sports 5 goals to help secure cities place in the quarter finals of european champions league. ah, we begin this news owl with one of the strongest storms to hit the southern hemisphere. tropical cyclone freddie has killed at least 225 people in malawi and displaced thousands. it's devastated parts of south east africa after making land fall at twice. it has mostly subsided now, but aid workers say the situation on the ground is still dire. tens of thousands of people have been displaced by flooding and lance lives. farmer, the miller reports from blan tire. there are many people in this area alone who are missing and i'm going to start by sipping out of chart to give you a better idea of what's going on. a just behind me a group of men digging in what is at least 3 or 4 meters deep mud for

possibly bodies. they just don't have any option. they say no help is come. the worst of the psych clone and the flooding, mud slides heavy when all that took place on monday and people have been missing for 3 days now. and the people here say it's been up to them to look for those who are missing. they haven't been any rescue teams in this area. they say for a short time on monday police were here, but they couldn't get through the very deep mud where they are now. that was a village. they would thousands of homes. it's now to the boulders, a mug, and only slightly higher on the high ground just behind them. all homes that have survived at least to some extent, though that flooding in those mud slides. but all those homes of damaged people haven't been able to stay in their homes. you've seen people try and recover whatever they can. and at the same time looking for those who are missing,

some people have relocated to a school on higher ground. and that's the best they can do at this point, what it is, just a game of wait and see, especially as they wait for some sort of response from the government. and that's the biggest complaint, little has been done to assist them. the government has said at least 550 people are missing across this region, including was in beacon, malawi, at least half a 1000000 people have been affected and tens of thousands displaced. this is really the difficulty that governments in this region are facing the ongoing rain here alone. it's rain for 6 days already. it's forecast that that road will continue for at least another 10 days. and it seems an inability to access some of these areas and a lack of capacity when it comes to rescue efforts. well, let's get more on this. now. we're joined by ross, monica bori, is an emergency coordinator with doctors without borders in malawi and he is

joining us from black tie. thank you very much for your time. i understand that your organization has put together a team of staff to provide support in malawi. can you tell us who they are and what their task was since this starting offer this a clue now after the safe learner? miss melissa, some medical looked toward us, our net sees and lucy, tim to support our printed up. it must be dollar in now blunt our, where we take care of more than our $700.00 addition. and aside her data, we township to provider what us if, what we're mission, that little sweeter laser at the city what i was caught, tougher after beside gland. and now in addition to data emitter fall provide on source from medical la, keep man and in mitty color dark. so display are, does the title for boost mission that are in need her after the shirts are deferred after the next hour?

the next the are offered. discipline in now ah, just be done. and what are your teams telling you about what they're finding in the hospital was in the communities after the say, good, now we send now some of our team to bless his men. and what did he, alizay's maker most of the blood that the lifted or mom didn't have her in e are pleased to sit except the, in some of the school and not just that was in the hi live in la. and now apart from that up to please suffering almost lia, due to lack of see if what her, as i see, or alia, and in addition, know the food, all sure data away, it not bad enough for where dusting that teaser most of the important thing about the, the tomorrow observe on the ground in that is shown on some more suspicion. now we're not able to access our medical care right now, just so after the cycling,

and this is all very concerning. i mean, the 1st point that you made about, you know, staying in places like schools are, is often a lack of clean washer and sanitary conditions in these places. after such natural disasters are what is doctors without borders doing to help contain the spread of color and they're given. malawi has been suffering from its worst outbreak on record and that was fallen tropical cyclone tropical storm. rather, anna, last year is pity to see that her manner we is lacking. i call it of oxygen. we depopulation of more than 20000000. all the country just got her 2900000 boozy sir last year. and this is not enough for our doctor. we don't, what aside are we tried to increase our capacity or infinities of it must be done that cannot accommodate our more and more will it up fission, ning better as the water of the cities cut off, we may expect to have our some more kisses in yet she do that where we decided to

double our capacity in term of for medical supply in human resources to we did in keesa, we are getting our more vision in that this journal we try as soon as possible to provide a safe water for some people that are left in non base schools and mr. campbell, i, one of the reasons health experts say connor has been so widely in malawi is because of a lack of vaccines. i mean, how did this happen? is this happened because are in no one wiser debt is not that lot of vaccine availability. and now because of the muscle for dia, dick lobby are not interested of reducing a lot of vaccine. that's where the country did not get enough for as a mini country lake nigeria cameron and other countries are also getting our kisa for college as this year. but i tinker, at some point the odd government should walk hot and tried to push to mix. would

that the credit of scenarios are 11, but can receive population lives in the near future? must have asked money come away from doctors without borders. joining us from land tire in malawi, we thank you very much for your time on this widia. patricia, thank you. moving on to other news now and at least 13 people have been killed in takia after flash floods at the southeast and region as kansas communities. they're trying to rebuild their lines fallen last month. devastating. earthquakes heavy rain since tuesday night have inundated the cities of shandy. or find antea mom schools and sean your fellow closed on wednesday. fenton monahan reports ah, this man had a fortunate escape. police rescue workers and civilians have been helping to save those stranded by floods in south eastern trickier. several people have died. in many areas, the emergency services were overwhelmed. you see this area is completely submerged

she's joining us from wall street and new york and renewed concerns about the banking sector question. what's caused credit suisse us? she has to full well, this latest decline and credit suisse is shares come after a report that its largest investor, the saudi arabia national bank, said that it wouldn't provide any more funding to credit suisse because it couldn't because of regulations. this comes after the swiss lender, which has a big presence here in the united states, said earlier this week that it was reviewing its financial statements over some possible issues in the last couple of years that has spooked investors and caused many of them to sell off their stocks and it has also prompted a new concerns about the banking sector here in the united states as well, with all of the major indices trading lower here in new york this morning on this

news. it has again, brought up these concerns because of what happened in the last week here in the united states. it all started with the failure of 2 bank silicon valley bank in san francisco and signature bank here in new york didn't have the funds on hand to cover rising interest rates that prompted a lot of concern about these smaller regional banks. but now also spreading to the larger banks like credit suisse as well. and investors are looking for safer places to put their money. there are also a putting their money into treasury bonds at record rates, and that's making those bonds less valuable, which is also worrying for the banking sector. so a lot of concern reflected here on wall street, but an attempt to calm the markets we heard from the chair of the securities and exchange commission in the united states is the regulator of the market,

saying that they will prosecute any banks or financial institutions that we're not following the rules or regulations to keep their investors save. also hearing from law makers in the united states that their want reforms to the laws governing some of these midsize bags as nervous eyes look to wall street here to see if this banking scale can be contained. all right, kristen, thank you for that. that is crystals and any joining us for the latest to live from wall street and new york. thank you. a brazen violation of international law. that's how the u. s. is describing the collision between one of its fi, drones and a russian fighter jet of the black sea that caused it to crash. the pentagon says the font a jet hit, the drones propeller. it says the military had to crash the amanda cross because of the damage. the u. s. insists the drawing was over international waters and pose no threat. the kremlin says relations with the us are in a lamentable state. the defense ministry denies that its jets came into contact

with the aircraft. the incident as the 1st thought direct encounter between the 2 military power since the ukraine war began. let's get the latest u. s. reaction, but our white house correspondent, kimberly hallett white house spokesman, john could be reiterating a very strong warning to russia on the u. s. morning shows today. kimberly yeah, that warning not to escalate tensions. john kirby national security spokesperson reiterating what was communicated to the russian ambassador to the united states after he was summoned by the state department on tuesday. the position of the united states is that it was flying in legal, a international airspace. and that it was conducting missions that are of the security and the national interest of the united states and of its own security

interests. and therefore, that it will continue to do so. and as a result, it is russia that needs to be more careful in the eyes of the united states. now in terms of this m q 9 surveillance drone, it's not been recovered. and according to john kirby, what he's saying is that it's likely that it never will be recovered. that's because it has fallen to the bottom of the black sea and because of the depths of those waters, it's likely to not be retrieved. now in terms of this incident domestically the political critics of. 8 president joe biden, the republican party, namely many of them, are not very happy about that. this incident for different reasons. the republican governor of florida rhonda santas is saying that this just underscores why the united states should not be involved in what some see here in the united states is a regional incident between ukraine and russia. in other words, that this is something that the united states has become entangled in that it

shouldn't be involved in. this is just an example of why the united states should disengage. but there are others on capitol hill like the republican senator lindsey graham, who say this is exactly the reaction that vladimir putin wants. and therefore, we should double down in terms of support. and the next time that russia does anything like this, the united states should shoot down a russian aircraft. so the response is here in the us, have been very different. what we should underscore is that when it comes to the support of the united states right now, the position of u. s. president joe biden is that when it comes to the defense of ukraine sovereignty with regard to russia's invasion of ukraine, the united states will continue to support ukraine in its defense for as long as it takes somebody. thank you very much for that. kimberly hawkins with a native life for us in washington, d. c. u. leah ship oven over as a journalist based in moscow and she has more rushes reaction to the incident.

laska is not looking for confrontation with washington. those are the, was of the russian and that to the us. but he went to and saying that russia considered the incident with the american train over the black, the a part of a cation, the ambassador, also the train, flying into line to area, allegedly collect intelligence that key and then use it was part of russian military positions. there are also some important reports right now that the forces of the russian life, the please of full steam ahead searching for the right page of the reed. but while the united states said that recall flight will continue that, that haven't been much information on the russian drug defense on the sheet. they was in the telegraph channel, but the m p 9 re patrol lee with the trunk pulled his hand off and it did. 1 violate the boundaries of the area of the so called temporary phase plum

established teacher russian special ed shock ration in ukraine. and they also said that in order to identify the flying object to russia, to find the trend of the ed defense, both the edge and plates crumbled that according to the defense ministry of the result of shot maneuver, any of q 9 us be went into an uncontrolled flight the local shoot and collided with the one of the black, the, somewhere over the crime in putting russian find it did not use on board weapon did not come into context. would be an aerial vehicle. american, you could safely returned to that whole case thought the fence editor alex good topless has more. the crashed reaper drawn. the am to 9 reaper is the world's 1st purpose built drone design for attack, as well as surveillance. it can stay up in the air for up to 14 hours. i can fly up to 15000 meters. it was 1st flown in combat in 2007,

and has the capability to stay in survey, a specific target area, sending back vast amounts of information to pilots and analysts on the ground, sometimes half way around the world. what made the report initially different from other drones was the fact that it was the 1st one designed to carry weapons. it cannot only survey targets, but destroy them if needed. this combination of surveillance and strike capabilities makes the young man vehicle a potent weapon able to operate night or day. some employees are visiting lecture and war studies at king's college london, and he doesn't think this incident will lead to a dangerous escalation between the us and russia. this is a very significant events, but it's probably container both in terms of the difficulty is going to cause. what is moscow thinking? well, the key distinction is whether this was ordered by the russian defense ministry or whether this was an accident or whether this was the initiative of the sequoia 27

russian pilots involved in the mid collision. we don't know, we may never know that, but other important thing is that the russians will consider this to be very beneficial because they will be taking that claim to, to the air around the black sea and above the black sea. because the americans are using the supervisor intelligence with whom i certainly assisting ukrainian war and probably helping them so partner allies like romania which are black, the little country. so i think the russians, even if they didn't order this, they will probably be quite glad to be destroyed and crushed into the waters very possible that the russian plains 27 which you know very maneuverable, very far into sets, is all bit quite old. now they may have been trying to, so i paul drawing very close to the drawing. they may have been trying to let me see they are trying to disrupt the flight path. if the report of the don't think the fuel is accurate, but it's possible they quit, sit by the move. i mean,

if you will, the clipper on purpose as the pilot, one of the fall sign itself is a very dangerous, very risky maneuver tear or neck. ralph, but as we understand the rushing across a lot destroyed, to the extent to which they were damaged, we don't know that may also be a face. they think oh, by the americans to say, well, you brought down all adroit and but you would damage director often in time, but we can, we can't verify this accurately. to block a saw malware, a court ordered police to hold the arrest of former prime minister and long con until thursday. being 10 seems to be a compound an officer who trying to arrest him. he's face and dozens of challenges including corruption, which he says a politically motivated command. hyper has more from his lama. ron khan's party had gone to court, saying that heavy handed tactics were being used against the residence of enron font. read the support and dad, and the court. i started heading into the origin partition that was

filed by the budget on derek and south. i did an order that the police sure not to carry out any further operations on 15 d m. d on the 3rd day. now all so important to know that for the last 24 hours, the police and supporters of him ron fawn, had been scuffling, basically scuffling, broke out after the police, tried to arrest them earlier yesterday by their subordinate then responded to police. dear guy, thing with rock throwing and that of god exacerbated the situation, but political tensions are very high indeed. no one knows what is going to happen within the next few days. and although the government is determined to address them, ron con, they have not been able to do so despite their best effort, i haven't called in day paramilitary forces and read. so indeed,

high drama being played out, i in pakistan. and of course, as a result, there been protest and other parts of the country last night and read. the british government says it will provide struggling families with $115000000000.00 in cost of living support this year. during his budget announcement, finance minister, jeremy holmes said inflation was at the root of fi. some strikes. he said, inflation rates would fall from almost 11 percent under 3 percent this year hung toll parliament. the british economy is now on the right track from to find country the u. k. will not now enter a technical recession this year. oh, the very we will meet the prime minister's priorities to home inflation, reduce debt and get the economy growing. we are following the plan and the plan is

working. yeah. i'll cost monetary for joining us live from london. plenty of optimism there from the chancellor, harry. but do many others share it? well that would be the question, i think for those who are still struggling with a major cost of living crisis in this country, you had the from the chance to the finance minister here that the economy would not be going into a technical recession. that means 2 quarters of consecutive negative growth. that's obviously different from what was being forecast towards the end of last year when he took the reins. but it still represents a 0.2 percent shrinkage of the economy. over the course of this year, he said that inflation would be going down from a higher 10.7 percent last year. the end of last year to 2.9 percent by the end of this year. again, a major improvements on the original forecasts,

but still in the midst of a period where we've seen inflation outstripping wage growth by a very large margin, and many people feeling the pinch, he did offer some support in terms of fuel fuel bills. the government assistance in that area would continue for an extra 3 months. you said until the end of july, meaning that the average u. k. household energy bill would be restricted to a maximum of $3600.00 per year until then at that point, the expectation is that the, the gas market prices will see a decline in those prices in any case and is made you message was one of trying to get people back to work. young parents, they'll be agent eventually by the state in child care, extending free child care for those who qualify it. kids often very young children and babies age 9 months and upwards up until 5. that is something that's only been

available to those older than that 34, and 5 years old, up until now. so that is a huge intervention. also, he's scrapped the top limit on taxing on pension parts. so any money you have a pension will be tax free. that's trying to get 50 year olds and above back into the workforce to try and help up those pension plots. he wants more people working and being productive in this economy. and there are a lot of offerings in the budget on the harry that is seen as an attempt to perhaps even, you know, both says, is this a budget, a test for the conservative government, or rather how much of a test is it? would that cost of living crisis with labor gaining in the polls? it's a big test. as you say, labor has an extremely healthy lead in the polls. most posters give them an excess of 20 percentage points cushion over the conservatives ahead of this budget. just one in 10 people according to one po, believe that this budget would do much to improve their own economic circumstances

. 6 in 10 not, but i do apologize. we've lost our connection with a harry full set correspondent in london, just going over the u. k. the budget announcement for us, let's move on. still ahead on the news out. his executive order helps keep firearms out of dangerous hands. who as president joe biden issues and executive order that he has some help would use gun violence. and the tennis action coming up in schools, the lowest number one player is closing in on another title, is weight ah

paris natasha with unions hoping that demonstrations will further show workers opposition to the government plan. yes, deed and things just got little bit tense. a few moments ago police and some protesters crashing some o t gas still in the air, but things certainly calm down now and thousands people. you can see that behind me are walking across the city that joining in this nationwide protest, the 8 since the beginning of the year, against the french government proposed pension reform plan. what people say here with this protest is those performs on fed, they will effect poor workers much more than the others. and that simply on just they're also very upset about a, one of the paul to the reform that would see the retirement age be raised by 2 years from most people to 64 people say ready. life is hard enough without having to work even longer. one of the most visible signs, over the past few days,

i have to say of the strikes and the protests, a piles of garbage that have been a mass thing and not any powers, but cities across france, many the main cities that have been absolutely paul's garbage in many the streets, rustic is garbage. collectors are on strike. they say they continue their action until monday, making the situation very difficult. indeed, for people living in those cities, the mays of some of those cities are trying to work out how they can get rid of some of this garbage. because maybe the incinerator is also being picketed by garbage collectors, garbage workers. but it's all designed to put more pressure on the government to try and scrap its reform and the protest coming ahead of a crucial day for the government in france. natasha. well, what we might see here on thursday is this pension reform that is so contested. here on the streets actually being passed in the parliament,

it's not certain that the french government could call for a vote on this pension reform that's been happening is pricing micro will say this reform is necessary because the pension system, he says, is too costly, too complex. his party do not have the majority in the french pol them, it's over the last few weeks they've been having to try and gain support form conservative, mainly conservative politicians to try and back this report. if they feel they have enough employees on site, they might call for a vote on thursday in parliament. and at that point, if they win it then face pension reform is effectively passed and it will become a law. now if they decide not to play with that vote, they can continue with the debates and parliament to pull that vote at a later date. either way. trade union said they will continue to party just even if the reform is passed through because they say that they feel it's a reform that is simply on fact natasha. thank you very much for that. that is

natasha battle over the latest her, at the protests and paris, thank you. to lebanon now with a governor of the country. central bank has refused to appear before judges who, conducting a multi national, proven to his personal wealth. the ad salami is accused of embezzlement, but he claims he's being made, escaped, call it for lebanon's economic problems. zayna other reports from beirut. it's a high profile case involving the long serving governor of lebanon central bank, who is being investigated for allegations of financial wrong doing. european judges came to bay route to question react salami. but he didn't show up. his lawyers argue the foreign inquiry violates the sovereignty of lebanon's, judiciary and conflicts with a domestic investigation looking into the same case. but those involved in the anti corruption battle, se salamis actions show, he continues to enjoy backing from top level politicians and this trying to evade

justice. well, why is the war it? if he, if he's right and he's going that i think why he didn't came good, come today on the book to prove with the documents at the bottom with all the the proofs that he has that he's innocent. salami denies any wrongdoing and says he is being blamed for lebanon's financial crisis. but critics say he is part of a political class accused of stealing the states money for years. i wouldn't say he is the only responsible. he is one of the most responsible for, for the scholars because, you know, as a sensitive, been governor, he had the power and authority to put the pressure on the government to sort of the land has been governor since 1993. and despite allegations of fraud, he continues to make monetary decisions with no serious calls for his removal.

hello me is also facing charges in lebanon. but despite someone, a travel bad and a subpoena issued against the last year, he never appeared in court. many in the country have long complained about the problem of political influence over judges, but your investigators are not backing down. she said they are uncovering a larger network around. so let me is investigation in europe are extending their, extending to a wider network of corruption and now it's becoming in the interest of many other politicians 11 to shut down these investigations. no official has been held to account for the financial collapse that has nearly bankrupted the states and drove many into poverty. the international investigation seems to open the door for some accountability than who their elders either. they root. wednesday mark's 12 years since peaceful protests began,

basic human rights, but instead of listening to us, the syrian regime chose to wipe out the country when the un estimates more than 400000 people have been killed since the conflict ruptured with over 13000000 fling, refugees are becoming internally displaced, they say that despite their desperate situation, they remain hopeful for a brighter future for the next generation journal, on the last, the people who prefer to live in these harsh conditions rather than under our subs rule, we have the saying that we shall perish, but the syrian regime won't rule us. many still hold that the years of struggle were necessary, no matter the consequence of the gothic hum to believe that what a view does the rebuilding against the state was in fact, unavoidable. given us our don't abuse of power and condition or be kept in neutral re yes,

and what's going on with actually stopping now is never an option. the uprising expose the true face of the international community as well as the true face of this regime. if you asked me if i would have chosen the path 12 years ago, i would have said absolutely yes. even though we lost so many companions along the way, there are sacrifices will not go in vain. if we stop now, our children pay a far greater price. i shall, i'm off on mac and it's only a mean margin in it in spite of the absence of long term solutions and hum to aspire to a peaceful life for his children, sir, is our ordering the 12 anniversary of the uprising a day that are gone to represent hope and resilience for them. although no one of the road ahead would be longer difficult. they say that they will never give up on till they're fulfill their goal. no, come on the ra, a blip. the syrian president is in russia where he met vladimir putin. it's the leader's 1st official visit outside the middle east sentence,

devastating earthquakes. and sylvia, last month, the meeting comes as russia steps up, its efforts to prepare, tie us between to kia and syria. earlier as i lay to read the tomb of the unknown soldier at the walls of the kremlin, what would you want now by matawan? bashar al jazeera is a senior political analyst and he's live for us from london. very good to see might one. is it fitting better as that is in moscow on the anniversary of an uprising he wouldn't have survived without putin support i guess it. ringback is i think he definitely needs to pay a tribute for his patron in moscow, the man who was responsible for saving him in serving his regime, ah, vladimir putin. we all know that if russia did not intervene back in 2015 for president, thus said that his regime went on the brink of collapse. or even the moderate

opposition was very strong. but so was a radical opposition within the country. and there was a great momentum within the region and outside in favor of change in syria. but of letting me put in, decided to intervene as he did in basis like chechnya. and he decided to maintain that the regime as a client of russia and you know, to some degree, 8 years later, yet he seems to have succeeded. and as you say, 8 last 8 years later, here we are one relations between polluted and an asset of the norm. but why a countries in the middle east now seemingly normalizing relations for the asset vision, dental, it's mostly pragmatism and some of it is maneuvering. but i can make it because a lot of them understand because of their failure and because of failure of almost

every one or everybody involved in this issue, the last 12 years, everyone basically have failed to varying degrees from the opposition to the i said, the regime on russia, but be that as it may, there is a failure. and 12 years later i said, is in control of much of the country. and i think some of them just want to get on with it as it were a normalize. and some of them also would want to influence that behavior of the i said the regime now that it's at its weakest in terms of a failed state that celia has become an o, his need for investment and for aid on and so on, so forth. so they were hoping to influence his attitude, especially towards iran, which they hope that there would be bigger influences on what goes on in the country. van daron, given the crimes that as that has carried out in theory,

what can the international community do on to ensure that the racial doesn't return to the international fold devoid of consequences for what it's done. this is the thing right, elizabeth. when it comes to the question of syria, here, men, iraq, i would even say ukraine. there is no such a thing as nathan national community. when any such issue or conflict involves a superpower with a veto power at the united nations security council. when it can have so much following in the world or in the region, i think the idea, the issue, the principle of international communities ceases to exist. and hence, now we do have the united states and most of its european allies that continue to insist that a 2nd cannot be normalized and he needs to pay out for his crimes. and they have

imposed sanctions. and there are not lifting the sanctions until such day whereby they can either influence the developments within syria, for example, leading to elections on the likes or getting rid of us. that on the other hand, we have russia, china, and a whole bunch of others, including some in the region like the and i think that of immigrants and others who want to normalize relations with our side and one to impose him and his regime despite his 12 years of depression and bloodshed in order to simply bring him back to the fold for the time being the arab league is holding off because saudi arabia, because of western american pressure, i don't know how long this would be, but it wouldn't be an arthur tragedy. if the i said the resume is normalized once again, while hundreds of thousands of series have died and millions remain either refugees or displaced at sas, senior political analyst, mad one,

beside joining as life and london. thank you. as always, for your insights, madeline, appreciate it. us president joe biden has issued an executive order, tightening background checks on firearms. the aim is to reduce gun violence bite and made the announcement in los angeles suburb, which was the scene of a shooting. 2 months ago. john henry report from monterey park in california in a town still morning. a recent mess shooting president joe biden offered what little he could for new gun controls. the president issued an executive order he can enact alone with limited effect. her name time my executive direct, my attorney general will take every lawful action possible possible to move us as close as we can to universal background checks without new legislation. the action orders the department of justice to crack down on gun sellers who failed to perform background checks and to pursue former weapons dealers whose licenses have been

revoked but still sell. it asks the federal trade commission to issue a report on gun makers marketing to miners, and it asks his administration to find ways to treat mass, shooting scenes like natural disasters or giving federal aid to those affected because our arkansas and the culture of our community. we have been very quiet and we have been kind of neglected. so for us to receive this, a lot of attention and the support that we do to day means a lot fraud. but major changes in us firearm laws require action from a hopelessly deadlocked congress with nearly all republicans opposing stricter gun measures. it was here in january at the now closed star dance hall in monterey park that 72 year old, who con tron shot, 20 people killing the 11 in this asian american community. tron was disarmed at his 2nd dance hall and fatally shot himself as police closed in trans access to a mac,

10 semi automatic weapon allowed him to kill here with speed and efficiency. last year, congress did pass the 1st modest gun restrictions and 3 decades, among other things, they enhanced background checks for 18 to 21 year olds, but they've done little to slow the pace of mass shootings in america. in the past several months, there had been dozens of other mass shootings, killing 20 wanted a school. and you've all the texas 10 black new yorkers and a racially motivated shooting spree at a supermarket in buffalo and 7 at a parade in highland park. illinois. paying tribute to the victims of monterey park bite and renewed calls from major new gun controls, including a ban on military style assault weapons. universal background checks and repeal of the immunity for most lawsuits that congress gave to gun makers in 2005. so let's finish the job ban assault weapons ban them again. new and now i'm nuff. do something do something big. but with little hope of congress approving any of those

measures, nothing that comes out of washington is likely to prevent mass shootings like the one that happened here. john henderson, al jazeera, monterey park, california. we have a sports news til ahead on the news. our will have details of a backward breaking night for this manchester city plan. ah ah

that number in a single campaign. ah, this is the season with his team heading towards of 7 nil when and a place in the quarter finals. holland was taken off so he could rest his legs, will even bigger game to come on, especially some respite for leipzig, coach mark or osa, who managed to holland at boucher document last season. he scored goals with the full t school score goes with the head a he one second ball. she made deep ransom her. so it looked a really simple to night and i think he took the ball from the referee. it means it was a special night. he foreigners start talents. next target will be to lead city to their 1st champions, league, title, son, hum. most all dizzier our goal is draw in portugal was enough for inter milan to

edge past portal and tuesdays other last 16 tie inter just held on to the fair one nel advantage from the 1st, like around a metty to remy, had the poster cross bar an injury time for porto, inter are it's free to the last 8 for the 1st time since 2011. for those top decision makers are in rwanda for the annual meeting of the sports world governing body fif ash. it's been decided that the next world cup will include a record $104.00 matches. and lastly, 6 weeks, but 2026 tournaments will take place across 3 countries. the usa, canada, and mexico. morocco made its own big announcement in kigali, the north african nation is joining up with spain and portugal in a 3 country bid for the 2030 world cup. rocco has previously failed in 5 bids to host the tournament. argentina, chile, paraguayan. your why have also submitted a joint plans house, the events, the 2030 house are set to be named next year. and then like maybe your part. all

day support is that constitute the main challenge. the revised format of 2026 approved unanimously yesterday by the council will probably not change in 2013. so will go for was groups for. busy what each with many, many games so go hosting is a good option that. ringback that the location will be close to each other. and what is more interesting is that probably the 1st time africa in europe will be organized in it. what's even that size to get? i think that morocco has a good infrastructure. all the main to do would be leased by have between by 2030 which is that of the world cup. so morocco is not ready and will be even more ready in 7 years. for sure. especially that account we can count on the experience of our potential go home, spain and portugal. i think everybody's excited morocco to, to be candidates and everybody was support. this can do the seats. so we hope we
