as the arguments of the numbers of religion grow a protracted legal battle faeces nearly 2000000 people a defeat as indians the isle to 0 quality. returning to our breaking news story this hour reports of a shooting under way in the u.s. state of texas and evolving 2 gunmen police say that been multiple gunshot victims more now from heidi joe castro in washington id is this still a life situation obviously police will be trying to apprehend the gunman but are they still at large. apparently from these preliminary reports miriam at least one of the gunman is at large the middle and police department warning the public in that west texas city to remain very vigilant and to stay off the roads also in the nearby city of odessa and the information we have is very preliminary in fact
7:03 am
are expecting the 1st official government briefing about the situation shortly but what the new york times is reporting is that according to the mayor of middle and there are 2 people who have been killed and at least 20 who have been injured now apparently what has happened is that these people were targeted at random according to police officers they were motorists on the road on the freeway connecting these 2 very nearby cities and the police said that one suspect is in custody that there may be a 2nd according to the mayor perhaps even a 3rd who is still at large and they're saying that one of these at large suspects is driving a stolen mail van that may have been picked up in the parking lot of a large hardware store in the area now what is very startling about this of course not only is it the latest mass shooting in the united states but this is only 4 weeks since 22 people were gunned down and murdered inside another texas city the
7:04 am
city of el paso where a gunman entered a wal-mart shopping store there and targeting hispanics killed 22 people and the irony is even greater when we consider that tomorrow september 1st is the day when the state of texas it happens to take effect at least 8 new pro gun laws that will expand access to guns in that state including allowing people to carry and hide weapons in school parking lots and to enter houses of worship why. armed so though now it is very preliminary and it is maybe too soon to be talking about what these next steps may be about gun control etc that always follows each of these mass shootings in the united states certainly the shadow of 4 weeks ago what the tragedy that happened el paso and the prospect of these new pro gun laws taking effect
7:05 am
tomorrow in this very state are certainly on top of people's minds mary and indeed it's a familiar story in the u.s. isn't it you mentioned the shooting the mass shooting in el paso texas and of course that was around the same time another shooting in ohio in which 9 people were killed and we often see these calls for congress to take action to try to reduce gun violence and that often comes to nothing. that's right and in fact right now congress is still in their home districts that it's no longer in session there was a big push to try to get some sort of meaningful gun legislation passed prior to the august recess democrats in the house of representatives and fact passed such a law to expand background checks the senate controlled by republicans would not take up that bill and as we've waited for this recess to come to completion when
7:06 am
congress returns later in september the question is whether the momentum from those 2 previous mass shootings un you you mentioned the one in ohio and the one in el paso was going to move forward that legislation well now we know that in the interim yet another of these mass shootings is occurring as we speak that's right castro in washington thank you very much and just to recap on this story now. our breaking news story coming to us from texas from the city of adesa where there has been another the shooting involving 2 gunman. in one case a vehicle was hijacked in another case possibly the location of that shooting was around a store but we all waiting for more information and confirmation from the police there has been a statement to say that some 20 people have been shot awaiting details on injuries and fatalities the police have said that all multiple gunshot victims this is still

7:09 am
a direct hit on florida but the governor is warning against complacency if it bombs further east that obviously is positive if it bumps just a little west then you're looking at really really significant impacts and so don't make any assumptions remain vigilant and be prepared the key phrase now is a cone of uncertainty which places florida georgia and the carolinas in the potential path of hurricane dorian forecasters and residents are watching closely this remains a powerful storm with an unpredictable half and people are preparing for the worst and hoping that dorian skirts the east coast sparing millions from what's being described as a monster storm the states in the potential path of dorian have been hit many times before all remain vigilant all are prepared now it's a case of watching a slowly moving storm that seems to be only getting stronger as it tracks through

7:11 am
labor party and senior labor figures have said it's clear what boris johnson's really base what is insured by the mechanism that easy this time the dates that he's chosen is that it is almost impossible almost impossible to get legislation which would bind the government into asking for an extension but you ask why i don't trust and the reason i don't trust this man is because just recently he lied about whether he wanted to probe parliament he said he didn't believe in such procedures and he lied about and the $350000000000.00 pounds that would be coming to the n.h.s. as a result of leaving the e.u. complete nonsense accepted now that it was just a lie and this is a man who is a serial liar and we cannot trust our democracy to know the action is not just on the streets there are a number of legal challenges going on it england and scotland under northern
7:12 am
ireland that due to wrap up next week and in parliament itself and hayes who are really worried about a no deal price set by trying to figure out their best tactics in the 1st instance they've agreed to try legislation to force the government perhaps to seek an extension to article 50 beyond the end of october but it still might come to a vote of no confidence in the government a number of conservative politicians side will vote against their own government but it's unclear whether they will at the moment have the numbers and that's why so many people here are extremely angry about what the government's doing right now. people have defied authorities by joining protest marches in russia's capital moscow demonstrating against the exclusion of some candidates from local elections next month opposition politicians have requested formal permission for saturday's march but would turn down the protests to the largest show of public dissent for more than 5 years and thousands have been arrested since demonstrations began in

july step valsin has more now from moscow. free for if that's what they're shouting it's quite a remark right here in moscow they go from a sort of probably not going to fight for our party has. no not me but this course you'll have to put this strange logic into our own minds that we need freely in our seat in that they can refuse to give permission to our events by law we only need to notify them about a rally and not to ask for their permission the fact that there were no provocations from the government should be normal people from all walks of life but especially also young people of 20 year old student has a couple of weeks already for what the police describe the rioting and a lot of people said it was just peacefully protesting and you are calling on people to join the protests on the you tube channel and that's also one of the reasons people are here not only to us to be to release but also for their rights to be able to speak out the anyone who wanted to smoke they're not listening even
7:14 am
though i work for the state as a teacher i can't stay silent they pressurize they don't just speak out i can't keep scientists and i keep seeing people being arrested you cannot think that they violate our constitutional rights by fabricating articles. when the boom in them speeds up the police stood back for a while and that thousands of people protest during this uncensored rally half an hour right and a half of minded people to be dislocation and they're about to pull everyone in. greece has announced plans to transfer refugees on its islands to the mainland and speed up the deportation process for failed. asylum seekers the new measures are part of efforts to deal with the recent resurgence in migrant flows from turkey on thursday 13 boats carrying more than 540 people arrived on lesbos 32 all those were rescued at sea and brought to the island the increase in arrivals is added pressure on the country's already overcrowded island camps. on sunday voters in the state of

7:16 am
must 1st be in prison it one thing is clear integration means you adapt to the country it does not mean the country adapts to you. the f.t.'s closest rival is the governing social democrat party whose vote share has been shrinking for years when silent. in our state needs reliability cohesion and strong leadership i stand for that let's stand together to make sure our land stays in good hands in the future and polls show the race in brandenburg is very close perhaps nowhere more so than here sure and i say by barely a little commuter town of over 12000 people in may's european elections the top 5 parties were separated by less than 2 percent of the votes. which explains why national party leaders have come to press the flash the green party's annalyn a bell book being the latest to push for votes. democracy survives on people
7:17 am
talking to one another they argue and think wait maybe the other person is after right and they say yes when energy is great length earned about the health consequences i would like to believe people go home and think about how we can address these problems together. and then there is the left party whose political ancestors ran the old communist east germany and you've governed here with the social democrats for the past 10 years they hope their call for solidarity will energize the electorate and for them like all the other parties the key to winning this state lies in winning places like this dominant cain al-jazeera in brandenburg . just a quick look at the top stories this hour police in the u.s. state of texas are dealing with major shooting incidents in the cities of adesa and

how the story has moved on since. i can $979.00 the world woke up to news that the russian army had swept across the border into afghanistan in an attempt to prop up the communist government there it followed 18 months of civil unrest after the people's democratic party seized power in $178.00 however the p.d.p. is radical plans including land reforms and equality of the sexes as well as modernizing traditional islamic civil and marriage laws that all spawned the guerrilla resistance movement known as the mujahedeen what followed was a decade of bloody civil war with pakistan in the united states covertly supporting the islamic rebels against russian backed government forces it was the beginning of 4 decades of violence and unrest for that troubled country back in 2009 al-jazeera sports presenter and the richards and discovered that the turbulence of those early years have had a surprising side effect here is proud to be an afghan. co weight
7:23 am
isn't the most obvious of places for any cricketing story to begin but it was here in 2007 that afghanistan won their 1st ever continental trophy and they're back here again in 2010 playing in another asian cricket council event now 3 years ago 2028 was just starting to take hold of the cricketing world and we'd heard reports that one emerging team in particular was pretty good at it that team of course was afghanistan. this was the moment back in 2007 when afghanistan thought they'd become asia's inaugural 2020 champions was was in fact the chaos was just beginning the match was about to controversially be declared high 6 6 6. thankfully for all concerned the bulk of the event had passed off in somewhat calmer 1st.
7:24 am
afghanistan thought were it seems intent on getting hold of their 1st major trophy . all the units that are left to play this game so that the cause after we have a talented teams are not only the national side we have already boarded the games as well i. in the history of our downforce you know this is the 1st line that i want to stand. in the meeting the other countries was. they were already learning how to celebrate this was the low key manner in which afghanistan marks the semifinal victory against the united arab emirates. the final was against oman and established force in asian cricket and it seemed every afghan living in kuwait was in attendance the much went down to the last ball amounts batsman needed just
7:25 am
a single run to tie the schools i was . i was. now at this point it appeared the afghan scene had worn. that but on the sidelines some official forehead wrinkling had begun suddenly the results was in doubts and yet after a little more arithmetic and full of talking the match was declared a toy a moan and afghanistan with joint champions. should be. thrown out of the president are going to the no one in the grid that out is going to miss out are very happy and this is that is about as they are by my life. the trophy may not have stayed around for long but afghanistan's cricket seeing how to write. that will change you know what i think it.
7:26 am
lot of support from the people i think there was 14000 people asking to watch the match or that was not ours that was so from that standard and poor's one thing that we knew we should need to win the straw moment and we didn't get any traffic before that when we get back to kabul afghanistan a lot of people come to our hotel and to this hearing that appears in this elaborate enough to that. people just love to play cricket in wars to think of. them and that victory changed cricket in our country before that everyone said to us you're wasting your time the government won't support you guys people don't know about cricket there's no reason for you guys to play but when we won that tournament it changed people's minds people saw that something good can come from cricket and lucky that was a real turning point for them because that gives them a lot of confidence that they can beat any team in asia that has inspired them and
7:27 am
now the only thing they want to stew rain not being number 2. is fantastic. the history of cricket in afghanistan is also a history of occupation and conflict the 1st recorded match in the country was between british soldiers back in the 19th century and the ongoing conflict means this side as yet supply and international match in their own country but for the origins if this thing you have to go back to another war the soviet afghan war of the 1970 s. and eighty's. in 1979 the serviette army in thinking afghanistan.
7:28 am
hundreds of thousands of afghans sought refuge in neighboring pakistan. in the years that followed more than 3000000 afghans were forced over the border and into refugee camps. it was here that a generation of young afghans found themselves playing and watching a new game that was already a longest operation passion in pakistan. that game was cricket. these days rice armont see. are key members of the afghanistan cricket same both were brought up in refugee camps near the shower in pakistan's northwest frontier province that earliest cricketing memories seeing t.v. pictures of the 992 world cup a tournament that was won by pakistan. i was in the bad
7:29 am
a bear refugee camp when we 1st went there we used to play a game that's like baseball but then came the 992 world cup and suddenly cricket was everywhere everyone was talking about it we all started playing and i became good very quickly i was in school in the oven i was in the refugee camp and. in pakistan when the 1902 world cup i was in the in the park lost in that time. for everyone was happy the teacher was deliberately sure that all pakistan in the world could do is say that's what's what's what's what of course slowly slowly will start to reckon with a tennis ball or maybe 5 or 6 years we played without shoes or without anything. cricket and then the 50 or 45 syndicate he. swore that was small and big bow sikandar was part of the pakistan saying that $192.00 world cup he's now the asian cricket council's man in afghanistan overseeing the games development and
7:30 am
mentoring this squad of players 92 world cups and the discussion or race because that was a great inspiration you know from a captain who led from the front a team that responded so positively i was very fortunate to be part of the team that came back from no way to become the world champion in afghanistan when we has been at war for the last 30 years now they have seen nothing but war and then moving from the grandstand to pakistan living in the refugee camps have made them really really tough and that is the toughness that is. very evident in the matches that they're playing they don't care about the bouncy beaches they don't care about turning pitches you know if it's a bad pitch or bad conditions they don't care about that the only thing they know
7:31 am
and they want to do is do a. few players better in body that spirit than hamid hassan that seems fastest bowler he also led his cricket in a refugee camp he remembers the day a fellow player at sensitive convince his father it was time for the young cam made to start taking cricket seriously. and he came to our home apparently says to my dad let them go home we need to play . and he says no i can let them go because he i want to make him a teacher like a doctor like ingenius or he don't want to play cricket and i said to my dad i love to play cricket. first time i want to run in 2000 through to travel in a play cricket in 1st game i took for wickets. and also had some success in the
7:32 am
matter. everybody says who is this guy and where he came from. this is the ground where he made 1st played in kabul right now it's the only dress pitch in afghanistan but more are planned and it seems shared ambition is to one day play an international match in their home country if you played. against pakistan or against bangladesh or against any 4 full member countries if he if he were to i don't if he certainly people i'm sure 100000 people will be come to watch the match cricket was yes played there but in a very small way now it's the number one game in afghanistan and. that is taking them away from the streets. where the only thing they knew was to carry guns and fight now instead of guns they killing cricket bats.
7:33 am
this team has now carried their bats around the world. in cricket the name afghanistan is associated only with success and progress. but no one could have guessed just how good this side was about. afghanistan's cricket team was formally recognized by the sports world governing body in 2001 at the time they had no world ranking and no home ground but they did have was a supremely talented generation of players and so began one of the most unlikely journeys in sporting history. the european channel island of jersey was afghanistan's next stop with the financial back.
