about his family. where ever you are tuning in from around the world a warm welcome to our to international. we begin with breaking news from the russian city of camera where fifty three people have been confirmed dead in a tragic fire at a shopping center the number of fatalities exit expected to rise with over a dozen people at this moment for video from the inside of the burning shopping complex emerged online. just close to that. you could tell it to you. this. was

a. proper. i knew going to be pricey but you certainly. witnesses claim many people were not able to escape from the building while others were seen jumping from the windows of the three story more there is no conflicting reports about the cause of the fire again i need to reiterate that none of this is as yet officially confirmed some reports local media suggesting it started at a children's playground where a trampoline caught fire due to a child allegedly playing with a lighter another version that we are hearing is a potential is that electrical wiring of the playground had short circuit again we cannot clarify any of that a word of warning you may find some of the following images extremely upsetting.

it was horrific the mall was packed with people we could hear the fire alarm. the smoke filled the cinema a grub must someone run down the stairs it was a terrible crush and zero visibility my hands are still trembling when i imagine what could have happened to this. one man began to panic he said we should jump on the roof because it would soon collapse we sheltered from the roof to be rescued but no one came for forty minutes. ok let's look more into this not if you richard joins me in the studio hi there.

tragically several hundred people including us we're talking about so many children were in the mall after the time it's probably the busiest time of the week sunday afternoon you know moms and dads i'd shopping maybe leave their kids on a playground at the cinema and come back a little bit later for them this is what makes it all the more tragic what we know at this stage about what occurred yeah i mean can you imagine a normal sunday going out with your family doing what lots of people do which is you know enjoy the shopping mall allow your children to go and enjoy the sights it really is a tragic situation that was saying in the fire happened in the shopping mall in the city on sunday afternoon and it was contained twelve hours later so i imagine what they were fighting that absolutely huge approximately six hundred square meters again that just shows the size of the building is in the. a little bit of a mass there were reports as well as you're about some of the fire crew teams had

to wait because it was so large to actually get to the top four to put out the blaze that's how big it was yeah exactly and it just shows the enormity of the situation and obviously the building is left in ruins you could describe it as part of the room because. you know the rest of the building and the flaws now. as we mentioned some of the some parents admitted to leaving their children to wander around the mall several hundred people were at this morning and one of the worst aspects of this story is the children there's no doubt about it we've had reports directly for people who were in the midst of the blaze descriptions of panic spreading descriptions of them trying to make their way up to the top floor to be faced with smoke descriptions of not hearing any loud speakers or fire alarms i listen to what some of those witnesses said. you can't instead of. the television shows not the desert is really the army's between the fictional it.

would be the enemy putting on which teacher would you put the. leadership with but if you want to clear the curriculum. you could see the children the children. if. you don't understand. so we can ask you. this because. you know this is one you look at you for you when you come there did you ever really soon. i mean we've had lots of tragic stories but there's one in particular that stood out to me a school trip a cohort of children who'd come from outside the city a fun day out eight children. who basically were watching a cartoon show the telly looking forward to it all week looking forward to a trip and we don't know are they confirm at this moment are missing at the moment

but what we had was messages tragic messages that they were texting i can't get out i can't breathe tell mom i love her and this one said this is the end so we have got to wait and see what has happened to those children the russian investigative committee are questioning someone as far as you know and i'm sure that more details will unfold interesting with that figure that tall house rose and from last hour to this hour as well we are expecting worse unfortunately thank you very much for that if you're rich. you know we also took a chance to speak to a close friend of two people who are missing in the fire this is what she told us about those caught up in the tragedy. it was really only in the morning my mother went to identify the dead a girl she was just five or six years old i showed my mother photo that was released with the missing persons list she said the girl was among them this whole situation of not know when and just wait in line no one slept the whole night we

all go into work now everybody's shaken and tears unable to eat or drink we don't know what to believe everything that sort of who sits on the internet would go through it just madness in mind the dead were a modern daughter forty five hundred twelve years old and the father yesterday he was another and he got a call that there was a fire in the shopping mall he spoke to his wife a few hours earlier and he knew that they had gone there when he came over earlier today he had health issues with his heart when he got the news about his family. well according to the latest figures eleven people are still missing the families of the victims met with city officials in a nearby school it's quite expect that they could not hold back the record. was.

coming. up with. was very few. locals in cameras are now lining up to donate blood for the victims so what we know at the moment is that forty eight people are currently injured from that fire twelve were hospitalized some of those are in critical condition. or the blaze has been named as one of the deadliest fires in russia over the past one hundred two years two other similar tragedies have struck russia in the past decade .

let me just bring up to it with their reaction to this a number of countries have expressed their condolences to the families of those killed in the fire messages of support have come from austria and turkey will be closely following the tragedy in siberia right throughout the day to recap for the moment forty eight people were confirmed dead that's not risen to fifty three in the past hour sixteen we believe are missing and rescuers are continuing to search the burned out shopping center and camera phone. odd.

was. the far right didn't britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent muggers action i don't like need to read against an argument i see those organizations which will usually split into which we feel which takes different names how do you view that look. in. a complex web of which is fashionable. what politicians do sometimes because. they put themselves on the line to get

accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich. it's a going to be for us to see what will befall us three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should. twelve minutes into the program welcome back facebook founder mark zuckerberg has taken out a serious in newspapers in the u.s. and britain apologizing for his failure to protect users data he say's the company will not do its best to ensure it doesn't happen again a recent poll in the us suggests that facebook is the most trusted major american tech company or only forty one percent of those asked said they had faith in the

social media platform following the recent scandal. well several specialist claim that facebook isn't only storing data which you've uploaded to the platform but also contact lists call logs and even text messages some say the data has been collected for years we discussed the breach with internet law expert your colon. trey's book is clearly in the wrong here because what facebook has done is it is given access to a third party to a vast amount of data or facebook uses we doubt those users consent and permission once apologizing for the breach of data mr zuckerberg also made a lot of efforts to believe it to be attention into political issues so what's really mr zuckerberg was saying we all know gys full of allowing facebook data to

be used for the purpose of manipulating political campaigning now this is not really they should what he really needs to apologize is not for. taking steps or looking steps that could possibly put the election what it needs to apologize for the breach of data full stop and he hasn't done decant single story well wiki leaks editor julian assange and i spoken critic of facebook has tweeted a simple guide to check if your personal data has been collected by doing social media site a son find himself on the wrong side of the law after leaking secret u.s. government documents there's just no explains there's pressure for zuckerberg to be treated in a similar way. the theft of the personal data of around fifty million facebook members came as a shock to many but not for wiki leaks founder julian assange who pointed out on twitter that if you're not paying for a product you are the product of sound has never had an account on facebook and calls the platform

a giant intelligence database something that he also told us back in an interview in two thousand and eleven facebook in particular. is the most appalling spying machine that is have been invented here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people their relationships names their addresses all sitting within the united states. accessible to u.s. intelligence and the sons hasn't missed the irony involved when it comes to the treatment he's received for publishing information on wiki leaks versus the virtual hero worship mark zuckerberg has enjoyed over the years now to be fair was called the person of the year back in two thousand and ten long before it came out that he effectively sold user information to third parties but the comparison isn't without merit zuckerberg has been hailed as a visionary leader taking us into the modern world with rumors even circulating that he could be a challenger to donald trump in two thousand and twenty and yet his company has been caught time and again serving up users' personal information despite sucker

berg's promises to take privacy seriously you know in most other services the privacy is an important thing but on facebook privacy is central i mean we take our role really seriously i think it's my job and our job to protect everyone who uses facebook and all the information that they share with us but actions speak louder than words right back in two thousand and eleven the platform settled with the federal trade commission over charges that third party apps were able to access nearly all of a user's personal data unbeknownst to them and facebook promised to fix the problem sound familiar just a couple of years later a bug was found on the site that exposed the email addresses and phone numbers of six million facebook users and as a part of a legal battle running since two thousand and fifteen belgian courts order the social media giant in february of this year to stop collecting the private information of belgian users on third party sites a decision that facebook is not accepting and continues to appeal and that brings us to today and to this rather amusing me julian assange has been living in the

london embassy for over five years has had his life threatened by politicians and has been called a traitor for his work as a whistleblower and wants like a bird may not exactly be sitting pretty at the moment what with the hit his company stocks have taken and the requests from both the u.s. and the u.k. to testify on the situation i highly doubt the guy will be facing life threatening consequences if any at all but only time. tell. of proof. clashed with police in barcelona protests turned violent in the city throughout sunday. was. was was. was

so the protesters are demanding that the spanish authorities end a crocked on politicians supporting the independence movement has followed the detention of former president carter has pushed them on in germany. was stopped while crossing the danish border into germany where he's now in custody he's wanted in spain for his role in the testimony in independence vote last october and could not face charges for rebellion and sedition madrid issued a european wide arrest warrant and is pushing for his extradition back to spain. well indeed extradition battle could drag on for months according to experts. well you was probably going to be in for a very beautiful in. supreme court and to the chances to get to. the very highest sentence to be your most efficient and rebellion why he actually

went to brussels was centrally because there's no suggesting this is a rebellion crimea in the belgian. legislation allows up to three months. next edition so if the man is sad it refuses exclusion as it looks going to be the case then german authorities would have to three months to two at sudan to take on the exhibition case so it may take a long time at. one man's act of kindness in the alps has landed him in trouble with authorities after he helped a heavily pregnant migrant woman reach a hospital in france then what do you call a member of a volunteer migrant patrol group spotted the woman and her family which included two small children near a dangerous pass high in the mountains now the teen moments to get them down to

a car and were driving them to hospital when they were stopped by french police to call was told he'd broken the law by aiding documented like rats mr de cole is now waiting trial and under french law if found guilty could receive five years in jail as well as a thirty thousand euro fight he say's it was his humanitarian jetty to do what he did. all the while on patrol we spotted a group of people walking through the snow we saw there was a family with two young children and a pregnant woman all we did what we always do we gave them food and drinks and dry clothes we saw that the mother was not well at all we learned she was eight and a half months pregnant so we decided to act quickly we understood she wasn't feeling well she was about to give birth we had to immediately take it asked her to . review and you would usual not salute when we arrived to the bottom of the valley we were arrested by border police we were not able to convince them that the

situation was serious and the woman was about to give birth the border policeman only told me that i was not able to judge whether the situation was serious or not at that point a family was separated the mother was taken to the hospital and we were brought to the police station with her dad the children and the two accompany people i was said immediately they asked for my documents and a catalog my personal belongings they notify me of a hearing on wednesday and released near midnight. the lawyer assisted me with interrogation and developed a strategy to follow for the hearing i've insisted i was doing my humanitarian chief teacher in the mission at the moment my file is in the hands of the prosecutor he will be the one to decide what will have to happen if the situation repeated itself tomorrow i would not be able to act differently he was a totally acceptable thing to do. around a hundred people rallied over the incident a police station in a town on the french italian border they claim the policy against migrants has been

shown to be quote illegal and inhumane although bernardine expert in european history says the rescue team did the right thing when it broke the law to save people's lives. and i think it's just one of the many apples of which someone acting against the law. or someone else in this is my grounds so. touching upon the issue. and i. think it should also be released because. they. should be superior to. the state the absolute bought one migrant once. they get. back because they are human beings so they must like human beings. let's get

a reminder of our breaking news this hour fifty three people have been confirmed dead in a tragic fire at a shopping center in the russian city of care about the number of fatalities is expected to rise with eleven people still on the counted four witnesses claim that many people weren't able to escape from the building and not the fire alarm did not go off. conflicting reports about the cause of the fire again i need to point out none of this is officially confirmed some local reports suggest it began at a children's playground where a trampoline caught fire due to a child allegedly playing with a lighter another person suggests that electrical wiring at the playground hot short circuit in the playground was right next to the cinema we will bring you more this soon as it comes into the top he. was.

when else shows seem wrong. when old rules just don't hold. anything you get to shape out these days become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. how does it feel to be a sheriff the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is a good business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like is there no b.t.o. visitation i don't know what comes in to most we don't have to serve them anymore

it's cost effective that's what they want to do that low and they don't give a damn if you did so and are not thereby actually paying enough to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what she could is behind such success. fundamentally the united states and russia are have been for decades to scorpions in a bottle each capable of destroying the other but only at the price of being destroyed itself. and said well these weapons will overcome u.s. missile defenses u.s. missile defenses were totally ineffective against russian forces already so they'll be more effective against russian forces. what politicians do so. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject

. so when you want to be president and you. want to be that's. actually going to be for us this is what before three of them all can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters and that. this should. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out it's. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. book it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chimes for. the base this minute.

time after time say we're going underground three years to the day that british backed saudi bombers began to drop on yemen leaving thousands of civilians killed and tens of millions of people in need of humanitarian aid in the poorest country in the middle east coming up in the show three years on why is the british on the war in yemen still barely making the headlines we speak to the regional director of unicef middle east north africa here couple are about the burying of the world's worst humanitarian crisis and does the largest ever higher education strike in british history mean no u.k. graduates in twenty eight teams professor julian stalybridge of london's renowned court told the institute talk to us about the liberal marketisation of education

and teaching will ask is outside clubs plus. we speak to the pirate radio d.j. played by philip seymour hoffman in the book the wrong about breaking the law to circumvent multi-billion dollar record company control and state by the age of the b.b.c. censorship all this and more coming up in today's going underground but first one thousand and ninety five days five billion pounds in arms sales and millions of yemenis at risk for three years going underground has been covering what the u.n. has called the world's worst humanitarian crisis but even before the first british made bombs dropped on the poorest country in the middle east a global terror campaign had already begun here is professor noam chomsky talking one month after the saudi war on yemen began. yemen has been the main target. of the global assassination campaign the most extraordinary global

terrorism campaign in history of course it's also a terror generating campaign as is understood at the highest level when you say attack a village and murder somebody who you're in and maybe a couple of the people are standing around that tend to elicit a call for revenge and it has undoubtedly not not not even questionable increased what we call terrorism a few months later the former vice chair of the conservative party under mitchell at the time the only british m.p. to go to yemen spoke about the u.k. government's conflicting role in the crisis the blockade of course is an example of the internal contradictions of our approach to yemen and i think that it needs to be addressed the situation in yemen was described as having achieved in five months the chaos that syria's achieved in five years and we are very conscious in britain

of the importance of tackling the humanitarian crisis and yemen and we do want to ensure that the actions taken by others particularly those who are our partners make that situation even worse well we spoke to a journalist on the ground in yemen is saying how the cost you about some of the alleged saudi actions that the british government to factor supports that double tops that i like that they were as used to you as this that thick and they say i guess i'll try the on of the world and afghanistan. but they you. know the let's call it as it is use in this against civilians thought it against the home they target civilians then they thought it is secure then they thought you don't know this if you have a home has been destroyed by as the like the fittest people going to go that that neighbor has a that i don't know this and they do that and i think this is the kind of that i think that the u.k. is they've been through this all get a coalition is using this that the. but there are reasons according to britain's former ambassador william patey that we support saudi arabia.
