this point in time to a hate crime the f.b.i. will be looking into that with the other federal authorities right now we're looking out for tension with capital murder charges for this individual he is a 21 year old white man who allegedly posted a racist rant on line on an extremist website just an hour or so before the shooting an emotional democratic presidential hopeful that oh all roark who is from el paso announced he was canceling further campaigning and heading back to his city and so i just ask for everyone strength for a passing right now everyone's resolve to make sure that this does not continue to happen in in this country u.s. president donald trump called the shooting an act of cowardice and promised the city and state any help the federal government could extend but democratic
6:06 pm
presidential candidates including o'rourke linked trump and his rhetoric to the shooting senator bernie sanders wrote on twitter we must reject this growing culture of bigotry espoused by trump and his allies rob is with us now live in el paso robles the status of the investigation into this mass shooting. well adrian police are still combing the scene we expect to get a briefing from some of the authorities later this morning here in el paso but they haven't released any new information as of yet we do know about the suspect that public records filed with the court here in el paso show that a man named patrick percy this age 21 cruciatus excuse me was arraigned booked on these charges and he's in custody we are getting some reports from
6:07 pm
curse yes's crissy this is a home area near a suburb of dallas schoolmates of his when he was younger say he was an extreme loner rarely talked to other students and was also was bullied at least verbal by classmates as far as the wounded in this incident as you recall those 26 people who were wounded the el paso del sol hospital reports 11 patients ranging in age from 35 to 82 years old are being treated there 8 of the patients in stable condition 2 in critical condition and several already undergone surgery and are likely to undergo further surgical procedures university hospital another area medical facility is also treating gunshot wound victims and says that there are a number of mexican nationals among the wounded they were not able to give the
6:08 pm
number of mexican citizens but the mexican consuls office has been to the hospital and also the mexican foreign ministry confirmed yesterday that several of its citizens had been involved in the shooting have been victims of the shooting it's a popular place there's a lot of cross border traffic and it's a popular place for shopping from people. from the nearby city of c. a dud water is in mexico so it's a not only a national tragedy in the united states it's also spilled across international borders rob one you've been talking we've just got wood a capital murder charge been filed against the mt arrested in this shooting incident do we know any more about this. alleged gunman's background and motives not that much i mean as i mentioned we got some reports from the
6:09 pm
dallas area he lived in a suburban area called al and that is a largely white suburb of dallas dallas is about a 1000 kilometers away from el paso so the suspect drove a great distance to get here if in fact the. online screed that was filed on one of the extremist web sites sites 8 chan under the name of p chrysis if that is in fact his work then we know that he a harbors a great deal of hatred for latinos especially. talks in his online diatribe about. the replacement of the white population of the united states by latinos and how they're going to achieve total political power within the democratic party he also criticizes the republican party
6:10 pm
but the main theme of that online screed is one of rid and bigotry. al-jazeera as rob rattles reporting live from el paso texas wrote many things will gun control is always a contentious political issue in the u.s. of course the presidential election is now just over a year away one democratic candidates pete but a judge has said that america is under attack from what he calls homegrown white nationalist terrorism let's bring it out as here is alan fischer who's live for us in washington d.c. allan president trump called the el paso shooting an act of cowardice there are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people he wrote on twitter but there are those that would accuse the president and his rhetoric of being part of the problem. well i can't think of any point where the president has described a shooting of this kind if indeed the racist streak that was posted online was by
6:11 pm
the el paso shooter as a case of domestic terrorism but there are democratic candidates for the presidential nomination who are quite happy to point the finger at a donald trump and say he is a racist and his rhetoric has not helped he. comes from el paso says that the president has made americans scared of immigrants and that has inflamed tensions we have julian castro who is also from texas who is also running for the democratic nomination saying that the whole tone of the conversation would be different no if the shooter was muslim and so donald trump is under pressure to change the way he talks about immigration and the way he tweets about immigration but might move any who is his chief of staff in the white house has in the last hour or so say it is says it's nonsense to try and blame donald trump for what has happened and el paso he says quite rightly there has been mass shootings in america going back several
6:12 pm
administrations and to suddenly say the president is responsible for that is bordering on the ridiculous and there are plenty of around the president who will say he is not responsible for what has happened and el paso is not responsible for what happened in dayton ohio the people responsible for the people that pulled the trigger will the events of the weekend in el paso in dayton be enough at least to get congress to try to do something about gun control. well there are those who would suggest that if the death of more than 20 children at an elementary school in connecticut the sandy hook shootings back in 2012 if that won't change congress and change the gun laws in the united states then nothing is going to change but there are those who still try sherrod brown who is the democratic senator from ohio he has called for the senate to reconvene this week to at least debate discuss and
6:13 pm
packs pass new background checks as long as the senate is controlled by mitch mcconnell and the republicans that's simply not going to happen what may change though is the fact that we have 15 months away from a us presidential election and so gun violence may well become one of the key talking points maybe something the democratic candidate runs on and me well be something that they use as a stick to beat donald trump and others in the race so is there a possibility that things would change if you look at past history recent history experience would tell you that is highly unlikely but these are volatile times people are very upset about what's happened remember most of america went to bed on saturday night trying to come to terms with what happened and el paso and walk up on sunday morning to news of another mass shooting in america and 29000 i was there
6:14 pm
as our reporting live from washington d.c. out of many things iran's revolutionary guard says that it sees a foreign oil tanker in the gulf which they accuse of smuggling fuel to quote some arab states this would be the 3rd season of by iran in less than a month of gulf war since i was a 0 source of your body reports into iran. they say that the vessel along with the 7 crew members have been taken to the port city of share where the 7 crew members have been arrested in iran now the nationalities of these individuals have not been released yet this is just yet another example of how the revolutionary guards are currently showing their willingness and capabilities when it comes to patrolling and policing the waters that surround iran meanwhile earlier on sunday we heard from the government spokesperson i lead robbery where he commented about the latest sanctions the u.s. government has imposed on foreign ministers about serif let's hear some of what he
6:15 pm
had to say in. the u.s. action on foreign minister zarif is against all diplomatic procedures and is an unprecedented event in the history of diplomacy that one government keep claiming to be ready for negotiations and then to put sanctions on a foreign minister of that country well isn't it ridiculous he was invited by a senator to have a meeting at the white house then they imposed sanctions on him foreign minister zarif is responsible for foreign policy and the diplomatic path should pass through him. apparently this meeting will never take place between foreign ministers of arts or if an any u.s. official because the iranian position is that until these sanctions that have been imposed on iran by the united states government since they withdrew from the nuclear agreement last year until those sanctions are lifted the iranians are not going to have any kind of dialogue between with u.s. officials this is just yet another example of how. tense the situation is between the 2 sides the iranians are adamant that the u.s.
6:16 pm
government is putting economic pressure on iran to try and force them back to the negotiating table and that is something that the iranians have said will never happen. was not a question is a lecture at the university of applied sciences in tehran he joins us now live from the iranian capital thanks for being with us who would be smuggling fuel in the gulf and to which arab states would it be heading it's not as if any arab states except perhaps yemen would be short on fuel and if the vessel was bound for yemen some may conclude that it would most likely be coming from iran what's going on here. hello adrian and thanks for having me oh well as a matter of fact and ever since oil was found and discovered in iran. the governments before and after the revolution they have been subsidizing fuel prices heavily because the people believe that no they have the largest or 2nd largest oil reserves in the war so they shouldn't be paying much for fuel so iranians are not
6:17 pm
paying even 110th that's 10 percent of real prices and the persian gulf or in any other open market for each leader a fuel that has encouraged me in all smug link and. it has made it a very lucrative illegal business activity and there are been thousands of iranian and foreigners who have been smuggling huge cargoes in order to make a fortune and after decades of fighting by the law enforcement police coast guard and others they call the i.r.g.c. navy for help in especially considering that huge cargo is like 1000000 liters or discipline that they just seized today that was 700000 liters they've been seized you know and these huge cargoes have been found.
6:18 pm
in the sea in the persian gulf by the i.r.g.c. navy of throughout the last couple of years they have been finding more and more but this is not a question i observe any judge is going to make it clear you're saying that this vessel could have been coming from it could have had it raining an oil on board. it has sure as has been a smuggling fuel out of iran of course to a number of countries the whole countries around iran if you go there you will see the prices the fuel prices are 10 times more it's been carrying fuel not oil of course it's been carrying probably gas i don't know but one thing is for sure if you just remember last month before the british ship was taken into custody this the 9 peril before that and we carrier than that ship over seas it was a foreign ship it was seized in iranian waters for smuggling fuel it was carrying
6:19 pm
1000000 live there and it was operating on their panama flag but panama took back the flag after they they were convinced that the ship was involved in smuggling activity there are been some unofficial and informal reports saying that the actual foreign ship was involved in. illegal business activity that that was a one of the ships in the supply chain of the sense come and it was taking the fuel the smuggle fuel out of iran for the sense come warships in the region but of course there are been no official reports confirming this so far but this is something you know that has made these 2 activities i mean these 2 developments the political development that ended up in the iranian and british
6:20 pm
you know ships seizure that's a completely different issue because that last month cargo was somehow suspicious it is made the whole situation somehow ambiguous so when they say this $700000.00 will be their cargo that was being smuggled out of iran and seized in the iranian water near the for. r.c. island in the persian gulf it was heading south were to. some arab states on the southern rims of the persian gulf we are not sure exactly if it was headed to the sand or to some business activity legal business people somewhere else a case of perspective we haven't heard before midst of a concession many thanks indeed for being with us. this is that he's on from up 0 still to come on the program sudan's military joint opposition coalition agree a power sharing deal that paves the way for a transitional got. to be why this anger in pakistan is deadly since thousands more
6:21 pm
troops into indian administered kashmir. place a school flying high the best of the action from the championship ball but details about that. actually make that 30 minutes now turkey's president rich of time but i want to send in troops into an area controlled by kurdish y p g fighters in world in syria why p.g. has been an important u.s. ally in the battle against eisel but turkey sees it as a terrorist group let's go live now to the end tip of the turkey syria border of syria is in a hot as that what's the significance of this saying oh. well turkey is growing increasingly impatient it believes that there is a national security threat along its borders president or dog on threatening a cross border operation in the east of the euphrates area it's not the 1st time
6:22 pm
turkey makes this threat erdogan believes the y. p.g. is an offshoot of the kurdistan workers' party a group which is outlawed in turkey it has been at war with the p k k for decades so for turkey this is a national security threat and it wants to clear the border area from the presence of the y.p. gee now turkey has carried out cross border operations in the past in syria since 20162 operations but those operations where in the areas under the fear of influence of the russians and the turks and the russians actually cooperate in syria but in the northeast east of the euphrates this is and the area under the control of the americans the americans are allies of the y p g in syria which makes it really. difficult for turkey because these are nato allies and that they could risk confrontation if they do carry out their cross border operation but his statement coming on the eve of the arrival of a new military delegation from the united states to hold further discussions in
6:23 pm
ankara all right so how is this going to ultimately impact upon the already frayed relationship between turkey and the u.s. . yes it is a strained relationship it has been testing the relationship to almost 2 weeks ago jay jeffrey the u.s. special envoy was an anchor holding talks with turkish officials turkey has been accusing the united states of stalling there is no agreement on this plan safe zone the americans are ready to agree to a zone of the proximately 5 kilometers what turkey wants is a zone of 20 kilometers and not just that turkey wants to control this area it is something that the united states is not accepting so the proposals are on the table the differences remain deep so definitely this is going to test an already strained relationship between these nato allies have 0 reporting live from the turkey syria borders and in many thanks protesters are making their way through hong kong after
6:24 pm
police used tear gas to carry them from a different part of the city it's the 4th straight day of demonstrations the marches in both central hong kong and in the outlying suburbs activists angry over a proposed thanks traditional and the police response to process was the result of thomas was that. the protest is tactics and to change rather than choosing one target and surrounding that like a police station on sunday did we could simply moving it around in your hand starting at one end of august to getting this russian that they were heading cool beijing's liaison office here but when they got there and found lots of right place they immediately got into the metro system and went to a totally different part of hong kong marlo's way that's not shopping district and probably would have been a round here with no police to be saying i don't think i have now caught up with the use today just ahead we're. proud of this crowd now says they're going to go to
6:25 pm

6:29 pm
a mass shooting in el paso texas at least 20 people died but a gunman opened fire at a shopping center on saturday meanwhile officers a searching the home of a 21 year old man who allegedly killed 9 people in dayton ohio. to a case president to one is sending troops troops i'm sorry troops into an area controlled by kurdish y p g fighters in northern syria why p.g. has been an important u.s. ally in the battle against eyesore but turkey sees it as a terrorist group. and it's the 4th straight day of demonstrations in hong kong protesters marched in both central parts of the capital and the outlying suburbs activists are angry over a proposed x. . additional on the police response to the protests. let's get more now on our top story the shootings in the u.s. the been the 13 mass shootings in america over the past week alone the shooting in ohio was the 251st attack so far this year that's according to a u.s.
6:30 pm
based group that monitors gun violence which defines a mass shooting as an incident where formal people or killed $270.00 people were killed in such attacks this year did 2018 at least $368.00 people were killed in gun violence making it the worst year since tracking of these types of incidents began political analysts eric ham joins us now from washington d.c. eric a nearly 5 hours of democratic presidential nominee to base a few days ago the issue of gun control was mentioned once will be events of this weekend at least force it back on to the agenda i believe it will in fact when you look at the shooting in el paso that's the former congressional district of democratic presidential candidate better or war and we know that now he has removed himself from the campaign to return to the city of el paso to confront them and help with the situation on the ground and also to one while we don't know
6:31 pm
for certain if this manifesto that was posted online actually is linked to the shooter i do believe if in fact it proves to be the case a given some of the language that we have heard from president donald trump and from his administration as relates to emma grant and the latino community in general i think this could be tied more directly to the president which i think will raise the conversation around the issue of gun violence and what the what lawmakers in washington are doing to confront it is that conversation going to help democratic democratic campaigns but surely the president is just going to say look at look here come the democrats they want to take it guns away again. sure and i think you know there's always that are you man and unfortunately this issue has now like many other issues issues have been divided along partisan lines you have ridhima kratz and republicans who are striving and their response to this issue
6:32 pm
where i think we could see this actually have empath is if you go back to what took place in the wake of the parkland shooting the school shooting that took place in parklane florida and the fact that you had many of those children began to mobilize and play a role in the election process beginning 1st with marches and registering people to vote well in the wake of that shooting we saw democrats take control of the house of representatives and many actually believe that the impetus or of the catalyst of that park and shooting along with the organizing that took place around that helped with the outcome and that election and so now that we're heading into the all important presidential election many believe that this could be an issue that that law makers and candidates can and prosody will use to mobilize voters. around gun control ultimately tends to to run into a war. and we see no change could be different this time.
6:33 pm
well i think where it could be different is typically one of the key allies for this fight for maintaining guns is the national rifle association the n.r.a. and the n.r.a. is one of the most powerful and influential lobbying groups and all of washington but we know that right now the n.r.a. is coming under heavy fire both terminally and externally and internally because there is a an ongoing massive power shargel within the organization externally we know that the new york attorney general is actually looking at the charter of the organization itself so you've got an organization that is fighting on both fronts and now is in a fight for its own very survival and i think that could do wendel the amount of influence and impact that it has on this ongoing debate and you mentioned the president how much pressure will he be on the to change his language but he's been
6:34 pm
on the come to pressure before to do just that and he has oh sure he gets ready he has and in fact when you look back at the senate got shooting and pittsburgh pennsylvania many believe that much of the president's language around immigration and talking about immigration was the and was one of the catalyst for that shooting and i think we will see where many will try to tie the president and his lame which to what took place in el paso texas of course you're going to have a number of people coming out condemning the president and saying the president should changes changes language but again i think much of how the president will moderate his language on this issue will be a result of the enormous amount of and fluence and lobbying that we see from outside organizations bringing their forces to bear from a political standpoint both on the president and on lawmakers to act. eric always
6:35 pm
good to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us eric ham there in washington now to the bowl outbreak in the democratic republic of congo a doctors without borders says that they lead 2 thirds of those who've been infected have died one in 3 patients is under the age of 18 now other countries are trying to prevent the disease reaching their borders mozambique which is 2000 kilometers away is setting up disease checkpoints along its border with malawi rwanda briefly shut its border with the democrat democratic republic of congo on thursday after 4 patients in the eastern congolese city of goma just a positive for the disease to all the others are being tested for possible infection al-jazeera stephanie decker reports now from rwanda's capital kigali. it's a health workers nightmare a busy border crossing thousands of people in close contact and constantly on the move and have an army going oh you're going to get this medical worker tells people

to wash their hands they're going to know your. health checks and hygiene measures of titan between the democratic republic of congo and rwanda ever since multiple cases of the abode of virus were discovered here in goma the congolese city of more than 2000000 people. people are washing their hands as a precaution to the outbreak of disease to tell us it is spreading through their homes that's why they're asking us to wash water mixed with medication. the virus is paul through body fluids including sweat there is a vaccine that has been used for quite some time the world health organization says it has a very high success rate and you only need one shot but there's a problem when the. vaccination is not approved for mass use it's usually given to those exposed to the virus and it's also given to the doctors and health workers as they are handling those cases to protect them from contracting the virus there is still no officially approved vaccine on the market but we're told this one is
6:37 pm
expected to be officially approved at some stage there is also a lot of confusion around the virus and a lot of suspicion of foreign health workers here in eastern d.r. see. it's a remote region that has been neglected by the government and torn apart by years of conflict. it would have been better if our leaders and those who are concerned would give us more information they have not informed us where we can get this vaccine so that all of us can go and actually get it. all of us need to be vaccinated. this is the 2nd worst outbreak on record more than a 1800 people have died of the virus in the d.r. c. over the past year but the fact that it is now reached a border city is what's causing. the problem to the government here in rwanda to close its western border for a few hours on thursday as it beefed up its health screening procedures on the problem with this virus is once you identify someone infected by it do they need to
6:38 pm
trace all the people they have come into contact with them vaccinate them and potentially it is a highly infectious disease and containing it is a real challenge stephanie decker al-jazeera. the opposition coalition of signed a deal on the constitutional declaration the african union's envoy to sudan says the document outlines the division of power until elections can be held in 3. ports . after months of violence and protracted negotiations the people of sudan finally how about roadmap to a peaceful future. at a ceremony in the tomb general mohammad tom dunn the deputy head of the military genter and be our protest leader signed the declaration. dear honorable citizens today we turned a page a very difficult page in our country's history that was full of conflict and fighting we agreed to move forward to build a new state in the transitional phase there greenman provides for
