just i want to hear also when i was covering i mean this is our kids international our weekly program the round up of the latest headlines today on the stories that shape the week but we start with breaking news thirty seven now known to have been killed in a huge fire at a retail and leisure complex in the russian city today it's feared that number is going to rise as well as around seventy still said to be missing including dozens of children.

the scenes we saw earlier on the dan hawkins have been across this all evening the figures and especially seen some of the tweets coming are really bad reading but let's stick with what we know at the moment and what do we know take us through the day was happened here well it's been a harrowing evening of course for the friends and families of those particularly still unaccounted for this fire began on the fourth full of the top floor of a shopping center in that south central city of came over we understand thirty seven people have been confirmed dead by the services many more in hospital many of them in a critical condition of course sixty nine are still unaccounted for tragically the majority forty of those are children aged between two and thirteen they're believed to be in a cinema at the time of the fire and now we've had some very very harrowing eyewitness

accounts of what went on inside black smoke billowing through the corridors through the windows people trying to escape jumping out of the windows as well just to give you an idea of the sheer panic and terror that must have been going through as people's minds we do have some eyewitness accounts of the panic that ensued as that fire spread through the building let's take a listen to some of those eyewitness accounts. just goes to that. it's unusual for this to do. this when you. do things or to do. thank you we've been. doing this but. i knew i didn't want to see you but you sent is a big place the such an intense fire by the looks of it you can see the toxic smoke and at the top down and people trying to make as you see every time what the heck's happening around them interesting i'm not hearing fire alarms there and that's done

for the investigators isn't it to talk about eventually when they try to recover the bodies here is the fire out at the moment by the the fire began in the early afternoon and raged for for many hours it took a while to get an under control we understand that firefighters couldn't actually reach the top level because of the sheer temperature of their schooling temperatures walls and floors melting and we understand the fire is contained it is under control so now it's very much a recovery operation to try to find anybody still trapped under collapsed the collapsed roof there. we we we do know also that the cause has been speculated upon two theories prominent right now although it's preemptive to say for certain you know one of the causes being fought electrical wiring the other one being some sort of mis up with a lighter perhaps an accident there and flammable. twelve use of course in publix places here in russia smoking would be quite annoyed when word child of someone

that was in the limelight but they don't know what's happened here there's going to be a lot of questions that are certainly being asked here why it didn't go off why fire exits were clearly marked why there was such panic to get out we do have another eyewitness account a woman who spoke to us who told us what happened in the cinema particularly as that fire. tore through the building. bleated you can't instead of complicit politicos insist the chose not to use it to designing our music means nothing to leave to move it in the new clues from which to cheer when you put a lid. on the issue with what is behind all clear after the peculiar move that you could. do if you could see the human children that your. culture you call the. movie didn't visit. those songs to. begin with all digital computers old local radio looks

a little bit worried too much which in your book you. very difficult of course for the families of friends of those children still tragically unaccounted for it's going to be a long life and obviously we can just hope that as many as possible of those are accounted for perhaps in hospitals are small charts but asked they'll follow the life and i will of course have the updates for you as that investigation carries on into exactly what happened yeah indeed then hawkins for now thank you they've been reports of numerous safety breaches in the fire to just coming out details still sketchy of course although it's unclear that's led many to compare the situation to the deadly tragedy you may recall in that russian nightclub back in two thousand and nine the lame horse club in the city of perm burned down to the ground on in december the fifth of that year pyrotechnic show of the time caused the plastic ceiling there to catch fire one hundred fifty six people died many more were injured the boss about my club was eventually convicted and sent to prison.

other news happening tonight thousands strong rally in barcelona in support of the former cattle and president who was arrested earlier in germany has erupted into clashes with police check these pictures i. i. i. offices in riot gear trying to disperse the crowds using batons having earlier called for the gathering to be called off it's understood the skirmishes left fifty two injured three people were arrested there are protesters one hundred two and what they call a crackdown on key figures behind the spanish legions push for independence.

we decided to sack the president vice president and other high ranking officials in the council on government. but oppose capital our leader was detained while crossing from denmark into germany where he's now in custody fled spain after last october's referendum which of

course madrid ruled illegal with more on the arrest is said he shares sethi. the former president colors pollution man has been detained in germany he's wanted in spain on charges of sedition and rebellion and was held off to crossing the border from denmark on his way to belgium now german police have confirmed his arrest and he said to be in a local police station awaiting his legal team since this day pushing on his being on a visit to helsinki university in finland to give a lecture that on his way back to belgium jim authorities arrested him off to spain reissued his arrest warrants but his lawyer tweeted that he was returning to belgium to be of course at the disposal of the belgian justice system that he's been living in self-imposed exile in belgium that's after leading the pro independence referendum last year which was deemed illegal by the spanish authorities this was a vote that cools tensions across the region with accusations of police violence as well now tensions have still been running high in the region with rallies taking place from time to time and calls for the release of other political prisoners as

well as the return of colors could face up to thirty years in prison in spain and the spanish courts have already signed documents for extradition reiterating some of the so one spanish a store a little just spoke to told us poor judgment is likely to be given a lengthy prison sentence back in spain. well he was probably going to be put in room for three bunol in the. supreme court and to the chances to get to. a very high sentence and to be guilty of sedition and rebellion why he actually went to brussels was sensually because there's no suggesting this is a rebellion crime even in the belgian. legislation allows up to three months to take the city in an exhibition so catalyst was the man decided to refuse the six looks going to be the case then the german authorities

would have to three months to to extradite him to take on the extradition case so it may take quite a long time that. france was struck by terrorism again on friday when a gunman hijacked a car and took off so here's a supermarket in a small southern town three people died that day while the fourth succumbed to his injuries on saturday the attacker pledged allegiance to islamic state and was eventually shot dead by special forces. in the movie i went shopping with my wife and sister in law after some time we had an explosion well several. i saw

a man lying on the floor and another person who was very agitated would hang around in one hand and a knife in the other and yelling allah akbar for years. after that i took my wife and my sister in law and some customers nearby and we went to look for shelter i put them in a butcher's fridge closed from the inside. it's peaceful here where you see the like any out there he was very kind very sociable i do orrible he overeats weeks to the children and he's a terrorist. the terrorist has been identified he was killed during his solo investigation will have to answer some important questions when and how was he radicalized and how and when did he procure the weapon. we have for several years paid with our blood to know the terrorist menace. among those who died was police officer. he

swapped places with a female hostage in fact he left a mobile phone switched on for the authority to listen to when special forces heard the gunshots they them stormed the place in the found been wounded he subsequently died in hospital on saturday morning he's been held a national hero across france and beyond now let's look at the track record of the past year or so in the past twelve months alone have been repeated terror attacks and water temps in france so start with february twenty seventh and then a man attempted to enter the move museum in paris with a machete while her attacker furthermore stopped at all the airport you may recall just a month later moving on a police officer was shot dead last april on the shelves of leisure and last october two young women were stabbed to death at a railway station in marcell i'm happy reading isn't it former british intelligence officer annie muschamp told us back up to date now the fact that this gunman was under police surveillance at the time exposes surely wider failures it's part of

the passing that we're seeing emerging across europe over the last few years of people carrying out these low tech type of attacks with high. grades who are of course on the radar of at least at least if not indeed of the intelligence agencies but for some reason they're not being. watched carefully enough they're not being monitored carefully enough they were being followed around. and they're allowed to get more as it tries to carry out these appalling thing it's hard to see what will france can do i mean they had a state of emergency declared often as a kind of tax all of how is it still that in trouble if they just change the name they change the technology and yet still preventing the security agencies and police were protecting the french systems so i still see how much more they can do coming up in the news just ahead turkey is getting ready to expand its military offensive now in syria beyond the latest on that when we come back.

to you something to. put themselves on the line. they did accept the reject. so would you want to be president interim. or somehow want to be rich. but you'd like to be first this is what before three of the people get. interested always in the waters about how. this should.

thanks for watching out international one kevin zero in next on the turkish president is vowing to extend a military offensive against kurdish militias in the syrian city of ask for it to other parts of the country now we hear as well as a rag to say it's a two pronged thing this. remember i told you we can they will flee we will chase the work and with our friends the p.k. k. went to singe or we'll go there to operations there have to. go there one says turkish forces will soon move on from africa to take control of the kurdish stronghold of tel rifat which is in syria's aleppo province yeah the map will give

you a better handle here this is where civilians as well as kurdish militia fighters fled after turkey seized afrin the turkish militia crackdown against kurdish forces apparently is not going to stop there either crucially with president they're also promising now to go after kurdish militants in iraq's singe our region and korea says it's targeting the p.-p. the kurdish workers party which of course turkey considers a terrorist organization turkey's operation olive branch launched at the end of january with turkish forces entering syria's afrin region despite fierce resistance from the kurdish minute militants turkish forces seized the city of africa in mid march president says more than three thousand seven hundred terrorists have been killed during that operation the crackdown led to that civilian exodus from the city well documented on this channel we showed you the pictures of it which the u.n. estimates at some one hundred seventy thousand souls getting out of let's talk to emirate callus guy who's co-author of the new turkey and its discontents hey thanks

for your time today so what's spurring president there want to push further into syria and also into iraq we'll talk about that first before we talk about what the reaction is likely to be why is he doing it. oh toking wants to take a console one to death total to you through your platers and you want to. actually declared before his time to do this action he said you want to get the. support he managed to control after another he's talking to americans and. there he must get back and then bitch and. announce publicly several times that americans promised. them they'll never need to turkish forces and it seems that. russian and american kurds actually television and or. region to increased turkish influence on the ground let me get this straight this

two pronged push further into syria into iraq this is got the backing you're saying they are the same of washington or not. it didn't actually backed. out because i. got a meeting with the former former. state department. minister to listen on the fifth of. the meeting took two years and they agreed to meet on the one thousand nine hundred munch but that was that he should fill in the american cabinet box came to power and he went back to again so he will not last on a correction but you should lose a key mind you showing in your turkey baster got to know but turkey will not put their partners from kenya to iraq they will come from not too thought and to actually create an enclave albeit albeit not turkish sovereign territory end of the day albeit that doesn't the doesn't want to see on the borders pushing into two

separate countries those are the backing of the turkish public or not or could it backfire on air there were. things that at some point have been backing public because there's been opposition also supported. in terms of. military action. action is clearly i think you. are trying to cut to actually trying to cut the connection not to buy from. and also it could push through coalition forces on the east talked with the reserve . is there an element this could be this could end in kind of a mission creep if you like as far as they're concerned the thin end of the wedge in any way what about the iraqi and syrian leaders surely they've got to have some kind of say in this you'd hope maybe is this the thin end of the wedge is what i'm

saying the. it is it actually took its own to push the borders by human condition. from the turkish tourist wipe out from the particular. you want to push to talk to keep looking for its own interests because turkey sees what p.g. as a tenet is national security and yet you're right about the international domination of the. right but of for turkey right now also they've seen it as a threat the kurdish peace process in the country can turn an. incremental more like air into this whole lucian's don't want to go solution to the current conflict and off course push plan that is now if you don't actually bring in television and interaction between turkey by p.g. . involvement or are there a thanks for bringing us the turkish position as you're saying at their co-author

of the new turkey in its discontents thanks without international. facebook's mark zuckerberg is taking a series of ads in the sunday newspapers in the u.s. and britain apologizing then for failing to protect users data it follows claims that the private information of tens of millions of people was collected without their permission and they exploited for political gain as jacqueline verger explained. several u.k. and american newspapers featured full page apologies from facebook boss mark zuckerberg the ad states this was a breach of trust and i'm sorry while promising to do better in the future that's after having written a post online about the changes the company will be making and saying facebook has learned its lesson during a c.n.n. interview we need to make sure that there aren't any other cambridge general because out there right or folks who have been properly access data you know we need to make sure that we don't make that mistake ever again but not everyone is buying what sucker berg is selling this cartoonist gave his response is a big thumbs down mocking the statements more than anything it reads i'm sorry that

we've been forced to stop ignoring these data breaches and they aren't alone in thinking that facebook has some explaining to do dr burke has been called to testify both in the u.s. and the u.k. on the situation now the whole scandal is centered around the british data gathering firm called cambridge analytic dated they collected was involved in donald trump's presidential campaign and possibly others as well the whole story blew up when it came to light that the company allegedly mined fifty million facebook profiles for its operations while its parent company was reportedly involved in psycho social studies for the u.k. defense ministry cambridge analytical is now under investigation its offices have been raided and its chief executive has been suspended the company denies any and all wrongdoing the scandal has also led to a backlash against the social network facebook's share price plunged to a four year low and the company is now facing multiple lawsuits from shareholders over on twitter meanwhile the house to delete facebook has been trending with some high profile people joining in as the fear of breach privacy is at the front of

everyone's minds the point is being missed here it's not cambridge analytic it's the fact that facebook is a tool a proxy if you will of that government and it just. it it was it was conceived it sued darpa to see. even money this this fame and oh i do think they use the years for measured against their are you kidding me facebook apple everything that we do is basically sucking up every bit of information we have. that are going to leave you tonight with some pictures that harrowing stories coming in the breaking news you see on the right taken from central russia thirty seven and now confirmed to have been killed in a shopping center blaze in central russia these pictures are from here on scores more injured and dozens of missing including children that fire broke out in

a multiplex cinema the bowling place a big shopping center on the fourth floor of a popular retail leisure complex in the city kemmer of its fear the number of casualties could rise as well it seems that at the moment the far authorities are on top of the blaze at least but now it's turned into a recovery operation conflicting reports describe the source of the far as may be starting the children's playground of the suggesting could have electoral trickle wiring either way really grim scene there for the fire service and thoughts of all the friends and family the people involved that this is art international we'll continue to follow that story throughout the night. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us on the world of politics or business i'm sure business i'll see you then.

how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is one business model helps to run a prison we do or don't like and nobody you know visitation i don't know what comes into them or we don't have to serve them anymore it's cost effective that's what they want to do that knowing they don't give a damn if you do the chores and that they're vastly paying us to put it back into the good the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. bridge what she could is behind such success. a.

clone of welcome to world of vice president trumps hiring and firing practices have long stopped to surprise but their recent designations first of my compare as the secretary of state and of john bolton as the national security adviser did leave an impression on friends and foes alike what can we expect from old the president's men well to discuss that i'm now joined by michael o'hanlon senior fellow at the brookings institution mr howland it's good to talk to you thank you very much for being here my pleasure thanks for having me now the trump administration's h.r. policies have been unconventional from the very start but it seems that now is a high time for letting people go and bringing new people on board do you see that as a random coincidence or is there a reason the strategy to all of these appointments happening right now well as you

know there was a lot of turnover last year throughout much of the white house staff in particular . but i do think that there is a purpose to changing both the secretary of state and the national security adviser in the same month i don't think that could be a coincidence and i think part of what's happening is that president trump has decided that he knows what kind of personalities he likes to work with he senses that he had ok relationship with general mcmaster but it wasn't all that close and there may be people that he would feel closer to politically in terms of partisan politics in terms of world view and of course secretary of state tellers and was a little bit of an enigma he seemed to be very reasonable and moderate and thoughtful in some ways but he didn't really click with the president and he didn't really click with his own state department and so i think president trump took all this in stride took all this together talked to his chief of staff john kelly and

they decided to make some national security changes essentially all together to try to create the feel of a new team preparing for a big new season if you will where we have huge decisions coming up on everything from the joint comprehensive plan of action with iran to the upcoming summit with kim jong un and north korea to the possibility of a summit between president putin and president trump so many other things that are on the horizon now donald trump is probably the miles davis if figure in the washington these days but coming in second is john bolton the home he just appointed as his national security adviser and one john bolton was working as the american ambassador to the united nations and he didn't make many friends not only because of his very hawkish views but also because of his personality i think it's safe to say that he's not a very amicable character and neither is trump do you think they will make

a good fit together you know it's a very interesting question. and i think there's actually a lot of truth in the way you put the question to me they are both you know different kind of people and neither one is widely popular with those they interact with the only one of those two that i know personally is john bolton i know i'm reasonably well he's a polite man we've always had nice conversations he tends to be somewhat reserved and withdrawn i'm a democrat but i'm sort of a conservative or hawkish democrat most democrats don't tend to like him so well a lot of republicans think his views are quite extreme and don't like him so well either i think it's not so much about his personality although that's part of it but i think it's more about his view of the world as you know donald trump has said some things as candidate and as president that are a bit disruptive he's a bit of a maverick on issues like for.
