really quickly they've got a lot of information about him out they say he came from somalia to australia in the one nine hundred ninety s. and though he himself is not particularly well known to them that phrase that they use when they're talking about people that are keeping a very close eye on because i suspect them of harboring extremist views and the will to carry those views out to express them violently mostly in relation to relatives now they haven't said who those relatives are but they say that they were keeping a counterterrorism authorities here keeping a close eye on his relatives and him to a certain extent by extension they say they haven't given his name yet but they say that he did have a minor criminal history cannabis use and some minor crime but nothing that suggests that he would personally carry out an attack like this be quite right now they will be all over his social media accounts all over those he was known to who associates it with just to make absolutely sure that this was a one man attack and there's nothing big out there now the police say at the moment and looking for anybody else they don't believe it is part of anything but of

course they'll be very very cautious i should say a stray this government has said for some time that they've expected some sort of ideologically motivated attack on australian soil hasn't really been one that been a few incidents over the last few years here which at the time have seemed like they might to be largely logically inspired and indeed the person involved has claimed it in the case of a siege at a cafe in sydney that was the case back in twenty fourteen here likewise an attack in the same streets in melbourne at the beginning of last year january of twenty seven same but both of those incidents although they killed people in the long run the place said that they weren't terrorism instance because they didn't believe the person involved was ideologically motivated if they claimed links with extremist groups they didn't actually have them this seems very different the place a very quickly within five hours said this is an instance of terrorism. thanks very much. we're getting word of a row between russia and austria it's over and he's ations from vienna one of his

retired army colonel zinn the austrian army spied for the russians let's go straight to moscow and our correspondents step what else can you tell us. well again spying accusations directed at russia coming from an u. nation this time it's austria and the chancellor of. course has made public that they have information that a former military officer from austria has been spying for russia for more than twenty years one of the pieces of information were regarding weapons systems that's what they believe the chancellor has also said that so far they have no real confirmation yet but they are investigating this case but it has already let two diplomatic repercussions one is that the foreign minister got in can i so who was supposed to visit moscow has canceled her visit and actually she's quite a close friend of president putin and they danced together on her wedding only last

august the other repercussion is that second man of the russian embassy in austria has been summoned by the austrian authorities but also on this site here in moscow the minister of foreign affairs and laugh off has lashed out basically at the accusations he sat that it was a very you had a very bad surprise when he heard about it not that long ago and he sat that suspicions of spying or anything similar to this there should be international diplomatic rules that should be followed and these things should not go to the public first before both countries would have a dialogue so he sounded very angry about these accusations and it sounds like he was fed up with these accusations coming from nations ok step thanks very much. russian government assisting peace talks in moscow to end the violence in afghanistan i'm afghan delegation of the group represents the taliban are attending

that meeting represents is from a dozen nations were also invited. even brokered talks between the warring sides in yemen have been for spurned until the end of the year the u.n. is warning yemen is just three months away from a devastating famine with fourteen million people at risk is with me. the u.n. has been escalating its calls for a cease fire in yemen and to political solution but on the ground around the pool city of data the opposite is happening. the fighting between pro-government forces and the rebels is intensifying and so despite renewed diplomatic efforts by the united states plans the u.n. brokered talks in sweden in november have been pushed back until the end of the the special envoy for yemen martin griffiths has made clear that any military escalation does not help the ongoing efforts to relaunch the political process we hope to see the first steps for deescalation in yemen as we move forward towards

agencies say it will be almost impossible to get food supplies in. yemen leaving fourteen million people at risk of starvation. victoria gayton be out just a. syrian state media saying the army has freed nineteen women and children held by eisel since july and killed the kidnappers are among thirty members of syria's minority druze community abducted from the south and so wait a province. still to come for you here on the news hour including the debate over gun control again takes a front seat in the wake of another shooting in the u.s. . and a little later china's biggest show takes off but a trade war with the u.s. is forcing the booming aviation industry to hit the brakes. and the sport will mean the millennial grandmasters who are bringing chess to a new audience. the

a hero he had every intention of going in there and ending that threat and saving lives the gunman twenty. eight year old ian long killed himself as police closed in long was a marine corps veteran who served a tour in afghanistan he had run ins with local police before in april of this year deputies were called to his house for a subject disturbing they went to their house they talked to him he was he was somewhat irate at acting out a little irrationally long's motives are unknown and are the subject of intense investigation we're going to pursue the leads that are developed from that evidence wherever they take us to identify any possible motivation. paint a picture of the frame of mind of the subjects parents and relatives of the shooting victims gathered at a community center to get information jason kaufman waited to find out if his twenty two year old son cody was safe i know nothing here i was woken up in the

morning by some friends of cody's in. the same way he hasn't made it out of the bar moments later he got the terrible news cody was dead thousand oaks now joins us cities like pittsburgh orlando last they gits and parkland shocked and broken hearted by sudden horrific violence you know where the safest city in america and how do you stop somebody that comes in to do something like this it's. it's a wake up call for everybody that that evil exists and had it jumps into the most quite of communities and we're hurting according to the gun violence archive there have been three hundred and seven mass shootings in the united states involving four or more fatalities this year alone whether it's a bar nightclub a school or

a synagogue it seems there are no safe spaces anymore robert oulds al-jazeera thousand oaks california. staying in the states donald trump's immigration policies have suffered another blow an appeals court in california has upheld an earlier ruling allowing a program that protects young undocumented migrants to continue docker was created under the former president barack obama and give some rights to hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who came to the u.s. as children before two thousand and seven. protects the group known as dreamers from deportation and gives them work permits the a c. was likely to ultimately end up in front of the u.s. supreme court well the trumpet ministration is trying to place restrictions on asylum claims by people crossing the u.s. mexican border illegally under new regulations people caught crossing the border at places of the official border post will not be allowed to present asylum claims this comes at a time when caravans with thousands of people from central america are currently

making their way towards the u.s. border let's talk to robert gucci he's an associate professor at lancaster university and the editor of the presidency journalism and democracy he joins us on good terms you're on the news there again robert is part of the issue here that up until this new legislation whenever donald trump signs it into being law at the moment people can cross the border and they can in effect disappear for a year and maybe for more than a year that's his central worry i guess. well that's what the trumpet ministration is claiming is happening that when people enter through legal means they go ahead and have to have permission to just stay there's a process that they have to following in court hearings and paperwork decision would have to be made at some point within that given time and what we're what the trump administration is thinking is that people dip out on that and. get public welfare do jobs that american citizens could do but the way he's going about this

is really frightening in sending military troops which presidents in the past have done and really putting a lot of families both that haven't entered into the united states yet but those as you mentioned in your previous story are already living there in those families and into really states of fear but to his base to his supporters this is perfectly justifiable no. well yeah i mean when when they're trying to ministration again overnight it seemed was putting children in cages and old wal-mart supercenter throughout the country separating them from from families we didn't see american citizens and their families gathering together in protest going to these these facilities in demanding that families be put back together that the base really believes you should only be in this country if you were born in this country by you know parents who are american citizens i mean they're very very clear that since

before the nine eleven terrorist attacks they've wanted to have a real conservative agenda that is america first that got the real them by the war on terror which is still connected to america first of course and it's now coming back to roost this is this is a really scary times for people who've contributed a lot to american society through their work and their intellectual properties and their their ideas and their love and it's. very scary time but there's the application of that agenda robot implicitly change with this new legislation because short of building the wall which two years off having got into the white house he has not done does it really change things because if people want to get into the country illegally they will get in if in the twelve months they want to disappear anyway they will disappear yes so it is it is confusing i mean in the sense that there are some powers that allow the president to make some of these

claims made some of these bids i mean he did this before when he banned people from predominantly muslim nations from entering into into the country so there is there's a precedent that that that has been set in his administration for this but this isn't the solution. for all of these different. areas and i think the american people see that they don't see this as just the silver bullet they want to see this in collaboration with military and ice officials they want to see this with a wall they see this as being a multifaceted approach to ending what they consider to be immigration crisis and so donald trump calling this an invasion if you logically that is what it is for a lot of american citizens when they complain that they can't get a job that they want or when they think they have to be speaking a different language than english it is a visit a very salient issue for many americans that it has become and i think we're going

to see increase and increase in the bible and both in terms of the discourse and it's used the military might. thank you. now a few moments we'll have your world weather with everson folks but also still ahead here on the news hour an entire town is wiped off the map by fast moving wildfires in northern california. and we'll tell you about another u.s. court ruling the comes a setback for donald trump. in the sports news with leo the defending n.b.a. champions get trampled by the bucks were posted tales in about twenty minutes from now. however was looking thoughtfully wet and miserable for the honest this summer is taking place this weekend lots of cloud tumbling into that northwestern corner of

kilometers there are reports of a number of injuries to residents and firefighters stretched. flames engulfing trees and buildings on both sides of the road branches falling on the windscreen of this car the driver is lucky to be alive as the wildfire ripped through woodland on these north california hills emergency services ordered the entire population of the town of paradise some twenty seven thousand people to evacuate their stuff way way burning on all sides of us on the way out here some residents abandon their cars this driver tries to remain calm but go go go go go. people go it's not known what started the fire which was reported at six o'clock in the morning within six hours it had spread across an area of more than sixty eight thousand five hundred square kilometers serene hazardous lots of smoke dark

devastation active burning of all throughout the town to me and i lived there for eighteen years and it looks like the fire came from. east enders came straight through town all the way to the west a vast spreading cloud of smoke filled the sky some people were said to be sheltering in a nearby hardware store i know there was a plan put in place they used the walgreens up in paradise as a temporary refuge area. why we do that is to get civilians or people that are out in the elements meaning the fire in the smoke we try to get him into an area that is safe away from the fire and smoke and tell that fire front pushes through we did have fire personnel with them and so once they deemed it safe we were able to get them out of. the town located on a mountain ridge there were very few escape routes traffic turned to gridlock one woman reportedly went into labor waiting in

a traffic jam the hospital was among the buildings reportedly completely destroyed firefighting aircraft were unable to fly because winds were too strong and those winds were expected to strengthen further hampering efforts to extinguish the blaze racing across dry woodland slopes. they have been unverified reports of at least one person dying in the fire millions of dollars worth of property have been burnt to the ground as want to merge and she spokes person said pretty much the entire community of powered ice is destroyed cha stratford al-jazeera. as ever the weather conditions going to play a big part in what happens next efforts and has joined us again here in the studio the wind conditions like what they going to become like. well the good news is that the winds will gradually ease down as we go through today into tomorrow but it's still going to be pretty gusty if the truth be known that really doesn't help we

have the added problem of the ongoing drought we're looking at a six year drought now for the california has been some bits and pieces of cloud and rain but while we're talking over six months ago for northern california by this time of year you would expect to see some decent rainfall coming through any rain in the forecast at all not a drop not a drop or tall we've got plenty of cloud and rain on the other side of the rockies stretching its way over towards texas but none of it coming anywhere near california at all at least for the next ten days that's when i say the forseeable future that's the best ten days but i suspect we'll be way beyond that if the truth be yeah we've got a long time to go before we do is that things to him for everton thanks very much the u.s. federal court judge has blocked the construction of the controversial keystone oil pipeline the judge said the government has failed to properly account for the risk of oil spills or the impact low oil prices could have on the project it follows an

appeal by environmental groups as the company's behind the project prepared to begin work in montana new reports assessing the potential environmental impact of the eight billion dollars plan will now need to be submitted to the courts and i suffered as a research at the university of california davis policy institute for energy environment and the economy she spoke to us a little earlier we started by asking her how the decision may affect the trump administration's energy plans. i think it illustrates two challenges the trumpet ministration is facing the first challenges of course in moving so quickly to overturn environmental decisions put forward by the obama administration they're finding now that they didn't go really go through the exercise of dotting their i's and crossing their t's they issued this permit to rent a pipeline for going forward just a couple of months after trying to got this and now they're trying ending out that the judicial system is really they didn't do all the proper permitting in order for that and to go forward they're also finding that chap on his or her life so heavily

on an oil and gas heavy energy strategy it's becoming increasingly difficult to do that when there's recognition of the climate impacts and other environmental impacts of that and now the estrangement has neglected investment in solar energy and another type of energy mix to fall back on so yes certainly a bloke in the chair ministrations how how legitimate are the environmental grievances about they say how strong a case if they haven't is. certainly illegitimate you have to look at both the direct environmental impacts associated with the construction of the pipeline as well as the more interact impacts that you have of extracting oil from the oil sands of the keystone pipeline originates that shortly after the trap of ministration issued their permanent allowing construction to go were huge you cited two hundred thousand plus a gallon of oil spill from the south dakota portion of the pipeline that r.t. exists so it's clear the day the pipeline itself even if it's possible to construct

in a way that might not have those direct environmental impacts isn't being done in a way in that way because we've already seen those types of damages and then again the judge ruling to block the construction of the pipeline found the trump administration hasn't done a sufficient jot of accounting for the climate impacts of the oil sands and so then that something needs to be brother studied so where does this case go from here from the legal standpoint is this something that could go all the way to the supreme court. it certainly is that would be the next step in this judicial system so right now that injunction was done by federal district court so there's two options here it is the champion ministration can decide to comply with the district court's ruling and continue to do that sort of environmental assessment that's been requested or they could appeal up to a higher court my guess is that the trumpet ministrations going to look to do the latter since that of the master process final preparations are underway in paris to mark one hundred years since the end of world war one on sunday the french

president emmanuel macro will host world leaders to mark the armistice that officially ended the war more than sixteen million people were killed over four years jordan looks at the u.s. cotton behold and the legacy it left for the people of the united states on april second one nine hundred seventeen u.s. president woodrow wilson issued the battle cry the world must be made safe for democracy many americans approved of the decision to go to war against germany and its allies a government that is running amuck. but despite the headlines and propaganda efforts just as many americans opposed fighting in the so-called great war the u.s. historian michael kazin described the antiwar movement in his recent book war against war it didn't seem like a war that was in the american national interests seem like a war that most europeans had not wanted to fight in the first place so there was

a sense that if america got involved the war it would only make guys face more militarist country which is just the fall face so in the european powers that had gone to war in the first place even so kazan says the impact of the war on us society was far reaching some suffragist leveraged women's performance in the workplace to convince congress they should have the right to vote black soldiers including the harlem hell fighters who fought in france discovered their service did not protect them from racism after the war and that inspired the work of civil rights activists in the decades ahead and the us started a long running debate about what it means to be a global power economically militarily and diplomatically. wilson had resisted calls to enter the war since it began in one nine hundred fourteen but after a german u. boat torpedoed the cargo ship as tack on april first getting congress to declare war was easy by the time the armistice was signed on november eleventh one thousand

nine hundred eighteen one hundred sixteen thousand u.s. troops had died either in combat or because of the flu pandemic kazan says that does not mean the antiwar movement had failed with the story there to were movement doing what one can teach us is that it's crucial for americans for people for any nation to force their politicians and their media. and their businesses those of other businesses to. think very carefully about this decision because once you decide to go to war there's no going back an important insight one hundred years on especially given that americans still don't agree on when and why the u.s. should go to war rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington female politicians from eighty six countries have gathered in the u.k.
