it's we don't know how that's going to affect an entire generation we john cox is a reporter for the washington post who's investigated the impact of gun violence on children including the psychological toll of lockdown drills at schools someone has to get the gun i'm shooting people right now school shootings are no more common now than they were in the one nine hundred ninety s. and the likelihood of a child dying in one remains low. but after each mass shooting the demand for schools and kids to be prepared goes up hill so we know that lock downs can be incredibly frightening but should we not have the kid do the drill and then the day comes and they have no idea what to do that's probably not a trade that parents or teachers would make go but something. that is the reality until we as a country make some really significant changes for the shootings from occurring in the first place your belt i don't i don't know we've talked about running i mean

fighting we haven't talked about giving aid all right this is just a brief little thing about pleading control and it will work on kids your age and it will tie one not whom but the pencils in their. mouths watching your presentation i thought this was curious enough to talk to kids about a woman get shot in the medium bleeding on the mall what do you think about that he took this talk about why did you and i believe our kids know about this kind of stuff all right and i don't believe in a lot of respects that we give our kids credit anough for being able to handle what it is that needs to be talked about and because of that that's why we were very blunt or just very straightforward it's going to hurt. more the way about see that than anything in that presentation was as it was a. really. kind filing cared for how. and you know life. you know that you've done the training how do you

feel i feel more confident about it. for generation for mill you would lockdown drills and connected by social media the thought of a shooting at school doesn't seem far away. it happened here a year ago at marjorie's dome in douglas high school in parkland florida. the gumming used illegally bought semiautomatic rifle to kill seventeen people. it was valentine's day. and for some students it wasn't unexpected. i had already planned like what i would do if a shooting were to happen because i was surprised that it happened at all. a few years ago when the shooting happened that the for a lot of the airport they said to always look dead if there's nothing else to do you go under somebody that has passed over so i had always told myself if i can't go out the window then that's what i would do so i did it. a lady eastman had just

finished a presentation on hate groups when the gunman began firing a tour classroom. she took cover under her presentation partner nicholas. who had been shot and killed as soon as he saw i just followed his everybody movement and went underneath him and laid there and at that moment i just began talking to god and telling him i just i don't want to feel i just want to be fast i remember laying there and looking at the floor waiting for footsteps so i knew when to hold my breath because i didn't want to shoot it to see me breathing alive i went to look like i was dead and i'd say about twenty seconds he moved on to the next class and i sat up and just sat in shock. the child that i gave birth to almost that distraught and gunshots. over the phone. she said. a lovely. i told her that

a lair get off the phone and pay attention and can breathe i assumed she was going to be killed how could you ask it in a small classroom with a guy with a k fifty how could you how did you find out the way i was safe. actually i was a texan that's how i know my baby. was a life because i thought a bubble she sticks it to see i'm ok and that's how i know. that the vigil for the one year anniversary of the parklane massacre it's a familiar scene. one repeated across the country in the aftermath the mass shootings and you. leave it's become so predictable. there's the shooting and then the politicians denounce it there are the vigils oh there's no morals there's intense coverage in the states. if you're

a member of the media you just move on to move on move on and move on because they just don't stop. after the news moves on survivors and their families are left to pick up the pieces. of your heart the three. in this first. to. be strong. religious families free. from one another. like watching a six year old trying to process the trauma that she experienced those difficult. she slept in my room for two weeks and you know. it was very traumatic for her you know it was traumatic for me as well but i have to put on the brief. and be there for. for me to my wrist guilt is still something that i struggle with knowing that i'm here but he's not.

knowing that parents aren't upset with me and. are happy that i don't live makes me feel better but i feel like sometimes i'm alive at his expense because he of course. in my life. the parklane shooting reinvigorated the national conversation on gun violence and kick started a movement led by young people including a late. night last night working on her testimony so please you know your when you see your encourage your. she's worked really hard on this. february she spoke at the first congressional hearing on gun violence in eight years many like me were fortunate enough to walk away with our lives but we will never be free from the terror some will carry visible scars but all of us were scarred emotionally for the rest of our lives i was in my fourth police activism

has given her sense of purpose and a way to cope it was just eighteen with his whole life ahead of him but her mom worries that she still has a long recovery ahead of her she's pretty enough going balance we know this as a fact at the end of the day i tell her. when to come on the lights and auction is gone. you're going to be in a dark place by itself it's like a house and the only thing when the phone calls still come in to come speak at this event you have to process what happened to you and seek help. often you'll see it right that people are ok in the beginning when they have a chance to talk about then when people go through transitions in what is when often the trauma really sets of. it it changes the trajectory of people's lives for decades. now and no other americans are going to be charged and we're looking to each other for support in the wake of the nation's leaders. the event is

only the beginning. my heart hurts for those people because. it's not a quick fix it's never going to be a quick fix your level and depth of trauma is totally going to vary based on a number of factors but there are in for a long road after columbine i stopped watching the new other morning and was a senior columbine high school when the shooting happened in one thousand nine hundred ninety. at the time that shocked the country it was the worst school attack in u.s. history. now it doesn't even make the list of top ten deadliest mass shootings. today other works as a high school english teacher has been through multiple lockdown drills the news of other mass shootings can still trigger inside attacks the trauma and what i went through that day will always be a part of me it's taken me quite

a few years to kind of come to terms with that for nine years i was really not in denial that the event happened but in denial that the offense impacted me to the extent that it did felt last isolated alone i really started my journey at ten years ten years after the of. frightening to think after the shooting at a movie theater in aurora colorado in two thousand and twelve co-founded the rebels project a support group for mass shooting survivor some victims' families. it started with people from a handful of incidents and care seven years later has members from around sixty communities impacted by mass shootings if you could introduce yourselves and what community you're associated with. survived the era. we started it because one of the things that we were missing were people who understood and people who we could talk to more deeply and not just about the worry

there was it scary did you know the gunmen so we can automatically dive deeper i would always be freaking out like i'm going to go through this again i think it's probably because i was reliving it constantly like you know this is last for the flashbacks and i was like oh i'm going to just get and like i realized it's not just stuff that i'm going to know what you're going to help your brain has recalibrated itself to make you safe and so what your brain does is say oh well when my friend got killed it was sunny so maybe a sunny day becomes a trigger because that's what was going on last time something will happen and it makes so much sense that's why i couldn't smell pumpkin spice lattes from starbucks after my shooting without like britain breaking down or greek yogurt for years that that's what trauma. i have taught i have met one other person that has a similar one and maybe you as you too when i get triggered for

a day or two afterward i actually see bodies out of the corner because that's what i saw when i was running out of the school it's not like a full blown like hallucination or anything it's just like at i like the little girls who write so i don't have to do survivors everyday occurrences can take them back to the day they wish they could forget. the layovers years. until. the brass. came. in kind of his victory because he threw one more center and. he didn't freak out. the sentence and. could ask questions when you guys talk about the kind of trickery and how long do you think your brain might be rewired that way for how little you have to undo it it takes

a lot of work it's really hard labor. i started in the art three times period working and. i wrote down every trigger. and they had to kong's two pages in the first year of every single trigger were to my final two balloons. triggers are exacerbated by news of other mass shootings which these days can be hard to escape. but the survivors say that staying connected with one another makes all the difference. we tend to think of trauma as this huge thing and something you're never going to get over. but if you take it in small steps at a time. you can get over it and. maybe. in the earlier years it's like a one step forward two steps back type of scenario and now my steps back are

shorter in a way i almost feel really awful for the people that it's happening to now because they don't get the coverage that other shootings get and that's really minimizing for someone's experience. when you were shooting is out of the news cycle within a week what does that feel like as a survivor that feels like i should be over this. society is moving on but the people who are impacted aren't and then the struggle sometimes or even worse. long as you want to take one. most the most turks are doing chris asked him are you going to be able to not even see it so might turn a corner in the night. i ended up buying the pizza and he was sitting at the table eating it when i went out and. only shown in the box. quickly. and this can do customer service. believe that's

a lot of smiling and families walking with their kids in there have be if. i can do it. honey and find something that's more clerical behind the scenes. not the facing me more like i used to be. this is my new normal. and it's a sad normal it's normal. you never think that your child would ever get ripped away from you. you know it's different when you have an illness and you prepare for it. but not when you think about your son the day before and your body is pete so you christine good night and that's it. it's. a bonds that nobody wants to share. but there's so many of

us that have this connection from all over the country. and we should be connecting from the music we listen to or the cars that we like the regular teenage things. but a quick connecting because of gun violence. bluebirds years. of duction killings and announce new questions we don't know what happened so we can't heal fault lines investigates why native american women the vanishing in disproportionate numbers in the u.s. the search. for missing and murdered indigenous women. on al-jazeera are still searching. you know the look is.

coming. up but. let's move on. to. this really warplanes hit gaza coming up least two palestinians after rockets were launched on the strip into israel. jordan this is al jazeera live from also coming up weakens after battering india

crosses into bangladesh where at least twelve people have been killed. thailand crowns its new king two years after he merited the throne. and the scientific secrets which may be lurking in the world's deepest lake and what they could mean for us or. first give us some breaking news now out of algeria where we're getting reports of the youngest brother of the former president. has been arrested side but a freak jirus de facto ruler since his brother suffered a stroke in twenty thirteen to have but if he has four men teligent chiefs have also been taken into custody weeks of protests forced the ailing longtime president to resign last month after he attempted to run for a fifth term but the demonstrations have continued protesters want to put a freaking regime just mantled and inside is prevented from holding top jobs

israeli air strikes have hit guards or after palestinian fighters fired rockets into israel the ministry of health and downs and says at least two palestinians have been killed including a fourteen month old baby israeli military commanders say at least two hundred rockets were fired from gaza injuring two israelis but israel says palestinian rockets targeted at least a dozen areas some reaching as far as the town of begun email round twenty kilometers from gaza two casualties in israel have been reported warplanes attacked by palestinian territory including gaza city eunice and beit hanoun herefore that joins us live now from west jerusalem harris so we understand more rockets have been fired just bring us up to date with the latest situation on the ground. the israeli military now says more than two hundred rockets have been fired out of gaza into israeli territory during the course of today's saturday and that the

israeli warplanes have struck some seventy targets warplanes and attack helicopters and some artillery being used as well seventy targets being struck inside gaza the israeli military says linked to hamas islamic jihad another palestinian factions inside gaza but we're also hearing confirmation from the gaza health ministry to what you just said that among those killed. one was a palestinian member of hamas the brigades a fighter that we believe was killed when he was part of a rocket firing group but the other death was a fourteen month old baby girl the government does health ministry saying about was a drone strike on house or next to a house in east gaza city and that three members of her family were also killed so that is the situation inside gaza as far as israeli casualties are concerned these are the authorities are saying that two people have been seriously injured one

a woman in carry out go she was hit by shrapnel and taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition another man a civilian hit or rather injured by a rocket strike on the city of ashkelon north of gaza and how the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was meeting his security advisers in tel aviv kemet specked anything from that meeting. certainly no announcements so far the sabbath is now over and so it's possible that we might get some more official kind of statement from the israeli government so far the statements have been coming from the israeli military benjamin netanyahu is due to host or of the to lead a security cabinet meeting in israel on sunday a full security cabinet meeting but i think we do get the feeling the the message from the size of the israeli air strikes that this is a big response to this rocket fire the rocket fire of course itself coming in

response to what had taken place earlier on friday in terms of the protests that took place on the border two palestinian protesters killed by israeli sniper fire two israeli soldiers hit and injured by palestinian sniper fire and then an airstrike that killed two members of hamas military wing the arcus on brigades all of this following what what took place on friday and all of it as well coming at a sensitive time politically for the israelis in advance of the independence day celebrations next week and the euro vision song contest on may the eighteenth a major international event perhaps the calculation is that israel won't ramp up this military escalation to the extent of a full conflict because of the concerns about those events and this might be the time to try to get it to follow through on what it reportedly promised during the course or the end of the last two g.

escalation of beginning of april so far the only thing that hamas has to show for that it was an extension of the fishing zone which is now being reduced to zero again in the light of this current military escalation so far the promised extra funding from qatar has not been facilitated by israel other eason's of the of these ready siege have not borne fruit either so perhaps this is seen as a good time for islamic jihad and for hamas to try to increase the pressure on israel or to have a force that they're in a western to mary thank you but coming up assad as a professor of political science at university in gaza he says israel has not committed to past agreements that were brokered by egyptian mediation. it's the israeli government who has not implemented the latest understanding's or the who would not have quiet understandings between israel and hamas which were brokered by the egyptians before is what he did which were killed on april ninth last month and

also the israeli yesterday killed the three palestinians one of them is a palestinian civilian who wants to put this thing along the borders between gaza and israel and when i say timing is important it means that i have mass and other palestinian resistance to groups believe that this is the right timing to put more pressure on not than you know on his way to government to make israel abide by the previous understanding's timing is very sensitive israel is approaching its seventy first and independence day and also there you have vision festivities which are of supposed to be held in tel aviv in may fifteenth of this month and definitely israel would not skim it further with the palestinians at least until independence day and. vision festivities that's why the palestinians are pushing further to to make. more concessions anthemic also israel to abide by

the previous understanding's the syrian government has stepped up as strikes on rebel held it live province killing at least twenty two people at the shelling forced evacuation of the city's university on thursday schools and residential neighborhoods in the town of consider a way to know what the un described as the worst barreled bombing campaign in fifteen months and live is designated a deescalation zone under an agreement between russia and turkey a hike of women is the project director for iraq syria and lebanon with the international crisis group he says turkey fears a major refugee crisis if the situation gets worse. we've seen some of the really radical factions in the lead actually launching missiles at russian airbase in mame so it's coming from both sides it's. quite difficult to tell if this is sort of a self ignited escalation or if there's a larger plan behind. any major offensive i would look at what caused the. refugee

crisis fortunately in particular and that's why the turks have made it very clear to russia they don't want that to happen in any circumstances and they have been in some progress in terms of having she had patrols or work coordinated patrols along the seas by allying turkish and russian controls but it's not enough it's clearly not enough progress i mean these missiles that have been shot recently showing now that that show it needs to provocations do happen and then the civilians of course bear the brunt of it for turkish soldiers have been killed during fighting in syria and iraq one of the soldiers died in the attack by u.s. backed kurdish y.p. g. forces in tel rifat turkey has no sniper ation in response in the area earlier three turkish soldiers were killed in northern iraq. european leaders of criticized

washington's decision to restrict oil trade with iran development came after iran's president called on his country to resist and unite against the u.s. which is further tighten restrictions on terror nuclear program the us however did not renew to sanction waivers that were in place to allow some countries to do business with iran and iran will now be in violation of the curbs if it continues to ship heavy water made in the nuclear process to oman the us has also made it harder for iran to dispose of any enriched uranium there is renewed some sanction waivers that allow russia china the u.k. and france to work with iran on civilian nuclear projects but president hassan rouhani says the u.s. is trying to sow division among iranians. as the united states is violating international laws and pressuring companies to prevent them cooperating with iran and seeking to weaken our currency and the independence of our country there are huge conspiracies against our country and the american administration is waging a political and psychological war against us

a decision to change the regime in iran washington aims to spread division in the country and the iranians must unite to face this war. where is the director of the gold studies center at qatar university he says the u.s. is still fixated with iran's oil industry. the american administration and the tram they wanted to basically blocked iran exporting even one millimeter of it runs. so that is the core of the business and the other way it is there's not actually affect the whole concept the united states now want to make sure the iran cannot import any bottle from second of me and that basically will lead that iran will lose the main source of revenue for its own actually budget which means more economy problems more pressure on the regime which basically put the regime in the corner that is the main thing you know what you know all of those waivers they speak about i think the right to show that they are actually taken into

consideration the interest of other countries especially u.k. germany other countries basically none of the eight countries now they are saying we are actually committing ourselves with what the trump wants so they are keeping silent now because. we will wait a few weeks before the impact of this. decision on their economy so none of those countries now is actually saying that you know we are against this however it seems that all of these countries are waiting who will be ringing the bell first and saying actually no our economy would be a real trouble if we actually accept this kind of pressure from the united states on the oil sector of iran weapons experts are trying to confirm the latest suspected rocket launches from north korea u.s. president donald trump has tweeted saying he's confident the north korean leader won't break his promise of a finding a solution to denuclearization south korea's defense minister.
