a lot of conflicting information coming in early hours i'm sure the more important details that are going to come up going to emerge in the coming hours but for now we are on our way to the city itself traumatizes. and hopefully we'll find out more as to what happened. the suspect in this attack is believed to be a student of the college aged eighteen he was found dead in the building after apparently killing himself with a gun similarities are being drawn to another atrocity that happened almost twenty years ago and in a culture as details. two words that come to mind after wednesday tragic events copycat attack the scenario of the school massacre in the crimean city of courage as old but our carbon kopi off another school shooting that took place in the u.s. nineteen years ago columbine became perhaps an inspiration to a young shooter from crimea the similarities are chilling one of the columbine
5:08 pm
shooters and the crimean gunman are all of the same age only eighteen years olds they were even dressed in similar black and white and they acted as if from the same playbook explosives placed in the canteen a serious of gunshots suicides in the school library the difference there were two shooters in the columbine attack and they killed thirteen students the crimean gunman was acting alone but somehow he managed to kill evan 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 lots of aces by the american massacre the question is how many more will follow the gruesome example.
5:09 pm

5:12 pm
now with more on this story good to see caylee so we just said it. not really wanting to release any information right now it seems. any details of what was discussed. what we know what they could have discussed they could have discussed whether or not joel jamal khashoggi was indeed killed dismembered tortured out with the consul watching as reports seem to indicate however it seems that the meeting between mike pompei on the saudis seem to focus on the perfect aspects of the relationship between the u.s. and saudi arabia let's take a listen. we have lots of important relationships and then to relationships between us saudi companies government relationship things we work on together all across the world the efforts to reduce the risk to the united states of america from the world's largest state sponsor of terror ron those are border elements of u.s.
5:13 pm
national policy that are for our in americans best interests. when we come to you. as if you. do. you. now in the meeting seem to focus on saudi arabia being a purchase or a primary purchaser of u.s. goods primarily military hardware as well as might pump ayos of view of saudi arabia as an ally against iran which he sees as the primary source of evil in the region now what was said by my palm peo after his meeting isn't that different from what we heard from his boss donald trump the u.s. . president let's take a listen to what he said saudi arabia has been a very important ally of ours in the middle east and we are stopping the rain and
5:14 pm
trying to stop was stopping over everyone a big step for we took away that ridiculous deal that was made by the previous administration and they are an ally we have a very good allies in the middle east but if you look at saudi arabia they're an ally of tremendous purchaser. now what we heard from donald trump those words come as political pressure is mounting against the trumpet ministration in response to widespread outrage about the incident let's see what's been said president trump is criticizing the condemnation of saudi arabia over the case of missing journalist jamal khashoggi presidents 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 in never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was saudi if dead said republican senator marco rubio today the u.s.
5:15 pm
must respond or it risks its own standing. now the administration seems to have very strong trust in saudi arabia they assure us that saudi arabia will get to the bottom of what occurred and what actually took place in the incident eventually. we're going to give them the space to complete their investigations of this incident when they issue their report before our judgment about their next step and the decisions they make about accountability connected to that. so the world just has to sit back and wait and have faith in the kingdom of saudi arabia. but update live from our correspondent in new york thank you. i said to germany now where a kindergarten has courted controversy for promoting itself as being a nursery with quote hardly any migrants the daycare center says that its message is simply be misunderstood but it's attracted criticism for other promotional
5:16 pm
initiatives too and he said he explains. when hunting for a daycare center for your children what tops the list great teaching good cat nice atmosphere 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 this is equally a pencil children of german origin and families with a migration backgrounds but that's not the kindergartens only statements the true criticism it outs that the financial situation of parents living in the
5:17 pm
kindergartens area is excellent but large number of parents pursue self-employed activity such as lawyers doctors organizational consultants brokers business owners the backlash was quick to follow. yeah enough money can do as much stay decadent 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 the social elite we decided to say what germans think about the issue as a mother i would never 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 work and live together you can only understand each other when you grow up together from the your list moment people will have international meet people from all of the table and so i think it's. really really important already young. people
5:18 pm
. different cultures different ways of living and so on although parents favor a multicultural society when it comes to words on their children they start bringing attention to the proportion of native nationals 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 you know nations and germans together and this was the spanish in german and in their god so children both languages thinking about everyone wants the best for their children but whether the best means having known my point classmates and why the school should be bragging about this issue is another matter altogether and not say. well the u.s. secretary of state has wrapped up a trip to turkey where he discussed the investigation into missing journalist jamal
5:19 pm
khashoggi my pump is previous stop with saudi arabia who's been accused of killing the man in its consulate in istanbul riyadh gave assurances to pump air that it would fully cooperate in the probe. it made a commitment to you or anyone connected to any wrongdoing that may be found to come up with out whether they are secure officer official they promised accountability for each of those persons when they determine as a result of their investigation as to just there's accountability. for the country and the country. if you will. although it's. still useful to. you. the saudi side again strongly denied any knowledge of what happened to krishnaji yesterday a nine hour turkish led search operation took place at the consulate in istanbul
5:20 pm
access was finally granted it was fifteen days after the journalist was last seen after the search stickies president said investigators were looking at the possibility there been an attempt to hide evidence by repainting the walls in a case that has attracted intense global media scrutiny president trump is criticizing the condemnation of saudi arabia over the case of missing journalist jamal khashoggi presidents 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 i shook the he want into a building a never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was somebody if shogi is dead said republican senator marco rubio today the u.s. must respond or it risks its own standing in while politicians and media personalities say the saudis deserve condemnation for much more than just the khashoggi case how do you think president trump should respond if it's proven that
5:21 pm
the saudis were behind his disappearance if not murder one of the strong things 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. sunday and i rated minibuses in the key yemeni port of her day killing at least fifteen civilians and injuring twenty more that's according to the united nations who fighters accuse the saudi like coalition of carrying out that attack has recently become the most far that front line in this three year long war in the country the saudi government said it would investigate reports of civilian deaths because the adviser on yemen. thinks the sale of weapons to the warring parties is only making the crisis worse. the numbers are very hard to grapple with
5:22 pm
thirteen million people on the brink of famine is one that should be compared to the entire population of countries where almost eighty million people. are. going to be here 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 the night her going to affected by the. actors who want to have. children recently with open wounds on their legs that they can afford to treat. 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. the u.k.
5:23 pm
france germany and others. over all the u.n. claims the situation in yemen is catastrophic warming up to thirteen million people are facing starvation if the war doesn't then soon figure represents almost half the entire human population the u.n. said we could see the worst famine for one hundred years with the rating 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 the 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 there. are overriding the in trysts. yemeni people so our question to those powers is are jobs in the us in the u.k. more valuable than lives in yemen. finally this hour
5:24 pm

oh and welcome across town where all things considered i'm peter lavelle after repeated denials the saudis are now expected to change their story on the fate of jamal khashoggi see the victim of abduction and torture that went too far donald trump house expressed concern but little more some are saying rio could get away with murder. cross talking a saudi crisis i'm joined by my guest charmaine on the in beirut she is a journalist as well as a middle east geo political expert in turan we have mohammad marandi he's a professor at the university of tran and in washington we have ali ahmed he is the founder and director of the institute of gulf affairs aren't cross-talk rules in effect that means he can jump in anytime he want and i always appreciate mohamed let me go to you first into round with a hypothetical let's say there's
5:30 pm
a hypothetical dissident against the iranian government living abroad and goes to a rainy and consulate and never comes out what kind of news story with that would be what would their reaction be because living in russia i can tell you russia gets accused of things and sanctions are done before we could even finish a program here so what would your reaction to my hypothetical situation be go ahead moment. well it's obvious the we would be probably discussing the un security council meeting that would be taking place to condemn iran or perhaps almost any other country in the world but when it comes to saudi arabia the double standards are extraordinary in fact what i would what i think is even with the biggest question in fact is that.
