in 10 the dynamics of the nation what sort of assurances are you talking about and by whom. i want to be able to specific i mean countries but it's very obvious that after having visited saudi arabia general. and his vice miti they came up with a different look at the they are now putting a different face previously they were very diplomatic in their appeal to the people i know they are very blunt. and it seems that they are not very much worried about the intended dynamics because probably they have received tons of money and they have received assurances that they will get some support from international policy of multi-unit parts but what is me more is. no i mean by. if the by adopting such a policy it seems that they are unwilling to think about the consequences of such
12:01 am
a blunt act i mean both locally and in ted many. regionally internally i think that they. they think that they can. somehow. hamper any any political unrest or they're just going to disrupt the political process by co-opting or bribing some leaders which they have already succeeded they have already co-opted somebody that is from the forces of freedom and the if have seen they are already trying to lead you to meet themselves by appealing to some tribal. leaders especially in the western part of the country so this is mean this is one aspect of the equation but this the most important aspect is is them overlooking the regional dynamics in i mean if if they choose to not respect national sovereignty day
12:02 am
such a bogus act is going to a negative effect the intended regional dynamics and if you're not is in his visit to if you will pia general was was very poorly received the sent a 2nd delegation to receive him at the airport and they made it very clear to him that they are not willing to give up with the rules and regulations of the african union the african union made it very clear that it's only going to accept civilian rule in sudan so what happens then in the next few days just very briefly . i think i think if if the association of professional spy up the pressure on the government. that's going to affect the intended dynamic. military itself is likely to happen because whatever we see you know is just. has
12:03 am
succeeded in hijacking the political platform it's not the actual military itself so it's. should things go out of control. i think the protests are going to be too to be caught up. between the 2 different fighting ok we thank you very much for your analysis on al jazeera much more to come on the al-jazeera news hour including police search for a motive after the worst mass shooting in the u.s. this year why it's taken more than 2 years for the body of a veteran congolese opposition leader to return home in sport when the new zealand put on a good show against sri lanka at the cricket world cup that's coming up a little later.
12:04 am
but 1st loyalist forces excuse me loyal to libya's u.n. recognized government say they've pushed. fighters south of the capital near the disused international airports they say they've also bombed have positions in the south in april he launched a surprise military offensive to capture the libyan capital and the u.n. is saying more than 1000 people have fled their homes to escape the fighting. is joining us now for more on this story from tripoli how much of a setback then is this all for have to his forces. well the now retreating to have those forces at that is according to a government military sources military sources with the un and the government say they are advancing in the vicinity of the old in active international airport in the southern parts of the libyan capital meanwhile medical sources in the
12:05 am
battlefield say that 3 pro-government fighters were killed in today's clashes and others wanted the also say that to. have to dead bodies were picked up from the battlefield that's according to the medical sources who told us this information in the vicinity of the an active all international airport the clashes are going on right now but the government forces have not reached the airport yet this airport is very strategic as you know that have to his forces have been controlling this airport for the last month and the government forces in return have been trying to recapture the airport because it's very strategic it's considered this supporting gleitman for have to his forces in 4 other axes and then also of the of the airport in swanny and the good neighborhoods
12:06 am
and in the east of the airport in and for jan and neighborhoods if the government forces the capture the airport then they can easily cut the supporting life or have to the forces in these 4 axes and also the governor can move towards a sort of been assured which is the supporting area for have to force us to remain and as always with this fading it's the civilians that are caught up in the u.n. saying that more than $90000.00 people have had to flee their homes because of the fighting what more is the u.n. saying about where they are going. well this situation is actually going from bad to worse especially for civilians. among the $500.00 or more than $500.00 people who have been killed so far since april force since the beginning of the fighting many civilians including women and children are among the victims we spoke to those who are have been forced out of
12:07 am
their homes because of the fighting people from one to the bia and they're also from. neighborhoods they literally say that they left behind did the dead bodies of their neighbor to neighbor as they left everything behind and the living really. a tragedy as they say in their words also there are certain problems there as have happened because of the fighting as you know that the water has been cut from the south of the country to tripoli and several neighborhoods have been. people there have been suffering from the lack of water there and also because of the. plants that were hit by the fighting civil neighborhoods lived in blackout for days so this situation is getting worse especially in the southern neighborhoods the government forces say that the are determined to recapture the airport the old airport and if the recapture the old airport then they can move to control of the
12:08 am
reins are and neighborhoods but the question now is because. density perpetrate populated districts so the question now is whether or not the government forces can move towards these areas surely with civilians are stacked there. thank you. police in the u.s. state of virginia have identified the gunman and his victims in friday's mass shooting duwayne craddock an engineer who had worked for the city of virginia beach for 15 years shot and killed 12 his coworkers the suspect died after a long gun battle with police this is the worst incident of mass shooting in the u.s. so far this year. once you enter an environment such as this everything changes things change in a moment's notice such as. the gun battle with the suspect we did train as recently
12:09 am
as march 30th that officers had to make instantaneous decisions at that moment in time on how to engage the suspect they did it. miraculously because you're right they did save other lives for hundreds of castro's live in virginia beach where the shooting took place what's the latest you're hearing heidi. well during more on this suspect police are saying that he had no previous criminal record and would not say what may have motivated the wayne craddock to open fire on his colleagues we know the shooting happened yesterday just before the end of the business day inside this new discipline building that craddick was there as a current employee he had his security badge access to all levels and restricted areas of the building and that is how he was able to sweep through from all 3 floors leaving 12 dead in his wake police say he was also armed with a 45 caliber handgun they had a silencer and
12:10 am
a magazine extender it's notable that this type of extender would have been illegal had a ban on them not expired in the united states in 2004 now today's is a day of mourning of remembering those 12 lives lost each of their names and their contribution to the city was listed earlier today during that press conference and it's a tough day ahead of many days where their lives will be remembered at a vigils spread across the city there and what's the reaction amongst the community there are people who you've been speaking to. well the community says they are heartbroken and they are going to these vigils at churches and other movie theaters and events to remember those who are dead president trump just tweeted recently sending his condolences saying that the support of the federal government is here in virginia beach all of the democratic candidates for president
12:11 am
have also outrage on twitter in saying that this is the time for gun reform but if you ask what the average american member of the american public may feel about the shooting it's hard to say we if we actually look at a year back there was a similar shooting on the other side of the country also 12 people dead that happened at a restaurant in 1000 oaks california now if you ask the average american if they remember that likely the answer is no so what we have here are these repeated images of chaos and fear playing out on american television screens and a sense of desensitization to these images across the country even as these thoughts and prayers continue to pour in the wake of this most recent tragedy the reality is that in washington d.c. where the powerful n.r.a. gun lobby still holds much sway over republican members of congress there is still no real political will at least as at this point to do anything to control guns and
12:12 am
try to prevent this from happening again all right as are castro thank you. government departments in the united states sort odds over the introduction of 5 g. technology so billions of dollars are being made from the sale of satellite bandwidth space to wireless companies but some scientists say that's getting in the way of their ability to forecast the weather i can explains from washington. when are you concerned he hit the u.s. coast it was disastrous but it could have been far worse if where the scientists had not predicted the path of the storm and the point at which it would hit several days before date on hurricane sandy very impressive storm the national oceanographic and atmospheric agency noah says this will no longer be the case if bandwidth in space is sold off to 5 g. companies the reason noah says senses on satellites that measure crucial indicators
12:13 am
like water vapor are being compromised by the signals from 5 g. providers in a shared bandwidth there is genuine concern here that as 5 g. is deployed in it interferes with those atmospheric signals that we're trying to detect with the weather satellites that we will not be able to provide the same quality and reliability a forecast that we have currently. but the f.c.c. and the 5 g. industry denies there would be any interference and wireless industry representative brad gillen said in a blog post it's an absurd claim with no science behind it he maintained that no as claim relies on the study of a microwave sensor that never went to to use not so insist the scientists well i can tell you that there are many scientists know or nasa and outside of the government that are looked at us and also our international colleagues and determined they are there is
12:14 am
a serious threat here and that the science must be considered or we do risk losing our predictions or major storms that would impact society the updated senses also improve research into climate change factors a critical study given the unprecedented increase in extreme weather conditions ranging from intense drought to an seasonal storms. but this argument is rejected by influential figures in the administration who are climate change skeptics including the president himself. officials from the u.s. state department attempting to bring the 2 sites closer together a unified position is critical as a meeting will spectrum regulators is due to take place later this year but the scientists are hoping that the conflict will be resolved by an international convention that would deny 5 g. operators access to the same bandwidth as the weather senses. in
12:15 am
a month that seen a series of tornadoes strike us states the fear of scientists is that the trumpet ministration may be reluctant to sign any more international agreements and will side with those intent on securing a river new stream from 5 g. providers rather than those attempting to predict the next economically crippling threat from the weather. mike hanna al jazeera washington here's what's coming up on the al-jazeera news hour how mexico's president is promising to bring closure for those who spend years looking for missing loved ones. britain's boris johnson gets a presidential vote of confidence as he attempts to take over the prime minister's office and the top seed tumbles at the french open media be action from paris coming up a little later in sports. how

12:17 am
even him traveling over a little as we go through the next day retracted temperature down from 41 to about 39 degrees but you drive we have got showers down towards the southern end of the red sea into that western side of the gulf of aden some showers around the horn of africa of course these are the summer rains which are trying to set in on the other side of the arabian sea so a lot of the top temperature 33. the strength of al jazeera is that because we have such an extensive network people were coming to us and actually shared information with the team in truck after. al jazeera was goes on a roller coaster journey here on and discover it's an intolerant refugee community itself beliefs and identity. i'd like to prove to the world. cup. i will be able to prove myself to my homes from. amongst all the

12:19 am
protesters setting up barricades outside its headquarters forces loyal to libya's u.n. recognized government say the 1st war of $24.00 have to fighter south of the capital on saturday at least 3 of their fighters were killed during that operation mexico's foreign minister is in washington for talks on is expected to meet my pompei later this week. after president donald trump threatened to impose tariffs on mexico if it doesn't stop migrants from entering the united states let's not take a closer look at the escalating trade war between the u.s. and china the world's 2 biggest economies beijing is imposing tariffs ranging from 5 to 25 percent on $60000000000.00 worth of american imports it's also planning to unveil a list of foreign companies it deems unreliable that's seen as a response to u.s. attempts to block the global expansion of chinese telecom giant weiwei and china is threatening to restrict exports of rare earth minerals that many companies in the
12:20 am
u.s. depend on and are tangan is a china analyst and economist he says china is responding carefully in order to avoid hurting their own people. for china they see this is a. case of the united states taking security and trade and politics and combining them in and all kind of pressure front donald trump seems to be taking a blunderbuss or a shotgun to these particular issues not only in china but around the world for china it's much more of a issue of a rifle what they're doing is they're being instituted new tariffs today but those are very carefully calibrated to make sure that this is not going to rebound or there will be very little effect on chinese consumers there are no winners in a trade war and in this particular case it's not only the u.s. and china involved it will be the whole world because what you're starting to see is this kind of contagion which is going to affect not only companies in the u.s.
12:21 am
but other places if china goes ahead with any kind of reduction in the numbers of in the amounts of rare earths that are going to the united states that could be very very damaging specially over the short term it's very difficult to see how this is going to end of this kind of tit for tat thing goes on but beneath all of this it seems to be a tremendous amount of anger and concern in the united states i think mostly driven by the fact that over the last 30 years 90 percent of the american public has experienced 8.4 percent decrease in their real income meanwhile during that same period the u.s. was the lion's share of 2 thirds of the world's profits which are flowing to the developed world it just seems that this is that china is feels that it's being singled out well trade isn't the only area where the u.s. and china are at odds washington's also taking aim at beijing's foreign policy
12:22 am
speaking at a security forum in singapore the acting u.s. defense secretary patrick shanahan warned china to stop threatening its neighbors sovereignty china has denied the allegations and blames american naval activities in the south china sea and washington support for taiwan for any instability china should have a cooperation with the rest of the region to. but we're here to rules other nations are and so is this dress. must. mourners in the democratic republic of congo are paying tribute to veteran opposition leader. the long time opposition leader died in belgium 2 years ago but political turmoil prevented the return of his body he died before his son felix won the presidency in elections last year her most hasa has more from concetta. supporters of 18 inches the kitty are calling this a victory against the former government he died 2 years ago but it took
12:23 am
a long time to bring his body back home partly because of the political toll at that time and the disagreements with those of the former president things are changing now his son felix the k.t. is not the president and they say the ceremony is to celebrate a hero a man who spoke out against corruption a man who challenge leaders such as the buddhist as the sickle laurent kabila and joseph kabila he spent decades in politics participated in several elections but he never managed to become president when joseph kabila refuted that down when his term ended it was the k.t. who led the forefront to try and convince him to leave office now all eyes will be on his son bill it's just the k.v. he won the election in december but it was controversial some people here believe opposition to the modifier you won he went to court but he lost in court the judges they see that he had no case opposition critics some of them believe that perhaps some kind of deal was made with joseph kabila the former president to make sure
12:24 am
phillips of the k.t. becomes president and some kind of deal was made whereby we see capella still controlling some key functions the government which include parliament and senate both men deny those claims now the keeping of course is watching flitter the k.b. he has big shoes to fill in some analysts say is he going to be strong charismatic and speak out against corruption that his father did or. is he going to be a leader who takes the backseat and some people believe here is he going to be told what to do by outside plans the syrian government under its ally russia have reportedly bombed several rebel controlled areas in the country's northwest airstrikes have hit the city of a tied up in the western aleppo countryside and several towns and hama province activists say there have also been vomiting south of the well hundreds of thousands of syrians are in the firing line as government forces try to recapture the last remaining rebel held areas opposition fighters have been pushed back to an area
12:25 am
around it in the province of the northwest hundreds of people have been killed since last month the u.n. children's agency says this includes more than 130 children the world food program says more than 300000 people have been displaced by the fighting and camps are overcrowded and supplies are running short the u.n. has warned the fighting is putting humanitarian operations risk careen fleisher is the country director of the world food program in syria she says the situation is dire for those fleeing the violence and. as we are witnessing a catastrophic. lives are being lost people must flee conflict there on the move that displaced civilian infrastructure is being used right and now we also see farmland being destroyed which will have an impact on food security beyond repair 300000 people have been displaced mostly moving from the south but the north of how much will we're to noise in camps and all the program has been able to reach
12:26 am
190000 people with emergency assistance which is food that can that is can't and people can't eat on. the situation is it and it has to stop this is a very densely populated area and the camps are who are the people who received. tents from humanitarian partners but they have nowhere to pitch them you know one man told us that our partners that d he has been under move and he had to carry his aging and wounded mother for hours on his back until he found a vehicle to take them or another woman is telling us that you know in a blink of an eye she has lost everything and her children are traumatized from the bombs and the shelling fall from the sky so that people are moving north to woods
12:27 am
to safety to which these camps but they don't find a place to to really settle even if temporarily but that was the program he's able to reach the camp with with the lifesaving for the systems. it's been 6 months since mexican president dress manual lopez obrador came to power and one of his main challenges is tackling the violence that's plagued this country for more than a decade president has also made the issue of missing people a priority $40000.00 people have disappeared since 2006 and that means each year more than $3000.00 people are reported missing in mexico $26000.00 bodies remain an identified in words and other places the government says between december and may this year 337 bodies were found in $222.00 mass graves across the country it's promised to spare no expense to find a solution to the decades long problem john heilemann traveled to similar to meet
12:28 am
with victims and perpetrators of mexico's violence. loose movie is sifting through mud from the bottom of the can now trying to find the remains of her son he's been missing since armed men burst into his house and took him away that was 5 years ago finding pieces of his body is probably the closest to closure. i think about. my life gone through a 360 degree spin i don't have peace i can't sleep here waiting for someone to come and tell you there he was dumped here but 1000 questions with no answers. those questions are being asked by groups of relatives who are scouring the country looking for the 40000 missing for the 1st time we have the chance to put those questions to a man who admits disappearing people he works for the similar lower cartel i asked him why they hide their big tunes the answer he says is simple we're more than
12:29 am
without a body because no crime that's where nobody no grown. it's a common belief in the criminal world it's not completely accurate but the lack of a body doesn't make any murder investigation much harder but that's not the only reason gangsters disappear people it's also meant as a warning to kruger we have a saying it's a dodgy business but we play straight so when someone's given a chance to work on his own to sell the product and they don't pay their dues we make an example of them and say the other's work rate or the same is going to happen to you oh no but of course many of those who disappear in mexico as simply innocent bystanders that hasn't stopped the gangs from inflicting on thousands of families and then ending punishment. afterwards when you when you seen the results for the family how was that made you feel when they're still looking for their lost their lost relative and you know where they are when you know that at least they're
12:30 am
dead but you don't tell them i mean how does that feel remorse. it's something that we know was painful for the families sometimes become an heiress because i don't know where their relative youth but i can't tell them because i'll probably end up just like the victim maybe you feel bad because they could be your friends or people you know but there's nothing you can do. now the government has a new plan to find the disappeared it said unlimited funds will be made available to searching the forensic facilities to identify bodies. but that won't take away the motivation for criminal groups and certain authorities to hide their victims while that remains so too will these desperate searches for lost loved ones and john now is joining us from mexico city how big a challenge john has this been then for the president.
12:31 am
it's been a huge challenge and it's been going on now for more than a decade and a lot of times especially on the past governments there's been a sense here that the government really doesn't want to engage with this problem that it's it's easier for it to sort of hide the magnitude of this than to try and get to grips with it but now we're going to talk a little bit about what president lopez obrador and his administration is doing 6 months into his presidency and to help us to do that we've got with us who liana cano who's from misty international who liana frank for joining us so 1st of all we talked in the piece a lot about the cartels and them and the gangs disappearing people but it's not just them though can you give us a sense of perspective on this problem yes john this is a problem that is no it's not just a drug problem if you see last year american done us a 17 year old he got picked up by police he was disappearing 5 days tortured and then he was returned to his family he had done nothing and now he has psychological
12:32 am
and mental health issues so it's not just you know the cartel it's also the police and just everybody that use his disappearance as a way to solve their everyday problems we talked a little bit as well in the piece there about that the government's got a plan to try and get to grips with this news you say it's not just the gangs it's authorities 2 that are committing these acts how would you sort of assess the progress that the government's made in this 6 months well they created the commission to look for the disappeared and that's a 1st step forward however they still need to get 2 things working better they need to get forensic experts that come and support the work that mexicans are doing because they don't have yet the capacity to do it and they also need to work on their databases because that 40000 people there there and 26000 bodies that have been found you know they come in and out of that debases because there's no organization related to that. so move forensic help move databases and more help from outside as well. this also is
12:33 am
a problem that could be stopped i suppose that the source if you keep finding people and they keep disappearing the prom will still go on no yes it will and as you fell from the piece one of the reasons that people keep disappearing is because they feel that they can get away with it you know he said nobody no crime we say knowing punitive no crime if we get justice for these for the people that have been disappeared if the government investigates those disappearances and the people that disappear go to jail for what they did then we're going to stop the problem from the root there's a lot of ifs there and you've said that the government you know is trying to take steps at the moment to try and resolve this problem how they sort of so to speak put their money where their mouth is at the moment have resources they've said unlimited funds will be available have those funds materialize yet those funds have not materialized yet and it's very good that they have the willingness to do it but they actually have to show with their actions that they're willing to give justice
12:34 am
to all of the victims of the disappeared ok thank you very much for that holy honor so who on a kind of there from the international i think one thing that's very interesting about this not just the 40000 disappeared but also 26000 people in morgues that have been found or in trailers sometimes they just haven't been identified so there's 2 separate problems here that makes to really needs to get to grips with all right john homan reporting from mexico city thank you. u.s. president donald trump is set to begin his state visit to the u.k. on monday but he's already made clear his choice for who should replace prime minister to resign may trump says former foreign secretary boris johnson would make an excellent leader calling him a very talented person both trump and johnson have been critical of the prime minister a maze approach to brecht's it may is set to step down as leader in a week's time but is staying on until her successor is chosen the varchar has more from london. i think it's fair to say that donald trump has
12:35 am
a keen interest in power who has it who doesn't have it and is paying very very close attention to the leadership contest here in the u.k. and in this interview with the sun newspaper he appears to throw his weight behind the ex foreign secretary and hard line breaks a tear boris johnson saying that he would do a very good job i think he would be excellent said donald trump he also said he didn't believe the boys johnson's widely publicized extramarital affairs would stand against him in this leadership race some also some passing comments about some of the other leading contenders as well thumbs up for jeremy hunt the current foreign secretary largely because hunter said that he would spend much more in defense something that donald trump has been insisting european governments do thumbs down though for the environment secretary michael gove another front runner in the leadership contest thumbs down for him largely after he accused donald trump
12:36 am
of saber rattling over the u.s. is iran policy although the comments about boris johnson fall short of a full endorsement they are being seen as something of a bombshell intervention in british domestic politics only days away from donald trump's state visit here to the united kingdom trump was also keen to state there are other contenders in the leadership race had approached him for public support as well which is lit led to a whole raft of speculation over who those m.p.'s knew those contenders may be donald trump very much believes that he can have a strong strong impact on who will be the next occupant of number 10 downing street environmentalists and indigenous groups are speaking out against the u.s. government plan to allow oil exploration in alaska. in wildlife refuge there's been

rivals the us president donald trump seems to be using tariffs as a political weapon to settle everything from trade disputes to immigration so on friday trump threatened to impose tariffs on mexico if it doesn't stop migrants from entering the u.s. mexico's foreign minister is in washington for talks and he's expected to meet mike pompei on wednesday the u.s. is also ending a decades long preferential trade agreement with india and as of saturday american ports began collecting 25 percent tariffs on several goods coming from china while beijing's retaliatory taxes on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. products have also come into effect john holeman is tracking the reactions in mexico city 1st we'll speak to rosin jordan in washington d.c. rosen and mexican officials on that issue are saying that they'll work with existing rules they won't introduce new measures to control migrants something that
12:53 am
the trumpet administration is asking for is that enough to satisfy trump. well if you believe what the president said on friday what his aides also said on friday that mexico is not doing enough to prevent central americans from crossing the mexican border into the united states and that's why this new tariff is slated to take effect on june 10th then the mexican position is not tenable the trumpet ministration is saying this is not a matter of some sort of trade dispute this is because mexico is not doing what we want it to do when it comes to immigration so unless there is some real was a sense of urgency and of reason that comes into the discussions on wednesday it's probably fair to assume that this new tariff will take effect a week from monday all right charles and thank you for that update from washington
12:54 am
let's now bring in john home and he is joining us from mexico city john what's the mexican president been saying how's he been reacting. well he's been really sort of preaching restraint on this issue he said let's not really go to extremes on this and as you were mentioning there rosa also was mentioning yes sent his foreign minister to washington and i think the message that the foreign minister will be trying to hammer home here is that we are actually acting just to give you an example april of this year the tensions of people heading through the country from honduras el salvador guatemala many of the moment to the united states went up 80 percent from the tensions in that month of last year so the president has been getting a lot tougher and it's been noticeable on this side on people heading through and i think that's why he's saying that he thinks the united states might reassess 3 this measure in the days to come we'll have to see what the outcome is of those talks on
12:55 am
wednesday but this is something that president under his money is over a dog has really not wanted he hasn't wanted confrontation with president trump it really maad the governorship of the last president. pena nieto he's wanted to sort of concentrate more on domestic issues and one of the most pressing of those is the number of disappeared in the country there's 40000 pit bulls disappearances in mexico many of those at the hands of organized crime others of those at the hands of the authorities themselves and there's also 26000 people that have been found but it just languishing in molds or in common grace and who haven't been identified by authorities because they lack the forensic capabilities to actually do that we went to look in the northern state of sinhala one of the hot lands of organized crime in mexico to look a little bit more at this program as you'll see in our report. luce movie is

sifting through mud from the bottom of the canal trying to find the remains of her son he's been missing since armed men burst into his house and took him away that was 5 years ago finding pieces of his body is probably the closest to closure. and i know that. my life is gone through a 360 degree spin i don't have peace i can't sleep here waiting for someone to come and tell you he's there he was dumped here a 1000 questions with no answers. those questions are being asked by groups of relatives who are scouring the country looking for the 40000 missing for the 1st time we have the chance to put those questions to a man who admits disappearing people he works for the sin aloa cartel i asked him why they hide their big tins the answer he says is simple we're more than without a body there's no crime. nobody knows. it's
12:57 am
a common belief in the criminal world it's not completely accurate but the lack of a body doesn't make any murder investigation much harder but that's not the only reason gangsters disappear people it's also meant as a warning to kruger we have a saying it's a dodgy business but we play straight so when someone's given a chance to work on his own to sell the product they don't pay their dues we make an example of them and say the other's work rate well the same is going to happen to you oh no but of course many of those who disappear in mexico as simply innocent bystanders that hasn't stopped the gangs from inflicting on thousands of families and then ending punishment. afterwards when you when you've seen the results for the family how was that made you feel when they're still looking for their lost their lost relative and you know where they are or you know that at least they're dead but you don't tell them i mean how does that feel remorse. it's something that
12:58 am
we know was painful for the families sometimes become in our schools and i know where their relative is but i can't tell them because i'll probably end up just like the victim. maybe you feel bad because they could be your friends or people you know but there's nothing you can do. now the government has a new plan to find the disappeared it said unlimited funds will be made available to searching at the forensic facilities to identify bodies. but that won't take away the motivation for criminal groups and certain authorities to hide their victims while that remains so too will these desperate searches for lost loved ones john home and i would visit a similar police in the u.s. state of virginia have identified the gunman in his victim and friday's mass shooting duane crowd allchin engineer who had worked for the city of beach for 15 years shot and killed 12 of his coworkers the suspect died after a long gun battle with police that's the worst incidence of mass shooting in the

u.s. so far this year. once you enter an environment such as this everything changes things change in a moment's notice such as. the gun battle with the suspect so we did train as recent as march 30th but officers had to make instantaneous decisions at that moment in time on having a gauge the suspect they did it. moore from virginia beach. police say craddick the shooter had no previous criminal history and they're still not saying what had been his motive to enter his place of work on friday evening and opened fire on his coworkers killing 12 people police say he was armed with a 45 caliber handgun that had a silencer and a magazine extender it is notable that this type of extender was illegal until 2004 in the united states now the president has weighed in on twitter sending his
1:00 am
condolences to virginia beach saying the federal government is here to support the community and democratic presidential candidates have weighed in on twitter as well calling this outrageous and the latest sign that gun control reform is desperately needed in the united states but if you ask the average american how they may react to the shooting it's in lightning to think a year back when a very similar shooting happened on the other side of the country and 1000 oaks california also 12 people dead from the mass shooting there at a restaurant most americans today will not recall that incident happening such is the repetition of these images of chaos and mass shooting tragedies in the grief that is poured out across american television screens now with increased frequency it is undeniable that the frequency of these mass shootings has gone up exceptionally in the last few years however a washington.
