a job the police had made. they waited more than an hour before intervening. ah, i'm sammy zaden, this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up roches, president says he's ready to look for ways to ship's grains stock in ukraine's bolts. but the mountains, the west should lift sanctions bus. his features will not any mitigation view and human rights chief defends that controversial visit to china. she says she raised concerns about bay jeans treatments of we do most since plus on coal recent power. i swear funds are gathering in that tens of thousands for the champions league final, between liverpool and rail madrid. ah,

me 78 minutes. that's how long police in taxes waited in the hallway of you validate rob elementary school before entering the classroom, where the 18 year old killer was hold up. but by the time of the broke in 19 children and 2 teachers had already been killed. authorities say students and teachers repeatedly plated with 911 operators to help. while the place chief told officers to wait. president joe biden is due to visit you evolved on sunday. earlier he spoke about the shooting at the graduation ceremony in delaware. as i speak, those parents are literally preparing to bury their children in the united states, american to buried their children to which violence too much fear. too much grief. let's be clear.

even came to that elementary school classroom in texas to that grocery store in new york. far to many places or innocence have died. the face of such destructive forces, we have to stand stronger. we must stand strong. we cannot outlaw tragedy. i know we can make america safer. and john henry joins us now from houston, texas. john, how are people reacting to the police admission that basically they waited too long before intervening. well i'm outside of the interview convention is day to hear, but the protest dwindled. as you can see behind me, because the big day was yesterday when president trump's about the reaction across the state of texas across the us and in the community of you've all day is really

dramatic. people are very upset that it took police 78 minutes. well, over an hour, to respond to that school shooting. we have video that we have seen of parents taking outside, urging the police to go in there and rescue those children. and we hear gunshots in the background. and the police have acknowledged that they made a bad call a for some reason, the commander of that police unit said that he believed that this was a barricaded situation, where the gunman was isolated, not a threat to children. when in fact, he was in classrooms shooting and killing young children and 2 teachers 21 in all. throughout that hour and several minute period of time. meanwhile, children were phoning in on the 911 emergency line,

whispering risking their lives to speak out loud. do tell police, please come in when the police were standing outside and not coming into the room. so you can, as you can imagine, there's a lot of outrage about that lack of police response. it's not unlike what we saw in the parkland school shooting where a security officer stood outside and didn't enter the building. so who am castro is a local congressman here in texas? he's asked for an f b. i investigation into what happened. but nationally, there is just simply outrage it, the police did not go in sooner. and the suggestion is that children died who didn't need to die because police reacted so slowly. i guess we can see some of the outrage behind you in the protest. you reference john, how is that bank clash impacting the re

well, the concern out here in front of the, in our conference is the protesters want to see some kind of gun control. some limitations on weapons with the problem with the way the u. s. government operates, and i've been covering this since the 1999 columbine high school shootings in colorado when the n or a also had a meeting directly afterwards at that time that was nearby. in denver. the problem has been that congress has failed to act for 20 years. and right now there are not enough democrats who support some kind of limitations and can control. so they need to lower some republicans and you have to have a super majority in the us senate in order to get anything. it's non budgetary passed, and they simply don't have the votes right now. so they have to recruit some republicans . and what we've seen happen time after time, as your time is that these boats come up in the house, which is more in democratic control. you tend to see these things pass that get to the senate and they die. and, and i,

i must say there is very little optimism among those who really understand how congress works. there will be any change at all. president biden. would like to see it. most democrats in congress will see it, but likely we will not see this happen in the us even after this shooting. and the laws are likely to remain the same. and i should mention that here in texas, the was on guns have actually been loosened by the current governor greg got it. all right, thanks so much john henry, they're the well as the world braces for a food crisis brought on by the war and ukraine. russia's president says, he's willing to discuss ways to ship grain that stuck in ukraine's port in a phone call with the leaders of france and germany. let me put in said russia is ready to increase fertilizer exports. but only if sanctions are lifted, russia and ukraine account finality,

a 3rd of global weight supplies. ukraine is also a major exporter of cooking oil. k of has been unable to export those supplies, toothbrushes, invasion, and that st. global food prices soaring dosage of berries in moscow as more on putin's coal with my new micron and all our shoulds, the russian president told his counterparts, the status of the military operation in you talked about how and there are a number of issues with the ships that are carrying ukrainian wheat that have been stuck on in the black sea as a result of what the russians are saying are minds that are placed along the routes for them to leave in the black sea by the ukrainian military. now vladimir putin said that russia is willing to allow the passage of those ships are roughly around $300.00 of them and from the main port in odessa,

in ukraine. and that is something that is up for discussion. but as that is something, of course, that has to be done through the russian military. they presidents that russian president also talked about how the negotiations have stalled between the 2 sides as a result of the key of government not being serious and responding to at the offers that have been made by the russian negotiators, the last one being and made on april 15th vladimir putin also stressed that the weapons that are being poured into ukraine, especially by the united states, are really exasperating the situation on the ground than they are further destabilizing. the ongoing conflict between the 2 sides, the 3 leaders agreed to keep the line of communications open and the french and the german at leaders also were at seemingly satisfied by the answers given by the russian president about the status of the prisoners, the ukrainian military personnel that are being held as prisoners of war by the russian military along the ground in ukraine,

president of all of them. and then ski says the situation on the east in front of the stream. the difficult russian forces of advanced in the push to fully control the dumbass region. the areas in the held by russia and its separatist allies. the governor of the hunt says ukrainian forces may of 2 withdraw from their last pocket of defense to avoid being surrounded in the province of the city of savannah. don't yet, because seen some of the heaviest fighting russian forces are close to fully encircling it. now russia, defense ministry says its forces, now control lehman ukraine says fighting though is still ongoing near the city. and presidents and ski says russia is concentrating all it's 5 power on the dumbass, georgia, as expected, the situation in the dung backs is extremely difficult. the occupiers are trying to achieve the goals they hoped to achieve in the 1st days of the war after february,

government, even before he mentioned she's young. and she was at pains to emphasize that this was not an investigation that she simply did not have time in one single trip to investigate the scale of human rights concerned in china. but she said that the main things she seemed to have achieved was to engage in dialogue with the chinese government. and in this engagement to raise concerns about some of the policies that she mentioned, especially it's counter terrorism. and then the separatism policies in she and john and she talked about how she was able to visit a prison in cash. and what he called a v c t, a vocational training center or former vocational training center, and speak with some of the staff members who run that. and she said she was able to ask questions about this. and as a result of her visit, the best she could do it seems, was to raise the concerns and say, although these import, these are policy is what you say are important applied counter terrorism. it's

important that in implementing these policies that there are no human rights abuses taking place. now she also mentioned that before her trip, she was in contact with the loved ones of week families who had not been in contact with relatives. so looking desperately for information and she said that when she was injured in junk, she also raised those concerns with the young officials and encouraged them to be more transparent. and to provide information to these families and israeli rides group is demonstrating against the construction of a settlement outpost in the occupied westbank. police trying to disperse the protesters and confiscated to those who brought to demolish the outpost israeli government advisory. the jewish centers from the area in 2005, but a group of centers later returns knew that abraham is following developments from nambla. according to peace. now, activists we've been speaking to,
