8:03 am
which would say that it's. going to sit double so we're. just going to pull it still it should look like. the which i'm sure it would if it might be what it must but this is not the city that's not. the church it's rejection. would be if you did it is not. the portrait of the thieves the portraits of the good with the snow storm. here's what we know about the shopping mall the building itself is a converted sweet factory in the center of the city and just a week ago according to some reports it had held
8:04 am
a fire drill despite that many witnesses say the system failed to work and there was no alarm and. 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 the region has declared three days of mourning people are also bringing flowers candles and perhaps most poignantly toys to the shopping center. people and camera are also now lining up to donate blood for the victims what we know at the moment is that fifty people were injured in the fire ten of them were taken to hospital some in a critical condition artes and they were to do breaks down the events of the tragic day. russia's health minister is in camera verse to ever see the medical side of the recovery operation a lot of also verse genetic testing may be needed to identify many of the victims she also gave an update on one patient who is in serious condition much and in
8:05 am
still look 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 the tragedy is the only survivor from his family the boy has serious injuries in now needs an artificial lung ventilator that's the boy that the minister is referring to can be seen in this first pitch he's now in an induced coma and he tries to recover from his injuries sadly he lost his parents and his sister in the fire. the boy jumped from the fourth floor so he has a range of serious trauma he first inhaled smoke and then fell from a heart. condition remains serious but there are some signs that his condition is improving but. my son and my dad have joined me in the studio now to bring is that
8:06 am
we've been looking at some of the stories involving staff in the families who were caught up in this tragedy some truly heartbreaking stories coming out of the city are their words just overwhelming you hear one story you think it couldn't be worse and then you hear something else that tears your heart apart then take take for example these kids this is particularly bad children these are rural kids they're into the big city you know this is bring time holidays they're a school trip classmates. eleven ten year olds. they're having the time of their lives their bullying their eyes skating they do too they go to the cinema. soon and the fire breaks out and you know people are trying to help when they see the smoke when they see people running out the running in this these a family members friends strangers whatever trying to help people and some people they did help but it's not everyone. i was told by my boyfriend at the
8:07 am
time of the incident that he and his friend tried to drag the children away from the fire because of the thinks mind they were prevented from stand there and you're not even by the shopping mall center workers even though it was said the children. people were smashing windows with their hands and feet because it was an impossible to be in there and it was so scary when i saw how people jumped out of the windows just one person jumped in and not a boy is now in a coma from what you have heard and another person has broke his spine and that is a life i lost some friends and part of the good managed to escape but i lost contact with the rest stop and have not heard from them for over a day. none of those eight children or the teacher survived their families have been notified and some of the bodies of been found and identified but understand that these people were trapped the fire exit was blocked or logged the
8:08 am
coding to different people the fire alarm had been switched off according to authorities security they had switched the far alarm off so you don't you know there's a fire if you saw people running out the way if you smelled the smoke by which point you know it's almost too late but many of these kids in adults they knew what was going on they called their relatives their mothers their fathers begging them to come help to get them out of that other kids knowing that this was the end the posted messages on their social networks they called their mothers for a loss for a last farewell again some of the bodies of been identified and found sixty four i take it as of now but we expect more to be found. with time this is a particularly distressing story about a mother and
8:09 am
a father father the. the took three of his girls five five years old and two eleven year olds out to watch a cartoon same of the same cartoon it took them upstairs this is on the fourth floor he leaves them there and then goes to do his thing to shop whatever it is and wait for the film to be over. a little time later he gets a call from one of his girls she's begging him for help she says she can't get out the parent he the doors in the cinema had been locked up for whatever reason and he tries to rescue them he tries to help the runs up there to the fourth floor and it's full of smoke the car get in he tries he collapses he runs out tries to get rescuers input but that point it's you know it's just too late. these these stories are gut wrenching terrible now horrible and if you know it it's
8:10 am
honestly difficult to imagine what these parents are going through now but there were those who tried to help who risked their lives this this smoking unless you see it stand you really don't appreciate how deadly and dal how quickly it spreads how quickly it floods everything so there were people trying to help and i think we've got another witness right now. did you can't instead of qatar's into the showers not the. realities that mean nothing to live. upon which that you're. not sure. what is good for the particular. how much are you close. to getting there's a. fairly close to what you need to be at the e.p. teacher to discuss
8:11 am
a little bit of. the end of the new look at your photo if you really mean you got them they didn't want to read executives believe sue correspondent dan i was an camera and. he said to this report the latest in the stories the preliminary results of the probe by the russian investigative committee and apparently the shopping mall was both built and operated amid some very severe fire safety violations more moreover the one of the security guards apparently disabled the fire prevention system before the blaze broke out snow this earth shed some light on the cave a have a very good broke out after the five because people were basically trapped inside and we know of fire prevention system operational these simply first of all the didn't hear there was no alarm there was no sirens or they didn't get an early
8:12 am
warning also sprinklers didn't work soledad failed to move and moreover the according to the russia's investigative committee fire escape exits were blocked they will look to so people had to literally break down do is jump out of the windows so many of the survivors god severe injuries during that as to what caused the fire it is not clear yes we do know that it apparently started at the. children's playground there are two main versions one is that somebody apparently tried apparently troubled teens said so he said the form pitch in the trampoline area a blaze deliberately another one is the electrical circuit malfunction but whatever whatever it is the all of that all of that inferno could have been avoided if the prevention system actually works now and behind me is a self improvised vigil and it seems that every single person in town of come here
8:13 am
to lay flowers bring tori's and light candles in memory of those who they've lost because the whole city is standing united as one family every single person here taking a stake here on a very deep personal level they've lost dozens of their loved ones each and every one of them just overnight now the investigation of course continues now this this shopping mall used to be a confectionery and in fact it conducted fire drills just last week so a lot of a lot of very grave and outrages flaws in those drills and so the investigation is looking into that looking into how this horror became possible how this absolutely soul crushing tragedy could have been avoided. is there any magic rafał told us he believes that the situation on scientific steamy difficult to manage an emergent
8:14 am
blaze like this where an entire mall is engulfed in flames and hundreds of people or thousands of people are inside. that can be a difficult situation for any emergency service to handle a matter where they are in the world and if it's not done properly it can be it can turn into a very large. even a little bit larger disaster than the one that was already there has to be really. dealt with properly and i'm sure the russian services did as best they could with situation at hand it seemed that was a very difficult situation and one that was very difficult to control from the porter getting it took nineteen hours to get the fire under control now the emergency services that the medical services in israel the protocols were not allowed to go into a place where there's a fire until the fire department tells us that we can and that it's safe because we don't want more people getting injured and i'm sure that was the choice and there. from the reports were coming in the disaster was immense. companies of the victims
8:15 am
8:16 am
condolences for the families of the victims have been coming in from around the world to germany the united states china and the u.k. among those who have expressed their story now we're going to be closely following the china day in siberia throughout the day stay with us for that it's a reminder for the moment sixty four people have been confirmed dead while rescuers are continuing to search the burned out shopping mall incomer of a some people still missing.
8:17 am
with the make this manufactured consensus still to have public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. with the famous merry go round the certainty that one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. believe. with the appointing of john bolton as the new national security adviser should we expect more stupid wars of choice from so if you want success but everything associated with the. war party is again charge.
8:18 am
welcome back in other world news now facebook founder mark zuckerberg took out a series of sunday newspaper ads in the u.s. and 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 well a recent poll in the u.s. suggest a bid 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 several i.t. specialists claim that facebook isn't only storing data which users have uploaded
8:19 am
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 cohen. facebook is clearly in the wrong here because it was facebook has done is it has given access to a third party to a vast amount of data or facebook uses we doubt those uses consent and permission once apologizing for the breach of data mr zuckerberg also made a lot of efforts to believe that the attention into political issues so what drearily mr zuckerberg 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.
8:20 am
looking steps that could possibly put the election what it needs to what is just. breach of data full stop and he hasn't done but getting the story what can he said to ted today in a song an outspoken critic of facebook has tweeted a simple guide to check if he'll personally thank the has been collected by the social media site and son found himself on the wrong side of the law for leaking secrets u.s. government documents and a stack invaded now explains as precious in some courses 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
8:21 am
machine that is it being invented here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people their relationships names their dresses all sitting in the united states. accessible to 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 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
8:22 am
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 doing a staunch 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

football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending student twenty million fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so we'll all chance for. a nice minute. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last turn. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. 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 other.
8:28 am
but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it's one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with this one to. speak to us there are no other takers. the same that mainstream media has met its maker. hello and welcome to cross talk more all things are considered i'm peter lavelle with the appointment of john bolton is the new national security adviser should we
8:29 am
expect more stupid wars of choice trump 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 draw levitch is a political analyst as well as a leading expert of the center for actual politics and of course we have dmitri bobbitt she is a politike. well analysts we spoke international right gentlemen as always crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated 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 as it ripples through the foreign policy establishment and what we call international diplomacy five years ago everybody would be shocked if they were told
8:30 am
that john bolton would get the respectable position in the government together that he was fox news analyst commentator and that actually played a significant role in his new hire. put truly seems to like to acquire those people that see nice things above him on fox news or some other networks and at the same time you bought bolton is it and trump are at odds on almost everything possible if you look at policy well. it's certainly they're at odds with what trump in the kid he wanted his foreign policy to be when he was running his campaign now when he spoke against regime change against nation building against democracy promotion. but the trouble that we've seen in office we've seen an increasing tilt not only towards war hawks as as evidenced by the cabal of generals running the government but now right into the the laps of the neo cons and this is in the ok.
