a double agent and his daughter tonight moscow says it will respond. by good morning my name is kevin zero in this is art international broadcasting live from moscow thanks for your company first then we start with the tragedy in the city of camera of in central russia this weekend sixty four people including many children are now known to have died in that huge fire at that shopping and entertainment complex there local authorities say ten people are still missing and that the number of fatalities may rise further video agency ruptly is obtained c.c.t.v. footage from inside the mile showing the flames spreading and thick smoke rapidly filling the fourth floor it's been reported that the blaze began in the children's play area images showing the panic that ensued the been emerging online.

just. many people were unable to escape from the building some were seeing jumping from windows five people have been to taint and questioned in connection with the incident but it's still not clear what caused the fire a 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 grab my system would run down the stairs was a terrible crush and zero visibility my hands are still trembling when i imagine what could have some. one man

began to panic he said we should jump on them because it would soon come lapse we sheltered from the roof to be rescued but no one came for forty minutes. or to know that it's it it's. going to double some point. to. just many people in the civilization to see. the witches but the show ability most of them might include what must focus is not formal mr dick took us no must move each of those to use a partnership the commission that would be suited to because it was not. a chance to use manage the courage to look at the was done the portraits a good look at the good with this no we don't read the story. our children were very needy and we could only stand there and watch.

here's what we know about the when. ceri retail complex it opened in twenty thirteen in the city center four story building or was the previously been a confectionery factory in addition to a children's play area it also had to cinemas and a petting zoo it was around two hundred animals were also killed in the disaster and the aftermath of the fire now the city's canceled all entertainment and cultural events as a mark of respect for those who've lost their lives the region is in fact declared three days of mourning people are also bringing flowers candles and perhaps most poignantly toys that shopping center he goes down offers in camera for us and sent us back this report tonight. it seems that every single person in this town have come to this cell phone providers to vigil just outside the shopping mall to lay flowers bring toys in light the candles for many holding back the tears is simply

too much of a task there are no bystanders here. there was no alarm no siren no sprinklers the whole fire prevention system was off fire exits blocked people inside this shopping mall were left on their own to find out about the beginning inferno extension there knows 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. there were no fire alarms and nothing i just know is the smell and then a man told me to leave finding a way around the shopping center is hell you don't know where the stairs lead or

where to go there are no directions to x. is it's like some sort of labyrinth you won't get far as you're in a panic it's. hours since sundown but there's no sign of the crowd getting any smaller in fact new people keep pouring in and in terms of atmosphere here it's not just grief there's no dispute ration here it's something very different it's almost like the whole city has become one big family which did lose many many loved ones over night but in the wake of the cyrillic tragedy is standing shoulder to shoulder strong. you've done a party many people in camera which is about three in our foes and kilometers east of moscow have been queuing to donate blood for the victims fifty people were injured in that fire thirteen of them taken to hospital including several youngsters in fact it's been revealed tonight it's turned out an entire class of schoolchildren died in a blaze there in the senate watching

a new cartoon at the time. of looks at the stories of some of those who perished and again you may find some of the scenes coming up highly distressing. for rural youngsters a visit to the big city is always an adventure the twelve year old classmates went to town and they went bowling ice skating to the cinema it would be their last adventure. if this. committee or this monument. dozens and dozens dead but they aren't just numbers they all had names lives all the compensation in the world won't cover their family's loss especially given that so many of the victims were children masha was there with her

grandmother and she'll need turned ten last week and posted this photo in line exactly a decade is all she got in this world both she and her grandmother perished. tiana an english teacher she was there with her daughter who survived the tiana got out of the building before hearing that others was still trapped she went to help rescue who she could strangers but she never came back out you were the best teacher in the world right or former students you didn't deserve this we will all remember you stupid ass you could tell that it's amusing to do. this when you did. little rats aboard pictured here with his mom and dad she wasn't with them but imagine her pain when she had to

identify the bodies of her child and husband or even surviving is easy. some see he jumped others that his father threw him out of the window in a desperate effort to save his little boy before succumbing to the smoke himself we will know when it'll say gave weeks up from his coma a load his parents and little sister. there are too many to mention here but the point is made a list of names is one thing but it's only when you get to know them just a little that the depth of this tragedy really hits you. or goes over senior correspondent just steps short of some of the horror and some of the people that went through it tom jenkins is with us now he's president of the international association of fire chiefs this most sad news so much it being a professional prevent this kind of thing and seeing it happen here albeit so far

away as you are in the states investigators say what you can hear there were no fire alarm sounding but i could hear witnesses say that witnesses also say that the fire doors appeared to be blocked in a number of cases to be confirmed but it sounds like it also didn't appear like any water sprinklers all of fire retardant devices were. used there also seems to make matters worse the smoke went through the ventilators the ventilator system where do you start here what's your assumption of what's gone so badly wrong so quickly. well this is a business where we've got to learn that tragedy for the years world whether it's a state europe russia in this case none of those countries and continents are immune from fires like this and what makes this tragedy so. far understand that we've learned lessons that should've addressed all that that it

should have had sprinkler systems a quarter million square feet of commercial space lots of things to do and a lot of hazards with which to address and i think that we have blocked a firearm system that didn't go off and that there were no sprinklers installed in the still it's just mind boggling and you're right at the very sad scene it seems that a fire drill victim of what that in tiles just last week so it seems safety standards as far as they saw it would being it here in russia safety standards despite what maybe some people think in the rest of europe of pretty high that up to european norms in many many cases in fact of course smoking for instance was banned in public places for instance. what more do you think could have been done i mean there are a blatant blatant violations obviously that have gone on what you feel if you start reviving anything this. well one thing's for sure. there were things that could

have been addressed block fire whether or not fire alarm sounded appropriately and why sprinklers were not required are things that obviously we can't answer today that could be addressed in the future that we have to figure out what went wrong here and we have to make sure that a threat does not happen again and just. just look at those pictures while you're talking you seen some of the smoke coming out of their offices a plastic clad building that didn't go up as granville tower did in london so or a riff in the last year seems that all held intact whatever whatever that was made out of but the black acrid smoke coming out of those windows you wouldn't stand a chance in that for long i suppose you know it's easy to say we'll run for it but how long would it take in your experience we have a come by that kind of thing not very long especially when you're talking about at risk populations like those children there's bodies to start meant to inhale that kind of smoke and there's no way that when you when you add in blocked it's a lot of alarm systems sounding i can imagine the fear and some of the.

things in time tom jenkins the president's national association of fire chief says it is not what you can save just want to get your view on it thank you. thank you and of course we'll continue to follow the tragedy in camera for over the coming hours the fire in a shopping center has claimed the lives of sixty four people now confirmed dead number of others are still missing and recovery teams are continuing tonight to work out that complex there. was. when i was told some seemed wrong all right old quotes just don't call. me old it is yet to shake out this day comes to educate and in gains from it equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the. good politicians to show to. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something i want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to see what before three of the boys can't be good though.
