12:00 am
now we're joined by jennifer broke and she is in thousand oaks what do we know now do we have any more information about the incident or the shooter. we do have a little bit more information a 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
12:01 am
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 are waiting for word on their loved ones and jennifer so was 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. well 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. was for country music for line dancing and there were some
12:02 am
comments from people who were inside some of the young people coming out saying they felt that they were targeted because they were a country music crowd which is usually more conservative and actually some of the people who were inside the building came out and said it would be easier to survive something like this if we were armed so it plays both sides you know you can be a victim of a shooting and be pro-gun control immediately afterward or the very opposite and so we're seeing that both sides of victims in this shooting survivors i'm both sides of that fence to have thank you very much for that for now that is jennifer bill cohen joining us live from thousand oaks thank you but we are going to get more on this so joined by joseph stack and baltimore he's the director of emergency general surgery at johns hopkins hospital he's also
12:03 am
a founder of the gun control advocacy group docs demand action and he is a survivor of gun violence himself very good to have you with us on al-jazeera as a firstly what do you think and feel hearing about another gun shooting especially being both a trauma surgeon and a survivor of gun violence yourself yeah well thanks for having me this morning and it's really unfortunate that i have to be with you and the rest of the viewers because yet again we're facing another senseless tragedy you know my heart goes out to thousand oaks the community the victims. and at the same time i look at this and i say this could have been prevented. and day in day out we are seeing people that are being killed in our communities all across this
12:04 am
country and it's time that we are responsible for implementing commonsense solutions to prevent these type of tragedies from happening well do you think that there's a better chance now of implementing those common sense solutions what you say are common sense solutions now that there is a change and congress could that lead to any substance of change on gun control there are of course people that a cynical we have you is writing in to us jonathan says if we didn't and that new gun laws after sandy hook which children under the age of six did do you think corporate oligarchy will do anything now you know well i think as you know we just recently had an election where we had a number of candidates like jennifer weston from virginia antonio don't gado from new york and others that really program on a platform of ensuring that we implement these commonsense solutions that you're
12:05 am
talking about and so i think we both cow have not only the possibility but the responsibility to ensure that our elected officials actually do what they say they're going to do and the clear end because you know all about of course the burden and the cost of gun violence on america's health care system the numbers a staggering both of the number of people killed every year and the billions of dollars and cost and health care. yes that's correct i mean we you know first let me just say elizabeth the human cost over thirty thousand people that die and not to mention the two to three individuals that are injure or death should be enough for us to say we have to change what's currently happening in our country but there is an economic cost as you mention and we look at this last year and
12:06 am
found on the annual basis just from a hospital cost perspective it's over two point eight billion dollars and that doesn't include the societal cost which you know when you look at some of the data out there it can be a couple hundred billion dollars more that our government spends on the department of education budget and other areas so it's pretty significant to come with thank you very much for your time on this we do appreciate it that is joseph joining us live from baltimore and we have some new lines coming into was about the shooting the ventura sheriff has said that the shooter was an ex marine who had minor run ins with the one full spent in recent years we will of course stay across the story for you and on our website you'll find a reality check in which made the housen reveals three things that you may not know
12:07 am
about the u.s. gun debate including that the a wasn't always against gun control and you'll find that on the up front on al-jazeera dot com. with the old and with the new the trumpet ministration has seen its fair share of departures and the latest is an important one donald trump has fired attorney general jeff sessions he'd enjoyed more than a year of personal attacks from the president which began when sessions recused himself from the investigation into russian and action meddling so who is trump installed in session's plays well for now it's matthew which occur he'll be acting attorney general the trump loyalist as the power to oversee what's left of the russian best a geisha and what's he's been highly critical of. well here's what else we know about him between two thousand and four and two thousand and nine matthew would have us of the as the u.s. attorney general for a district in the state of iowa the forty nine year old ran for the u.s. senate in twenty fourteen but missed out on the republican party's nomination and
12:08 am
then worked as a conservative legal commentator for c.n.n. before being hired as jeff sessions chief of staff just over a year ago let's go now to our white house correspondent kimberly how could she is joining us live from the white house the sessions being replaced by someone who's called the probe a what chant company does that and the things that which it has said in the past doesn't give us an idea about how he's going to do with the probe . pratt's concern about how he might deal with the probe and that's why they've sent a letter to the acting attorney general to say to him look at were concerned about this not only are we concerned about how you might be able to sharply curtailed this investigation given your authority you could cut the budget you could certainly slash your halt lines of questioning but they're also concerned in this open letter that they have sent about the president and what they say is a pattern of attempting to obstruct justice in their letter signed by these house
12:09 am
democrats and the judiciary committee they say that the president has with this action as well as with the firing of the former f.b.i. director james comey the attempt to end the f.b.i. investigation into his former national security advisor michael flynn and also that he has repeatedly threatened to fire the special counsel himself overseeing the rusher probe robert muller that this is just an effort to undermine that investigation potentially even obstruct justice so what they are calling for is for mr whitaker to recuse himself from this investigation just as we saw jeff sessions to he's they're also calling for emergency hearings on capitol hill into the forced resignation of jeff sessions because they see this is potentially being another effort to thwart that investigation and without those emotions before those emergency hearing the company what what will they do if it doesn't actually recuse
12:10 am
himself. well you know there's going to be a bit of a battle but already what we've seen are some suggestions even coming from conservatives that this appointment may not even be legal under u.s. law because anyone who runs the department of justice as the attorney general or even actually a czerny general needs to be approved by the senate and this is not occurred for mr whitaker so this is something that could be a point that is raised there are other points that are being raised in all of this there are concerns about his loyalty to the president the fact that he penned an editorial in the past arguing that the probe is going to just too far all of this comes all of this controversy comes amid the president heading up to the supreme court as we're speaking right now there's so much happening with the kind of federal judiciary at this moment the president is swearing in his justice brett
12:11 am
kavanaugh it's called investor sure that is happening as well one of those supreme court justices we've learned in the last hour ruth bader ginsburg has broken three ribs as a result of a fall so this is a very tumultuous time in the united states we're dealing with mass shootings we're dealing with a tumultuous election now we're looking at the very highest echelons of the federal judiciary many people feeling very uncertain given the fact that there's now a serious medical emergency involving one of the justices and questions about who is at the helm of the department of justice itself complete thank you very much for bringing us up to speed with all of those developments that's how white house correspondent committee heloc it live in washington d.c. we are going to get more on this we're joined by bruce fein former u.s. associate deputy attorney general and he's joining us live from washington d.c. mr fein always a pleasure to have you with us on al-jazeera i want to pick up on something completely saying it was the removal what looks like the removal of attorney
12:12 am
general jeff sessions legal and where was this investigation now will the sessions removal affect what robert might do now. well it's conceivable if the motive for the removal was to install someone who would protect the president that clearly is a motive that indicates obstruction of justice and there's no doubt that at present mr muller could call mr sessions for a grand jury and ask him you know what was it the president told him anything as to directly or mr kelley as to why he was removed indeed it would seem that he could actually call mr they actually attorney general mr whitaker and asked have did you give promises to the president you know that you would shut me down what kind of commitments did you make in order to obtain your particular position because you pointed out he's never gone through any confirmation of any sort whatsoever and those are things that need to be raised and asked you remember mr trump is always
12:13 am
stated he thought as attorney general's job was to protect the president unlike roy cohn would would would protect joe mccarthy during his most noxious days and if that's was his conception it gets rid of mr sessions you have to ask well is that what mr whitaker told the president he would protect him from the arm of the law and that gets you then into impeachable offenses and obstruction of justice for both mr clinton and mr nixon word concluded by congress to be impeachable and as we've been reporting you know mr bush it has said in the past that this is what's hont echoing what donald trump says he speculated on ways that it could and by you know cutting the budget for us but when you're talking about having the capacity now. i ask the new acting attorney general these questions doesn't the acting attorney general have the power to level of this investigation how's this going to work. well he does have the formal pottery except as pointed out his
12:14 am
appointment may well be unconstitutional under the appointments clause any principal officer of the united states ordinarily requires senate confirmation and a statute cannot delegate from the constitution the vacancies x. says well you can appoint someone has an interim for up to two hundred ten days but whether that's constitutional law there's quite dubious because here we have one of the most important cabinet positions in all of the executive branch and not even have any senate scrutiny whatsoever a senate scrutiny is critical here is because it's clear i believe what would happen is that the house senate judiciary committee would require as a condition of being confirmed as attorney general that there be a commitment put in writing that he would not interfere with the moeller investigation and then you also have another curly cue here that's gone on mentioned mr whitaker is close friends of a mr clovis who's actually been a witness before the grand jury with regard to his associations with roger stone
12:15 am
the so-called fixer man for mr trump so here we have you know another conflict of interest he's close friends with someone who is a witness in the motor investigation i just think it really cast a cloud over anything that mr whitaker does and if he acts and he is being appointed unconstitutionally that would create you know some kind of a cloud over all the things that he did it's just a huge mess which in my judgment is why this whole temporary appointment should be rescinded we should go through normal constitutional order that is what happened in watergate which i lived through there was a nomination of elite richardson to replace an attorney general he went up got confirmed he pledged independent special counsel then it was archibald cox and the proceedings went forward ultimately mr nixon fired archibald cox and that was held to be among other things evidence of an impeachable offense and obstruction but
12:16 am
that's what ought to. happen here it's just not acceptable that mr whitaker now is the supervisory official over mr mohler that's a fine thank you very much for your expertise on this as always that is bruce fein live washington d.c. thank you and to anderson palace here now the news about jeff sessions of after it was a contentious day at the white house when we saw really astounding behavior at the trump news conference anderson what are people saying online about it yeah i mean you would have thought that sessions being fired would would have been the biggest story on social media survey but it certainly wasn't this is just going by the number of tweets here now this is actually a bigger story than sessions and pretty much everyone seems to be talking about it or has been talking about it over the past twenty four hours and what are they talking about one person c.n.n. reporter jim acosta we looked into this there have been one point three million tweets mentioning his name in just the past twenty four hours because of this i think that's an ask one of the other folks that stood out for me ma'am on this
12:17 am
first day as president i had one of the you know that i may ask you on on the russian investigators are you concerned that you may have not did i heard about anything with you may have a giant investigation because it's a hoax or you that's enough put down the mike is president so acosta was asking trump about the so-called caravan of asylum seekers that are heading towards the united states and about the way that the president suggested during the midterm campaign that they posed an imminent invasion threat and trump interrupted acosta calling him a rude and terrible person and you might have noticed at the beginning of that clip a young female white house intern trying to take the microphone away from the reporter well the editor at large of the far right conspiracy peddling website in force tweeted out this version of the video which appears to have been edited to make it look like it cost a karate chop the internes arm and then that version of the video was reach weeded out by the white house spokeswoman sarah sanders in her words as evidence of in
12:18 am
a. behavior after she did that the clip was then seen more than two million times and she also added that president trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his administration we will however never tolerate she says a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a white house in turn and as you can see in this thread here they ended up suspending his pass to enter the white house acosta replied to this saying that all of that statement about trump believing in free press that it's a lie and his employer c.n.n. went further they said the president's ongoing attacks on the press have gone too far they're not only dangerous they're disturbingly an american president trump has made it clear he does not respect a free press he has a sworn obligation to protect its a free press is vital to democracy and we stand behind jim acosta and his fellow journalists everywhere now there were journalists in the room if you watched the
12:19 am
press conference who were very deferential even laughing along with trump others however many more watching in the u.s. and around the world were simply horrified by what they saw now acosta unable to return to the grounds of the white house for a later hit on c.n.n. posted this image it's actually the most popular post mentioning his name from the last day or so and if you look at it it's a photo from outside the white house with demonstrators holding up a sign that says protects meller. that of course a reference to robert muller who we know is heading the russian investigation so let us know what you think about that scene and how it's been portrayed on social media you can get in touch with us on twitter using the hash tag a genius grant andrew thank you very much now if you're watching on facebook live find out about the caterpillar that could soon be delivering drugs inside your body and ahead on the show refugees fleeing unspeakable violence in central african republic the crisis that aid groups say the world has forgotten about.

now aid agencies are trying to draw the world's attention to a conflict they say has been tragically forgotten and central african republic has been in turmoil since a violent takeover of power and twenty thirteen there is now an elected government but neither a law. have been able to get worn groups to lay down their weapons on nicholas hock spoke to refugees at a camp and. it just arrived ulead displaced children in this refugee camp the latest victims of the unending sick tarion violence in central african republic some have 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 the mother is dead her father is 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
12:25 am
back so she had again. there's no hiding from the violence we want the arms to go the violence to stop we just want peace this is celine's do 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 soon house but the reality is that you know the big forces of the armed groups and the lack of intention from this national
12:26 am
community is not go in her direction really in this situation for these 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 we're objects for them to take rape is just part of living here despite the trauma and the violence committed by adults whether christian or muslim children in this
12:27 am
refugee camp sure a brief moment of unity in a country torn and looking for peace nicholas hawk al-jazeera. i heard there from the noise in refugee council's yan egeland and next report and he told us more about why the conflicts being 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 passion but then it's also as you may see a and i don't know hope because here we are really building houses for people where displaced and we do it for 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
12:28 am
very hard to get funding for these projects really the central african republic is 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 to chad and sudan and cameroon and the congo etc i'm optimistic for the future of the central african republic if not if it continues like now we may have another cat but let's make war around zones like this that could threaten the lives of millions now this is a story that we haven't forgotten on al jazeera we have a special page on our website that you'll find by searching for central african republic news it has reporting from the country including picture galleries of the people whose lives have been affected by the conflict you can find that on al-jazeera dot com. let's take

12:34 am
a job and better life and are going back and the government is repaired tracing them for free the first and largest group of migrants to haitians more than a thousand have signed up for the program latin america editor lucien human explains why the government is doing this. these haitian migrants are leaving chile with a bit more than with what they came but with their dreams shattered. what we thought we were coming to do doesn't exist we came here for a better life for decent work but there's nothing there the first one hundred seventy six beneficiaries of a government humanitarian repatriation program for migrants who can't afford to leave they've been given a free flight home in exchange for not returning to chile for at least nine years. since they could not adapt to our reality and their expect a sions were not myths they asked the governments help to return home. the vast majority like the roma laws say it's because they can't survive here. their
12:35 am
mom i christened chile two years ago when i came it was easy to find a job but not now another thousand haitians are on the list and an undisclosed number of colombian migrants are also asking for a free flight home it is an unprecedented offer unique in a world where many more migrants are deported against their will but the very fact that this program exists draws attention to the exploitation and abuses that many many migrants in chile face. thousands of haitians live in appalling conditions employers often underpay them others complain of racism you know we asked the interior minister what the government is doing to help migrants stay rather than leave by working to police and control employers and landlords and we've introduced measures to ensure that migrants obtain proper residence documents so they can't be exploited and can access public services too late for these migrants who've given
12:36 am
up any hope of making chile their home as they return to haiti to an uncertain future you see in human al-jazeera santiago. so the minister of interior who we saw in lucy his report has been tweeting all about this he posted the video of him meeting and greeting one hundred seventy six haitians who flew out on that first plane which appear to show all were happy to go but a lot of the public reaction has been less than supportive this cartoon carries a seemingly sarcastic message when you translate it from spanish it says we're helping them leave because we love them yes and she lay we're very generous they'll come back when they have the money and if you look at some of the most popular tweets coming out of chile on the subject they're also very critical this one says the repatriation plan is proof that she lay doesn't want friends who are foreigners or black and lawyer carmen hertz says the quote miserable deportation is racism
12:37 am
and xenophobia. i come more to scream out soon but out here there is a lot of discrimination here towards patient to be chile and our races they see haitians as slaves or animals no we are not slaves we are not animals we just need jobs nobody is living deceived many of them are going to chile deceived they were deceived by gangs they were promised to hold they were promised jobs they were promised beings that could not be fulfilled they were charged a lot of money could go home and today they are leaving would hope. more than one hundred thousand haitians live in she lay many of them fled poverty political upheaval and natural disasters that have devastated the country and despite their struggles with money and discrimination in their new home only one percent of haitians and she lay have agreed to go back voluntarily. as the director of chile's jesuit center for migrants he tweeted that one hundred seventy six people leave
12:38 am
with significance emotional baggage from what they have experienced and she lay and that should hurt us now some chileans or others say the government should have found ways to make life more bearable for haitians in the country rather than sending them back but let us know what you think on twitter using the hash tag a.j. news good. thank you very much and i'm on the field. about the. highest paid sports months.
12:39 am
12:40 am
it's time for sports now with and it's all about floyd mayweather today india it really is liz and he's made an extraordinary u. turn as the world's highest earning sportsman and what was supposed to be the showdown of the season key word there supposed to be now on monday boxer floyd mayweather flew to tokyo to announce that he would fight japanese kickboxer tension in the headline new year's eve event in japan but now three days later mayweather says he will not fight and that he was duped into doing it in the first place it's really all played out in a rather bizarre way let's take you through it first there was this monday press
12:41 am
conference with the twenty year old undefeated japanese fighter then there was the interview. there for a great cause you know it was a special bow and. just for you to be in a room with a young a young guy this hungry and it was only good for me very very good and i can wait. only reason. mayweather seemed pretty aware of what was happening he was even part of this official promo video that highlighted the fight then really comes the bombshell once mayweather flew back to the u.s. he went on instagram and wrote a lengthy post saying in part that i want it to be clear that i floyd mayweather never agreed to an official bout with tension thus akala and fact with all due respect i've never heard of him until this recent trip to japan once i arrived at the press conference my team and i were completely derailed by the new direction
12:42 am
this vent was going and we should have put a stop to it immediately i want to sincerely apologize to my fans for the very misleading information that was announced during this press conference and i can assure you that i too was completely blindsided by the arrangements that were being made without my consent or approval the reactions were very much anti mayweather after that post several people have posted this picture saying and you never agreed to fight showing them shaking hands the group organizing the fight even tweeted saying that floyd must have seen that tension highlight reel now echoing what this guy is saying that he just thinks mayweather scared well which may be true but mayweather is strictly a boxer while now is a kick boxer here's more from the boxing correspondent for the daily telegraph girth. it wouldn't surprise me if he's actually had a good look at mexico well. and just so you know what his highlight
12:43 am

a result of being destroyed by. acid as well as other chemicals the questions that are being posed is how essentially that was allowed to happen considering. the specified that sorts and members of the saudi kill team or behind it but more importantly that's after the saudis sent an investigative unit as it was described to help find wow it's what's happened fish really find out what's happened to the members of this units were actually. responsible for cleaning up any remnants of the. cleanup rather or of the destruction of the corpse and therefore people are questioning then how the turks allowed for that to happen and whether they knew from the very beginning specifically what's happened to the body you know obviously in the very beginning barbara the idea was according to the saudis that these kill squad after they had finally admitted that they had killed she hired local

collaborators to get rid of the body the turks however their investigators searched the consulate behind me as well as a consul journals residence in that residence there was a well they weren't able to go deep inside it's however they were able to get some sort of evidence from it's they say that includes chemicals and hydrophilic us that they believe was used to destroy what remained of casualties body but such a model in light of the fact that there is no body now what does that mean for the investigation itself. well i mean it's a good question if we were simply talking about a criminal investigation you would assume that after the investigators have called off a search that this would essentially wrap up at least that part of the investigation then they would start focusing on indictments and trials however this is not simply a criminal investigation this is an international crisis that strikes deep into international treaties into regional geopolitics into the balance of power and into

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 a night out the group that i was hiding out with you know there were strangers holding my hands that you're going to be ok you know that's why those. but i take away from this is that it even though there's a lot of that in this world there's also a lot of good for them and it comes almost two weeks after another mass shooting eleven people killed at a synagogue in pittsburgh pennsylvania or i asked to watch over 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. 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 brian al-jazeera jennifer björk lynn from n.b.c. news joins us live now from. jennifer good to see you a terrible story this one what else do we know about the shooter and do the investigators have any other ideas about the possible motive behind this. the motive is a difficult one and we do know that law enforcement has had some contact with this man twenty eight year old i in law and therefore they recognized him apparently. in the shooting now they did have one of the firearms that was recovered and i believe the only firearm that was recovered was actually registered to him and not so that's one of the cues that they have to take that he was the potential shooter and not just another victim in this shooting because he was among the same age

group as these other kids and also from the area again this is an eighteen and over country music dancing night so between eighteen and twenty one it's a very popular for people to want to come out and dance in the middle of the week because most of the time they have to be twenty one to actually get into a venue like this so it's it's a gathering place for young people many of them were inside many of them are regulars who come every week of course many of the victims were between those ages eighteen and twenty five tell us a little bit about the atmosphere there are like now what's it like jennifer. it's very difficult because here on the west coast of the united states it's just after eight in the morning and what what's happening is people are waking up to this news people who know that their friends usually go to this club are finding out and coming over here many of the parents and loved ones of the missing. are
12:59 am
here waiting for word as to whether their loved ones are in hospitals or potentially among the dead inside it's a very difficult time for them as they await word on their loved ones but until the identifications are done they can't make any any any positive i.d.'s and give any news to people and give them false hope or false news that their their child is is gone but what happened when this shooting took place is people scattered and we know that some people went to the hospital on their own some people just took off and left their phones because many of them have law enforcement families who say don't don't have anything in your hand when you're running from a shooting because then you could look like a suspect and be shot as well so a lot of them dropped their phones and just took off so their phones are pinging inside the question is are they inside as well. jennifer brookland of n.b.c.
