was able to hear the shooting never. it was non stop. it was not like one shot at a time. it was shooting without stopping. i didn't know what was happening to us as we were receiving some messages on the phone. some kids from the 7th grade class, when not replying, he said we were in real fear. you're then asked them, he thought, medically, the automobile ready, the teacher mediately sheltered the children, locked the men. some of them were under the tables, so they were safe in sight or after i didn't know how much time do they let them out, e, e, e, on this thumb, or benny or herb is better than me. the w course. one of each or safari is outside the elementary school in belgrade. way that shooting to place it all soviet authorities just gave an update on the shooting. what did we learn? well we learned that the suspect land long longer time ago, this is action and he even had the shooting list, the week them the police press conference and they explained that

he even did call the police officer the shooting to let them know what happened and the more, more also they are still updating the information, but this tragedy would probably be much bigger if guards who died in the south again with him. so he went all around the school. the kids were really so much the real tragedy of the never happened before in serbia are neither in this region because the wireless is full. it's brandon, but it's never happened but someone goes inside. and we're talking about a 7th grader who plans this according to police. what else do we know about the

suspect? well, he was born in 2009 and he was in 7th grade. we don't have lots of information and lation, but he was unhappy with some of them, but we don't always just like a media. lots of information going on. the teachers also called the police and one of the. ready information about that, but we know that. ready they are in the hospital all or some other injured them now and now there were 9 big children, amber guards. so we are looking to see what's going on. i don't know much about the kids that the guns were father and the plan. what was happening officially?

declared 3 days of money today because it's all happening in one of the most part of the other thing is that this suspected kid managed to get hold of a weapon. reportedly, his father's weapon and experts have been sounding the alarm for years. warning about the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of illegal weapons in circulation since the $900.00 ninety's. yes. whoa. whoa. will have, anytime the less they are doing that and i was gone. and lots of people are now

all 4 minutes to to. ready to take some action about more security w 0 security. thank you very much for bringing us up to date on that breaking news . look now with some other stories making news around the world. german, an italian police have arrested more than $100.00 suspects in a crack down on the italian mafia group. the get. the suspects are accused of drug smuggling money. the ordering and fraud. similar operations are being carried out in other european countries as part of a joint action against the council price. if one does, public grow constant says flooding in the western and northern parts of the country, kill holden, $100.00 people, authority searching survivors is flood waters. it's swept away homes and infrastructure. in some areas, roads have been cut off by land slides and planted fields complicating evacuation.

ukrainian president, florida soleski is in finland to meet with nordic leaders. he was greeted by the president of finland, which became nato's us member in april. zalinski is also scheduled to attend to summit with the leaders of sweden, no way denmark and iceland. german authorities have confirmed that the ukrainian leader will visit berlin later this month. and some breaking news coming in russia has accused ukraine of attempting to kill russian president vladimir putin in a draught attack on the kremlin. that's according to the state run re a news agency. it says to drones were shot down at the kremlin, will respond when and how it sees fit. well, let's take you over to our russia analyst. oh my god, joe, who's in bon? when could you 1st of all, tell us about whether or not you can verify any of these reports?

this alleged attack on the russian president? well, it's breaking news and we can only report what we hear from the official sources in russia. and they are saying that there were 2 drones last night and trying to attack the criminal where the russian president vladimir putin, is that he's unharmed and continue working. so we only know that there were 2 drones and they were somehow stopped neutralized. and what we can deduce from, from the 1st reports from russia, they will not shut down, but somehow forced to land by electronic warfare. this, this, what it looks like. and it's, it's the 1st time that we hear something like this happening. there is no information from other sources, so it could be anything, it could be a ukrainian attempt. it would be someone from russia, so russian citizens and kind of opposition underground, whatever. and it could be

a staged operation by russian secret service. so at this moment it is, it is too early to say anything specific, but it's still in the news is very, very important. i think because as i've said it is the 1st time that we see something like this happening, presumably happening. and it is, it is important for several reasons we saw in the past days we had in the past days that both russia and ukraine extensively using drones to attack a critical infrastructure. there were no confirmations from ukrainian side that it was behind the text. for example, this morning and near crimea on russian mainland in the rest of region of customer region, hitting a tank there and fuel tank. there were also hits in the past days, so we see more and more such drawn attacks. and russian authorities have been

preparing actually for possible ukrainian attack on moscow on kremlin. in the past months, we saw reports about drones being found, adjust nearby moscow, some 50 kilometers from moscow way in awards. there were reports about a drawing with explosives which was landed somewhere in the middle of the forest. there were reports about the russian defense ministry putting very sophisticated, very heavy defense systems on rooftop of the defense ministry and other buildings in central moscow, which is a sign that russia was afraid of possible drone strikes. and it is, it is very remarkable because moscow is probably the best best protected city in russia. and especially the kremlin area is, is very good protect it. so it is absolutely unclear how to ukrainian drones could make it to the kremlin. and they fell on the kremlin territory. this is what the

reports say. we cannot verify that, but it is very, very unusual point. you have that open going to go. thank you very much for the insights into that breaking news. a journalist and activists in belarus has been sentenced to 8 years in prison, accused by the regime of plotting on rest and planning to seize palatable or man at the see which was rested in may 2021. when his wine f, like to lithuania, was forced by authorities to landed the bell russian capital minsk, he ran a telegram news channel that was widely used by protesters opposing the election in 2020. it's all alexander lucas shanker. claim. a 6th time in office, jo focuses as freedom has also taken a massive blow in russia. following the invasion of ukraine. you lost their full bid journalists from criticizing the kremlin circle, special military operation. and there are very few independent media outlets left in russia. as we mock the 30th anniversary of world press freedom day, we take

a look at one of those outlets tiger evoke, which operates out of siberia. i know in the name of the law, stop this action immediately. the police warning is unequivocal. the scene an anti war demonstration in novel spears. a year ago. these pictures were taken by reporters from the local internet portal tiger dot info. one of the few independent media outlets still working in russia. but since the beginning of the war in ukraine, their work has changed right away to slowly we used to report on life in siberia for the whole of russia. now it's the other way around. we report on life in russia for siberia because everything that is currently happening in our country is reported by the national media from a different angle. mugger volume, along that angle, is unconditional support of the kremlin policies, especially the worn ukraine. critics are silenced with draconian punishments made

possible by a law criminalizing anything, the kremlin sees as discrediting the armed forces. that means that virtually any critical statement about the actions of the russian army can lead to a fine or imprisonment, which is why most independent media have had to leave russia were closed down altogether. tiger dot info decided to stay and continue the web portals. now 18 year history, but it hasn't been easy. well, one was really when you read the woods, you were forced to constantly maneuver and not cross the red lines of the circle of people who continue to talk to us has become smaller, the smaller because even those who have always sympathized with us are now forced to keep their distance away from it has become much harder to get information in order to protect colleagues from possible prosecution. tiger dot info decided not to report directly on the war,

but on it's consequences for people on economic problems, social problems. and of course on mobile ization, the creators constantly face opposition from the authorities. recently they were met with a hostile reaction from state television when tiger dot info exposed to deputy people who signed up as a volunteer for the front and disappeared on his way to ukraine, holding a traitor in the ranks that that's a headache for the authorities. that's just, i just know for when the course we are all afraid the problem norm. but either you are trapped in this fear of a split or you can overcome it and make change happen. what this was, of course, this change can only be achieved with small steps is meaningful when you want to store what we shouldn't just stay silent again. i caught up in north monument shit . although the media regulator blocks tiger dot info a year ago, the website reaches its audience through vpn encryption. and they want to continue

reporting on russia in russia. and a little reminder of the top story we're following for you to sound. at least 9 people, the dead after a shooting. at an elementary school in the serbian capital, belgrade police arrested a 14 year old boy among the victims at children and a security guard. several others are injured, including a teacher is believed to be in a critical condition and documentaries of next look at how will work in the future and being visible and to you again very soon. you know, they tell me what debbie referred in read. it's 10 times more holocaust survivors in postwar, germany for them life after 945 through today has meant starting a new and processing the past.
