platitudes and familiar symbols of public morning anger at to assist them, paralyzed by politics, costing the lives of ordinary americans. what are we doing? what are we doing? just days after a shooter walked into a grocery store to gun down african american patrons, we have another sandy hook on our hands. what are we doing with $200.00 must shootings in the us this year alone. the debate of a gun control has rarely been out of the headlines. hillary clinton seeds, america is becoming a nation of anguished screams this small town in texas. just the latest place

you'll hear the cries of pain over young lies, could tragically shalt. let's bring in date of these, washington correspondents, to me, some a scandal sent me some hours have passed. now. what more do we know about what is unfolded? while the story is still very much developing anthony, as officials investigate what we're hearing now is that at least 18 children and 2 adults have been killed. we don't know how many people were injured. we do know some are in the hospital fighting for their lives. so this death toll could rise again among the 18 children who were killed. we are talking here about kids who are in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. that means kids from around 6 or 7 years old to around 11 or 12 who attended rob elementary school and the one teacher. as i mentioned, we have heard that the shooter actually shot his grandmother before getting in the car and heading to the school. then he abandoned his vehicle and entered the school and started shooting. it's reported, as you mentioned,

that he was carrying at least a hand gun and perhaps a rifle and was wearing body armor. we don't know more about the type of weapons, but apparently these were weapons that were purchased legally in the state of texas . there is a massive law enforcement presence on the ground right now the f b. i also law local law enforcement. looking into every aspect of the shooters life and of all day, just to tell you where this is, is just about 130 kilometers west of san antonio and it is not far from the mexican border. so this is a heavily latino, latino community. and the school district superintendent saying that the rest of the school year anthony has been cancelled. they are providing grief counseling for the community. and they have also started an emergency blood drive for those who are injured at the moment being treated in the hospital. still the early stages soon to we know much about the young man who did this or indeed why he did this very little. i mean, we know that the shooter, according to the reports emerging here, had post and violent messages online. we know that he was 18 as you said,

and from valley. so he had attended a high school in this town. but we don't know if he attended this elementary school . in particular. as i said, investigators are now combing through every detail to find out what could have possibly been his motive. so me stay with us. us, president joe biden has been speaking on his return to the white house. let's take a listen. as a nation, we have dash win in god's name. we're going to stand up to the gun lobby. when in god's name, we do, we all know our good needs to be done. why are we willing to live with this carnage? why don't we keep letting this happen? we're in god's name is our backbone. have the courage to do stand up to the lobby's semi. we have words to that effect, so often wo, placed and will meaning. but is there any chance that this time there will be enough anger or fear to say politicians legislate to stop this happening?

a country right now, and i have to say it's very hard to see that there will be any movement on this issue such a hot button issue. and until now, congress has not been able to pass any sort of legislation. and we heard the president there say that even common sense gun laws, restricting access to assault weapons, were to raise the age of when such weapons can be purchased, legally could be done. but republicans, particularly in the senate, are staunchly against sublet of legislation. and you know, really, it was a week ago that the president was in buffalo visiting the site where there was a racially motivated mass shooting 10 african americans killed there. and he said there is very little he can do as president. he said to day, i am sick and tired, but we have to do something and it's not being done. as a, as we already heard in the report, there have been more than $200.00 mass shootings in the us already this year. and just at one point about what the president said about standing up to the gun lobby,

anthony, i should mentioned that are starting this weekend. the national rifle association, that is the big gun lobby here in the us is actually holding its annual convention in texas. and the former president, president, trump, is expected to speak there. the debbie's washington correspondence with me so much scanned them. anything a he now are some of the other stories making news around the world. the sell north korea has launched another 3 ballistic missiles according to its neighbors. south korea says the rockets were fired towards the coast. it was president joe biden has just wrap the trip to asia. he stressed washington's commitment to defend the fair allies against north korean aggression. as more monkey pox virus cases are reported around the world, germany is recommending a $21.00 day quarantined to contain the spread of 30 stress. this does not signal the start of the new pandemic. gemini has ordered 40000 monkey pox vaccine doses.

at the head of the world health organization, ted ruskie pursues, has been reelected for a 2nd turn. the dress faced no challenges, despite criticism of the response to the pandemic. the ethiopian is the 1st african to hold the post or 3 months on from the russian invasion of he cried. there's still no end to the war in sight. moscow says it will continue. it's offensive until it achieve its goals. russia stepping up its attacks on e grants, eastern don, best region. heavy fighting is reported in and around the town of sanford at the next. the regional governor says 12 people were killed by shilling and he's not the address president vladimir soleski warned. russia is determined to destroy everything in don bess. so, and he also paid tribute to the fierce resistance put up by the ukrainian people. my mom brought me about as of we must always remember that we have withstood these 3 months. the thanks to dozens of thousands of feet from all who defend the state.

not. so i'm accustomed tens of thousands of lines of ukrainian men and women killed by the occupiers, blue or cooper. earlier i spoke to jonathan cats, a senior fellow with the think tank, the german marshal fund. i asked him whether rushes, military failures main. moscow is unlikely to get what it wanting. easton ukraine? well that they've really failed so far. many dear objectives. they stood for wanting to to take and other major cities across ukraine. tried to what they said was d, notify demilitarize crew. clearly that hasn't worked out. russia both underestimated ukrainian resolve capacity, but they also underestimated the support that you are crane would receive from the west. and even just this week, you've seen the feds officials from the united states and partners, the allies pledge additional military assistance to ukraine. so that support is going to continue the course. unfortunately,

we have what you just reported and is this intense fighting in the dumbass region. and i think we shouldn't be focused on the day to day. this is going to be a long conflict and as long as ukrainians are willing to fight, i think the west will continue to support ukraine, both militarily and in terms of military assistance. that brings us to the weapons of the us in the law of pledge to send the crime so far. the triple 7, how it says among them will be enough to turn the tide of the ball. yeah, i think it's, it's even more than just the weapons and i and ukraine is asked for a number of different types of weapons, whether it's tanks, long range, missiles, others types of support howitzers. so what you're seeing is that the u. s. and partners and allies, you know, training ukrainians furiously on to get them ready to use nato weapons. and i think this will have an impact real impact right now, but that training is happening right now. i mentioned this defense ministers

meeting this week that took place where pleasure new pleasures were made to provide this type of support harpoons and other support. so it is coming to ukraine. but the challenge is that you have to train ukrainians, a new weapon systems, but we have seen ukrainian so determined, ready to fight. and they've been bought back in a way that russia hasn't been able to achieve its objective. so right now that that support is going to continue. that was jonathan cast, the senior fellow with the think tank, the german marshall fund. well, they come soon. festival is back. this year the event in the south of france has recaptured some of the glitz and glamour of the past. i. the stars are once again shining on the breed carpet, but the war new crime is casting a shadow over the festival. this hears can film festival torn between a celebratory mood and war. stop raping us is what the nearly naked ukrainian act

of his screams and protest against more time rate. set against up beat background music. a scene that perfectly symbolizes ken's occasional tone, deafness after the enforced pandemic, break the message that should have been sent was cam is back more brilliant than ever with a big show. major stars and great cinema. tom cruz presented his film. tough gun, maverick. no phelan can comes close to the size and scale of this block buster coordinators. this is your captain speaking. this is a celebration is beautiful and i'll never forget. on the years. lovely french fighter gents blue above can for the premier. but now everyone was as enthusiastic about it as tom cruise. those who had recently experienced the ukraine more in person, more uphold. the heart jets fly in soviet almost light dull. and bumpo wasn't follow. at its other jet anthea started to cry. i like kaka,

sarah brenna cough is controversial. even though he has spoken out against prudence . war, ukrainian filmmakers are still outraged a 1000 to mine. ah, he is a refugee from his fancy, or he's a opposite minion, glossy ah, decedent's. she east, when he here, he had the bar of the russian propaganda, and they can use him like it is a citizen. the debate over a general boycott of russian culture is in the spotlight. a can the combination of show business and politics is nothing new for the cam film festival. but the balancing act has probably never been as tricky as in 2022 with. and that's all for now, after the break, a doubly documentary racism down on the looks at violence directed at aboriginal strivings. please stay with us for that. if you can, don't forget,
