newsroom and simone del rosario simone i what can you tell us about law enforcement investigation into the shooter at this point what exactly do we know well actually what we know is that law enforcement is confident that the shooter acted alone but they don't know is why and that's a big part of this investigation which is now in its second day. the las vegas metropolitan police department is working on two fronts to process the crime scene and also investigate the motive of the shooter metro and its partners have executed a search warrant at the home of steven craig patrick in muskegon about a detectives are combing through evidence to uncover the motive behind the shooting and any other pertinent information that will help shed light on this horrible event now here is what investigators have found so far twenty three firearms in the shooter's hotel room at mandalay bay nineteen more in his home in mosquita nevada in the hotel room multiple loaded high capacity magazines which lead law enforcement to the conclusion he could have inflicted even more destruction and

death they also found several pounds of ammonium nitrate in his car which can be used as an explosive and is most commonly found in fertilizer at a las vegas metropolitan police department along with the mosquito police department have searched through the shooter's home in a newly built retirement subdivision in misc where they found those at least one thousand additional guns now it's about eighty miles away from the los vegas strip where the shooter traveled to to commit this horrendous massacre early information out of the investigation revealed he frequently traveled from this home to las vegas to play high stakes poker now according to authorities the killer lives here with his girlfriend who was originally listed by police as a person of interest and he was out of the country at the time of the shooting authorities say she is no longer a person of interest but are looking to her for more information we are continuing the investigation into that female on there are several questions that need to be answered similar to what you propose but she is currently out of the country we are

making arrangements to contact her upon her return. you know i believe she's in tokyo. and she is expected to return to the united states wednesday las vegas police and the f.b.i. are currently combing through the festival grounds looking for any clues and also just processing the crime scene of what is the deadliest mass shooting in modern american history again the death toll stands at fifty nine lives right now nearly five hundred thirty are injured right now the information is not get adding up to authorities as of now all indications point to the shooter purchasing this multitude of firearms legally he underwent the necessary background checks and didn't raise any red flags he does not have a criminal history and as authorities understand it no history of mental health illness or extreme political or religious ideology there are unconfirmed reports the shooter wired one hundred thousand dollars to the philippines about a week before the shooting that's where his girlfriend is from so the conversation authorities have with her upon her return might provide some useful information now

the last bit of information i have for you this video is the exact suite in mandalay bay where the shooter launched his assault room thirty two one thirty five a guest back in january of two thousand and sixteen took this video when he got upgraded to the suite you can see the floor to ceiling windows where the shooter would have had a clear view of the concert venue along with a pretty luxurious setting inside the suite we have yet to hear from the hotel on how the killer managed to secure this suite ahead of the attack now these are all bits of information that will continue to be pieced together as the days continue we know that a lot of people are thirsty for more information on this attack but we have to remember it is only the second day of the investigation ashley samone thanks so much for keeping us updated on the investigation simone de rosario reporting and thank you so much will be right back with more on our team america right after this quick break.

i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories in our critics can't tell you know why because their advertisers more let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when it's local ration makes a pharmaceutical big chill speed when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses and they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working.

i'm john harshman i'll give you what the mainstream media can't the big picture. turn to. spend time here. and when the question find what you're looking for to see. the stars. will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. what you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those for the face. of like your name and what's your biggest fear at the moment hey i mean so let's talk a little bit old you say if you. want to. it's one topic doesn't . now i didn't use you to push.

according to a quinnipiac university poll american voters strongly favor gun control legislation by a margin of ninety two to seven percent this includes ninety two to six percent among current gun owners while support for enforcing stronger background checks ranges from eighty six to eleven percent among republicans and ninety eight to two among democrats voters also overwhelmingly support laws preventing individuals with mental illness from purchasing guns eighty nine to nine percent r t spoke with mitch caesar the former florida state party chair and the wake of the los vegas shooting caesar called for direct public action as a means of countering the rhetoric disseminated by the gun lobby and the us i think it's going to have to end up almost like a social movement seriously like women's rights were civil rights it's going to have to take to the streets it's going to have to make enough people scared if the

deaths of all these people little children are going to do what then something's wrong with this country and the fact that the n.r.a. has a stranglehold frankly on most republicans in congress has come those shares of gun stocks are soaring as a result of one of the deadliest mass shootings to occur in modern u.s. history. the tragedy in las vegas and discuss it's discussed in today's politicking as well larry king is joined by u.s. representative steve cohen who we ask if the bloodshed will change anything in america's gun control here's a sneak peek just how are we ever going to get anything changed on gun control after a las vegas. we certainly should it was a tragic and awful thing that happened but as long as the n.r.a. makes writings which is important to republicans and their primaries and also makes major contributions i don't think we're going to have enough support from members

of the opposite side of the aisle we need to have common sense gun laws no no fly laws restrictions on high capacity magazines and restrictions on assault weapons and more money in mental health but i don't think republicans will support any of that because of the n.r.a. ratings and n.r.a. contributions but the biggest mass shooting in american history. so say. three hundred thousand people have come together in barcelona to mobilize against police brutality during catalonians independence vote on sunday r.t. them and stasia churkin our report from the catalan capital it's a rambling here in cuts known as can easily be described as one of the biggest crises spain has certainly seen and a generation that could possibly lead to a splinter from not just this country but also exemplary. europe so what's happening here. over process right now where the central park

where. people are protesting and another demonstration the ones that have been taking place here the referendum for first now this particular tuesday obviously lots of excitement here this particular tuesday it was a day only ten strike and that's probably where we know that center. regional unions most grassroots movements organize for the people to come out onto the streets and strike lots of streets were closed off the outskirts omonia transportation pubs had been closed businesses even football club barcelona took part in this particular strike. since throughout the evening under the guise of not only people protesting the police brutality that cuts alone in the scene during the referendum but also the general actions of madrid when it comes to the reactions and the steps they've taken to get in the way of what has lance seen as

attempts to get in the way of them being able to speak for their rights now obviously one of the reasons all these people have been coming out onto the streets since sunday was because of the very brutal crackdown that we saw these crowds catalonian not only breaking into voting stations and taking away election ballots but also considering over eight hundred people this is been something that was seen as completely scandalous by many observers and certainly something that's our catalonia and spain a member states of the european union has certainly been surprising to watch to say the least and of course all of this comes in terms of lots of questions about what's going to happen next because obviously the cats aren't people here who do support getting out of spain have no plans to artists and to to go anywhere was madrid sees this referendum as never even heard of having taken place but we can tell you is the king of spain is going to be speaking within the next hour and also within the european parliament they're finally going to be addressing what's been

happening here and debating that as we continue to watch what i'm rubbles here. jon huntsman is appointed as the u.s. ambassador to russia and half presented his credentials to the government including russian president vladimir putin as mina is an experience envoy previously leading diplomatic missions across asia when appointed to singapore in one thousand nine hundred two he became the youngest the us ambassador and a sentry he speaks mandarin and also worked as a mormon missionary in taiwan for several years trying considered him for secretary of state before choosing rex tillerson smith is said to have business interests in russia with its family owning several chemical processing companies and the country are teasing a hawkins takes a closer look at huntsman's that nomination that president putin sic is high and listen to a speech took up his post officially him and his wife mary kay of course of the most just a few days ago he's got a very long and impressive c.v.

it has to be said he was the governor of utah state serving that post twice he was a bastard to singapore and later to china under both democratic and republican administrations he now has the tosk of trying to repair relations between the u.s. and russia something quite an enviable that has to be said given the complex relationship currently ongoing between the two countries in terms of how he sees russia how he sees relations between the two countries and indeed russia's place on the world stage he could be described as a bit of a hard liner bring some quite rhetoric about that there is no question underline no question. that the russian government interfered in the us election last year and moscow continues to meddle in the democratic process each of our friends and allies jon huntsman has promised to hold russian officials what he describes to account during his time in moscow to end human rights abuses to meet dissidents suz got a lot of plans if you like

a busy show as you'll coming up according to his was a given his very strong rhetoric outspoken much for it will be interesting to see how exactly he moves along with the power in those relations mr putin said today. they're not happy with the current state of affairs also you know russia around the united states russia. are suspect those interests and they removed. that losing war it's a predictable destructive benefit. of the united states so it will be very interesting to see how that goes over the coming months and years our team is presenting it's out of this world spacewalk three fix the project the first ad virtual reality video from outer space here's our tease jacqueline booga with more . in moscow and i am surrounded by a lot of really excited people because the first ever panoramic video shot in open space by the isis crew has just been shown here tonight and now of course that

means that we mere mortals here on earth have a chance to understand what it's like to walk outside in space while float in space i guess i should say and look around now of course so far all we've seen is the video just on a normal television screen and to get the full experience you really have to put on these special goggles everyone climbing up right now to take their turn and of course i've got someone holding my spot so that i can get a chance to look at that as well because everyone says that it's just amazing and of course the most one of the most exciting the point of this evening was an interview with a number of astronauts who are on the international space station right now as we speak it was amazing to hear their thoughts and just asked a bunch of questions about what it's like to be up there but they also of course commented on the three sixty project which they took part in the filming of let's take a listen. i'm really happy that it was us russians who were the first ones to try this technology in outer space i'm also really excited to see you because i've been

out space numerous times but no idea how it looks and vote your reality but i know for sure that it's a unique experience that i think everyone would want to share. the astronaut of course went on to say that he was of course excited to see it and very happy that everyone here on earth is going to get at least a taste of what it's like for them up on the international space station and tonight's event actually coincides with the sixtieth anniversary of the launch of sputnik one which i think you can see over my shoulder here is a model of that satellite that was the first ever artificial satellite to orbit around earth and the three sixty three sixty project actually isn't something new for r.t.a. it started back in november of last year and it's been in collaboration with the russian space agency press. cosmos and the leading spacecraft producer and there would be you know which of course in russian means energy and you can find all these videos at r.t. dot com and it's not just videos of space there's videos of protests and concerts

lots of really interesting things to see there so right now i'm waiting for my turn to try and those goals now first i'll be letting you guys know what that experience is like while dad does it for now for more on the stories we cover to go to youtube dot com slash r t america also check out our web site r t dot com for its latin america you can also follow me on twitter at ashley banks underscore r t and don't forget to question more. on all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of partners aren't you merica playing r.t. america offers more r.t. america for. many ways. just like you do you really use a good actors bad actors and in the end you could never hear all. the

park in the world all the world all the world's a stage we are playing. for decades the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics. big money. that's thrown down a lot of boys that's how we use them a new culture in this country now that's where i come in. i'm a troll i've done are to you america i'll make sure you don't get railroaded you'll get the straight talk in the straight. there.

you tube just banned the channel activists to post on september fifteenth they gave the reason multiple violations of community guidelines but youtube never gave the channel any specific strikes and they declined to provide any guidelines that the channel supposedly violated just one day the channels there and the next poof you tube disappeared it welcome to the new world of the internet activists post has been around for a few years it had garnered hundreds of thousands of views from about one hundred fifty videos on you tube had to monetize some of their videos as they've been doing to many people whose videos present radical or even just alternative ideas but the outright ban of the channel came out of the blue to its creators the last video they had posted was about the objectification of women and sex robots it wasn't even political or very controversial it was just an interview where they were talking very respectfully about women and the nature of these robots and what they say about our society so would be hard to understand why you two would have shut down the channel over that video another reason they might have shut it down could

be that activist post was actually named by the washington post as fake news after the election when they made their little fake news hit list and experience which activist posts host then our money calls surreal now i've watched many of their videos and i've even done interviews with them myself and i can tell you i've never seen them publish just outright news i didn't agree with everything they said that and i've had different opinions from them over the years but there channel has always been less about breaking news and more about discussion that's what i always liked it was a place where people with alternative viewpoints could discuss things in a way not represented in the mainstream media and i suspect that's the real reason you tube took down their channel because they were a place where alternative perspectives could grow up that's what's going to be squashed more and more in the coming years from you tube and google. and facebook and twitter from anywhere masses that people congregate online and they won't even have to give a reason but in the end anyone with an alternative perspective will know why it's

a brave new world all right and as activist posts host says famously all of what. most people think just stand out in this is this you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read truth to stand the news business you just need to ask the right questions. the right answer . question.

the warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles. that you saw the credit tell you that will be gossip and public by files. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with our audience will walk. it's called the feeling of freedom and. everyone in the world should experience flamingo and you'll get it on the old the old. the old courting just.
