welcome to the program gun controls under scrutiny once again in the us after what's being described as a heinous, horrific and incomprehensible school shooting. 19 primary school children and 2 teachers have been shot dead in the town of you val day in texas. the attacker aaliyah shot his grandmother who has survived. he was killed by police. rob rentals, reports not from los angeles, a shocking act of violence as ripped, yet another american town into pieces. an 18 year old gunman stormed an elementary school involved a texas tuesday afternoon. and opened fire. as the news spread frantic parents waited to find out if their children were safe on. and nobody's telling me anything. always telling me, telling me anything. and one of the parents are saying that there's kids possibly held at the funeral home. and that's will rami over here to find out what's going

on. and the unthinkable details began to emerge shouting, salvador romeus, an 18 year old male who resided in you valley is believed that he abandoned his vehicle and entered into the rob elementary school in the valley. with with a hand gun and he may have also had a rifle. as of now, no motive is known for the mass shooting. the 6 under children who attended the primary school were aged from 5 or 6 to about 12 years old. at this point, the investigation is leading to tell us that the, the suspect did act alone during this heinous crime. the killings come less than 10 days after a gunman who posted racist rance online killed 10 people at a grocery store in buffalo. new york gun laws in texas are among the least restrictive in the country. there is no minimum age limit for

children to possess. fire arms in texas, the u. s. average is about 10, mast shootings per week. nearly $200.00 mast shootings have happened so far this year. that includes $27.00 school shootings. these kids weren't unlucky. this only happens in this country. and nowhere else, nowhere else to little kids go to school thinking that they might be shot that day . the murders of the school children involved a brought this response from presidential by. when in gods name, we're going to stand up to the gun lobby. when in gods name, we do, we all lose our gut needs to be done. despite polls that show a majority of americans favor tougher gun laws. the efforts to pass national gun legislation have been blocked. time and time again by republicans and

a few democrats in congress. this confuse in word and i'm trying to find out my babies in with an estimated 390000000 guns owned by civilians in the u. s. and few effective limits on gun ownership. the horror in new vol day will likely be repeated again and again, rob reynolds al jazeera though ukraine's president says russia is trying to destroy everything in the eastern dumbass region. autumn is lensky is urging the west to keep a regular supply of heavy weapons to keith rushes. defense minister says as no deadline for the fighting, and it'll continue. its goals are achieved. that is not done by just atlanta. the situation and dumbasses extremely difficult out of all russian mind is now concentrated on this region, lemon. papa's nina civ. road on yet, squab,

vianza. then the occupiers want to destroy everything there, but in their communication and to sip sweetly hear that they realize that this war has no sense for them. that strategically they are. army has no chance of victory yet, it requires time and a lot of unprecedented if it, from our people to overcome their advantage in the amount of military equipment and armaments settled with the ukrainian official say the russian offensive isn't in the east, is now at its most intense acid bag is in comatose in an area which are seen heavy shelling. this is a strike that took place. so duck this morning, the russians hit this. what seems like an empty building, but to give you an idea of how powerful that was, we will woke up at 2 o'clock in the morning when the shock wave in the sign of that it's hotel rooms actually literally shaking. but if the strike has gone 100 meters to right, 200 meters to the left, the residential buildings and every single window has been blown out. but not only

that, the debrief from this, i'm from this building, the blocks up concrete, were blown into the rooms. i spoke to one my kids. he said that his family wasn't, have grandchildren. i had sent them to the west. but one of those concrete boulders landed on the children's bed and said, had they been there, he would have definitely been killed. now if he lost a daughter to this war, his son fighting. and he says that now they're building their homes are being destroyed and seeing the preparation. they're still ongoing this morning that the glass everywhere residents in tears trying to make sense of what's happening. but i'll try that use pretty much every time. and village has been here yesterday, the town of 5 people who killed in a mythos strike yesterday evening. the other towns and villages that had the cleaning defense meant to talk about expense and intense pricing. and the russians are making gains despite what the ukraine, the same, the, the russians are making slow gains in different axis and closing in on this pockets

. this area we're coming to, these other towns are closing in on several different active, putting the ukrainian ministry on the intense pressure. now the main to sever it, and then that's going to the husk region that's experiencing really intense lighting. most of the bridges have been blown out. there's only one bridge that remains the ukraine. the military is using now, there are some areas of ukraine which are returning to normal, but there are still concerns even near keith. same restaurant has more from dana, just north of the capital. this is a town that's been on the mind of many ukrainians, especially president latimer zalinski for at least a week. now let me just give you a sense of where we are. doesn't it is a military town. the main feature of this town is an enormous military base because of security restrictions. i can't show you. but what i'm looking at is a huge training facility. driving up, we saw tanks, doug in physicians, major enforce positions and trained a training based

a stretch of very large area of land. basically the whole town. this whole village is built around a military base. we're about an hour or 2, just north of keith. and the reason that this location is important is because of a missile strike that took place here about a week ago, a little over a week ago. what happened here last week only has come to light a few days ago, which is when president lindsey spoke about it. in his address to diverse, he said 87 people were killed in a strike. multiple rockets being fired in one missile strike at this military base, killed 87 people. that number is significant because that is the highest single loss of military life in a single strike. since the start of the russian invasion in february. now this location is nowhere near the eastern front where there are ground battles raging. this is nowhere near the south where there are also battles ongoing. this is far from any of that. this is just north of the capital again, just about an hour and 20 minutes north of keep. and that is significant because it

continues to illustrate one simple fact that as long as your crane is not control of the airspace over the land that it is fighting for russian missiles, russian air power continues to be able to reach out and touch any single inch of this country whenever it wants to and that continues to be the major problem. trends, air defenses are not what they need to be to take. it's aerospace back. now israel's foreign minister says his country's opening a new chapter relations with turkey is turkish counterpart as in west jerusalem as anchor. and israel seek to men strange relations leverett gas glue says a normalization of ties will help work towards the solution of the palestinian conflict. he's the 1st senior turkish official to visit more in more than 10 years . m on car has been following events for us and both foreign ministers have been speaking in the last few minutes. emma, what have they been saying? well, considering neither of these countries have had to move diplomatic relations for

about 15 years. and this was the 1st time a level of meeting at this level took place in 15 years. it was actually slightly disappointing. if you took a look at the content of what they were talking about, it was very business. it was very business to develop ties to the contacts with each other. it was people to people that was mentioned. it wasn't a political conversation or in the broad sense of that word. it was very much we are going to do this. we're each other. we've often had a difficult relations in the past, but we know when to open a new chapter said the israeli foreign minister is interesting though, because of the turkish foreign minister did mention the israeli palestinian conflict did mention his warm conversations where that mahmoud abbas in the foreign minister of palestine. ah, but that wasn't picked up on all brought out by the israelis either. now the turks have said that their relations are new relations with israel won't come at the

expense of the palestinians, but this was very much la outlying an outlying, rather a business agreement. they felt like they didn't want to talk about politics at all . we were expecting an announcement of the ambassadors to each country to be reinstated. we didn't get that in the press conference where we understand that something that they did talk about. but perhaps the key thing here is not so much the content of the talk, but those visuals, turkey, and israel standing side by side after 15 years fully update, thanks so much among convoys there in western iceland that has been new evidence to support witness accounts of how al jazeera journal shaheen of actually was shot dead, according to a cnn investigation. she was killed in a targeted attack by israeli forces. the report says there was no active combat or any palestinian fighters near a blacklist location. the u. s. bass news channel comb through 11 videos of the scene, showing israel's military convoy from different angles before during and after she

was shot. 8 witnesses, an audio and an explosive weapons expert backed up the findings. the members of the un security council, a calling for an independent investigation into the death of sharina barkley. it's been meeting to discuss threats to global media freedom and the protection of journalists. kristin, silly me, is that what israel's killing of al jazeera, serene ob lockley in the occupied west bank, prompted ireland to call this meeting on the protection of journalists at the time of her killing. sharyn was on duty in a blue press, vest, a symbol which denotes civilian status, a symbol that demonstrates to parties to conflict, that journalists are not a target. the targeting of journalists in conflict zones is considered a war crime. the committee to protect journalists said no less than 18 have been

killed in the palestinian territories in the last 20 years. in ukraine, 9 journalists have died in the war with russia. but as the experts made clear, 9 out of 10 such crimes are never prosecuted. the failure of states to investigate, prosecute and punish crimes against john. this is not only a denial of justice, it is actually an encouragement to perpetuate a cycle of violence. al jazeera is abdur rahim for kara, promised to pursue all legal options for accountability. as eaters position is crystal clear. shaheen black, las life matters and so does a transparent an independent investigation of her killing and of the serious violation of her funeral by these rated security forces. there are other crystal clear issues for i'm 0 network. one sheeting, a black lout was killed by an israeli bullet and in cold blood while she was doing

her job to the network has the evidence and the witnesses to support that position to. yes, other media networks have made the same conclusion that in the un security council has condemned the killing of sharina block lay and called for a transparent impartial investigation. but they haven't supported the palestinian authority's call for an investigation by the international criminal court. essentially leaving accountability in israel's hands. christian folemi al jazeera, the united nations, well still had here on al jazeera show force, how the u. s. and south korea have reacted to the latest missile tests in north korean. i'm struggling to survive victims away government action on crimes committed under the rule of yashimi in the gambia to stay with us here on, on just a daily

is a change in where the big is sun. so was i like to be in southeast asia? it looks like yesterday they were focus further east, but further west when you got them, they were dramatic. this was in northern sumatra at a beautiful picture of lightning in the sun storm itself. there could be more thunderstorms in sumatra, but they're not that old vis. after say, the focus is further north and me and my, and it looks increasingly likely that to cambodia louse, maybe vietnam will see the wet weather again. this is 2 days full cost. i was marching through eastern borneo eastern job back to where it's still away. see, and west papua the season's changing nicely, but said he slowly in australia, these are you like early winter fronts coming through the temperature aren't extraordinarily low afterwards. we're in the tease the high teens, both sides and it's good scattering your showers from victoria up to queens, and nothing special about the coast to quizzes anymore. look like,

because it could have seen some heavy rain here, but we're back off from that western side. percy stuck about 20 to 23. nothing special here either. now it just take you for to day. the sun shows more than the shout, maybe in victoria there's a hint that next week could be wintry in australia. well melbourne, you know, worse than 13 or 14 degrees by tuesday, not bad. ah ah. with

with ah, look about the watching officer with me the whole rob, no reminder of all top stories. a government has killed 19 primary school children to teach us in the us state of texas. it happened to the city of valdez, near san antonio. it's rick 19 coles, the gun control across the nation. also ukraine's president says russia is trying to destroy everything in the eastern dalton bass region. russia's defense minister says no deadlines. the fighting on it will continue until it skulls are achieved and turkeys. foreign minister says a normalization of time, st. ankara and television will help towards

a solution to the palestinian conflict. that's good because civic clue is in west jerusalem. the talk says ankara and israel trying to mend strange relations. an overcrowded migrant boat has sunk off the coast of the tennessee and city of sax . 24 people having rescued, but one person died and at least 75 is still missing. the boat was sailing from the libyan city of zora when it capsized president shooting ping has defended china's record to the un human rights. commissioner michelle bachelor is on a 6 day visit to china that coincides with the leaking of thousands of photographs . reporter, be sharing. we get people in a so called re education camps and shoot to kill orders for escape attempts. china has repeatedly denied detaining a 1000000 muslims and other ethnic minorities in shane jang province. good here is live for us in beijing with the latest a surprising conversation really. between she and bachelor,

do we know more about what was discussed and her views about why beijing is doing this? yes, well it's indeed surprising as the president of china, it's very rare that she didn't ping me to chat with anybody who is not a head of state. so this really shows the importance student being attached to bachelor's visit. know, so it's an acknowledgment, in a sense that china know that it's getting a lot of criticism from around the world because of its human rights record. now this was a video call bash lays in southern china and one joe, and she's not going to be changing because of a carpet outbreak currently being taking place here. but we only have so far a chinese readout of what was discussed during this call and it appeared that she didn't ping took quite a defensive tone. he said that the communist party had the social development in the human rights protection of its people as its highest priority. and then he went

on to give her a bit of a lecture. really, he said that there was no ideal state and no need for an hour against teacher politicizing human rights issues. and how country goes about protecting the human rights of its people was up to the conditions of that country. of course that was a veil. swipe that the u. s. no doubt. and what it went on to say this chinese read out was that michelle bash lay was thankful to. she didn't bring for the opportunity to come to china and that she admired sean is a achievement when it came to poverty. eradication and the protection of human rights. alarmingly, what was missing from this was any mention at all of sion, john all the week of people, which is precisely the reason that ashley is here and even rights groups are skeptical about the access that she'll be given. perhaps we can assess that once she's left the country. that's right. i mean,

people are saying a critics are saying that this trip will be used by beijing to whitewash if any alleged atrocities that may have taken place or change. and that may still be taking place here that it will be used to justify their program or their treatment of the weaker muslim minority engine. joan michelle bash lay herself, has said that this is not an investigation that this is a trip to promote human rights and so far what from what we've seen, it's been a very or paid trip. there are no journalists, nor media, anything like that, traveling with her due to covered reasons. and most of the information that we're getting so far about what had dated activities are from state media here in china, or just little snippets from her team itself. and there is a lot more focus on her trip because we just had on tuesday, the release or the, the leaking of thousands of documents from the shin, young police, detailing the harrowing experiences of detainees at

a particular internment camp in shin, john, which really flies in the face of the narrative that aging has been saying a long since 2017 since 2018 beijing has said that there is no a force lay that no force detention no sterilization and no genocide taking place. but indeed, those are the things that michelle bash lay is here to assess. but as to whether ru, she'll be able to get a be given a real picture of that remains to be seen so far. we'll have to wait at least until saturday, which is the end of her trip. well she'll be giving some sort of press conference or mission statement and even then am haps, as you mentioned, her real thoughts may not be known until she leaves china. katrina, you the force in beijing thanks very much for the update. now katrina just mentioned the covert outbreak in china that's causing frustration in the capital beijing. as more people are putting quarantine to curve the spread of infections.

nearly 2000 residents of one area in beijing are being relocated for isolation, as the government pursues a 0 covey 19 policy. 11 of beijing, 16 districts have issued work from home, instructions and public transport has been reduced. the u. s. and south korea have conducted at live fire drills after north korea launched missiles, south korea's defense ministry release pictures, a fully armed fighter, james sat, an undisclosed location, both military say the surface to surface tests were conducted hours after us president joe biden left asia. and those drills follow north grades, firing 3 missiles, one of them, an intercontinental ballistic missile. japan and south korea detected them being fired from soon arm towards the sea of japan. the south korean government describes the miss ar test as a grave provocation. robert bride is covering the story for some tokyo please. the

3 miss elsewhere detected. just after daybreak, fired from the su 9 area. this is northwest of the capital young gang. it's the location of young young's airport flying east towards the sea that separates the korean peninsula from japan, the national security council of south korea. they convened a meeting straight afterwards as they often do. there's also been a response from the japanese. the japanese defense minister is saying that these are provocations which are completely unacceptable. this is the 17th round of missile launches so far this year. sometimes they have been multiple launches, as with this one today, wednesday. in the past though, we've also seen single missed our launches. i think what concerns the intelligence community here in japan and south korea and in the u. s. is the sophistication of some of these missiles. we've had a submarine launch, ballistic missile type being tested for the 1st time, fired from the water, or the north koreans mastering the technique of launching this also in submarine.

also at the end of march, there was an intercontinental ballistic with the kind of heavy, a missile capable of reaching the continental united states. and the kind of missile that hasn't been fired since 2017, with a warning from defense officials in japan, in south korea. and also in the us that we can probably expect more testing of icbm in the future at the south koreans and the u. s. military have promised greater cooperation in response to all list is now a conservative administration in south korea, including of course, what may be more military exercises, joint exercises. but those are the kinds of things that often anger north korea, prompting them to launch more. missiles focus on full prime minister on con, has called on is supportive to stage 8 sitting in a song about to demand new elections for the government has been the protest and deployed thousands of security personnel condom was removed from office after no confidence vote last month in 2014, he rallied support in his time of things to

a large city and outside parliament to protest against what he called rigged elections. correspondent kemal hyde resist above and says obstacles of being built to slow the protest as we've been daughter, dad. aboard. a highly charged crowded, moving from the high book to a while province read. a bron has had your own government, but you will find those obstacles. the minute they crossed the river and darted an elaborate plan, they have a bomb dash for dot ga and they've even board shredded glocks on the roads in order to floor down doors. marchers, the protest, march of gosh, hash crane. read them heavy equipment to move doors containers, so it will be important to see how this all plays out because we've already heard of some golfers between the police in the city of la hall, where did a p d i lead the lawyers then came to a rescue the guys were against them, so indeed attends development and on that now decided to come to this revenue if

dad able to come to this point and parliament the shouting distance. and that, of course, really proud allied the government and follow the president as guard station of the joint session of parliament tomorrow. if you do have such a large crowd and everyone is saying is going to bring 3000000 people. but even if you bring $300000.00 people to this particular area, that is going to be a major achievement for them around hon. and you cannot stop such large numbers from removing those badges. cage. now the gumby and government is sent to ratify or reject the findings of a report on atrocities committed under its former president. jimmy, the victims of skeptical the authorities will hold those accused to account and interest reports now from banjo use. if somebody comes to this hospital 3 times a week for physiotherapy, he was shot and left for dead in 2000 by troops loyal to gumby. as former president
