terror group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. we are as we do in most active shooter investigations work with the presumption that this was an act of terrorism this allows us to take advantage of investigative techniques that can help us more quickly identify and then eliminate any additional potential threats to the rest of our community where the gunman was shot dead at the scene by officers he was a saudi military trainee and was at the base to study aviation intelligence officials say the shooter had been based there for 2 years and it's still unclear how he got the weapons which are not allowed on site the incident happened at the u.s. naval air station pensacola which is located on the florida coast it had 16000 military and over 7000 civilian personnel the facility hosts many international students who are required to undergo background checks before training or prior to the deadly

shooting a twitter account which allegedly belonged to the saudi air force officer posted anti u.s. messages condemning washington's policies in the middle east the f.b.i. said it is working to confirm those tweets strategic analyst gregory coakley thinks the shooting throws a wrench into efforts to boost the u.s. soundly alliance. it's very hard to get into the minds of individuals and i think we're in an at an age where we see people radicalized online to a large extent so that they can turn it any moment clearly this young officer was personally motivated to undertake this anti american act and very hard to stop people from that kind of allegiance we've even seen it as you know in the past some u.s. officers on the take action terrorism of the american acts of terrorism within their own military unit so this is not surprising it does however actually cause

a problem for the saudi government and the u.s. government because saudi arabia and united states were busily trying to repair the fences between them because there's been a breakdown in their strategic relationship over the past few months particularly as the saudi government and the u.a.e. government each thought that the u.s. was going to abandon them and do a deal with iran and that caused a big upset with a lot of a lot of saudis who felt that the u.s. was betraying them. france has seen yet another day of demonstrations they spilled over from a one day national strike on thursday one of the biggest in the country in years protesters have been angered at the government's plans to overhaul the pension system. i. know. massive demonstrations were held right across the country all day leon must say also clashes between riot police and protesters one of the largest trade union says

1500000 people marched in support of the interior ministry claims the figures were hoffa's officers used tear gas to disperse crowds with the most violent rallies occurring in the french capital challenge to penske watched it unfold. this strike has been planned for many months now and this is against a proposed changes by the french government to the pension system here in france the idea here is that they want to amalgamate number of different systems around 42 different systems into a universal system but people say that i will have a massive impact on their pensions because it will mean that their pensions perhaps could be lower in the future or in fact that they might have to work even longer and that has caused huge fury here in france the crimes go all the way back more than a close to god do nor which is where this process was originally due to start off with what was come for many hours has turned to a huge tensions with clashes between the police and the protest as we saw

a van that was certain i am on fire and they got tear gas really coming quite clearly stressed and you might get a sense of it just down that you can see there more tear gas come into the protesters shariah and move people away incredible as fame is just getting and as you can hear you know we're seeing protests is smashing shops in front of us tear gas is bringing down and those crews are battling about battling to half contain this fire they've also been tensions elsewhere in front nor just tensions in places like i know and other cities the suggestion now is that this one day strong. that was initially planned by transport workers and is now encompassed teachers health work is the firefighters and even the police could now start a rolling strike in the lead up to christmas isn't going on until you as the strike

is attempt to make the french government releasing these pension reforms for the moment here in france people are adamant that they want to have their voices heard this come out to the streets to make sure that's happening. earlier this week nato leaders gathered in the u.k. to celebrate the military alliance the 70th anniversary but it turns out many people in the host country have little knowledge of its relevance. of people what they think are the main 3 achievements of nato. so you know here in terms of achievements know very little i don't know what it's about have no idea any advantage of nato but you know i honestly don't know anything about it so the flag still a day and only my husband recognized what it was poor it's a good question but let me think a little bit. so one is probably yeah to be honest i don't have i don't

have even one leaders used the occasion to claim that nato is the most successful alliance in history though some of the members disagree as to what the main threat to the block off they did agree there to share it running costs more evenly something the u.s. has long been urging some drawing from political satire showing case you missed it gives an alternative take on the summit. $29.00 nations alliance which makes up well over half the world's military spending yet still calls itself defensive has turned 7 c. congratulations nato leaders are lovely. in london some drinks spread some. and trump accused the president of france of money one of being nasty bullied the least popular guests video of trump being laughed at by trudeau micron and even boris johnson has been seen around the world today wouldn't say exactly

plain sailing for this nato meeting but here come all the leaders now coming in with the family photo many of the president of somewhere oh yes i know that one i know that one. called them together last. next to. the leader of turkey that's the least popular to keep this christmas. that happy day to. expose him to listen to this guy's trying to listen to. you know one. of the main festivities started a select group of leaders had the chance to meet at the u.s. ambassador's residence like kids going to. play by the orange one sat on a golden throne i suppose he does pay for nato presence after all something the head of the stoltenberg knows very well but they did this critical new twist of the

spine. to get america to pay the bills you know i've always thought that being the head of nato must be the least powerful powerful job in the world so despite their recent differences france's emanuel did meet trump and. whether to put on a frankly all some display of man spreading. passive aggression this is where we. were. ok because one of them so there you could have something different from the u.s. i don't quite think about this but. the water. is not well. with nato which has become like any increased 70 year old its waistline has expanded since it's prolly become a bit of a financial burden to the family we can't work out who it is like small the russians the chinese or the middle easterns of the anniversary party was mobbed by

protests in the english capital some demonstrators vent their anger against certain attendees while others objected to native pressuring its members to raise defense spending. on tea america's rick sanchez asked his guests about the current purpose of nato and if it really is obsolete as donald trump once put it before changing his mind. you're a diplomat you've had a lot of experience in this field what is it that nato either must do today to stay viable or does do we even need it anymore you know it's a bureaucracy in search of a mission i was right in 2016 when he said it was obsolete and so afraid was the establishment that he meant what he said on the very day he was inaugurated and they tried to ram through the addition of a new country montenegro thankfully they got it through because it turned out they didn't have to worry about intentions once he filled his administration with a bunch of bushies and retreads of the heritage foundation they've simply adopted

a policy that we've had the last few decades and somehow turned into nato as obsolete into let's make nato great again we'll just strong on these countries to pay more for their defense against nobody in particular you think you know has in fact outlived its usefulness i thought so in 1909 and i think so today it's been known as a loser from a standpoint of being a naturalized american and having read the. father's warning you can't seem to angling alliances i mean what is this but in entangling alliances it's our own foreign policy that did reason nato is being kept around by the foreign policy hawks in washington is not because it's necessary for the actual military operations and nato itself doesn't really contribute a whole hell of a lot there are very few countries with the notable exception i want to say france and turkey but it would put it in as it's not a good idea for the united states and it's very close allies to have an association a military but i would close our eyes that's what i was trying to say france and turkey could theoretically mount independent military operations everybody else is

just a hanger on and they're just window dressing for the u.s. military operations but the are literally like roman exactly erisa sort of what i'm hearing go bad what word the word of the launch window or what that is what it seems to be a dismissive alliance in 1991 when the soviet union and the warsaw pact would out of business nato should have as well as why didn't they let russia in that mean that literally that time i've read on many occasions booed himself i said why don't you get is that. if you are you're going to tell you who it was but one of the european european nato hacks said if we did that the nato would be like the un just a talk shop it could take action by which they meant military action of the sort of way let's listen to what you just said if you're saying it doesn't work if we don't have enemies exactly what if we had agreed to and had the ability to inflict military force and i dare to say aggression in places like serbia libya whatever we want to using nato as a platform but enemies could change by the way russia could be s.o.b.'s at one time like of the 1950 s. but not so much now. but better why don't you have a system that allows that ability i guess because because whose interest is that

serving at all these all these are the these military companies and these bureaucrats who have the nice small rice balls at the expense of their taxpayers because there is a threat out there is a bear in the woods. it's been a rocky start for some u.s. presidential election campaigns with several of us already stumbling at the 1st hurdle and dropping out but it seems the baby yoda character from a star will spin off to be quite a successful candidate if it through its name into the 2020 presidential race according to a recent poll baby yoda is out trending all democratic hopefuls on social media including front runners joe biden and bernie sanders but that's not going to stop the pest striving to be called the perfect candidate emerge get steve has the story . in this imperfect world of ours the hooli grail is finding something perfect it is of course impossible but goodness do they really

try every 4 years in america elections the eternal search for the perfect candidate a smallish chink in there who we are than that our armor is enough to sink him or her and i really mean the smallest chink for example pete booted judge currently ranked 4th in the democrat candidate polls he's a darling a mayor a family guy openly gay and he even has a disabled dog i mean what an angel but then i see he went too far he helped the homeless participated in salvation army charity events and that's a christian organization which is sometimes accused of homophobia you know hard core christians and all apparently race issues aren't the only thing. is slow to

grasp what is his excuse for not realizing the salvation army is homophobic hard to imagine a more succinct visual metaphor for i will gleefully work for the active destruction of my people if it makes me seem in a yacht or more electable than boots adige shorter within a seriously antique with salvation army these activists are literally accusing an openly gay man of supporting homophobia just just let it sink in as a dropped out of the race yet unlike camelot harris and one of her crimes as a half black half tamil indian woman was that she just wasn't black enough skin pigmentation seems to really really matter for a presidential candidate then you. have bernie sanders spent his life trying to power the poor and for his troubles had the d.n.c. election rigged against him last time around but bernie just doesn't get it

america doesn't want someone who cares so much for the poor sanders just does not understand that a $15.00 minimum wage will hurt the job market and there's no way we can afford to make education free for everyone and on top of bernie's you know principles and decency he's just ancient. get on how much like former vice president and controller see magnet joe biden ease neck deep in just the weirdest stuff even getting really close and taking the nice sniff of people's hair now embroiled in ukraine gate he got his little boy a nice cushy job that pays a standing amounts in ukraine the poorest nation in europe and modern civil war to boot i'm sure he can remember all that stuff them ages getting the better of him to

his memory isn't what it was then we have elizabeth warren who hasn't quite yet figured out who she is in case you missed it she tried to pass a self off as part native american which was an exaggeration by which i mean it was entirely made up bashing. no one it seems is good enough homosexual whole move a black woman who isn't black enough an old man that's obsessed with helping the people that need help biden and his has to fit and seriously what the hell then again perhaps people wouldn't need pick so much if you know they had something else to talk about if these people had a plan beyond beating trump clearly a plan for america and americans but hey maybe not i mean seriously.

living stuff still up ahead in the program the dangers of finding love online and investigation shows sexual predators are able to join major free dating services on hand it will have more on that after this short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in his own scary dramatic development the only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

nato the defensive alliance that has shaken several countries it's the union of the supposedly like minded the culture agree on what the main threats of it's the appear to me of military might but said to be both in great shape and brain dead at the same time as the organization celebrates its 70th anniversary is it finally signed for it just think about good times. welcome back popular free dating app such as tend not to protect its new users from sex offenders on my platforms that's according to an investigation by american nonprofit organization pro publica the probe took a look at more than 150 incidents of sexual assault over the past decade and it

found that the majority of victims were women who met their attackers through match group apps in 10 percent of cases they were paired with men who had already been accused of or convicted of sex crimes or match group which owns over 40 of the most popular apps says they do conduct background checks on their members but only for paid accounts further the company says it disputes the investigations findings. the implication that we know about such offenders on our site and don't fight to keep them off is as outrageous as it is falls as technology evolves we will continue to aggressively deploy new tools to eradicate bad actors including users of our free products where we are not able to obtain sufficient and reliable information to make meaningful bank ground checks possible chadwick more journalist at spectator magazine and reese everson a women's rights advocate gave us their thoughts on dating platforms and their

screening policies. the magic group is a $1000000000.00 company there's no reason why they couldn't allocate just a small portion of their revenue to screen the people on their ab just so that there's just a smaller since of increased safety it's a precaution it's a measure but it's deserved if they appear if they're suddenly saying that we want in order to join the service we want to perform background checks on everyone who joins 1st of all that would kill the business and they know it there's a moral responsibility on these companies that are making billions of dollars 1700000000 dollars from women looking for love to say oh you know what it's too expensive for us to do a little bit to protect you nobody's going to want to join these apps with these kind of if they're doing that they're being this invasive a background checks with that said people maybe shouldn't be on them especially women and not only are these dangerous for women but it's destroying women so just

give up the dating apps if you don't perform your own background checks in your own time with your own money get off we're not going to restrict women from using the internet because there are predators we do desire for these companies to at least take the step into the right direction why do you want to put that kind of power on these monolithic tech companies and up saying you know ban women from dating apps i'm simply saying you shouldn't rely on this and you can't trust these companies to tell you who's good and who's bad you need to take that into your own hands so if you meet someone do a background check before you did for you go out on a date if they work in tandem with the courts to get the names at least of the 1st and last names in the location of where these people are and perhaps create some type of monitor of their internet that's a step in the right direction it's going to be a mess i think no matter what and there's always going to be people who perhaps squeak through or don't get picked up who then commit assaults and crimes get

a gun ladies. protect yourselves and we don't win and by the way these incidences are obviously extremely rare and you know by and large the vast majority of men are not sexual predators one woman is enough we need the companies to take a moral stance or at least have some sort of responsibility to protect the women that utilize their app and then what happens you know it's it's never going to be a perfect system. some world news in brief now a massive fire has torn through a paper front tree in the center of the indian capital of new delhi leaving 43 people dead that's according to officials the fire has now been put out but the rescue operation is still underway emergency services say 50 people have been rescued dozens of workers were sleeping inside the building when the fire broke out the factory is located near large markets which made the work of firefighters more difficult to short circuit might have started the blaze. hundreds of thousands

hit the streets of hong kong on sunday for another anti government protests though this time it was all through right by police some demonstrators brought along u.s. flags and the police confiscated weaponry the protests began 6 months now scrapped extradition bill and continued with new calls for greater independence from beijing . elsewhere israel has carried out as strikes on the gaza strip in response to rocket fire i was earlier according to local media reports 2 people were injured in the air raid these really military says it targeted thomas positions. the weekly will be back here at the top of the hour with another round of the stories that shape the week see that. what holds it's just useless to. put themselves on the line. to get except. the

reject. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go to the press this is what before 3 in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the was in the. question. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark so. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they

can suppress certain types of results deiced on what they think you should be seen if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist for the more we give them the sooner we are all. for there are a lot of lawmakers in the state of missouri that we know huge financial contributions from agricultural industry groups those are the groups that opposed proposition b. and there is no doubt in our minds that those same groups pressured lawmakers to overturn proposition and before the session even started there were bills that were pretty filed that you feel bad because it was repealed but you know all of your work. has made a difference for this i mean just the fact that almost half the business who could

have been. approved. you still have. still have. some folks believe they can do whatever they want there are so many issues out here so many porton issues and everybody is struggling in their own way that we don't necessarily want to pick up. eventually i have to go back. and face this neighbor and face the other neighbors and i will meet them at church at the grocery store at the restaurant at the sale barn and i'm responsible. and i think this is where the buck ends we individually have to take responsibility as producers and as consumers but i mean i think for the public very clearly you know you have

a choice in the product that you at the store. backyard here. we're going to try to fix it i felt more like a hypocrite where you can't defend the rights of all dogs if you're going to ignore the problem down the street. have 1st there was i wanted to educate people who had no idea like i did and so i knew that if somehow i was educated by one story that other people would be. the protests started black friday of 2011 and the reason we do about it is because that's when people start buying christmas copies start placing orders for christmas copies and we wanted that to stop so when they 1st started we were there to close every single saturday that was

a very very long and cold winter. we always protest peacefully we always hold our signs are we always have our back up i keep a folder with all the information i have handouts for people that are very exact shawl and we don't tell anyone against that's the biggest thing. but few friends and i started going around to the mills in iowa experiencing it firsthand so our local store is diabetics that shop and we went in there and we saw the puppies and asked them and our 1st they were like from a breeder and they were very open about it and so we asked if we could contact them and so they gave us their card and we made an appointment and we went and we visited the mill and there was it was almost all.
