a ruthless reshuffle this hour we look at his time on the world stage and what his defense secretary replacement might have in store. for a good evening schieffer just joined us it's kevin owen here in moscow tonight is just past eleven pm on the news emanates from this city this hour two in the morning rush hour a moscow metro train derailed and at least twenty one people died in that accident those onboard took pictures in the immediate aftermath like the the train as it's full speed of seventy kilometers per hour when the emergency brakes activated then the first three carriages collided sending the train off the track more than one hundred sixty people have been injured over one hundred are still in hospital tonight the recovery operation which has lasted all day is now of. here.

do. you know. that you work. with us try to be unfolded just a few kilometers from the city center the damaged line indeed is one of the main railways in the water close financial center in some key government buildings too we did a culture never reports next. on one of the world's most havoline used transit systems the morning rush hour a routine for many of the eight million people who use this network our free day than just before nine am on the train traveling at its full speed of seventy kilometers per hour the emergency brakes activates. the train stopped abruptly

and the early blacked out then i realized there was suffocating i've never felt more scared in my life there was a horrible panic. the first three carriages salaam to geta forcing the train off the track no one in science was prepared for impact and everyone was shocked we were all in panic there was simply nothing left for him with first met her car just a huge dent. eyewitnesses recall being suddenly plunged into darkness and smoke appearing stunned passengers found themselves trapped eighty metres below ground in the matter as deep as section. so. i was thrown into the air there was blood on the floor heads bruised some people had broken ribs and one person's arm was injured all in all people were hysterical we started to get out we saw a door in the tunnel wall of men eventually broke the door and we saw workers constructing

a parallel tunnel they helped us to get out of. this scene here right after the accident looked completely chaotic rescue helicopters flying in the air and couple dozen ambulances police but mostly people looking scared and shocks after managing to escape from the underground the victims say emergency teams were there in less than twenty minutes past people made their way to safety through the dark tunnels rescuers who worked to reach those still trapped within the wreckage just. everyone was helping each other i wouldn't say that at that time anybody was panicking but we tried to carry those injured really gently carrying them on our backs and that point everything was good. as it turned quite a long time down there when we got to the elevator it was being used to evacuate the injured people first those who could walk and then those who structures it wasn't until later that someone showed us a stairway which you had to climb ourselves. more than eleven hundred people were

evacuated from the crash site over one hundred hospitalized doesn't separate actually ill so far the authorities say a sudden failure in the alec tricity supply as what probably caused the brakes to activate so abruptly it will take at least two days to restore services on this busy commuter line and it will take a longer to get an answer as to how a section of railway just a decade old could be the scene of such a deadly accident my gosh no r.t. moscow. you can see the mess on the train especially at the front nonetheless people who are on the train managed to post on twitter one eyewitnesses said a powerful impact threw him to the other end of the carriage another person describes what he saw inside one of the carriages obviously lots of blood and injured people but was going to a tweet that came through saying that one train carriage was almost ripped into two

pieces you can imagine that judging by the pictures we've seen another says that passengers had to use the bare hands to try to break free from the wreckage blogger's described the panic after the impact and how many passengers had suffered head wounds. if you keep across the latest developments surrounding the accident on our twitter feed also on our website r.t. dot com am with me kevin o. in throughout the evening here from moscow. israel has vowed to intensify its military offensive against gaza choose the cease fire plan proposed by egypt's failed as hamas continued firing rockets despite israel suspending its air strikes israel is also sustained its first fatality when a man died after an airstrike how he fears in gaza for r.t. . israel whole to 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 massa's

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. by now in the israeli context israel has in the last several several days received rocket fire not just from gaza but also from lebanon egypt 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 have 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 but we are staying here to help support and protect and shield the patients but there are helpless among the seventeen patients here only a couple were conscious and. well to talk to us the rest are in comas they constitute some of the most severe medical cases inside gaza when the rockets hit was inside the clinic can you call on. the lives of those

less known as adamant that was almost home ahmed. with 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 are on you know toward the palestinians. the same day five o'clock on the missile that hit the hospital they called me we were headed. 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 so it 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 this world 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 bloody attacks on 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 hells it's 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 harry fear marty gasser. was the picture of the mean time elsewhere palestinians living in israeli occupied territories in the west bank of venting their anger going head to head with israeli defense forces. saying from bethlehem the i.d.f. backed up by vehicles disperse crowds of palestinians there they used tear gas and stun grenades to quote hundreds of people who gathered in bethlehem in the west bank to protest against the israeli military operation in gaza there are reports too that several people were injured during that rally. a lot to come over to stay with me reporting from east to crane shortly here on r.t. international. which is still reeling under kiev's artillery bombardment with constant shelling turning once bustling cities of the

ghost towns also had to we're looking at whether afghanistan's security situation is spiraling out of control where another deadly attack on civilians there will gauge what that was about where it could be heading. busy news night next though a multi-billion dollar financial alliance is being forged in the brazilian city of four to laser the world's top five emerging nations known as brics a sort of agreement to create a rival to the i.m.f. and the world bank big news let's go to brazil paul scott's there it's quite an undertaking isn't it paul. yes well the the main showpiece of ends of the the today bricks are made here in brazil is the signing off of this new development bank the bricks development bank as it's going to be known and what that deal has now be confirmed as you say is seen as an alternative in a rival to the international monetary fund into the world bank in the five emerging

economies of course brazil russia india china and south africa are hoping that this new bank will act as a rival party the i.m.f. and the world bank and end the global dominance of the u.s. dollar now initially each country will put in ten billion. ten billion us dollars it will equate to fifty billion the hope is that that will later rise to one hundred billion in the money will be spent on infrastructure and development projects in emerging economies now also what has been announced is. a fund is well worth one hundred billion that will protect these emerging economies protect the five nations from any potential global our future financial crisis so what's happening here in brics in twenty fourteen at this summit is that the five emerging economies really are trying to break away from the dependency of the u.s. dollar or the well if you look at the facts and figures you can see maybe why the i.m.f. the world bank not globally popular with everyone that financial crisis is that

struck the world in two thousand and eight it's aftershocks still being felt in europe today their country the thought they'd found a savior in the form of via meth loans and criticizing the lender for holding them captive because of it according to the i.m.f. bailout borrowing country is going to slash jobs slash pensions slash wages even change laws all on the lenders women's life you go to a bank and get a loan spain for example forced around a billion people out of work more than half of the country's young people are still unemployed portugal still dealing with the banking crisis and sinking g.d.p. and greece after six years of recession is still got the worst unemployment rate in the e.u. china expert underlying says all this that makes the brics an alternative attractive place to be. the world of shifting into a from a uni polar kind of world order to a more multipolar world order more inclusive perhaps of the various.

ethnic religious and a kind 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. exactly level fifteen year moscow tonight after the break david cameron's take that accies cabinet there are some big changes will tell you about coming right up.

speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic in school here on. reporting from the world talks about seventy ip interviews intriguing story for you. to find out more visit arabic. words foreign secretaries quitting the job is part of the problem is his cabinet purge that saying a swathe of changes at the top would have mags somewhat surprised resignation after four years in the post will therefore be replaced by former defense secretary philip hammond one of the most vocal proponents of western military operations

especially when it came to intervention in syria the syrian regime's escalating use of indiscriminate and disproportionate full so against the people of syria. using tanks told tillery scud missiles ever tax laying siege to desperate people and presiding over the creation of a humanitarian. castra feet but failed to convince parliament to vote vote for an attack on syria then you may recall which of course we can is public standing then in an embarrassing defeat it was westminster m.p.'s told hague of the promise to cool it down hague should have told david cameron in fact to retreat on the syrian issue before the vote is how the media saw it after the debate some such as the guardian newspaper even claim that hague should have resigned after failing to judge the political mood the public mood british world affairs journalist needle club told treasurer about hague's legacy and what the new foreign secretary could mean for the country next. there's no doubt that william hague here it is for

a secretary and pretty disastrous for britain he was a strong supporter of the iraq war two thousand and three when he was in opposition and in two thousand and eleven he took her into war against libya now on top of that he's done all he can in the last three years to try and get military intervention against syria and so i think that william hague's times foreign 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 it's neo conservatives it's that list got to change really all it's 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 hague well except for those reasons. that your skepticism is an interesting point because i think the government is very worried about the threats and you can find a spot in cheek very very well in the european elections as they did after all they line really i thought it would be a good man to do this i think that's one of the main reasons he's been promoted to take all your skeptic life because of course the general election he is a great he's only just a year away now so i said so i think it's not so much to spots all syria or all the middle east generally i think it's me he's much more of a hardcore the william hague was and i think that's probably why david cameron has decided to promote it. and while public attention is distracted by david cameron's hirings and firings we're talking about there the p.m.'s also still playing away it's stepping up state surveillance a resurrected law on data recording is to go before parliament despite calls from

human rights campaigners about it the bill comes following the european court of justice is decision to recognize data gathering by intelligence services as impinging on human rights following that ruling mobile phones companies got ready to delete the data they collected something the u.k. government didn't want to hear to secure a bit of a closer look at the new legislation for a minute critics fear the new law generally will expand surveillance powers time the place the number called the number dialed would all be kept by a mobile operators plus the conversation itself crucially could be recorded to an internet service providers would monitor and record the pages their clients visited all this information will be stored for up to twelve months if the plan goes through and the prime minister is backing it with money to pledging an extra eight hundred million pounds for monitoring operations artie's polly boy has got an update from westminster. well this laura zipping through parliament with broadband like speed it's got cross party support which means that it's paying is more or

less a foregone conclusion which is probably why you can see on the pictures very few m.p.'s in support of the law even turned up to debate it the home secretary says that there is nothing to worry about that the law would simply be like maintaining the status quo and if we want to pass the law well then it would make the work of the police and the intelligence services much more difficult and it would be harder for them to catch terrorists and criminals despite her assurances there's been a lot of vocal opposition from a minority that turned up to debate the law in the commons today one backbencher said that the house shouldn't be microwaving legislation in this way under what he called a convected emergency so a lot of questions about the very rushed time frame and the lack of scrutiny towards a lot that could affect the civil liberties of each and every person in the country one more fundamental issue that's been questioned on

a number of occasions today is about the european court of justice and if they've ruled back in april that data retention is a breach of human rights and if it's illegal well then why is the british government rushing through this regulation that would be in breach of that ruling. bullyboy because they're more on the other more of these stories to find more bit of attorney new arms race that may be brewing suborning the plan to reopen a nuclear reprocessing plant wittingly push it smooths to boost their own atomic arsenals. we'll tell you we splurged twenty billion pounds to buy britain's most exposed suv who lives through that keyhole. serious mud is no two east of you crowed this is the turn of. the. net sq or what's left of it residents say they were bombed by the ukrainian air force early on tuesday morning

a block of flats collapsed as the result of the attack there at least eleven people were killed including an elderly couple but it's feared more people buried under that rubble and the neighboring lugansk region has been shelled by the ukrainian army for several days now in the most recent attack a residential area was targeted one shell landed on the roof of a nine story building while several others it's a school time killing a guard self-defense activists say eighteen people have been killed in the past three days our correspondent is in advance. the situation here on the ground is very dramatic and tensions continue to escalate shelling almost never stops we hear a sound over to read day and night and even right and now in. tanks mortars and multiple rocket launchers known as good art 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 mormons are 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 rotten. 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 this 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. from or from the. other international news headlines now iraqi troops have launched a number of friends who have to try to retake the city to create which was taken by insurgents in june the army operation to push militants from the islamic state

other to create began to weeks ago became bogged down south of the city the bloody uprising spurred by the islamic states already left thousands with most controlling vast areas of iraq. a taliban suicide bomber in afghanistan's eastern practical problems has killed nearly ninety people and it follows another deadly attack in the capital kabul two which left two presidential media staff dead paktika bombing targeted a busy market during rush hour officials so most of the victims they were women and children political analysts course. told me this latest assault raises a big question mark then over afghanistan's security future. this is quite a worrying attack in a province which has been relatively peaceful up until know where the afghan security forces are going to go in upper hand and it comes at a very bad time where the americans are desperately trying to broker a deal between the two rival presidential candidates do a dog whose claim he's been cheated for victory by way action flaws and ashraf ghani whose queen is the victim and that deal already comes unstuck and this will

just fuel the concerns that really come to american and nato forces waiter on this year the afghans are not a toll on top of the security situation and indeed the country can put polarizing or ethnic winds which is what's happening with the two camps of the two rival presidential candidates you'd think that an act of heroism during a blood stained world war would get quick recognition not a wait of seventy years next them serve speed to meet some of the hundreds of courageous british veterans who've only just been officially thanked for their bravery. well it's been a long time coming within two years since russia officially requested permission from the u.k. government to award u.k. veterans of the prestigious medal now originally that request was denied to pay rules about acceptance of florida was that after a long battle from campaign is from people from both sides in russia and the u.k.
