ramadan light has been in stapling garza for many years with ongoing conflict and frequent outbreaks of violence. the international community has repeatedly expressed concern about the rising tensions in the occupied territory. the united nation has also expressed concern, but about the potential impact of any conflict on those in costa, whose lives are already the care. yes. ah and goes on a shooting spree inside the bank in the us state of kentucky, killing 5 people. ah, clem. so robin watching old is there a lot of my headquarters here and also coming up the rest of the philippines. stuff

up the defense alliance as they share concerns over china's dominance and the reach and also abandoned it. see, the italian coast guard carries out an operation to rescue to base carrying hundreds of people. brazil's president is heading to china to discuss trade hands, the war in ukraine. ah, welcome to the program. we begin in the us where 5 people have been shot dead in the state of kentucky. please say a 23 year old man opened fire inside the bank or he walls and employee. several others were injured including a police officer. now the gunman was also killed in the shooting john 100 reports. the gunshots ring out in downtown louisville prompting police to warn passers by to take cover. the police

arrived within 3 minutes of an 8 30 am call that a gunman was firing inside old national bank smashing through the glass of the lock bank. they engaged the gunman, killing him. officers arrived on scene and encountered the suspect almost immediately sco fire and gun gunshots. officers exchanged gunshots with that suspect, and ultimately the suspect die at the scene. but by that time, 4 people were killed in a bank, where kentucky's governor keeps an account. a 5th victim died later. we lost 4 children of god. today, one of whom was one of my closest friends. tommy eliot helped me build my law career. helped me become governor. gave me advice on being a good dad. one of the people i talked to most in the world, and very rarely are we talking about my job. he was an incredible friend.

9 victims had been taken to the hospital including 3 police officers, one shot in the head. the gunman has been identified as connor sturgeon, a 23 year old bank employee. police say he stream the entire attack on social media . hours later, a swat team searched his home. let's be clear about what this was. this was an evil act of targeted violence on day 100 of 2023. it was the $146.00 mass shooting of the year according to the gun violence archive. a little over 2 hours later, another gunman killed demanded a louisville community college and fled. police say it was unrelated john henry and al jazeera and say in the us in the state of tennessee, a democratic lawmaker who was expelled, has not been reinstated. nashville city council voted unanimously to allow justin james to return the state house a monday. republican politicians expelled jones and another young black democrat

legislator last week over the gun control protest on the house floor. they would demonstrate to you over the legislatures stance on gun control, following a mass shooting at a private school. 6 people were killed in that attack, including 3 children. robust shock, a body is tennessee, senate minority leader. she explains why they're expulsion by the republican lead house was extreme. i think expulsion is one of the most drastic and extreme actions that can be taken against the law maker. and it should only be used for the most severe actions and behaviors like committing a crime or, you know, causing some sort of physical damage to the structure or threatening or causing physical violence against another member. but these 2 young men were expelled and it completely negated the wishes of their voters. and just for simple breach of

decorum. and so i think it is encouraging that the national metro council reinstated justin jones this evening. and that just in pearson will be reinstated by the shelby county commission in memphis. on wednesday, the, the philippines on the us have launch the largest joint military drills more than 17000 forces are participating in the exercises, which will take place over the next 2 weeks. chinese government has warned the philippines against fronting the us access to more military facilities. while the below chose is stuff outside all the headquarters in middle are. so we know the forces are large. we know that the exercises are the largest ever between the 2 countries. but significant consider the rise and tension, but in the sort of geopolitical region that we're talking about. that's right. so hale definitely significant in terms of the timing here. the

international community definitely will be watching closely these ballot them exercises as they're coming off right off the bat of 3 days of military drills by china in taiwan street in response to taiwan president i in was visit to the us also later today a 2 plus 2 ministerial meeting, 3 in the philippines and the u. s. in washington, d. c. on monday, a u. s. washing sales near the mischief breed where china had built a man made island, but this area is very close to the philippines. a lot happening in this region, definitely heightened tension so you can understand so hail how these exercises could be seen as provocative. but keep in mind, these exercises are an annual exercises, and they have been planned for months and months. but still, jaime here is very significant, and as you mentioned, to scale, also very significant, 17005000 from the philippines of 1000, from the u. s. and other 100 or so from australia as well as observers from other

regional allies, all participating in these ballot then exercises. also for the 1st time life fire exercises at seats in the south china sea of the province of some ballast in the northern philippines. there will be a simulation of the sinking of a decommissioned ship, which will serve as a market enemy ship. so again, the significance here, the timing, the scale sa hill, of course i just saw international views. barnaby. we had to remind them that the philippines was once a colony of a colonial power. i. e, the usaa relationship and the connections are deep and historical. so there's always a controversial, perhaps a reaction from local people as to the type of relationship these 2 country should have and the depth of the military association that they have. that's right. so hail ha. in fact,

there were protests earlier. it's quite right now, but there were dozens of protesters here just more minutes ago. and there were 2 other protests right in front of the u. s. embassy. and these protestors were saying that they do not want a repeat of history. philippines played holes to an air, an air base, a u. s. air base, and a u. s. naval base for years and years. and they say that this contributed to cases of sexual exploitation, of abuse, of abandoned aberrations. and they cite the recent case of a transgender woman who was murdered by a u. s. service man in civic bay, which was the old r u. s. naval base. and so they said that they do not want a repeat of these cases, but also they're concerned that the philippines will give the u. s. military more access to its b says all around the country for additional b says kid access to these b says given to the u. s. military. now,

3 of these bases are in the north, close to taiwan and they say that they do not want the philippines getting dragged into a conflict that the philippines has got nothing to do with. so a lot of concerns here, but the survey after survey has shown that filipinos b were americans over the chinese. and a survey. january also showed that filipinos overwhelmingly support a hosting of security ties between the philippines and the us. so hail i for me, for the up there, probably like the 4th in manila, the pentagon officials say the leak of classified us defense documents is a very serious risk of national security. the documents have appeared on several websites in recent weeks, and they cover a wide range of topics of interest to american policy makers, including details about ukrainian air strikes, la countries, air defense vulnerabilities, it even expose as a size of some ukrainian military units. the descriptions of the russian mercenary

wagner groups allege contact with turkey and haitian government officials predictions about china's potential response to ukrainian strikes inside russia. on assessment that pill yang has likely exaggerated its intercontinental ballistic missile threat to the u. s. while my counter reports now for washington, d. c, the documents appear to include sensitive information regarding the war in ukraine . in particular, us intelligence assessments up the performance of both ukrainian and russian forces . the pentagon has confirmed that many of the documents appear to be in the similar format used to provide updates to senior leaders, which would imply the leaks occurred at a high level. i'm just not going to get into the specifics specifics of this beyond saying what you've heard others across the inner agency say, which is that the department of the fence and the intelligence community are reviewing and assessing the validity of these documents. there is no question of

course that they present a risk to national security, but i'm just not going to get into specific. the leak of the documents was 1st reported by the new york times. and in addition to revealing intelligence about the war in ukraine, they also expose the extent of us eavesdropping on key allies, including israel and south korea. the reaction in capital like sol has been angry, spilling over into the south korean national assembly. we will kill way to you. we strongly regret that the top us intelligence agency has been illegally spying on allies like our country. we strongly demand a thorough investigation and urge that similar incidents do not occur. the white house isn't a mode of fool damage control, and the national security council has confirmed that us officials have been in touch with relevant allies and partners. given disclosures in the department of justice is, is a leading a criminal investigation. so we're taking this very,

very seriously, there is no excuse for these kinds of documents to be in the public to meet. and while the department of justice continues its investigation into the source of the leagues senior us officials will not rule out the possibility that more documents could be made public. my cannot al jazeera washington. the major esc opperation is underway in the mediterranean sea, where the italian coast guard is assisting to migrant boats with 1200 people on board. now the international organization for migrations as the central mediterranean has now become the most dangerous journey in the world. but despite the dangers, is the most commonly used for migrants and refugees attempting to reach europe. so kyra reports now on the latest rescue operation. another boat, another rescue mission on the mediterranean sea. this time, 400 people on board, including women and children, stranded between greece and malta,
