being hospitalized for a gunshot wound that appears to be self-inflicted this is what was said by the local los angeles county sheriff's department the suspect was later identified as one of the victims who was found in the quad. he is identified as a 16 year old me you know whose birthday is today. the weapon that he used was recovered out to see it's a 45 caliber semiautomatic pistol which had no more rounds in it had no more bullets in it. now there have been 30 shooting attacks on school grounds in 2019 in the united states according to the gun safety group every town those are shooting attacks in u.s. schools that have resulted in either injuries or deaths now the sheriff in the case who has been talking to the media says that there seems to be no solution to this

ongoing plague of school shootings and mass shootings in the united states this is the l.a. county sheriff. i hate to have tsongas be added to the names of columbine arkell in sandy hook but it's a reality that affects us all throughout the nation something we're going to deal with and it is captain lewis said we've got to figure out what are we doing wrong and how can we stop this from happening in the future. now parents were united with their children at a church nearby the high school where the students were taken after the school was evacuated and placed on lockdown following the shooting. thank you for those details. speaking to us live from new york. early on thursday russia's far east also saw a college shooting which left one dead and 3 wounded it will bring down a story later in the program today chief.

what about putin has held the alliance between the brics countries is a vital factor for global stability but leaders of brazil russia india china and south africa have held a 2 day summit on the russian leader gave a speech on the final day when the if an ocean has been following the talks for as in brasilia mario would have been the big takeaways from this year's summit. put to you from brazil reason have been 2 very busy days the leader is on brics countries mats here for 11 summit brought big delegations with them to have extensive talks speaking with russian media following the events here in the capital city but reporting has stressed the group's influence and it will continue growing steadily as a global stabilizing force. and speaking out about one of russia's brics partners china lightman who can express his disagreement with

america's demand to include china in new nuclear power after he's drawing from the i.m.f. treaty china issue was among the reasons behind washington's decision here's why didn't put things comment on that. first used to show you russia in the us remain the biggest nuclear powers in the world but if we include china in the negotiations why just china should let's include from some the u.k. then and other countries which are officially acknowledged as nucular states but which aren't keeping their real nuclear states a secret. says greg summit takes place in this part of the globe office today was explicit about the series of violent protests. yes that's true several countries here in south america and as well the chilean now just recently believe it is by the way among biggest challenges for brics countries and

a big dividing force because the country's position in position is on what's going on in believe it or on the resignation on it of when you leave the elected president there are different dramatically with some saying it is simply legitimate democratic process and not just russia calling it cool to tom foreman tonight that wife has said that kaos is the biggest danger in such a situation. but you. can you imagine there's no real leadership in the country everyone has given up power it reminds me of the situation in libya even though there's been no direct foreign military intrusion but the country is on the verge of chaos it's a worrying sign issue. it was a rare chance for russian journalists because they were allowed to ask any question and obviously the conversation went far beyond rick's summit speaking about syria vladimir putin has emphasized success on the ground thanking for that russia turkey

of course official damascus but also stressing the role of america in countering terrorism in syria. she will start to fall but if talking about washington's contribution in fighting terrorists in syria we should admit they have contributed however the so-called international coalition didn't do much until russia moved into syria but in terms of the operation led by donald trump the u.s. has contributed to the joint effort aimed at defeating the terrorists even though every independent observer could see the role of russia and not taking into account our operations and their results. but. journalists also wanted to know when why they're putting can make don't. trump next time russian president said that the american leader is invited to take part in celebrations next year in moscow related to 70 feet on you 1st with

a victory in world war 2 so the meeting potentially happened there back to you. from brasilia thank you for the update. bolivia has been hit by a fresh round of violent protests this time from the supporters of former president evo morales he has resigned after days of rallies demanding his departure his supporters however are now on the streets calling for the new government to bring him back. as was you know we were in the past next to the government residence tear gas was used against protesters demanding the immediate resignation of the government bill so demand the expulsion of congress mensah and lou come on shore from the country you can see the gas cloud behind me this seems to be an endless story judging by what is happening now the army is also next to the police including tanks that

support them. even more or less fled to mexico along with many of his party members he stepped down on monday off the week the violence triggered by claims that last month's election victory was rigged morales has described the events as a coup violence looting in vandalism followed and some of his supporters now say they're fearing for their lives. a lot i don't like they have carried out a coup d'etat against does as of last night we are living like a dictatorship times they are hunting our leaders they are hunting it's very likely that they will see me and what my head to that is one of the divisions are caused by reese as they persecute us as bolivians those from al tell they discriminate against us because we come from alto in the past they discriminate against those who wear skirts and we want to allow it on tuesday bolivian phonetic janine on us declared herself interim president of bolivia and was sworn in by her allies

artie's donald quarter picks up the story. a new force has seized bolivia's political reigns her name is janine is and she's just declared herself interim president but if you did as president of the senate i immediately take on the state presidency for singing in the constitution and i swear to undertake all the measures necessary to bring peace to the country on us has long been a critic of her socialist predecessor of all more alice who was forced to resign several days ago after the army dropped its support she invoked the constitution to justify getting the top job and has called for new elections but i guess herself wasn't actually elected she was just next in line after the president vice president and head of the senate all relinquished their posts even the legislature itself didn't really elect her because morales supporters boycotted that session now the real people who put her in power they're a colorful bunch. meet mr camacho he was part of

a gang that wasted little time ransacking morales's former home. but these trespassers weren't just a bunch of thieves they were searching for a more spiritual experience here's camacho and his buddies praying with a bible after breaking into the house one of their supporters praised it as christ's return to the bolivian government the bible is returning to the government palace never again will the pacha mama goodness return today christ is returning to the government powerless to live is for christ but you don't see that 2nd coming but then again come on shows long had a unique take on the lord's work he spent years leading a religious fundamentalist organization called the santa cruz youth union aside from its reputation for p.t. it's also

a purveyor of right wing ideology how far to the right well it doesn't get much farther than this though you. again today. a sizeable number of the oppositions activists may be a bit unhinged but it's the political arm that is far more presentable carlos mesa was president before morales and lost another election to him in october the think tank inter-american dialogue lists him as an expert on its website it's d.c. based and u.s. government funded but may says connections to washington run far deeper than that according to wiki leaks he was corresponding with the u.s. embassy in bolivia for years discussing the details of his political strategy no less in a meeting with the charge on october the 27th messam all but acknowledged that ever would win his constitution in january and that there was little point in taking that quick zadok of trying to defeat it of course that makes the white house pretty

happy the resignation yesterday of bolivian president evo morales is a significant moment for democracy in the western hemisphere these events send a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in venezuela or nicaragua the democracy and the will of the people will always prevail but the situation on the ground is becoming increasingly unstable especially now that the military isn't being 100 percent cooperative right now. as then you have refused to coordinate with the national police or you are saying the military is being overtaken by criminal records which are just entering the capital as a bolivian do your job we do not want more you will be responsible for everything that happens if after my order which i make as president i stand it over the crimes john and it will be your responsibility on his may have gotten to the top sticking to the letter of the law but it's going to take a lot more than that if she wants to patch up latin america's latest political

vacuum human rights lawyer down kovalchuk told us the media can manipulate perceptions of the situation in bolivia with selective coverage. this is a race is killed it is now turning very violent by the police against indigenous population who are if you support or out now been well documented in the western press those gently the western press supports the coup against morales this is a classic you know media manipulation situation the chance you know wrote about me in there and said well you know our courses mean the us is our allies when they take power we play with democratic even if it may be a right wing dictatorship we claim that morale was undemocratic even though he had been a like good a number of times democratically but again those who were your palms require undemocratic in their lives and you support we call our support in freedom and

democracy even if their star. tragedy struck in russia's far east on thursday morning a college shooting left one person dead and 3 others injured a security guard on duty at the time has been arrested on suspicion of negligence and 1000 year old student smuggled a gun into a construction college where he was studying and this is the classroom where the tragedy unfolded investigators are still working at the scene the attacker who was described as calm and quiet forced the teacher out of the room before opening fire on his classmates he then turns the gun on himself here is what witnesses told us shortly after the incident. 5 of us went to the toilet i was the 1st to enter and i felt how he put a gun a look to my stomach i was going to be kept silent for a while or your kind then said get out of here and i said you know this is not good for the u.s. government quotes he somehow managed to work through the security with a gun things like killed. most of the produce i wanted to see what was going on i

couldn't even imagine that something like this could happen in our city. there is this when you we've tried to call our children but no one responded and then we received the names in syria names of those who died and who were shot we've got to be careful in the aftermath of especially in the immediate hours after an event a tragedy like this there's a lot of rumors that spread the changed and a lot of misleading in our private think information but according to what the police have said bits and pieces and reports i wouldn't assess them only in the media at 10 am local time in blagoveshchensk a city in the far east of russia the shooter a student at a construction college arrived late for class the teacher asked him to leave and he did he came back carrying a shotgun he entered the classroom he told the teacher to get out she was forced

out and then he turned the gun on his classmates. but it just got to. it took a little spill it. was . all he continued shooting after that with the kids you know teenagers and all one person was killed another 3 injured one of them in critical condition. the teacher the teacher scaped and she got help lisa will arrive on the scene called in paramedics and doctors the injured were taken to hospitals. or you know as 11 am today 217 year olds arrived at the hospital with gunshot wounds both have been operated on one is in a critical condition the other is stable now police when they arrived at the scene

thankfully apparently very quickly before there were further casualties. they found him on the 2nd floor in a corridor when he saw police he fired at them there was an exchange of gunfire i went to do a classroom and turned the gunman himself committed suicide. the shooter was 19 years old the firearm was licensed the other he had a permit for the. business obtain. as i see investigation underway now to stop the details but according to witnesses and some of his classmates the could have been animosity conflicts between the students apparently he may have been the victim of bullying which in no way excuses what he did but it certainly flushes out the circumstances investigation is under way already the security guard at the college has been arrested on suspicion of criminal negligence apparently the

company that hired him a private security firm there also in hot water because he wasn't licensed to be a security guard at this college. nevertheless the investigation continues well as more information comes in we'll bring it to our viewers what the i must mention though is you know being there in the aftermath of a school shooting i was in last year there were fortunately many more casualties there. but it always leaves a mark you know shooting at the school with society's moved vulnerable. when america's a.b.c. t.v. network quietly shelved a bombshell news report a disgrace to billionaire jeffrey epstein years ago the network probably expected this that was the end of the story however a recent round by one of its scientists all of that caught on camera has brought out a geisha is all the cover up into the spotlight and heads have rolled as

a result daniel hawkins looks now at how a.b.c. and other channels have handled the whole affair. say you're a top media organization facing scrutiny over a controversial leaked video in case you've forgotten it makes for interesting viewing it was unbelievable what we had we had everything. i tried for 3 years to get it on to no avail and now it's all coming out and thinking well of revelations well we had it was unreal there were going back to you know. years ago now you could work to improve your credibility apologize or make amends or just brush it under the carpet and direct your efforts at finding and firing the alleged whistleblower to try to ensure they never work in news again the executives at america's a.b.c. the network have been busy doing just that the person calling themselves the whistleblower claims the company has been searching stuff e-mails and logs to find

the culprit really employees and encouraging them to turn in the snitch instead of addressing this i don't like the company has in the past it has spun into a mission of seek and destroy innocent people that have absolutely nothing to do with this are being hunted down as if we were all support the audacity of that guy or girl 1st leaking the video then criticizing the company's methods but he or she is right about one thing there has been a hunt actually bianco a new hired producer at c.b.s. was fired after just 4 days when her former employees at a.b.c. the term in that she believed the footage let her new bosses know did you leak the tape i did not impact depleted didn't know what he had done wrong it wasn't even given the professional courtesy to defend myself i mean why take any risks right and the epstein scandal and cover up probably wasn't a good enough story to start with at the time not all of our reporting met our

standards to air but we have never stopped investigating this story now we've asked both c.b.s. and. b.c. for further comment the latter have already said they never stopped looking into the obscene story and will release a 2 hour documentary plus a podcast sometime next year of the high standards of mainstream media are admirable so high in fact that even those who cover well media didn't find anything interesting untoward or newsworthy in the a.b.c. will supply of story n.p.r.'s on the media funded partially with taxpayer dollars hasn't mentioned the story neither have many others in the days following the scandal there seem to be almost no mention of the story on m s n b c c.b.s. america's a.b.c. or n.b.c. news it's like it never happened or the facts were simply reported from a.b.c.'s version of events like the new york times did but meeting standards seems to be a bit of

a pattern take road and pharo one of the journalists who broke the harvey weinstein story and works at a n b c but the network was very reluctant to air it and why after 7 months without one victim a witness on the record he simply didn't have a story that met our standard for broadcast nor that of any major news organization thank god for media standards making sure only the most newsworthy stories make it on air this wasn't really a political story necessarily it was simply a story about corruption and power and some very disgusting crimes that were being committed the problem is that it looks like there's no other competing network that we just we see them all basically invent to gether and protecting the same people the mainstream media as a sort of incestuous old boy system where one kind of looks out for each other a cover story one another this seems to go well beyond that into looking more like a cartel you know they are really doubling down they're going out of their way to

make sure there is no one in their ranks who might make them look bad. as relentless protests continue to paralyze hong kong china is calling on the united states to pull back on a bill supporting the protests and says it plans to reassess the special economic treatment that washington affords the territory. if the u.s. side must immediately stop pushing the relevant bills stop supporting violent offenses and stop using hong kong to intervene china's domestic affairs the violence in hong kong has intensified in recent days a 70 year old street cleaner died after he was hit by a brick during protests another man seen on that footage was badly beaten after confronting anti-government activists who had blocked off central streets transport in the city remained paralyzed for a 4th day while schools were closed on thursday over safety concerns a curfew is also reportedly being planned for the weekend. and economics professor

and world in decades of conflict israel is now apparently facing the threat of economic demise that is if current demographic demographic trends continue unchanged the think tank that issued a stark warning says it's the country's a growing ultra-orthodox population that's at the heart of the problem here's our middle east correspondent paula. israel's survival depends on its ability to deal with external threats right wrong a new study by news radio think tanks suggest cities radio does have been barking up the wrong tree when it comes to questions of existential crises one of the biggest problems to face this country in the coming years will come from the country's ultra orthodox community certainly changes the character of the zionist jewish state as we know it. will towards the dogs on the whole are not scientists but they don't serve in the army today 9 percent of israelis are ultra-orthodox in
