one's amazing pension. the the strange similarities found even new orleans and las vegas attacks that's according to nevada police, with pro suspects having military background and having use the same car rental company details, continuing to emerge in the las vegas. so i'm a truck explosion. it's revealed the month on the dead inside the vehicle served in the us special forces unit, which provides training for ukraine. and the political drama keeps on going in south korea. officials cool off attempts to rest of the country's presence of the an hours long stand up between investigators time to secure the

this is elegy, international news update space friday. always good to have your company here on the news hour. we're going to start the in the us because nevada police have been revealing more details about the suspected, the las vegas side but truck explosion. but he served in the us 10 special forces group. now this unit is known for facilitating military training to washington's allies, and by include ukrainian troops in germany, oxy green. acosta has been discussing his background as well as the new year attack in new orleans with my colleague, nikita hearing once again. and we see that there is a violence incidents in the us and that the perpetrators seems to have links to crate in the past. so for example, the recent past how one of from one of the assassins had legs to ukraine, even travel there. i tried to recruit volunteer american soldiers in this case.

first of all, one thing that people supported right away was that the man in question, matthew, the attacker, he was a scene wearing a t shirts where the ukranian nationalist symbol that said glory to you, crane that was picked up right away. then they saw that on his length in the account, for example, he had recently replied to a military contract opportunity, which offered $550.00 per day for a 30 day. uh, contract there uh with the free launching and travel provided. and he replied, saying that he had someone in mind that he had sent them their way. now a move in on another link is of course his military background, which he just brought up, for example, that he was part of the 10th of special forces, a group who have friends, thousands of ukrainian soldiers in poland elsewhere including germany. which as we know this is where he was facing on active duty before he was allowed to leave and go back home presumably for the holidays. but as we heard from it,

his wife that he, she hadn't seen them. so it's on clear then also people online sort of say, well perhaps that is the legs because as we know were heard from donald trump because this attack happened outside of his hotel. that he said that he plans to end the war in ukraine. so are these 2 things related? again, we know that he was a highly decorated, he was greenberry operation sergeant, and this is a task force that his passport flight in terrorism abroad. so it's baffling, but he would come back home on the home soil and do this far as his military background. it's been confirmed by d o. d, that he was indeed in the united states army. he was also a greenberry operation sergeant and spent most of his time at fort carson, colorado. and in germany, he was it on approved leave from germany, where he was serving with the 10 special forces group. he was also previously in the national guard and the army reserve,

other i've also been reports in the media that he may have actually served in ukraine back in 2016 thoughts. those report is have not been verified yet, then we're expecting to hear more. so we have these 2 incidents both occurring on new year's day. well not mine is a us on the bachelor and another is an active duty. so just one of the similarities can you tell us about in these students both served in the army. they were both actually at the same military base at one point. and also both of them were deployed to, of dallas styles would include of overlap the at the military base, maybe. and they've gotten this done, but we don't know that yet. we just know that as a fact they weren't there at the same time at the base and also in dallas on also what's really interesting, aside from the fact that the attacks happened hours away from each other. the fact that they run. so if the car from the same app, they use the same, i have to rent their respective cars that they when once and unleashed this, this violence and even the police even though there say that there is no definitive

link. but even they are baffled by the similarities. so the question is, is, are we working to rule in or rule out any connections to the new orleans of it? and the answer to that is every tip and lead that comes in every piece of evidence that comes in. we don't discount it, we work it through it. you know, it's a interesting thing during these kinds of investigations that if these turn out to be fully similarities, very strange similarities to have. and so we're not prepared to rule in or rule out anything at this point. yeah. science similarities indeed. and as he just said, they are looking into it so far. we haven't heard anything concrete aside from perhaps it's a coincidence, but they're looking into that and we're waiting to hear what they, what they say up in the midst of all these striking part of that. so that it could just ultima not to be co incidence, but just how frequent all the cases of the active or homeless us when we us military service men or women don't like this, what violence,

some veterans is becoming more and more of an issue in the united states so much so that there was even a study conducted a few years ago in 2019. if i'm not mister can looking at mass shootings in particular and the background of their perpetrators. and what they found is very interesting is that 26 percent of mass shooters over 6 decades have had military service or framing. and that's compared to 7 percent of the general population. also free of the 10 most absolutely is mass shootings in the us. modern history or at the hands of veterans and just to go through some of the most recent types. my shootings by veterans, we have in 2023 when a man detailed aids and people in may in the later salt himself. 2018. a man shot people out of bar and california 2017 and sutherland springs 26 people that 201210 people showed that at a temple in wisconsin again by a veteran. and this study also something interesting they found is that it seems

that when it comes to my shootings and veterans, those veterans who have served in either iraq and the status dogs, which as we know both of the men we're talking about right now, they both for deployed and they've got us on those so they turn to return, of course with the pc is the mental health issues. and also the study found that what's interesting is that, that's today in american veterans today. i'm more likely to suffer from p t as the and mental health issues. and they're also at the highest risk of suicide in the us because they are, they have legs here, simultaneous as well. um towards that they, for, for example, in of got a son in iraq and also we're talking about multiple deployments. so they're, they're fighting more, more times of their sense, active combat zones. and i see, for example, the tesla cyber talk explosion, they attack a behind that he was deployed,

says gattis done 3 times. so does that also have something to do with this? and that's why there are people in the us, the same, something needs to be. and actually donald trump has pointed that out in the past and said, we need to look into this and why veterans are committing filing fives. and also something to bring up is that veterans seems to be joining more and more a domestic extremist organizations. well, as the investigations can see, new us president elect donald trump has taken the opportunity to swipe, but chose by the end of choosing his immigration policies have been partly responsible for these recent incidents. now, there is of course, just weeks to go until biden's presidency and possibly his political career comes to an end. all these basket, taylor examines the legacy that joe biden is leaving behind. in 2024. we had chose us all by doing well and truly style

the you think it was undeniable? be a 2 year old which takes you on his feet, but no, it turns out we'd got it all wrong. the world is filled with haters and we'd been cutting by them and that's exactly what they are. they are cheap fix video, but they are done in bad. and in some of your news organization, i have have been very clear have stress that these right wing the weight when critics of the president has a credibility problem. because of the fact checkers have repeatedly caught them

pushing misinformation, this information. and so we see this and this is something coming from, from your, your part of the world, calling them a sheet fix and misinformation. and boy, oh boy did. the white house takes go heart of go home to halt if it is not only it was jo, apparently spike in body. he was shop in mind too. he is a sharp, is as ever as i have known him to be in my engagement and my experience with him as it relates to you know, something like a cognitive test question that you're asking me about what the speaker a former speaker said. obviously she can speak for herself, his team has said, the medical team said it is not warranted. in this case, i said no, he did not have a medical exam. and i still found that by that last, like the president still stands way back. no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or of, or central neurologist neurological disorder such as stroke, multiple sclerosis parkinson's or ascending lateral exclusive kinds of present

being treated for parkinson's. no. is he being treated for parking since? no, no one had the president's back move, but his right hand woman. no, no, professor joe. though she does literally need some places by the hand. no. camara, harris presume, or a special council report been detailed how by didn't couldn't remember when he was the p. couldn't remember when he became head of state, i couldn't remember where he put classified documents and couldn't remember when his son died and decided that the comprehensive, 300 and a 2 page document gathered over the course of the year events. this was, well, nothing but a cheap fake, the comments that were made by that prosecutor gratuitous and accurate and inappropriate. so the way that the presidents demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts. and clearly, politically motivated,

a good job. i there is going to be fine and let me tell you something. i work a job i have and every day i'm not gonna engage in that hypothetical. because joe biden is very much alive and running for re election age is more than a con, logical fact. i spent a lot of time with our president. not only is he absolutely authoritative in rooms around the globe, but in the oval office. and i'm not lying if it wasn't like that, but i'm telling you a fax. and then of course that was the man himself who talked to the podium in his own defense insisting he had the memory of not a sudden. and then let 20 minutes late saw set this initially, present mexico c. c did not want to open up the gate to allow you mandatory material to get in. i talked to, i can just open the gate, which was breaking news to stacy himself, who hails from egypt,

what pay their apparent missed in both countries, the same difference. the machine is sold was walking. you never admit you never apologized and repeat off to me. donald trump fat, i'm real life gas can always be bad. this is out and printed transcripts. a $150.00 times in a single. yes. as it turns out, the machines at some point glitch on this one. the wheels stopped it to just come off divided as i can see like a really like her dress. particularly there wasn't a vigorous handle where i'm by the time of tunes presidential debates, it was running on empty and they continue to move until we get to the total balance

to the, to the total initiative relative to what we're going to do is for border patrol and more assign them off, present drunk. i really don't know what he said at the end of this is, i don't think he knows what he said. either look, 9 or 10 minutes of stumbling and freezing and the post quickly confirmed. it was a total because all sta jill did have very best to cheer her husband up. you did such a great job. you answered every question. so by that point she was really has only fun. you see politics is a root. so business as quickly as you sold your sake, it says far beyond cogent fact, i think is better than he's ever been. he couldn't, in fact check anything, donald trump said, and not only that, he missed one way up after another. after another. people who are many decades

younger even often use notecards. i would want to get more testing done cognitive testing in more detailed movement disorder testing as well. and so canada harris, a breath of young, fresh. yeah. so i need somebody to climb the stairs by herself and find her way from the stage. she didn't need people and how it's heading, how, what to say. oh, wait. it floods are we really got to watch those, those areas and those mean? and so it takes quite a while for that water to drain. but hold on, let me see, spoke clearly and logically and recognize right? shortcomings. oh no. wait. you think you just fell out of a coconut tree? i love venn diagrams. i really do. i love van diagrams, it just something about those 3 circles and the analysis about where there is the intersection, right? we will work together and continue to work together to address these issues,

to tackle these challenges and to work together as we continue to work operating from the new norms, rules and agreements. that we will convene to work together on talking about the significance of the passage of time frame the significance of the passage of time. so when we think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time, and there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children. we all believe that when we talk about the children of the community, they are children of the community. and maybe if the american electorate had had to say they wouldn't have picked uh, as that democratic candidate. but they didn't have a say because that's how democracy, what state side hire a student on her spot. she was chosen in a virtual roku by a few 1000 delegates,

didn't have any other option because no, all the time to that qualified one party were essentially a party elite pick. a candidate, as happened with kamala, is not a democracy, where the people have to show me when the people voted, you know, different people body as well. just den party elite that just appointed. so the idea of selecting the democrat party is now many because george soros and brock obama, in a couple of leap democrats got the smoke filled room and decided to throw joe biden overboard. that is not how it works. and well, we right now with joy montage as of tackling monitor and fumbling find in safe and the knowledge that they're on the way out. we also have to ask why they actually as a, in, i'll throw in a ben shaw expert as a we not the binding was enough food for us throughout his whole presidency. he body held any tablet at meetings, press questions, we're better to cancel dates without the need is because he wanted to go to bed.

and apparently he already re function normally between 10 am and 4 pm. i know this begs the question, who was actually in charge that you've run this country for so long, you know, and always american presence. what are those power centers in, in the united states? do you think like, who actually makes the decisions? is not america is a complex country. conservative on the one hand, rapidly changing on the other. it's not easy for us to sort it all out. who makes decisions in the elections? is it possible to understand this? when each state has its own legislation, each state regulates itself. someone can be excluded from the elections at the state level. it is a 2 stage electoral system. it is very difficult for us to understand it. certainly there are 2 parties that are dominant. the republicans and the democrats, and we didn't despite the system, there are sensors that make decisions, that prepared decisions. 2024 was the bite and style. yes. but it was also the yeah, that the scales well and truly fell from our eyes. the seats in the oval office was

exposed just being just that a seat. and it's do you have any actual pow wow influence? i'll throw binding stats in it. well, at least from 10 to full and he was revealed is nothing but a stick ahead. the real power, the real influence, the wheels filters nameless shape. this operating in the shadows, but make no mistake or one of the, well, it's had to south korea and not because political uncertainty is continuing this just because efforts to arrest that the notes president, you have been suspended. this is all certain hours long. stand off between arresting offices and you and the security team with the latest details. only story is all t's rebecca, nothing to put to south korea authorities that try to make a higher profile the rest of the time at the common kind of impeach president use. so fuels, following least of political and legal drawn license has been key between harvard,

the leaders, the information that received the officials decided to withdraw all because the party gosh, her sister raised concerns about the safety of personal now involved in the execution. the treatment luis said that we determined that it has become possible impossible to serve the warranty because of the call on the stand off to offer shows from the corruption investigation office for a high ranking officials, which is a leading will do it too often pass to gators including police and also prosecutors has them arrived at the gates of news proper to you earlier to be at around $78.00 local time. however, it's not an easy entrance and as counts also, a hoarders have also gathered near the residents in the early morning with a number x leading 200. and it was also unclear whether the presidential security service, which had previously bought investigator suite,

a search warrant from entering to use office official house, would also help in preventing his detention. and it's also important to highlight how you're sure that's retreat. last month when he announced the marshal law to great the political lock and ferret out anti state forces. this resulted in the liter strip off the presidential towers by a parliamentary but it was to empty shame and keeping the waiting for legal action is taken into custody. you can be held for up to 48 hours for questioning with the existing warrant issued by the court and to lease the charges off the use of warranty. and lead built an insurrection with less than 3 weeks before donald trump retakes. the oval office china has impose trade sanctions on dozens of american companies. the export control measures on 28 us contract

doesn't change subsidies of defense industries, staples such as general dynamics, race on and boeing. the chinese commerce ministry announced the sanctions with badging insisting reactions springs. we need to safe goal of its national security and its interests. but washington into an east perpetual, restrict old buy a new a be made by the asian power house from being used in a range of american industries. that chinese drug makers encompass at least 75 percent of the market. internet routes is or another product that's facing restrictions from the us with the manufactured c. p. link established in china, making up roughly 65 percent of us sites. but that's cost live now to financial consultant, angelo juliano, and getting more on this. a story. thanks very much for your time. hey,

on all the international. i just wanted what we think. first of all of this decision by beijing to come down on these dozens of american companies affiliated, particularly with defense manufacturing, to when we need to look at the root cause of those sanctions. so china, what china is doing right now is just an answer to the increase of, uh, width and sales to taiwan. we've seen a rapid increase of sales of those weapons and it is clearly assigned to the us wants to enhance that patients. in the taiwan straits, we see probably in the coming. yeah. or there might be a resolution in the conflict, the new quade. and is clearly a shift when you look at the, the, the team a chosen by then. we are going from a team of by trucks story. we're going from a,

a t mail from of by then which was very rooster for big to a team selected by truck, which has a much stronger focus on china. so this is, uh we, we could imagine that the gcs in hand stations in the region, and also mainly related to width of stairs to taiwan. because ultimately, it is going to be of about the, the patient that of a similar to what happened in ukraine. they would use a title along the same as they used to clean fight for a shot to the last to clean and fight. i was fight china to last time when these yeah, i'd like to sort of pick couple up point you made about the fact that this is coming . obviously, just a few weeks before donald trump comes into office and we are expecting him to be much more, a sort of readily aggressive against the chinese. this is the 2nd will the sanctions we've seen in the past week, the last lat long december 27th. how important is this time at a timing?

is it trying to just pull steering before donald trump comes into office to i think this is margie. know, this is a symbolic china had to do something. and so i don't see these as a major step to of, of escalation of patients from china to try to do something. ultimately what chinese do is just the, it wants to the, the leaders of the cc want to see what is going, what is going to be trying to support you when he comes to the top of the street. it's so it's a wait and see game, but i do not see major. it's a, it's not the major sanctions here. those are marginal uh, but china had to do something, had to make a point. it's, it's not only you cannot only use words, but in general, when you look at the how trying to answers to the west, china doesn't actually believing sanctions. china on the opposite believes that by engagement trying that can,

it can gain leverage. so you treat more with the country, you engage and somehow you will have more common purpose. uh, so in general, diseases exactly the opposite of what the west is doing. the west is the stick. try these more about the carrots. yeah, essentially, because the reaction from washington coming out just being one of brushing this off, this doesn't really mean not much money. defense contract is who are buying this sort of doing purpose equipment. what do you make of the reaction coming from washington in regards to this? uh, what and just uh, we really do. i do believe at the start of these days know much impact when he comes to the military and us a complex. it's emotional. you have a issue actually items, especially the goals we share with china has them on a monopoly on it. but i think this is monitoring and i think it's a, it's a non event. what is most important is really when trump we take office,

that would be the critical moment. and we need to see we haven't had stations in the whole region. you need to look at what close each, what happened is solved korea. what had been sold, qui, uh, the same cool happening. tie one. this is why we had major movements. we didn't tie, wants to party teach. why no, you have to call me in time. that actually we can get out of that and said, what happened in south korea could have them to us to. so this is why the pushing for reforms when he comes to the marshal, because they're afraid that they could do the same as in south korea. create a full flag in the volt demotion low, and this could be the good, the best, the best way for the, the, the, the d p us control d b p potty pro independence to actually go to was a, some kind of the fact to a dictatorship and uh, they would have for free reign on, on declaring the factory depends. i just wanted say, say not

a huge impact for the defense companies, but certainly there's going to be a significant impact when we look at small businesses and also home owners in america. i mean, when we talk about the internet route as t p link is a bronze known across the world, i think it makes it some 65 percent of the routers in the u. s. i mean, could this have an impact somehow on the american economy? yes up, so you need the they would need to find a tentative and this will lead to fashion what this is when you look at trumps, when he comes to sanctions, diaries and so on, or for the strategy, we actually creating station. so uh, obviously it would create problems, but i think for those low for those items that we find alternatives that you did you only problem is just price. they would have to, to maybe source that from taiwan from the south. korea is going to be more

expensive, but ultimately the, the consumer would be the, the, the difference. it sounds like what you're saying. nice things could get much worse on the donald trump. yeah, absolutely, absolutely. and i think, i think china now knows about donald trump. they know that there's going to be a lot of bluffing, and this is very, extremely dangerous when he comes to pull those diaries and, and also those uh, those sanctions we, we've seen the sanctions. what, what, what happened with the sanction, especially when he came to ukraine, these was actually a next generation in terms of deliveries ation. the movie sections do more of those countries refund come to make sure it need to be on the d. u. c. do us is still key, lots of the copying from china, but guess what or the risking we're trying to is we actually do risking for long time? no. when you look at the g 7,

the g seventies. no more. the main partner of trying that because china is diversified, know china has a new new populace in the global south with the brush of these brush are these i think of is so, so to south america and the world is changing, breaks the biggest combined bricks plus is bigger than g 7. china has in wait for this. those sanctions is being prepared. it is clearly see what, what the, the collective west is. dawn on russia and chinese being preparing. okay, well i'm going to leave it by lots to, to well in the, in also in the fact that donald trump has threatened any country that decides to push the detail arises ation, which we know some brick countries are looking at doing. thank you for joining us. but it's on so juliani who's a financial consultant without c around up what's happening across the well, we'll be back with a fresh update for you at the top of the next hour. i think i think.
