life from this is on. a worldwide news it's good to have you with us today. thousands of pro-gun activists in the united states ready to take part in a day of resistance and an act of defiance against president obama's tighter gun laws agenda ultimately calling his plans unconstitutional as aussies guy nature can report so it's not just words they're ready to use to protect their right to bear on. part of america now favor some form of gun control especially in the wake of tragic mass shootings. while the other is getting ready to fight against any significant regulations they're preparing for what they call the invasion of feds by arming themselves to the teeth were mobile i think we actually got three that are very different from what i felt without it and we're proud of that of course it and i would be really qualified right. yes that is the basis of.

a police chief in pennsylvania mark kessler is training private citizens to become snipers and resist what they call it tyrannical government if need be trust me when i tell you this i mean i will take my uniform off and i will stand with freedom before i stand with the ironical folks absolutely not i will not in any way shape or form support anything that goes against the constitution or the second amendment sheriff associations from eleven states said they would ignore any law passed in washington that would significantly regulate guns we won't enforce federal regulations or federal laws were not required so there's a separation of powers then and we won't there is a tradition in american thought. of states doing what they want despite what the federal government says of course that led to the civil war well now we see a revival of the same kind of philosophy well we don't like what washington says so

we're going to do our own thing we have the right to do it well no they don't they're part of this country whether they like it or not and and federal laws will be enforced. the obama administration says they're not going to take away people's guns they just want to ban certain types of assault rifles which are more appropriate for war then for civilian defense but which have become the weapon of choice used in mass shootings in america the administration also wants to enforce background checks on all gun sales currently forty percent of weapons in the u.s. are sold without any background check but gun rights advocates see it as the first step towards disarming the nation there will be more bad like she believes in a belt or in the future ok the people who got to do that would do that while people like jim are gearing up for the second coming of hitler supporters of gun control points to staggering statistics the gun murder rate in the us is almost twenty times higher than in the next twenty two which is nations

combined that's unimaginable in any other industrial democracy that an argument would be made in favor of owning guns for the purposes of overthrowing the government and made by the high court the solution. making democracy stronger. by guns which imo strike. america's split over priorities according to the pew research center currently fifty percent of americans say controlling gun ownership is the more important priority while forty six percent say it is to protect the right of americans to own guns people choose different ways to stand up for liberty as they see it one owner of a pizza shop in virginia beach offers a fifteen percent. discount to those who come in with guns all they have to do is show me that they're carrying a weapon. or they can show me their concealed weapons permit and they can get the discount miscellany says eighty percent of his customers have brought guns into the

pizza shop since he introduced the deal one even came in with an a k forty seven one question of why is this when people here talk about protecting their freedoms with weapons that are designed for war to these people have such little trust in their democratic system to the point when they think of boat is not enough to secure their rights and that they need a stack of deadly weapons at home to do that in washington. well it looks like americans will not learn about weapon laws online we have a story of a ten year old boy taken into custody after not concealing his toy gun.

this is a joint force of french and african troops have sustained the heaviest casualties yet in the military campaign against islamist rebels and mali after thirteen chaldean soldiers were killed in fighting in the north i mean while the us has deployed one hundred troops in neighboring tunisia it says to assist the french led intervention with intelligence support for the french intervened in their former african a colony last month to stop an offensive by islamist rebels who are now waging a deadly guerrilla war the operation has nevertheless won france's president of peace prize from the un cultural agency unesco for his quote a valuable contribution to stability in mali social justice activist. says the award could encourage further foreign intervention on that continent. but so what is this reward actually encouraging it presumably encouraging others to follow the

example of the french over invading africa territories in africa it's an invasion on behalf of nato and the u.s. and its africa troops and is aimed at the economic and political interests of. france the problem here is that this is a political crisis and it can be resolved only by political means by sending in the warriors the troops the planes and the bowie he doesn't resolve the problem and as we can see it's actually exacerbate it and they claim. that they have been invited to come into mali by a government but it is being an illegitimate government and it's outrageous that the un should be censured such or such a policy i guess that unesco feels that this is what what needs to be rewarded. it's good to have you with us here on ars he today fierce clashes between

palestinians and israeli defense forces erupted across the west bank capping a week of protests in support of hunger striking palestinian prisoners in israeli jails dozens of demonstrate his reportedly go to injuries from tear gas and rubber bullets used in response to them holing stones and burning tires for palestinian prisoners have been on a hunger strike for more than two hundred days of them held without trial and two others rearrested often being released in a prisoner exchange deal a deterioration in their conditions has led to widespread calls for their release palestinian officials warning of a big crisis if the israeli government fails to listen to the u.n. chief is also called to act but policy a media analyst says the current international pressure on israel is simply not enough. that media solution that comes up to everybody's mind right now is just an immediate release of palestinian prisoners you don't have to go through. and

process in order to get a fair trial if there was anything let alone most of the prisoners were actually released and. deal last year and they were. kidnapped one more time and put in prison again so the whole thing is unfair. how else in the end prisoners on the other hand i really wish as every other palestinian which is just more involvement of the international community human rights organization international organization just put more pressure on israel and especially the legal system because it's very unfair. bly a lot of injustice where the palestinian as we are constantly seen as a lower class or people who don't really deserve any rights most people enjoy in the world. treatment of palestinian prisoners is not the only issue televisa these courting controversy on a bit later this hour here on out c report on how it allows a u.s.
