but scott morrison defended his actions. guiding the scrubbing a sub steel with france was a strategies national interests not his own. i'm not going to cough fledging at a strider. i'm not going to call that on behalf of the strident i can do with whatever people try with me, but astride it has a proud record when it comes to our defense capability. that's why we were building these mobile building. i was this diplomatic stash has redefined the bilateral relationship between these 2 countries. france has scott parsons behavior, and the scrapping of his contract doesn't just affect this alliance, but has far reaching consequences for other countries considering future partnerships with strayer, france says it wants a concrete effort made by struggle efforts to get the relationship back on track. but neither side showing any sign of backing down that could take time here or clock out to 0. queensland, australia, ah, this is our 0. these are the headlines around says it has defended vietnamese flagship from being phased in the sea of oman. it says revolutionary guard troops border.

travis scott concerts. what's the history here? >> pretty violent one. in 2017 in new york, travis scott begged a fan to jump off a second story balcony. that fan was luckily okay but another fan says he was pushed off and ultimately paralyzed at that show and despite that travis scott talked to lyrics he needs to see injuries in the more than pit. there's been other incidents in later years in 2019 and so on, and you know, the warning signs on this one go way, way back unfortunately. >> one of the things he said from the stage, this time he wanted to see the ground shake with the crowd there. i guess it depend on what he meant by that, right? >> yes, i mean, look, things like that, i want to see the ground shake, that's all fine as far as i'm concerned. what happened and previous guests noted the show was stopped three times and it wasn't stopped and then stopped permanently and it was stopped and resumed, and that's a problem because after the very first song, fans were chanting "stop the show, stop the show" and the show didn't stop, it went on for an

scott just announced that he will pay for all of the funerals. he's also promised to provide free counseling for all affected. authorities and concert goers want to know why he kept performing during the chaos. >> so the official call of a mass casualty event happened at least 30 minutes before the show ended. witnesses say travis scott did stop several times but then continued. in this clip on social media, two people there at the concert are seen screaming at the staff to stop the show. watch. >> let's do it. ♪ >> stop the show. stop the show. >> we're also learning that a detailed operations plan for the astroworld music festival did not include a specific contingency for a surging crowd incident. cnn's rosa flores is there in houston. first, tell us what the police chief, if we know, discussed with travis scott before the concert. >> reporter: you know, we do. hpd sends out a tweet expressing that, that the meeting was brief and respectful. here's what he said, he said quote i met with travis scott and his set of security for a few moments

travis scott began his set. and those people that were closest to the stage itself and around were the ones being compressed by the crowd trying to filter in and trying to, it seems like they were trying to get as close to the stage as they could. >> am i correct in saying the security and medical components of this event were handled by the concert promoters, not the city of houston? >> that's correct. the medical services were provided by a private company hired by the promoter to be -- to serve that function at this event. now the nrg stadium is a county facility. it resides within the city of houston, but it's a county facility. and it was sanctioned by -- essentially by the county and that board. and so they have the authority to -- or the responsibility to hire those security and medical components, and in this case, the medical component was provided by a private company. >> so this was not the first astroworld in houston. back in 2019, three people were trampled at a festival. thankfully, they were not k

in addition, travis scott is obviously guilty of inciting crowds. he literally said to rage. so, whether he could literally see what was going on or not, he will be responsible, as will be the promoter. >> what -- so what sorts of -- in your experience, what sorts of planning and preparation issues normally go into an event like this that perhaps did not go into this one? >> well, when you have an event of this type, what you have to do is corral different sections of the audience with barriers. and especially, with a volatile, younger audience. this is done, certainly, in europe with metal concerts. we don't have really an equivalent famous festival here. we have coachella. it's more laid back. lollapalooza in chicago. it's more laid back. but people should have been on guard that this was going to happen and if you look at all the video. this was from the very first moment. the people crowded the gates, rushed the gates. they should have known what was going on. i mean, they just anticipated everything to be smooth so when things went bad, they were just not prepared. >> an

at least one has been filed against travis scott, live nation, the promoter of the music festival. joining me is ryan mccloud, who filed that lawsuit on one of the attendees, manuel souza. first of all, how is your client doing this morning? what did he experience on friday night? >> thank you, and good morning. thank you for covering this important story. obviously, tragedy in houston. my client is -- you know, there's the physical pain, and that's one part of this, but even kind of greater i think he's sharing is the emotional trauma from this, the emotional scarring, that sort of silent pain and really he felt being trapped, like he was drowning, felt like he couldn't breathe. then he was trampled and there was a hero, as many of these concertgoers turned out to be, who was able to lift him and get him out to safety. he's trying to do his best to recovery, and obviously time will tell where we end up with that. >> in terms of the lawsuit, travis scott, live nation, the concert promoter are all named and you call this a predictable and preventable tragedy, making the case that pr

scott, you're in birmingham, in the u. k. of course, many people outside of the middle east and north africa will have no idea that al jazeera is this huge media network with, with a whole range of, of different television and internet services. how important do you think the addition of the english landel channel, the english language channel and on websites was to the network and its impact globally? well, it was important for the channel, but it was more important for those of us who wanted news and information. i can remember in 2003 at the time of year rock war that of course, at that point it was primarily al jazeera arabic out here, english. i think it just started its website, which immediately came under attack. we didn't have al jazeera english television at that point, but at least we heard of these reports coming out of the arabic world, even if we couldn't speak arabic. and we saw the images of our guitar mentioned, which brought that war to us, or be it through our outlets. you said, oh look what, what we've got

then i'll come back to scott for the rejoinder. the insurrection was real, attempts to make it anything other than it was are shameless and dangerous. but the idea that this is all going to be about tying somebody to trump and this guy, he's all about trump, the guy is backing trump, if people don't like trump, you already got them. if people do like trump, you'll never get them. so stewart, the idea of that this is about democracy, isn't this almost a dead letter with democrats who haven't done anything about securing voting rights while they've been in power. if it's so bad, why can't they even get their own party to do something? >> that's a question to ask the democratic party. i spent 30 years pointing out flaws in the democratic party. what you said up front, the democrats would be a lot better off if they passed stuff people care about, the answer is overwhelmingly yes. but you have to shape the narrative, and say what is at stake. this isn't a normal time. the mistake that was made in virginia was to allow republicans to ru

our first guest is senator tim scott, republican of south carolina. you are on the banking and small business committees, we are for sure in your wheelhouse. it will come. you are promoting financial literacy, talking about why it is important. >> as a kid who was raised in a single parent household, the issue of financial literacy is something i wish i would have understood earlier in life. it is in my 20's before i started understanding and appreciating what you look like on paper may be more important and what to look like in person. financial literacy has so much to do with your future success and your opportunities. having not learned those lessons early in life, i wanted to make sure that a part of my focus is on making sure that americans today, no matter what their income, they have access to financial literacy. the more you find yourself in marginalized communities, the more important financial literacy really is. >> there is a lot of conversation about financial inclusion. wakanda u.s. government knew or should do -- what should the u.s. gov

now you are going to be bugging scott county to get elected. i think those three deserve to know -- we know one priority, the firefighter pension bill. can you talk about a couple other things that if those three are willing -- she has not committed. she is a tough customer. what are you going to -- what are they going to be working for? what is it you want to do that these folks care about? we have not talked about any of these questions seriously. bobby: i would just say what we have done in the last four years, achieving all of the items that i listed in my speech does not just happen or stay or continue without effort. you can pass a law and say great, we got it done, then walk away from it, never look back, never make sure they are protected, never make sure it is not being whittled away. compare them back to the pig i used to race with my uncle gary. when you give people time to get out of their fence come out of their pen come out of the law we have passed for them, that breaks down the spirit of the law. we are going to continue to push

ron brownstein and political commentator scott jennings. and in this corner -- i'm kidding, it's not going to be any of that. good to see both of you. ron, i am going to start with you. we are less than an hour away from election day, and all eyes are on virginia. i spoke to larry sabato earlier. he thinks this race is leaning towards glenn youngkin. how worried are democrats tonight? >> they're worried. look. i mean, in every election since 1977, except for one in 2013, the virginia governor's race has gone the opposite of the way that the -- the presidential race went. >> okay. okay. ron. ron. so, with that said, then why all the hyperventilating and people getting the vapor about, oh my gosh, terry mcauliffe could lose? i mean, that's what history has showed, right? >> well, right. the main reason, don, is the state has become more democratic, you know, over the last decade than it was through all of that history when it was a purple state or even republican leaning in the 1990s. look. i don't think terry mcauliffe losing guarantees that

the panic went on for 70 minutes in which travis scott performed his set. 70 minutes. how could this have gone on for so long without coming to a stop to address the issue? first of all, let's not call it a panic. that indicts the victims. it was not a panic, they were caught in a crowd craze, a common occurrence in front of a stage when people move forward to something of perceived value. it's the opposite of a stampede. this happened over time. the question is who was monitoring and looking after the crowd? and i'm not sure anyone was because there were many opportunities to stop this disaster from unfolding. >> that's what i want to dive a little more into. i used the word "panic" because that was the word of people at the concert. that's how they felt. they felt panicked. they were trying to flag down help. this was ongoing for 70 minutes. what do you do in this case, because you have performers who say, look, people pass out all the time at concerts, so how do you decipher between just typical passing out at a concert and really see that this is a horrible situati

travis scott took to twitter with this message. i'm absolutely devastated by what took place last night. my prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened. >> at astor roll festival. houston pd has my total support as they continue to look into the tragic loss of life. i am committed to working together with the houston community to heal and support the families in need. the festival. organizers say quote, we are focused on supporting local officials. however, we can. >> with that in mind, the festival will no longer be held on saturday. authorities are looking into the series of cardiac arrest that took place. i've been to concert but nothing like as big as what this was last night. like that feeling was just like a suffocating being a there was a few points. words like everything to stop for a second. everybody is like. and relax and then out of nowhere. i guess like a group of people or somebody just pushed everything. just like you it was compressed like you were just compress. point like my arms the who

houston's fire chief is talking with nbc news about questions over the roll of travis scott, who you know was on stage at the time, suggesting he could have stopped, he could have paused the concert when he started seeing signs that something was wrong. watch. >> at one point, there was an ambulance that was trying to make its way through the crowd, and he's got the artist has command of that crowd. >> is there any evidence that you've collected that suggests in any way he initiated this? >> no, not at this point. i'm not prepared to say that. i'm not prepared to say that he was fully aware of what was going on. >> travis scott's girlfriend kylie jenner said she and travis "were not aware of any fatalities" until the news came out of the show and in no world would have continued filming or performing. shaquille brucer is there now. you're in front of the line of flowers, this wall honoring the victims here getting bigger and bigger every day as we get a clearer and clearer picture of what happened in that horrific crush in the crowd on friday night including more details about i thin

thank you senator portman and senator scott for hosting this important forum today. my daughter died in 2015 from a single pill that was made to look identical to a trademarked pharmaceutical product notice percocet. tiffany didn't seek to use fentanyl. tiffany didn't really have any issues at all before that day when she died and now we have an entirely new population of people being affected by the fentanyl crisis that we have never in the history of this country seem before dying and they are the non-addictive victims. young people who are getting counterfeit bills or are given to them by a friend or they are being purchased in online platforms like snapchat that make these available to anyone who has a smart phone including children as young as 12-years-old. these children didn't overdose. the majority of people dying right now are not overdosing and we need to start calling them what they are. these are poisonings. someone that takes a substance and disguises it as something else or puts it into something for another to consume, it doesn't matter what they are c

former republican mals senator scott brown and michele bachmann. you were in the thick of a big time tea party wave in 2010. are you seeing similarities? >> without a doubt. i'm here in virginia. we saw it all tuesday night. it's clear the democratic leadership could care less would the people think. they care about what the people bought them want. they want a collapsing america, a non-competitive america. and who else would wants that more than the chinese government. who knows if they bought the chinese leadership. but that's what it looks like. jesse: scott brown you were from the middle of the action in 2009-2010. >> i was there to try to stop obamacare taking away your doctors. change healthcare as we know it. and they did it through reconciliation. now we see it again using reconciliation to ram through a spending bill that takes away people's freedoms. crt was the fire that started this revolution. but it was the parents being home for 18 months and seeing what their kids were actually being taught, and how dramatic it was from the teaching

scott responsible. mr. scott had full control of that crowd. if you just look at social media or any other type of video or audio you will see mr. scott dictating the pace of the concert, the crowd, whether it is raising the hand in the air and give the middle finger, which the crowd does on cue, jumping up and down on cue. he finished the entire set all the way to the end even though there were bodies in front of him. and there's videos of this, floating, meaning they were basically being surfed right out of the crowd, outside of a barricade, while kids were passing out. and erp they are stomping over each other because they couldn't breathe. they were all barricaded into one slot almost like cattle. so that's essentially what caused these kids basically to be pinned up against iron bars that essentially were bolted into the ground which essentially caused cracked ribs for them essentially and it didn't stop. they were had he pinned for about 15 minutes a pop. >> the other side is saying there is too much finger pointing at this point. what do
