united states and around the world. cnn "newsroom" starts right now. 4:00 a.m. heren the osu east coast. washington, d.c. is pointing the finger at iran for attacks that knocked out half of saudi arabia's oil capacity. here's what happened. iranian houthi rebels fighting a war in yemen say they hit two oil facilities with drones. but a u.s. source with knowledge of the incident tells cnn there are signs the attacks came from inside iraq. "the wall street journal" reporting officials are looking at whether cruise missiles fired from iraq were used instead. the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo holds iran responsible tweeting this. tehran is behind nearly 100 attacks on saudi arabia while president rouhani and foreign minister zarif pretend to engage

in diplomacy. amid all the calls for de-escalation, iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply. washington has provided no evidence to back pompeo's claim. iran's semi-official news agency is rejecting it. that's get the latest from the region live in abu dhabi. first we start in iran with senior international correspondent nick paton walsh. again, the united states blaming iran despite houthi rebels claiming they did this, claiming responsibility. what is the reaction so far that you're hearing there? >> reporter: yeah. breaking news, george, from the spokes from iran's foreign ministry. he says in a statement that such blind accusations and inappropriate comments in a diplomatic complex are in

comprehensible and meaningable. the saudi coalition has attacked and committed all kinds of war crimes and kept it going. in a diplomatic context, this needs a certain degree of credibility and reasonable frameworks that u.s. officials have also violated basic principles. so a very strong reaction from iran. i have to say secretary pompeo has made a very stark accusation against iran. but within those two tweets, under 300 characters or so, provided no evidence thus far to back it up. there have been officials n anonymously briefing that this may have been come from southern iraq. the target of this, oil facilities substantially hit by what appear to be makeshift drone attacks. extraordinary use of off-the-shelf customizable

technology. they have stopped short to point the finger at iran themselves. perhaps if they did, they might be forced into some sort of response. there are questions about quite how this extraordinary amount of damage could have been performed by the houthi rebels in yemen. there are about 500 or so kilometers, miles away from those particular facilities and have to fly across a lot of saudi airspace to get to them. the saudis spent billions on air defenses. nothing is impossible, though. and many experts have pointed how the houthis's grasp of technology may have been escalated enormously than in years past. the key issue is where is the evidence for the accusations that iran was behind this. i'm paraphrasing here.

what iran is about doesn't suddenly mean everything the houthis do iran also did. a lot pointing at similar mistakes in a run-up to the iraq war. accusations pointed towards iran without evidence to back it up. so much of the pressure pointed toward the u.s. to see how they can necessarily level the statements they're making here with the evidence perhaps to back it up. george? >> to your point, it is interesting to note the far semi news agency say they have the capability to carry out an attack. nick paton walsh giving us the latest reaction from iran. now, john in abu dhabi. let's keep an eye on how the markets are responding at this point. what are you seeing so far? >> reporter: well, the stock markets, george, trading on sunday in the middle east are

down. the saudi index down 2%. uae down 1%. not a shock. stock markets open up in asia monday morning. i would expect a sharp drop as a result of what we have seen here. this is an audacious attack. they produce just under 10 million barrels a day. 16 hours ago, officials were giving me guidance that production hit was about 5 million barrels a day. that moved up in the last 16 hours to 5.7 million barrels a day, 6% of global supplies and enough to rattle global markets. of course when they start trading on monday, i think also to put this in wider context, saudi arabia provides normally 10%. this is major. since i have covered the energy markets way back to the 1990 invasion of kuwait, you could add iran ya-iraq war, invasion

of iraq, the overflow of gadhafi, we have never seen a single day hit of this scale, george, of better than 5 million barrels a day. it does raise the question, as nic underlined there, they have spent billions of dollars trying to protect these very key facilities. it is the largest in the world. the oil field is the second largest. it is hard to put it in context as far as scale. we are looking at an old field 100 kilometers lodge. the fact that they could hit at this sort of level is quite shocking. >> getting a sense of the scale there. houthis claiming responsibility. the u.s. pointing the finger at iran. iran saying, hey, it wasn't us. nick paton walsh and john with a look at the markets. we'll keep in touch with you. let's put this in broader

context with bobby gosh with bloomberg this hour in london. good to have you with us. >> hi, george. >> john just set us up with this. the saudi energy minister says the attacks on the iran co facilities led to the interruption of 5.7 million barrels, about 50% of that company's crude oil supply. needless to say, this is significant. is it reasonable to expect we could see pain at the pump, a spike in prices because of this attack? >> reporter: in the short-term, i think it is almost inevitable. as your reporters said, this amounts to 6% of global production. there is some spec capacity in the u.s. but to organize the kind of sales and contracts that would be required on such short notice doesn't happen that quick. we expect a spike at the pump in

the short return. then producers and suppliers around the world will see who can plug the gap. we have to see how long this 5.7 billion barrels will be offline. saudis said they will have a better sense in the next 48 hours. we don't know. it could be a matter of days. it could be longer than that. if it is longer than that, the futures begin to get affected. so, yeah, i think we should brace for a spike. >> right now the finger pointing game ensues. houthi rebels have claimed responsibility. the united states pointing the finger at iran inside. iran pointing back to the houthis. keeping in mind, bobby, they support rebel groups, militias. if we have a map to see how wide in the region iran has its sway there. the question here, given that tehran points out there is no evidence to prove that they are

behind this, it is interesting to see the united states still pointing the finger at iran. >> reporter: yes. and i think that's -- and the fact that secretary of state pompeo specifically said there's no evidence the houthis did this but they think the iranians did this suggests he has some sort of material proof of this. and i think the international community will be waiting to see what that evidence looks like. to some of us it is six of one and half dozen of the other. it is a distinction without a difference. because the houthis do operate quite frequently within parameters set for them by the iranian revolution guards, irgc, and quite often are using iranian-supplied equipment, including some of these drones. it might be the houthis did this on orders or perhaps this was from iraq, where iran has a

number of shia militias and where iran has moved some of its missiles. if it turns out it will be a missile, it will be harder to sustain the idea that the houthis did this. houthis have history of striking with drones over quite a bit of distance. they have missiles, but they have not executed a strike of this nature. was comes down to that point, was it a drone or missile? if it was a missile, it probably came from eiraq. do you expect saudi arabia to respond in yemen, which is already a bloody warren tangling so many civilians there? >> reporter: yes. unfortunately, that is a factor. we would expect the saudi government would be under pressure to retaliate in some fashion. it's not clear to me that would help very much. they have already bombed yemen

to within an inch of its life. there is not a lot more that it can do or it has proven it can do except for empty symbolism. the houthis have dug in and are now holding their positions. the saudi war effort is now several years and has not shown the kind of progress that saudi would have liked to have seen. there will probably be some retaliation. whether that will move the needle or not, i'm not optimistic. bobby ghosh, good to have you. thank you so much. >> reporter: thanks for having me. dramatic images coming out of the state of new jersey. take i look at the scene after a massive deck collapsed in wildwood saturday evening. two levels. they all fell and gave way there. at least 22 people were injured. local media report that it happened during the city's annual firefighters weekend with several firefighters among those who were hurt.

the united states says one of osama bin laden's sons has died. still ahead, how it happened and why the u.s. sees this as a win. plus, relief efforts in the bahamas are again running up after another storm passes by the islands. we'll tell you what's next for that area. as cnn "newsroom" continues.

welcome back to cnn "newsroom". you are looking here at pro-democracy protesters in hong kong. 4:17 a.m. in ho local media reports that some shops have closed and police are currently at the scene. protesters also came together outside the british consulate urging china to basically follow the rules of its agreement. the parents of otto warmbier were dinner guests of president donald trump at the white house on saturday. their son was a college student

when he was imprisoned in north korea and held captain for 17 months. the trump administration secured his release in 2017. otto warmbier returned home in a vegetative state before dying days later. fred and cindy warmbier have had an uneasy relationship with donald trump. he absolved kim jong-un of any responsibility for their son's death. no word yet on what they discussed. the u.s. president has announced that one of osama bin laden's sons has been killed. he says hamza bin laden died in a counter terrorism organization. this is the first time they have been confirmed. cnn's senior correspondent ben wedeman has this for you. >> reporter: he was seen as the likely heir to al qaeda, emerging leader with a distinctive name.

hamza bin laden, son of the late osama bin laden, has been killed in an american counterterrorism invasion somewhere in the pakistan area, according to a statement put out by the white house. american officials decline to say when he was killed. earlier this year, the u.s. state department issued a $1 million reward for any information on the junior bin laden, stating that he had released video and audio messages online, calling on his followers to launch attacks on the united states and its western allies. in revenge for the may 2011 killing of his father by u.s. military forces. on the same day, the u.s. bureau of counterterrorism called for united nation member states to freeze his assets and enforce a travel ban. as a response, his home country of saudi arabia said it had already revoked his citizenship.

in 2015, al qaeda promoted hamza as a top leader in its jihadi movement. he has been featured in al qaeda propaganda videos as a child but only posted audio messages in his later years. the most recent footage of him was released by the cia in 2017, showing glimpses of his wedding to the daughter of a senior al qaeda leader, which had occurred years before. those videos were restraoefd from osama bin laden's computer when it was seized during the navy s.e.a.l. raid that killed him in 2011. hamza is but one of his sons to be labeled by u.s. intelligence as a significant threat. and the third to die while trying to follow in his father's footsteps. ben wedeman, cnn, beirut. ben, thank you. now to the atlantic and tropical storm humberto moving away from

the bahamas after it passed by the same islands hit so hard by hurricane dorian. the current storm slowed down recovery efforts of dorian as the new system brought rain and wind to the area. you see it here. now that the storm is leaving, relief teams will resume its work of delivering aid, help and supplies to thousands of people who need them. let's get the latest on tropical storm humberto. >> they have been spared the worst of this tropical storm. it was definitely not something that was welcomed by the tourists or the residents living there. because no one wants to be st r staring down another tropical threat. this is the latest from the national hurricane center as of 11:00 p.m. last night. we are waiting for the 5:00 a.m. official update from them. 60-mile-per-hour sustained winds. we noticed yesterday that a lot of the convection and thunderstorms was developing to

the north and to the east of the center of circulation. that brought the heaviest of precipitation, the strongest of winds outside the northern bahamas, into the abaco island region. fortunately, those have been spared. the worst of the impacts of this tropical storm. they have had showers and gusty winds. it is actually encountering some of the colder water churned over from hurricane dorian two weeks ago. its projected path takes it into warm temperatures in terms "the atlantic" ocean. that will allow for it to intensify. fortunately, moving away from the southeastern united states. look at this hi-res forecast radar. you can see the eye beginning to develop. especially over the next 24 hours. cnn meteorologists believe it will become a hurricane by this time tomorrow, if not at the 5:00 a.m. update. that is a close call. we will definitely keep an eye on that. look how it goes away from the

u.s. category 2 storm by tuesday evening. bermuda potentially feel the impacts of a strong atlantic hurricane. that is something to watch if you have family or friends in that area, late wednesday, early thursday time frame. here is the projected probability of tropical storm force winds. they are moving quickly from the southeast coast. good news florida, georgia, carolinas, only a few scattered showers and strong wind gusts. we are monitoring a disturbance across the gulf of mexico that could bring hefty rainfall, 20% chance of rainfall, into texas. and welcome to the peak "the atlantic" hurricane system. a likely tropical depression forming across the atlantic now. thank you, derek. it's been two weeks since dorian hit the bahamas. right before that stormed reached the islands, our patrick oppmann made it there. he covered the chaos, the devastation from the beginning. take a look at his report. >> reporter: hurricane dorian

unleashing her category 5 fury on the bahamas. look at that. >> we knew what we were getting into when we got to the plane. category 5 hurricane is taken very, very seriously. i knew that it was not going to be pleasant. i knew that it was going to be pretty rough. and it was. >> we are being lashed here in freeport in the grand bahama by dorian's winds all night long. it sounds like a jet engine, screaming winds. they pick up but never really go away. finally, we were able to get out and see other parts of the island that up until now have been inaccessible. >> you can see there are still hurricane force winds and rain coming down on us. a little baby here, a boy,

coming up to protect him. good job. >> there is an amazing scene of people on jet skis and boats, people riding out the storm. we had to give them water. it was the only way to get the shots. the guy on the jet ski with a life preserver that didn't fit him. out in the middle of a hurricane to save people's lives. it's one of the bravest things i have seen. when the weather kicked up, we were getting pelted and beat up, our cameraman said we have to go back. >> my poor wife got hypothermia. she was standing on top of the kitchen cabinets until they disintegrated. she just drowned on me. >> i'm so sorry. >> i know. >> i know that interview touched so many people. it touched us.

he literally had the clothes on his back. and i will respect and appreciate the fact that he wanted to share that with us. it really was one of the things woke people up to what was going on here. >> this is complete and utter devastation like i have never seen. jose will point the camera over here. look at this. this is the while. this is the underside of the plane. this is what's left of the wing. you think of the force required to throw a plane from the runway into a terminal. >> i realized after saying this is the worst devastation that i have seen, that every day i was going to see something worse. >> the people who stayed behind, what must they have gone through. >> yeah. i have a nephew. three of his kids died. my heart is broken. i said i can't imagine the terror they were faced with. >> we went out to a place called mcclains town. we got there before the

government. they got decimated. it looks like a tsunami went through there, 30-foot-high storm surge. >> people from this other island got destroyed. they were showing up with help. that defines who about hail kwrap bahamians are. a lot of these towns will cease to exist. for ones who survived, you can see the fire in their eyes and the fact that they are not going to let this stop them. >> patrick oppmann there. jose ornijo. when you're out covering the storms as a reporter, you put yourself second, the people you meet first. you want to tell the stories, give the details, show people what's happening so they can understand and care. hundreds of people are still missing from this storm. you can learn more of course about this storm at

cnn.com/impact. you can find several different ways to contribute. we continue to follow this very important story. still ahead, the historic election in israel is just days away. and the prime minister of that nation is taking a hard line against his country's arab citizens. but will it do him more harm than good? stand by. criminals can use ransomware, spyware, or malware to gain access to information like your name, your birthday, and even your social security number. - [announcer] that's why norton and lifelock are now part of one company, providing an all in one membership for your cyber safety that gives you identify theft protection, device security, a vpn for online privacy, and more. and if you have an identity theft problem, we'll work to fix it with our million dollar protection package. - there are new cyber threats out there everyday, so protecting yourself isn't a one time job, it's an ongoing need. now is the time to make sure that you have the right plan in place. don't wait.

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. you're watching cnn "newsroom" live from atlanta. i'm george howell with the headlines we're following for you this hour. the united states is blaming iran for crippling attacks on two saudi oil facilities. the source telling cnn there are

signs they were likely launched from iraq. militants from yemen say they carried out the drone strikes. they take responsibility. but u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo says iran are responsible. and there is no evidence that the attacks came from yemen. however, washington has offered no evidence that its claim that iran was responsible. the u.s. president donald trump has confirmed that one of osama bin laden's sons has been killed. hamza bin laden was considered an emerging leader of the al qaeda terror group. mr. trump said he died during a u.s. counterterrorism operation in the afghanistan/pakistan region. he did not see when it happened. in hong kong, protesters are holding an unauthorized march in the financial district. this is 4:32 p.m. there in hong kong. the 15th straight weekend we have seen pro-democracy demonstrations there. they have come together outside the british consulate, urging china to commit to its 1984

commitment with great britain which lays out how hong kong should be governed. israel's prime minister hopes a mutual defense agreement with the united states will give him an advantage at the polls on tuesday. on saturday he discussed the possibility of such an agreement with the u.s. president donald trump. in a tweet he thanked mr. trump for the discussion writing, quote, the jewish state never had a greater friend in the white house. i look forward to discussing the pact at the united nations. previous attempts were rejected by both countries. the last opinion polls before tuesday's race showed two parties at a dead heat. that means the group often on the margins of israeli society could make more of a difference in this race more than ever before. let's go love to jerusalem with sam kylie, following this election. sam, if i was a snapshot, if you

could, of where things stand right now. >> reporter: well, george, broadly speaking, the la cued party have 32 of 120 seats according to the opinion polls in their back pocket. so does the blue and white. which means whether it is the center left or right wing block of benjamin netanyahu if, and i have to give the polls are frequently inaccurate. but if they are accurate, there will be a lot of horse trading and a lot of discussions with pretty fringe elements from the right wing perspective that could involve talks with a group that has an ideology that by any standards puts him right on the near violent fringes of hardline

israeli politics. important to the center left will be the future of the air rain-israeli vote. and not insignificant part of the electorate. this is my report on that subject, george. an election post of the citizens of this arab-israeli town to vote for the man on the right. it's safe to say they probably won't. support for prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his party is close to nil around here. >> translator: we have to vote for the air rain jointless, even if we feel it won't affect the knesset. we have to fight for our rights, rights no one will ask for. >> reporter: a first of the population is arab. pretty much neck and neck in these elections, there is strong feeling in the arab community that this time around their votes really count, perhaps galvanized by recent remarks from benjamin netanyahu.

he's raised tensions by saying if he's elected he will annex the jordan valley into israel. facebook said it suspended the automated messaging system on the prime minister's official page for 24 hours because it violated its rules on hate speech. this after the chat box shared a pop-up message that encouraged people to vote for la cued. because they want to destroy women, children and men and will enable a nuclear iran that will eliminate us. he said it was a mistake, that he had not written or seen it beforehand and removed it immediately. the joint list is expected to come through with 12 knesset seeds. >> we will all vote for the arab list this time because of the racism against us. >> reporter: la cued's main

rival, blue and white, so far brushed off the offer because of anti-zionism. if it wants power, though, that may have to change. george, as you know, this is the second round of general elections to have occurred this year. no signs on the opinion polls that any real winner will emerge, nor are there any particular signs that they will be able on either side of the divide here, stitch together a ruling coalition. there is a creeping, rather miserable feeling in israel. they may end up this year with a third election. but this definitely is an election that has seen continued influence. indeed critics might say interference from the trump administration in support of benjamin netanyahu. and clearly a lot of the more fringe groups within politics here going to be very, very important in the next couple of

weeks of negotiations, george. >> all right. we will see how this hands out in the next couple of weeks. sam kylie for us. sam, thank you. six months after new zealand's worst mass shooting in that nation, the prime minister is threatening to overhaul the country's outdated gun laws. the former mayor of christchurch will talk about what's happening there. stay with us. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers.

welcome back to "newsroom". i'm george howell. sunday marks six months since a gunman killed 51 muslim worshippers and wounded dozens of other people in christchurch, new zealand, the worst mass shooting in that country's history. since then, the government has moved aggressively to prevent another massacre, beginning with removing assault-styled firearms from the civilian population there. now the government wants to shore up weaknesses in the

country's 36-year-old gun laws. among those proposals, a national registry of all legally owned firearms, shortening a valid gun license for five years instead of 10 years. two-year jail term for giving gun to unlicensed person, and granting licenses only to people found fit and proper, excluding those with extremist views, violent criminal records, or mental health issues. let's talk with the former mayor of the city of christchurch, bob parker, joining via skype from christchurch. good to have you with us, bob. >> thank you, george. >> my colleague natalie allen and i were on the air the very hours when the shooting started. i'll never forget it, covering the story, the details were coming in. it was painful and disturbing to see what was happening. we watched as the world came together in mourning tkpwrour

nation. the prime minister promising to make sweeping gun law changes. she did just that with lawmakers. what's your take of how new zealand responded so far? >> i think the response was extraordinary. the pain was felt very, very deeply here. an event like this was never supposed to happen in a small distant and very beautiful country at the very end of the earth, a long way away from these sorts of events. and yet it did happen. that was one of the most traumatic days not just in the history of our city but in our country as well. a lot of progress has been made. the parliament came together very quickly after the tragedy, after the horrific tragedy. and within a matter of days, weeks, new laws were passed. and they were passed by the whole of parliament. i think it was out of the 120 people who could vote in parliament, only one voted

against the change of laws to outlaw the sale of these guns and the possession of these semiautomatics and magazines that held more than 10 rounds. that's shotguns and long arms as well. so things moved very, very quickly. but i think people sense there is more work to be done to fix the laws up, to make them truly effective. but significant first steps and a swift reaction took place. >> things move very, very slowly here in the united states on the same issue. it is common knowledge that among many nations around the world, the u.s. has many mass shootings, becoming more too common here stateside. despite the carnage, it does play as a political issue, even though most americans support common sense gun reform, they continue to drag their feet. was this as challenging a proposition in your country for getting lawmakers on board? >> sure. to put it in context, we are a

country of less than 5 million people. and we don't have a constitution. we don't have a second amendment. so we don't actually have those sets of so-called in aable rights. we can understand the complexities of the processes that you have to go through. but i think what happened here is the government moved extremely quickly. as i said, it was a unanimous vote but won in the house of representatives. so i think the ability to move quickly, which is something that clearly is more easily attainable in our sort of british-style democracy and parliamentary system possibly made it easier for us. we watched obviously what's going on in the usa and recognize the complexities that you have to deal with. >> certainly. well, again, here in the u.s., the issue of tightening gun laws came up on one of the democratic

presidential debates. one candidate in particular, beto o'rourke from my home state of texas, which saw two of the most recent mass shootsinings i odessa and el paso. let's listen and talk about it on the other side. >> hell yes we're going to take your ar-15, your ak-47. we're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow american any more. lawmakers are concerned that that comment could further polarize voters on this issue and make it hard tore compromise. what would you advise lawmakers here on how to bring people together on this really important issue? >> well, it is an extraordinarily important issue. and i know that everybody watches with dismay the events that take place across the usa and other countries. the anti-argument here, if you would like, is probably very

similar to the one that is faced in other countries, which is where people say the good people don't do these things. and the people that we need to target aren't necessarily the gun owners who are licensed gun owners. i'd be very reluctant to tell america what to do. it would be a little bit like the mass that roared. it won't be solved until you get both sides of the house, i think, realizing that something needs to be done. but clearly, again, i come back to the fact that you have a constitution, you have a bill of rights where every individual, which iss ese ese eseissenshrinh is a complicated process but you need to move swiftly and build up i think a cross-party alliance, an understanding around this. it is an extraordinarily difficult thing for you in that

you have a culture which has enshrined the right to hold guns, store guns, and use them in our own self-defense. for example, here in new zealand, it's absolutely illegal to use a firearm to -- to present a firearm at someone who might break into your house and threaten you. there is a different approach here. probably more reflective of the close alliance with the british law-making system and british parliamentary system. you are dealing with an enorm s enormously complex problem. you don't have a simple answer, other than the answer that politicians across political lines need to realize that something should be done and act together and be prepared to act swiftly. and, again, i'm not sure whether your legal system is going to make that easy for you. >> bob parker, we appreciate your time today. thank you. >> thank you. still ahead, prince harry

prince harry celebrates his 35th birthday today. and the duchess of sussex, meghan markle, is paying tribute on the couple's royal instagram account. your service is to the causes you care so deeply for inspires me every day. you are the best husband and most amazing dad to our son. we love you. happiest birthday. joining this hour from our london bureau. good to have you, richard. >> reporter: also fascinating to appreciate the depth of affection between harry and meghan. the fact that he has found his soul mate and is such a proud father. he is so wonderful. as we wish him a happy birthday. . >> 35. i remember that. seven years ago. 35 a lot different than 25. let's talk about that difference for prince harry. from then to now, what do you make of his evolution to husband

and now father? >> reporter: there's absolutely no doubt that the world's heart went out to him when he walked behind his mother's coffin on that memorable and tragic day when he was 12. subsequently, of course, he was the royal wild child. there was a great deal of concern. and then of course the army made him and two tours in afghanistan were most successful. we understand this is one of the things we have seen in the last decade, how traumatized he was after his mother's tragic death and what we have seen? the last 10 years is somebody who is met amorfised into an extraordinary commitment following in his mother's footsteps, as he sees it. but also of course deeply unhappy in some ways he found

meghan, his soul mate. he found someone who wants to campaign and do good. and it is this that i think absolutely makes him take, and of course a very, very proud father about to take archie to southern africa. >> to that point, let's look ahead at this new chapter for him not only as a royal but a human tear yann. what are you expecting? >> reporter: well, this is going to be absolutely fascinating to see how harry and meghan, whose public relation, it has to be said, in recent months have been i think very erratic. how they handle something that they are extraordinarily good at. we know and look at harry's success in the anti hiv-aids,

and invictus. it has been extraordinarily successful to help wounded servicemen and women. and of course memory health. and we have meghan committed to diversity, equality and feminism. they want to exercise their global reach. using celebrities. often understood in britain. we are seeing them in southern africa soon. we will sure see them in the united states. the reach will be in the commonwealth targeting millennials pause so many of the commonwealth are young. but also on a global basis, all of these issues, including the environment, also important. >> richard fitzwilliams, we appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. >> and thank you for joining us this hour. the news continues right after this. - in the last year, there were three victims
