. i. have. a local hospital so it's receiving patients with gun shot wounds many videos have them osho in the attack and it's off the mark so this one on your screen trying people down there in the distance of playing the venue as a shots can then be. the next i give you a first time account from the witness of this deadly shooting. or is inside. we refuse to believe it was the shooting. until they just kept going and going and then. this stage and then everybody started flying and we started we had to have a gate to get out. it was crazy i've never seen anything like that now and i heard it. and they kept going even the rap for me was to just kept going and going.

it was insane. and i has another video from the concert venue that's appeared online i should warn you you may find this disturbing. thank you. thank you. i. think. the scene as we understand here is the latest of what they have as. i. you got to we

have numerous victims right now i don't have a number for you have their families and your thoughts but i can't confirm as we do have one suspect now please steer clear of the area we have all the resources from was much more police department as well as our partner agencies coming down to bear on the situation. we now hear that the port is grounding all flights after the shooting we also understand the las vegas strip itself has been locked down we spoke with i can park a terrorism and security expert about this a time in las vegas. seems to conform to other patterns of attacking venues where people to gather for reasons of entertainment in this particular case through ninety one harvest festival so it does seem to conform to some of the things that seem to been happening of europe of late namely of course in instances where people are visiting

a particular venue on mass and of course the spontaneous and incredibly damaging infliction of violence just seems to be quite an extraordinary thing and certainly when we have the attack of this scale and the nature of how it seems to be coordinated and understandably the police want to be sure. we have whether they know it or not whether they say that they know that there are several individuals that need to have been noted one who's possibly been wounded but it's something to be sure to be precautious about as to whether there are in fact more individuals who are participating in this but it does remain to be seen whether the individuals who are connected do have. you know some similar is such a method and strategy the individuals in the battle plan massacre of course they have these suicide bells as well in addition to being heavily armed so it depends and remains to be seen whether it is off that order at the problem of course for this particular instance with the individuals can see. with at the operators as it

were some one suspect is down another may be at large and they may be more is of course that they have free reign in the buildings that they'll parading as the reality of course is first and foremost to assess what is the nature of this attack whether it is in fact an incident that can be connected with. say a standard. terrorist attack was it a domestic terrorist incident is it or is it an instance which is more connected locally and this is something that they will have to work out but either way of course the ease of which individuals access weapons and the ease of which they can be deployed has always been a concern the concern of course in this case is the next level as to whether there is a political motivation behind these acts with these particular engagements. all right it's about it's about six minutes past one in the morning in las vegas let's give you a bit of a wrap up exactly what happened it was the final night of a country music festival that of the route ninety one hobbit festival with an oldie

and on stage as you can see thousands of people in attendance when all of a sudden it's reported that hundreds of gunshots were fired possibly from the thirty second floor of a nearby hotel ultimately people in the crowds here with very little places to go very few places to seek shelter and most of them either fleeing running all hitting the deck we understand the area is now in a state of lockdown the clubs businesses on the strip all closed the las vegas airport has grounded all flights police originally saying that there were multiple shooters now they don't believe that to be the case now they say one shooter who has been taken down a university medical center spokesperson saying at least two dead with twenty four injured we'll continue this here we're not seeing international you can also stand by. as well that's a joint. associate fellow with the international center for counterterrorism in the hague and a former diplomat thanks for joining us here on r.t.

international so quickly of course it's all speculation at this stage is early days yet but potentially who do you think could have been behind this attack. this is impossible to say is very we should be very careful to jump through hoops we must you know take. we always. in the coming days so we need to be very careful not to jump to conclusions to use truth that it seems. like are the targets. so. it's been the case that these rings in the units of demons places are a part of the targeted. mind part of that because really what they're going to be need to be very careful job. and now it's not.

make you go away since before the people in the tubes about what is happening to cut off we've been interviewing guests now for the past few hours with this ongoing breaking news here on r.t. international certainly most of them leading towards the potential terrorism aspect to this of course early days yet we have no confirmation of that whatsoever of course it might ring night the whole gun debate and in america what what kind of response do you expect in the early morning hours from washington and the president donald trump in regard to this what appears to be and i'm surprised at the truth you have lots of. years and you know increasing security which is always the case. in the aftermath of these sort of events. are. integrated into problems. and. people warns that it is not necessarily the best we.

all know that looking into what happens. next is. you know. looking into why. is is an important part of the response mechanism well again increasing security station recruiting issues will be reduced his obviously needed to make sure that no more victims will be will be will be. suffering well that's. an interesting one to impress a group of those who do you get into community work is an important part of get used to making these i'm definitely. not there was an attack in canada yesterday and one in france and both are being investigated by counterterrorist security forces for possible links to ice or g.g. think there could be a link to this attack you were suggesting earlier that the terrorism could be could

be connected in some way because i should say that today and islamic state cell was found in the moscow region reportedly planning terror attacks in crowded places is a possible that these could all be in some way united synchronized on multiple fronts. yes yes they are what happens is because of the. ice and snow in the middle east where the out. if you get sued you. is now broken and it is pulling out into the east from the east into easy but they were also coming in with euro check that happened in the us a year. it's occurred to me and. i see this is spreading increasingly from the middle east river. to the small us tech and the state is a great example of

a gruesome attacks and it's very effective in the interest but it's. you know. it's just going to go. in series. fellow with the international center for counterterrorism thank you very much for your time and your insight today here on this channel thank you. president emanuel is reacting to something that happened only yesterday france also had a deadly attack islamic state claims it was behind a knife attack that killed two women at mar ses main train station the perpetrator was shot dead moments later by security forces. although president emanuel condemning what he called out of a barbaric act. now

the soldiers are involved here are part of the operation sentinel which was launched after the terror attack on the charlotte magazine's offices in early twenty fifteen the country has been under a state of emergency since november of the same year former british intelligence officer i mean national believes the operation standards have improved but there's always room for improvement. what i think we're seeing a much faster reaction time from the police and security forces in all countries across europe i mean particularly in london as well with the attacks that happened in a few months ago that the reaction times much faster to stop further deaths but of course you can't stop the initial attacks themselves because these tend to be lone wolfs they tend to already be on the radar of the police or the security services but it seems that they're drowning in information because of the dragnet surveillance infrastructure the place so the not targeting investigating and

stopping potential terroristic type attacks and that is an ongoing problem i said this many times but they don't seem to learn from that and perhaps it's very difficult to try and tackle it well. has also just experienced an attack police there are treating the ramming and stabbing of a fellow officer on sunday as terror related after finding an ice all flying in the attack his car a thirty year old driver husband apprehended a manhunt followed the ramming of the officer who was stabbed several times but survived the driver was then stopped but managed to flee in a truck it in protest ruins and a high speed police chase and no deaths were reported a military expert come out thinks such attacks are the main way left for terrorists to make headlines after losing such ground in the middle east. as to how to shrink more of the fighters will escape many of them are western citizens who have been

going to fight in iraq in syria for the last six years or they have. other. continental europe or north america which might carry out these attacks and this is to make themselves still relevant and indeed news because obviously on the ground they're losing to syria and iraq so they will carry out more of these attacks to make themselves still in the headlines the international community needs to work with the syrian government and the russians and the iraqi government to tackle terrorism is the best way because these kind of small attacks will keep increasing unless there's more cooperation in the global strategy on how to fight and stop supporting insurgent groups in other people's countries. or less like about to our breaking news here on international the shooting in las vegas and then mandalay bay casino in just that latest statement police say they don't believe there are any more shooters after taking down one suspect reports say that two people two people

have been noted one who's possibly been wounded but it's something to be sure to be precautious about as to whether there are in fact more individuals who are participating in this but it does remain to be seen whether the individuals who are connected do have. you know some similar is such a method some strategy the individuals in the particular massacre of course they had these suicide bells as well in addition to being heavily armed so it depends and remains to be seen whether it is of that order at the problem of course with this particular instance with the individuals concerned with at the the operator as it were the some one suspect is down another may be at large and they may be more is of course that they have. free reign in the buildings of the operating as the reality of course is first and foremost to assess what is the nature of this attack with it is in fact an incident that can be connected with as one would say a standard. terrorist attack was it

a domestic terrorist incident is it or is it an instance which is more connected locally and this is something that they will have to work out but either way of course the ease of which individuals to access weapons and the ease of which they can be deployed has always been a concern the concern of course and disc is the next level as to whether there is a political motivation behind these acts of these particular engagements or i'll just give you a quick overview of what has transpired this past evening in las vegas nevada it's now twenty one minutes past one in the morning we're showing you pictures of ultimately the aftermath of panic as people are fleeing a country music festival concert with jason aldean at the star the country star performing on stage we understand during the concert gunfire started raining down allegedly from the thirty second floor of a nearby hotel a police originally thinking that multiple shooters then revising it to one shooter they say that he is down although they said semiautomatic or automatic weapons were
