with this is al jazeera, ah hello, this is in use our on al jazeera, fully back to bo live in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. anger and grief in the us after a gunman kills 19 children and 2 teachers at a primary school in texas, failures of leadership. a scathing report is released in the u. k. on violations of current virus lockdown, bowls by the prime minister and others. also this, our a concentrated effort to destroy everything why ukraine says roches assaulting the east is more focused than ever. and the gamba said to prosecute former president, dia jamie and his allies for crimes committed during his rule. and only

a hardy was sports. it was an emotional night for india fans and dallas as they pay tribute to the victims of the school shooting that happened just south of them in texas. ah, thank you for joining as we begin in the us, where young students and their families are getting grief counseling after the worst. my school shooting in a decade 19 primary age children and 2 teachers were killed in the town of valentine, texas. the attacker earlier shot his grandmother and he was later killed by police al jazeera rob reynolds begins, are coverage with this report. a shocking act of violence as ripped, yet another american town into pieces. an 18 year old gunman stormed in elementary school in wal day, 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. nobody's telling them telling me anything. and one of the parents is saying that there's kids possibly held at the funeral home. and that's what brought me over here to find out what's going on. the unthinkable details began to emerge. 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 600 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 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 mass shootings per week. nearly $200.00 mass shootings have happened so far this year. that includes $27.00 school shootings. these kids weren't, i'm lucky. 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 in new vall day brought this response from president joe biden, as when in god's name we're going to stand up to the gun lobby. when in

god's 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 our 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 who vol day will likely be repeated again. and again, rob reynolds al jazeera, so gun control laws under scrutiny. again, that's bringing our white house correspondent kimberly hawkins. kimberly, we heard the u. s. president on tuesday, pleading for congress to do something on gun laws. how likely is it that they

actually do something? well, it's a controversial issue in the united states. there are many that hold dear. the 1st are met or rather the 2nd amendment, the right to bear arms in the united states. something is protected under the u. s . constitution, particularly conservatives in the united states that believe that it is their right to have a firearm. and so there are many in the u. s. congress that represent these voters that will fight against any effort to put in place what the democratic party calls reasonable gun laws and still in the wake of this shooting. once again, we are hearing from some of the loudest voices, including senator chris murphy, who represents the state of connecticut. where of course, roughly 10 years ago, that is where the sandy hook, shooting very similar to the one that took place. you know, just 24 hours ago in texas having a similar number of children killed and similar heartbreak. and yet we saw very

little change as a result of that tragedy. so many people holding very little hope that this is going to be any different some 10 years later. still this is a president joe biden that campaigned on the promised to try and make change. and he does have this in his background portfolio. in fact, back in 1994, he did successfully along with a number of law makers passed an assault weapons ban that did it last for 10 years and did dramatically reduce mass shootings in the united states. unfortunately, it was allowed to expire. this president campaigned on trying to bring this back, and there is some hope in the u. s. congress, at least on the part of some democrats. and i should say, some conservatives, but not all. that this might be the sort of the tipping point that would get people

behind, at least banning these high caliber weapons that lead to this mass carnage, such as we saw in texas just 24 hours ago. right? the n r a. kimberly the biggest you has gotten lobby's holding is convention in texas in just a few days. how do we expect them to respond to this latest shooting? well, they haven't responded yet, and i imagine that they are certainly going to have some difficulty given the fact that this convention is taking place in the very same state where this tragedy occurred. we know that one of the senators ted cruz who represents texas as well as the governor, will be in attendance and also former president donald trump. so certainly these are all advocates of protecting the gun lobby. we also know that when it comes to the position of the national rifle association or an array, that in fact, well, they haven't spoken about this tragedy, particularly. they have been very vocal about president biden's appointee or the

person he would like to see being in charge of the a t f for the body that regulates firearms very quickly. the n r is very opposed to this individual. in fact, they have been opposed to every person that has been appointed to had this body. and as a result, there has been no one leading this body since 2015 can be thank you very much for that. kimberly hawk, it is our white house correspondent as certain to other world news, our senior leaders in british prime minister boys johnson, dont office are being blamed for illegal parties at the height of corona virus lockdown is comes after a civil servant to grace $37.00 page reporting to what's known as point gate, johnson has apologized, saying he takes full responsibility for breaching locked on rules. i want to begin today by renewing my apology to the house, to the whole country. for the short lunch time gathering on the 19th of june 2020

in the cabinet room during which i put in my place of the cabinet table in which i received a fixed penalty notice. and i also want to say that speaker bubble that i take full responsibility for everything that took place all my life to join a hall in london outside the houses of parliament. jonah, this was a highly anticipated report. tell us what finish how the prime minister has responded, and what the reactions have been. yes for hilton, they're making his 1st apology since this party gate saga broke in late november last year. but certainly his 1st apology of the day in the house of commons there, he will go on to apologize to the public in the next couple of hours in a press conference and then to his own m p. 's. later this evening, in the hope of dissuading any of them from moving against him in triggering a potential leadership concept. you heard mr. johnson speaking. there, i am humbled. he went on to say by the findings of the su gray report,

i have learned from them characterize the gatherings that he attended. one of which he received defined for in downing street as being occasions that he believed work related necessary occasions in terms of being able to find could reward stop working. extraordinarily long hours for their efforts. he said what happened after his brief attendance of those events, but some of them descended into late night and alcohol fuelled parties. us surprising, disappointing and calling. i had no knowledge of subsequent proceedings because i simply wasn't there. he said it was his belief at the time that the events he attended were within the rules kissed tom of the opposition leader picking up pointing out that this is the 1st prime minister to have been officially found by the police to have broken the law whilst in office, an issue of trust, said mister starr, the grey report, he said, would be a monument to the hubris and arrogance of

a government that believes it has one rule for itself and other rules for the rest of us. as to su grey's report itself, well, it's been months of course, coming. not a great deal brand new in it. much of what has been leaked as much of what it is in it has been leaked out to the public over the preceding months. so that the government will be hoping the fury has largely be vented. she said again, as she said in january, that they've been failures of leadership and judgment in number 10 and in the cabinet office to do with events that should not have been allowed to happen. it is not her place to have apportion blame directly to any individual nor any specific punishment or sanction. but she said, the senior leadership at the center, both political and official, must bear responsibility for this culture in number 10, downing street briefly joint. how damaging is this for boys? johnson?

as i said, the government will be hoping that much of the fury has already been invented that much of it is priced into the report today. and there's not a great deal new in it. the real constituency that boys chose, needs to worry about is his own, m. p. 's, who he'll be addressing later, hoping that more of them do not decide to send him. that is of no competence and trigger a leadership contest. of course, he could potentially survive that contest anyway, potentially the real threat against him is a parliamentary inquiry pending now to whether he lied to parliament. when he said no parties had taken place. no rules had been broken in the b. one of the photographs in the report leaked on monday shows him holding aloft the wineglass, paying tribute in a toast to a leaving senior employee that has given some people cause to wonder whether indeed he had lied to parliament. whether that was evidence of it. and if he is found to have lied to parliament, that is an offense, but there is broad consensus should result in the prime minister's resignation.

jonah, thank you for that. john hall live for his there in london. freddy moore, head on this news hour, including a show of force us in south korea. reacting to the latest move, north korea, turkey foreign minister is in west drew fleming zonker needs drought speak to men strange ties. and later in toward a new world record for the biggest waves ever ukraine's president phase, russia is trying to destroy everything in the eastern dom boss region. so to me is lensky is urging the west to keep up a regular supply of heavy weapons to keep rushes. defense ministry says there's no deadline for the fighting and it will continue until it's goals are achieved. well, ukrainian officials say the russian offensive and the ease is not, and it's most intent stage. i'll just hear as big as in come a tours, get an area which has seen heavy shilling and as strikes the sides of the struggle

. told me the authorities here at 2 o'clock this morning. and just to give you an idea that this is an empty billable hitter on tray in the morning, we felt the shock waves hotel. you were welcome, hold, tell, shaking from back, move the explosion. if percent heads 100 meters to the left or to the rights, then it would have hit the residential buildings, have the shock wave. if i can just show you to every single window, i'm even speaking to the residence. and some of them said that the rebel, it's building was feel cross into the apartment, one letter of intent and venture, and he sent them to me on the country. but had they been a massive builder, had landed on his grandchild and he was in tears. many people that were in the left is to keep because of the fighting. the russians are by 25 kilometers away, but the city is william range of the rockets and they can even hit it with

artillery. and that's the fear that no place in and ukraine safe. this is the scene of the cross hasn't been they didn't think it's in the don't bass region. in fact, in the next region or this, one of the reasons has been done by the government. they have been 12, people killed the last 24 hours and the gun rooms are hand squeezed and says, this is one of the most difficult times that they are facing in ages of this conflict with russian back separatists. elsewhere in the postage, mary pulled them discover $200.00 bodies under the rubble of an apartment building . that's one of the largest number, highest number of discovery since the start of this war. but like i said in the east of the country, the russians seem to make it seem to be making their wanted on several axis, putting many talents. it gets rather reach of the artillery and rockets. but this was an air strike. and that just shows that the russians are able to strike any taste. and at any time on russia's invasion of ukraine has alarmed countries

across eastern europe with fears. they could be dragged into the conflict as well as stony. i shares a border with russia. it's been a full member of nato in the european union since 2004. it's already sent more than $230000000.00 worth of military a to ukraine. that's point 8 percent of its cdp, the highest of any country. joining us now and then use our is a lock harris, who is the president of estonia, his line from the world economic forum in davos, switzerland. mister president, thank you so much for being with us. on al jazeera, i you, you live in a dangerous neighbourhood today, mister president. how worried are you about the risk of the war in ukraine to your country? and how do you assess your current relationship with not just natal, but also with russia? one of the moon for the no immediate threat to as soon as we goes, 1st of all, we are a member for nature on this sombre law will probably defend us and not only nato

troops in australia but, but also also a cell. so it, sir, i just lost my my bees. so it is one thing and of course that differences with ukraine is not a neutral member. so you can't compare the situations. but of course, as far as rush o school and cern would have warned your or the several times. but this kind of thing might happened, but nobody did expect throat, but a ukraine right in this way. and this kind of war was thought was a nationalist, j o, a neighbor, and we have to be prepared and to defend ourselves. so on relations with nato is extremely good and it's even better than our neighbors. finland and sweden are actually joining the chinese noto so security situation. is

it to be different than that? so 510 or 15 years ago you talked about cement, english of leadership. i mean, not for moment to not so many countries actually have relations with russia. right? so 1st of all, it's important to stop this war, which is ukraine discretion, and then we can start talking. what sir? i think you next mister president, you talked about finland and sweden there, and they have been slaves within nato, about the way forward finland and sweden want to join the alliance. but turkey has been opposed to it. as you know, there's been a meeting in anchor. there's a meeting in ankara later today, or do you think we can expect a breakthrough on that? and do you think president or to one of turkey's concerns about finland and sweden joining nato are legitimate. well of course sir, it's a very early stage as was finland and sweden joining the notes or so of course

some companies like life turkey, they have their own concern, but it's very, very difficult to say of you stage what's going to happen on, but i'm pretty much convinced, but by the end of the day or by the end of the year, this was what is on the mortgage anymore. and, and you turkeys not against finan denser and joining nato at divisions. however, also in the u, within the european union, hungary as blocking as 6 package of sanctions against russia, that includes that of russian oil ban. aha, how do you convince president old bond that this is the way to go? well, have to convince because it is important to, to implement this. so 6 package. and even if it takes time times, we can also have what means off a package to be implemented on a keep talking to, to some companies who are not very favor off to scandal for the sanctions as well

as oil and gas is concerned. so it's an bro working process, and we'll see how it goes right there. growing concerns mr. president about global food supplies, because grades from ukraine are not moving. what role can your country estonia plainness? of course it, sir, it's so important issue because we are might be in a doorstep often others, you know, during crisis you for your crone is not able to provide so great into developing countries mostly in africa. so we have to find means to get his clearing out of the country and baltic staves were together. we ukraine discussing called jewels. busy road and under voltage, the harvest, all dixie harbours to get grain outdoor for ukraine. because what are about 50000000 magic, johns or 1st grade and ukraine and are waiting to get out because you don't have

storage is stuart to give firmly ukraine. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us, mr. president. alack, harris is the president of estonia. joining us there from the world economic forum in davos, switzerland. we appreciate your time. thank you. thank you very much. and again, be as says, it's ready to prosecute former president. yeah, i, jamie and other officials involved in crimes. under his roar, a government appointed commission investigated atrocities committed between 19942017. but victims are skeptical. they'll find justice, i'm ready to raise reports on the gambia capital banjo. use of them by a 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. yeah, i got me ah, yes of us as he was only able to regain pasha use of his hand after 22 years of physiotherapy, doctors say his survival was

a miracle. even eating is quite a struggle. gumby is truth. reconciliation and reparation commission recommended he be paid compensation, but he returned the $400.00. he was given that i didn't need money. i need my help . my head is more important than anything it poured in. that is something neither his attackers, the truth commission, any nor the current government can give him back of i was and victims families have singled out members of the hits hort loan as douglas or most of vehicles is committed under home, oppressed india on that one. them pry and punish, but active is also want political leaders to be held accountable for not stopping those crimes. journalists on red cross volunteer omar bottle was killed while happened. victims shocked by the security forces is somebody believed he was targeted because of his work. as a journalist, his widow, our son, isn't as confident on the report, the government will release or bring closure. he just cannot reconcile and for the

people without knowing how can you funny somebody you don't know. look at your husband, how can you forget that you have to have guessed is then and at that me foggy. need a cleanser. when before that we need justice for her justice means punish those responsible for the crimes committed, including jojo di me or she says still has some influence in the gap. yeah. the government says it took this long to ensure a thorough, unsatisfactory job of investigating allegations of rights abuses of issues, hope government action on the rights commission's recommendations could heal wounds and reconciling nations struggling to come to terms with its recent past. but most victims like use of him by remain skeptical springing, i may be trees who live in bon jewel. unimportant dammit today in the gambia was the deadline for gambia as president of my borrowed to either ratify or reject the

findings of the truth and reconciliation commission. tell us about the recommendations that it's made. the truth and reconciliation commission and the government's response. when fully a lot of recommendations were made by the t r a c or the truth reconciliation repression, commission. 256 recommendations were med. i'm out of those 456. the minister of justice said only to what injected one of them, of course was the banning and the trial or prosecution affording just walking in the can be under for my lead i a job then gumby was looking for. busy or judicial offices, and they had to go to sucking countries to get some judges with expertise in the judicial system who's subbed and i a, jeremy. those were the ones who are recommended for band for being banned from the gumby. also being prosecuted that the government rejected. however,

the victims survivors, the 2 families, activities, diplomats and everybody why he came here this morning with expectations that they will be disappointed at the end of the day. however, i spoke to one lady whose father, by the way, she's a nice to for my president, john, me. how father and his sister disappeared was forcibly taken from their homes. and nothing has been heard from them since 2005. and i asked him what tom feeling about the government wide paper. she said she was really shocked. she came expecting disappointment. but what she says is that they want to see these recommendations. these plan of action being put into action by the government of the camp. so that people will find closure flaws. she said it's very difficult. i made. thank you very much for that. i'm did reply for his fare in banjo. let's discuss this further now with fight monte job. who's the executive director of the center for research

and policy development, and he's joining us from the gambia. thank you very much for being with us. so what do you make of the recommendations out this white paper and the government's response? do you think they will really follow through and prosecute the i john is allies but i think the government from accepting 99.9 percent of the of the recommendation basically shows that they are coming to. ready to the presentation of jam and i think that is also by the fact that i feel about me to somebody as. ready soon as validations and but. ready justice then and then so i think definitely based on the fact that the government accepted this recommendation by the data, it says that there's commitment to prosecuting but you say those commitment, however, item borrow the current president of the gambia has created an electro alliance

with the old political party of jammy, i had of the upcoming elections in december. can we really expect his government dot m a bar with government to take far reaching decisions that will bring closure to the victims of jeremy? what i think the white paper, i mean i you know, most victims were expecting that it might have been some you know, diffusion for to go committed to accept. busy recommendation by the data, in fact, that exist in some families you by the government has also saw that the next 10 days that but even if you look at the relationship between interested in the property, if they have their marketing, has this become the maximum assemblage, but then did not stop the government from saying demi needs to be persecuted or the

people that violated the amanda mississippi. so i think for me, the additional data is thinking today is a clear test. i mean, the commitment quite the chose commission and the truth and reconciliation commission has been essential, of course, in publicizing many of yeah, john mays talk to his ledger truck. but to this day, there are some in gambia, some gambia, and who dismissed the accusations against him as unfounded smears. what do you think needs to happen for the healing process to actually succeed? but i think the, the biggest champion of that was the function of today and so since they don't see that noise has been balance, but of course i think people steal bad things than the permission or. ready damage, and so those people but at some point what needs to be doing is to ensure that

there is a mission but then showing that it was the process that has to take place. shouldn't been dawn and transmitted to, to ensure that people that fear that the process what we should also see that they have been evidence again this people and i think that the, the girlfriend but also to ensure that there's that wide. ready consideration as i have seen in this white paper. so i think that they got ready to date and this morning also i had diminished. i'm talking about sharing this report, the white paper, the forward to go to practice. and i think that that action in addressing ensuring that there's participated. absolutely. and because the sides mighty job, thank you very much for talking to us about the thank you for your time time now for a check on the world, whether his rom,

the seasonal rains of started in west africa, they seasonal because they only happen for these few summer months and they're big chairs that move in land, sometimes reach right into the heart of this higher. but what they tend to do, of course, is bring flooding. it's expected, it's just annoying. soliciting across the coast of gone, but it's not just this country that's been effected. as you can see from the forecast. the line extends, particularly from liberia and sierra leone and the ivory coast, and it goes inland. some shall be found as far north as, as moll, even southern now g, that really is in the sahara. and the line extends through he and i say season rain, cuz you can see that if you follow it off shore, it goes towards south america. in fact, that goes that way. it goes currently just north of brazil is called the seas as it goes all way around. the world was interrupted by these continents and that's the forecast for south america. that course, that does mean logically it should exist and extend eastwards, so tropical africa and the does. and it should be this time the when you get decent

range in, for example, kenya is c o p s, typically in the highlands and in small the horn of africa. but look, what's happened this year, 6 millimeters rain in nairobi, which is only 5 percent of the average. it might improve a little, but not much. still ahead on al jazeera travel at the tail y 40 percent of people in the u. k. are spending less on food and something you may not see again for a very long time, more from the n b a playoffs later in sports, whitley se, ah, ambition, artistry, adventure, short documentary by african filmmakers from beneath kenya and algeria in the alley, minium village throttle queens, this is when we get to let her hair down and the cane africa direct

the i watching al jazeera alive from a reminder of our top stories on this news. our gunman, his skills 900 primary school children and 2 teachers in the us, fate of texas that happened in the city of san antonio. and it has reunited calls from gun control across the us. in the u. k. prime minister voice johnson says he takes full responsibility for attending several parties at breach cove, in 1900 locked down roles. the opposition as a prime minister showed complete contempt for the british people. and the gambia says it's ready to prosecute former president t i. jeremy and other officials for crimes committed under his rule. a truth commission investigated atrocities between 19942017. another news turkeys. foreign minister says a normalization of ties between anchor and israel will. how bring a solution to these really palestinian conflict?

married casual glue is in western slim as a 2 countries were to mend. strain to relations is a 1st a senior turkish official to visit in more than 15 years. casual glue has promised continuous support for palestinians while meeting the palestinian president mahmoud abbas on tuesday. in non con is in west jerusalem. and so the meeting focused more on economic corporation. well, relations have been at an all time low diplomatic relations between israel and turkey. have actually been non existent for 15 years or so. what this is very significant for both of those 2 countries. but if you take the press conference at face value, it felt like 2 business leaders talking rather than 2 foreign ministers. there was a heavy emphasis on the idea, the business relations people who he ple relations that we're going to push that really the, the relations further with israel and with turkey. so it didn't really feel like it was a political press conference. indeed,

you just heard there the turkish foreign minister reference the israeli palestinian conflict. that was the only time it was mentioned, the israeli fm didn't talk about it at all. so what does this mean for these really palestinian relationship? will the turks are saying that their approach on with israel, while it will not come at the expense of the palestinians, that the, that you still maintain their relationship with the palisades. and indeed the turkish f. m. met with a bass and the foreign minister in ramallah yesterday. so and he said that was a fruitful meeting. but this was much like i say, really focused on business and really focused on a relationship. perhaps those are things that they could agree on. we were expecting the ambassadors to each country to be announced, those reinstatement of the ambassadors that didn't happen, although we do understand that it was talked about. but ultimately i think it was the visual of those 2 people. those 2 countries standing side by side after 15

years that both countries wanted to put alba. i've been new evidence to support witness accounts of how al jazeera jernace. rene clay was shot dead according to a c in an investigation. she was killed in a targeted attack by israeli forces. the report says there was no active combat or any palestinian fighters, ne blockers location. the us base news channel come through 11 videos of the scene, showing israel's military convoy from different angles before, during and after she was shot, 8 witnesses and audio and explosive weapons expert bank cap, the findings. i'll just say media network continuous demand, a rapid investigation independent, transparent investigation into a killing of a colleague in the occupied westbank sharina black. he was shot in the head by is really for his while she was an assignment in janine earlier in the month on the day of her funeral, israeli forces told me the procession and started beating more, causing the whole barriers to nearly drop her casket that didn't stop thousands of

palestinians from marching through occupied through them to take part in her funeral and burial. members of the international community have condemned her killing and accounting for an investigation. during blocker was with arduous era for 25 years covering these really occupation. she was known as the voice of palestine. yes. now the latest miss i launches by north korea have been followed by south korean and us soldiers doing lie fire drills. they started always after president joe biden feel home after meeting south korea's new president unit. so y'all at the weekend both agreed to hold large military exercises and normally house regularly. those rails follow north korea, firing 3, miss signs, one of them an intercontinental ballistic miss on japan and south korea detected them being fired from 2 non towards the sea of japan. south korea kaufman describes the miss on tests as a grave provocation. robert bryant is covering the story from us for

a storm. took him 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 missile. the kind of a heavy 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 cbm in the future. and 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 present changing being has defended china's record to the un high commissioner for human rights. michelle bosh lays on the 6th a visit to china. it coincides with the leaking of thousands of photographs, reportedly showing wiggle people in so called re education camps and shoot to kill orders for escape attempts. china has repeatedly denied detaining
