2:05 am
a 19 year old that later came to light he was a former student of the school where the attack occurred the perpetrator used the pump action shotgun for which he had a license after c.c.t.v. footage emerged online it turns out that the suspect was brazenly carrying that gun all the way to the school and we can take a look here of the route he reportedly used from his house to the school it was a journey that would have lasted just over 10 minutes bar questions remain as to why no passers by called police to alert them that there was someone walking around carrying a gun it's one of a number of issues the incidents raised including what i have led the suspect to carry out such an attack those who knew him said it went completely against his character. we met this boy before he's our neighbor and i remember his face i noticed that he had a very intelligent appearance he was a very tidy i've never seen him heading out with any dubious people he was a good boy and was always so quiet he also helped me in the past with the tata

2:09 am
was an. investigation. under way about how this was allowed to happen why new red flags were raised obviously it isn't going to console everyone immediately the balance is going to be a long time in coming weeks perhaps months how this person was able to pass all the background checks will the medical evaluations psychiatric tests about how he was able to obtain a valid far as license laws in russia are much stricter than in the united states for example also how he was able to walk for 12 minutes from his apartment all the way to the school in fatigues in a trench coat carrying a shotgun why he wasn't reported by he wasn't apprehended red flags again. when the 19 year old boy $300.00 rounds of ammunition when he looked up presumably ways to make. the reports of him carrying 2 improvised explosive devices obviously many
2:10 am
many questions that people. especially with the memories of the kept shooting 3 years ago in crimea still fresh people thought that you know lessons had been learned security had schools but. there were huge flaws in the security at the school apparently as well as the approach of local authorities to. school security . i think has been a moronic as they have reporting with the very latest there from thank you. the russians human rights commissioner has now proposed raising the age for owning a firearms license from 18 to 21 in light of the tragedy and we debated the broader issues surrounding gun control mental health and the targeting of schools. what was it that motivated the individual copycat attack possibly but only if the individual was following what was going on and reading lots about it and everything else most
2:11 am
copycat attacks tend to happen within the days weeks and months after a major incident so it's the police all of the movie trying to do the got the individual secure it work you know what his motivation was behind carrying out the attack and then trying to identify if there's any way that they could have put mechanisms in place or could still put mechanisms in place to transfer those motivations happening elsewhere in the social problem is child and adolescent mental health and that in i think all countries to be sure that it is lacking in considerable degree significant control of firearms within a population. makes them or less available to a very significant degree if you have fewer firearm circulating that is less likely that they're going to fall into the hands of somebody. who is one of the very very
2:12 am
very few people that might consider doing something like this more guns you have in a society that more like you know you are to have these kind of incidents and of course we've got an awful lot of people with mental illness of one form or another or they have extreme views and if you give these people guns you've got to expect at some stage these are going to go wrong so you know the less guns in society the safer we all are it is no secret that you go on the internet now what to do and how to do it and this is a this is a problem for all societies and that's why i say before the less guns it out the less likelihood that the sort of incident took place because of course we have an awful lot of people a with mental illness but also a lot of radicals and issues as well who might want to go out and what they see as a blaze of glory. ok to stay with us we'll bring you more on this tragic story.
2:13 am

had a long and contentious history with the word socialism for conservatives most often it is a dirty word even unpatriotic for many liberals it's about social justice and compassion however for better or worse it remains a red line within the elect. amid mounting criticism that it's not being tough enough when it comes to issues of security the french government's announced a new plan the prime minister is hoping the move will get the police unions off his back. violence against the security forces will now become specific offenses more severely punished and refusal to comply which is often responsible for killings or serious injuries will be punished more severely the move came following pressure from angry police unions who have been demanding action in the last month security
2:23 am
services have lost 2 of their own here in france one in a terrorist attack and another shot dead as he tried to stop a drug deal but this latest offering still isn't enough. the prime minister says we are going to protect the police and take action taken from violence great behind this is a huge problem an economic problem and a political problem concerning the security of the public in some areas and your thoughts of the state the government is trying to convince is that everything is fine the police are happy but we're not convinced in reality we are trying to prevent revolt. french lawmakers have recently pushed through a global security bill which the government claims would protect police officers from online violence it's a pretty good criticism that elements would tail human rights while it's been welcomed by the police unions not all are convinced it goes far enough.
2:24 am
in the last 4 years we have seen so many tragedies in bordeaux a woman was burned to death by a husband who had attacked some police officers with stones thrown at them bus drivers that were killed in all of this is daily life in france and the government has failed to ensure the security of the public the state is governed by mr cast a mr marquand and they have quite simply failed what can mr macron a mystical sticks do not so much just 6 months before the presidential campaign gets underway in fact it's already too late. contempt for the current administration's policies have also see through into the forces this week serving french soldiers once again hit out at the state of play in that country thousands signed a letter supporting a warning that came last month from mostly retired officers that france has been brought to the brink of a civil war even compared president michael and his government to wartime nazi
2:25 am
collaborators the cry of alarm from our elders for 1st to more distant coasts our elders are the resistance fighters of 940 people like you very often treated as factious and who continued to fight while the legal list transfixed with fear were already betting on concessions will be able to limit the damage the government is moving over this latest interjection well democracy sort of democracy it is the people who decide does it show courage to be anonymous when you want to be courageous you give your name the situation is. so serious that some polls are suggesting 60 percent of security services or use their vote next year to support the national rallies marine that penned in any runoff with a manual macron and it seems that these issues over security are backed by the french public and the poll showed 73 percent of respondents to that agree that
2:26 am
france was disintegrating security is a top issue is france heads towards a presidential election the idea that macros government has seemingly lost the faith of those whose job it is to protect the country is a very worrying development so that even ski r.t. paris. austria has strongly rejected a plea for other e.u. countries to take in migrants from italy follows a surge of arrivals to the island of lampedusa more than 2000 mostly african migrants have reached the island off italy southern coast overwhelming the reception center their local mary explained how they're trying to deal with the situation. too much especially because there are quarantine ships and they cannot dock imports because the wind bad weather and rough sea there are many difficulties already and if the ships cannot seek migrants in quarantine
2:27 am
it becomes even more difficult because islands cannot accommodate more than 250 people and there are already over a 1000 however we are working to ease the pressure as arrived in this transferring mogas from the port to take them to a core unseen ship. lampedusa is one of the main landing points for people trying to get into europe from africa the latest arrivals are supposed to be transferred to elsewhere in italy but there's a lack of unity among e.u. members on who will then take the refugees on from their one produces mare again says there is no help present from brussels. and you seem to zoom in immigration to brussels is perceived differently to how we experience it in italy until now brussels has only been interested in refugees not so they can omit migrants whenever we talked of the celebs they don't want to hear about economic migrants what at least 90 percent of the people arriving on the shores of just economic migrants so how is it possible to solve the problem if we do not look at immigration globally the problem of immigration has never been properly addressed neither by the italian government nor by the european government so no there is
2:28 am
this sort of ruthless campaign against immigration there's no program no project no idea how to solve it everyone is wrong with you telling governments and the e.u. as a whole. and not bring you right up to date thanks for your company don't forget we have a lot more news coverage that's all on our website check the stories that often. we've been saying now for years and all this money printing would cause a reflection but we didn't really see it at the level of the c.p.i. consumer price index and well because the c.p.i. doesn't reflect the actual prices of stuff that people you stay typically quote prices are stuff that people don't use and they don't include housing or health care or education for example. and that worked for a while but now it's really hard to hide the fact that the money printing is causing a lot of inflation as you would expect so now the big question is do we take the
2:29 am
word of a central bank who is saying that it's transitory and that this is a sugar high and that things are not going to last in this way or do we think that this might be a structural beginning of an inflationary period costly a period of stagflation because the economy can be stagnant. new york is really what america is about. when our mayor took on face she was elected because of his campaign on our city being a tale of 2 cities that has not and those who have not are usually the ones who are end up being very hard on the city has always wanted to forget about iowa city has wanted to forget about the people who are buried there wanted to forget about the
2:30 am
fact that there is a potter's field but there is a place where difficult stories are get the fact that we're using inmates to maintain this act as burial site where 1000000 souls are buried where so much of new york city history is fareed is to commence the inequality that exists in this city for centuries. dead they are thriving on gaza have been launched by israel find hamas as rocket fire on jerusalem so will the united states be able to stay out of the conflict we're going to discuss and the covert vaccine has been approved for ages 12 to 15 does this mean mandatory vaccination for middle schoolers are in the future this as senator rand paul has taken dr fell to task about the origins of cove it been
