3:03 am
the smoke filled the cinema a group my system would run down the stairs was a terrible crush and soon visibility hamzah still. look up to. one man began to he said we should jump on the roof because it would soon collapse sheltered from the roof to be rescued but no one. cared to richard joins us live in issue for more on this and just before we go for the latest update i do have something all those pictures we were just looking at the manu saw jumping out of the window to escape the fire according to russia's health minister he is in a stable condition in fact it might have been the shelter of the door that he hit
3:04 am
on the way to and may have saved his life we'll know more in that shortly i hope he was one of several hundred people was me including children in the mile up the time what else do we know about this can imagine you know a sunday day out family day out usually people just walking around that shopping mall allowing their children to obviously wonder around it's really a tragic incident that we're seeing him now and the fire happened in that shopping mall in the in the city broke out on sunday afternoon and it took twelve hours to contain this blaze which is absolutely unbelievable in thing approximately sixteen hundred square meters so. enormous the building has obviously sustained terrible damage the roof and the floors are partly collapsed some parents like i said before tragically left their children to wonder around and there were several hundred people in the moore at the time now we have had reports directly from people who were in the midst of that blaze through social media there were descriptions of
3:05 am
panic descriptions of people trying to make their way to the top floor only to be faced with smoke and of course they didn't apparently hear any loud speakers or a fire alarm as a warning what we can hear now is a witness statement from a friend of two people who are missing and the warnings that they heard. because no situation of not know when and just waiting is no fragment no one slaps the whole night among the dead were a mother and daughter four to five hundred twelve years old and the father yesterday he was another supers and he got to know 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 had health issues was his heart when he got the news about his family your career where you do look when i came i saw how many including my boyfriend were carrying small children out the building some tried to get back in and rescue other
3:06 am
children but they were prevented from getting back inside and told that there were no more children maybe they could have saved more when i was on the phone to my boyfriend the connection drops suddenly and they heard i'm carrying them out from the fire i went to the mall and went inside looking for him somehow i spotted him by chance i still don't understand how i can find my friends half of them left but his sound were either enable to leave or under the rubble. and i heard a witness event of boyfriend helping children to escape and her friends are still missing as well now one of the stories that really has to die out is a group of primary school children that were actually on a school trip in the mall they had come from outside the city the teacher had let them go around and took them to a cartoon show eight of these primary school children missing what we have a really quite strong and heart rendering messages that they texted.
3:07 am
one saying i can't get out i can't breathe another was saying tell mom i love her and this one is particularly tragic this is the end so those are the kind of messages that we see coming out of that no one knows where they are. and you can imagine the fear that they were feeling absolutely help right. bleated you can't instead of. those clips i was inches of chose not to use it because that it is the mean nothing to live. in the nuclear bomb which. was lit. up she was not sure. what is good because you pretty. much tell you. if you kill him if he doesn't there's a. fairly close to what you need to be asleep each of these little bit.
3:08 am
the end of this one you look at you fool you mean you got them they didn't use it. so that is the situation at the moment that it's just your thinking these kids were probably looking for this for a week's trip with their friends on a sunday afternoon and it looks now that noah may come home. that's the situation as it stands though fifty three madeira dead many more injured to keep up there with more updates on the strike the dana theory true to thank you very much. yeah according to the latest figures because they are changing we are getting verifiable ones all the time eleven people are still missing the families of the victims they have met with city officials in a nearby school. could not hold back their anger we tried to. speak coming. up this is
3:09 am
going to be. absolutely yeah that's what i was. thinking was. the source you want me. yeah in the aftermath of the fire the city has canceled all types of entertainment and cultural events in a mark of respect to those who lost their lives people there bringing flowers candles and indeed all the more poignantly toys to the shopping mall. people and cameras are also lining up to donate blood for the victims lots of clinics like this similar scenes what we know at the moment is that forty eight people were injured in the fire eleven of them have been taken to hospital some of them in a critical condition. well the blaze in the siberian city has been named as one of the deadliest fires in russia in the past one hundred two years two other similar tragedies have struck russia in the past decade.
3:10 am
yes number of countries have been expressing their condolences to the families of those killed in the fire messages of support have come from austria and turkey. other messages echoed by the general secretary for the consul of europe we will of course be closely following the tragedy in siberia right throughout the day on our
3:11 am
keep tape but if you're just joining us let's recap for the moment we know fifty three people are confirmed dead in the shopping center blaze eleven people possibly children still missing rescuers are continuing to search the mall and camera. odd. 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 what 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 no one comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore is cult effective definitely want to do that knowing they don't give a damn if you did so as
3:12 am
a nun there were actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us sam bridge what secret is behind such success. and what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they did accept it will reject. so when you want to be president and. more somehow want to press. you to go to the press this is what before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in that. case should. we're back with our international facebook founder mark zuckerberg has taken on a series of newspapers in the u.s.
3:13 am
and britain apologizing for his failure to protect users data he say's the company will do its best to ensure it doesn't happen again a recent poll in the us suggests that facebook is the least trusted major american tech company only forty one percent of those of us said they had faith in the social media platform following the recent scandal well several i.t. specialist claim that facebook isn't only storing data which users have applauded to the platform but also contact lists call logs and even text messages some say the data is being collected for years we discuss the breach with internet lawyer yeah your colon. facebook 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 facebook uses we doubt those users consent and permission
3:14 am
once apologizing for the breach of date. mr zuckerberg also made a lot of efforts to be attention into politically shoes so what's really. saying we are all a giants full of allowing facebook data to be used for the purpose of manipulating our political complaining now this is not really the each of what he really needs to apologize is not full. looking steps that could possibly put the election would it leads to what a judge is for the breach of the stocks and he hasn't done but can single story. wiki leaks editor julian a sun shine i'd spoken critic of facebook has tweeted a simple guide to check if your personal data being collected by the social media site a son found himself on the wrong side of the law after leaking secret u.s. government documents. explains there is pressure on some signs for zuckerberg to be
3:15 am
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 being painted he we have the world's most comprehensive database about people that everybody shares names addresses seating we the united states. excessive u.s. intelligence and the songs 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 zucker berg
3:16 am
was crowned 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 soccer birds 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 the users' personal data unbeknownst to them and facebook promised to fix the problem sound familiar just a couple of years later
3:17 am
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 to thaw. 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 a 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 will tell. of prove council and separatists of plush with police in barcelona those protests turned violent in the city throughout sunday. god

3:19 am
extradition bottle could drag on for months according to those closely aware of the story let's take a listen. well you was probably going to be in the room for three bunol in. supreme court and to the chance to get to. a very high sentence and to be most of the action and rebellion why he actually went to brussels was centrally because there's no i'm suggesting this is a rebellion. in the. legislature allows up to three months take a position or an exhibition so if the man is sad it refuses exclusion as it looks going to be the case then your authorities would have to remount to. take on the exhibition so it may take
