these could be cars yeah this is definitely a car carrying dead bodies you can see retold works on the these cars so. dead bodies right now transported to the city morgue where relatives and friends awaiting to identify then several bodies already were identified salute really dramatic event the dramatic pictures were received from the college and as you just heard the witnesses describing what was going on at the college absolutely shocking and dramatic so the investigators suspect that the gunman was an eighteen year old student of this college he was coming from a family that usually called socially deprived the parents were divorced they were

quite poor how the parents did leave together as far as we know the father of the suspected gunman is. disabled person. and he's mom worked at one of the hospitals at the same time when the first started coming to that hospital ward sad irony dozens of people were injured the latest right now is that at least three of them are in coma ten are in intensive care and doctors right now off fighting for their lives trying to save them as i said to the entire country and broke the hearts of so many people and his you can see right now the reason a memorial site organized here people come here to. to think about those who died and they bring candles and flowers and. toys.

for you to remind exactly what happened at the college earlier on wednesday. it was really very long on one one one one even one on one will either you're not going. to muster yelling though we had said it's quite evident to me or. even take it for us that yes consider if and when it though talking or more of same to see him it was inches of water isn't it was it it means that we were to start a book just a quick look at all what the battle say it's maybe more if so.

or if you didn't have to work to go if you can actually go i would not go up in unity. bush needs above the bar that's not really you were possible in the one you have a palestinian he didn't ask you for the lead and didn't miss you more be very divergent you know of the. lives of you here. are you most it doesn't mean he's not mine you never sleep with. my siblings out let me move to another girl and you're going to go. for them but i mean the road is merely. the suspect 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 have been drawn to another atrocity carried out almost twenty years ago in a coach in russia has 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 shooters and the crimean gunman are all of the same age only eighteen years old 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. use of. those cards over. or. was this is something that we look towards called a couple. united states insert remove the. struggling with this issue

of moment all the all ness of a violent offender with no mess creasing we were serial murder shootings at schools . this is not that uncommon you know real when you're in the you know the you know when there is one kind of going to you're more likely to see. carried out in the same way. we were keeping the right across any further developments in this story about the attack in crimea or any updates to bring them straight to. our. world stands in anxious anticipation as us secretary of state mike pung payor heads home from his trip to saudi arabia in turkey the reason behind the visit the disappearance and alleged killing of a saudi journalist last seen entering the state's consulate in istanbul more than

two weeks ago all asked whether he touched upon any concrete facts over the reported murder of jamal khashoggi while in saudi arabia pompei i wasn't exactly forthcoming. i don't have anything to say about that well we know what they could have discussed they could have gotten to the bottom of whether or not jamal khashoggi was indeed killed tortured and then dismembered as the consul watched as reports seem to indicate however it seems that they focused rather on what seemed to be almost perfect about the u.s. saudi relationship 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 elements of u.s. national policy that are for our in americans best interests. of the

country you don't treat. it as if you. do. you. now my pompei as comments referred to saudi arabia as a purchaser of american goods primarily military hardware and he seemed to talk about saudi arabia as an ally against what he sees as the primary source of evil in the region iran now this is not so much different from what we heard from mike pompei i was boss of the u.s. president so i did arabia has been a very important ally of ours in the middle east and we are stopping the rain and 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 donald trump's comments come as there is a huge amount of pressure mounting on the administration in response to outrage about the shoji incident president trump as. criticizing the condemnation of saudi arabia or in the case of missing journalist jamal khashoggi residence 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 and never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was saudi if because shogi is dead said republican senator marco rubio today the u.s. must respond or it risks its own standing the administration assures us that saudi arabia will get to the bottom of what actually took place eventually we're going to give them the space to complete their investigations of this incident when they issue their report will form our judgment about their next step and the decisions

they make about accountability connected to that so the world just needs to sit back and have faith in the kingdom of saudi arabia i'm just saying that i'll take more news for you after this short break. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. something want to. get it right to be close it's like the four three in the morning and people are. interested always in the last. first sitting.

u.s. war planes accidentally struck a kurdish convoy in eastern syria killing several allied fighters now this is according to russian military and diplomatic sources but so far there has been no official confirmation let's get details now from marty's middle east correspondent for the slip paula just bring us at this point what what do we know.

well at this stage the information we have is that a fifteen fighter jets belonging to. the u.s. led coalition in syria have mistakenly bombed syrian units in the eastern province of dia hours are near the town of hygiene now the syrian units were carrying out an offensive against the last of what remains of islamic state in that part of the country and we are hearing from a military diplomatic source that the mistake was the result of a lack of professionalism and coordination between the united states and the syrian kodesh fighters on the ground but at the same time we are hearing that this did not disrupt the operation that they were however a number of defections among the ranks of the syrian democratic forces and some islamic state fighters did manage to take over some new territories but that the operation continued now for more than six months the u.s.

led coalition and syrian kurds have been involved in offensive against the islamic state stronghold in the area but this has been largely unsuccessful and it comes amid reports that the islamic state fighters have in their ranks some seven hundred hostages and again we hearing from sources that among those hostages are foreigners and the concern is that the islamic state will use those hostages as human shields and indeed they have indicated that this is what they will do they have been issuing threats to the kurds saying that if they do not hand over some of the islamic state supporters and transfer them to new areas they will start killing the hostages that they have with him a ranks day by day so certainly a very alarming situation unfolding on the ground as pulis liril middle east correspondent bringing as the story many thanks. ok let's bring in

a human rights lawyer and peace activist done kovalchuk use my good to have you all . we've just got the kind of the berbers of the story but the accusation that it's coming from russian officials is that the u.s. got this badly wrong it's an accident. syrian kurds. resort without hearing from the u.s. yet does it look to you. well i mean i have every reason to believe that it's true that they did act. these curt's it may very well been an accident but that's the problem. with war there's many unintended consequences is in this is an example of the many disastrous unintended consequences that the u.s. has brought about by intervention in syria. if we get confirmation of this they strike i think will mean for this alliance between the u.s. military and the kurdish forces and from memory says the rise of the first on that

we've had something like this in the kurds coming out on the wrong end of an assault by u.s. forces wonder how far the patients will stretch. what is a good question i mean if you think about it you go back to the first well you can go back you know to the iran iraq war where the u.s. was supporting saddam hussein and chemically attacking his own kurdish population in of course the us set up the kurds after the first gulf war encouraging them to rebel and then the u.s. did not back them up the kurds have always been cannon fodder and pawns for the u.s. gains in the middle east and yet it's a great question when will the kurds finally decide the u.s. is not reliable partner that is hard to say. the russian military source also said that after this strike and this sounds perfectly. leave a bowl he's on the stage managing to gain some ground amid the the confusion in his

or also hearing that they've got human hostages how big of a worry is they set a time when it looked like islamics they were all but done opportunities for them to just make a bit of progress. look it's a big it's a big concern i mean syrian peace in the stability in islam is you know the islamic state is out there it's going to prevent that from happening so i think everyone should be concerned about that but of course the problem is is that the u.s. is the is playing both sides of that conflict i'm supporting. the islamic state and then other times fighting you know and so that is you know one of the problems that syrian people face. we live in strange times journalists disappear. you get people killing people on their own

side in war will there be repercussions is that justice will there be an official investigation or does it all just disappear like i said the fog of war. judging from the past i have to believe that will just disappear and be forgotten and frankly i doubt it will even hear about it much on mainstream media. in the united states. dan appreciate your time this in the thanks for coming on dan kovalchuk my guest human rights lawyer peace activist. thanks you know. and finally to germany where a kindergarten a school to control the sea for promoting itself as a nurse who with quote hardly any migrants the daycare center claims its message is simply been misunderstood but it has attracted criticism for other promotional initiatives too and a society has more. 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 five but 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 that true criticism it adds that the financial situation of parents living in the kindergartens area is excellent. 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 a socially leitz 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'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 over devolved so i think it's. really really important already young. people can go different cultures different ways of giving and song although parents favor a multicultural society when it comes to words on the children these talks bring

attention to the proportion of need to finish mills in the school spend 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 nations and germans together and they spoke to the spanish and german and the king their god so chewed on both richardson came about everyone wants the best for their children but whether the best means having known my current classmates and why the school should be bragging about this issue is another matter altogether and i'll say. wrap things up for this news hour to stay with us my colleague mickey allen oh have the latest at the top of the hour.

i don't have faith in this government official of president i don't have faith in the system i see i've got it i'm just a broken system that is not designed for people like this woman. as long as they. defend the poor here for different reasons but also job loss to home. most people in philadelphia are only about two paychecks away from homelessness. over the last decade russia's foreign policy has been deeply related to the united states that approach at the wall when the american political reality became
