehow but on the other hand we as a predominantly white skinned individuals as jews are in america predominantly we can pass and we can slide by and if i'm not wearing this then i can get by as nothing else when i was nothing like our vision and this past weekend i wore my baseball cap when i was out and the reason was twofold one is that i'm a little nervous there is that city which doesn't have a very large jewish population might react negatively to a jew but also because i live in pittsburgh and when people ask oh you've got a little funny out are you jewish where are you from sam from pittsburgh it's a whole conversation about trauma and struggle right now that i may not want to
11:34 pm
dump on some nail. you think i'm wrong if i can see the far right white supremacy c.m.e. . jewish people. want. not just the asian with people of color and assisting people color and being allies but they actually don't think that i don't think the jewish people are white so this is a conspiracy theory that i have trouble getting my head around help me out. here and. so i think one way that you can really. the fact that white supremacists don't consider choose white is through to really popular whites from assists and extrude best slogans so there's one thing or something. which. kind of putting the names of jews
11:35 pm
in parentheses you might have you know some twitter or facebook. and then there's a extremist slogan called name that you mean that you which. refers to pointing out nefarious jewish influence. and also pointing out who it organizations are jewish so you'll see these graphic so you know c.n.n. and. the new york times that point out. you know put a picture of a lot of jewish stars over a jewish quarter. and i think this points to a well known white truth the idea that jews are. agents school is to destroy greatness from with it. are even more of a threat because we are way past. i just wanted you to say that while the me just
11:36 pm
to share that with know some sunny background behind this is quite jarring because i want to look at people who went to synagogue a couple of weeks ago and and didn't and the only. because we're talking about how do we get to states with the jewish community all jewish community. rabbi into connecting it to. pittsburgh and to the synagogue as you explained to us a little bit. and then this happened so we can have one of our very stands as to why there is a rising anti-semitism but then how do you deal with a massacre like this. you know you're going to make me cry i was in senegal last week with my six year old daughter we went on the full lockdown and we interrupted the traditional jewish service by. praying for what was happening.
11:37 pm
we opened up the book of songs and we went through a number of songs that are in our liturgy that are meant to kind of be there in times of strife and trouble and we weren't allowed to leave synagogue until the police could tell us that we were all safe to go and then you know we kind of learned the horrible truth and then a few days later i was asked because the rabbinic community the jewish community here in pittsburgh it's very small and. there's only so many people who are able to cover for a massive tragedy like this. there are eleven piano rolls and eleven what are called shivah which is a seven day mourning period and there were literally not enough rabbis to go around and they asked me to cover. for one of the families and the sense of trauma in the room i mean first of all you've lost. a beloved uncle grandfather spouse
11:38 pm
brother. but on top of that. it's a normal desk because you lost someone and it's anonymous death because it's tragic and traumatic it's public it's national and it's motivated entirely by hate and that's i think was we didn't talk about it you know i don't think they are ready to deal with the fact that this isn't a series of deaths this isn't a series of even murders this is a series of murders based on what our identity is who we are and in a place of extremes you know a synagogue is a place where people come to pray and the last thing i'll add to this is these were . the best of all these were not just people who are jews but and are just observant jews and jews to come to synagogue with the said i got service starts at ten o'clock in the morning the murderer broke into ten o'clock in the morning these are the people who come early to set up to put out coffee who leave the service to
11:39 pm
know all the songs to know all the words and. these are the best of us these were the people who are the warmest and most giving of their time and energy and they reach out to face communities all over the world and all over the country and to lose those holy souls those spirits it it breaks your heart it breaks your heart every time you see someone else and in squirrel hill in the neighborhood i live in where you know everybody knows somebody who was killed everybody knows somebody who goes to synagogue or somebody was killed everybody themselves was a synagogue and feeling threatened just stepping back into the synagogue on saturday was hard for a lot of us rabbi thank you for sharing your experiences with us and of course our condolences to you and your community i want to share a few reflections from others in your community because as you said everyone knows someone because it's such a small community so a.j. irwin here on twitter says i work at a coffee shop
11:40 pm
a few blocks away from the tree of life synagogue this morning we received a call from families in newtown connecticut who were affected by the sandy hook school shooting donating money to our coffee shop to give free drinks to the squirrel hill community and that was november third she goes on to say telling the stream that i honestly never felt as if anti-semitism was a national issue maybe because i've been isolated within the safety of this community that is so overwhelmingly accepting of all religions if anything i believe this event has shown how easily hate can be masked and so it is on that note masking hate and what that is like to live in a community that is so welcoming and then to be reminded that the outside community is not and i want to share this video comment from dr abigail orange she's a writer and historian and pittsburgh and this is what she had to say. as it was that eleven of my fellow pittsburgh jews had been murdered in anti-semitic attack i sobbed yes for my community which is so close knit that these losses touched most
11:41 pm
everyone but for another loss to the loss of my belief that jews in the united states were not till vulnerable i'm historian of twentieth century american jewry and i have devoted years to studying the way as the jews have built relationships with other threatened communities to support civil rights and social justice movements they've also been really critical of moments when jews have chosen to protect their own interests rather than support racism and other social justice causes. where it's buying a house voting or interacting with the police. and no not all jews are why. jews with later skin have benefited. in ways that their neighbors of color are not so tired i wanted to wreck that because she mentioned some of what some points that we've already discussed but you can hear the emotion in her voice of course and i know this is something that anyone who's listening with half
11:42 pm
a heart can relate to and built the sadness that she feels and that the rabbi feels what's your take on this. well i think i can see since i am actually from a mixed jewish and christian family and so absolutely i'd say that i grew up somewhat insulated i grew up in new york city a very liberal place with a passing for non jewish i don't have a jewish name but grew up very much. in a family that celebrated jewish holidays together and then separately with another side of my family christian holidays so i think it is absolutely true that for some of us who did grow up in particular. particularly sheltered pockets of america this was not perhaps immediately apparent but i don't think that i think that just goes to show a how insidious and perdition of anti-semitism is that it can bubble below the surface but also that in our current moment technology from.
11:43 pm
social media for both mainstream sites like twitter and far right sites like the gab allow a lot of this hatred that is perhaps bubbling under the surface to proliferate become public and to find other adherents and increase. and increase the number of people being radicalized and i know tully has done a lot of research on this i just want to share he says he because this happened from the department of justice in the u.s. today soft as a mosque at the tree of life synagogue and i have a little my laptop here the department of justice and now it's a new high crimes web site is easy it's not a coincidence obviously right by the spot and of just thinking ok we we need to do something what else is happening off to these tragic deaths. well synagogues are rethinking security and then the broader conversation america course has to do
11:44 pm
with guns and and who should be armed and how armed they should be and when they should be armed and who should be disarmed and that's a really difficult conversation to have because it actually it's one of the areas where the jewish community is split i think there are not not down the middle. i think most jews are in favor increased gun control and the government recognizing that there are people who are too dangerous to own guns and they really shouldn't have them. but there are always those people in our communities who think that we as a synagogue community or we as a organized jewish community need to be able to protect ourselves better and that means arming ourselves that makes me really uncomfortable one of my colleagues said it really well the other day which is that i got a socially welcoming places but the places where we want people to come and we want people to feel comfortable we want people to feel our love and we don't want
11:45 pm
a series of blast doors and metal detectors and armed guards in order to come in and pray so that's that's the the bigger more difficult conversation i would just like it if our government could connect the dots between the hate speech folks and the gun people if you if you are someone who is posting dangerous violent anti semitic anti-black anti-gay rhetoric online and you are known to own a dozen gun show you should have a giant red flag over your head for no brainer i'm going to wrap up a conversation on the website of the cio fly synagogue and police the funerals to have been coming up just one line he really stuck out at me the support shown rule of law and love to be stronger than what an amazing sentiment because after this conversation sweeney hawt. to think that. the website of the synagogue. was actually killed this conversation. people

11:50 pm
you know with the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com new developments in the murder case of saw the journalist jamal ji turkish sources have told al-jazeera that hydrofluoric acid has been found at the saudi consul general is residence and istanbul investigators believe that kushal g.'s body may have been disposed of there let's go straight to our correspondent. he's joining us from outside the consulate in istanbul jamal talk us through this new information. well as the latest developments and maybe helps on sort of one of the main questions that has remained until this point. which is what's happened through the body of the late journalist for several weeks now people have been asking that question not least the turks who have been demanding from the saudis to release information with regards to these local collaborators which they claimed they hired or cooperated
11:51 pm
with to dispose of the body of jamal official she off that he was assassinated in the consulate however now it's like investigators say that they are been able to collect some sort of evidence and samples from it well which is in the back garden of the consul general's home just a couple of hundred meters from the consulate and that those samples contain amongst other things hydrofluoric acid as well as other chemicals that are used to destroy you and essentially get rid of or dissolve body parts essentially they haven't been clear as to exactly where they've been able to get samples of body parts or d.n.a. but they say they've definitely have those samples of the chemicals from that well what's significant here elizabeth so no it is that for two weeks after november the second of the german officials he entered the building and was never to be seen again the turks had requested from the saudis to be given access not only to the consulate behind me but also to the consul generals home it took exactly fifteen
11:52 pm
days for that approval to reach for them to enter the consul general home it is a large property in an area which is known to have larger villas it's a lot more affluent area in istanbul and therefore the grounds are big it took a long time for the investigators to go through it's by nightfall they discovered this roll of the back of the home they weren't able to lower themselves fully into that's well maybe because it in the have the equipment maybe because as i mentioned it was nightfall they did request to come back again after they were given that initial permission to search the property they were never given that permission and therefore whether there are other. at the bottom of that well we're not quite sure about the latest developments as you mentioned is that the attorney general's office has told us that they have chemical samples of acid than other chemicals that they've managed to gather from the consul journals home and jamal it is just the laces and formation that the turkish citizens have revealed every bit of
11:53 pm
information is damaging and yet interesting we haven't actually heard anything from the saudis or the americans in a few days now bought president out of the presidents and the one and trump will be meeting soon around the same time that president trump has said that he'll have a much stronger opinion on what happened to jamal khashoggi so what can we expect from that meeting i mean this case has been bizarre to say the least elizabeth and not least when you look at the comments or lack thereof from political leaders around the world and when the truth is the language they use this idea that trump said he would have a stronger opinion with regards to what's happened is very strange considering that the turks say that they gave all the evidence that they had or shared it's at least with the head of the cia the intelligence organization in the u.s. and therefore doesn't leave room for opinion and so much as it leaves room for a decision as to what you choose to do with regards to really
11:54 pm
a reaction to this crime that was committed not only against a model q but against the vienna convention against international norms and against a nato ally of the u.s. in terms of its sovereignty we're talking about turkey obviously in the assassination of the which they believe is an affront to their sovereignty trump was speaking to journalists in the past twenty four hours here's a little of what he had to say. jamal i am i do apologize we don't actually have that recording from president trump but that was him speaking at that media conference about the u.s. mint and elections all about and again all he actually had to say was that i have a much stronger opinion we'll leave it there for now and move on to a. challenge she is a criminologist based and istanbul and believes that saudi arabia may have stalled the investigation to allow time for the acid to dissolve kushal james remains
11:55 pm
boosler absent for example is something that we say mostly used. in the especially we say case that. for example because i want to get rid of bodies. so it actually fits into. the plan this won't be what it is a very it can be specified as a country. and the great basin wide. trade i would actually use as it is to completely get rid of evidence what they. say really depends on the how how much of the us it will to use less horse with the use it in these types of crimes time ease of the waves since the trade and that is where we actually understand the cost but still the tactics that were displayed from day one by the saudi officials because right from the beginning they denied they said that sequentially and then it was a denial in tripoli church authorities to go into the building and that to go about
11:56 pm
almost two weeks as well so the mall for example dismembered body is actually in essence is going to dissolve so time is the most important. now all the developments on the story can be found on the special page on our website including the latest episode of inside story which looks at the possibility that turkey still hasn't revealed the most damning evidence you'll find that by clicking either. all go into inside story under the show's benefits at al-jazeera dot com now why don't you get in touch with us we do want to hear from you on these stories you can send us your comments to any of our online platforms on twitter use the hash tag news grid one handle is at a.j. english we're also on facebook at facebook dot com forward slash al-jazeera or send us a message on whatsapp or telegram the number as past nine seven four five or one triple one four nine now another day another mass shooting in the us this time
11:57 pm
a gunman opened fire on hundreds of people at a weekly college night at a country music bar in southern california twelve people have been killed including a deputy sheriff who was on the verge of retirement the attacker was found dead inside the building it's not yet clear how he was killed the next here brian has more. the borderline bar and grill was packed for its wednesday college country music night when the gunman burst in and opened fire there were people there little dancing and just hanging out having a good time running you hear that and you just go belly up. it was before eleven facey in the city of thousand docks about sixty kilometers from los angeles who's going to come in the ski mask over his face but on the bottom and then out of whack the smart car behind it is just so glad we were shooting everything from. anything so it was really so we're. just smoke and
11:58 pm
we just saw it starts taking off so we just try to get down as fast we couldn't get out of there police were there within minutes. shots being fired. and felt there might be additional victims inside. on going through the front door . sheriff sergeant was struck multiple times with gunfire the local county sheriff had to announce his friend ron he less was did. the sergeant passed away at the hospital. about an hour. by the time a police swat team went inside the gunman's rampage was over he was dazed and faced again he says and now trying to work out why he opened fire on college students and joining an icehouse the group that i was hiding out with you know there were strangers or they might be anything you're going to be ok you know that's kind of. but i take away from this is that it is even though there's
11:59 pm
a lot of that in this world there's also a lot of good for the help and it comes almost two weeks after another mass shooting eleven people killed at a synagogue in pittsburgh pennsylvania or i asked to watch all the families. of the fall of the thousand dogs community now joining dozens of others who've come face to face with gun violence in the united states and it's a horrific incident it's part of the horrors of our happening and in our country and everywhere and i think it's impossible to put any logic or any sense to the senseless with the midterm election bringing change on capitol hill gun control will again be on the political agenda alexy o'brian al jazeera. let's get more on this knowledge joined by jennifer built and she is in thousand oaks what do we know now do we have any more information about the incident or the shooter.
12:00 am
we do have a little bit more information lizabeth about this shooter they believe this is somebody that they have had contact with before a twenty nine year old man whose name was on the guns registration but not one hundred percent confirmed as the shooter they still don't know the motive or whether this incident is terrorism related elizabeth but what they do know is that this was. a shooting that was done with a registered firearm and apparently someone that the sheriff's department had had contact with before and what you're looking at right now is the command post out in front of this borderline bar and grill where students would come every wednesday night for country music night out here it was a big deal because when you're over eighteen but yet under twenty one in the middle of the week you can go and do some country music dancing this small community of. people they had a lot of regulars that would come out here so they all sort of know each other and
12:01 am
are waiting for word on their loved ones and jennifer so gumbel's actually registered under the shooter's name can i ask what guy was going control laws like in california especially compared to the rest of the country. as you probably know california is a little bit more liberal less conservative as far as gun control goes there are many pro-gun control groups however this is a small a community between los angeles and santa barbara a big law enforcement presence in this community and this particular. event this this whole.
