3:01 am
it a mega fire several australian bushfires are so big authorities say they now cannot be contained. 4 people have been killed in pensacola florida after a gunman opened fire on a naval base inside a classroom the gunman is among the dead u.s. officials say the suspect is a saudi national who was in the country for training at least 8 others were injured at the naval air station in pensacola florida military officials say the suspect was unhappy with commanders and was receiving counseling u.s. president donald trump says he's been contacted by the saudi leader who has condemned the shooting. thinking he said that the saudi people are greatly angered by the blood work actions of the shooter and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the saudi people who love the american people. so
3:02 am
much so what there was just given to me by the king of saudi arabia and i can tell you it's a horrible thing that took place and we're getting to the bottom of it all of the investigators are there now and they're studying it very closely. mike hanna is in washington d.c. with more on the political reaction 3. the governor was very quickly on the scene expressed deep concern at the situation and deep tragedy at the situation as well he pointed out that the pentagon been able pot is an integral part of that community and the attack on the base would have a massive impact on the 10s of thousands that live in neighborhoods surrounding the particular base he also raised the question of the saudi national being the gunman and the cost whether it's possible that reparations might have to be made by the saudi state there's obviously going to be a lot of questions about you know this individual being a foreign national being a part of the saudi air force and then to be here training on our soil that to do
3:03 am
this in the f.b.i. is working with d o d they're working with the f.b.o. either working with the skimpier county sheriffs one of the things that i talk to the president about is given that this was a foreign national in the employ of a foreign service is you know be time to do this but obviously the government of saudi arabia needs to to make make things better for these victims and i think that they they're going to owe a debt here given that this is one of their individuals the f.b.i. are now investigating exactly what the motive is there have been reports that the officer concerned was receiving counseling that he was dissatisfied with this imperial offices but what the f.b.i. points out as well is that all of those cadets who are taken in training on this particular case particularly the foreign nationals bettered by several federal agencies within the u.s. and one of the questions being asked is how did this particular individual be able to get through the vetting process the other question being lost and find this to
3:04 am
gauge this is how did he get a handgun weapons are banned at this particular base particularly among the students so certainly there are many questions that the investigators are looking at but principal among them is to remove any possibility that this was indeed a terror attack investigators will not comment on a motive at this particular point but this is one of the issues that they will be looking at in the days ahead. well aslam if the cause a senior fellow at georgetown university he doubts the incident will affect us saudi relations to be honest getting that it's going to have very little diplomatic pact between the united states and saudi arabia i mean it's not trump's very hate relationship with kings of leon and crown prince among better known as m.p.'s i think the bigger impact is going to be on. islamophobia here in the united states you're already seeing many right wing conservative republican lawmakers both in
3:05 am
florida and nationwide disconnected terrorism when we see these sorts of same mass shootings happening out of nearly according to the gun violence are referred this year there's actually been more mass shootings in the united states and there have been days there's been 380 matches and 330 days just yesterday a day before the whole if you really do with a mouse you're doing improv harbor you know or a. muslim that was not there it's my concern more so there it is with you know being used as a political football by many right wing conservative politicians that it is obvious that all medically to baghdad now where a gunman has killed at least 10 people in iraq's capital the shooting happened near a protest site in kalani square in central baghdad it comes on a day when iraq's top share cleric called for a new prime minister to be chosen without foreign interference and the u.s. imposed sanctions on for iraqis of human rights abuses and corruption the sanctions
3:06 am
target people linked with iranian backed militia groups some of the fulton's in baghdad says the incident is an unusual escalation in the violence. it seems to have been a targeted attack what appears to have happened is that a number of cars civilian cars with gunman wearing civilian clothing and without any insignia pulled up to one of the buildings near one of the bridges close to tahrir square which has been the epicenter of the demonstrations in baghdad and then opened fire killing at least 10 but we're also getting reports of up to 15 protesters may have been killed during that attack with dozens injured so it's possible that the number of that will rise in the coming hours because we're hearing that a lot of people were severely injured these gunmen then moved on to burn some of the tension mattresses that were inside that building which protesters had used to camp out and then the violence moved in direction of tahrir square now one security
3:07 am
source is telling us that iranian backed armed groups may be behind this attack but this is just one truth and we cannot confirm this account what is certain however is it is an unusual escalation the violence we have seen so far has been as a result of anti-riot police firing either tear gas canisters or using live ammunition against the monsters we haven't had this sort of attack of unknown gunmen opening fire to clearly target demonstrators in such a fashion now we're also hearing that 3 members of the law which is an armed group led by shared. have been killed while trying to protect their most traders this is according to the media office of milk that makes that a starter so this is an interesting development where you have one armed group trying to protect the demonstrators while they have another one attacking them and all of this comes at a time when a lot of demonstrators fear infiltration by different groups with different agendas trying to basically hijack these protests to pursue their own objectives so the
3:08 am
situation remains very tense when we do hear that the violence has subsided over the past hour there is still some sounds of gunshots coming from the direction of tahrir square but the situation seems to have the escalated a little bit over the past hour. finalist bodies a former iraqi diplomat he says iran is interested in political change in iraq but has a sudden issues to deal with this seems to be a significant escalation not because it's the worst single day of violence by the clause in part it comes on the same day that the grand ayatollah law has to stand he issued his statement today about peaceable demonstrators and the obligation of the security forces to protect a peaceable demonstrators as well as telling the demonstrators that they must remain peaceful and it looks like it's an effort by at least some in the political boss to disperse the demonstrations of that they can make some post medic changes
3:09 am
and keep doing business as usual that's my fear feisal some sources suggest there are verizon groups backed by iran who have their own agendas i mean if it's true why would they want to hijack the protest movement do you think iranians remember had their own protests themselves they can't be looking at these demonstrations with any degree you know of saying going into. the. sectarian dispensation in iraq with those 2003 settlements iran 2 with t. that is precisely what these demonstrators are rejecting. and i think iran has a real interest and thence in intruding that genuine political reform does not come to iran. indian police have shot dead 4 men suspected of raping and killing a 27 year old woman in the southern state of telangana but he said they were killed
3:10 am
when they tried to escape while many in india have welcomed the controversial killings activists describe the incident as a dangerous precedent. was flowers and messages to congratulate them it's the kind of welcome police in india rarely receive but in hyderabad police are being praised for shooting 4 men accused of gang raping and murdering a 27 year old veterinarian dr last week police commanders say the accused were taken to the alleged crime scene to answer questions but try to escape one of the suspects is said to have snatched a policeman's gone and opened fire. officers may be interesting. but we don't know the country fire and. so on there are you know. i listen to their families and the board i just want. the family of the murdered

woman says justice has been delivered now he may have to and i think this will be an example and no one even think of doing it. protests were organized in several cities across the country to seek justice. some parliamentarians have been speaking out one called for the lynching of rapists another advocated castration ideas with some with tim's support. china was $23.00 when a man whose marriage proposal she had refused threw acid on her she supports the police's action and also demanded that all the culprits be hanged. when rapists get the death penalty then we will stop protesting rapists should be hanged. however some crime experts say capital punishment is not an effective deterrent the killing of the 4 accuser. by many here who continue to be frustrated at length the delays in the justice system but several lawyers and women's rights activists say that
3:12 am
justice must be delivered only by following proper legal procedures and they say that the stigma attached to rape victims that gives offend as much leave it is the real problem. activists say the government must address the wider problem of prejudice against women in a mostly male dominated society the same persons who are asking for the sky and of . custodial killings and lynch lynchings and so on are actually the ones who are both starting up well perpetrating but and but but but you're acting but stewards women. the gang rape of a woman on a bus who later died of her injuries provoked massive protests and international outrage 7 years ago india's government responded by possible penalties. but experts say conviction rates haven't risen and others think improved policing a fast track justice system and attitude changes in society are all needed to

3:21 am
about 900 to just over 1100 people so what that means is that this smoke is having an effect and it just reinforces the need for people particularly those with existing heart and lung conditions to take the conditions seriously and do what they can to avoid exposure france's government says it's sticking to its plans for pension reforms despite a nationwide strike that's brought $1000000.00 people onto the streets prime minister edward philippe insisted changes be gradual and not brutal it's the biggest strike in 20 years on friday petrol stations remained empty and schools shut for a 2nd day the roads propped up with traffic. but. i'm outside one of the main train stations in paris is the needle busier than it was yesterday when all those train services were cut there are some trains running about a 3rd of railway workers are actually at work today you can probably see behind me a poster now that's telling you about some of the metro services because several of
3:22 am
the metro lines of also being so getting around in paris is very difficult indeed and you are seeing people on their bicycles and scooters is pouring with rain and that's making it a lot harder as well some schools also shot next week there looks as if we might have another day like we had on thursday because the trade unions have called for a nationwide strike next to say they're hoping to mobilize people like they did on thursday to go into the streets against the government's pension reform plans now the fear is for lots of people not just rail workers of course the transport workers but across all sections of french society teaches. health workers they're really worried. government's plans will mean that they'll have smaller pensions less payouts are also worried that they'll have to work for a lot longer and they say that they're going to continue with this sort of industrial action until their demands are met the government was trying to push through this they all responded you might say in a way to this social movement because they were supposed to reveal the details of
3:23 am
the plan. next week it looks like they'll probably reveal the details of what's actually in this pension reform in the middle of next week. the leaders of the u.k.'s 2 main parties have gone head to head in their final t.v. debate before next week's election but briggs it being one of the main issues to feature the campaign prime minister barnes johnson and opposition leader jeremy call been repeatedly. on the subject we cannot go on forever we represent the 48 or 52 i want to lead a government. represents the whole country and the whole community so we will within 3 months negotiate a live agreement with the european union that will protect trade and jobs and the peace process in northern ireland and put that alongside remain in a referendum within 6 months what we can do with the deal that we have is get it done by january the 31st you come out and then it to get to the question about the
3:24 am
advantages we can do such things as improve our standards for animal welfare ban the live export of animals we can cut the 80 on tampons we can do things to create free ports around the country there are all sorts of ways in which we can regulate differently better the white house says it will not participate in impeachment hearings next week a letter from the white house counsel as criticize inquiry calling it baseless president trump faced a friday deadline to notify the house committee if he intended to send a representative to face questions on monday the house speaker nancy pelosi ordered articles of impeachment against the president on thursday. petroleum exporting countries in the greater cuts oil output the idea is that less supply to the market will stabilize prices but raising prices may not be that simple. as this report now from vienna for the world oil markets move on decisions made by ministers at the headquarters of opec for the last 3 years saudi arabia has led opec nations in
3:25 am
reducing oil output by one point $2000000.00 barrels a day that was supposed to keep the demand supply ratio in check and keep oil prices between $50.00 to $65.00 per barrel saudi arabia has announced additional cuts beyond its opec quota but with oversupply from nano pick sources further cuts might be easier said than done you know there are quite a few moments. each way. including economic growth including issue is countries like russia also play an important role being part of a wider opec plus group but getting all they wanted one analyst told al-jazeera christmas came early for the russian delegation. we have come to the conclusion that splitting crude oil and condensate is more transparent and basically does not lead to any changes in the quota russia's quota before today's agreement is put in $228.00 barrels
3:26 am
a day with all without condoms so there are no changes to the question. production cuts are also meant to keep prices low enough so that u.s. shale oil producers can't make large profits which has helped the u.s. in becoming the world's leading oil producer cuts in the oil output of iran and venezuela because of u.s. sanctions meant it was relatively easier for opec to reduce production in $21000.00 going forward might not be that easy option a is watch oil prices collapse nobody wants to see that again option b. is to again do the difficult work into the market credible production cuts and that's the challenge for them here today is to make credible not just paper but credible production cuts. the bigger question is how will they get non-compliant nations to abide by the cuts countries need higher oil prices and also the ability to sell the volume of oil required to support their budgets not paradoxes meant oil producers such as iraq agreed to output cuts but in reality that doesn't always
3:27 am
happen in the car if you will hand over $250000.00 per day to a storm or a market thing you get will market that oil and therefore iraq and the minister of oil will be in a position i'm in a much better position for a company like us. when opec was formed it was all about oil growth but with opec producers coming into the market bridging the demand supply gap the cartel influence has dwindled and with a sharper focus on renewables as well as decreasing oil demand in the current global economy oil does not seem to have a guaranteed future summer job without a 0 at the opec headquarters yet. greece has given libya's ambassador 72 hours to leave the country it's the latest escalation of a dispute over a controversial maritime border deal turkey and there have signed an agreement that maps out a sea boundary between them in the eastern mediterranean close to the greek island
