5:06 am
cordon around it was like this the police entered the ballot station building and everyone who was in there teamed up to peacefully resist the police blockaded the place that no one could interrupt after that they started throwing people out they took out the ballot boxes cut the demonstrators. off and brought the boxes to their cars we sat down in front of those cars so that they could drive away it lasted for about an hour meanwhile spanish authorities claim the vote was illegal and unconstitutional the e.u. commission meantime has issued a statement in which it refuses to condemn the violence instead expressing trust in spain's prime minister or hoyer or here on r.t. international we will be keeping you up to speed with all the developments throughout the day on this channel. for. america is now mourning the victims of the
5:07 am
deadliest mass shooting in its history fifty nine people were killed in a massacre at a country music festival in las vegas among them husbands wives mothers teachers graduates and police officers a sunny melton who was at the concert with his wife he was fatally shot in the back as he shielded a hoe from the bullets at the knees but it's just died and a husband tony's just minutes after she posted a photo of the two of them at that concert and jessica clincher was a single mother who died leaving behind four children and the families of course will never be whole again and here's how events unfolded on that fateful night. i i. i i.
5:09 am
the gunman was located on the thirty second floor of the mandalay bay hotel you can see the pictures right here looking basically over looking out of the festival you can see here he actually broke the window before unleashing a shower of bullets on the crowds below and when police stole not room they found twenty three weapons including a handgun and multiple rifle. witnesses have been recalling the horrors of the rampage at this las vegas country music festival. whoever whoever shooting they. put a new clip in magazine and start shooting again so we get down that that happens only four times before we even get out of the complex and there's so many people around
5:10 am
here that are i mean they were all dropping. so they were hurt or they were injured or they were dead and we just kept running my boss he got hit in the back as he was fleeing with me he was behind me and then my friend got here he was in front of me so i was kind of in between don't make those shots don't stop you don't hear that it's like being in a word zone and you can just hear the rounds almost like creeping up. like they're just it's like i just kept thinking late we just need to argue when i realized. i actually still trying to. actually have. him just. to run. oh. i'm just so grateful that i just missed it but
5:11 am
there's also so much pain i'm thinking like. that. thing read is free and a prison make it so you could ever have is being able to live with. steven who sent. thousands of times in the concert in las vegas lived. he killed himself after the rampage police say he had no criminal record no military background also according to the f.b.i. he wasn't linked to any terror groups there. so he. was coming.
5:12 am
i mean. even the state of emergency there's. no. there's not. we discussed the events with the kenyan who was working at the scene of the tragedy and who was personally affected by another shooting rampage in the past. one of my friends who is is pro-gun and so there needs to be stricter laws you can go to gun shows here and buy guns without any id you can buy an unlimited ammunition it's just insane for me to think that we don't have stricter laws and i know that there are people that are so pro the second amendment. the world is changing and we need to consider also changing these laws because how many more mass shootings do we need until we realize that these laws are outdated and we need
5:13 am
to change something i am from originally from the sandy hook area so when those shootings happen it's funny oh i did it the funeral of one of the victims so i have been personally affected by gun violence in the us. a republican congressman says there is a way to prove that russia didn't meddle in the u.s. presidential elections and the man with solid evidence is supposedly none other than julian assange senator dana rohrbacher says he met
5:14 am
a songe in london back in august and even promised him a deal a presidential pardon in exchange for the evidence the problem is the senator says he now meet with the whole trump in fact according to our baca he's being blocked from meeting with the president on the correspondence america has more. it's an undercutting of democracy when the guy who is elected his staffers take it upon themselves to make the decision rather than let the actual president make the decision when asked about a possible deal with assad president donald trump told reporters he hadn't heard anything about it julian assange is the founder of wiki leaks the website that's been responsible for releasing tons of information much of it very embarrassing for the u.s. government has been hiding from extradition in the ecuadorian embassy in the u.k. for the last five years now a white house official confirmed that for a backer talked to white house chief of staff john kelly about his plan however kelly reportedly turned him down and said that the plan should be left up to the
5:15 am
intelligence committee congressman rohrabacher believes the president's aides are preventing president trump from learning about the possibility of a deal with a songe this would have to be a cooperative effort between his own stuff and the leadership in the intelligence communities to try to prevent the president from making the decision as to whether or not he wants to take the steps necessary to expose this horrendous lie that was shoved down the american people's throats so incredibly earlier this year by this live a congressman is most likely referring to russian collusion speculation that russia was responsible for the d.n.c. hack a sanchez always insisted it was non-state actors who leaked the d.n.c. files to wiki leaks now according to congressman rohrabacher assad is ready to tell the truth but it looks like washington doesn't want to hear it or die just a moment when our team international will cross live in just a minute or two to barcelona our correspondent dana koch nova in the mix of demonstrators striking against police brutality and in the raged over the independence vote being cold illegal the full story in

5:21 am
three years and residents there are trying to get their lives back on track. as in that city he's been listening to local stories in there is or you'll find little i'm mocked by war every crater has its own tragic story and i think it exploded right here a neighbor was sitting here holding his two year old nephew another man was there and my son isa was right here track no hit him in the back in the waist and the legs a piece wanted his lungs he still suffers pain from it. isa has now survived isis shells twice he well remembers his last brush with death and how his sister found him. i said judy judy my back hurts but she said only my legs were hit when they picked me up they so blood flowing down my back my sister started screaming and hitting herself the first time he was nearly killed by an
5:22 am
isis shell he was just ten months old then shrapnel peppered the baby isa slicing off a toe in all he has eleven scars and a lump of jagged metal in his lungs that could still eventually kill him but at least he made it the other two year old boy at the scene wasn't so lucky these hell lasted for three years it left a mark on everyone. the word tragedy does not begin to describe what happened in there is or any door you knock on any family you talk to tell you of their loss and their suffering truly the one thing that unites this city is that everyone has a horrific story there was no place in daters or where the population could find
5:23 am
sanctuary there is no place that the battle left untouched dust craters bullet holes and devastation everywhere entire districts of the city are in ruins entire generations traumatized entire generations lost. during the battle with isis i was shot just above my jaw the bullet is still there my left eye was destroyed and i have ten percent vision in my right eye the reality of war i dels to brothers were also in the army defending dead as order they were literally protecting their family against isis he is the only one left alive these family's loss is neither unique nor the worst. i was i'm the only one to lose one three or three sons many families gave more than me in
5:24 am
my office there was a man who lost five sons and a daughter this is war war is it consumes and destroys everything. for many the worst is over the breaking of the she did us or heralded a new beginning yet others in areas still being liberated it's just the start psychological scars left behind will take decades to heal more i guess the. from there is on syria. britain's top diplomat boris johnson has accused her of being remarkably and diplomatic it's after a video or most of him reciting a colonial poem on his visit to me and earlier this year even the u.k.'s ambassador to the southeast asian state felt obliged to quietly tell him it was not appropriate.
5:25 am
it. was the right thing. the director of the u.k. burma campaign says the foreign secretaries gaffe was humiliating for the local people some are saying it's time the boris perhaps had a change of career. it's absolutely an embarrassment for britain as a whole i think that's exactly why the british ambassador picked him up on this and said look we can't do this it's culturally insensitive i wonder if boris johnson really thinks of toll when he does these things i would i would tell him to close his mouth for the time being and then promptly fortune career as a stand up comedian i'm sure he'd be brilliant but he is not a brilliant foreign secretary rapidly i mean he's cultivated this image of himself as this bumbling before saying from here to there and spouting whatever is on his
5:26 am
mind and. might be fine for someone who's appearing as a panelist on have i got news for you might even know. the mayor of london as someone who's seen as this sort of teflon coated clown but for a man who is representing britain on the world stage i think it's. showing both him and his posse to be in a very poor light thanks so much for joining us here on this tuesday on our international still lots of stories coming your way we will resume the program in about half an hour. economic development is all about numbers really leads to more of this quarter we earned one hundred six point. but what do we know about the other for.
5:27 am
over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart associate. with all due respect. i have to say i don't think that's right. there's no just no free market works. people went from pretty simple fine. pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are the just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly does. this phone the whatever the government tried to do. a few things worse. the. work. goes hopelessly disastrously wrong. about your sudden passing i've only just
5:28 am
learnt you worry yourself and taken your last turn. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry if only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest . i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters in mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker.
