a few seconds later one by like thirty seconds left by some shots rang out like a machine gun and i told my friends to duck and when my friend does a little he got shot right by me like one right there in crowded movie the way it was given him 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 tours most of most of the man you want to run anyone for and we always just run across and we'll just hear shots coming from every angle every angle we're into field we're hopping fences and people are falling on the ground you know there is everything was just going off so i also i hope everyone was safe but i saw a few people a number on 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 stuff. in the middle few produces you know people you know turned

this afternoon i mean police and now saying that this was a lone wolf attack by a local resident we've heard he was a sixty four year old man i mean what do you think i mean is the big question what do you think his motive was. this is the difficult part and try to us it's a this it looks as though the police have already said this is the terrorist incident how many times we've seen this in the u.s. we've we've we've seen it before in cinema as we've seen in schools and shopping malls i think one of the key problems to this is the fog in the u.s. it's very good most of the access to the good to firearms that we have in from state to state varies from state to state but you know fortunately so charge it would be we've seen this little bit of occasions where as you as your employer there were talking about the gun laws and the attack a used machine gun i mean do you expect the gun debate to be reignited in the u.s. i mean it's being called the deadliest attack in u.s. history do you think it will change people's attitudes.

apologies that we have some we have some technical difficulties we'll try to get diabetes low a terrorism expert back as soon as we can. now moving on france also saw a deadly attack on sunday islamic state claims it was behind a knife attack that killed two women at marseilles main train station the perpetrator was shot dead by security services minutes later the authorities have since revealed 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. although until we heard women screaming outside then running in people would know

what was going on were taken out of the train and then regulated. while canada has also just experienced an attack police in edmonton are treating the ramming and standing of a fellow officer on sunday as terror related after finding i saw a flag in the attack as car the thirty year old driver who is a refugee from somalia was apprehended a manhunt followed the ramming of the officer through the stop several times but survived the driver was then stopped but managed to flee in a truck hitting pedestrians in a high speed police chase no deaths have been reported the driver is now facing tara charges military expert come on alarming things terrorists are resorting to vehicle attacks often losing ground in the middle east as territory shrinks 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 friends and 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 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 that is the best way because these got a 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. now almost nine hundred cattle on voters were injured in aggressive clashes with military police during the spanish region's referendum on independence on sunday more on that after this short break.

when i almost choked seemed wrong. just don't call. me. yet to say proud to stay active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something want to be preached. to the right to be this is what. three of the people. interested

always in the water. should. welcome back almost nine hundred cattle on votes as were injured in assaults by military police during the spanish region's independence referendum on sunday madrid steams the vote in legal bunch despite its efforts to stop the referendum from going ahead the consul on government has already published the results with ninety percent supporting cuts alone his breakaway from spain the spanish prime minister addressed his country just minutes before the end of the referendum which he tonight taken place. oh you know i'll be going to put in the bill that i mean if you're going to give them the love.

we have to feel. good about she would oppose that she would be going to stop. but if you're not you're not going to be a few. cars . that much you going to implode but i don't. when the violence erupted moments off to the polling stations opened while people were standing in line to vote here's a recap of what happened on sunday. medina

question of our reports from balsa lono on sunday's events in catalonia. sunday was a very difficult and no warning day for this citizens of consul and for so many people here as 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 self the polling stations doing everything and 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 had 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 drafts made by the spanish prime minister surprised almost everyone. very special things to the state security forces to the national police and the civil goods they have carried out the jews and the mandates

they received from fuel thirty's quote i'm sure you can be the party with this day of hope and suffering but the citizens of catalonia have earned the right to an independent state in the form of a republic but this differing approaches have represented dramatic contrast in 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 constant police and sound areas where even great taxing citizens catalonia from the national guard and there were standing arm in arm in defending the population from police forces now we've seen other videos in other areas where a great crowd started to throw rocks at police officers and as a result allowed police officers were injured so we can we've seen a lot of unhappy a lot of discontent people saying that they were deprived of their fundamental

human right to vote. so i think because they're not afraid of the well i think that is noted for how those was defied. the violence of the. responsibility of the bullets might taint the safety of the people and they're creating the insecurity and they are not a low enough to vote but it's incredible it's really what this is it is it's in europe this europe. we do know that forty unions and associations and catalonia have already called for a region wide strike against what happened here in this region against the force of the violence that was used to to prevent the referendum on independence of catalonia from happening. well the way civil guard officer is trying to disperse the crowd house race can. certain here you can see people holding up rubber bullets fired into the crowd and protests as in your own a in ne in catalonia also faced

off against offices demonstrators have their hands up as a sign of nonviolence but police apparently started hitting them with batons another video has also sparked an outcry and a warning you might find the following images distressing well this video circulating online appears to show one of the officers trying to remove a woman and twisting her wrist in the process she claims her fingers were broken intentionally. actuations up to of the 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 to touch him they want to them to to to act like they did so that's what they will do to show to humiliate people here and show to spend this elector's photos that are really very much. in this humiliation of cotillon nation. well the e.u. has just now reacted to sunday's events in catalonia its comments though a somewhat fakey worded well for more on this we can now cross live to ati's bullyboy cat in london well hi there polly well what's been said. well look the e.u. commission has finally come out with a statement in reaction to what's happened in catalonia a lot of people say it's long overdue it says that under the spanish constitution yesterday's vote in catalonia wasn't legal that president has reiterated repeatedly that this is an internal matter for spain and that although it does violence can

never be an instrument in politics there does appear to be a reticence in europe about what's happening in catalonia just a few days ago the e.u. is very or in spokes person had trouble defending madrid's judicial crackdown preceding the vote when he was being quizzed by journalists take a listen. now will you have a double standard in freedom of expression whilst found out four thousand. in other sound for. you condemn it when they shut down cambodia daily but you stay silent when a member states taunts playing with freedom of expression. private websites if they start arresting jewelries how can you see this is of course additional that we don't have anything to say i mean this is freedom of expression anything else that we're going to help you with today. there is a sense that this whole situation is making european leaders square with discomfort

and in fact up until now really it was best silence that was speaking volumes about how uncomfortable they are a rare exception to the silence was the belgian leader the prime minister that shell's michel he said on twitter that he was calling for political dialogue to resolve the crisis and he insisted that violence can never be the answer same thing from this livia and prime minister he said he was concerned and calling for political dialogue and rule of law or and peaceful solutions the u.k.'s opposition leader jeremy corbyn he condemned the events in catalonia shocking and perhaps unsurprisingly nicholas studds and the scottish national nationalist leader that the first minister of scotland called spain's actions wrong and damaging so overall really from europe this reticence and a disconnect it seems between how the politicians and the big institutions are

reacting and how ordinary people are seeing what's played out on the ground we have seen some newspaper editorials condemning the violence on the other hand there's been quite an unusual reaction from sky news over the weekend a tweet from them grabbed the attention of many people it was deleted very quickly but not before a lot of people noticed and criticized it said that the people of catalonia finding out what happens when an illegal referendum is held now that really got a lot of people talking it was. a lot of people surprised to say the least for a media organization to post something that seemed to contain a message of really i told you so and don't try and stand up to these big institutions because they will always when. human rights groups haven't shied away from condemning what's happening in spain they human rights watch has said that the

state has a duty to protect the rights to peaceful assembly and free expression of those opposed to independence and there is who supports it as well so it seems that the european reaction has been selective some people say that the reaction from europe would be very different if it was one of the new european states. involved in this situation like with catalonia say hungry or bold garia and ultimately i think it represents that every european leader has their own catalonia so to say secessionist movement so if you fan the flames of one you could have a fire that you're on you're not able to stop so you constitutionally it appears that they think madrid is in the right morally whether or not they're in the right is a gray area and that's probably why everyone is a bit uncomfortable with that. indeed some interesting reactions there are to use

probably would come from london thank you very much indeed. now let's go to a recap of our breaking news story police say that over fifty people have been killed and two hundred injured some in a critical condition after a mass shooting near the mandalay bay ticino in las vegas the police are treating this as a lone wolf attack the suspend the suspected shooter has been killed and named a sixty four year old local resident stephen paddick police say this is the deadliest shooting in u.s. history will bring you more on the latest on the story at the top of the next hour .

here's what people have been saying about rejected a night with the sixty just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to live on gently a lot of the really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of marty americans do the same we are apparently better than blue things but i see people you've never heard of love right back to the night my president of the world bank paid money to the i mean seriously send us an email. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be rich. to like to be prosperous like them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first city.

it's taken these children. now it's threatens to take their future. the volcano here could erupt again at any time. most people have a strong choice to. live in poverty. it's going to. put some following a different. consumer . that boy. that's a lot. easier

. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington or washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. hello and welcome to crossfire where all things considered i'm peter all about

again this network r t is in the spotlight and under attack now the russian authorities are pushing back what is called the info wars is heating up shouldn't the news consumer be allowed to decide. cross talking real news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow mark slobodan he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have dmitri bobbitt she is a political analyst with sputnik international and in london we crossed to adam garri he is a writer for the duran dot com or a german cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate adam let me go to you first in london i think over the last few days of the first time the the the russian authorities are beginning to push back on attacks on our t.v. and sputnik meaning if you read in between the lines that if you mess with our t. and sputnik while a western media in russia can expect the same kind of treatment and i pay.
