during warning rush hour please, so not treating it. there was an act of terrorism that say, the motive is not yet known. they're not moving anything out. well, new york police commissioner kitchen soule explained how the shooting unfolded. just before 824 this morning. as a manhattan bound and train waited to enter the 35th street station, an individual on that train donned what appeared to be a gas mass, either to the canister out of his bag and opened it. the train at that time began to fill with smoke. he then opened fire tracking multiple people on the subway, and in the black one school street gave the elizondo whose live in new york hi there, gave. so what more do we know what this stage about the attack? what for the details are there? and of course, the suspects will appear to be attack the suspect, boarded one of the subway carriages and then released some sort of gas

bomb if you will, for lack of a better word. and that, that caused of course media panic and the subway. and then he opened up fi, open fire, the train continued to go to the next station, and that's when people flooded out of the carriages. panic ensued and then that is when people started taking videos and pictures of what they saw, the real panic happened there. that care the subway car and the subway stations were full of people because this happened right. during busy rush hours, commuters were heading into new york city for work. many children or young people were on the train as well on the subway as well, because they were going to school. there's still a lot of unknowns about this attack, the since it happened on a moving subway train in terms of the suspect, the big thing here is that he has not been apprehended yet. and so there's a massive man underway right now in various neighborhoods of new york city,

basically looking for him. the motive for this attack still very much unknown. and that's a big question that a lot of people are going to be asking, what would prompt the suspect to do this? and then the question to us, where did he go? did he run down the train tracks? did he go outside the train station? what direction did he run? these are all questions that police are trying to piece together right now. and they're asking for the public's help in trying to see if they know anything about this to call the police with any sort of information. but it's still very much a 10 situation here in new york because this gunman is still on the loose. as the governor said, when she spoke a couple hours ago, she implored, implored new yorkers to her words, be careful and be cautious. it's a dangerous situation. gave that was going to be my next question. what, what impact is this having on the people of new york on, on their psyche or many new yorkers were

already concerned with a rising rising increase in violence on the subway system even before this attack here on tuesday morning. so now it's going to even increase it even more. the new mayor of new york city is only been on the job a little over 3 months. he's actually a former police officer himself, and he has made tackling violent crime on the subway system. one of his top priorities and just recently initiated another new program to put police officers a back on the subways, writing the subways to help try to bring down the crime. but clearly, this is a shooting that is left a lot of new yorkers shocked because this is really a worst nightmare. for many people. hundreds of thousands of new yorkers take the subway every single day. and now that the corporate numbers have come down in new

york, the subway system is operating at about 70 percent of roughly of what it was pre coven. so the subway system is very busy right now. and in many of the major stations like where this took place, some of the subway cars or shoulder to shoulder with, with people. so, this is certainly gonna, you know, make people think twice if you will. or is it going to stop new yorkers from riding the subway? absolutely not. but it certainly is good for the new yorkers. cautious and many are quite frankly, very worried after this. most recent here. attack. the only good news so far is it, none of those who were shot appeared to have any life threatening wounds, but still a terribly violence situation. gave ellison's of their live with the latest from new york, a thank you to

ideology became a fact of life and ukraine was, it was unavoidable. we are taking steps to provide security for russia. we didn't have any other choice. we did the right thing, and i have no doubt that our aims will be achieved. is that you, we don't intend to be isolated? it's impossible to severely isolate any one in the modern world, especially such a vast country as russia. that's why we are going to continue to work with those about harkness, who want to cooperate? believe oh, let's go live nancy were so sir dar in the capitol? keith hi, there were so. so no change until nan from president putin who still seems to be in a very determined mood. that's right. and today he just added that there, that, that the political talks are also in a than that. and so, and he said that ukraine as they worked at from the progress or the from the deal, did the proposal that they have submitted in stumble. that,

that the piece told that took place in the stumble on march 29. it was quite a radical move by the ukranian side and the proposal for the 1st time there were hopes, a high hopes regarding the piece to progress. so simply not by that time russia had the, the demands from ukraine. one of that was the demilitarization of the country, the neutrality of the company, denies vacation, and also you came to accept crimea l officially as a part of russia and also to recognize the dependence. the independence of the 2 separate hist republishing eastern ukraine will ask and don yes can. so the ukrainians, i came up with a proposal saying that ukraine is ready to to, to announce neutrality. which means not are pursuing the goal of being in nato member. but in return it asked for international guarantees. so when it comes to the, it's a territorial integrity for the 1st time. ukraine signal that it is ready for the

negotiations, ukrainian delegation, propose russia for 15 years period of a consultation. so regarding the safety of, of crime and it was the 1st time that you clean, accepted to discuss that status of this part. but however, in later that we have seen that ukrainian side has been kind of firmer regarding that because it is a quite tough for a company to negotiate on its territorial integrity and given more and more territories to a country that is in, in, in fight with so that's why putting to they said that there, that the pistols are in a, in that and for now. and we're, so meanwhile we continue to see, of course, a build up of russian traits in the east. just of the day that the meetings between the delegation in istanbul on 29th of march, russia as a sign of good will. this is what russian officials were telling they withdrew they are a military forces, are in

we had 23000 cases or just over reported of curve at 19. this is slightly down from the figures on monday, but it's still nowhere near. well, authorities want those numbers to be on tuesday of shanghai official so that the outbreak is still not effectively under control. and so what we're seeing here is the government really under increasing pressure to do something. it says it is eating a restrictions, but just really mildly because they are facing a lot of complaints about the way this lockdown has been handled. so far. police have find the british prime minister and his finance minister over the so called party gave scandal. it makes boris johnson the case 1st. prime minister has to be found guilty of breaking the law whilst in office. he's apologized but is refusing to quit for breaching colbert regulations and his government office from dining street hall. brandon reports you must to day, the rules on social distancing, and the messages were clear. stay at home, lying,
