us senators agree on a bipartisan gun control deal, but it fall short of tough a step sought by president fight. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera life go all set coming up. france votes for new parliament with projections putting a manual. macros ought to neck and neck with united left to the alliance for political uncertainty in iraq, the biggest block in parliament resigned of the formation of a new gun. and search teams and brazil said they found belongings of the 2 men missing in the amazon. as hopes fate of finding them alive with a bipartisan group of us senators as agreed our framework for new gun control laws . it's aimed at curbing rising gun violence and will keep weapons away from people deemed to be a threat. but critics had the mattress. don't go far enough. mike reports from
8:02 am
washington d. c. the framework agreement follows weeks of closed door negotiations in the senate. it's one of the 1st bipartisan gun control agreements in decades. we haven't had significant federal legislation in nearly 30 years. so having a framework announced, having 10 republican senators, long with 10 democrats signing off on that, which would avoid the filibuster in the united states senate. it's a really big deal. the tentative agreement has been welcomed by president biden, who's tweeted, i want to thank senator chris murphy and the bipartisan group for the gun safety proposal that does not do everything that i think is needed. but it reflects important steps in the right direction with bipartisan support. there are no excuses for delay. let's get this done. but some don't want it done. i think it's deeply disappointing that republican leadership decided to get in lead with the
8:03 am
democratic conference in the senate to put together a gun control bill. you know, that should be a huge red flag for republican voters going into the fall. significant proposals include incentives for states to pass so called red flag laws, which allow a judge to decide whether a gun via or owner poses a potential threat to others. federal background checks and buyers and to $21.00 would include access to their records as minors and federal funding for mental health care and increase school security. so, but these measures for well short of what's being demanded by gun control. advocates including president biden himself at rallies across us saturday. calls were made for a bad on the sale of semi automatic weapons and high capacity magazines. and for the age at which an individual can buy a rifle range from $18.00 to $21.00. to match the existing federal law concerning
8:04 am
hand guns, assault rifles were used in the mast shootings and you've all the texas and in buffalo, new york. in each case they were wielded by 18 year olds. the senators have set an informal goal of passing the bill before the 24th of this month when congress goes on a 2 week recess. but with the legislation still not fully written, it's unlikely that this goal will be met and it's certain that the modest suggestions will do little to ease the mounting pressure on politicians to pass meaningful gun control measures or face the consequences in november's mid term elections. mike hannah al jazeera washington will penney aka motor is the executive director of survivors empower. that's a support group for gun violence victims. she says american parents want significant changes to gun laws in the united states. we just were witness to be

her refix, match shooting of 19 kids and teachers, and had to remember that these kids were so badly shot that they had his dna to identify their bodies. now what's happening at estates is that parents are scared witless. that when they put their get their kids to bed to night, sunday night to morrow morning and monday they're going to have to wake up and find their kids here or some other form of dna to use to identify their bodies. so if the republicans or democrats think that this is enough, they're going to be very disappointed because it's not on the bill. does a couple of good things. the bill does actually close the dating partner local. sometimes it's called the boyfriend local. it does that. that was actually part of our and i think it will be part of this bill that's good. and the bill also provides funding to community violence intervention programs. but this is a very tiny drop in the bucket. and that have a very,
8:06 am
very big bucket. parents are republican parents, democratic parents, all parents across unit skate states are truly frightened. we get phone calls all the time, and people keep using the words, they're angry, but also they're nauseated because they know you know how easily this could happen to their children. and they are frightened that congress will do nothing substantial to stop this. there is no assault weapons ban. there's no band on high capacity magazines. there's no licensing, there's no registration. and we know that these are things that must happen to take serious action to start to cut a gun violence in the united states. french president emanuel macros coalition donned its left ring, rival a neck and neck. and the 1st round of frances legislative elections. projections suggest michael's party should win more seats but could lose its overall majority. as natasha butler reports, the president faces competition left alliance, but bushel look manish. all the french president looked to relaxed as he voted in the coastal resort of little k. but a man who am i call faces
