almost five hours since this horrific incident across the street from the mandalay bay we have just learned from sheriff joe lockhart oh in the last hour or so that more than twenty people are dead we don't know how many yet but he said more than twenty are dead more than one hundred are injured we know that the hospital university medical center which takes our trauma patients is acca pasadena victims have been routed to other hospitals as we are fearing so many have probably just been tree arzt at seafield and we don't know how many of those have not made it right now the police are looking for a woman named mary lou janet leigh who is described as the traveling companion of the suspect who of course has not been identified we're also forced to learn that this suspect is a local from los vegas. and his traveling companion we have not

heard yet police have gotten in touch with her but they are looking for this person's two vehicles and we can only assume that they are also if they have not already searching this suspect. we have well in excess of one hundred plus injured an excess of twenty plus. that have died we determined to resist shooter on the thirty second floor of the mandalay bay officers responded to that location and engaged the suspect at that location he is dead currently he has been a defied he is a local resident i will not release his name at this time but we are interested in a companion that is traveling with him. dana we what we were just running some comments there from the las vegas police

department the police chief addressing reporters we understand there is still one person at large the main suspect the so-called lone wolf gunman has been disposed of so to speak do we have any idea about the motives behind this unprecedented attack. no of course that's what everyone here in las vegas is wondering now we don't know if this was some ideological event or if this was the result of some just satisfaction with the hotel and gaming property we just don't know yet and that's what we're all waiting to find out now that this sheriff was a little equivocal his description first he talked about the suspect who is deceased as being the main purpose rader and then later on in the stead of one of the perpetrators or maybe is that one of the perpetrators first but we're wondering

we don't know exactly if this person of interest's mary lou down really is actually a suspect or just somebody that police want to talk with every also on the stand but not going to police want to speak with this so-called or alleged accomplice they're also searching for two vehicles as well the license plate so two so-called vehicles of interest as well we were getting a lot of witness accounts of people saying they heard hundreds of shots some people going on to twitter saying they saw one concert goer being shot in the head we understand the las vegas strip is in a state of lockdown in fact is it correct to say that all clubs and businesses on the strip on now closed. and i don't know what i earlier this evening yes all of the clubs were on lockdown i can't imagine any of them would be open at this point this is i was born here i have lived here fifty seven years i can't remember anything like this we are all in stock. or at a local journalist dana gentry joining us live here in our three international many

thanks for your time today thank you dana. thank you for joining us here on r.t. international we can show you another video from a well from a concert venue that appeared online a word of warning you might well find this distressing. was was. i i. i i i i i i i was i. i

i was i was there as a first hand account from a witness of the deadly shooting. i heard a few shots going off in those little firecracker but then you know all that knowledge can be in a firecracker and then a few seconds later one by like thirty seconds left by some shots rang out like a machine gun and i told my friends that the it was my friend a live shot right behind me like one right there is a crowded movie mart the way it was it went and it won't die down about twenty thirty seconds later more gunshots are ringing out and there was like no we're not staying here so everyone got out the iran iraq now tours most of most of the world mind you want to run anyone practical and we always just run across and we'll just hear shots coming from every angle from every angle we're in to field we're often

fences and people are falling on the ground you know there is everything was just going off so i also hope everyone was safe but i saw a few people a number i don't know how to keep going you know rest in peace to over you know who got in you know who got injured it was you know like literally right behind my head like i can hear this. problem in the middle few produces you know people you know turned around and was in our list as well like what the hell you know what the heck was that was that gunshots were fired four months out not part of like a little twenty two pistol and then you know thirty forty seconds later went on you know like a big you know big big in this unless the machine gun also rifles syngas it's. just ringing down my ears i'm like you know this is various i turned around towards like the back of m.g.m. i saw those two officers there and they ran up and ran back like what the hell's

going on and they ran back he was going off mass and we dug in and then about two to three minutes later everyone started running and then the officer you know the sort of calm and so it was a little slow it was pretty you know you can say normal pace is like right there. pretty scary but earlier in the program here in our to you we spoke to former intelligence officer and a master on. high caliber weaponry in the united states is just too easy. in america i mean obviously they have the second amendment of the constitution it's about the last right they still have in america which is the right to bear arms so it's very easy for systems to get access to very high caliber weaponry and you know a lot of different things can trigger the sort of attacks there's a along an awful history of these lone wolf lone shooter attacks both in american schools and in nightclubs such as in the florida nightclub last year and they can be triggered by any range of different issues they can piece of christian

fundamentalists trying to have a go at pleasure seekers in las vegas it be race related it could just be a nation or mental health issues could be far right extremism i mean you know where do you stop there are so many. problems in that society and the easy access to heavy weaponry is i think going to cause more and more of these attacks. also sore deadly attack yesterday islamic state claims it was behind a knife attack that killed two women at mar ses main train station the perpetrator was shot dead by security services minutes later. revealed today that the attacker had been detained for shoplifting and released the day before the attack he was also known to police for drug related crimes.

we heard women screaming outside then running in people didn't know what was going on and were taken out of the train and then evacuated. has also just experienced an attack police there are treating the ramming and stopping of a fellow officer on sunday related after reportedly finding an ice old flag in the attackers car a thirty year old driver has been up or handed a manhunt followed the ramming of the officer who was then stabbed several times but survived the driver was then stopped but managed to flee in a truck hitting pradesh stringent a high speed police chase and no deaths reported military expert come out think such attacks are now the main way left for terrorists to make headlines after losing ground in the middle east. as territory shrinks more of the fighters will escape many of them are western citizens who've been going to fight in iraq in

syria for the last six years or they have friends or other people in 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 these attacks to. make themselves still in the headlines the international community needs to work with the syrian government the russians and the iraqi government to. 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 it was a busy monday for worldwide headlines when all the international thanks for joining us so far still to come over eight hundred. injured in aggressive clashes with military police during the spanish region's referendum on independence more on that after the. first.

chance to look for common ground. it's good to be with us today for your world news eight hundred. voters were injured in aggressive assaults by military police during the spanish region's independence referendum on sunday despite madrid's efforts to disrupt the vote the government has already published the results with ninety percent supporting catalonia as break away from spain the spanish prime minister addressed his country just minutes before the end of the referendum which he proceeded to deny had actually even taken place. but in. the.

violence erupted moments after the polling stations opened well people were standing in line to vote here is a recap of what happened that day. live

. correspondent medina caution of a now reporting from boss alona are exactly what happened sunday in catalonia. done today was a very typical it's no warning they were this that is and that's why and for so many people here and started way before sunrise in the middle of the night when they came to different areas with their family members with their friends to protect the polling stations of their neighborhoods from police forces and they told us that it is important for them to remain a peaceful gathering it was important for them to defend their rights to vote to

defend their fundamental human rights this is what they kept telling us throughout the day yesterday but very quickly right after the polling stations were open everything got violent and we've seen a police pushing people out of polling stations using force to worse a different source of people from students to absolutely people they were breaking down doors breaking down windows so the polling stations doing everything in their power to prevent the referendum from going forward now for many people in council on and it was a shocking experience we talked to a devastated people in the streets of boston long and they never expected to see said attitude coming from the police forces but the leader in the evening at the address made by the spanish prime minister surprised almost everyone we have been very special things to the state security forces to the national police the civil

goods they have carried out the jews. they received from the thirty's but i'm sort of by the book with this day of hope and suffering the citizens of catalonia have earned the right to an independent state in the form of a republic so this is different approaches represent dramatic contrast and to choose that catalan people well we'll just have to deal with now another thing as the splits and police forces that we witnessed yesterday concert. and pretty soon sam areas were even pretax seeing the citizens catch a line you know from national guard and there was standing arm in arm in defending the populations from police forces now we've seen other videos in other areas where angry crowds started to throw rocks at police officers and as it results. were injured so we've seen a lot of unhappy

a lot of discontent people saying that they were deprived of their fundamental human right to vote no i. don't think so i think because they're not afraid of the well i think that is notice. how days was defying. the violence of the. responsibility of the bullets this month taint the safety of the people in the area here today is. not a low enough to deal with it's incredible it's really what this is it is in europe . we do know is that forty unions and associations and cats align and have already called for a region wide strike against what happened here in this region against the forests of the violence that was the use it to prevent the referendum on independence of cancer line from happening now the way civil guard officers try to . disperse the crowd is certainly raise some concern if i hear the pictures of some

of the people showing to the cameras of various types i mean ish and used to alternately control the crowds now protesters also in northeastern catalonia they also faced off against officers however demonstrators have their hands up as a sign of violence but police apparently just thought it in them with batons another video has also sparked an outcry a warning you may find the following images distressing and this video circulating online appears to show one of the. but is trying to remove a woman and twisting her wrist in the process she claims huffing goes well broken intentionally. actuations up to a policeman of the spanish policeman have been completely scandalous i mean it's it's there was. extreme violence against specific people that only they didn't even fold back they were just torn away torn on the floor this behavior is being

really scandalous but if the prime minister is. giving so much respect to these policemen it is because they want it's him they wanted them to do to act like they did so that's what they will do to show to humiliate people here show to spend his electors voters that are really very much. in this humiliation of elimination you deputies have now proposed holding a session on what happened in catalonia however top european officials have remained largely silent previously they stressed of the issue is an internal one for spain and out of care from the european partnership independence says that what happened in catalonia is an affront to european values all democrats in europe should to stand up and say god this is not acceptable when they are going to see

the images of own people families being hit by the police just because a pub referendum. will be shaken out because he goes completely against any fundamental european values had no we all or not so some shy who says we can't some shine says saying that violence should stop i think they should to say much more than fight let's have to stop we know that. so. our. breaking news story this hour the shooting in las vegas near mandalay bay because you know police are saying at least twenty people have been killed and over a hundred injured with some in

a critical condition the police are treating this as a lone wolf attack and say the man is a local resident though without revealing his name the suspected shooter has been killed however police say his companion is at large and here one of the international we're bring you all the latest on this and more at the top of the next hour it has been a very busy monday for worldwide headlines here nazi international flowing breaking news thank you very much for joining us. they get it checked. so what you want to do for us. to be this is what the three of them will be. interested in the water.

that mainstream media has met its maker. i'm action or tense here we're going underground today representatives for multinational corporation coca-cola and the spectator magazine discuss business

ethics of a gin and tonics at the u.k. conservative autumn conference in manchester coming up on the show as the radical hard left lost the political block we ask the chair of the welsh affairs select committee david davies about whether the cool bodies does demonstrate a good man just a true bricks of tears unlike remain a raise in may and was in almost company defacto sponsoring the labor party conference we speak to you gave had a chief secretary to the treasury to doubt about how the british labor party is welcoming lobbyists into the tent claudia webb of labor's national executive committee explains the ins and outs of throwing people out and generally corbin's not just socialist party in western europe all the civil coming of a days going underground at first when britain's chancellor or finance minister phil hammond speaks today he'll be speaking for a government that has borrowed more than any british government apparently in the street where household debt is at a record one point eight trillion pounds or two and a half trillion dollars and yet this is how and who has foreign secretary arguably

said there was british money to burn to give ak of a to al-qaeda linked rebels in syria it's no secret that we would like to be able to extend our strike operations into syria and this was a chance load suggested a new cold war with russia russia. ignores the norms of international conduct and breaks the rules of the rules based international system and that represents a challenge and a threat to all of us it was hamman to support of the launch of an economic war against nuclear armed russia are accusing the larger. nation on earth of being uncivilized civilized nations do not behave in the way russia under putin has behaved towards ukraine and those of us who live by the rules based international system will be steadfast in defending it against such aggression this from the then foreign secretary who supported u.k. training of saudi pilots to drop bombs in the persian gulf to threaten tens of

millions i know that some of them are being used to me and that doesn't make them that doesn't fall foul of the export licensing criteria it would be hypocritical to think that we could have a large defense industry exporting weapons systems and they never get used meanwhile as hammond speaks today as chancellor international law whether it be austerity here in britain or what he did is u.k. foreign secretary will be largely absent in the analysis on mainstream media let alone what the united nations had to say about his backing for the saudis sarah disappearing there was a hotly sort peck on civilians and an outrageous a violation of international humanitarian law well just like in labor brighton arms companies will be in attendance at this week's tory conference in manchester but it won't be yemen being discussed as much as critical brics it talks with brussels joining me is chair of the welsh affairs committee and conserved.
