attack happened. or people in vall day who have expressed shock, frustration, and sadness, or was thought tuesdays shooting. my family is good, but my town isn't paying you know, much all the pain there's. i mean like i said, these kids were, there were always angels. yesterday that getting their wings. you know, this town is heartbroken, devastating. maybe a little pressure on somebody to change the loss. so gone those top the guns don't give him the hands of children and mentally disturb people. i mean, it's the same cry. we've been crying all alone. well, the white house says president joe biden is planning to visit val day this weekend and in the last hour. so texas governor greg orbits as held a news conference on the shooting, which was interrupted by the democratic nominee for his job base, a work accused abbot of doing nothing on gun crime. he responded by saying it was

a time for healing politics. their family members who are crying as we speak, their family members whose hearts are broken. there's no words that anybody shouting can come up here and do anything. to heal those broken hearts. we all, every texan, every american has a responsibility where we need to focus not on ourselves and our agendas. we need to focus on the healing and hope that we can provide to those who have suffered unconscionable damage to their lives and loss of life. gun violence is a systemic problem in the schools in the us that's according to the k 12 school shooting database research project. now there have been more than 2000 school shootings since 970. and the database comes to every instance that

a gun is fine. or a bullet hits school property for any reason. in all at least 681 people have been killed in 1903 injured. and the database by the washington post says more than 311000 children from 331 schools have been exposed to gotten violence. and that since 999 was a disproportionate number of them are children of color. to my republican colleagues, imagine if it happened to you. imagine if this was your kid or your grand kid, how would you feel? could you ever forgive yourself or not supporting a simple law that would make these mass shootings less likely. please, please, please damn it. put yourself in the shoes of these parents for once. maybe that thought. putting yourself in the shoes of these parents instead of in the arms of the n. r re might let you wriggle free from the vice like grip of the

re, our country is 2nd outrage by the suntrust evil. that struck rob elementary school and evolving texas only yesterday. according to early reports from authorities, it appears that a deranged young man tried to murder his own grandmother and crush his car and then ran into an elementary school and began killing at least 19 young children and 2 teachers were murder, murder for no apparent reason. at all. well, our white house correspondent, kimberly how could joins us live. hi there. kimberly. let's start with that texas news conference. what else was said there? oh, well the police are continuing to investigate what exactly led to this shooting because

there were very few prior indications in the weeks leading up to the carnage that occurred. so what we know is that the f b i as well as border patrol agents are investigating. they are visiting the government's homemade, the relatives homes. and we also know that there is investigation underway into some of the warning signs that may have been ignored, particularly when it comes to the suspects. mental health, the texas governor saying that too often there is a chronic at issue of unaddressed mental health issues in the united states that may be contributing to a large number of the shootings in there. there is a shortage of mental health supports in the united states, and this may be a factor that needs to be looked at more closely. kimberly, we've heard these impassioned, please m. tonight was a by hope and healing for something to happen. are there any signs that this time

some progress might be made? not yet, and in fact we heard in the last day from the senator from the us state of connecticut, chris murphy, and you'll remember connecticut was the state where roughly 10 years ago was the sight of the new town, connecticut shooting, or sandy hook elementary, where as similar number of children were gun down and nothing happened as a result of that mass shooting. and so many americans are feeling that there will be little change yet again. we have seen in the house of representatives that there have been measures in the lower chamber that have passed, but when they get up to the upper chamber, the u. s. senate, they have been largely blocked by conservatives who are very much a defenders of what's known as the 2nd amendment or the right to bear arms, which is entrenched in the u. s. constitution. the right to have a hand gun or

a high powered assault rifle is something that many americans hold dear, and they elect officials that into congress that will defend that right. and so this is a divisive issue, and as a result has not led to any substantial change in the united states. so it's unlikely we'll see change this time either. and kimberly the national rifle association, that's the biggest u. s. gun lobby is holding its convention in texas on friday. do we expect them to, to respond to this and if they do high? so notably silent and it is ironic that so close to the side of this latest tragedy, there will be the convention of the national rifle association. there's been no comment so far. we are watching to see what will come of that in attendance. will be former president trump staunch supporter of the 2nd amendment,

ambient array as well as the texas governor and greg abbott. and it ted cruz, another a strong gun supporter from that state. i. we should also point out that all of these men have been big supporters of making sure that the i head of b a t f or the alcohol tobacco firearms regulatory body does not have anyone running it. in fact, there's been no one running it since 2015 because largely anyone who's appointed doesn't pass the test in terms of the approval and congress. and that seems to be the case again, there's been someone appointed by the biden administration and already that is getting a lot of criticism in congress. so these are the challenges that you see over and over again. and we may hear from the president talking about that in the next hour or so. he will be talking about policing reform. but i expect that he may also address this tragedy yet again, given the fact that he is so moved by what has happened. and the fact that he has

worked on gun legislation the past and even campaigned on it when he ran for president can be how could they join us from the white house will know that speak to you later. kimberly, thank you. o, decent pakistan, fired tear gas and use batons. again, supporters of former prime minister in rome. com, who's planning to march on the capital, the sour interior minister says nearly 1700 people have been arrested khan, who was, i've said last month is called on his support. is to stay just sitting in islam a bond to demand new elections. the government has not wolds leading to the capital and deployed thousands of security personnel will let school live now to come. our hider who's in this law had there come also the marchers were very much determined despite police action are we still expected to see in rom. com arrived there, this our emron cons,

a stronger than ever ruble, and a city inflation rate is seemingly enough for president putin to continue spending money. as of june, 1st, the minimum wage in russia will increase by 10 percent as well for the monthly amount for pensioners across the country of a border. that spending isn't just limited to the russian federation. here in the ukranian city of her son. now, in full russian control, social assistance from the moscow back municipal government, each resident is getting 10000 roubles. the russian currency officially being used in this region that's likely to strengthen the occupiers position in a region of ukraine that's been keen to join russia. but whether it will be repeated in other areas is unclear. if moscow wants to gain support and territories being destroyed, it will likely have to continue to spend even more money door such a bari al jazeera moscow president. she jing ping has defended china's record to

's for parties during lockdown in downing street and government buildings. and i also want to say mister speaker above that, i take full responsibility for everything that took place on my watch. we are humbled by the experience and we have learned

on the details of 16 gatherings emerged in the long awaited report into party gates, so called by senior civil servants, su gray. it describes failings of leadership and judgment at the heart of government, a culture of excessive drinking, while too little thought she says was given to what was happening across the country. a police investigation handed a 126 fines to 83 people in government, including one to the prime minister himself. johnson believes the gatherings he attended briefly had been work related and within the rules. what happened afterwards? he said, late night drunken revelry was news to him. i had no knowledge of the subsequent proceedings because i simply wasn't that. and i have been as surprised and disappointed as anyone else in this house. as the revelations have unfolded,

the opposition reacted with predictable fury. this report will start as a body a month. so the few breath arrogance of a government yet, but believe it was rotten, we'll put them in another roll everyone out. whether johnson's future easy, no doubt, depends on the response of m. p. 's within his own party, i made my point, my position very clear to the prime minister. he does not have my support. but the question i humbly put to my colleagues is, are you willing day in and day out to defend misbehavior publicly for months? now the conservative party m p 's have been saying that they would hold off triggering a leadership contest against boris johnson until the su gray report was published. but the reality is there wasn't much in it that isn't already in the public domain . no major surprises. it may well be that the next benchmark against which the prime minister is to be judged is the question of whether he knowingly misled

parliament when he told m. p 's last december that no poppy had been held. no rules had been broken. if a pending parliamentary inquiry finds, he did lie to an peas, that would be an offense for which a prime minister would be expected to resign. in the meantime, opinion polls suggest 59 percent of britons think johnson should resign anyway. the party gate saga isn't over yet. joe al jazeera london experts in mexico say there's been a huge rise in the number one and butterfly spending the winter there, which suggest their adapting to the changing climate. one about supplies traditionally migrate to mexico in late october and spend the winter in mountains hope for us they normally for the us and canada in march. mexican officials say the insects covered about 28000 square meters of land this winter compared to about 20000 last year. and that's despite deforestation.
