hence the name fix nics which is now law. but that law broadened the background check system to prevent violent criminals who shouldn't be able to purchase firearms from being able to do so. it was actually one of the good things that came out of this terrible tragedy. at a time when division and partisanship were much more common than working together, we actually were able to overcome that partisan divide and division and to pass this common law solution to a real problem which i'm convinced will save lives in the future. this is the kind of thing our constituents expect us to do and what we need to do more of. it's been two years since the shooting in sutherland springs and unfortunately that was not the last mass violence episode experienced by the state of texas. on august 3 of this year, a gunman stormed the el paso wall minority killing 22 people and wounding two dozen others. less than a month later on august 31, a man went on a shooting rampage in midland and odessa killing seven people and wounding 25. i visited eac

nic robertson joins us live from riyadh, saudi arabia. nic? >> reporter: good morning. the white house seems to be in lockstep with the saudis at this moment, you know, strategic patience, strategic caution. the united states and saudi arabia both share a huge and growing, steeply growing concern about what they see as iran's gray maligned influence in the region, and what has happened here in saudi arabia is an opportunity for saudi arabia and the united states to build bigger international support for saudi's position. this is something that's been lacking in recent years. so we heard this morning the saudi ambassador to london saying that while they believe that the attack had the backing of iran and in this context he means essentially who else in this region would have the capacity, the wherewithal to develop these weapons systems, to deploy these weapons systems, to be able to put them into the hands of those in the region. he's saying undoubtedly it was iran-backed, but saudi arabia doesn't want to rush into anything. the last thing he said the region needs right

let's go to cnn's nic robertson. nic? >> reporter: good morning. what the saudis put on display, the cruise missiles and drones that were used in the attack, there were 18 droenes and 7 cruise missiles. these attacks could not have come from yemen, that it was the iranians that made the missile systems. they wouldn't be pushed on where the attack came from. those responsible would have to be held accountable. what seems clear in the picture emerging here, secretary of state mike pompeo here, is not having a press conference, leaving right around now. that alone is showing you that the united states and the saudis are trying to dampen down what might happen next. the saudis won't point the finger of blame, shows they are not looking for a military confrontation at this moment. what they are trying to do is build international support for their position. and i asked the military general in charge of this, if they're achieving that. this is what he told me. >> the attack is not against just the saudis. it's against the global energy. >> does the inter

let's go live to saudi arabia and bring in nic robertson. nic? >> reporter: yeah, good morning.e best shot that the saudi military had of convincing, not just journalists anththrough, you know, what the could see on their tv screens. but they actually had that show-and-tell. they had ambassadors. they had military attaches, from a large number of countries, all taking their own photographs at the end and their own equipment. and i spoke to my military spokesman here from saudi arabia and i said, look, you say all of this is iranian technology. you're putting out this map and explanation, why the missiles came from the north, cct tv footage of the attack, to show they don't have a range to come from yemen. but are you winning, convincing the international community, that iran is behind this. this is something that saudi has tried to do for a long time. this is, if you will, their opportunity to make that clear to the world. he says, he felt they were. but i also detected, they know they got a long way to go, with the u.s. support. that is going to be big. and add into the mix, ju

nic robertson joins us from riyadh, saudi arabia. nic? >> reporter: good morning, christine. local media reporting that the crown prince has said this tear or attack is a test of international resolve. that's what we've heard from a number of saudi officials this morning, the saudi ambassador to the uk saying they don't want to rush into any kind of conflict. the last thing the region needs is a conflict, he says. he also says this attack was almost certainly backed by iran, an effort to build international support for the saudi position, which is very close to the u.s. position, that iran is a maligned actor in the region and both countries want to curtail that. the ambassador in london inviting countries, inviting allies, the united nations, uk, u.s., all partners to join in on the investigation. others signed up saying they're going to be par of the investigation. also we're hearing from the ministry of defense they plan to tell the world later on this afternoon in a press conference what they describe as the final results of their investigation that will present, and i qu

that's not what we did in the fix nics bill. as you may recall, the particular shooter there was disqualified from purchasing firearms but the air force had not uploaded that -- his felony conviction for domestic violence into the background check system. so, when he went in to buy a firearm, it didn't catch him. he was able to lie and then buy. and i'm proud to say that as a result of this bipartisan legislation we've passed, there have been a 400% increase in the federal government's providing additional background check information into the national instant criminal background check. i think it's safe to say as a result of the bipartisan legislation we passed working together that lives will be saved. that's what we ought to benic s and that is what we ought to be about and not show votes or political posturing. we ought to be about solving the problem and let's be clear, and get the facts right first. the democratic leaders have mentioned odessa. well, it is true that the shooter in odessa did have a mental health commitment

we changed and improved the nics program. just like we did before, let's get all the information in. let's work with anyone who's willing to work to actually solve to make sure these don't happen again. i think that's why law enforcement, let them do their job and let them give a hearing. reporter: you were in north carolina with the president. we saw a preview what's probably going to be his playbook in 2020. do think this is a message of trump's race in 2020? what can we gleam? mr. mccarthy: people can write whatever they want after the elections. there are two elections in north carolina tonight for congress. special elections i can read on both sides. i can sit back and i can tell you about all the special elections we lost in 2009 and that we won 63 seats when it came for that election. special elections are just what they are, they're special. when i watch and see what happened, does a hurricane change? one of the few places in florida, north carolina is one of the places they touched down ground. that's one of the thin

hello there, nic. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. while the president said he's showing restranltd on ining res. one part of it that he appears to have chosen on the military front here, of course, knowing that he did yesterday announced increased sanctions on iran, on the state bank there. so on the one hand he's taking those sanctions measures, but this is a military measure, but very clearly being telegraphed as a defensive mention, that this is for missile defense systems, to support saudi arabia. clearly there were holes in its defensive posture because those attacks last weekend got through. and what's significant, they're not seen before on this scale. that said the president and the saudis are really sort of, it appears at the moment, at least, trying to take a measured response, not racht up tensions too far, if you will. president trump has said he's waiting for the saudis to take leadership on the current situation. the crown prince mohammad bin salman said he's looking into it. and it will be brought up at the u.n. genera

nic, let's begin with you and the reporting you are getting this morning. many important details on where this attack was launched and with what. >> yeah, poppy, what we're learning from a source familiar with the investigation is that some of these missiles, these low-level cruise missiles that are sort of a hybrid of cruise missile and drone technology, that unlike the traditional cruise missile that the united states or other governments around the world might have, you know, fly with at quite a speed. but along a variable trajectory. these ones of capable at flying at lower speed, low altitude with the wingspan, the additional drone technology. and this -- all this information is coming because some of these missiles fell short of their targets. this is what we're learning from the source familiar with the investigation. they fell short of their target, landed in the desert to the north of these oil production facilities in saudi arabia and, therefore, because they weren't completely damaged and destroyed, has given investigators, and this is another th

and he spokes about it with cnn's nic robertson. here's more of nic's interview. >> the united states is sending a few hundred troops here, missile batteries. is that really enough to guarantee 100% protection for vulnerable sites? >> the united states and saudi arabia are close allies when it comes to a defense relationship. and i believe the united states sending equipment now. and the details of this are with our minister of defense. but i believe that the situation will be assessed on a continual basis and adjustments made when needed. >> iran seems to detect that saudi arabia is in a weak position. zarif said in effect that saudi arabia was willing to fight iran down to the last u.s. soldier. but he thinks you can't stand up to them -- >> no. it confirms he said many outrageous things and laughable things. saudi arabia and the united states have been allies for 80 years. we have spilled blood your blood and our blood together. they always carry their weight. saudi arabia and the united states are not reckless when it comes to w

let's begin with cnn's nic robertson in riyadh with the breaking news. tell us the breaking news, nic. >> reporter: what we are learning from a source familiar with the investigation is evidence, if you will, that seems to correlate with the official lines that we've heard from secretary of state mike pompeo that iran was responsible. the saudis saying the weapons systems they've discovered so far were iranian manufactured. the additional details that we have here really give insight to how those analysis were made. what we're being told is not all the missiles fired at these sites hit their targets. that some of the missiles fell short of the target in the desert to the north of these sites, the because they fell in the desert not all of these weapons systems exploded, which allowed investigators both u.s. and saudi weapons expert investigators to make a more detailed forensic analysis of the undamaged parts of these systems concludes that they are iranian manufacturer, that they do appear to be cruise missiles, low flying cruise missiles that are enhan

nic robertson, first to you. secretary of state mike pompeo arriving in saudi arabia. what are the expectations out of this meeting and does it put the united states closer to a military response? >> reporter: i don't think it necessarily puts them closer, but it puts them more in lock step with saudi arabia. saudi arabia's signaling at the moment and the voice we heard on it most recently was the ambassador to london this morning saying that saudi does not want to escalate this, does not want to rush into an escalation. the region doesn't want another war at this time. i am sure from saudi officials today that they have the capacity and resolve to strike back forcefully if that is desired. certainly they would look to the united states here. but they are looking to build a bigger and broader coalition. the u.s. and saudi arabia are in lock step on this issue that they both see iran has a malign issue. there may be concern here they've heard from president trump say that in essence the strike was not against us, it was against saudi. we're looking to saudi to make the

nic robertson has arrived at the attack site in saudi arabias us. nic, great to have you with us.hat do we make of the statements by iran? it's tough to see what a path back to diplomacy looks like. >> look, i think iran right now feels in some ways it has the upper hand. trump was bullish in the beginning and is backing away from taking action. saudi arabia is caught in a tough situation because it feels it has so much to lose by escalating the conflict. that's not the path they are going down. the attack on the site here, four cruise missiles slammed into. and you saw the pictures, the images of the plumes of smoke rising in the air. having just landed here, the big clouds of smoke have obviously cleared. we're about to load off of the buses to get a closer look at the site. but saudi arabia is now faced with this situation where, it is turning towards the international community for support. if it doesn't find it, it's faced with a dilemma that it is vulnerable to iraq's pressures. and it must find a way to neutralize those pressures. from a saudi perspective at the moment, thi

nic robertson is standing by live for us in riyadh. what are we learning?tting a feeling why the weapon systems were made in iran and why the united states has been so clear that the root of the attack lies in iran. that's because some of the weapons systems, the cruise missiles, drone-assisted, if you will, fell short of their target. they came in from the north. they haven't fully exploded. there's evidence on the ground that investigators can get their hands on and analyze. u.s. weapons experts are on the ground and recovered. what they are also assessing is there is a high probability, and this is the assessment of saudi arabia and the united states, that the weapons were fired from bases inside iran. close to the border with iraq. and then, down over kuwait and down into saudi arabia, and hit their targets from the north. that's the assessment. the weapon systems, they found in the desert, have not been shown to worse. have not been made public. there's evidence of them beginning to emerge. but they're in fact, launched from iran. what the officials ar

joining us live from riyadh, saudi arabia, diplomatic editor nic robertson. nic, tell us what they're saying here about responsibility and what they're not say. >> reporter: well, what they're saying officially is that iran made the weapons, saudi officially is saying they haven't figured out where those weapons were fired from. but a source with knowledge of the investigation says there's high probability that they've now figured it out that they were fired from iran, that they did fly the short distance across the border into iraq, over kuwaiti airspace, through kuwaiti airspace and into saudi arabia and on to those oil facilities. part of the calculation and part of the assessment of responsibility of take-off location and the weapons systems themselves we understand is being developed through a joint saudi and u.s. military weapons expert investigation. what they have at their disposal is more than we might have surmised over the weekend. we all so the plumes of smoke coming out of the oil facilities. we all so what looked like for all intents and purpose

nic robertson joins us from 10 downing. nic, a tumultuous day. where are we headed here?reporter: john, you've got that right. tumultuous, robust conversations i think is how boris johnson would describe how he was treated at parliament. yes, we seem to be headed towards a general election. i'd love to tell you how the country is going to get there. it is impossible at this moment, the machinations inside parliament only grow more complex by the day and the week. boris johnson came into parliament today and tried to persuade parliamentarians why they shouldn't block his no-deal brexit, which is the legislation that parliament looks like is going to pass this evening that would demand he either get a deal in brussels or he ask parliament for permission to leave without a deal. if he fails on either of those, then he must seek a three-month extension, meaning britain would leave the european union by the end of january next year. but that's not the direction that we seem to be headed in. boris johnson was defending his negotiating, saying that he was making progress and tim

i want to go to nic robertson who is in tehran. nic, you just heard the reporting that they're saying the attack came from iran but they're not producing the intel that would prove that. >> they are not really convincing. the northwestern direction is kind of iraq and after that syria with these oil field. what they've said so far publicly is yemen, which makes it an unlikely launch pad. very careful word i heard kylie using there, and we heard saudi arabia saying these weapons were ir iranian-made. whether these are terror attacks, that's a whole other level to be discussing. publicly iran says they had nothing to do with this. they say it's max deceit. that's his play on the max pressure being put on the united states. pompeo's sort of bid to suggest the government should change its ways, but many here are asking for the evidence to back up and wholly denied from this side. >> what's the reaction been there to the president's "locked and loaded" tweet? >> reporter: it only means one thing, frankly n th, in this pa the world and t
