a. thank you we. didn't ask papa. nine you couldn't quite see but you sent or witnesses say people were unable to 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 as yet local media is reporting it may have begun other children's playground or dove 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 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 over the roof because it would soon collapse we shouted from the roof to be rescued but no one came for forty minutes. then what did you give me at least it is it gives you a new bridge to visit the city was good the good news the globe really good to you but didn't seem to be able to. do any good movie with the school student who would remove stupid you on the. other bush could. be good you could see these could be seen if certain things but. i'm sure you skew ship which to begin with. but didn't see it but something. that you.

well this is what we know about the shopping center before it was renovated into the complex it was used as a sweets factory just one week ago the building had conducted fire alarm trainees despite that multiple witnesses say the system failed to work when the fire started our teams in portugal off is at the scene for us it seems like the whole city's flocking with flowers toys and candles to the shopping mall that was caught ablaze 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 occurred yesterday because on sunday and apparently started at each children's playground at the children's fund zone and

it's not yet clear what exactly started it there are two main versions 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 window 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 reported. packed with small children who were watching a movie now the investigation into what's happening is 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 this siberian city throughout the day in the aftermath of the fire at the city has canceled all types of 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 the shopping center. people in

camera for also lining up to donate blood for the victims what we know in that regard is currently forty eight people are injured in the fire eleven of them are in hospital some in a critical condition. brixton 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 all 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 jumped 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 whole situation of not know when and just waiting is no fragment no one slept the whole night among the dead were a modern daughter forty five hundred 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 we've also got reaction from other eyewitnesses describing what they saw and how people dealt with the situation. you can't. talk to the designers mentioned the show is still not zero. these are cheaper salary alleys between the financial it. would be the number you can use on which teacher would you conclude the actual partnership with what is good value clear to the curriculum. if. you could sit in church olympic limited personality we can all see what you like to hear please if you speak luke. committee or you know this one you look at. you when 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 and the wall 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 there. according to the latest figures we have eleven people are still missing but families of the victims met with city officials in a nearby school and understandably could not hold back the right. this.

was. going to be what was going to be. obsolete. i was. thinking my god you know you want me or russia's health minister is in camera to oversee the medical side of the recovery operation veronica so first said genetic testing may be needed to identify many of the victims she also give an update on one patient who is in serious condition. and instill it at this moment eleven people are still hospitalized an 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 that tragedy he is the only survivor from his family has serious injuries and now needs an

artificial lung ventilator. yeah the little boy that the minister is referring to can be seen in this footage he is now in and then juiced coma as he tries to recover from his injuries very sadly he lost his parents and sister in the fire. the boy jumped from the fourth floor so he has a range of serious traumas he first inhaled smoke and then fell from a heart the boy's condition remains serious but there are some signs that his condition is improving. the blaze in camera has been named as one of the deadliest in russia in the past one hundred years two other similar tragedies have struck the country in the last decade.

condolences for the families of the victims have been coming in from a run the world germany the united states china and the u.k. are among those to have expressed their sorrow german chancellor angela merkel said she is simply shocked by the tragedy a reminder sixty four people have been confirmed dead in that fire rescuers are continuing to search they burned by shopping mall in camera with some people still missing this is a story we will be following right throughout the day. odd. odd

. the most. chose seemed wrong when old rules just don't hold. any gold to get to shape out just a few comes to educate and gain from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the.

what holds its institutions look to. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something i want to grips with. what you're going to be close this is what before three in the morning can't be good good. i'm interested always in the waters of my colleagues. yes sure. quarter of an hour into the program welcome back facebook founder mark zuckerberg has taken out a series of newspapers in the u.s. britain apologizing for his failure to protect users data he says the company will now do its best to ensure it doesn't happen again a recent poll in the u.s. suggests facebook is the least 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 i.t. specialist claimed that facebook isn't only storing data which users have uploaded to the platform but also contact lists call logs and text messages some say the delta has been collected for years we discussed the breach with internet lawyer yeah your calling. 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 data mr zuckerberg also made a lot of efforts to believe it to be attention into political each use so what drearily mr zuckerberg was saying we'll only 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 what it needs to apologize for the breach of data full stop and he hasn't done that yet story wiki leaks editor julian a son john i'd spoken critic of facebook has tweeted a simple guide to check if your personal data as being collected by the social media site a son find himself on the wrong side of the law for leaking secret u.s. government documents unless checking bogan are 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 here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people their relationships names their interests is all seeding 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 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 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 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 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. separatists have clashed with police in barcelona those protests turned violent in the city throughout sunday. was i. was. i was

time after time they were going underground three years to the day that british backed saudi bombs 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 on 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 about the burying of the world's worst humanitarian crisis and does the law just have a higher education strike in british history mean no u.k. graduates in twenty eighteen professor judeans telegraph from london's renowned

court told us about the neoliberal bucket of education and teaching will ask is outside club 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 b.b.c. censorship although some more coming up in today's going underground at 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 the 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 also as a nation campaign the most extraordinary global terrorism campaign in history of

course it's also a turd generating campaign as is understood at the highest level when you say attack a village and murders somebody who your image and maybe a couple of the people are standing around that and to elicit a call for revenge and it has undoubtedly not not even questionable increased what we call terrorism a few months later the former vice chair of the conservative party andrew 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 has 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 hussain alba cocky about some of the alleged saudi actions that the british government to factor supports. the double tap strike that the u.s. used to use this tactic and iraq as they say against al qaeda and of the world and afghanistan targeting al qaeda but the. saudi led coalition is using this against civilian targets against a home they target civilians that they targeted riskier than they target journalists if you have a home has been destroyed by a strike the first people who are going to go there if their neighbors journalist and they do that and i think this is the kind of training that the u.k. is given to the saudi the coalition is using this tactic but there are reasons according to britain's former ambassador william patey that we support.
