seven years ago there was a truck a sergeant here in memphis who did a study of murders in two different urban areas singing in the presence or absence of guns in a home was a trigger already protection order and his conclusion was that the presence of the gun was more likely to cause a murder or death by gun than the absence of a gun in a home. a everybody in stephen paul. collingwood guy suspects ever proud american interests george bush and r.v. to suggest this is my buddy max the famous financial guru that will use

a little bit different. with all the drama happening in our country and i'm sure good to have some fun every day americans. at the start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. you're at it up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words and helps 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 more like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind gets consumed with death that's one difference i speak to now as there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. russian market. this little bundle of joy would have no chance of surviving in the wild mother pandas can only wear one cup at a time but usually give birth to two. every year china put a lot of effort into making up for this cruel mistake of nature.

is just. china's panda breeding has become something of a production line. it's almost as though they've been copied three d. printed and put on show for the public good news for several cubs are born here each year. but only left work by dedicated scientists will be for nothing if panda love can't be encouraged in captivity it's not as though they don't practice at all but in the same lazy way they do everything else with this proud mommy gave birth to twins and has no idea that a special love potion was formulated just for the. the protests held against the enter a convention took place ten days after columbine. what happened at

columbine on april twentieth one thousand nine hundred ninety nine was that to two young men who were intent on killing as many students as they could they opened fire on students outside and then went when when confronted with a police presence they went inside the school began shooting there went into the library that's where they they they killed and injured the most students and that's that's where my son was then went worse as the day went on no word from him being asked by the police if we could provide a description of him and what he was wearing at one point asking for dental records and being told at one point that there was one last school bus bringing students. back from. when you're waiting for forty five minutes for a bus that should have only taken

a couple of minutes i then began to realize that there was no last school bus. how old was daniel. fifteen. seventeen years ago when we last met i think it ended in tears for me because i realized again what i what i would do if they came to take my gun

that would be the end of it for. this country for sure and i'm not willing to hand that over. no i'm able to do it and i know i would do it. protect my rights. the rights of my friends the rights of my loved ones the rights of this country. you mean struggle. or i don't think so. either of you or i would let it go easily and probably not while i'm living. i feel like there are a lot of gun owners out there who don't take the responsibility of owning guns carrying guns storing guns i don't think they take it seriously enough why the

resistance to regulation. because it leads to more regulation. that's too slippery of a slope we can't have laws to protect people from their own stupidity. one hundred eighty degrees backus guys is a word sexy when they talk about guns i'm not going to but they're all mantic. they're emotional. no no no when. you don't know you. you don't know. you don't know you in. a well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state comma the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. the second amendment in every state constitution

guarantees my right to keep and bear arms why for my personal safety and to preserve liberty that's why. it's called america. and its allies around the solution i've heard him say school i think there's somebody shooting in here. mass shootings in america have become almost commonplace but the sandy hook school massacre where six and seven year olds were targeted by gunman reached a new level of horror and cops the rules of the american gun debate. today cause me to want to strengthen and absolutely not i think if one of those teachers the principal who never had had a gun. that young man possibly would not have killed anyone or. do you think it's he. it's all i think

a properly trained teacher. can and. just the need to deal with i think is friggin fantastic certain school districts are training their teachers so they can carry a weapon. and school. we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see how fast we get on the buses how fast we do this who actually got hit by the paint ball gun. straight cool but pretty. scary to the swat team comes in her room and they're like ok everybody out you know put your hands up and we're all put our hands up we're terrified and takes us out so. we had a saw to him yes we did. yes this is

a middle school. so we could do. that possibility of oh yeah we could be prepared. what do every single mass shooting have in common gun free zone. i mean there was i think it was an all go all the colorblind. from my cold dead. you know i think that part of the problem is that the gun lobby has been very successful in getting their message out much more so than those who want to see reasonable gun laws they control the narrative that you're either for the second amendment or against it you're either for freedom or against freedom there's surest way to stop a bad guy with

a gun is a good way that god. hears after these mass shootings gun sales do tend to go up just because people start getting freaked out people think that the government is gonna take our guns i mean i hate seeing the shootings happen but it is definitely it is good for business. this is a smith and wesson m.m.p. fifteen in is our best selling weapon right now they're pretty tough. here. and. assault weapons truck control the city. what is the this is a semiautomatic rifle. is it is in no an assault weapon no one else.

similar magic one pull the trigger one shot and that is what differentiates is it in your eyes the fight the ones fully automatic and the other isn't right why are they called survivor so that. because the media and the left wing politicians one mega bogeyman itis. a tool. plesiosaur russell i mean this is a fight even about what it is i know i know and i should even call them an assault rifle we're going to it's a military style weapon that's what they want me to say a sporting gun you know you know different names but it's the same thing it's a military weapon. not a reason to buy an assault rifle is if you're going to make an assault on an enemy position and you need a lot of bullets because you've got a lot of people in the position you're attacking the assault rifle was near.

it seems to me you don't need an assault rifle to kill a deer this this ongoing debates that some people have about whether things like the a k forty seven and the a r fifteen are so weapons are not that whole discussion is absurd that the estee greatest friend and a mass shooter could have. been having a one. on one of the. right. to two killers. went out in search of guns they were under eighteen they got an eighteen year old to go to the gun show to a gun show with them to make the purchase they purposely sought out a private seller that's the so-called gun show loophole where you can go to a gun show and a one table for the license dealer you have to go through a background check table of a private seller no background check. there's

guns that i sold and everybody sells every gun dealer that a found all around the united states in crimes they should have you know mandatory registration nationwide everybody owns a gun it should be registered and i am and they're responsible for that weapon why should you let some kid walk in a gun store buy fifteen guns and be able to give them to fifteen of his friends with no receipt even sold them and everything's legal that means guns could be shipped in from the east coast in the west coast and sold in a newspaper to it to anybody that kick the can pass a background check that's how the criminals get guns. about forty percent. of all gun sales are private sales they don't go through a background check and these are not going through a licensed dealer imagine going to an airport and have to go through security and

they said ok we're in have sixty percent of the people go through security and forty percent can bypass it when you get onto that airplane. i think. i can take you right now thirty three miles from here and buy you anything you want on the side of the road to do something in the black market dealers it's out there facebook for example you can buy guns. you know but just try it with a product and that is still legal in tennessee you can as of now you can still be product sales in tennessee but without without about ground check you can't so you can so that any one yes so to try to introduce. that shouldn't be. without ground check do you should we shouldn't.

you know also that after her not so well there needs to be some things done to people where they're back to working again and not being given money by the government to run around and do whatever they will but there's a lot of things we could there dressed maybe that's not the only problem could be some mental health issues could be drugs cause of it for all i don't know that but we are not the problem. it's. going to be. should anything be done. now. the national solution take it's course. oh no no no no no no no no no. no when.

just go with the flow the best out of the delicious. concepts that i was preparing to perform i had to actually prepare myself to die i. don't know said he'd what do you know so you trust me. as most of. the snow in homo stuff turned. her. scanty clothes. she had a good. soul. what it was that he could with us he was just not. me she.

b.s. . oh no appetite i mean for conflict is very very low these days and publics are much more eager to see economic improvement than they are to. actually get into a fight with a neighbor or or with other powers in the world. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to mean to people this is the simple song alone even some company else with a billion fine to private companies to take over the huge of the two so many but

a hell of. a lot for mr guys to go along to prove. this is. for you. locals are ready to stand up for the basic human rights of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than water it's about the hurt and the redistribution of. this. date downwards the one notable. moment off selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still . produce thoughts credit tell you that gossip picked up with my file for the most important news today. off the bat as i think you are not cool enough to fight. the hawks that we along with all those watching.

i think it's terrible you want to know the truth i think it's a disgrace a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than. the f.b.i. and u.s. justice department to use the highly dubious dossier to obtain a warrant. from twenty six the election campaign those are the claims made in a newly released declassified memo. also this hour nato members turkey and greece enter a threatening rao over the sovereignty of two small whiles threatening to break legs if this doesn't back down. the record moderate sign of police corruption scandal the u.s. city of baltimore is introducing a so-called cease fire weekend hoping to temporarily stop a spate of killings people all around the city make commitments to just be peaceful

and not be valid for three days with this weekend if we keep it in two we see the weekend on the sides. are you watching our international live from moscow. thanks so much for joining us this hour. now the release of the highly anticipated congressional memo approved by the u.s. president has ended speculation on one matter and started it on another this time over the fate of the investigation into don't trump links to russia here's a breakdown of the controversial document it claims the u.s. justice department and the f.b.i. illegally obtained the warrant for the surveillance of a former trump aide and to be granted the warrants the f.b.i. used the dossier allegedly funded by the democratic party and clinton foundation i think it's terrible if you want to know the truth i think it's

a disgrace what's going on in this country i think it's a disgrace the memo was sent to congress it was declassified congress will do whatever they're going to do but i think it's a disgrace what's happening in our country and when you look at that and you see that and so many other things what's going on in a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that of the democratic party was opposed to the memo being made public now seems to be preparing to declassify one of its own documents to counter this latest republican one kelly morgan breaks down all the controversy surrounding its release. for over a year there's been an investigation by congress into donald trump for alleged collusion with russia satellite all start well according to the recently declassified memo it all started with the foreign intelligence surveillance act a warrant issued allowing the government to spy on trump during his presidential campaign so how do you get a warrant to spy on

a presidential campaign well you present the pfizer court with a da ca in this case it's the infamous steel dossier now the f.b.i. chief admitted that it was dubious but he still used it and the f.b.i. still relied on it i was speaking to him and briefing him about some salacious unverified material no surveillance weren't would have been sucked from the foreign teligent surveillance court without the still ducey information so you present the court with a dot ca you pretty much don't believe because it'll help you get a warrant to spy on who you want now this is what deputy attorney general bruce or said about christopher steele the former british agent and his agenda steele was desperate that donald trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president so why would a judge issue a warrant based on a dusty a that was pretty non-credible oh that's because the f.b.i. never told him that according to the memo this was intentionally left out of the

report now trump tweeted last year. terrible just found out that i had my wires tapped in trump tower just before the victory nothing found this is mccarthyism surrender all those people that mock trials tweet and said oh federal agencies could never spy on people unless they have good reasons that couldn't have happened well it started to look like it did happen and trying to tweet is not so funny after all caleb mop and r.t. new york. experts we spoke to a concern that surveillance role was used as a political tool not for security reasons we could know what the their intelligence agencies are doing this must be protecting the american people from from threats but this one was a case where they intervene in a political process that looks like and that's highly unusual and very disturbing this is how the f.b.i. does business they do it surreptitiously they do it by stabbing people in the back

they do it by setting people up by entrapping them by tricking them and that's exactly what they did with the place of court they played the face of court judge by not telling them the source of this deal they plead that judge by not telling them that this was a partisan. report and and they got their warrant they got their warrant anyway. turkey's threatening to break the legs of officials from its nato ally greece the two countries really open a rally over the sovereignty of two small islands athens will feel the anger of turkey we will break the arms and legs of any offices of the prime minister or of any minister who dares to step on to him yet in the aegean unspeakable statements like these are elie into european political culture we have said this before each should know their place additionally we would like to remind him that the legal status of the gene is clear and guaranteed by international law. well you can see

on the map here the uninhabited territories being disputed over turkey has made recent incursions towards the islands after a greek court denied the extradition of eight men and they were involved in the failed coup in twenty six the let's take a look at some of the details here originally the oilers were part of the ottoman empire but they've long since been recognized by the e.u. as greek territory or the sovereignty issue ignited back in december ninety ninety five when a turkish boat ran a greek about shaw and this was followed by a succession of turkish and greek attempts to remove each other's flag from the island even by turkish journalists for the belgian parliament member and political expert load van who says he's not surprised by the route between athens and i'm crying. don't be angry have a past of military conflict i mean in the seventy's they were even at war at some point it's not a surprise that these two could meet on number stage. in such

a situation when it won't make that much of a difference of course the other countries are very poor it that this is my get out of hand you know that of course they do not like to nato members at war but nato has always survived these kind of skirmishes especially between greece and turkey we should not forget that all rhetoric aside and need to it was never about democracy and human rights i mean when nato was founded greece was a military dictatorship and turkey was a military dictatorship that did not impede their nato membership so i think on the whole things will go on as usual just the only thing that we have to take care is that this does not get out of hand this can always happen of course. the us city of baltimore would reduce a ceasefire this weekend but tackling the record high murder rates and stopping a spate of killings is the third ceasefire of its kind time comes as members of

a police unit in the city are on trial in one of america's biggest corruption scandals r.t. samir a card has been following it all for r.t. . this weekend activists are calling for a seventy two hour cease fire asking for a weekend without any violence whatsoever this is a third event of its kind in the last six months but these cease fire weekends began in august when baltimore's homicide rate reached a record high last year with three hundred forty three murders the highest in the u.s. people all around the city make commitments to just be peaceful and not be violent for three days and to celebrate life and do life affirming event so their events all over the city would distort what a weekend he would keep it into a weekend of no home the sides the rise is partly attributed to a drastic drop in arrests made by the gun trace task force which is now dissolved as most of its members are on trial but there's been some damage control authorities have replaced its police commissioner baltimore police commissioner kevin davis was fired the notice shocked many this morning as mayor catherine pew

pushed out a press release at eight o'clock this morning i'm impatient we need violence. we need the numbers to go down faster than they are however his appointment came as somewhat of a shock his name almost instantly brought back memories of police shootings back in one thousand nine hundred five nevertheless the new commissioner came out guns blazing with a bunch of reforms including predictive policing a computer system that can estimate the date place and even the possible perpetrator of a crime that's yet to be committed he's planning to install more surveillance cameras and deploy more patrols to trouble districts but stepping up surveillance doesn't really sound like a new plan even the department of justice advised against it both tomorrow enforcements widespread constitutional and is current replace thing has exacerbated community distrust of the police particularly in the african-american community as court hearings continue here in baltimore many fear that there could be a problem much greater than one rogue unit and some of the latest testimonies.

jenkins the indicted officer told me he had hand-picked the gun trace task force to be a front for a criminal enterprise he also said there were officers from other units working with him baltimore police provided security for jenkins when he met with the drug supplier from new york despite efforts to reform the system it seems that every testimony undermines citizens trust in law enforcement and there are still weeks of trials to come samir khan r t reporting from baltimore the small german city of court worse is the latest to make a stand against newcomers in the country an increased police presence is expected this weekend with mass protests planned for saturday because his home to around a hundred thousand people so it's chancellor angela merkel opened germany's borders the refugees two years ago the city's given asylum to around three thousand people a policy however continues to create tension in small town.
