trying to get work. for a very bad impact and now we've got traffic jams pretty much everywhere around town . well we'll leave it there because i believe we can speak shortly so i we are going to speak shortly to rome and of course that have another correspondent to the scene we're looking at pictures and we can see helicopters have landed on the grass verge that the injured to the hospital just to give people an idea what it is to the hospital back up in moscow for an incident like this there are a number of hospitals to which people will be taken yes they are there are a number of hospitals we're talking about well i believe there are five hospitals one that are located within the well it's not in the downtown but very access to the downtown of the city and well when these incidents do

occur in moscow that's where all the injured are being taking to because these hospitals are well they're trained to work in these situations unfortunately and they do have the system to provide medical care and medical care we imagine the how to those people as soon as they get them. but i know we'll leave it there because we cannot change across to all correspondence course that i have we do believe that he knows one of the people on the try and we're going to speak to him. what i'm on your on the line now as i understand it you were able to speak to one of the people on the train what did i say. actually a couple of people who were on the train their coworkers my wife and our offices are located very close to the scene of the accident. of our station that's where they get off in order to get into the office well one of her coworkers his name is

today he was in one of those carriages that were destroyed practically by the accident and when one was spoke to him on the phone really we were really worried about him oh what's what happens whether he was alive or not so but he finally came through on the phone now he said that he did manage to get evacuated left the metro with his bare feet so obviously there is a lot of flood damage to his body despite that he was actually trying to help to help others who were in need that he said it was a horrible seeing all the carnage people laying about actually help to get them to evacuate them. from the ground sounds and the other person also the coworker. my wife she was actually outside and she saw all the people coming out and people

brought out from on the ground she said they were a lot of people were bloody a lot of people had practically pale white faces and white hair and she said it was absolutely horrible to see all these people coming out and since then the person i was talking about earlier i was trying to get a hold of him to record something for us to say what happened but i haven't been able to get a hold of him so perhaps a he's been taken to the hospital as well hopefully he is a k. but so. when i spoke to him his voice was pumping with the adrenalin and. once again i hope he is fine right now but i'll try to get ahold of him again as soon as reporting with you guys sure will get a man we understand three people have lost their lives in this accident still not

sure whether that death toll will rise can you just recap for us what happened early this morning in the rush hour to give people an idea of actually what happened. well with the idea of this metro line. the dark blue line it's one of the busiest and most go it has a twenty two stations it runs all the way through the russian capital and it accommodates approximately eight hundred thousand people per day so you can imagine the magnitude of the important sulfide this particular line and in the morning when tricity was cut. through the rail called. a rail cars to derail and the train stopped very suddenly and obviously went off the track after that scores of people were injured thankfully the russian emergencies ministry. one of their units is very close to that area i live in that area so i

know it's very close it's about a couple of kilometers away so they were able to get to the scene of the accident a very quickly they started to evacuate the people at least i believe at least eighty people were injured some of them were airlifted to the hospital and three have been confirmed dead but we are concerned that that number of people the ones that might grow as the day progresses they're all being cared for a lot of emergency services arrived at the scene very quickly where it promptly i believe one hundred and thirty police officers have cordoned off the area to help facilitate and i'm just getting word right now that there are four people. our concerns unfortunately came true and now it's so for people as a result the metro accident this morning at least ninety five new figures say that

at least ninety five people have been injured some of them heavily some of them not . so heavily they have been taking taken to hospital had a cough arrived at the scene of the accidental landed right there on because of the prospect which is also a very busy street here in moscow hundreds of thousands of people use that road every day to get to and from what work is i understand the traffic right now is why it's a heavy in the center of moscow and there just as services are still working on the scene and i believe they have also opened up. the medical help. medical help scene right there to help those who need help right away. so that's what we have up to this point but i'm a believer that because we can i go i teach in is to make medvedev he witnessed the

evacuation i understand we can cross live to him. yes i mean to marry dimitri what did you think. well i actually live in the area apart from the any one of the two stations which is involved in this accident and i was passing by bad station with them i guessed five to fifteen minutes after the incident actually happened because the reports came in five minutes before i was passing by and i was reading it while in the taxi on the internet and when when i was passing by part i did i saw something like within a dozen fire trucks and other emergency services as far as ambulances and achieve helicopters right on the patch right in front of the trial which is a very rare sight to see so i do believe me emergency services were employed very quickly but there was no smoke there were a lot of houses by of course curious standing by looking out for on the details they can get but i did not see any injured people being evacuated from the station

nor did i see any actually real people running out of the station so it looked pretty calm there was a bit of traffic caused by their souls which. which i'm up to much worse on a regular. room all right well thank you. a witness to be committed anchor he lived close close to the train station where the d. realm and occur just to remind you four people now have died in this meant it happened in western moscow during rush hour it's understood that there was a power cut which caused the train to then the rail something like eighty people were trapped in the trains the majority of those did suffer injuries of varying degrees as you can see from the live pictures here they are using ambulance to take many of them to hospital there around fight there are five hospitals in moscow that are able to deal with incidents like this they are being dealt with quickly but just to remind you this happened during rush hour several hours ago and people are

still trapped. we understand i've just been told the death toll has risen to five. the rescue operation is still ongoing it's been going on for just over sort of a couple of hours now this happened as i said during rush hour and we understand that five people have died as a result of this in the rescue operation continues because this train actually between two metro stations which does make it very difficult to actually get to the train that derailed and that is the process that is continuing at the moment these are live pictures you're looking at in the west the latest pictures sorry that of that we've received from the west of moscow as you can see many ambulances are there there is a problem to getting people to see hospitals on the road because roads are very busy in moscow and that's why many ambulance are being used as we can see here to

take people to hospital but that is the latest at the moment that we know five people have now died as a result of this d. realm and the derailment was cause we got. understand because of a power cut which caused the train to come off its tracks it came off between two metro stations which has made the rescue operation very difficult now i understand we can go live again to our correspondent dina could jennifer who's at the. research the scene for us. i spoke to you just a few moments ago but what more can you tell us. well again i can tell you that this scene of this x. and then swear i'm sensing the right time to do those good prospect which is very close at the end i said to center of moscow looks very kind yogic you can see right behind my back and that so the roads are being sealed off by police or so it's impossible to the to the road to the other side of that road and over there there is no white spot that is being used friends of mine or are those rescue helicopters

there are flying constantly over our hats and you can tell that the evacuation of those sept hassinger cimatron pass and those that were injured set out the moment under way now we know that doesn't so if people are reported to be a danger it's a due to the accident that occurred of this morning during a rush hour approximately ad age of thirty nine and we're talking about a dark blue line that is so very widely used especially during in rush hour and we know according to the latest reports coming from b.m. urgency crews that up to eighty press people up to eighty percent of those people and eighty people injured in the moscow matter accidental absolutely ask for a matter of going out even out the latest reports concerning those people were killed and that accidents so far five people are reported to be killers but there are fears out this number is actually going to increase as there are reports that

several dozens of people are still trapped and the tunnel between the user two stations we're talking about a part of why we have a station and us live and you believe our station while we know is that a number of mattress away guns how do you radios and not a single of those so weekends have overturned but that accidental force blocks of the tunnel between the two stations making the overall evacuation process rather difficult for rescue workers we know that. there are dozens of ambulances working on the scene lots of pretties evacuation teams so we try to and spoke we managed to speak to an eyewitness of the accident we can now have a listen to one person inside on what happened. the latest gets all of the carriage really of people's thoughts upon what i felt is

i'm sure the hole in your eye one good solid sense of the tunnel smoke's thought the right thing to get out in the group through doing so work well they helped us where you want to be. clear of course there's been a lot of panic within the mattress station and those people and even though we have witnessed our team working here at the scene and how doctors were deploying stretches into the tunnel basically every single moment really giving us a six sending us a signal on the scale of that accident that a lot of people actually were very seriously interested with and that accidents in the county evacuation buses and on the way here got lots of traffic here raising much the overall downtown of the city has stopped the transportation system is rather in a very difficult position at the moment now we've got lots of sirens going on here a pretty chaotic scene over here at the to the ski prospects. ok thank you maybe

you know. bringing us the latest there from the scene of the ideal right home and an accident that happened during rush hour and the death toll has now reached five will bring you more details as we get them. now in other news israel has accepted an egyptian proposal for a ceasefire to end a week of heavy fighting with hamas the militant group earlier rejected the plan as many as one hundred eighty five palestinians the majority of which are civilians have died since the israeli offensive began we'll go live now to harry fear using garza for us. thanks very much for joining us after israel's announcement is there hope hamas will about turn effectively and agree to a ceasefire. yes well hamas is puts a bureau spokes person rejected the proposal as not excepted while the militant

wing the alkis sam brigades has said that it will increase the intensity and ferocity of its attacks on israel just this morning two rockets fired from gaza into israel as the israeli army has said that it will cease its campaign on the gaza strip if to try and bait. into doing so now it's not clear whether in the back channels a master rectally with egypt is giving a less hard line position if hamas had accepted the proposal or does accept the proposal at this stage we're now in the eighth day of this conflict it would really signal a failure and a blow to the organization of masses not being able to cause israeli casualties why almost two hundred palestinians have been killed as you say vast majority of them civilians in this eight days of escalation at the same sime hamas would not have won an entire lifting of the siege on gaza which is one of its preconditions and one of the reasons it gave for rejecting this proposal now at the same time.

it's clear that the civilian toll here has been immense and if israel were to. see a ceasefire. if hamas wants except the ceasefire it really would be largely successful for israel its operation its eight day campaign would be successful israeli officials have said that it would win at least medium silence in times of rocket fire from gaza it would have won with this eight day campaign vast destruction of hamas rocket infrastructure capability it would have won in silence for that civilian population of the south of israel so it's clear here hamas would have failed in this war if it set to the cease fire at this stage as i say the civilian population here have felt

a very heavy toll over the last eight days hundreds wounded again most of those are civilians tens of thousands of palestinians have been tunney displaced in the last few days we've been traversing the gaza strip looking at these stories we visited one hospital which was among five medical facilities to have been damaged by israel it was the only rehabilitation hospital in the gaza strip. off for a week of fighting over two thousand two hundred sites have been targeted in gaza with missiles striking hundreds of homes as well as police stations civil administration buildings mosques and hospitals gaza's only rehabilitation hospital was among three took direct hits its director general explained how it became a target in the morning we were hit with the first missiles from those were the warning signs. of this hospital we're going to destroy

a second missiles hit and within fifteen minutes of third one hit a load or fifteen. point came from the rules about we are staying here to help support and protect and shield the patients but they are helpless. among the seventeen patients here only a couple were conscious and able to talk to us the rest comas they constitute some of the most severe medical cases inside gaza when the rockets hit was inside the clinic can you call us. then we'll go on but the lives of those less known as i don't know. is almost home ahmed. says so without a model. we're just one kilometer away from the border with israel and this is where the first news of struck. one of the theory is that israel wants to clear it off so it knows their leader is only in the war. since. the same day five o'clock missile that hit the hospital they called me we were. larger than the

first for the time. to go as a press release the hospital made an emergency appeal for support and got an unexpected response pro palestinian international activists sitting in as human shields inside the hospital is really doesn't care too much about palestinian lives there has to be somebody from the outside world somebody from the western world they believe their presence protects the hospital claiming that israel will take measures to make certain that foreigners are not among casualties my presence here is more valuable for. for the international community in the sense that visceral cannot hurt me striking the hospital represents a significant low point in this most recent israel hamas escalation the third of its kind in the last several years but if it's all civilian objects is

a grave breach of the geneva convention. and might amount to war crimes on the international force because have even. a greater level of protection. what for example with houses while we were filming at the hospital an airstrike took place just a couple of hundred meters from where we were standing we ran for cover it's a measure of how dangerous this place is that even vulnerable patients find themselves at risk. most of the casualties arriving in gaza's hospitals are still. on the health service is almost a breaking point with stuff having to work around the clock. to gaza. for turn to a breaking news story here in r.t. five people have been killed when three metro cars derailed in the moscow underground more than one hundred have been taken to hospital following the tragedy

during morning rush hour we can i get more from. the scene for us. you know we're understanding that the death toll has risen to five but can you run through what happened this morning. as a passenger of the moscow. to be injured today due to this accident that occurred at approximately eight thirty nine am we're talking about a dark blue line which is one of the busiest in the city and of course there were a lot of people in those weekends because it was the rush hour now what we know is that a number of them. said to you wait for the emergency order not a single of those away. but still due to the. tunnel between the two stations that's we're at the open this morning blocks and of course making a. rather difficult and we've been here for more than two hours.

a process is still underway dozens shelf ambulances working here we've got a number. there is a wide spot over there and the white spot as rescue workers platform. those. are constantly flying back and forth over our hands just standing up the signal of the overall scale of the occident we do know. the number of the dollar housing we're talking but by the deaths now due to the absent that occurred and the moscow metro but there are actually feel years that this number may increase as there are reports that dozens of people are still being trapped inside of some of the some of the match our training weekends and i guess we should process is underway and we're going to be here giving you our reporting on the sun how it goes

here in the downtown of moscow again and to the city prospects. thank you marina. over the latest there from the scene of the metro crash which has claimed five lives we can now go to an eyewitness of the tragedy i understand we have three on the line and can you tell us what happened. all. night. you. were. ok we were speaking to andrey there he was an eyewitness as you heard he was speaking in russian we are going to try and get a translation of that when we can we can go to rome on cost of row artie's correspondent who did speak to one person who was on the train. what did your

friend have to say. actually drew this the person you were just speaking with under a this is the person that i spoke with earlier this is the coworker of my wife who couldn't get a hold of him for a while but fortunately he's now back in the office he's safe he did have to he didn't have to buy someone you clothing before getting there because as he was a leaving the stranded metro the stranded wagons metro cars and he actually sustained some injuries as i understand he was helping. casualties all soul and what i was speaking to him initially it seemed that say his voice was full of adrenaline and he tried to help rescue services

as well and right now fortunately he is safe and sound and now another person that i spoke with earlier she said that so she saw the people coming out from the on the ground and. had to face the horror in their eyes and she said people's faces were just absolutely pale she said she saw quite a few gray hairs as well and. as people were coming out some were being treated right away right there at the scene at impromptu medical. hospital some people were airlifted to nearby hospitals as we have already reported five people have died and that number could still grow as over ninety five people were injured as a result of the accident in the moscow metro this morning all in all two hundred people have been evacuated from on the grounds and this particular line.

blueline it's one of the busiest in the russian capital it accommodates about eight hundred thousand people per day it's got twenty two stations and people obviously use that line to go to and from work now in terms of above ground transport wall there are there are problems there too as well moscow is full of traffic jams as a result of that this time of year usually a lot of people are on vacation and it's quite easy to drive through the russian capital but that's not the case today because of those key prospects is what i was passing there this morning one side going outside of moscow was completely blocked for traffic and on the other side going into into the center of moscow heavy traffic there as well. ok remember just looking at latest pictures that does

confirm what you say there's an awful lot of traffic there on. which runs by the metro stations that have been affected but is. correspondent giving us and. so a reminder of our breaking news here in r.t. it's now understood that five people have been killed as a result of the metro which took place we now understand it's up to ten people have died a death toll that we also fear could rise resulted after the durango mint of a metro train in western moscow during rush hour two hundred people had been evacuated we understand that many many of those are being treated for injuries that have been sustained but we now understand that ten people have died as a result of the moscow metro took place just

a few hours ago during rush hour. so you're watching the international will be back with more news short. you know george orwell once said the relative freedom which we enjoy depends on the public opinion the law is no protection governments make laws but whether they are carried out and police behave depends on the general in the country they have large number of people are interested in freedom of speech there will be freedom of speech even if the law forbids it. the interview.
