be confirmed. all of this, leading up to the question of whether the 21-year-old suspect will be charged with a hate crime. right now, he is facing capital murder charges, but the investigation is ongoing. and given what we are learning, those charges could be upgraded to a hate crime. anchor: what about the political fallout so far? well, we know that this shooting has only fueled criticism against president trump for using what many consider to be racist language, and contributing to a kind of environment of hate, a feeling of hate that could have led to this shooting, where other -- whether it is tele--- whether it is president trump telling four congresswomen of color to go back to where they came from, denigrating the hometown of a

black congressman, he has been under a lot of criticism for setting a racist tone that could lead up to this kind of event. what is interesting in the wake of this is that now the president and republican party are talking about gun control, something republicans have not been willing to discuss in the past, even though the united states has more mass shootings and gun violence than any country in the world, something that hasn't come up in the pastor hasn't been able to get through congress in the past. now, the president says he would be in favor of "intelligent background checks," in hopes of preventing these kinds of mass shootings. he seems to have some support from the senate majority leader, republican mitch mcconnell, and that front -- on that front. this is new territory for republicans. short in goinged so far as to support an assault weapons ban, something many on

deplatformed. it was linked to white .upremacists in charlottesville annie kelly joins me live via skype. disclose house didn't which companies would be attending this meeting. is it your sense they are serious they are's -- they are serious about cracking down on far locked -- on far right extremism online? annie: that is a good question. tech companies will always have a best interest eventually in unpalatables with content, purely because there is money to be made off that market. if you can identify a gap in the market, and you can identify a source of revenue, this is how

have been 8chan clicking along for years and years, and daily stormer, i'm glad you brought it up. that was also another really good example of these quite well-known and quite popular hate sites that managed to create a revenue stream for cybersecurity companies, server hosts or domain registers. so it is good to see there is pressure being put on these companies, and political pressure as well. anchor: there is pressure being put on these companies, but not enough, presumably, because for any sort of crackdown to be effective, you have to completely cut off their profitability. that is exactly right. it is one of the problems where, it is not a tantalizing problem

to the question of white supremacist violence. the problem, if we want to tackle it, causes that the root this, the creation of economic social structure which creates disaffected young men who find solace in these sites and become radicalized. but in the interim it does feel wrong people are making money off sites that have blood on their hands, and simple language. suppose it is very difficult to find a precise terms ofnk, but in those attracted to these far right sites and those that use them, does the evidence show that people are radicalized by these sites? sites attract individuals that already subscribe to this violent ideology? combination of a

both. it is very rare that someone shows up to the internet with a complete, coherent, neo-nazi ideology. usually there is a conveyor belt --ect, essentially annie essentially. people go to a slightly racist site to a more extremist one to a more extremist one and then you end up on openly neo-nazi boards. anchor: how do you constrain that sort of domino effect without infringing on people's right to use the internet, and the critics that say it will affect free speech? annie: i think free speech on the internet is something we need to commit ourselves to, and that makes this a difficult balancing act. i'm not comfortable with the idea we should give the government or large tech companies more monitoring powers

into our private lives. i think these sites will always find a way to exist, but at the minute what is happening is that they are profitingng off the extremism effect that they are creating. they have a vested interest in more people becoming radicalized, and therefore spending more time on their site. and that iss something we can tackle, that profit motive, without directly impinging on free speech. if that is an obvious and relatively simple step to take, why is that not being done? annie: because these companies want to make money, and they are very happy for this stuff to stay overshadowed. require aes that not more proactive regulatory government intervention? the websisites themselves

theyutting off -- anchor: are cutting off probability. annie: there are different ways to go about it. anyas shut down without government regulation, it was social pressure -- it was pure social pressure. we need to keep that up. it up that white supremacist problem is a terrorist problem and a terrorist threat. anchor: thank you very much. i appreciate you sharing your lly from thenie ke university of east anglia. u.s. president donald trump has doubled down on a trade war with china, a new round of tariffs set for next month. but for other countries, new trade benefits from the dispute, one of the biggest winners, mexico. we have more from mexico city. mexico has taken the

.2% through 2019. >> this economic equilibrium mexico appears to have is not solid. i would say the economic situation in mexico is shaky at best. mexico could maintain this balance until the end of the year, but it depends heavily on policies pursued by president donald trump. reporter: earlier this year, mexico avoided its own trade war with the u.s., which could have had a devastating effect on the national economy. the reaction by global markets the tensions between the u.s. and china puts into question whether mexico really is a clear winner of the ongoing trade war, or if there are any real winners at all. a dip in stock prices also served as a reminder that the mexican economy is subject to the confidence international investors have in the u.s.-china relationship. thee may be nervousness in markets, but mexican exports to the united states are still on the rise, as mexico picks up the slack left over from china.
