allude and told us that the perpetrators of mass shootings often turn out to be mentally unstable. i know the town and its citizens well and i can tell you all of america and really all of the world their hearts and prayers go out to these people as they try to sort through the details my guess is we will see as we usually do in these shootings sadly that this was someone who was disturbed and suicidal in his own right and then decided for whatever reason. many times inexplainable to take it out on his coworkers a gun control we've found again and again does not prevent crime and in fact in gun free zones which my guess is i don't know for sure but my guess is that this is probably another gun free zone which in my opinion is sort of a welcome mat for criminals to walk in and commit their crimes because they know that citizens are armed the shooter is thought to be an employee of the public

utilities department but the authorities haven't made public the suspect's name according to police the attacker used a 45 caliber handgun with multiple extended magazines and to suppress it. i can tell you that it was a warm gun battle between those 4 officers and that suspect one officer did sustain . doing a gun battle fortunately his ball proved just basically saved his life u.s. senator bernie sanders reacted to the news of the virginia beach massacre by saying that the days of the national rifle association lobbying for legislation must and the attack has intensified america's running debate on gun control which goes back to the columbine high school massacre 20 years ago the virginia beach shooting is already the 150th and deadliest in the u.s. in 2019.
3:04 am
his plans for a wall seem to have inspired his soon to be house in the u.k. with the american president visiting the city of portsmouth on t. day local authorities have erected a large security fence to the discreditable event of some locals the event on thursday months the start of the normandy landing string world war 2 political reporters from portsmouth. he wanted to a wall and now he's got it ok so it may not be the wall but it is a wall the naval city of portsmouth is getting ready to welcome the u.s. president who's going to be visiting head in order to ritz hand the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings on the face of g.
3:05 am
and that's why the barricades have gone up and the is ready and all of this green space where the ceremony will take place is cordoned off lest anyone get any dangerous idea is donald trump's attendance all of the deejays ceremony head will see him come through and in a double layer of security fencing allowing him to watch the day's events from inside that in total safety with the queen and to reason may and some invited guests but the u.s. president's security comes at a cost for the people of portsmouth for him their view of the day's events will be totally blocked well for those with an official invite review for me and. side is rather splendid they've even sprees stop all that excess since. there is without an invitation all welcome to this general area outside although they'll be subject to
3:06 am
security checks while coming in but once inside they'll be able to watch the proceedings taking place in their own large t.v. screens out for some it's putting a bit of a dam on d.-day for those who are involved. on the periphery it's going to be awkward isn't it people coming around the outside to see the advent and now it's because the new trucks coming that it's going to be on a screen it's all friends still you can't see anything you want to see them draw it boy because i'll bet there were helicoptered in andhra it just wasn't long before to use a go or no it's a different world but still there has to you know you have to show the museum going yeah yeah i'm not too keen on the when the storm turned on television because of the studio and i put up a wooden paddle fence and. you know i just might sort of mockery of it
3:07 am
it's not so common that anybody can use normally but we're not allowed on them and it seems like everybody was shocked to try to we will top the other end and we could get through so much who was way down in my doings the summit much better latte di i think with the possibility of demonstrators what they've done is basically blocked off any sign of any just demonstrate just so. that she was saying well i don't need that much security. here is it portsmouth city's council leader is also unimpressed it will change the nature of the event a great do for us the center of the events was meant to be the veterans with donald trump coming i think the chances are there to move from being around commemoration and. controversy carries a special significance here portsmouth was the departure point for much of the d.-day landing force in 1944 although they won't be able to see to the
3:08 am
ceremony there will be one special designated area where dissatisfied locals can have very voices heard the now obligatory floating anti trump protest zone will have to be erected everywhere the u.s. president goes on his u.k. state visit and portsmouth is no exception. of head computer game series call of duty takes inspiration from the conflict in syria but it gives a perspective on the war trying to rescue the white house as heroes and showing russian planes deliberately targeting civilians were takes a look. it's back in a big way after years of falling sales and irrelevance call of duty is going back to its roots it'll be more shocking more morally ambiguous than ever before with
3:09 am
russians so we will you wouldn't believe. surprise russian sue 25 jet there it is apparently bombing civilians in the next scene white helmets the rescue wing of syria's jihad is rebels a scene helping injured civilians out of rubble just like in their real life propaganda reels the syrian 1st responders who risk their lives to save others in war torn aleppo in the face of on relenting brutality heroes have emerged they have all chosen to risk their lives to save others. now it's only a trailer but something tells me we won't see the ugly side of the white helmets i
3:10 am
doubt we'll see them disposing of freshly executed corpses for islam is terrorists i doubt we'll see them waving al qaeda flags as they do in real life i doubt we'll see them staging chemical weapons attacks what i don't doubt is that the russians will be portrayed doing things that put put satan himself to shame at least going by what those who have already played the game say we saw game play from the perspective of a young for the girl who would eventually grow up to be the commander of the rebel forces fleeing from the invading russian army ferrari and her family are eventually cornered by a soldier who kills her father we see kevin crawling under bad and scaring iran has to take down and lunkhead it fresh and soldier with little more than a screwdriver. to be fair it's only a game artistic license and all that no relation to real life events people or
3:11 am
politics it's just a video game for young malleable impressionable kids showing imaginary russians invading bombing civilians murdering civilians gassing civilians and being killed in turn by the protagonist and the white helmets virtually copy pasted from c.n.n. into call of duty coincidence totally what we see is what defines a terrorist is in the eye of the beholder this is not a black and white world oh so i says bombing an airport in europe doesn't necessarily mean it's terrorism as like real life dude we all decide what's good and what's bad like in previous call of duty games where the player gets to massacre hundreds of russian civilians in an airport.
3:12 am
and again by total coincidence call of duty and the pentagon have almost identical perceptions of who is good and who is bad what i meant by coincidence is the opposite of coincidence not only a pentagon employees boardin to help design the game but cool of juji writers then go on to advise that the pentagon started thinking about how to change we brought in a lot of outside help military advisors futurologists we got together with the scenario planning from the department of defense who is active in the pentagon which of course means nothing it's only a game for kids i just wonder when will we get a modern warfare in starman where the protagonist is patriotic middle eastern and fighting to rid his country of an occupying american army what do you think those pentagon advisors would have to say to that. it's bye to joe lombardo koko
3:13 am
ordinator of the united national antiwar coalition he claims the u.s. military is video games as a propaganda tool i think it's just heard of the. propaganda that comes out in various forms to get people used to war and to get people to take sides especially young people propaganda comes in many forms and throughout my lifetime i have seen movies and hollywood change and i think this is preparing people for the kind of world that the u.s. military and the u.s. government want to see so they can continue their dominance military dominance and political dominance over the world the u.s. military should stay away of the gaming industry they should stay out of hollywood they should stay out of the sports industry but they are in all those industries.
3:14 am
and from fiction in the middle east to something very real the plight of children in afghanistan the humanitarian body unicef says that hard of all kids in the country don't have access to education the afghan government's war on terrorists led to the destruction of many schools r.t. visited an afghan province where classes continue against all the odds. that is that our school was destroyed we don't have any chest seed on and shouted to take from the sunshine any ascensions for isaac a shame. was when isis came here they destroyed their school and opened their own sensors and i want the government to reopen this call for us because the weather is very warm we aren't able to learn in such conditions.
3:15 am
there are at least 7 educational centers which have been destroyed during the war between the isis militant group and the afghan government the clashes damaged or even destroyed places of education and somebody gave sanders became isis headquarters i am demanding that the government helps us reopen our educational centers as soon as possible. how else would a failed populace of this school is taken over by isis isis threaten the us and close down our educational centers. if i. let it. alone let the response isis came and shut our educational institutions the teachers were imprisoned and tortured they ordered us to close schools there were too educational buildings destroyed we have asked for the sensors to be repaired but the government hasn't scheduled it yet.
3:16 am
i think i was in a state of georgia has a new abortion all cs beg me to take a stance well look at how after this break. capitalism it just goes to create companies they compete they make products on sale some of them succeed there's a central bank there in case the banks go under as the lender of last resort and that's the way it was designed to stop supply but now we're in a situation where the central banks become the buyer of 1st. china is not a partner of number one for us. and e.u. countries our trade partners number one with us and. i cannot share
3:17 am
the. those who are those who say that it's turn of russia he's. no russia will never turn eastwards. you know russian egoless is looking to move the sides west towards the nice towards. welcome back to the program maybe companies are threatening to boycott the u.s. state of georgia which office attractive tax breaks for the industry of a new normal prohibiting abortion off to 6 weeks however while the likes of disney netflix and want to make a moral stance a time in the us they seem less principled when operating
3:18 am
a broad and explain. as the state of georgia imposes restrictions on abortion a number of multinational corporations have decided to take a stand and no longer do business with the state among them disney netflix and warner media either give it becomes law it will be very difficult to reduce or rather doubt we will we have many women working on productions in georgia whose rights along with millions of others will be severely restricted by this law should it ever come into effect we'd rethink our entire investments in ga if the new law holds we will reconsider the new home to any new productions but how consistent are these corporations for example netflix recently blocked an episode in saudi arabia as a favor to the monarchy crown prince mohammed bin salon aka m.p.'s was hailed as the reformer of the arab world needed but the revelations about to show his killing have shattered that image. we strongly supports it's a sick freedom worldwide and only remove the sub the so to insult you are
3:19 am
a day after we had received a valid legal request but saudi arabia is not exactly a haven for women's rights and progressive thinking on its face is pretty ironic because those countries have pretty egregious human rights issues is more about a political game those plea as being play rather than any kind of actual feelings towards the issue and then there's warner media they have a very long standing relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia in fact prince al will lead them to la was a 5 percent shareholder in time warner at one point and what does that they've been known to put on performances of their best known acts in box graeme the last one just over a year ago. course they never really considered the laws of these us aligned autocratic kingdoms for
3:20 am
example there's one law that legalizes rape just so long as marriage follows the crime are you talking about greater issues abortion and guns rights things like they stay away from me but again it goes back to the whole p.r. part of it you would it be culturally to heights in your brand recognition out there in the world and also to position yourself better in a particular place where you doing business pay when do this day gain the middle east you know a lot of money comes from saudi cutter u.a.e. and not going to go over there and say these particular things because they know a net part of the world this would not be tolerated is what we're talking about the bigger company disney is so if you still have debate boss bob iger and some of the high level executives who want to preserve their own image for any kind of potential political run in the future and also for the overall image of their great company disney yes these. mainstream media and entertainment conglomerates love to
3:21 am
virtue signal and act like they're sticking it to george and to the republicans however just like their wheeling and dealing with middle eastern petro autocracies it seems like their recent outrage over abortion has more to do with marketing than with principles. art see new york. and us feminist author naomi wolf was left red faced recently when her latest book on the treatment of gay men in victorian era britain was debunked by another writer containing a glaring false it. busy i found like several dozen executions several of the dozen execution correct i don't think you're right about this i don't think any of the executions you've identified here actually happened.
3:22 am
for the record outrages says that the victorians executed men for having sex with each other this is a big claim that goes against every history of the subject i've read and it is wrong no victoria man was ever executed for sodomy. now me move to the liberal write the book facts be damned. anything be more embarrassing. give it up your book is a failure. in the pantheon of nightmares somewhere between falling into an endless speed and back at high school but naked is going nation radio in learning that the book you wrote and will be published in 2 weeks is premised on a misunderstanding. if somebody is pushing something that sounds outrageous or too crazy to be true it
3:23 am
probably isn't true for the left will push a false narrative and make no apologies when that narrative is proof falls they're making no apologies they don't care about facts and i think that's the same thing here with with name naomi wolf and her publisher they just don't care about facts and they're just going to continue to push these negative arguments that divide people. now they back around 30 minutes time with updates to stay with us.
3:24 am
when the lawmakers many a factor consenting student of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round be the one percent. doing the whole middle of the room sick. i mean really really. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in the spot
3:25 am
way shape or form for conversion if you look at any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make them uncomfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said it forwards or a sad statement there i would be home by that the next day there's a culture or on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has. nothing to do with all the crime. this footage is unique because there's only a tribal lens on normally off limits to the public eric's allowed in because he's this is personal don't. people here know him simply is dr eric
3:26 am
he's rich famous some always on the move saving yachts and flying aircraft that it's. no. no no. he's considered one of the best neurosurgeons in brazil. as well that's happening amazon. order so soon. going to busy doing nothing is going to do the population not because it's going to keep people on the phone.
3:27 am
this is a boom bust broadcasting around the world in covering the world of business and finance and the impact upon assault on doing your job and i'm christiane washington here's a look at what's on deck today parents throughout the hanging global markets lauren fix the car college is on hand to sift through what the move spells for the global auto markets and consumers and the u.s. markets aren't the only ones feeling the heat as markets across the pacific are turbulent on the terror turmoil danielle shade of simpler trading joins us to sift through it all you have talk show that is allowed to go and die right ahead. and escalation of the trump trade wars leads are global report today as u.s. president trump threatens to impose tariffs as high as 25 percent on imports from mexico president announced this latest surprise on twitter thursday evening saying the u.s. would impose tariffs of 5 percent on mexican imports starting june 10th and increase them until the illegal immigration problem is remedied
3:28 am
a later white house statement said the terrace would increase to 10 percent on july 1st and buy another 5 percent each month after up to 25 percent until mexico complies with u.s. demands on immigration but neither mr not the one nor the white house cited any specific actions mescal must take trump's latest threat came even as administration is trying to pass a new nafta on the same day that mexican president manuel lopez obrador said he would officially introduce the revised trade treaty to the mexican congress and the day after canada's foreign minister made a similar move the prospects for passing the u.s. and ca have dimmed even further and both and why a c. and s. and p. 500 open down on the news is so they know this came as a total shock to the markets and furthermore this is actually a very bad face to be negotiating a treaty with mexico and then turn around and when it looks like the treaty is about to close to slap them in the face of some test like it looks like this entire
3:29 am
thing was negotiated on bad faith that is a violation of trust and this is a theme that we've talked about before in relation to the china trade talks this is not anything that any textbook on the go she would tell you in terms of an international trade agreement on the day that the agreement is introduced in your 2 partner countries and mexico and canada for ratification then you introduce this irritant at the very least and the relationship now the new nafta seems to be. the prospects for it seem. to non. house speaker nancy pelosi on that same day a very eventful day said that she. would put a hold on a vote on the u.s. embassy until she got some of the commitment she wanted in terms of labor rights in the agreement and that would have actually required possibly renegotiating it even before the u.s. embassy was in real trouble and now it seems like there is really very little chance and furthermore this sets a really bad precedent because in the u.s.
3:30 am
china trade agreements china just looks at this and it's like hey you're also trying to do a treaty with us what's to stop you from turning around after everything's signed into slapping us with more tariffs sure even if an agreement is reached under this administration you have to wonder what agreements are worth exactly so it's a tall violation of trust at this point. and here to help us break down how the tears are going to impact the auto industry we're happy to welcome back lauren fix the car coach lauren welcome back there's a lot to catch up on here but 1st i have to ask you about your trump terror threat against mexico mr trump reference specifically the auto industry this morning saying in order not to pay tariffs if they start rising companies will leave mexico which has taken 30 percent of our on the auto industry and come back home to the usa sounds pretty simple tariff on terrorism mexico will bring auto jobs back to the u.s. what could possibly go wrong lauren. well i mean i'm not going to get into.
