could continue for some time. i took them out of option before we are in a fight on several fronts jerusalem gaza and elsewhere in this country this evening on jerusalem day the terrorist organizations in gaza have crossed a red line and attacked us with missiles in the outskirts of jerusalem. the catalyst for the violence was israel's plans to evict a number of palestinian families from east jerusalem to make room for jewish settlers. oh jerusalem's al aksa mosque compound a sacred site to both muslims and jews has also been at the center of tensions in recent weeks. the international community

has repeated its calls for deescalation. a rare school shooting in russia at least 7 children were killed and many more wounded today in a school shooting in the russian city of cazan 2 members of staff including a teacher were also killed the suspect the gunman is a teenager who's thought to be a former student at the school. students in their black and white uniforms flee across the school grounds away from the chaos inside a gunman entered the school early in the day and began shooting several explosions were heard. some students were seen leaping from 3rd floor windows to escape. ambulances amassed to treat the many wounded and ferry them to hospital. that are literally some have penetrating wounds stab wounds there are people with muscular skeletal injuries as well. security forces swarmed to the school within an

hour seizing the gunmen alive he's been named as a 19 year old who had announced his intention to kill on social media though his motive is unknown it's his. family members gathered at the school bracing themselves for terrible news of those who were killed most were only 8th grade students as well as one teacher the regional leader has declared a day of mourning. this is a great tragedy for our republic for our entire country and we deeply regret that this is happening this way that. school shootings are rare in russia where gun laws are tight the government has ordered a review of firearm regulations meanwhile the city of cazan grieves and waits for answers. let's bring in now our moscow bureau chief he is at the scene

in southwestern russia. you're at the school right now what more can you tell us about the scene there. well brand people i talked to are absolutely shocked and nothing like this has ever happened here and cazan just the bag background cazan is the capital of the russian republic of tatarstan just over 1000000 people live here different nations fresh in the stock. gradients tourists come here from all over russia the city is known for being very beautiful and peaceful it used to be one of the host cities during this suck a walled in russia 2018 so the fact that something like this could happen has shocked everyone here but people are not afraid there is additional security at schools across the city at the moment and schools will be closed today and tomorrow here as well thursday has been declared an official day of mourning in the republic of tatarstan do you have any indication tonight about a possible motive for the shooting while the investigations

is to get into this attack is ongoing so we may find out more baath of this shooter small soon as far as we know the suspected attacker was a 19 year old man she reportedly graduated from the school here at tax 4 years ago an interesting detail is that a few days ago the attack a cold himself on social media dogs and all the morning before the shooting he announced he would be killing a huge number of biomass well tatarstan is a muslim republic with the in russia islam plays a very important role here but we have to be very careful with be justice comparing this shooting for example with the bistline school siege 2004 that involved in prison went off more than 1000 people as hostages you know we are used to hearing about school shootings taking place in the united states but what about russia how common are school shootings in russia. well such attacks are extremely

rare in russia i have to say very different from the us and school attacks with a firearm arm even the rare are because russia has very strict gun laws the school attacks that to detect blame take place in the recent guess in that country will mostly carried out eyes a with other weapons like with a knife or a ham out all with an advantage in recent yes however it has been relatively quiet in russia as it was a normal to at tax no mass at tax security services of very present all the russian stres people i checked in the entrances of all large shops and shopping centers and on the subway. rish other but the latest tonight from the city of cazan where that school shooting took place today gary thank you and let's get you up to speed now on some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world the european union's foreign affairs representative says north macedonia meets the

to more anger and frustration with the government in delhi. it has been a decade since a landmark treaty on violence against women and domestic abuse came into force the stamboul convention says that nations must prevent violence against women and promote equality with men nations are required to investigate allegations of violence and to protect victims the un says one in 3 women worldwide as experienced domestic or sexual violence meanwhile university students in britain are protesting against sexual harassment and violence on campus very good mosque has more fear of sexual violence runs rampant in this university that's what emily f.s.d.o. english student says she says she knows women who have been attacked and raped on the grounds of the university of warrick i haven't met

a girl who has an encounter something on campus whether the cop cooling or something so much more serious there's such a huge scale it's everywhere. and. for months women have to be protesting at the university against what they call rape culture emilie's one of the main organizers she herself us been sexually assaulted she describes what happened at her kitchen jaring party i had a close friend of mine who i completely thought i could trust he ended up griping me and my kitchen and after that he sent his friends a series of voice knights about me that they then played to me about like kind of how he was looking at my body and how he was so excited to come back to university so he could have his way with me. the students are also fighting against other comparatively small offenses and they have concrete demands for university management a small group of women has been occupying the campus for 2 months. they say may

have to trade just cross the line too often and get away with it and no one really helps the victims the university of warwick says in a statement that they are committed to eliminating all forms of sexual violence and they're encouraging students to come forward and to report any sexual misconduct for many students however this is not good enough so the supporters at the moment are very very subpar they're not saying what they should do the under-funded under-staffed so we want to be in we want to make sure the survivors have enough support after their incidents they may have to live in a tent and study for exams as the rain falls but female students here won't give up until their demands are met they also have to change male attitudes about how women should be treated. it falls on the men to make sure that there's a responsibility to make sure that you can make the women feel safe on campus by doing basic things and picking up on basic cues emily eisenberg is happy to see

that things are beginning to change people i think be ostracized they stop talking of us because for the 1st time like boys are watching tugging on the friends and like recognizing the issue and disagreeing with what's going on she end of friends hope that protests will be heard throughout the u.k. they're convinced that the fear that motivates them is felt by women everywhere not just at their university. china's population is growing at the lowest rate in decades to slow down could have enormous implications let's look at the numbers here there are currently 1400000000 people living in china that's 5 percent more than just a decade ago but many worry the birth rate it remains to weaken the population is getting to watch the number of chinese between the ages of 15 and 59 has dropped by 7 percent parents say they can't afford to have big families anymore. gentian is 7 months pregnant and like many other women living here in shanghai having

a baby has been a big decision. and it is useful for us to have a child we needed a certain financial foundation before we could consider it now my financial resources are enough to support a baby as for a 2nd i have to see if i have the energy. here. according to china's latest census its population has grown by 72000000 since 2010. that may sound a lot but it's the slowest birth rate for decades. in the late 1970 s. a one child policy was introduced to stop a population explosion. it works so well that in 2015 it was replaced with a 2 child limit but not everyone is happy with that decision. that

here all the other a mother of 2 children although i followed the call of our country to give birth to a 2nd child i actually regret this decision or finances it good but the biggest problem is that no one can help us with our children there are. many now expect beijing to change the rules again in order to encourage more women to give birth. but china also has another headache. it's facing a decline in its working age population as the country gets older. i should already know that the aging process is obviously quickened from 2010 to 20 the total population of people over 60 has increased by 5.4 percent. china is still the most populous country in the wild but it slowing rates have population growth is raising fears of

a demographic time bomb in the future. the business and political pressure was simply too great today german football association president fritz keller resigned he sparked controversy 2 months ago when he compared one of his colleagues to a notorious nazi judge. once again germany's football federation a t.f.p. finds itself in a state of disrepair its president for its color forced out after he compared one of his deputies ryan a call to the nazi judge and war criminal wrote on friday. keller made the remarks in april but the pressure on him to go grew and grew. it resulted in a d.s.p. ethics investigation and the loss of confidence of the federation is members. and it did such remarks a completely unacceptable and have left us stunned we condemned them in the strongest possible terms of the foot were tired the irony is that keller was

appointed to clean up the federation the man to turn things around after a series of corruption scandals. was the celebs we have to be so transparent that at some point it becomes boring to talk about us that psagot does this or that scene. but khalaf out foul of a power struggle at the top of the d.s.p. with his general secretary freakish curteous the old guard seemingly not ready for . vision for change leaving germany's football federation in need of yet you whole generation. of scientists believe that. most likely originated in the wild animal we now know that domesticated animals. can become carriers of the disease and even develop new patients which are dangerous to humans that's the thinking symon in the united states are working on a vaccine but russia is leading the pack the 1st respect for animals is now ready

for people just in a much much lighter form. but it's not the symptoms themselves that are a concern here the world health organization has warned that animals including minks could become carriers for the corona virus and even pass it back to people last year 17000000 links were called in denmark after some of them caught covert 19 . the russia. made vaccine called carney back called could prevent that according to developers the country's veterinary and cultural watchdog. began trials on rabbits dogs cats foxes and other animals in october now they say the job is ready for mass production. the vaccines developers say there has already been demand for the job from businesses in several european countries including in germany. or recommends the vaccine for animals kept in close contact including at for farms and

zoos they say that for now pets like these cats are very unlikely to become a risk to their owners. or you're watching. back to take you through the day tonight the republican party in the us allegiance to donald trump is a must loyalty to the truth is a liability. in
