have identified the man responsible for a mass shooting in odessa texas that killed 7 people on saturday the 36 year old hijacked a mail truck and opened fire at passers by after being stopped by police for failing to signal a left turn he was a benchley shot dead by police investigators say they haven't found any links to terrorist organizations this is the 2nd major shooting in texas and less than a month yes president donald trump has again dismissed the role of background checks and helping reduce gun violence. so when looking at a lot of different things we look at a lot of different. ideas concepts that are going to grow over our background check i will say that for the most part sadly if you look at the last 4 or 5 going back. 5 or 6 or 7 years for the most part as strong as you make your background objects they would not have stopped any of. you know a big problem it's

12:14 pm
thriving but the government is going to have to be able to sustain that growth and balance political stability this is a one party state and as the country gets richer it's going to find more and more people wanting representation that's going to be dissent and criticism how is the country going to handle that then there's also the issue of geopolitics where china has states. claiming the south china sea and is becoming increasingly aggressive in asserting that claim how is vietnam going to stand up to china which is not just at the story but also a very important trading partner so these are values that the values of patriotism of resilience these are values that the communist party of vietnam may want to draw on as the country forward. annoy force florence thank you. and an asian police province have been seen shooting at protesters who appeared to have their hands over their heads the video was shot last week but has only now

12:24 pm
afghanistan were it seems intent on getting hold of their 1st major trophy. all day you would love to play this game so there is no cause after. you have a talented teams and not only the national side we were all very good games as well i in the history about downforce you know this is the 1st time that i want to stand. there the country 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 match went down to the last ball armand's batsman needed just
12:25 pm
a single run to tie the school's. was the was no at this point it appeared the afghan scene had warned. 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 for the match was declared a toy i'm on an afghanistan with joint champions. which. was not a citizen and i got his gun order in the credit of the doubt it going to mess out our very happy and this is that as a proud as they are by my life. the trophy may not have stayed around for long but afghanistan's cricket team had a right. that was
12:26 pm

12:27 pm
now the only thing they want us to rein. 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 an international match in their own country but for the origins of this saying you have to go back to another war the serviette afghan war of the 1970 s. and eighty's. in 1979 the servia tommy think afghanistan.
12:28 pm
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 average passion in pakistan. that game was cricket. these days rice armont see. a key members of the afghanistan cricket same both were brought up in refugee camps near the shoah in pakistan's northwest frontier province that earliest cricket's in memories seeing t.v. pictures of the 9092 world cup a tournament that was won by pakistan. i was in the bad
12:29 pm
a bear refugee camp when we 1st went there we used to play. again 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 that charming tavern i was in the refugee camp and. in pakistan when the 1902 world cup was in the in the park lost in that time. or everyone was happy the teacher was deliberately shot that all pakistan in the world cup you see that's what's what's what's what of course slowly slowly will start cricket 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
12:30 pm
mentoring this squad of players 92 world cups and the discussion all 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 afghanistan when we has been at war for the last 30 years now they have seen nothing but war and then moving from the grandest on 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
12:31 pm
they want to do is to win a. few players better embody 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 how made to start taking cricket seriously. he came to our home in leases to my dad let them go home me to play for afghanistan and he says no i can't 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. i. first time i went to run in 2003 to kabul and i play cricket in 1st game i took 4 week it's. also had some success
12:32 pm
in the matter and everybody says who's this guy and where he came from. this is the ground where hamid 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 too 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. read the only thing they knew was to carry guns and fight now instead of guns they killing cricket bats.
12:33 pm
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 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 backing of the international and asian cricket councils the team were entered into division 5 of the world cricket league the lowest tier of the international.
