zero visibility my hands are still trembling when i imagine what could have. one man began to panic he said we should jump on the roof because it would soon collapse shouted from the roof to be rescued but no one. all artes and serious shooter has been following developments here in moscow in their news room in a deer several hundred people many children in that more of a time when it would have been extremely busy late sunday afternoon a lot of kids at the cinema at the play park along with their families just bring us up to date with what we actually know at this point well it was very very tragic the situation the mall was practicing this in the city. and the blaze

took twelve hours to contain so you can imagine how bad that was and one of the points is well you're i'm just reading i'm not sure if this has been birth but the fire brigades the fire crew on caught they actually couldn't get to the fire for some time because it was so large on the third and fourth floor and that it just gives a sense of how big this blaze was yeah i mean it was enormous. sixteen hundred square metres so imagine that and obviously the building has been severely damaged the floors and the really partly collapsed several hundred people as you said were in many had allowed their children to walk around wander around left of the play area at the cinema which is what you do as well sometimes you know you do hear that it's not just in this particular camp but on a sunday afternoon maybe the moment after the shopping if you've got an older child they would bring their you. siblings to the cinema it's not completely unusual that

is it absolutely not if you see it all the time you know you and i have gone shopping to different more than and you see that it's a family day out and that's exactly what people were up to in that situation we have hired many reports via social media. people describing panic absolute panic when the room when they realized the fire was spreading some had tried to make their way to the top floor only to be faced with that smoke backdraft many of said that they couldn't hear a loud speaker or a fire alarm to warn them as to what was happening and now we have got some eyewitness events here is a couple of stories that we've got one. a friend who she's got two people still missing another. friend was there and help the children to try to escape let's have a quick listen to what they had to say. us whole situation of not know when and

just waiting is no fragment no one slapped the whole night in one the dead were mother and daughter four to five hundred twelve years old and the father yesterday he was another supers 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 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 of the building some tried to get back in and rescue other 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. we've also got reaction from other eyewitnesses describing what they saw and how people dealt with the situation let's take a look. would you look at it instead of compares it to the television shows not the desert is really the army's between the simpler if you move it in them you can move on which. would you go through the. leadership with but if you want to clear to the curriculum. you could see the children or children you know. even if. you don't understand. what you look at you know this being a little bit. immature you know this is one you look at your food you do when you come in there did you ever. see the distress on the faces there

and the shock one of the stories that stood out for me at the moment is a horrific story actually a group of primary school children who came for a day out. outside of the city center the teacher taken to a cartoon show they have gone missing and what they did is send some text messages and these are quite heart rendering one said i can't get out i can't grieve another said tell mom i love her and this one is is really terrible this is the end you can imagine the fear that they were feeling there on their own without that the grown ups that console them truly heart wrenching it's just chilling testimony is not from kids and the parents who have to hear them and if you're thank you very much for that bring us right up to date i believe we can actually cross live to the siberian city of cameras where our team has landed he's standing by to speak to us

hi there igor yes i should be in shock today coming to. what can you call it unspeakable yes. well guess what we're seeing here first and foremost a lot of people with flowers carrying them to the scene of this horrific and soul crushing tragedy i should say there's no more smoke rising from the shopping mall which means the fire has largely been contained now it started on a sunday evening when a lot of families with children were over there and apparently had started in the children's play use now it is not entirely clear yet what caused the fire there are two major versions one is someone apparently troubled teens deliberately setting fire to a foam pit in the trampoline area and that's what caused the fire that's one version another one electrical circuit malfunction faulty electrical circuit but whatever

started the fire everything else since then what could go wrong did first and foremost there was no sound alarm to warn people in the shopping mall that something was wrong that the fire was starting sproat sprinklers did not work either a lot of fire exits when people rushed to full to the fire exits to run for their lives some doors appeared to be a lot so they had to break them and to jump out of the windows to save their lives right now it is not yet clear how many more people many more bodies will be discovered but the firefighters are telling us not to get our hopes too high as. it is really impossible to survive in these conditions now people have organized somewhat of a meeting somewhat of a rally in support of you and to support the relatives of those who lost their

loved ones you know also a lot of. children as young not just children but also in. the lists of missing persons that's partly because for example one of the cinema halls was a patently showing a car to so it was almost entirely by children we're here we'll be following. throughout the day as people have been lining up to donate blood to hospitals in critical conditions in the i.c.u. we'll be bringing you the latest from the scene of this tragedy unit here those lists you can just imagine you know the parents looking at them just hoping that their child is one of the missing not confirmed dead at this stage is just completely horrific. live from the siberian city where that deadly blaze broke out yesterday thank you very much. in the hafter mouth of the fire the city has canceled all entertainment cultural events in

a mark of respect to those who lost their lives people are also bringing flowers candles and perhaps most poignantly of all toys to the shopping center. people in cameroon there also as you can see here going to their nearby clinics donating blood for the victims people lining up a lot i think in the snow at the moment what we know is that forty eight people were injured in the fire that's the latest figures we have eleven taken to hospital some remaining in a critical condition. according to the lead his figures eleven people eager was just alluding to there are just a moment ago are still missing. all of the victims they have met with city officials in a nearby school and i'm sure as you can understand some of them could not.

get. this is going to be. absolutely. russia's health minister. is among those in kemmerer of organizing help for the injured she actually told a story of a patient in a very serious condition let's listen. civil disobedience that's all negative at this moment eleven people are still hospitalized and the eleven year old boy is in the most serious condition he jumped from the fourth floor to save his life his parents and the younger sister died in the tragedy he is the only survivor from his family the boat has serious injuries and now needs an artificial lung ventilator

but his condition has slightly improved this morning. as well a blaze in camera has been named as one of the deadliest fires in russia in the pursed one hundred years two other similar tragedies have struck russia in the last decade as well.

yeah lots of reaction condolences coming in for this a number of countries have expressed their their feelings on what occurred given condolences to the families of those killed in the fires and just looking at messages of support have come from austria turkey. serbia already this morning that was also echoed by the general secretary for the consul of europe we will of course because the following the tragedy in siberia right through the day just to recap what we know at the moment are that fifty three people are confirmed dead at eleven are missing including children rescuers are continuing to search the burned out shopping center in camera for we will be keeping across this story for many hours. was. was. yeah while we collect get verified information of what is occurring there

let's move on to some more global news this hour facebook founder mark zuckerberg has taken out a series of newspapers in the u.s. and britain apologizing for his failure to protect users data he says 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 least trusted major american tech company only forty one percent of those said they had faith in the social media platform following the recent scandal several specialists claim that facebook isn't only storing data which users have uploaded to the platform but also contact lists cole logs and even text messages are being harvested some say the data has been collected for years we discussed the breach with internet lawyer explored yeah you're cool and. trey's book is clearly in the

wrong here because what facebook is done is it is given access to a third party to a vast amount of facebook uses we doubt those uses consent and permission once apologizing for the breach of date. mr zuckerberg also made a lot of. tension into political issues so worked really. well saying we'll follow gys 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 for. looking steps that could possibly be election good it leads to one of. the breach of the install chain in years and done back a single story. wiki leaks founder julian assange where he's been an outspoken

critic of facebook has known for some time he's 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 at me after leaking secret u.s. government documents and i was jackin virga now explains there is pressure in some quarters 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 being invented here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people their relationships names addresses seating we the united states.

excess 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 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 its locker 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 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 well it's 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. prove separatists have clashed with police in barcelona the protests turned violent in the city throughout sunday. was. protesters are demanding that the spanish authorities and. politicians supporting the custom independence movement has followed the detention of former president. bush 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 council on the independence vote last october and could no face charges for rebellion and sedition madrid issued a european wide arrest warrant on this pushing for his extradition back to spain. extradition bottle could drag on for months according to those closely following the story. well you are probably going to be in the room for three bunol in. supreme court and to the chances to get to. a very high 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. in the. legislation allows up to three months take the solution or an exhibition so if. it's sad it refuses exclusion as it looks going to be the case then your authorities would

have to remount to. take this issue on the extradition case so it may take a long time. but one man's act of kindness in the alps has london him in trouble after he helped a heavily pregnant migrant woman reach a hospital in france ben what do 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 the team managed to get them done to a car and were driving them to hospital when they were stopped by french police to cole was told he had broken the law by aiding undocumented migrants mr cole is now awaiting trial under french law if i'm guilty could receive five years in jail as well as a thirty thousand euro fine he say's it was his humor tarion gerrity to do what he did. also it more 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 although 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 ask her to. give you a new additional muscle it 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 to 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 a dad the children and the two accompany people i was said immediately they are small documents from a catalog my personal belongings they notified me of a hearing on wednesday and released near midnight. i'm going

across to you my lawyer assisted me with interrogations and developed a strategy to follow for the hearing i've insisted that i was doing my humanitarian 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. while lots of support for him around a hundred people rallied over the incident of a police station in a town on the french italian border they claim the policy against my brain cells been shown to be illegal and. polo bernardin an expert in european history says the rescue team did the right thing when it broke the law to save people's lives. react that way and i think it's just one of the rare happens when. someone acts against the law. or someone else in this case my grounds are so.

upon the issue. and. i think it should also be released because of humanity and the love for mankind of the love. we. should be superior. in the state the opposite of what we should of bought one might. respect that because they are human beings so they must we like human beings. all right just a reminder of our breaking news this hour from the russian city of camera of a fire blaze of a shopping center has not killed fifty six people the number increasing in the past number of minutes that is officially confirmed by the authorities you're looking at live pictures of a refund flower laying. out entertainment complex in this. european city

when the makers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. the flame of their ego realm lifts only the woman was told. to ignore middle of the room sit. to lose the real news is the world.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out to cut up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry suddenly i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with the death of this one different person to speak to now because there are no other takers. the same that mainstream media has met its maker.

politician. sometimes. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be present injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press it's like the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. the ship may. not. be with people who. have. gone. to the.
