the austrian chancellor and the turkish foreign ministry have expressed their condolences to the families of those killed in the fire earlier my colleague kevin owen was joined in the studio identify organs to discuss the tragic events. even 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 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 the back. of the phone was it to you when this is. what you did. you thought was a. thank you we. really didn't ask what. you want to be pricey but you certainly 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 hard to talk about eventually when they've tried to recover the bodies here when 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 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 problem 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 worth twelve use of course in publix places here in russia smoking would be quite annoyed when word child of some of it in the limelight don't know what happened yet it's going to be a lot of questions that are certainly being asked here why the farms didn't go off why fire exits were clearly marked why there was such panic to get out very difficult of course for the families and 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 up small charts but asked all found alive and will of course have the updates for you as that investigation carries on into exactly what happened or people who are at the side of the fire in camaro have been describing what they saw. but you can't instead of qatar's inches of showers does not. mean essential if. someone. let's. just get to the pickle let. the challenger let the t.v. clear cut the oscars or so much that it looked like it was all going to look ridiculous ok so good for lookout for

fifty bodies or might much more significant silly close to what you need to be a to leap to teach them to discuss a little bit to. the end of this one you look at your food will you be when you come they didn't you was a good speech soon the tragedy in america bears close similarities to two deadly fires in russia back in two thousand and fifteen and two thousand. movie. let.

independence referendum last year which was deemed illegal by the spanish authorities this was a vote that calls 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 karla's could face up to thirty years in prison in spain and the spanish courts have already signed documents for extradition. these british historian told us is likely to be given a lengthy prison sentence. well he was probably going to be put in for a fight three bunol in the supreme court and to the chances to get. a very high sentence and to be guilty of most efficient and rebellion why he actually went to brussels was centrally because there's no suggesting this is a rebellion crime in in the belgian blow your. legislation

allows up to three months to take a position on extradition so if catalyst bustamante decided to refuse the six nation as it looks going to be the case then the german authorities would have up to three months to you to extradite him to take on the extradition case so it may take quite a long time that. france was hit by an act of terrorism this week a gunmen hijacked a car and took hostages at a supermarket in a small southern town on friday three people died that day life or succumbs to his injuries on saturday.

the weapon. we have for several years paid with our blood to know the terrorist menace. among those who died was a police officer our noble thrum who swapped places with a female hostage he left a cell phone switched on so the special forces outside could monitor the situation he died in the hospital on saturday morning of a gunshot and stab wounds and is being hailed as a national hero over the past year there have been several terrorist incidents in france and february two thousand and seventeen a man attempted to enter the louvre museum in paris with a machete and. attacker was stopped at orly airport one month later a police officer was shot and killed last april on the shelves i would say and the last october two young women were stabbed to death at a train station and mary former british intelligence officer and says the fact that the gunman was under police surveillance exposes wider failures. of the past that

we're seeing emerging across europe over the loss he is of people carrying out these low tech type attacks with high. rates. of course on the radar of at least the t.v. if each 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. carry out these are pulling teeth 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 the palaces to live in france they just change the name they change the technology and yet they still preventing the security agencies and police were protecting the french citizens so i still see how much more they can do turkey is getting ready to expand its military offensive in syria more of that when we come back to watch in the week we are to enter.

you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so would you want to be president and you. want to. have to go to the press this is what. three of the more people. interested always in the water. there should. when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts and be the one.

we can all middle of the room see. the. real news is really. welcome back watching the week we hear on our t.v. international now the turkish president has value to extend a military offensive against kurdish militias in northern syria. even. remember i told you we can they will flee we will chase the wood and with our friend the p.k. k. went to singe we'll go to operations that have become. president says it turkish forces will soon move from a friend to take control of the kurdish stronghold of tal rafah which is in syria's aleppo province this is where civilians as well as kurdish militia fighters fled after turkey seized our friend and the turkish advance against kurdish forces will not stop their president and one says his army will go after the kurds in the

sindar region of iraq on cross says it is targeting the kurdish y p g and p k k which it considers to be terrorist organizations and turkey's operation all of branch was launched at the end of january with turkish forces entering syria's afrin region despite fears resistance from the kurdish militants turkish forces seized the city of afrin in mid march president everyone says more than thirty seven hundred terrorists have been killed during the operation a crackdown has forced one hundred seventy thousand civilians to flee the city this is according to the un the turkish affairs analyst told us the army is trying to cut kurdish groups off from each other do they actually going to push the border just by giving quotations like. you can from the turkish perspective why. from the point. i'm actually to me i think taking p.p.

interests political landscape in europe too was russia and this is why it's not so easy to keep that. twenty eight. group. together the kremlin has rejected all claims of involvement calling the poisoning an act of terrorism russia has also offered to cooperate with the u.k. in the investigation of the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson has been among russia's harshest critics even agreeing with nazi comparisons and the problem entry here. because the roads like to the. pigeons go the way. these things. here so i think the comparison with nike these exist is right moscow considers this kind of statements made under the level of the foreign secretary in any way unacceptable and totally irresponsible.

the british government just free to make a decision about this but dissipation in the world cup but nobody has the right to insult the russian people who defeated naziism and lost more than twenty five million people by comparing our country to nazi germany. did he goes beyond the common sense and we do not think british war which runs including those of the arctic cold voice which share this opinion. after boyce johnson's comments in the russian embassy in the u.k. posted this photo it shows the england football team giving the nazi salute before a friendly match with germany in it nineteen thirty eight. the anti russia campaign is even making its way into british schools as artie's on associates work about reports what's better than helping the young to try to maneuver the ever tricky

peskov told a russian t.v. channel that british campaigns against russia are unparalleled it the new what we're seeing now is unprecedented affront or evening there's never been a case where a country's being accused of something which the accusers cannot even articulate themselves and they're not even trying to articulate it or i can say is this whole case is unprecedented it verges on a sort of gangsterism in international affairs as to what's behind this it's either the u.k.'s internal issues all the problems london may be facing in relation with its allies or maybe something else that's probably none of our business we're focused on how to handle these provocations president putin is keeping a cool head in this situation and unlike his british counterpart isn't going beyond diplomatically appropriate rhetoric laid out his position of the very beginning he said our internal affairs are our first and foremost priority and the poisoning incident happened on british soil you have to first get your facts straight at home
