opposition coalition agree a power sharing deal that paves the way for a transitional government. u.s. prosecutors say the mass shooting in texas is being treated as a domestic terrorism case a white man in his twenty's is now facing the death penalty after 20 people were shot dead at a shopping center in el paso it was the 1st of 2 mass shootings in little over 12 hours reigniting the debate over gun control there have been $22.00 mass killings so far this year police are searching the home of the suspect who's now been charged with capital murder he's believed to have posted a document online talking of what he calls an hispanic invasion of texas. a popular downtown area in dayton ohio was in lockdown after
8:02 pm
a man shot dead 9 people at a bar he was killed by police at the scene. i really want to you all need to think about that a minute if the officers were not in the oregon district. the officers were there less than a minute from the beginning of the shooting this. the shooter was able to kill 9 people and injured 26 in less than a minute we don't know the thoughts of the shooter at this time we know that he was wearing body armor and high capacity magazines and extra magazines spent it's going to tough a tough 6 months for our community. but you work through that and right now our focus is on the families and friends and friends frankly went to went to town town on a saturday night and thought that they go home safe and they that didn't happen
8:03 pm
back especially if you know paso texas obviously was rob reynolds sista. as the investigation continues here in el paso we're learning more about the alleged gunman a man named patrick perseus has been charged with capital murder here in el paso in connection with the 20 deaths at the wal-mart superstore and the adjoining shopping center the individual is from allen texas which is in the dallas suburbs that's about a 1000 kilometers from el paso he's been linked not definitively but. investigators are looking into the link between this individual and an online posting. full of hatred towards immigrants specifically hispanics here which was posted on the extremist website 4 chan which is often used by white supremacists so he is in custody the police say he really has surrendered without
8:04 pm
any putting up any fight and he will face these charges as well as a possible hate crime charges now as far as the number of people wounded in the ring with will call that there were 26 people who were taken to hospitals at one of the hospitals the spokesperson there says they're treating 11 patients a ranging from 35 years to 82 years old for most of them are in stable condition but at least 2 are in critical condition and several have undergone surgery and are likely to undergone a to undergo more surgical procedures as time goes on political analyst eric hamm says that these attacks will certainly ramp up the debate around tights and gun control out of next year's presidential election. when you look at the shooting in el paso that's the former congressional district
8:05 pm
of democratic presidential candidate better or warrick 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 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 it relates to immigrants and the latino community in general i think this could be tie more directly to the president which i think will raise the conversation around the issue of gun violence and what the lawmakers in washington are doing to confront 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 your guns away again this issue has now
8:06 pm
like many other issues wedge issues have been divided along partisan lines so you have read democrats and republicans who are strident and their response to this issue where i think we could see this actually have empacher is if you go back to what took place in the wake of the parkland shooting the school shooting that took place in parkland 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 when shooting along with the organizing that took place around that helped with the outcome in 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 lawmakers and candidates can and possibly will use to mobilize voters. turkey's
8:07 pm
president. says that he's sending troops into an area controlled by kurdish wipe e.g. fights as in northern syria the y.p. g. has been an important u.s. ally in the battle against eisel but turkey sees this as a terrorist group some good. does it do to me the opposition leader warned us against entering afferent and we did then we entered the us and then i'll bump city and now we will enter the east you're free. yes we have talked to russia and the united states because we cannot remain silent with the continuation of the provocative strikes that come from that area we have been patient but our patience has limits al-jazeera zana how to reports now from the un tab. turkey is growing impatient to believe that there is a national security threat along its borders and it wants to deal with that threat president or the guns statement is just another it's just another really in
8:08 pm
a series of threats being made by turkish officials that they will carry out a cross border operation in the east of the euphrates area an area under the control of the syrian armed group the y. p.g. a group turkey considers a terrorist organization and and affiliates of the outlawed kurdistan workers' party the p.k. case so for turkey it is the national security threat that it has carried out cross border operations in syria over the past 2 years but on both occasions the area of operations was under the sphere of influence of russia turkey and russia cooperate in syria but east of the euphrates is an area under the control of the united states which is allied with the white p.g. so this this issue really is testing and already frail relationship between nato allies turkey and the united states they've had meetings over the past few months turkey accusing the united states of stalling a new delegation is arriving in ankara for further talks on monday but whether or
8:09 pm
not they can find common ground it's hard to see because deep differences remain over a planned safe zone and they're discussing a planned safe zone turkey's insisting it's 20 kilometers deep in turkey can insist that they it controls the zone which is something the united states has so far not except that iran's revolutionary guard says it seized an iraqi oil tanker in the gulf which it accuses of smuggling fuel to some arab states this would be the 3rd season of by iran in less than a month and gulf forces reports. the revolutionary guards media relations department have released a statement saying that they have seized a vessel that they've accused of trying to smuggle 700000 liters of fuel this seizure apparently took place near the island of farsi island which is in between iran and saudi arabia and it parenting happened on wednesday the revolutionary guards have said that they seized this vessel and the 7 crew members on board and
8:10 pm
this vessel is currently now at the port city of shared the 7 people they have been arrested in iran and their national police have not been revealed yet this is another example of how the revolutionary guard have exerted their power and strength and willingness to carry out the security and safety of the waterways around iran this is the 3rd vessel that they have seized in the past month earlier on sunday the government spokesperson ali rai spoke about the latest sanctions on the mohammad javad zarif that have been imposed by the u.s. government and the invitation that was extended to the foreign minister while he was visiting new york at the united nations earlier this month let's hear what he had to say. because 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 keeps claiming
8:11 pm
to be ready for negotiations and then to put sanctions on a foreign minister of that country well isn't that ridiculous he was invited by a senator to have a meeting at the white house then they impose sanctions on him foreign minister zarif is responsible for foreign policy and the diplomatic path should pass through him. the feeling here is that the sanctions that have been imposed on the foreign minister are another example of how the united states doesn't really understand the power structure in iran the excuse that was given for the sanction was that the foreign minister is not a person that they want to negotiate with and they were looking for someone higher up now the officials here have said that if they think the u.s. government is going to negotiate with anybody else other than the foreign minister who is tasked with hold the negotiations with western powers they're very much mistaken the position here is that the foreign minister is not going to hold any kind of talks with u.s. officials until the united states lifts its sanctions on iran which they've imposed
8:12 pm
since they withdrew from the nuclear deal last year the ukrainian say that the u.s. government has waged economic terrorism on iran and until they seize this behavior they will be no discussions how between the 2 countries but just as making their way through hong kong after police used tear gas to clear them from a different part of the city it's the full straight day of demonstrations that binoche is in both central hong kong and in the outlying suburbs activists are angry over a proposed tax additional the police response to the protests are serious and to turn us is that. the protest this time to accentuate change rather than choosing one target and surrounding that like a police station on sunday could be could simply moving around oh ok i'm going to get out of the getting this question but they were heading. in the face but when they got there and found lots of right place they need to be going to the
8:13 pm
