1:07 pm
friend and i tried to help but we weren't allowed. incident took place as president vladimir putin was meeting the gyptian president abdel fattah el-sisi in such close but i think is down off reports on that from the black sea resort. mission the all of us journalists myself included gathered here in sochi for the meeting between the russian president vladimir putin and his egyptian counterpart but as we learned about the tragedy in courage and as more and more details emerged that completely overshadowed whatever was on the agenda today so expectedly one of lattimer putin finally showed up in front of the media he opened with a statement on curch which. i want to express my deepest condolences to the relatives of those who have been killed i hope that all the victims will recover as soon as possible we will do everything we can to help them we already know this is
1:08 pm
a crime and we are looking deeply into the motives and versions of what's happened all the results of the investigation will be made public dear friends see a memory of all the victims let's honor them with a minute's silence. before letterman putin showed up journalists kind of briefly had wondered whether or not vladimir putin would cut his program short and traveled to courage himself i asked about this the press secretary of lattimer putin the trip is called and he said that well for now all such reports can all be confirmed still. at least right now is staying here in salt and of course we can all just speculate as to what the reasons could be behind this but my colleague also a journalist here in presidential poll submitted his version of why you have a listen. the president will not go to college even
1:09 pm
a quick visit by the president will disrupt curch crimea and all its services and people need to work there provide help conduct an investigation the president goes so their work is not hindered indeed it could be just that vladimir putin letting all professionals on the ground in crimea focus on their work focus on what's important and that's saving lives and finding out what was behind the horrific massacre in. the similarities are being drawn to another infamous atrocity that was carried out almost twenty years ago ortiz but in a culture of our. two words that come to mind after a wednesday tragic events copycat attack the scenario of the school massacre and the crimean city of courage as old but our carbon kopi off another school shooting that took place in the u.s. and nineteen years ago columbine became the worst school massacre in america and perhaps an inspiration to
1:10 pm
a young shooter from crimea the similarities are trailing one of the columbine shooters sound the crimean gunman are all of the same age only eighteen years old they were even dressed and similar a black and white. it's and they act as if from the same playbook explosives placed in the can tina serious of gunshots suicides in the school library the difference there were two shooters and the columbine attack and they killed thirteen students the crimean gunman was acting alone but somehow he managed to keel even more but what's even more disturbing he wasn't the first one to draw his inspiration from the columbine pair earlier this year two students attempted to carry out a similar attack and the city of perm they too were monts of eight by the american massacre the question is how many more will follow the gruesome example.
1:11 pm
terrorism expert dr doug weeks joins me on the enough place with a. few hours ago that point though we really didn't know too much into the details we know much more now so let's just get you'll take an interpretation of what we do know how would you assess first of all the profile of this main suspect that's been established as is it in law and with what we've seen in the violent school incidents. well potentially yes i mean there is a whole army ration which kills not known. to me. not a nation which means that the motivation for the attack so i can tell automatic to . uncover smiling in me difficult in probably dangerous can
1:12 pm
speculate on what his motivations were whether that had something to you mental illness whether or not there rooms a grudge when you don't know at this point what to what made him do what he knew what would have been the trigger points for students in previous cases so i think generally when you see it. you know and remember some a nation employee now can be an outsider now and if you were environment or room and the old gently simple in the end and try an exact revenge you know we're just normal patients as well. you know people suffering from various mental illness and so that engaged in violent acts too so it's really difficult to. really count a rise exactly what's going on
1:13 pm
a lot of people are saying that if you look at the characteristics of this attack today there are many many similarities to what happened in in columbine if that's if that's the case why do you think columbine is so so influential seventy years on . well it probably has served to recreate you time and time and time again by social media and people who have been here and to consider making similar action our problem we've drawn by the ability to. see the menu in the news reports and everything else that has commune with similar interests so it's not necessarily surprising that there are many parallels drawn here given back to the shooter in the thinking you were. born with another school shooting. there will be lots of people who will say that
1:14 pm
the world we live in today is much more violent for students teenagers children exposed to high levels of violence battle on t.v. in computer games to think that any credence to that argument in that it might have an influence or not. well i think i mean certainly from the times you know before columbine and in years past when work chains and grief of violence on campuses that we are today so i mean you think that there is been an escalation of violence but i also think that the thing that is often not necessarily discussed is need steps that have been taken by school officials now pretty much all levels of education. and there's been extraordinary progress i think in that regard but you can't protect
1:15 pm
your money from everything and so i think that is where. the. unique. and you are in the most attention is because they are promoting so heavily in the media and of course their horrific events is still less than twelve hours since his attack took place early stages of the investigation and you know experience what are the authorities looking for this point. well there are still i think wanting to ensure that the attacker in this. act alone something reports are suggesting that he was alone after. jimmy sure the stories we're going to want to everything and i was quickly as possible you know i'm sure that
1:16 pm
not information was accurate once that car was down which are also currently with their investigation they're going to start getting very heavily into his background talking to his family talking to his friends not going to buy whether or not it was in the accomplices what happened but also by me what the motivations were and whether or not anybody can provide any explanation or insight as to why he went you see so many subtly of these incidents in the u.s. it doesn't seem as if there's any way to stop these attacks if someone puts their mind to it that has been suggested to us in the states should be armed do you think is a viable solution will that make a difference. you know we may be different and it is not my opinion by a whole solution and may probably be. a whole host
1:17 pm
of issues surrounding that not the least of which is. educational instructors are there. not be. people whole or handgun ready if you will so i think that is. a burden to much to ask the teachers and the faculty there is also the issue. and. although with the. unfortunately occur with some regularity still remain for most of the men. in the class one would have to question how many other incidents of accidental nature of some being shot or something else happening would.
1:18 pm
be i make. serious question about whether or not that would be viable in my. greatly appreciate you coming back for the second time today giving as you analysis my guess terrorism expect. more news from today coming your way after the short break. when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the frame of. the one percent. nor middle of the room six.
1:19 pm
shots seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just the active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. by the us or to staters wrapped up a trip to turkey where he discussed the investigation into missing journalist jamal khashoggi might compose previous stop was saudi arabia which has been accused of killing the man in its consulate in istanbul we had gave assurances to pump
1:20 pm
a zero that it would fully cooperate in the probe. i made a commitment to. anyone next to any wrongdoing that may be found accountable for that whether they are secure officer official they promised accountability for each of those persons whom they determine as a result of their investigation so it just serves accountability. for the country the country. is a few years. old. so. the saudi side again strongly denied any knowledge of what happened to g. yesterday a nine hour turkish led search operation was conducted at the consulate in istanbul access was finally granted fifteen days after the journalist was last seen following the search turkey's president said investigators were looking into
1:21 pm
a possibility that been an attempt to hide evidence on repainting the walls the case has attracted intense global media scrutiny. president trump is criticizing the condemnation of saudi arabia over the case of missing journalist jamal khashoggi president's stunning statement as three sources tell c.n.n. that a high ranking officer with the saudi intelligence agency oversaw the saudis are now claiming was an interrogation and he wanted to a building a never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was saudi if shogi is dead said republican senator marco rubio today the u.s. must respond or it risks its own standing. meanwhile politicians and media personalities say that the saudis this of condemnation for much more than just the khashoggi case. how do you think president trying to respond if it's proven that the saudis were behind his disappearance if not murder one of the strong things
1:22 pm
that we could do is not only stop military sales not only put sanctions on saudi arabia but most importantly get out of this terrible terrible war in yemen led by the saudis why have our lawmakers in the media turned a blind eye to the atrocities committed against yemen every day by the u.s. and saudi arabia. on sunday an air raid hit minibuses in the key yemeni port of her day killing at least fifteen civilians and injuring twenty others that's according to the united nations who fighters accuse the saudi led coalition of carrying out that attack a dead has recently become the most violent frontline in the three year long war in the country the saudi government said that it would investigate reports of civilian death advocacy advisers on yemen suz medium believes that the sale of weapons to the warring parties is only worsening the crisis. the numbers are very hard to grapple with thirteen million people on the brink of famine is one that should be
1:23 pm
compared to the entire population of countries where almost eighteen million. you. can hear many. parents don't know when they send their children to school whether to come home or whether the bombs will hit the school almost every aspect of their daily lives her going to affected by. this you want to have. some children recently with open wounds on their legs that they can afford to treat twenty million are really there for. only eighty percent of the population this is a crisis that is entirely manmade and could have been avoided and could indeed be avoided if we saw some serious action from the parties to the conflict and the allies in the saudi led coalition including the u.s. u.k. france germany and others. overall the u.n.
1:24 pm
claims the situation in yemen is catastrophic warming up to thirteen million people are facing starvation if the war doesn't soon figure represents almost half the entire yemeni population the u.n. has said that we could see quote the worst famine in one hundred years with other aid agencies also raising the alarm. we are seeing a huge amount of duplicity from powerful countries countries like the u.k. in the us are consistently throwing money at the problem of this humanitarian crisis in yemen helping us reach people with food and water but meanwhile they're profiting from the sale of weapons that are perpetuating the war it seems to me that there are political interests at play. are overriding the entire interests. yemeni people so our question to those flowers is jobs in the u.s. and u.k. more valuable than you had. in germany a kindergarten i was called you can drop a suit for promoting itself as a nursery with hardly any migrants the daycare center claims this message has been
1:25 pm
misunderstood but it's attracted criticism for other promotional initiatives to finish a set explains. when hunting for a daycare center for your children what tops the list great teaching good cadmus not mr well how about hardly any migrants one can say cotton in the wealthy town of hamburg promoted just that leaving some parents moved to fight in a promotional price they highlighted the following. of the families with the migrant bank ground only a few take care they've since deleted the sentence was deleted one sentence that accurately describes the fact that there are only a few families with a migration background the kindergarten few families does not mean no families at all the kindergarten also insisted it stands for inclusion and equally expensive children of german origin and families with the migration backgrounds but that's not the kindergartens only statements that true criticism it adds that the
1:26 pm
financial situation of parents living in the kindergartens area is excellent. number of parents because you self employed activity such as lawyers doctors organizational consultants brokers business owners the backlash was quick to follow . yeah enough money you can do as much stay decades in until you have them let the stupid plagues mingle with you these are the nazis in the guise of clean pure democrats should lead in mosques itself with an immigrant free daycare center and the villa neighborhood a socially lete we decided to say what jim and think about the issue as a mother i would not accept it i mean you should and you could use other ways to attract people so one thing to do because if you don't know each other you can't live together you can only understand each other when you grow up together from the earliest moment people will have international meet people from all of
1:27 pm
that have all and so i think it's. really really important already you. people. different cultures different ways of living and so on it also parents favor a multicultural society when it comes to word to send their children this start bringing attention to the proportion of need to financials in the schools and so forth so there might be discrepancy between what they say or do our daughter was in the kindergarten for spanish germans and so there were a lot of nations that even the asians and germans together and spanish and german and kindergarten so children both languages in kindergarten everyone wants the best for their children whether the best means having known my point classmates and why the school should be bragging about this issue is another matter altogether and. belin. ok we are
1:28 pm

1:29 pm
around fifty people we gather were injured then many shrapnel wounds so these were appropriate professional improvised explosive devices with shrapnel bolts and other bits inside them maximized for efficiency maximised to whom then to kill the assailant then an eighteen year old apparently was also shouldn't at the college he went on a rampage shooting at stop shooting at students and one girl one girl who was a shouldn't at that college watched her friend die in front of her eyes. even if you know the ones that have all. grows the. idea. was the father would be good. but little girl.
