escape from the building and were seen jumping from windows there are no conflicting reports about the cause of the fire none have been officially confirmed yet local media is however reporting it may have started as a children's playground 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 musta someone ran down the stairs it was a terrible crush and zero visibility my hands are still trembling when i imagine what could have happened to us. 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. or in the aftermath of the fire the city has counseled all entertainment and cultural events in a mark of respect to those who lost their lives people are also bringing flowers candles perhaps most poignantly of all toys to the shopping center he reports live from camera five. seems like the whole city's floor king with flowers toys and candles to the shopping mall that was caught ablaze on a sunday night full benches completely heaped with flowers and everything else and people standing there holding sort of

a vigil to all of the dead in the blaze now occurred yesterday because on sunday and apparently started at each children's playground at a children's fun show and it's not yet clear what exactly started it there are two main versions one is someone apparently troubled teens deliberately setting a place a full. i'm creating the trampoline area and another one base and electrical is a faulty electrical circuit but whatever caused the place afterwards everything that could go wrong did 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 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 we can so many many families took the 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 there siberian city throughout the day i just want to go was speaking about their people in care of are lining up still to donate blood for the

victims what we know at the moment in that regard is that forty eight people were injured in the fire eleven of them have been taken to hospital some remain in critical condition well arty's and here richard are broke down earlier to me the events of the tragic day. 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 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 have is a witness statement from a friend of two people who were missing and the warnings that they heard i was told by my boyfriend at the time of the incident that he and his friend tried to drag

children away from the fire because of the think smog they were prevented from staying there any longer by the shopping mall center workers who said the children got out people were smashing windows with their hands and feet because it was impossible to be in either it was so scary i saw how people jumped out of the windows one person instant death now the boy is now in a coma from what we've heard and another person has broke his spine but is alive i lost some friends. part of the group managed to escape but i lost contact with the rest and have not heard from them for over a day this constitution of not know when and just waiting is no fragment no one slept the whole night among the dead were a mother and daughter four to five hundred twelve years old and the father yesterday he was a novice appears 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 earlier today

he had health issues with his heart when he got the news about his family we've also got reaction from other eyewitnesses describing what they saw and how people dealt with the situation. you can't even start. to the close inches of shows to not zero. these are cheaper salary our music mean essentially it would be the nominee pretty much from which teacher would you conclude. leadership with what is going to clear to the curriculum differently you could see the children the challenger to be fluffy can't let you get out and visit luthuli can i ask you what you'd like to hear. this because you. committee are you know this is one you look at you for you do you come in there did you ever read. 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 and 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. according to the latest figures we have an eleven people remain missing the families of the victims met with city officials in a nearby school one understandably could not hold back for. nothing she. was much much.

the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the usa in breach what she quote is behind such success. fourteen minutes past monday here in moscow welcome back 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 asked said they had faith in the social media platform following the recent scandal. well several i.t. specialist also claim that facebook isn't only storing data which users have 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 yeah your corn facebook is clearly in the wrong here because it was facebook has done is it is giving access to a third party to a vast amount of data or facebook uses we doubt those users consent and permission was up the images in for the breach of date. mr zuckerberg also made a lot of. tension into political issues so what drearily it was 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 issue what he really needs to apologize is not for. taking.

looking steps that could possibly part of the election would lead to one of the giants for breach of the full stop and he hasn't done but. meanwhile wiki leaks a very julian assange john knight spoken critic of facebook has tweeted a simple guide to check if your personal data has been collected by the social media site a son find himself on the wrong side of the law for leaking secret u.s. government documents on this jutting bukan no 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 sanchez 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 it being invented he we have the world's most comprehensive database about people and their relationships in their dresses all sitting in 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 on 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 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. 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 joining us on she's 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. separatists clash with police in barcelona protests turned violent in the city throughout sunday. was. protesters are demanding the spanish authorities done on politicians supporting the

independence movement clashes followed the detention of former president karl is the moment in germany. was still while crossing the danish border into germany where he's no in khost today he's wanted in spain for his role in the independence vote last october and could not face charges for rebellion sedition madrid issued a european wide arrest warrant this pushing for his extradition to spain. where extradition bottle could drag on for months according to those closely following the story. well you was probably going to be in the room for three bunol in. supreme court and to the chances 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 suggesting this is a rebellion. in the. 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 the german authorities would have two three months to act sudan to take on the extradition case so it may take quite a long time at. one man's act of kindness in the alps has landed him in trouble after he helped a heavily pregnant my girl or men reach a hospital in front 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 person in the mountains the team managed to get them down to a car driving them to hospital when they were stopped by french police the call was told he had broken the law by aiding documented migrants mr cole is now awaiting trial and under french law if i am guilty could receive five years in jail as well

as a thirty thousand euro he says it was his humanitarian gerrity to do what he did. molder 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 a hospital. 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 accompanying people i was said immediately they are small documents and they catalogue 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 that 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. for ben morris got support around one hundred people rallied over the instant 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 poll bernardin an expert in european history sees 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 the

way it's your someone acting 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 humanity and the love of the love. we. should be superior should be. the state the opposite of what we've been awarded one migrant once there they go. back to those they are human beings so they must be tweeted like human beings. let's get a reminder of her breaking news from the russian city of camera the death toll from a fire of a shopping and entertainment center there continues to climb it has now reached sixty four people many of them children the number of fatalities is also expected

to rise with people all accounted for up to eleven we believe at this stage it's something we'll be keeping a very close eye on right throughout the day here in our to international. this is life pictures by the way all the lot of flowers and toys and being laid side entertainment complex a steady stream all morning long. yeah i'll be back with more not at the top of the hour but no one of the foremost global figures on nuclear weapons joins show features are not safe to talk about the potential of a new arms race stay with her to. apply

for many flips over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money. and spend the two to twenty million. it's an experience like no one else want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful day a great chance with. the base. when lawmakers manufactured sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. the financial

merry go round the sun in the one percent told. us nothing nor middle of the room signals. the memory of the news is real the world. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

major global nuclear powers are billett out there are still is once again sparking fears of a new nuclear arms race. how serious is the danger well i asked matthew bunn the former white house advisor on science and technology policy and co-principal investigator from the belfer center on managing. washington to affect the global nuclear control process with strategic nuclear arms reduction treaty. and the sides exchanging nuclear weapon threats. sure destruction still a powerful deterrent. dragged into

a new arms race and will close the door and disarmament for good. thank you very much for being with us. on our program so let's talk a new start treaty. that's going to expire in two thousand and twenty one trump on many occasions has said it's one sided bet treaty do you like it's that and what would that mean for the global security. su unfortunately i think there is a real danger that the whole structure of the us russian negotiated nuclear restraint that sort of regulated the nuclear arms competition for the last half century may collapse we are in a situation right now where we do have the new start treaty in place the two sides have just finished complying with all of its limits as of early february. there are inspections still taking place it's one of the only ways in which the nuclear

stablish mintz of our two countries are still talking to each other and working together but in its current form it expires in early two thousand and twenty one both countries are charging the other with violations of various other arms agreements. and do when the very poor relations with it are countries it would be very difficult to get the two thirds approval needed under the u.s. constitution for a new treaty in the senate until some of those issues were resolved especially the charges of past violations and so it's quite possible the treaty will just expire and not be replaced so we need to be thinking about how can we. are there non-trivial approaches where we can regulate this situation without.
