one man began to that 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 forth and it's. well let's go now to camera for the siberian city where they blaze occurred our t.v. version of is there a forest really a city in shock isn't it it's what after three o'clock your time i still sunlight for the rescuers to do their job in sunlight give us a sense of what we know at this stage about what occurred. while union it seems like the whole city's flocking with flowers toys and candles to the shopping mall that was caught a blaze on

a sunday night full benches completely heaps with flowers and everything else and people standing there holding sort of a vigil to all of the dead in the blaze now it could be yesterday because on sunday and apparently started at each children saw a playground at a children's fun zoellner and it's not yet clear what exactly started it there are two main burn. actions one is someone apparently troubled teens deliberately setting a blaze a form creating the trampoline area and another one is an electrical is a faulty electrical circuit but whatever caused the place afterwards everything that could go wrong did it first and foremost there was no fire alarm to give an early warning to the people inside secondly the sprinklers didn't seem to work at all and when people actually rushed to fire escapes some of them appear to be

locked so they had to crush them hey they had to break through them or jump out of the windows some some people injured themselves doing so a lot of children and a lot of children in the lists of the dead missing some of them some of them told us it was a sunday it was the weekend so many many families took their kids to this shopping mall and one of the cinema halls was reportedly packed with small children who were watching a movie now the investigation into what's happening is ongoing at least four people including the fire safety chief of the mall and the owner of the mall have been detained and taken and taken in for questioning now we are here all the way throughout the day to bring you the latest from the scene of this horrific tragedy and people have already started people are queuing up in massive lines to donate blood to those injured to those in the hospital so we will be you will be bringing

you the latest from the siberian city throughout the day you know lots of questions to be answered about what occurred there is either sell off expanding life from camera. well in the aftermath of the fire the city has canceled all entertainment and cultural events and a mark of respect to those who lost their lives people are also bringing flowers candles and perhaps most poignantly of all toys to they. shopping center. people in cameras are also lining up to donate blood for the victims what we know at the moment is that forty eight people were injured in the fire eleven of them were taken to hospital some remain in a critical condition the events of the tragic day and speaking to me earlier. richard. day out family day out usually people just walking around that shopping mall allowing their children to obviously wander around it's really a tragic incident that we're seeing here now and the fire happened in the 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 gold thing approximately sixteen hundred square meters so enormous the building has obviously sustained terrible damage the roof and the floors partly collapsed some parents like i said before tragically left their children to wonder around and there were several hundred people in the more 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 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 is a witness statement from a friend of two people who were missing and the warnings that they heard was not situation of not knowing when and just waiting is no fragment no one slept the whole night among the dead were

a mother and daughter forty five and twelve years old and the father you know yesterday he was a novice who bears and he go to 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 earlier today had health issues was his heart when he got the news about its family your career where you do look when i came i saw how clearly my boyfriend were carrying small children out of the building some try to get back in and rescue other children but they were prevented from getting back inside and told to do were no more children maybe they could have saved more when i was on the phone to my boyfriend the connection drops suddenly and we heard i'm carrying them out from the fire i went to the mall and went inside looking for him somehow is part of 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. now one of the stories that really

has stood 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. 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've seen coming out of that no one knows where they are. and you can imagine the fear that they were feeling that you can't instead of. the children she chose not to search his salary our lives between essential if. you can move on which you would you conclude. with what is going to clear to the particular. church

olympic. athlete overselling who we can ask you meticulously because. it's been a little bit. immature you know it doesn't you look at you for you when you come in they didn't even have a. and just shocking testimony there according to the latest figures eleven people still remain missing the families of the victims they have met with city officials in a nearby school and understandably could not hold. this. was . going. this is going to be. absolutely. everything.

what politicians do something good. to put themselves on the laws. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president injured. or somehow want to be rich. that's a going to be for us to see what will befall us tree in the morning can't be good good i'm interested always in the waters of the. first six. ok we're back with more global news stories this hour facebook founder mark zuckerberg has taken on a series of ads in 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 u.s. suggests that facebook is the least trusted major american company only forty one percent of those of us said they had faith in the social media platform following the recent scandal indeed several i t. specialist claim that facebook isn't only storing data which users have uploaded to the platform but also storing contact lists call logs and text messages some say the data has been collected for years not we discuss the breach with internet law expert yeah your colon. trey's book is clearly in the wrong here because it was 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 date. mr zuckerberg also made

a lot of efforts to be attention into political issues so what's really big was saying we'll follow gys full of allowing facebook data to be used for the purpose of manipulating political complaining now this is not really they should what he really needs to apologize is not for. taking. looking steps that could possibly put the election would it leads to what a judge is for the breach of the stop check and he hasn't done that can single story wiki leaks editor julian assange janet spoken critic of facebook has tweeted a simple guide to check if your personal data being collected by the social media signed a son and self find himself on the wrong side of the law for leaking secret u.s. government documents and us juggling explains there's pressure for zuckerberg in

some quarters 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 everybody shares names addresses seeding we the united states. accessible to us 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 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 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 court ordered 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 while 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. council and separatists have plussed with police in barcelona protests turned violent in the city through sunday.

was. protesters are demanding that the spotlight show authorities kruk done politicians supporting the independence movement has followed the detention of former president carter has pushed him 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 cat's aloni independence for the last october and could know the face charges for rebellion and sedition madrid issued a european wide arrest warrant on this pushing for his extradition back to spain. well peached months extradition bottle could drag on for months that's according to

those closely following the story. well you are probably going to be in for a fight 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 low your. legislation 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 authority is would have to remount to. take on the exhibition so it may take a long time at. one moment of kindness in the alps has

landed him in trouble after he helped the heavily pregnant 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 the teen mothers to get them down to a car and were driving them to hospital when they were stopped by french police do a court was told the law or he had broken the law by aiding undocumented migrants and mr du cole is no awaiting trial under french law if found guilty could receive five years in jail as well as a thirty thousand euro fine he say's it was his humanitarian gitting to do what he did. my older 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 until 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 taken to hospital. even you would you shall 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 or another woman was about to give birth to a border policeman only told me that i was not able to judge whether the situation was serious or not at that point a family were separated the mother was taken to the hospital and we were brought to the police station with a dad the children and a to accompany people i was said immediately they are small documents may catalogue my personal belongings they notified me of a hearing on wednesday and released near midnight. i'm going to cross to you my lawyer assisted me with interrogations and developed a strategy to follow through here and 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 is a totally acceptable thing to do. around a hundred people rallied over the incident at a police station in a town on the french italian they claim the policy against migrants has been shown to be quote illegal and. hollow bernardine an 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 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. they. should be superior should be. the opposite of what we should of

bought one. of their. last respects because they are human beings so they must like human beings. let's get a reminder of our breaking news from the russian city of cameras a fire blaze at a shopping center a house killed fifty six people that number not confirmed by the authorities but the number of fatalities is expected to rise with people still unaccounted for these are live pictures from this city that rescuers job i believe has not been made more difficult as another fire has broken in the large. entertainment. cultural complex making it much more difficult to go in while there's still some like to look for you know hopefully people who are still alive in that area and eleven people we heard earlier we're still on the content for we're waiting to hear

. more than forty people injured some in critical condition in hospital so what the moments and what we're seeing here are rescuers some inside the complex but on able to get the certain areas because of more fire it's a very large area fifteen hundred meters it's a story we're going to be keeping very close eye on in the coming hours. also just before i go here i want to point out this a lot of flowers being. just. area toys as well very poignant for the children who lost their lives among the fifty six dead so far will be keeping us i say very close watch on. that deadly incident in camera but siberia.

fundamentally the united states and russia are have been for decades two scorpions in a bottle each capable of destroying the other but at the price of being destroyed itself . putin 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. 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 one business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like us here nobody over the case and i don't no one comes in anymore we don't have to serve them anymore there's

a cult effect if that's what they want to do that at the moment they don't give a damn if you need to charge or not they're actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us sam bridge what she could is behind such success. when lawmakers manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. in the final clearing go round the sun be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. room in the real news is really.

hard. to. have. done nothing. to the. hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things are considered peter lavelle with the appointment of john bolton is the new national security adviser should we

expect more stupid wars of choice says he wants success but everything associated with bolton's name is a failure the war party is again in charge. crosstalk in the war party i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have a he's a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and of course we have dmitri bobbitt she is a political analyst we spoke nick international right gentlemen as always crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it john bolton two words that i never thought would be associated with a position of power again considering his legacy victor your reaction to this news that ripples through the foreign policy establishment and what we call international diplomacy five years ago everybody would be shocked if they.
