their rabid gold cup a 49 year wages over. the head of the f.b.i. inquiry into a shooting at a u.s. naval base in florida says they're working on the presumption the attack was an act of terrorism saudi national mohammed saeed. shot dead 3 students on friday when he was a junior officer in the saudi air force he was in the u.s. the training our main goal right now is to confirm whether he acted alone or was he part of a larger network we currently assess there was one gunman who perpetrated this attack and no arrests have been made in this case. there have been many reports that the f.b.i.

is searching for or unable to find certain individuals well he opened fire in a classroom using a gun which was bought legally in the u.s. and many politicians are now calling for an end to the military training program involving saudis they also want tighter security on u.s. bases ronnie had reportedly posted a manifesto on twitter before the attack calling america a nation of evil well its florida's governor says the u.s. needs to be on god for people coming from saudi arabia and major social media trail this guy was somebody who you know just had a deep seated hatred for the united states and and that was that was pretty clear from from that and obviously the fact that he would do something like this and so you know my my view is is that. you know for us to be bringing in these foreign nationals you have to take precautions to protect the country might come out has

more now from washington d.c. . the f.b.i. says it's acting on the presumption that this is an act of terror pointing out that this is a normal protocol in all active shooter situations a spokesman for the f.b.i. has said that the investigation is continuing and no clear motive has yet been established nor has it feed the staff lish whether or not to the gunman was operating alone or in concert with others there are 10 saudi nationals who will on that aviation course at the base they are being held at the base while questioning continues they are under the command of a saudi officer who's also at that particular base the f.b.i. says that there has been complete cooperation from these other saudi nationals and also that there's been complete cooperation from saudi authorities in riyadh another point confirmed by the f.b.i. is that this is one off and you saudi nationals at the base did pull the events

that were happening in the classroom when the gunman opened fire the motive for holding this still not clear so many questions unanswered the f.b.i. says this investigation will continue and it won't release that many details until it's certain that it's accurate general mark kimmitt is a former assistant secretary of state under president george w. bush he says despite concerns the training program is too valuable to abandon. the entire system should be inspected top to bottom there's no doubt about that but this is a process that a decade a decade ago when i was doing this i know that it was very scrupulous very detailed and it was detail on the part of not only the local country but also the united states before they would come over i don't think we should throw the baby out of the bathwater as i said this program is important we have 10000 students coming

over a year it allows us to conduct interoperability training and allows us to promote our interests and our values and it has proven itself for years and years that this is an important program in our bilateral relationships with the other militaries but it's not perfect and it needs to be looked at here. in hong kong the strike has been cold to mock 6 months since the start of government protests on sunday 800000 people turned out for a mass rally to demand protection for their democratic freedoms in the polish votes . the fight for freedom one of the many slogans chanted by the hundreds of thousands who gave up their sunday for yet another protest was they came from all walks of life young and old and in all shapes and sizes the march was meant to coincide with the united nations human rights day on call is no longer free so. the fall is

thousands of people in ukraine a rally the against a planned meeting between their president and the russian leader in paris on monday the talks are aimed at finding a breakthrough to end the war in eastern ukraine the conflict between kiev and russian backed separatists has killed more than 14000 people in 5 years that last has more from moscow. the river you know this is the ukraine capital kiev just one day before the paris meeting and it shows the pressure president followed emirs alinsky is facing while many ukrainians wonder an end to what is described as europe's forgotten war these protesters accuse him of surrendering to russian president vladimir putin. zelinsky was elected in may on his promise to end the war that began in 2014 when russian backed separatists occupied cities from the stuff you crane. it's not only cost thousands of lives. but also destroyed large parts of the country taking a huge toll on the economy. in 2016 peace talks stalled

with both ukraine and russia accusing each other of fire agreements but after becoming presidents alinsky broke the stalemate is agreed to have elections in russian backed territories and allowing them a special status both nations exchange prisoners and some troops were withdrawn all conditions are in place for a return to the negotiating table but expectations for a major breakthrough are low yeah only they need cease fire violations and there's little trust between the 2 flights but palace say the fact that the talks are happening since yes but it's looking for a positive outcome. and that's perhaps because another part of ukraine is not up for negotiations in paris crimea which was annexed by russia 5 years ago. we took crimea and the worst will just accept this. because they're interested to

go back to business as usual. i mean out of the normal to talk for putin is the fact that he's welcome again in europe's power circles this is exactly what these protesters in kiev fear most that european leaders are tired of the whore and sanctions against russia could force alinsky to accept a manger compromise to screen for example in the timing of the elections in the territories at the center of the conflict selenski insists they can only be health after the troops have pulled out but russia does not agree that facet of al-jazeera moscow. time for a short break here not as iraq when we come back the. protesting through song south take aim at columbia's government. and the 1st case of polio in malaysia in more than 25 years what it means for global eradication is more.

seem wonderful team al-jazeera nasa the. taliban and u.s. negotiators ever assumed talks aimed at ending the war in afghanistan president donald trump halted those meetings in september following the killing of a u.s. soldier now he's hoping for a solution before the 2020 presidential election anybody has more now from kabul. when president trump abruptly canceled the talks of the taliban in september he said it was because of the killing of a u.s. soldier he said the talks were dead but many believe it was because it was felt the u.s. was giving away too much or too little but with the resumption of talks in doha observers say they are starting where they left off with no change one thing is for sure the u.s. led coalition the united states of america is very keen to put and to disprove that was started long back there had 9 rounds of talks in 2018 in

2019 and perhaps this is the time where it needs to be done and dusted the afghan government has been sidelined from the previous year long dialogue because the taliban refuses direct talks but president ash afghani's government bolstered by a series of military successes is quietly optimistic that now the talks will lead to a place at the negotiating table few months ago. was an defense position . and the fence of position when. we took the money district from taliban we are doing much better in the hay with that is too important and one ceasefire. one of. both of these demands have been rejected by the taliban in the past but president trump talked optimistically about a cease fire during a visit to u.s. troops in afghanistan in november where he also met the afghan president ashraf

ghani taliban wants to make a deal and we're meeting with them and we're saying it has to be a ceasefire and they want to do is use it now they do want to do a ceasefire i believe would probably work. but so far the taliban has not responded to that claim the afghan army with u.s. air support has been taking territory recently but the taliban still controls more than 50 percent of the country it's unlikely the taliban will agree to a ceasefire before there's a definitive signed agreement for a u.s. troop withdraw it's still in a strong position and a cease fire is a valuable bargaining chip it won't give away easily afghanistan has been in political deadlock since his presidential elections 3 months ago the results are still not been released because of allegations of widespread vote rigging and fraud that is unlikely to help the peace process the taliban has said the war is now about time and money it has the time president trump is keen to reduce the financial burden and bring the troops home and he wants that done before next

year's presidential election for such a complicated issue that may be an overly ambitious time frame tony berkeley al-jazeera kabul. some columbia's biggest artists have taken part in a concert in support of the recent anti-government protests demonstrators are angry at president plans for economic reform and want him to do more to tackle corruption and police violence the protests began almost 3 weeks ago. he has more now from. another massive day of demonstrations here in the colombian capital. and this is coming 20 days after the beginning of an oppressive then national. like this time in the form of a travelling concert with 44 different artists from colombia supporting the strike with their music treat their friend fix stages and also a travel travelling truck tens of thousands of people were out on the streets

despite the rain in the afternoon to put more pressure on the government of president. we've also seen groups feminist performing the anti rapists and tim rapists in your way that became famous said during the protests in chief and it's also being repeated here that's also one of the many points that the people who are out on the streets once you see changing in their country this spites all this negotiations have not progressed between the government and the league there's a this strike and the government there is pushing forward to with a number of reforms that the protesters want to see changed but the people say that despite the many days and the complication that these protests have brought to many in colombia they want to continue and the polls now say that 74 percent of

colombian support this strike which means things are becoming increasingly complicated for president even duke and his government. a 3 month old baby boy in malaysia has been diagnosed with polio an incurable disease that can cause paralysis is the 1st case reported the since 1992 the country was declared pony free in 2000 but vaccination rates in some areas dropped below 95 percent that's allowed the disease to reemerge. it comes months out of the philippines report its 1st posted case in 26 years the spot these sent not to the global effort to eradicate polio is through that's a nation has been highly effective infections of drop by 99.9 percent since the program began in 1008. 100 lawson is the director of the vaccine confidence project she says even small pockets of vaccinated populations can cause the disease to

spread widely when we see a case like the one in malaysia it exposes areas that don't have enough vaccination to prevent the spread so it's it's absolutely important that children who are not vaccinated in malaysia and frankly in nearby countries this particular strain is related to the strain and the caisson in the philippines so these things travel so it's really the only way to stop it in its tracks is to really make sure everyone's vaccinated vaccines are very related to government they're provided regulated sometimes mandated by government so if you're a minority are marginalized group with any issues with the government you might be a bit suspicious. which in the case of vaccines i would think that it's such a public health issue that that would come before politics but it doesn't all the

time sometimes its concerns about safety the safety of the vaccine because people hear rumors or sometimes there are there are some very small risks and sometimes things do happen with vaccines so it's important to reassure the public that they understand how important it is to take them to prevent the spread of disease. so now in bahrain have been crowned arabian gulf cup champions for the very 1st time 3 time winners saudi arabia one nil in the final in doha held malick report. via arabian gulf cup came to a climax on sunday the tournament has largely gone by without incident despite the ongoing blockade on host nation qatar. and it was 2 of the 4 countries saudi arabia and bahrain that have imposed the land sea and air blockade since june 2017 that battled out in the final. while there were a few saudi fans in attendance and $900.00 bahraini supporters flew to doha
