4:05 am
them with flowers with toys and memory of those who had digested the horrific attack yesterday long before that long long before the 7 pupils as well as 2 teachers and the others are still in hospital several of them in here if you condition i mean if you read the list of injuries you could have the sad what sort of nightmare took place in the school yesterday as a 9 year old for example with multiple gunshot wounds shotgun wounds to the chest who lost 3 liters of blood is fighting for his life while in the us as well as others who have gunshot wounds to their backs to their legs broken hips costume tropical cuts to the face and neck because they had to move carol simpatico as they jumped from windows down 3 stories to get away from the kids to get away from the shooting there's all sorts of videos online showing shouldn't how could don behind desks his teachers stand god next to barricade the door with admissions shouting
4:06 am
into the loudspeaker system for people to get in the cupboard for teachers to clues those nor do them for anyone we have frantic calls the parents you have parents all over the city literally sprinting running along streets to schools because messages that there may be attacks in other schools to safeguard their kids to get them out of class is to make sure that. it was a scene of absolute chaos here and yesterday and things only calmed down towards towards the evening when the suspect was apprehended and authorities calm people down urging them to remain calm that everything is under control obviously that people here many of them have kids many of them had kids yesterday in school so people worried it would consent they were in fear in terror of what what happened and what could happen you know all the all the messages were frightening online on the internet. and all the people here they had to express their support for those
4:07 am
who are still fighting for their lives in hospital and again for those who lost their lives in the tragic attack that took place yesterday it was so moved i have 2 kids myself his sons what can i feel now i feel awful i came here from the other side of town just so i could see this place so i could place into one flowers. going through sort of when i had the news and burst into tears have 2 children one of them is a school boy and when i imagine what the children from the gymnasium went through i feel very bad. for you on the stage this neighborhood is quite calm we did not expect we have very surprised that we had such an attack we can say that we are in shock i was at work what people obviously want now are these odds of all this is about how this was allowed to happen why no red flags were raised when the 19 year old boy with a shotgun how he was given a valid a real license how impossible the psychiatric tests the drug tests the medical
4:08 am
evaluation the background check out this person was able to buy 350 reportedly 350 rounds of ammunition for a shotgun without raising any red flags this is a person who lives in the middle of a city why this person you know is described as intelligent calm quiet without without any sort of red flags what pushed him to carry out this this inhuman act. and what authorities are going to do about it you know 3 years ago i reported from gets another school shooting took the lives of unfortunately many more children and people thought that lessons had been learned security had been established by law schools all over the country and yet there are gaps gaps in security here there are already huge shortcomings in the security at the school as well as perhaps where people suspect shortcomings in the work of law enforcement agents nevertheless these early to jump to conclusions the investigation has only
4:09 am
begun but people here want. reporting that the shooting suspect has been identified as a 19 year old kid later came to light he was a former student of the school where the attack happened the perpetrator used a pump action shotgun for which he had a legal license of the c.c.t.v. footage emerged online it turns out the suspect was brazenly carrying that burning question all the way on the journey to school and we can take a look at the route here that he reportedly took from his house to the school it's a journey by 4 that would have taken just over 10 minutes however questions remain as to why no passers by called the police to alert them that there was somebody walking around with a gun clearly visible it's one of a number of issues the incidents raised including what might have led the suspect to carry out such an attack those who knew him said it went totally against his character. but 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
4:10 am
a very tidy i've never seen him head in out with any dubious people he was a good boy and also always so quiet he also held me in the past with the tartar language i don't know why he became like this i don't know what happened to him they have a very good and well mannered family i only had the good at binions of him the russian human rights commission is now proposed raising the age for owning a firearms license from 18 to 21 the lights of the cars on tragedy 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 copycat attacks tend to happen within the days weeks and months after a major incident so it's the police. trying to do the got the individual secure it work you know what his motivation was behind carrying out the attack and
4:11 am
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 the source of the problem is child and adolescent mental health and that in i think all countries to be fair. 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 firearms circulating that is less likely that they're going to fall into the hands of somebody. who is one of the very very very few people that might consider doing something like this the more guns you have in a society the more like 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
4:12 am
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 and i know what to do and how to do it and this is a this is a problem for all societies the less likely that the sort of incident took place because of course we have an awful lot of people a with mental illness but also you who might want to go out and what they see is a blaze of glory across this story throughout the day will bring more coverage on the to the local hospital to get the latest there is the region reels from the impact of the mass shooting. a confrontation that's towards a full scale war void described the recent conflict between israeli forces and palestinian militants the situation continues to spiral out of control 1000 rockets

initiative moustapha barghouti has been talking about the escalating situation in the latest episode of going underground. there's a root problem which the soul is illegals which will solve all the problems and stop this is coalition would be that is there is a shoot and i'll post used their own defendants tape the problem is that israel is buying us in $63.00 it's just too is fully it is that israel will allow us to have a state of our own and the 2 state solution as the world speaks or we should be allowed to live in one state was still democratic rights to tell you what rights you have to choose either one solution or another but one thing they should know and the world is that we as you people will never accept to be slaves of location and updates live in my opinion the world has to stand up to its own security and stop simple as that is not cannot be just international and israel cannot be

americans have a long and contentious history with the word socialism for conservatives most of them 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. welcome back austria has strongly rejected a plea for other countries to take it migrants metally it follows
4:22 am
a surge of arrivals to the island of lampedusa on 2000 mostly african migrants reach the island off italy southern coast overwhelming the reception center that the local barracks play and other trying to deal with the situation. it's too much especially because there are quarantine ships and they cannot dock imports because of the wind bad weather and rough sea there are many difficulties already and if the ships cannot take migrants in quarantine it becomes even more difficult because our island cannot accommodate more than 250 people and there are already over a 1000 however we are working to ease the pressure both as a ride and as transferring my goods from the port to take them to a car and seen ship landing points for people trying to get into europe from africa the latest arrivals are supposed to be transferred elsewhere in italy or limbers on who will then take the refugees from there live but this is mare again says there's no help from brussels at present. because in to zoom in immigration to brussels
4:23 am
is perceived differently to how we experience it in italy until now brussels has only been interested in refugees not economic migrants whenever we talk to brussels they don't want to hear about economic migrants but at least 90 percent of the people arriving on our shores are 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 this sort of ruthless campaign against immigration there is no progress in government and the e.u. as a whole. 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
4:24 am
from angry police unions who have been demanding action in the last month security services have lost 2 of their own here in france one in a terrorist attack and another shot dead you see trying to stop a drug deal but for some this latest offering still isn't enough. the prime minister says we are going to protect the police and take action so then from violence great behind this there 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 us from online violence it's a pointed criticism that elements would curtail human rights while it's being
4:25 am
welcomed by the police unions not all are convinced it goes far enough. in the last 4 years we have seen so many tragedies in bordeaux a woman was burned to death by a husband we had attacks on police officers with stones thrown at them 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 a mr mark on and they have quite simply failed what can mr mcconnell mr carr 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 the country thousands signed a letter supporting a warning that came last month from. they were tired officers but france has been
