thank. you. we got reaction from several specialists who do say that the attack clearly echoes the columbine massacre and that in today's internet age it is too easy to learn how to make basic but deadly weapons. a shocking event but clearly there is something of a pattern developing and it is very difficult to know what we can respond to that and
7:11 am
we don't want to cause us to become fortresses the places of learning we were children and young people are exploring their lives developing their lives they shouldn't be fortresses are just you know jails in that sense but also i think we need to look at the culture i mean it's very early to draw any conclusions but the powers of. all of this as a young man carry a terrible cry it seems but also ended his own life you know he didn't deserve that and really he needed our help before we got to this stage and i think we need to be looking at that as a society all of us is no longer just the murder of an american problem for a long time i think we could kind of pertains we and europe were to have this problem who it is not just a russian a european problem and i think we all have to take it on board the fact is that in the days of the internet particularly it's relatively easy to discover the means
7:12 am
and ending date acquire the means to make rudimentary weapons such as these basic explosive devices we've seen in other incidents terror lated instance for example where you can kill large numbers of people without any access whatsoever to these kinds of traditionally criminal or terrorist associated weapons for example we've seen vehicles used knives used as weapons and these have been very very effective in terror attacks and it's no reason of course why they wouldn't be equally effective in the hands of a disaffected executed for example and so it's possible certainly to using the internet freely available information to make basic explosive devices and of course we will be keeping across any further developments following the attack in crimea. was. are. now in other news venezuela is dumping the dollar when it comes to official

7:16 am
dismemberment in the society consciousness in the stamboul and this puts washington in a tricky situation to between two allies with turkey accusing riyadh off the record of killing the dissident saudi journalists two weeks ago. 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.
7:17 am
national policy that are for our in americans best interests. to increase. this if you will. over. to. you now 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 and now we have a very good allies in the middle east but if you look at saudi arabia they're an
7:18 am
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 over 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 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. 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 in the decisions
7:19 am
they make about accountability connected to this so the world just needs to sit back and have faith in the kingdom of saudi arabia iran denies any involvement into mousehole g.'s disappearance former u.s. diplomat jim trask's believes washington will do anything to keep the saudis on side against iran. let's remember that the trumpet ministration for a number of reasons but i think primarily influence from israel and saudi arabia has a vendetta against iran that iran is responsible for everything wrong in the world or iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism iraq is is is a regional threat of course this is all nonsense but this is what the israelis and the saudis want and that is the primary policy that it unites washington with riyadh and i think they find it want to find some way to preserve that so i think this is a way of emphasizing it in american context of that we somehow need the saudis in
7:20 am
order to confront this very very evil threat coming from iran. now the american rapper kanye west and his wife came under fire at the moment for meeting with the president of uganda we'll have a look at why just after the break. you know world of big. lot and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.
7:21 am

7:22 am
of social benefits including school lunch subsidies for their children and also transportation. that's the stand here in the same room that we have to say in the corner. if there are people who have money houses or land in their home countries why should we give them services for free while the italians before everything enough the gravy train is finished this is not racism it's justice and good sense. lets you notice what i don't have my son what should i say we as foreigners have to produce these documents.

large majority of migrants actually arik migrants so they do not follow. right for refugee status and in that case you know most of these children as a result of that come from families who had taken a risk and worked with their families at risk and their children at risk just to take advantage of the system that is really there. has been put in place by italian families over generations so it's not about excluding them but asking them to to follow the same laws that applied to try in fact it's nothing else than that so if anything it's about equality not discrimination. the american rapper kanye west and his wife kim kardashian under far the moment for meeting with the president of uganda the meeting took place in the african nation on monday and critics have slammed being counted as a moral seventy is regarded as a dictator by many in the west of the ugandan president has been in power for
