a ruthless reshuffle we look at this time of the world stage and what his defense secretary replacement might have in store. with you very good evening it's nine pm here in moscow me starting again this hour with that breaking news that in the morning rush hour this morning a moscow metro train derailed at least twenty one people are dead tonight those on board took pictures of the immediate aftermath as you can see the train was at its full speed of seventy kilometers an hour when the emergency brakes activated then the first three carriages collided sending the train off the track more than one hundred sixty people are injured over one hundred are still in hospital two bodies are still trapped in the wreckage. well you know we hear you know. you.

really think. you. know. i'm. a renda seems you can see in the bottom of the tunnel there will not try to be just a few kilometers from the center of the city the damage line indeed is one of the main railways into most cars financial center and some key government buildings a correspondent roman culture of. the station where this happened in victory in the west the company let's cut shot with him now trying get the latest high the roman as any mole emerged throughout the day about what went so terribly wrong here in the morning russia. shore kevin wall let me give you the self the latest news for our right now apparently the rescue workers are still trying to on block

one body on the casualty that's the results of an accident this morning the rescue service is a still working at the scene here behind me right now in terms of what actually happened well it was indeed a rush hour we are only a few kilometers away from the center of moscow which is that way course right behind me is the victory of bark a place frequented by tourists or russian and for in a like this particular railway link kids so one of the busiest in moscow it's got sets when t. metrolink i'm sorry it's got said twenty two station accommodates about eight hundred thousand passengers per day and the time of the crash was just before nine o'clock in the morning obviously the busiest time it's the rush hour and as soon as the tragedy occurred people were evacuated. twelve hundred people were brought

out from on the ground people before services arrived people were trying to help themselves outside and some of them were rushed to the hospital right away so let's hear from one of the survivors who was taken to one of the medical facilities here in moscow. that is at the margin your presidential the train abruptly stopped says i need a blacked out time and then i realized i was suffocating little me up i've never felt more scared in my life it was a horrible and i don't know there was hardly anything left of the front carriage and just a big dent somebody then opened the door and we got out of the. role and just before we carried on just want to make this clear no use saying we were going into the top of the program is saying two was still trapped we think it's only one boldy left and. that's correct just one body of remains blocked in the wreckage on the ground and by the way this is one of the deepest stations here in moscow so obviously it is taken some time for the services to get there and i've

seen people going down there with the jaws of life they go into op and down cell they are the latest that i know is that they're still trying to recover that one body of a casualty and of the one hundred sixty one injured what do we know about them in the state. while they were taken to fourteen hospitals around the russian capital the number is correct into a little bit over one hundred sixty and all of those one hundred sixty forty two people are in critical conditions they are in the emergency rooms at the moment so the doctors are trying to do everything possible and impossible to save their lives so that suggests all of that were given our viewers right now it's ones who want people might say is still a good role and we had the body count to twenty four up for a while and that with all that would be good. and obviously then another person

died in the hospital and we're waiting for a confirmations on the of that as well people like i said initially twelve hundred had been evacuated so they merges the services they made impromptu hospitals are right around the accident area both at the park a better station and its people are station as well and people were initially trying to help themselves out before the services could arrive so let's hear from some of the eyewitnesses who were in the train wreck right now you know what would you thought i was inside the first carriage a sudden boom knocked me over the lights went out everyone huddled together. just. you know it was clear the train derailed and the carriage in front of us was turned ninety degrees against drax a small fire broke out and we had to use two fire extinguishers to put it out 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. and the last person we just heard from his name

is andre he is actually very good acquaintance of mine and as i heard the tragedy happening this morning it gave him a call couldn't get a hold of him then he called me back had a lot of adrenaline pumping out through his voice and he said that's he helped some passengers he helps to evacuate some people as he came out from the on the ground cue was completely barefoot say his a clothing was ripped apart i couldn't get a hold of him after that so i thought perhaps you know his injuries were far worse and he was just a shell but thankfully he was later able to give us an interview and his absolute defined right now you know thoughts of course so much with the friends family loved ones everyone who's a who's perished there this morning but even at this early stage as one body still down there of course the authorities are still trying to work out what went wrong we're hearing about brakes as anymore all that come out throughout the day. while the authorities are working on three bird. right now but one thing that

everybody thought of far right away is the fact that it was a terrorist attack because moscow metro system has been known to become targets of terrorist attacks so by the third is a brushing away that version completely they said it was technical so the three versions that working on right now is number one is they're building another metro line here very close to here and they have installed a brand new tracks which just five days ago and it is not thinking it could be a faulty sole they're working on the version version number two is the actual letter railway in which metro trains travel they say that could have been faulty that might it might be an indian to intention indentation underneath and that was something that caused the train to derail it was traveling at seventy kilometers per hour so it's a thirty train with a bunch of people on it so the railways faulty was bound to come off finds

a version number three is that one of the train cars was faulty it wasn't supposed to come out at all so all those other three main versions right now initially it is said that it could have been something with a false fire alarm that triggered a power surge but most coal energy companies said that they have not registered any power surges in moscow and in particular in this area. ok roland thanks for the update for now as you were told to look at the pictures of you showed of a single emergency services i'm to deal with completely saw. those those couple of courage is right at the back of the tunnel thank you for the update for now between but she later throughout the course of the repression it will rose talking about someone he personally knew the you know it's a small world his what some of the people on the train post on twitter as well one night when an eyewitness says a powerful threw him to the other end of the carriage you can see the force. there the end of that and all of those pictures another person described what he saw

inside one of the carriages obviously lots of blood lots of injured people this tweet coming up here it says that one train carriage was almost ripped into two pieces another says the passengers had to use their bare hands to try to break free from the wreckage i'm sure will be some thoughts with the investigators look into this further about why that was the case bloggers also describe the panic after the impact and how many passengers had suffered head wounds you can follow the latest developments surrounding this awful acts on this morning in the rush hour on a twitter feed and on our web site r.t. dot com and of course here through the course of the evening as well with me kevin and. israel has resumed its military offensive against garza just several hours after unilaterally agreeing to a cease fire the deescalation plan proposed by age it was initially supported by the israeli government but then rejected by hamas militants who continued firing rockets israel sustained its first casualty to now when a man died following an airstrike harry feared in gaza for r.t.

. israel halted its operation on gaza at nine am local time to see if hamas would take the opportunity and that didn't happen of a fifty rockets were fired today from gaza into israel at the same time how masses military wing has said that the conditions for it to stop its campaign on israel have not been met they include for example the full lifting of the siege on gaza so israel has now resumed its operation and that includes the possibility of a ground invasion we've heard reports of bombings from the north to the south of the gaza strip just a while ago near our accommodation in west gaza city we heard. near by now on the israeli context israel has in the last several several days received rocket fire not just from gaza but also from lebanon egypt's sinai and also syria and in israel south the population that a civilian population have indeed by to been terrorized of course the civilian

population in gaza at least one hundred civilians have been killed here we've been meeting with civilians stuck inside one of gaza's main hospitals. 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 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 for us live this hospital we're going to destroy a second missiles hitting within fifteen minutes of third one hundred fifty fourth one came from the rules of what 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. well 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. on. the lives of those less known as adamant that was almost home ahmed. says so without the model. we're just one kilometer away from the border with israel and this is where the first news struck. one of the theory is that israel wants to clear it off so it knows their leaders on you know the war by the palestinians. the same day at five o'clock on the 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 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 this real 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.

for example with houses while we were. coming 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 garza's hospitals are still known competence and the health service is almost at breaking point with staff having to work around the clock for harry fear marty gasser. in the meantime palestinians living in israeli occupied territories in the west bank are venting their anger going head to head with israeli defense forces. i.d.f. backed up by armored vehicles in return dispersed crowds of palestinians they used tear gas and stun grenades to quell hundreds of people who gathered in bethlehem in the west bank to protest against the israeli military occupation in gaza there are reports to the several people injured during that rally. personally evening here in moscow thanks for your company hoping to stay with me to release the next few

minutes we're telling about the mass hirings and firings in britain's government where the promise is even cold some of his closest friends and allies is coming up . interview.

with. the. choose to. choose the stories that him. choose. to. britain's foreign secretary. of the premises cabinet purchasing a sway the changes at the top william hague's somewhat surprised resignation after four years in the post and replaced by former defense secretary philip hammond take was one of the most vocal proponents of. intervention in syria. the syrian regime's escalating use of indiscriminate and disproportionate force against the people of syria. using tanks torture artillery scud missiles air

attacks laying siege to desperate people and presiding over the creation of a humanitarian catastrophe but back then the hague failed to convince parliament to vote for an attack on syria which in turn we can does public standing in embarrassing defeat westminster and peace told haganah prime minister cool it down hague should have told david cameron to retreat on the syrian issue before the vote that some of the media saw it after the debate some such as the guardian newspaper claimed that haig should have resigned after failing to judge the political and public mood british world affairs journalist neil clark told my friends are about hague's legacy and what the new foreign secretary could now mean for the country. there's no doubt that william hague here it is for secretaries in pretty disastrous for britain he was a strong supporter of the iraq war two thousand and three when he was in opposition in two thousand and eleven he took her into war against libya now troubled that

he's done all he can in the last three years to try and get military intervention against syria and so i think the time was for a secretary has been disastrous for britain i think he should have resigned last summer when he failed to get parliament to support war against syria that's the time he should have gone but the sad thing is of course is that yes he's going but he's being replaced by a man who's probably just as hawkish but it happened and so this isn't really about individuals it's about government policy which is hawkish neo conservative a status quo to change really wants take a look at the new man in the job philip hammond he was defense secretary and came into politics from the business world he's known for hard line conservative views as you've stated he's a euro skeptic and he has said that he would vote to leave the e.u. if there was a referendum hammond is also an outspoken opponent of same sex marriage and a supporter of big spending on the military so why in your opinion do you think he

was chosen to replace a well accepted for those reasons. your skepticism is an interesting point because i think this government is right worried about the threats who. get very very well in the european elections as they can after a hard line ready if it has to be a good man to do this i think that's one of the main reasons he's been promoted to take a whole year skeptic line because of course the general election here in britain is only just a year away now so i said so i think it's not so much to spock's all syria or all the middle east generally i think it's mealy he's much more of a hard core the william hague was and i think that's probably why david cameron has decided to promote it. so as public attention is destructive to david cameron's hiring of firings the pm still nonetheless blowing away at stepping up states of violence we can report a resurrected law on data recording is to go before parliament despite calls from human rights campaigners this bill comes following the european court of justice his decision to recognize data gathering by intelligence services as impinging on human rights. mobile phone companies got ready to delete all the data that they'd

collected something u.k. government didn't want to have but let's take a closer look at this new legislation for a minute for gets more comment on it critics fear the new law will expand the surveillance powers basically the time the place the number dialed will be kept by mobile operators plus the conversation itself could be taped could be recorded internet service providers would monitor and record the pages their clients visited this information could be stored for up to a year twelve months the promises alleging an extra eight hundred million pounds for monitoring operations so it appears to have a lot of backing here let's go live to london artie's polly boyd is ready to give us an update other polly how is it progressing through westminster than everyone seems to think it's going to go through and go through quickly. well it's zipping through parliament at broadband like speed you could say and it's got cross party support which means that its rubber stamping is more or less a foregone conclusion which is probably why you can see on the pictures from the

house of commons a very few m.p.'s in support of the law even turned up to debate it but the home secretary says that there is nothing to worry about with the new legislation it would simply be maintaining the status quo in fact to resist said that we should be worried if the law isn't passed because it would affect the way in which the police and intelligence agencies can fight crime and fight terrorism and it would make their job much more difficult but despite her assurances there was some very vocal opposition to the new regulation in the commons today one backbenchers said that the house shouldn't be microwaving legislation in this way he called a convected emergency so a lot of questions about the very rushed time frame of the new law that's being pushed through parliament and sort of the lack of scrutiny towards something that could affect the civil liberties of each and every person in this country and of

course a fundamental issue that's been raised a number of times in the commons today is if the human if the european court of justice has deemed that data retention is a breach of human rights and that it's illegal well then why is the british government rushing through legislation that would be in breach of that ruling now one thing that the government is hoping will pacify the opponents asking those questions is the so-called sunset clause which means that the law will automatically expire at the end of twenty sixteen if it's passed which point m.p.'s will have to then reexamine it all over again and that sunset clause could even be much closer much shorter in time it could be limited to something like say. months but the reading of this emergency bill is taking place against the backdrop of david cameron's cabinet reshuffle the biggest one since two thousand and ten so rather than there being

a big public debate about the balance of civil liberties and security we've got a lot of headlines today about ministers and a new position. london for no thank you. to see ukraine next and this is the turn of. donetsk residents say they were bombed by the ukrainian air force early on tuesday morning. a block of flats collapsed as a result of that attack at least eleven people were killed including an elderly couple but it's fear more people are buried under that rubble the neighboring lugansk region two has been shelled by the ukrainian army for several days now in the most recent of their residential area was targeted one shell landed on the roof of a nine story building well several of those it is true killing and going so to friends . have been killed in the last three days. the situation here on the ground days very dramatic and tensions continue to escalate challis

almost never stops we hear a tear that sounds over to read day and night and even right and now in the burbs tanks mortars and multiple rocket launchers known as all hail i used 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 civilians 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 and with all these escalation here in eastern ukraine obviously people continue to leave and

they do not know when or if they will be able to come back. this is all to international news thirty four minutes from. if there's anything we're afraid of in the modern western world isn't al qaeda or aids or something like that it's words just words especially on the internet morning radio shock jock the cumia from the opie and anthony show has been fired for a massive twitter rant that he made against a woman who believed 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 can 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 when 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. dramas that can't be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. faces change the world right now. to picture a days. on to and from our groups to. look

to. me. though there are coming to you from new york first up we all know that actions have consequences but u.s. financial regulators they don't really seem to care not that much so huge u.s. fines and foreign banks are having some unintended consequences what will they do where will they go we look into it coming up then dr barry eichengreen is on the show today dr ivan greene has done considerable research on the history and operation of the international monetary and financial system and he sat down with water earlier today to discuss the validity of a country probably regulatory and foreign dubious and in today's big deal edward earth and i are discussing the annual brick summit held in brazil right now sorry

no more soccer for your buck we're finding out what this means for the emerging markets the brics the means it's all start right now. now our lead story today actions and consequences massive fines placed on foreign banks by the united states or garnering a lot of pushback from the international banking community now this comes following the nine billion dollar fine that french bank b.m.p. perry boss has agreed to pay the u.s. government after conducting billions of dollars worth of business with soon.
