because no one cares or if you join us on sept there are people that that are choosing between buying medication and eating this is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist just posted a story join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera you know what. i'm not sure i know what. winning the will of the people hinges on the mass media state p.r. machine that's going to overdrive this but just the spin influencing. we just don't know yet where the lines will be drawn between what can be said and what conduct that. some journalists decided to sacrifice their integrity for access to polling the media opinion the listening post but based time on al-jazeera.

public protests and russia's president putin visits the shopping center where a fire killed sixty four people most of them children. hello i'm maryam namazie in london you're watching al-jazeera also coming up. snobs the u.k. parliament but says he will testify before the u.s. congress over the misuse of facebook's users data. president trump sonnen or jag cushion a back in the spotlight this time over loans for his family's business. and a mysterious train and v.o.i.p. motorcades spot speculation that north korea's leader paid a secret visit to beijing.

five people have been charged over a fire in a shopping center in russia which killed sixty four people forty one of them children the russian president vladimir putin visited the siberian city where it happened and blame the tragedy on criminal negligence have been read protests on the streets demanding justice for the victims our moscow correspondent laurie chalons reports. will now be known as the sites of one of russia's worst far as since the breakup of the soviet union president vladimir putin who often stays away from domestic tragedies visited the siberian city on tuesday from this could be the whole country is born in review with the citizens they want to give voice and deep condolences to the families of those killed. at least sixty four people enjoying a sunday afternoon at the movies and as

a children's play area dies in the fire at this mall. it was the first day of a school vacation people from other cities came here to have a rest in the shopping mall and then what happened is very very sad as the fire swept the upper floors of the four story mall people found themselves traps investigators say the fire alarm system had been out of order for almost a week the security guard failed to turn on a public address system to warn people to evacuate and doors have been blocked several people jumped from windows to escape including this eleven year old boy his parents and little sister died young was i know you angry people gathered in central america on tuesday demanding truth and justice the region's deputy governor went down on his knees to ask for forgiveness he didn't get it. why do you lie this man do you understand that all these souls are on your conscience this is all

your fault. a wave of grief and anger is sweeping russia at the moments many people feel they're not being told the full truth about this disaster that they're being lied to by the or thora ts and the kremlin has announced a day of mourning for wednesday you know you i. acknowledge the growing outrage. why because of some criminal negligence how could happen what are the reasons what are the consequences of pride people of being detained including the mall's operators investigators now want them arrested and will evade the concerns of russians the prosecutor general's office says that fire safety measures in every mall in the country with an entertainment area will be checked to help prevent another tragedy. well two vigils are being held in moscow for the victims of this tragedy one is government approved while the other is an

independent memorial from where rory sent us this update the so i think it's an interesting insight into the modern russia these two events happening this evening i was the first one just a short while ago which was being held just within sight of the walls of the kremlin in money square central moscow that was the official government kind of indorsed memorial where people were being given red carnations asked to come and lay them on a platform with cubbie toys and things like that for us to remember the victims of this horrible fire this one is different this is a kind of more spontaneous grassroots people lead's demonstration and because of shows that in modern russia you have these twin approaches you have something that the government would like people to do and you have something different which the

people themselves or at least a section of the population would like to do. now nato has joined in the mass expulsion of russian diplomats in support of the u.k.'s action following the souls by nerve agent attack the secretary general again stoltenberg said that they're reducing the size of russia's nato mission from thirty to twenty australia island moldova and belgium have also joined the list of nations expelling russian officials taking it to twenty six stoltenberg says nato has measures are the result of a series of russian actions of course what triggered this was the sole spring attack but it is part of a broader response by nato allies to a prompt on all of unacceptable unacceptable and dangerous behavior by russia. we have seen the illegal annexation of crimea we have seen this that the stations of eastern ukraine we have seen cyber attacks we have seen the hybrid tactics we have

seen russia are investing heavily in modern military equipment and the willingness to use military force against neighbors or russia has continued to strongly deny any involvement in the salt spray attack the foreign minister sergei lavrov promised a strong response to the mass expulsion of diplomats and criticized both the u.k. and the u.s. for the use of use of the word speaker which we will respond on down to because nobody wants to talk about switchboards behavior and we won't either we know this is the result of colossal pleasure causal blackmail which is now unfortunately the main tool of washington on the international arena. now facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg is to testify before congress over social networks role in harvesting millions of users data without their knowledge facebook and the data analytics from cambridge analytical are at the center of

a raw of the way personal information was used to influence the outcome of the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election zuckerberg had earlier turned down a similar request from british m.p.'s who are investigating fake news the whistleblower at the heart of the scandal has been giving evidence to push m.p.'s christopher wiley said data gathered on lawfully was used to manipulate people in the u.k. to vote to leave the european union some are now calling for the brics that referendum to be declared null and void laurence leamer reports. christopher what his extraordinary relations are now casting a shadow over democratic elections on both sides of the atlantic here he was speaking to a u.k. government committee explaining how he knew that public opinion had been unlawfully manipulated before the referendum which is leading to the u.k. leaving the european union to irrevocably alter the constitutional settlement of this country on fraud is

a mutilation of the constitutional settlement of this country and you cannot call yourself a lever you cannot call yourself somebody who believes in british law and and win by breaking british law in order to achieve that. while the central claim is that the campaign group to leave the european union hired an offshoot of cambridge analytic the data mining company accused of harvesting personal details of millions of people through facebook and manipulating opinions in an attempt to put on trump in the white house the company he said had subverted elections for its own aims in countries including nigeria and trinidad now it was doing the same in the u.k. the company will send billions of people being murdered to intimidate voters this is the company that goes out and tries to illicitly acquire you know live internet browsing data of everyone in an entire country so i think a lot of questions should be asked about the role of patriotic here in this

election and whether they were indeed actually complying with the law here to answer they said had already been claimed believe campaign broke u.k. election law by using campaign funds on lawfully allegations the leave camp denies it but in an emergency debate in parliament m.p.'s hostile to brick sets have begun to demand the referendum results be declared null and void inherently untrustworthy if the allegations are true that a potentially six hundred. five thousand pounds was spent illegally in a very focused targeted campaign which by definition would been focused on targeted on a very small number of people then i think it's very hard to predict the the effect that would have passed the law is to new york and nobody is above at least one prominent m.p. who backs the leave campaign said he agreed with the need for

a criminal inquiry. so he's ended up in a situation where you get newspaper headlines like this questioning not just the ethical value but the sheer legality of the vote to leave the european union of course supporters of breakfast it would say the entire thing is a made up plot to discredit the democratic decision but in this hall of mirrors it's becoming increasingly difficult to know what's real and what's fake lawrence lee al-jazeera westminster in london now president trumps son in law and senior adviser jared question is facing yet more investigations and his business practices white house officials are looking into the legality of two loans totaling more than five hundred million dollars made to question or is married to trump's daughter ivanka it comes at the same time as a new york city investigation into alleged malpractise in question is property rental business patty cohen is following this story from washington so what do we know about this latest investigation patty. well there seems to be

a bit of confusion we just heard within the last hour from white house spokeswoman sarah sanders and she said white house lawyers aren't investigating jared cushion or i received a statement our few hours ago from his attorney who said the white house lawyers had concluded that there was no issue with anything that jared cushion or dead so basically they're saying that he had these meetings at the white house he talked about infrastructure and jobs and talked about potential job for one of the c.e.o.'s at the white house but they insist that these loans never came up so they have a heritage of stories coincidentally just a few weeks later both of these companies gave tremendous loans one one of those companies it was a much bigger loan than they've ever given before to the questioner companies but white house is saying there is no investigation the other option is you could go to the government ethics watchdog and they could look into it but really whatever they come up with is pretty much not enforceable so on this latest scandal or controversy surrounding jarrett kirshner it appears the white house is trying to

say time to move on we know that john is very much involved in. around domestic and foreign policy if these investigations continue will his position become untenable. i think it's fair to say that he is front and center in the moeller investigation robert muller obviously the special counsel look at a potential collusion between the trunk campaign and russia let's think about krishna's role in this he was in the meeting in the junior admit done junior. the son of the president admitted that he got an e-mail saying that he had the dirt hillary clinton and he said i love it so in the meeting with those russians and then during the transition it's been reported that he met with then russian ambassador and asked if they could set up some sort of back channel communications from within the russian embassy in the united states when that story broke folks who came out and said he just wanted to talk about syria but a back channel would be that it would be kept quiet and secret from the rest of the

intelligence community within the u.s. the u.s. government so they're definitely areas that they are probably when it comes to question are we believe the bowler's also looking into whether his business ties are leading to changes in american foreign policy we do know the jury considers father met with a guitar official looking for loans they are severely underwater in this huge building in new york city in manhattan at six six six fifth avenue. so they're hugely to what are the reports are they met with this guitar official that her official said no question or said he was the one who said no but regardless of a little while later trump really defied american foreign policy and backed the blockading come. to the black hating countries against cutter so muller we know is looking into the possibility that there was a tie between the qatari rejection and this change in american foreign policy so all up and down the mall or probe when you look you'll see they're looking into jerry kushner thank you very much patty calling bringing us with the latest on this story from washington and with al jazeera still to come on the program thousands

more syrians on leaving. but what awaits them in a province which is already home to a million displaced people. and we visit a small ethiopian village that's produced eight and madness. hello there we've had some very quiet weather across parts of europe recently mostly in the central parts this is what it looks like in germany a fair amount of folk and from what you can deduce that the winds were very light and there wasn't any cloud either but all of that's about to change thanks to this weather system that's piling in from the atlantic it's giving us some pretty heavy downpours at the moment and it's working its way steadily eastwards so more wet weather across parts of france and up into norway there during the day on wednesday they don't thursday it works its way towards the east and as it does so it hits

some colder air so we'll see more of that turn to snow and then further south we'll see rain and a bit more of the snow over the mountains behind that system there's yet another one that's going to be rolling its way into the northwest there on thursday so plenty of wet weather about over the next few days now it further towards the south of us some of us in the northern parts of africa there's also been some rather unsettled weather over the past few days as well this latest system is really pulling itself together as it makes its way across the north coast of libya and egypt that certain plenty of what weather ahead of it as well and it's working its way up towards turkey so that's where we're going to see some of the wettest of the weather during the day on thursday behind it coming down for the northwestern parts of africa not too bad with nineteen here about. a conflict standing seven years. humanitarian

disaster displacing more than for the nation. just your world gets to children who have become victims of syria's civil war. by the syrian child on al-jazeera. welcome back with al-jazeera a quick recap of the top stories now they have been read protests on the streets of cairo in eastern russia off to sixty four people forty one of them children killed in a fire at a shopping center five people have been charged over the fire. nato has joined the

mass expulsion of russian diplomats in the wake of the alleged attack in the u.k. saying there are costs and consequences for its behavior. and facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg is reported to be that he will testify before congress following his website's mass data breach. now russia's defense ministry says twenty seven people have died in damascus of the water shelling from a rebel held area thirteen thousand fighters and their families have left syria's eastern area over the past three days heading to the only remaining rebel held region evacuations a part of a deal struck between rebels and the syrian government ally russia in a honda has the story from beirut. ahmed says he never carried arms against the syrian government but some of his family members belong to the five rebel faction

that's one of the reasons why he left his home in eastern as part of the surrender deal reached with the pro-government alliance the other reason is his opposition to reconciling with a government that has killed so many people. every family in lost a family member i lost a lot of friends i lost a colleague who was among twenty. six who died in the famous airstrike i lost two children that i was teaching at school we decided to move away from this brutal regime. ahmad now lives in a mosque he is among some eight hundred thousand people who have been displaced from what was once the rebel controlled enclave in the suburbs of damascus many of those deported to adlib opposition controlled province in the northwest are fighters. is one of them the rebels controlled since late two thousand and twelve but months later it was besieged by government forces. and it's sad that we

lost this battle after seven years of remaining steadfast after so many sacrifices we had to surrender because of the civilians they killed many children the hospitals were out of service anyone injured would die slowly. camps are being set up for syria's newly displaced the refugee camps are overstretched this is a province with a population of one million displaced people and local communities are struggling to cope. when rebels are defeated they go to adlib those who don't want to live under the rule of president bashar assad also move to live but there is nowhere safe in that province airstrikes continue to hit nonmilitary targets such as schools and health facilities the rebels arrived with their light weapons it's not clear if they will join the ranks of the armed factions of adlib where there has been rebel fighting. before the onset regime for seven years but no food or water until the regime of the russians launched

a barbaric campaign we promised the also regime that we will return we will liberate the area there are those who refused to admit defeat but the loss of easter is the worst setback for the opposition since it was forced to surrender the eastern part of aleppo city in two thousand and sixteen after a similar military campaign said. beirut. now iran's revolutionary guard has denied saudi accusations that its arming who see rebels in yemen who these fired several missiles across the border on sunday targeting saudi arabia's capital riyadh iran has been accused of selling weapons to who sees in the past a report by the iranian news agency testy in quotes the revolutionary guard as saying yemenis are capable of producing their own weapons. it's the second day of voting in egypt's presidential election and people have been warned that it's mandatory by law to vote those who don't take part risk being fined comes as opposition the opposition calls for a boycott of the election saying that repression has removed any credible

challenges to the incumbent president abdel fatah sisi who is predicted to win a more sure is a professor of security studies at the doha institute for graduate studies he says a high turnout is very important to the government so it's going to great lengths to make sure people vote. and that's why you have most of the state sponsored medio the state owned media and the private media urging voters to come you have religious faith was saying that if you did not vote then you are a giant which means to take off some sort. of moral nationalist media saying that if you do not vote then you are a traitor to a lot of pressure on the electorate in general fifty nine million of them to turn out and vote thing is we know that egypt's voter apathy is very widespread during that the only time when there was like real elections real free and fair elections was between twenty seven and twenty thirteen the maximum that went to vote back
