the, the, this is the w news line from berlin, russia, as president clinton declares a day of morning, that's after more than a 130 people were killed in an attack on a concert venue near moscow. it's russia's worst terror attack in decades. and officials won the death toll will rise further. also on the program u. n. chief antonio, who cherish visits, rough on egypt, supported with gaza, close to where israel is planning a ground defensive, despite international criticism. also on the program sent a goal is about to head to the polls, to pick a new president and unprecedented electron following weeks of political crisis,

the and one. welcome to our viewers around the world. unlike a low to the death toll from an attack on a concert hall near moscow, has risen to a $133.00 and officials a warning. it could still increase. investigators have announced a series of arrests for people directly involved in the attack. have been detained . the so called is lum exchange. it has claimed responsibility. a warning the following report contains images you might find distressing of the hours of to the tech rescue is to find the able to enter the building inside. debris and devastation. much of the building has been brushing the stores has saved the place. started off

to the gunman, dogs the venue in the flammable liquid as fire and smoke in golf. the concert hall, some hiding between the rows, couldn't make it out of it. only even when we crawled out of the concert hall and went into the utility room, although i had talked to some folks, but they were in some kind of large scale explosions or the cubicle. there was some kind of pockets just before people. maybe it was some kind of small explosive and it was also a burning smell rubber good. if i got the impression that they probably wanted to somehow concentrate a lot of people inside and then also have a huge fire. so they couldn't get out. i have a feeling about dash board for the computer, but some of the kids should investigate has seized weapons and ammunition left behind by the attack. us witnesses say the gunman, shot non stop up to boosting into the building.

special forces continue to work at the scene, starting the evidence and cctv footage. public events have been canceled across russia. as the construct comes to terms with one, if it's douglas, tara tex, indicates russian flip president vladimir putin has a noun sunday as a day of national warning. let's listen to what he said. a lovely, see she has the most important thing now is not to let those behind these bloody butchering commit to new crimes, to cheat all 4 of those all directly involved in the attack. if you who shot and killed people have been found and the rest it and you put the, they tried to hide and move towards ukraine. you where according to a preliminary data you create inside, prepared the window for them optimal to cross the border. and the good few of all, and all 11 people have been detained to the federal security service and rushes of

the responsible law enforcement agencies a working on finding the terrorist. accomplices, the bustle of interest get by the dentist. earlier i spoke to military analyst marina moran from king's college, about the so called is lubbock state militant group, which has claimed responsibility for the attack. i asked her why i asked, would target russia and why now a? well, that's a good question because it is surprising that this group and it's not which shouldn't confuse it, was a main as why i mix state which is still active in iraq. it's slamming state k, which is a different group. it's case tense for, for a son. these guys were operating in the countess 10, so they, you were also a danger to both the taliban and the us whose they are. and they started in 2014 and allegedly they also have prices in north carcases. and they have

a clean the tax, for instance, the one in, in the ran also killing a lot of people just recently. so i think the problem here is that, yes, they do have grievances and they have been criticizing, put in, and they have been accusing russia of being implicated in suppressing muslims. but the problem is a timing why now? because the russians were fighting the assignment state in 2018, so it would make much more sense. but why didn't they wait until after the election to conduct their attack? and what exactly is their message at the stage, and how credible as a they have claimed the tax and the past, which they didn't conduct. so is there a lot of questions about this right now? i'm curious, how much of a presence does islamic state have in russia or in the region as well. there is some presence in russia and am as a matter of fact,

a f as be claimed stuff. they have prevented the cynical shooting after the in us intelligence had issued the wording to american citizens on march 7th, i believe it was so there is a presence. and there, there was those from russia who, back in the day when the syrian war was raging, were traveling from russia to see re, up to 5 on the side of the sly mc stayed there. so certainly there was a presence, but um, how big that network is, i cannot say it doesn't seem like it is very advanced. so they would have had to cross the board the possibly from the chicken's done. or maybe from his back to stand to gap, to russia, beyond rhetoric, how will the kremlin most likely respond to this attack? well, the immediate response was difficult. nobody expected it. i don't know,

at what point they f as b knew that something is being planned, as i said, they claim to have prevented another possible. sure thing by the slamming state just on march 8th. therefore, i think the immediate response, they did what they could do, what will happen next is of course, all for question was heard president put in saying that these militants wanted to go to ukraine to cross that ukrainian border. so i suppose there will be investigations and in terms of what links to these militants have, do they have any links to ukraine who is actually backing them because they so i mix, they could be behind the tax. but is it just the slack state or are there any potential groups involved in this? our thanks as always, to a military analyst, marina moran from kings college. thank you for having me to

you and secretary general antonio. good terrorist has visited the egyptian gauze or border to draw attention to the plight of palestinians there on a visit to the board of crossing with the city of rougher. who cherish said that without a search and aid people in garza would starve to death. is any service at all slugs? we'll make things even worse. worse for the policy and cvb is worse for the hostages and boards for all people of the region. oh, this demo site. so that think is more of in time for an immediate cease fire. i say the game is time for the night on glove commitments by israel for talking and festive and says 40 me 30 in gold city walk guys. so i mean the screen just compression is also time for the media. 3 leads of all stitches.

earlier i asked the w, corresponded rebecca renters in jerusalem to sum up the secretary general's remarks . well, my goal is probably not anything very unexpected in want until new guitars had to say he's visiting the region also. egypt and jordan as well as the scholars, a border area in on the addiction side during the whole 8 months of ramadan to pay his respects. and you know, he noted at that in his was at the board a sort of noting at the fact that many muslims inside gaza will not simply be fasting through choice of piety. but simply that they are not able to access any food, making it very clear that aid needs to go through. he said that the blocking of these a truck, some 7000 according to egyptian officials, as he was told by them there at the border. but that was a moral outrage and that something needed to be done. now israel says that they are not blocking that it is not them slowing things down,

but that is something that interests and officials. a saying is the problem that they're simply that there's 7000 trucks at the board of waiting to go through. and it's these checks by israel. that is slowing this delivery down. he also said, because we're not alone, that the national community was uphold. and standing by them, and he had, as you heard in, in that the salt about somebody that you just play there, that he was decrying that a further onslaught was, was bad, both for golf and as well as the hostages. he called for as you just heard in the, in the, in the did sort of because it's ramadan but that the, you know, people that have ma, should consider releasing the hostages. and again, of course, cooling for a cease by the day off to the web security council failed to vote on a on a recommendation for us 85 dw, corresponding rebecca readers injures one. thanks, rebecca. a brief look now at some of the other stories making news around the world
