ah, americans make up just 4 percent of the world's population, yet americans own almost half of all civilian fire arms on the planet between january 1st and today. that's a $145.00 days. there have been 212 mass shootings in the united states. now do the math. that's almost one and a half every day. on tuesday, a heavily armed man walked into an elementary school classroom in texas. police shot and killed him, but not before he shot and killed 19 children and 2 teachers, the deadly of school shooting in a decade to night. the world is asking america yet again. why i'm burnt gulf in berlin. this is the day. ah,

i can't. i can't imagine going through that with one of my grandkids. i've. my heart is broken. this down on this is after a shooter walked into the grocery store, the gun down, african american patrons. we have another sandy hook on his. we're off there were ozy juice yesterday. thinking there were also coming up a damning report on britain's party gate scandal was made public today. the conclusion, the british have every right to expect better from their leader. so this is what the prime minister offered today. and i want to begin today by renewing my apology to the house and to the whole country. i want to conclude by saying that ah, mister speaker, i am humbled and i have learned, oh,

what to our viewers watching a p b s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with the deadly of school shooting the united states have seen in a decade on tuesday, an 18 year old man walked into an elementary school in the small town of you've all the texas. he was armed with multiple weapons later, police arrived and were able to shoot and killed the gunman. but not before he was able to shoot and kill 19 children and 2 teachers, all of them in the same classroom. the reaction in the united states is one that we have seen so many times before. the u. s. president, demanding that congress deliver what an overwhelming majority of american say they support. sensible gun control, such as background checks for people wanting to purchase a fire arm. and then the response like clock work comes from congressman lamenting the tragic loss of life. but adding, they oppose. any idea restricting americans constitutional right to bear arms.

america's paralysis over gun control predictable, but also volatile. today at a press conference, texas governor greg abbott was interrupted by democrat politician bed o'rourke. we want to show you what happened, but be warned. there is some stronger language here. and at this time i will pass the mike to lieutenant governor dan patrick. excuse me. excuse me. excuse me, with sit down. you're out of your out of line and embarrassing. a totally sure your line, sir. euro your line, please leave us a i can't leave you a sick son of

a visiting with some good deal like this to make a boy, ah, i want to go down a step on simon's or corresponding. he joins me from outside the rob elementary school in you've all the texas steph on. we just saw beto a rourke trying to confront the texas governor over his record on gun control. now the governor and his supporters obviously do not want to talk about this. what about the american public? they want more than just talk right now let us pull suggest actually that 90 percent up to 90 percent of americans want to change. now, when i say change, i don't mean to an earthy or not implement the constitution. get rid of the 2nd amendment, which guarantees the right of a remark for every american to bear arms. but better controls,

better background checks. red flag, the so called red flex states, what they have implemented, and a better system to flag of warning signs to make things like this. what happened year, at least, if not impossible, but harder. and that is actually what i think most americans would go with. however, there is the republicans and almost all of the senators in congress in washington dc as well as a lot of governors including the texas government. mr. abbot, who do not want to have it, they will not touch it. it, it to the contrary. they actually last in controls and restrictions for us is, is to get guns given this is not the 1st of mass shooting in the us that you have covered. i'm wondering what stands out most to you this time, especially from the people that you've talked with. they are in texas

ah, you know, add taxes has the image in the united states maybe even were wired to be the rough and tumble, you know, every textner carrying a gun or having guns in their, in their pickup trucks and a wearing cowboy hats. well, that's not true and not at all. and he in this community is a titan, 16000 people. um, here around me around those this elementary school people know each other. okay. and they are in shock. they would never, ever have guessed. and that's probably normal because nobody would have ever guessed that it hits them. um and therefore their whole world changed. and you can see that their arm not just said they're not just traumatized. they are literally in in shock. they would have never guessed that something like this is happening here. well, as you pointed out, 212 mass shootings in 145 days in this year. so do the

mass. oh yeah. it happens everywhere. it happens all the time and no community seems to be safe from something similar to this or something like this happening. and people here understand that. now that's a case what they're saying. a very own stuff on simons with elise to night from evil to texas. to fun. thank you. my next gift to night knows 1st hand the terror of a school shooting on valentine's day in 2018. a gunman entered a high school in parkland florida. 17 people died. lewis mison was a student at that school. he, his fellow classmates, and their teacher, survived by hiding in a closet. lewis is now university student in tallahassee, florida. that's where he joins me to night lose. i appreciate you taking the time. i'm to talk with it's tell me, where were you,

what were you doing in what went through your mind when you heard about the school shooting in texas yesterday? i'm actually driving back up from a check with obviously come up on the news that the time it was less people and me i was there was all it is. and what did you think when you heard that, you know, people have been shot inside of school by the devastated, you know, i think that they now have the greatest portion of the unfortunate club. a club keeps growing up and it's, it's an awful thing to experience and my heart goes out. you know, a majority of americans in the polls tell us this, say that the support background checks for people who want to purchase a fire or and yet every attempt to make background checks mandatory. those attempts

have been shot down in the us congress. is it clear to you why that is? yeah, i'm not just a political science student. the got to be in the united states is one of the most powerful in the country, and it's very much gets to dictate how politicians vote on the issue. a few years ago, the economists interviewed you about gun control and the gun lobby, the national rifle association. you were quoted as saying, we want to show our viewers that quote. you've said i've met a couple of in are a members. and i can see they're passionate about the issue, but one of the things that have failed to show is that they do care about the issue . maybe more people would feel less like they're the enemy if they were more caring

and more sensitive to the issue. but they're not do you still that way? no, i i do. i think not they, when i spoke to them it was clear. unfortunately, you know, the a is a brand, you know, it's an organization and a message and some branding it branding is one that does human lives and even less children's lives. and it's unfortunate that kind of organization has to love how does in the united states government, you are a university student now, your generation, your, on the cost of moving in to the working world positions of power in leadership, in american society. is this, in your opinion, is this a crisis that only a generational change will be able to address and solve?

i mean i, i hope it's not i'm, i really do, i hope for better or like it that the current government can maybe do something about it or not. and then the government seem to come because, you know, the longer this issue is left unchecked. the, we're going to get more people are going to die, but unfortunately, all the science points that it is going to take a massive generational shit in our here. and who is in government to really bring about change. that'll that'll help stop me or just ask you, we've got a minute or so left. there were a lot of people involved yesterday in the shooting people who were traumatized. you have been through a school shooting yourself. if there was one bit of advice that you could give to the people who are so shocked by what the experienced, what would it be there and how right now?

and it's it's, it's a horrible place today. and right now, you know how your loved ones keep close to what you have. and i promise it does get . and i promise that you love to live with and you know you're going to trust. and all i can say is that i truly, truly do hope that if nothing else something good does come out of something can change the well. and, you know, i think a lot of people share that intimate exactly what was meant. and we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us and to share your story as well. thank you. ah, the british public has a right to expect more from their prime minister. that is one of the main findings and a highly anticipated report published today on what has become known as the party gate scandal. the report looked into a series of walked down breaking parties in boris johnson's offices in downing

street, some of which he attended. and on one occasion was fined for in fact, because he broke the wall, the entire party gate scandal has dogged johnson for months. now raising a question mark over the future of his premiership. but for now at least he appears to be going nowhere. the reports release had been awaited for months. it details what happened at 16 events, attended by the prime minister or his staff. while england was under strict pandemic lockdown measures. the investigation found at least some of the gatherings in question represent a serious failure to observe not just the high standards expected of those working at the heart of government, but also of the standards expected of the entire british population at the time. the report also includes photo showing johnson and staffers gathering in breach of restrictions. author, su, gray concluded there were failures of leadership and judgment. some of the events

should not have been allowed to take place. other events should not have been allowed to develop as they did in parliament. the prime minister once again said he was sorry with permission i will make a i take full responsibility for everything that took place. oh my god, i mrs. speaker, i: i'm humbled my have lunch, i labor opposition, leader care star mer repeated. his call for johnson to step down. you cannot be a law maker and a law breaker, and it's, it's time to pot tis bags. while polls at one time showed a majority, thought johnson should resign. few believe there will be any consequences. i'll come when spice johnson, the level lab is less than one thing. about just know apps, apps, the ego. i think it's a complete slap and for a slap in the face of the whole public. and i feel like the future generations me

misled to believe that all you can do all of this stuff while you're in power and you can just get away with it. the prime minister has ruled out stepping down, saying instead that it's time to move on. for morning i'm joined from london by aaron boston, a. he is a journalist in co founder of the navarro media network here. and it's good to have you on the program. the prime minister, i has no intention of resigning it. seems his conservative party. it's not going to force him to do that. so al, safe and secure. is he in his post to night? i think he's very safe and secure. i mean, as i'm sure you and your colleagues are well aware in politics, it's a dangerous game to make predictions, but i think he's very secure. the whispers are there will be a general action of the last possible moment. we now be looking at january 2025 in that calculus, that's 2 and a half years away. a lot changes

a lot can happen. and of course, there are massive problems for the british public. more generally on inflation rising prices with central recession next year. so their view is they can get clear water between these events and the next election. but as you say right now, around 59 percent of the public thinks johnson should resign. but most those people saying he should resign. also think he what? and do people really care about this report? an important gate? i mean, as you say, there are other issues, bigger issues than whether or not there was a party during the the walk down, but that people just moved on mentally i think, i think many have, and i think this is one of those cases where it's an obsession of, of the media class. it is, but i also think it is creating real problems for the government. this story, which has been on the agenda now 678 months. of course, the events which the store is covering proceed that, but they've been in the public eye for 67 months. this means that the government

can't really get ahead and set the agenda and other stories. it's really sticking the feet of the johnson administration in the mud. and so it is creating really big problems. what's interesting is, as i've said, 59 percent of the public thinks johnson should resign. but actually of tory voters in 20196364 percent. think he shouldn't resign. she had this very interesting polarization. virtually every liberal democrat, every labor voter from 2019 thinks he should go in the high eighties. and yet a majority of tory votes is think we should and so that i think is the key statistic. morris. johnson and his staffers will show to that. parliamentarians show to the doubts as a now say we've got 2 and a half years. let's get through this and things can change. yeah, i mean we've got this common theme in tonight's program, a democratically elected governments that seem to get away with ignoring the will of the people here. you've got a case in the u. k. a, from outside the u. k, it appears that the johnson administration could be described as one that doesn't

care about rules and doesn't abide by the rules and gets away with it a 100 percent. impunity if that an accurate description i think it is, it's reasonably accurate. obviously that happened some consequences, like restaurants and for instance, one of his chief spinners had to resign because she was joking in a private video, which was them later, probably released about them having private parties that been having some consequences. there was a police investigation, there was the su, gray report, i think that's even more concerning than johnson and his cronies. being able to do something and get away with it is the fact that you have had a place investigation by the london metropolitan police service. and they've not really found anything untoward on the part of johnson. so he's already been found. so it breaks the rules once he was given a fixed penalty. notice. but then of all of this evidence that we've seen now, all these photos and so on, the metropolitan police service, which is of course, the london police service, they saw these photos niss. it were nothing wrong here. move along,

no need to process further, further fixed countenance prime minister. so think yes, it poses questions or is johnson. but actually i think if you look at this in the whole and take a step back, it asks even bigger ones of the metropolitan police service. what, what would that be? what, what's the biggest question? well, i think there's clearly, there's clearly not been a, an equal application of the rules. you know, you had people who were having protests outdoors who were being find, you know, 10000 pounds for in no way breach in the rules that for us, johnson various stuff has happened at number 10. or, you know, you have instances, for instance, of some of those images where one or 2 attendees at the event have been fined, but not the prime minister. what was the question? it should be how, where is the outrage there over there in that's what i think a lot of people look at the digital understand. i mean it's obvious what you're saying. it's obvious that there is a double standard here in enforcing the law. and yet the public seems to just, you know, they swallow it and take it and that's it. well,

i think that there's 3 parts. the answer that the 1st is that they've, they've not just solid. i think many people happen not every one, you know, look at recent by elections, the tories have been thumped before this last summer. toys were flying high, they had sensational, local action results. they're winning by elections, which british governments tend not to do in, in government. they don't, they tend to lose ball actions, which are kind of like a midterm in the u. s. so there has been a pilots globe ahead. that's one part of the answer. the 2nd part is that, you know, boris johnson is what you might call an honest liar. you know, he never sold himself as a figure of integrity and honesty in truth the public. and so for many people this is kind of price did that. and then finally, as we've just touched upon a moment ago, there are bigger, they're a bigger political problems on the horizon, namely rising price and inflation. yeah. even for an honest liar, journalist aaron bastardi, we appreciate your insights to light air and thank you. but

the european union is moving to confiscate and sell, rather than simply freeze the assets of russian oligarchy. according to the european union, russian assets worth 10000000000 euros have already been froze. in many brussels. now say that the money gained by confiscating the assets could help to finance rebuilding ukraine. but some e u members, such as germany, they are skeptical the villa fresh and ali gar. alice sheriff's manners being seized by italy's financial police on the island of said in yap. lisman off is a billionaire and close ally of fresh president vladimir putin. he's only one of hundreds of ali gars that the european union has slapped with sanctions since russia invaded ukraine. at the moment it's difficult to confiscate luxury as it's like this in the you. but the ear commission, the executive farm, wants to change that. assets will be confiscated if

a linked criminal activity can be proven under the proposed legislation evading e u sanctions, for example, by transferring assets to family members could become illegal. but some say this won't hurt the russian economy. i think that this is done in morrow, a symbolic her with a symbolic reason to try and explain that. you know? no, you will be seized if you are outside to your jurisdiction. the ears as the russian assets worth, 10000000000 euros have been frozen in the block. brussels wants to use this money to help to rebuild ukraine. but that's easier said than done in some countries like germany, this would collide with private property laws. there are guarantees form private assets in our constitutionally, in our own based order. and we have very, very precise to consider what we are doing when we

are bullish. these guarantees for a private sector assets. if the law is passed, ration oligarchy would have a much harder time getting their hands on their villas again. ah, and finally, the image of 19 small children and 2 teachers in a classroom shot dead by a man who had announced his plans to kill. and he had bought guns on his 18th birthday. the world knows that america has a gun problem. many americans realised this to including the coach of the in be a team, the golden state warriors. we thought this could be worth you were attention. not going to talk about basketball. nothing's happened with our team. in the last 6 hours, we're going to start the same weight and i any bass, well,

questions don't matter. i, since we love shoot around 14 children were killed, 400 miles from here. and and a teacher and in the last 10 days we've had elderly black people killed in a supermarket. in buffalo, we've had asian churchgoers killed in southern california. now we have children murdered at school. when are we going to do something? i'm tired. i'm so i'm so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to to the devastated families that are out there. i'm so tired of. excuse me, i'm sorry, i'm tired of moments of silence enough. there's 50 senators right now who refused to vote on h r 8. which is

a background check rule that the house past couple years ago. it's been sitting there for 2 years and there's a reason they won't vote on it to hold on to power. so i asked you, mitch mcconnell asked all of you senators, who refused to do anything about the violence in school shootings and supermarket shootings. i asked you, are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our elderly and our church goers? because that's what it looks like. of the day's almost done, the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter, e 30 w news. you can follow me on twitter at brent golf t v. i remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then at with

with it school and we wonder which industries are profiting from it. are we on the verge of the global upheaval? and what would that mean? let's take a closer look with

d. w. no d is the academy of european royalty. but to the vast majority of her britain, she is always just been her majesty. elizabeth the 2nd is celebrating a 7 decade on the throne. and we find out just what people think a in 60 minutes on d w. ah, we're all good to go beyond the obvious

as we take on the world. 8 hours. i do all the fields were all about the stories that matter to you ever take by police. my follow me. do you go here? we are, your is actually on fire made for mines. ah ah ah ah. in times of crisis, there are many people who struggle to hold on to their lives and their livelihoods . war is especially traumatic.
