least 9 people in east and ukraine. rescuers in sylvia ask desperately, dick for survivors in the rubble, as keith calls it a terror attack. and the suspect to have the center of massive us intelligence league appears in court. the 21 year old, a national guardsman is charged with orchestrating the most damaging lead of you is classified documents in a decade. ah . hello monica jones. welcome to the program. japan's prime minister full mucus sheeter has been brought to safety after an explosion went off just before he was due to give a campaign speech. police have detained a suspect for allegedly throwing

a smoke bomb. casita was visiting the poor city of africa, jamar during local elections. the incident comes 9 months after former prime minister shinto albert was assassinated while holding a campaign speech. and joining us now from west virginia blush care, she is a freelance journalist, joining us from tokyo, sonya good to have you with us. what more can you tell us? what's the latest that we know about that incident? was it an attack? it very much looks like an attack and though my feeling is that it's a bit like a copycat attack, probably on you mentioned the other incident last year, but that is really just my, my theory at the moment not much is known. we only know that the, the alleged perpetrator was a 24 year old neil or from neighboring your prefecture. and some people saw him in the crowd. he threw something which landed about one meter from he sheeta. and she

was brought to safety very quickly. then people who around the person shackleton very quickly pushed him to the ground, does seem to be holding a 2nd device on the seconds and silver objects on and about 2030 seconds later there was an explosion. so basically, moralist, all that, you know, at this stage you see the only one hour and 10 minutes later gave another another speech new by and obviously condemned to the attack. you mentioned her that it could be a sort of copy cat attack her similar to what happened 9 months ago where it is, was fatal a. but can we read anything into the political climate in japan right now that these things are happening? to be honest, i don't see a dire connection to the political climate in japan. the attack last year had a very specific reason. the attacker last year wanted to point out

a political failure with regard to a sect that was very prevalent in japan and that had political ties. i don't believe that this time there was any relation with the current political climate in japan. initially i thought maybe it has to do with the g 7. obviously the mysterious meetings are taking place in the summer will be taking place next month . but at the moment i feel it's too early to really tell what might behind this but will security be tightened a given that the g 7 summit is coming up shortly? yes. yes. and they've already tightened in since last year. obviously police have been very nervous since then. there was a lot of criticism how they handled the attack last year. and i heard some extra talking earlier saying that there were more police compared to previous events. also of course heater is in office right now, so he would have more security detail on him anyway. but i think after this attack,

japan will ramp up security measures even more. all right. well thank you so much sir. sonya blush, k there, freelance journalist joining us from tokyo, thank you. rescue us are searching for survivors, and the ukrainian city are slow the ants after at least 9 people, including a toddler, were killed in russian airstrikes. the latest attack came as russian president vladimir putin signed into law, a bill that will allow him to draft citizens into the military via email. so the answer is just 50 kilometers from back. would the current epicenter of fighting in ukraine, trapped within the rebel in a residential area. devastated by russian shelling rescue was search this apartment block the survivors, bringing those who they confined to safety. some

residents were in obvious distress. after their neighbourhood was reduced to rubble . b, i knew that he has not yet local officials said at least 7 spots in slavery. unscrew targeted, including homes and civilian infrastructure. were lim, router feel good, good. i was just coming back home. everything should have been all right. fortunate . i had just left a shop, there was the post office and just beyond that, there was a lot of smoke already gonna come and i was lucky, horowitz, i got to the street and i was told not to go any further because of the explosions . good. advancing group group, we want to look at the actual ukranian president vladimir lensky called it's another terror attack on his country. was we change it as $300.00

missiles hit residential areas, regular civilian buildings. there are people under the rubble. everything is being done to save them. everything is being done to save the wounded, was unable to waste, if the city of buck moot is just 50 kilometers to the south of slo vianza and is a site of the heaviest fighting on the ukrainian frontline. but for ukrainians, attacks on homes like these are a reminder that no way safe a u. s. am and suspected of leaking, highly sensitive intelligence. documents has appeared in court for the 1st time. the 21 year old was charged with illegally copying and transmitting classified materials. if found guilty, he faces up to 15 years in prison. prosecutor say he posted hundreds of classified documents and an online chat group. before his arrest on thursday. they included

military secrets from ukraine, as well as details of us by operations on its own allies. calling clark is an analyst with global intelligence and security consultancy. so found group. we asked him earlier if he expects more leaked documents to surface. we just don't know. i mean, i think that's probably one of the most embarrassing aspects of this is the fact that these documents were out there in the wild, so to speak, for as long as they were without anyone from the u. s. government or realizing. and i think that's tremendously damaging in terms of, you know, how we keep track of classified information and the fact that some of these documents have been than altered again are altered. and then kind of recycle tish to with casualty figures for the russians. the premiums being clearly manipulated. we don't know what you know coming up moving forward from your what's gonna be real and what's not security analyst calling clark fail. now here's
