sixteen people are reported throughout this morning in the moscow match and among them the train driver is also on the list of those casualties now what we know is that approximately at eight thirty nine am in a very happy busy rush hour work here in moscow three match against a deal rails and not overturning but blocking the tunnel between the two stations in a poor set that resulted in the process being very difficult here for the rescue teams and now we know that there are even fears that some of the people are still being trapped inside underground center and the international not able to get inside and we also know that there were a very many people in our free single weekend of the natural train and not a single of them was actually rather you for such a sudden stop that was influenced by the train and of course that brought

a lot of panic would seen people coming out of the macho entrance pretty frightened sense here of not having some of their colleagues on because they lost them because of the sudden stop and we know the doctors are still working here at the scene trying to help those people some of them are in real critical condition we actually managed to speak to be a witness of the trial be crash to the crash survivor. it was clear the train derailed and the carriage in front of us was turned ninety degrees against the tracks a small fire broke out and we had to use two four extinguishers to put it out but we broke the door into a neighboring tunnel and some of those people who could move approached metro workers who led us to another evader and the surface there we met rescue teams in the us just to help get people out of the wreckage the elevator was very small and we used it to move the unconscious. a person who was standing next to me when the

tragedy happened hit his head there was a lot of blood and he blacked out some people broke the ribs one person broke their arm many panicked more i helped take the injured from the next carriage to the surface many were unconscious and had cuts on their legs it took us some twenty or thirty minutes to get the first injured to their service before the rescuers arrived where you are you need as it turned out a wife of that particular passenger at the manageress to be banned now managed to get to safety from b. underground spends a lot of time all hours here standing near this matter and friends are trying to get a hold of her husband and of course the woman was in panic and she was trapped she was really frightened that she would never see him again of the money to escape and now he would sell sea fleet but again there were maybe very seriously and really. rescue team has to work through here and we will guide those who are carried out rows godey's were carried out out from the underground from the tunnel rather than

being transported by the rescue helicopters to the nearest hospital where doctors are at the moment trying to save their lives. and we do know many dozens of people injured in this horrific incident what can you tell us about the. true many seriously injury while to be out completely honest over one us are at all a total left number of passengers that were on that train in a very busy hour are now in hospitals some of them are seriously critically entry and i would need to understand here that the crash happened very suddenly for those people or those passengers they were not at all be here for such a sad to stop the train and not basically they were flying across the way guns and that's why we've got so many traumas with god so maybe a registry trust promised some trouble as many reps are broken average single person a step. andrew chan we do not. and perfect perfect person are transports now

to the nearest hospital where adopters are trying to save their lives and there are reports of a number of crashes this may actually only be increased. course the more kind of everyone i was staying at this point is that why you get this happen do we have any theories or new facts up to this point that did give us some answers. brown while being obligation is of course under way you can see right behind my back but beyond violence and johnno the rescue drugs are still a problem she this scene the amount truth and trends so well that sounds us only one signal that the scale of that accident is really a huge wind and that's all we shall workers there those doctors are still working in down there in the tunnel of the matter where we are standing right now well in terms of the investigation it is indeed underway we do know according to the

reports that there has been that prowl were caught off registered on one of the lines between these two stations and that was pretty much the main reason why the train had to comb such a sudden stop and that of course resulted in so many casualties and of course you can see behind my back so many cars while the transportation problem pretty much the transfer to moscow has collapsed that due to this incident now we've got lots of buses coming in to how the other people are trying to get to their offices this is a tuesday afternoon to somehow try and. while we're here at the scene up and sit down so we're going to be bringing you old the latest so absolutely artie's media goes you know the live for us on the scene near the incident of this train derailment so for all of our viewers let's quickly recap what's been happening up to this point on the moscow metro sixteen people killed more than one hundred fifty wounded. rush hour power cut is believed to have caused the train's emergency

braking system to be activated ending with the carriages darrelle a more people believed to be trapped inside the train and there are fears the death toll will climb higher some eyewitnesses saying they waited for an hour in their wagons before breaking into the tunnel fifty ambulance crews are there and eight helicopters airlifting the most seriously injured to hospitals stay with us here on our to international for our latest updates about this tragedy in moscow. turning to some of the day's other news israel has accepted an egyptian proposal for a ceasefire to end a week of heavy fighting with hamas militant group earlier rejected the plan as many as one hundred eighty five palestinians the majority of whom are civilians died since the israeli offensive began harry fear reports forty from gaza. well israel has accepted the ceasefire at nine am local time while hamas has

rejected the ceasefire it's polk's person saying that it's not acceptable given that hamas has conditions have not been met for example the lifting of the blockade of gaza hamas is minute she will be alkis sound brigades has said that it will increase the intensity and for all city all of its strikes on israel this comes as the israeli army has said that it will says it will cease it strikes on gaza so far today if hamas had accepted the cease fire at this stage it would have struck a blow to the organization given it has not been able to exact real numbers of casualties on israel because of the success of israel's missile interception the iron dome system. almost two hundred palestinians have been killed most of those civilians israel's been able to strike hamas is rocket launching infrastructure and caused vast damage to the hamas organization here so there are those in israel who say that israel's operation has basically been vastly successful and israel if

hamas would accept a cease fire now would actually be willing for itself in the medium to silence in terms of rocket fire being launched from gaza against israel civilian population in the south of the country we visited one of gaza's specialist hospitals that's one of five medical facilities to have been damaged in this week's worth of violence. after 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 took direct hits its director general explained how it became a target in the morning we were hit with the first missiles from those. as a warning sign for us leave this hospital we're going to destroy

a second missiles hitting within fifteen minutes of third one hit another fifteen fourth one came from the rules but we are staying here to help support and protect 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. the lives of those less known as adamant. the hamas. we are just one kilometer away from the border with israel and this is what. struck . one of the theory is that israel wants to live up to it knows their leader is only in the water 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 palestinian international activists sitting in as human shields inside the hospital is really doesn't care too much about palestinian lives the 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. 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. it's all civilian. police

of the geneva convention. my tool of war crimes on the international force because even. a great little protection. 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 run 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 no incompetence on the health service is almost at breaking point with stuff having to walk around the clock carry fear otty gaza. u.k. as a new foreign secretary after william hague's resignation and in brazil the bric summit is looking to end the dominance of the i.m.f. and the world bank these stories and more after a short break. told

you my language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports for. the pollution you know i will leave that to the state department to comment on your latter point to say. the security of a car is on the job. no. thank you no more weasel words. when you need a direct question be prepared for a change when you have one you should be ready for a. freedom of speech. down the freedom to walk. dramas that's just being ignored. stories others use to notice. things is changing the world right now.

so the picture. from around the. globe. thanks for staying with us quarter past the hour meet philip hammond britain's new foreign secretary having served as defense minister for years he'll now be replacing william hague who's overnight resignation came as something of a surprise so who is philip hammond as a defense minister the british media called him the ultimate mr boring an accountant put in place to sort out the cash black hole that is the british military he also figured prominently in headlines what is with this hardline conservatism and apparent opposition to the rights of sexual minorities but many important but most importantly the publisher and political activist david lindsey

says he's even more ready for war than his predecessor hawkish very vocal indeed even compared to william hague however the comment is not a particularly good record in the sense that he strongly opposed equally strongly to a closed cuts in the defense budget but they happened anyway so it doesn't seem to make a difference but he is very very well and you can expect to see more of what william bennett couldn't quite do in the kind of damage that he did do in respect of libya the media made much ado about how many e.u. skeptic credentials he's said that he wouldn't vote to leave the european union if a vote to do so ever came along though political writer john white things hammond is no loose cannon but a man that the prime minister can expect to do as he's told. the best way to describe it is to use of my words and churchill who once described one of his political counterparts as a more this man with much to be modest about and full of harmony will be. think he

will challenge the ever common or any other big issues and acknowledge the issues and that's what the common in need says he goes forward to the general election of the william hague won't disappear from the spotlight though he'll stay on in parliament elections and next year as for his legacy he'll undoubtedly be remembered for leading the western call for war in syria the syrian regime's escalating use of indiscriminate and disproportionate full so against the people of syria. using tanks torture artillery scud missiles average tanks laying siege to desperate people and presiding over the creation of a humanitarian catastrophe but his hawkishness and didn't find many buyers william hague's most public failure was his inability to convince even the british parliament to vote for war on syria but that all tore but that all but torpedoed the u.s. plans for the country he also publicly called nato bombing campaign of libya a success despite the chaos and violence lawlessness afterward he also flew in the

face of growing euro skepticism in the u.k. becoming more open toward a new partnership that was to parties going underground told us what he thinks he is like as he will be good at me foreign policy issues that he was involved in could it be to do with the election strategy of the cameron government he certainly had a very controversial record when it came to anything from ukraine to syria we must remember that william hague found to be lying to hollywood about the ukrainian go institution strings of statements he's been making about russia creating a new cold war that. must warm damascus at all costs. no respite for the east ukrainian city of lugansk which is reportedly come under shelling again monday night after a whole day of bombardment. was. authorities and we've got reports out of these are the bodies even more of the fighting hasn't died down either with anti government forces ambushing

a military convoy the remains of which you can see here or he's really if an ocean is in the center of it all reporting from the guns. the situation here on the ground days very dramatic and tensions continue to escalate challis almost never stops we hear a two sounds over to read day and night and even right and now in the. tanks mortars and multiple rocket launchers known as get out or hail i use there and to government forces to say that the crane in troops are getting closer to the city center and they are now not further than ten to twenty kilometers from where we are now doctors are working twenty four seven and the city more full death toll is continuing to rise from both sides although it is very hard to say so far how many people were killed because the clashes are on to go in and casualties among the civilian population are also on a constant rise because residential areas are often. heat we

visited many scenes shortly after the shells landed there and the images we saw on the ground were really terrible some of them we cannot even show here meanwhile the government forces claim that they shot down the ukrainian transport airplane they have been saying that it could have been carrying weapons several crew members have been captured it happened not far from where we are now in lugansk region here confirms that it lost the airplane saying that it was fired at from the russian territory and with all this escalation here in ukraine obviously people continue to leave as you can see this is already almost empty and people continue to cross the border into neighboring russia and another airplane carrying ukrainian refugees lended earlier in russia and people say they do not know when or if they will be able to come back despite here the surance is a victory anti-government forces in the east have only stepped up their campaign or

to visit a recruiting station in donetsk and asked one volunteer what motivated him to sign up. to fascism must be stood up to our grandfathers. it is our duty we must these people didn't want to talk to us they didn't want to look at us they despise us. as for the balance of power there is little competition he has more troops than the self-defense forces four hundred thousand at all versus an estimated fifteen thousand the government also has prodigious air power ukraine's army has a wider away an array of military vehicles its tanks are superior as well the felt self defense forces had to restore a second world war tanks some even being used as public monuments. a new global economic order could be taking shape in the brazilian city of which is hosting the leaders of the world cup five developing will host after us in the world cup is now

hosting the brics summit the agenda of which is the establishment of a development bank that could challenge the international monetary fund and the i and the world bank. explains why the initiative could be a game changer the brakes will intensify their unity by finalizing the details on lifeline institutions the dust is the development bank this will rival the i.m.f. and the world bank and office support to the emerging economies brics member of the on to be ten billion dollars to begin with and eventually the bric bank will be one hundred billion the second is the stabilization fund which will support the five economic power as in case of global turbulence sino will contribute so to one billion dollars the russian resentment india will leaguers eighteen million. five that in the developing world now accounts will seventy five percent of the globe's currency. and entitle the brics countries hold around

a full point five trillion dollars in exports earnings independent china specialist andrew long thinks it's an example of brics nations accumulating power in the international stage. the world is shifting into a from a uni polar kind of low order to a more multipolar all the more inclusive perhaps all of the various. releases and the cons of regional kind of interests rather than be dictated by a one size fits all kind of formula. so i think that there is a role for the bric countries to play some experts have blamed the international monetary fund at least in part for the economic crisis in europe here are some reasons for that every i.m.f. loan comes with a bag of conditions that normally include job and pension cuts a wage freeze and an overhaul of labor laws spain that got one hundred billion dollars from the find has youth unemployment running at around fifty five percent with some a million people out of work there portugal still dealing with

a banking crisis and its g.d.p. is shrinking the greek economy is still reeling after two rounds of austerity it has the worst unemployment rates in the e.u. mr long says the i.m.f. and world bank will soon have to make way for a new player. the development bank calls this is set to libel the rule of the i.m.f. and the world. back and the so-called bretton woods institutions before the second world war and raising the so-called american washington consensus but the washington consensus based on completely paralyzed haitian doesn't always work . and just to recap again our breaking news story sixteen people killed when metro cars derailed in the russian capital this is the first video you're seeing from inside the tunnel the wreckage of one of the carriages it's smashed against the

tunnel wall and rescuers have been struggling to get people out this is the latest video we have for you some passengers are trapped by the sharp metal debris that's blocking their paths to safety people are scared and you can see that even getting out on a harmed is a tough task carriage walls torn apart all the electronics torn out of those walls train pieces scattered across the tunnel. will be continuing to follow that updating story for you throughout the day here on our to international but up next our special report music would stay with us. if there's anything we're afraid of in the modern western world is al qaeda or something like that it's words just words especially on the internet morning radio shock jock is the cumia from the opie and anthony show has been fired for

a massive twitter rant that he made against a woman who believe that the radio host was taking mocking photographs of her and got aggressive with them who may claim to just be taking pictures of time square now normally what you do outside of work shouldn't matter but with public personalities i could see how people want them to have good behavior all the time but the problem is that guys like him are put on the. airwaves to have bad behavior what does the sirius x.m. company expect from people they put on air to be wild and raunchy this is typical corporate boardroom mentality well we want morning gigi's to be really crazy and shocking but not too crazy and shocking hey i don't have a horse in this race i actually think the opie and anthony show is pretty dismal but when i see someone getting fired for wacky shock jock stuff that is in a way kind of part of his job well it just seems very hypocritical to me but that's just my opinion.

when i grew up. demeans a forest on. my playground. i knew it intimately. people say this for just quiet or. forests.

there's music in the forest. music is in the tree. when you cut down a street stream making a thousand each of us. all that means is that tree is seeing in a thousand different places.

greenpeace has been campaigning on forest issues around the planet for a long time and when we came into alaska we were willing to get arrested for cause . the option at this point is for folks to leave the longer you stay here the higher degree of law enforcement is available to third. of the.
