up up i'm up against the stage stage left against that huge monitor along with a bunch of people who were all still look around each other thinking it was fireworks look at the sky expecting to start to see sensations of things popping in the air that didn't occur now i'm thinking there must be some kid in the back street the reader hasi on his history of hi there i'm thinking maybe he's back asana some stupid kid one of those big strands of fireworks but then it kept coming it was echoing resonating all around us then we were thinking they just come out of the p.a. system because how on a rope is this be resonating like this i look behind me at the crowd of twenty thousand people and i don't see anybody being blown apart so i'm thinking it's fake it's fake mean these guys are talking it's fake fake it was laying down we're praying it's fake and then also the third verse start coming and i start seeing people getting shot standing behind me and i'm kind of protected by the uprights of the whole stage because i am right up against the stage thank the lord twenty minutes for that i was no thirty feet back with other people dancing and i could

have been in that group that was sprayed so for some reason i moved forward about twenty thirty feet that put me in a place where i wasn't subjected to. the firing pin so first disbelief and they'd be he will then you sell simply die with your own eyes what would your mind to sell a dead body i thought i was in a holocaust movie it just tripped me i couldn't believe israel kept some myself it's not real it's not real and it was so i could picture it my memory black gentleman with one of those light gray or those shiny green neon vests he's an usher and he's laying flat on his back with a bullet in his head a pile of blood around i'm thinking holocaust movie how in the hell by end up here and just fear fear and then i end up getting right where i found him i was accident in his bottleneck the bunch of people that another burst around started happening i happen to be near the metal structure of the protected the butchering stage so i hit the dirt in a bunch of ladies kind of head behind this metal we're just list. and i'm just

hearing her ricocheting bullets are all around me i'm thinking and i hear and find first said that the firing at the time. you know let's see how are you doing just a few days and five i mean i think really helped with that power. i've talked to a lot of people my church had a vigil yes that morning i went to a prayer vigil and i'm actually trying to process it and we have been reading the says if you discuss it it's healthy you don't bottle it up i want to give the hospital talk to some people yesterday just to try to meet survivors like myself and and talk about it because if i bottle up i'm afraid of crazy and i see you're still wearing your wristband with a knife yeah it is just telling you it's the worst that they've done.

i don't want to forget. the powerful powerful stuff certainly i mean the community is coming together and so far i've felt family page has been set up eight point eight million dollars has been raised so far so good thank you very much for joining us all to post one of the tosses we not tell you want you to walk around this community you know everyone knows bagus it's all about the entertainment it's all about the glitz it's all about the glamour the shows and i really wanted to get to the heart of how this tragedy has affected that part of this town that's that's that's what the lifeblood of this town so i talked to the iconic producer david sacks who has produced probably fifteen to seventeen major major productions here in town as two theaters in planet hollywood and his family has deep deep roots in wagner's say his face father was a saxophone player and bandleader for the rat pack back in the fifty's and sixty's you. his is family is that entertainment lifeblood of this town and he was he was

nice enough to sit down with me earlier today and and talk about what happened and i started by asking asking david you know given his family's long history given its roots what about the city's reaction to the what about the city's reaction to this tragedy truly truly surprised him shocked him let's take a listen to what he had to say. plus i am shocked. we're all shocked but. there's so much going on in this town there's so many concerts and events and and i guess in retrospect now you think wow i can't believe something didn't happen sooner and there's just so many opportunities but i guess. the police and all the efforts here so heightened all the time that there. just goes to show you how effective it's been to date us locals people who were born here i was born and raised here there's just a vibe though. i guess this is the first time i'm ever feeling it and that's.

we were hit at our home and they say never really happened never never like this and it's just boys it putting this community together everyone is affected in some way shape or form and i know so many people my my daughter's dance instructors. the lady that runs the dance school and i see her every day it's looks like she's going to pull through though she got shot the test i guess trumps meeting her today. but so many people you know my box office. one of my box office girls who just called me last night and it's a sent me a text that she's she's going to have to go back home and get there and she has to quit immediately because her best friend was shot right next to her and. i mean my carpenter here working here he was there his wife is a nurse and they were at the concert just left started. leave heard the gunshots

went back because they just she just knew she registered nurse and she just knew she was going to have to help people so there's definitely a sense of the community of wow we have to help right away. that is it's amazing that he got it out i'm good and. yeah it's it truly is top of the truly is we we've been speaking to so many people we all have you know friends we both have friends and people who live there and this is the thing that that hit me the most was how much they came together it really reminded me of a lot of other cities that have been through things like this such a show of strength. most definitely most definitely and you know the thing is that that's really surprising is i asked i asked david you know the next question is how is you know how is that entertainment community how is the show community responding to this like i like i said that's the lifeblood of this town you you know vegas you know it's all about entertainment gambling people come here

this is a tourist town but a lot of times because it's a tourist town we forget there is a community here but i asked him you know how as a producer of one of these shows what is the impact on that part of this business out here and shows entertainment what what's the impact this tragedy has brought let's take a listen to what he had to say. i'm very very old school you know i'm young ish but i'm extremely old school and the show must go on and i. as soon as i heard. this happened one of the first things in my mind was i'm not going to let them win i don't know if it's terrorists i don't know what it is but regardless they're not going to win they're not shutting down entertainment they're not going to stop concerts shows that we do i was pissed and i said the show must go on we're doing shows that we can't let this affect us and it wasn't. you know it sounds like it. has nothing to do with money. were anything like that it was just them were going

to when i contacted a lot of my performers of twelve or thirteen shows in town and i said how do you feel do you want to perform. and instantly everybody said yes we're getting back on that stage tonight even comedians which i mean to be a comedian and go on like that that's but so hard but there was just a feeling of we the show must go on we have to do it. the show must go on it it always seems sort of trite to people who aren't part of that but when you you know the theater community especially man or tame a community when these happens specially the live performances like this there is something so ingrained in performers that you're taught that no matter what you're there to either tell a story help people get through something just bring people together even if it's just especially in vegas the shows are about celebrating who you are and and this

town and its history. to here that is is so incredible because there are so many people who don't understand that why it's so important and i think you know hearing it from someone who's been there and especially people have lived there their whole lives there's there's there's a there's a certain sort of love compassion and strength that comes out of people from las vegas that you don't always think about and see in the you know what happens in vegas stays in vegas ads. you know you don't see a day but didn't do it you told me i didn't want to do that to make money i didn't want to do you actually opened up the theaters and so anybody who was affected can come and see the show because it broke you know if they just need to add a statement if they just want to escape from the tragedy a little while and get it out of their head come and see the show you know and just give them just escape for a few hours and it was really incredible talking with them and you know seeing that reaction from what i saw the other you know one of the older. families

entertainment life blood of. any sort but you know really you just are showing was a good while to get that out because we were the it was great we're going to be right back to you after the break as we go to break. we're going to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter that are coming up more from las vegas and interview and an update from catalonia as the fight for independence from the spanish government keeps fighting and watching the. economic development is all about really pleased or is this quarter we are one hundred six points. but what do we know about the other figures.

when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike du made over a twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart is says here. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. is that just you know a free market would. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devoid society from the part of the government try to do. it might be making things worse.

islam goes hopelessly disastrously wrong. with the goal make this manufacture consent to stick to public wells. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round certainly the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the night with the fact that it's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than blue. and see people you never heard of love redacted

tonight my president of the world bank so patzers until i finish please send us an e-mail. it's taken these children's homes. now it's ready to take their future. the volcano here could erupt again at any time. most people have a stark choice. live in poverty. or join a cat. but some are following a different. movie so to leave. that point about hope for a better life.

and we're back with my co-host tyrrel ventura live from las vegas. we were talking you were talking earlier to a producer in vegas who really has been giving you some really interesting thoughts about the community there it seems that this is one of those events much like nine eleven or you know the oklahoma city bombing that sort of changes the town and really sort of test its mettle it becomes a sort of touchstone to what what can be come out of this what else did you learn about that process and how this experience for vegas has been similar or different

. what's the exactly what i asked i'm just curious given his family's long history and how tied into the community years here i asked him you know it has there ever been obviously not in details but in feeling or just in emotion has there ever been anything similar that's affected by just over the years let's take a listen what you have to start. there's nothing this deep ever it's it's awful but there was. there was a lot of fear in nine eleven we had no idea what was going on there and you know everybody remembers that just because there are more is there more like mrs steria . so i just you know i'm always fearful going to be chicken little in the sky is always falling but most fearful of me i'm just one one event here in vegas is over the whole town and everything because it's all on tourism. that you know people want to trust that they can come. to be taken care of. so you know nine eleven

happened and it was we were all terrified that the whole city would just close the end of all of us recklessly. jump back quickly. but here we are. soldiering on that's the important thing i think that people need to understand the world the world of your of the united states is that you know vargas is going to weather the storm they're going to weather their strategy and they're going to keep going and it will be the burgers we we've all remember slightly different but at the end of the day the show must go on. it's one of those things that you you know it is with with what mr sachs was saying is the idea of it's you know the show must go on in the in the business of show it isn't about necessarily business for performers there is a power you have to be passionate and part of that is helping people through the worst and the best times of their life and being there and the healing process

there's a spirituality to coming together and watching things and not something that vegas brings and especially and this brings it together thank you so much for that interview and your work out there will be talking to you again tomorrow thank you so much. great work. for you to. keep the show running while i'm gone working on it. as being remains in a state of turmoil the european union is perplexed by how to handle the most significant internal crisis to date after a full day of debate the e.u. appears to accept the violent tactics embraced by spanish national police against catalonian voters in this past sunday as independence referendum meanwhile in spain the government has begun deploying military forces in response to continued threats by catalan officials to make good on the electoral outcome and unilaterally proclaim independence for the latest details we are joined by our party's honest.

in catalonia. the events unraveling in spring are seen as the biggest crisis this country has seen in a generation not only because it could change the map of spain but also so potential seeds of examples across europe now this latest wave of divisions started on october first after a highly anticipated referendum that was really years in the making where ninety percent of the people came out to vote voted in support of leaving spring now throughout the day of the referendum images of what unraveled. travels throughout the world where police entered polling stations and took away voting ballots the crackdown on people who came to vote it was seen as quite scandalous by many observers throughout the world that over eight hundred people ended up being injured according to capsule on authorities and divisions have been flying as well as passions of what happens next here in catalonia as well as in barcelona in the capital on top it all we have seen throughout days people coming out onto the

streets to protest in favor of independence to oppose independence just on tuesday tens of thousands of people had come out onto the streets of catalonia stalling traffic businesses had shut down to support a general strike as well as transportation areas were closed and major streets throughout barcelona as tens of thousands of people called for the results of the independence vote to be seen as legitimate now what's crucial here is that madrid throughout this whole time has said that the referendum is illegal they've actually at some point refused to even acknowledge it following even the hundreds of people that were injured the vote on ravelled and this debate between barcelona and madrid does not seem to be coming to any kind of resolution because barcelona and perhaps alone you keep insisting that they're going to go ahead with the results of the referendum what kind of shape this is going to take remains to be seen and we do know that the council on parliament has just unfolding an emergency session as early as monday may. this week to discuss the process of declaring catalan

independence the caps line leader made a speech where he called upon mediation to take place between barcelona and madrid and he did say that the caps line institutions would go ahead with the referendum results but still would madrid refusing to accept any kind of form of catalonia leaving spain the issue of how exactly this big crisis is going to be resolved here in spain remains to be seen reporting from barcelona and the situation especially for what's in the box. i recently spoke with professor of international relations. about what some catalonians are being reminded up with the recent reports of police violence and government oppression. first of all i think after the ballot we saw on october the first many catalans according i have spoken with many many catalans it seems to me that many of them have disconnected from the spanish state from spanish institutions many people who i would call moderates were calling the spanish police

force use occupation force used many hotels are refusing to host spanish police officers many cafes and many restaurants are refusing to open their doors to spanish police forces so i think we have reached a point of no return. that's the first thing then i also would like to say a personal note. from my experience. with schools from different parts of catalonia i spoke in particular with the people i would really shock me while i was interviewing them was the fact it was just a sentence which was repeated over and over again by different old men and old women and these was that they had already seen before that they had experienced such repression before but this was nothing new for them that the hot already known

such brutality forty years ago under the franco regime. thank you so much for joining us today. the western hemisphere seeing a new diplomatic crisis of its own as well and the united states and cuba jostling over embassy personnel with recent claims that the u.s. embassy staff have been suffering from health problems due to mysterious attacks on the compound the state department has taken drastic steps to recall its own personnel from havana and now also expelling cuban diplomats from the u.s. . visit the heart of cuba's immigrant community in miami to find out how cuban americans are reacting to the reemerging divide between our two countries the cuban coffee window at little have on a restaurant has been the focal point of many heated political conversations. this morning the expulsion of cuban diplomats from washington dominated the

dialogue you know when you for doing a job or to do a more restraint or respect the united states. growth in the u.s. and a meeting on tuesday the trumpet ministrations said it was expelling fifteen cuban diplomats in response to my. since of mysterious sonic attacks which have injured twenty two u.s. diplomats and their family members in havana u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson says quote the decision was made due to cuba's failure to take appropriate steps to protect our diplomats in accordance with its obligations under the vienna convention this order will ensure equity in our respective diplomatic operations the move comes days after the us pulled roughly sixty percent of its embassy staff from the cuban capital the castro government has vehemently denied any involvement in the incidents and is cooperating with an

f.b.i. investigation during a press conference on tuesday the country's foreign minister said the expulsion will strain bilateral relations with the us. the unjustifiable unmotivated political position to demand fifteen to be diplomats from our embassy to leave the united states is completely political act which only benefits those who want to derail the ability of both countries to improve relations. as president continues to on wind the detente between washington and polls show sixty five percent of american voters support policies of engagement with cuba. francisco parata is among those who supported president obama's effort to reestablish ties with cuba after decades of isolation i see dyson how they demand their basic bargain for the relation between cuba and the usa i try to make a trade show user believe. there's nobody friendly with the cuban government.

clearly it any. better here nation with me there usa others don't see the embassy drawdown as a game changer those was going to me soon see. the bullying. that these something going to boredom. no the moving will is a political maneuver to have no importance and while the trumpet ministration hasn't blamed the castro government for the mysterious attacks the u.s. has stopped processing visas for cubans seeking to visit the u.s. a travel warning has also been issued for americans who want to visit cuba meanwhile the fifteen diplomats expelled on tuesday have been given seventy's to leave washington reporting from miami marina port r.t. . now just can't seem to find a mission they don't want to extend you see the international space station has

been testing out the bigelow expandable activity module for two years and they've decided to keep it there for three more what makes an inflatable room so great in space well the room is actually made up of two metal ball cuts aluminum structure and multiple layers of fabric and a system that covers the thing that inflates it the purpose it's not and are stellar bouncy house for board astronauts it solves a problem everybody has lack of closet space that's right the inflatable room is used to store up to one hundred thirty cargo transfer bags and nasa plans to build another turns out space isn't just like go home too much stuff and nowhere to put it down or in months or show for you today remember everyone else my co-host hair always says in this world we're not holding real love enough so i tell you i love you on top of the wallace and keep on watching those talks and have a great day and night everyone.

in the you with this is a child can choose another because in school. with will tell a physicist teaches we don't. well sister if the cadet is interested in going in the military but we don't call themselves to see. the pentagon is funding a program to boost interest in the military. just. so that. the ball with yourself. things can go wrong. it's a great stepping stone for what you want to do but some trends are willing to tell enthusiastic children a little more they ask me call of duty is a very popular first shooter video game. is played. like call of duty to turn off call of duty oh yeah well you can turn off more than

a lot of these kids just don't hear. the darker side does the pentagon allow them to be told or does it just need more recruits. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corporate corporations around washington the washington post media the media the voters elected the businessman to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. i'm concerned about the fact that he not as states are undermining. even their idea of democracy what is happening here that is a suicidal by suicide not only of the meat but of the part of the whole system sees

with the. public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts and be the one percent. going to be really really. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to press. you to go on to be for us this is what the four three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters about our. question.

well i think that's true and i want to play. you for money laundering. i'm. off. to fight for the work. i did i'm. going to give you. unprecedented pressure that might force on to you from the united states. senate.
