hello i'm kevin ten pm here in moscow you're without internationalists a late tuesday evening here in russia and the main story dominating our coverage tonight this country continuing to mourn the victims of the shopping center inferno in the siberian city of camera vigils have been held across russia with people bringing toys and flowers to makeshift memorials sunday's tragedy claimed sixty four lives including many of those a child. each night three kids to. take kids and this is when we. could stop where. we don't leap in the goods. these are very recent pictures of this even from the center of moscow where the movers thirty songs thousands were the vigil there including families with children those who couldn't get to the improvised no more. realtor lays out flowers and toys

in tribute passing as you can see forward to others closest. to the culture of those that. were here in the center of moscow as you can see here hundreds of people came to commemorate the victims of the deadly blaze and the city of camera now this square seems not to be enough to beat out everyone who wants to be a part of this event you know many people came here with their children a lot of people brought flowers some came here was the wide balloons that have been released into the sky paying respects to the victims of that horrible tragedy now we managed to speak to some people who came to the downtown of the capital this tuesday morning that could come with news just got to put this just to. believe it was not more the cause of the with this dog in the bush to come looking those are the postcards ready to deal with the birth of the trust of the kids if it's

going to succeed pushed up to show. such a theory is just for symbols to come for gifts to reach or give to teachers should they wish to i'm just going to try out for just that but you. don't come board which you would go to patil if we keep. the atmosphere here at this gathering is really changing now some people started to shout political slogans they are protesting against the government are calling for the step down of the governor of the camera overreach and now the crowd is shouting truth right now as they're demanding out investigation into what happened on sunday in the city of caravan out of the shopping mall earlier and other events that took place by the walls of the kremlin where as well a lot of people came very bringing flowers and lighting candles it is a very different. mormon's for the whole country as this horrible tragedy as she

can everyone not only end because she but around the world wednesday tomorrow has been declared a national day of mourning here in russia although more than forty cities held vigils on choose day today to some drivers also sounded their car horns in tribute to those who lost their lives at eon. here are pictures from elsewhere around russia where people have been commemorating with dead by releasing balloons lighting candles and leaving notes of remembrance. further afield the world united two in some ways people in israel hungry stonier ukraine and other countries have been also paying their tributes laying flowers outside russian embassies flowers were laid in the former soviet republics of kurdistan and to into. meantime there at the epicenter of all this in

camera itself anger has been growing found in the massed in the city center on choose day demanding action and demanding that justice was given for the victims and also the resignation of the regional government that really lasted for twelve hours. was. that was that was that your we we worked with when you want to know what. that was for. you yeah it's just. that they're emotional and they want on susan probably the perfect metaphor to sum up one question on everybody's mind in one way or another or another is that this kid. should be farther from the truth the mother ship the sleep the emotion here the emotion level is borderline hysterical people want to know why why the five prevention system didn't work why people had

to break through fire exits. i ran upstairs cinema stuff didn't let me suit pushed me my daughter asked me why no one was saving her past the firemen to do something but he just stared. around two third floor firemen stood that did nothing in front of the door my daughter told me that she loved me and that she was suffocating i told her to get down on the floor and back her not to die the children are dear it isn't a matter of how many are dead now unless we change something hundreds of others could die if you don't do stupid boy in the future when you got your back got it done just as you are going to have those good no upset that i get yeah yeah yeah yeah the love never the thank you for that because at this stage of the i should especially with her to see all the things that make up all that of course but there's yet another young girl you exhibit here that was her that you could use it

all right afterwards. and you know. this is of course is only a portion of the experiences inside that shopping mall talking to people here talking to survivors we know that security guards actually all. we warn people about the beginning fine and we've heard some stories of security guards heroically carrying children out of the blaze now another very important thing people want to know haze whether or not the authorities are lowering down the number of the dead in the blaze because. everyone we've talked to from taxi drivers to bystanders and passers by and people who brought flowers to the vigil all seem to believe that the actual number of people who died in the blaze could reach three hundred and five hundred people and that there were these are trying to shoot down so to speak to some people went to the morgue to see for with their own eyes whether or not the

rumor is true and here's here's basically the two different points of view on this the authorities claim that sixty four bodies were found and a few are missing so numbers are not that high but no one believes that's why because it was a sunday there were a lot of people it was a school holiday free movie tickets were handed out people arrived on tour buses that is widely known information yet luckily i was at the morgue on volgograd street there are six to seven bodies there sixty four of them from the shopping center burnt bodies three others are not related to that incident people exchange information and say that you shouldn't believe the numbers it's not sixty four it's three hundred so it creates a chain everyone shares it also show media messages video and screen shots appear but there is a huge possibility that some of the video is not from the shopping center but from

another fire some people are exaggerating it to my putin who landed here in camera in the morning and he has already laid flowers at the vigil and talked to some of the citizens to comfort them over their last one of the photos for the first signs of life he surrendered to richard. if you would measure them. you are. looking forward for permission as much as you. would just put your looks a little bit if you would be fucking the president of the g.c. . it seems a catalogue of circumstances led to this incident having such tragic consequences as that fire raged over control seems the fire prevention system in the complex didn't work no sirens were heard emergency exits were locked or blocked leaving people with no alternative but to try and escape from upper floor windows staff at the shopping center did try to assess customers but seems others allegedly prevented some people from leaving the building one teenager's been describing how

he saved three children. but. i could not see anything due to the thing i'd like smoke bottle to then i went into the next shot i heard children crying moaning i ran in the corner there were children two girls and the boy i think the boy to my waist is in my belt it held on to me to the girls by the scruff of the net and i carried them out to. the blazing camera is one of the deadliest in russia in living memory it took firefighters over seventeen hours to extinguish it the shopping complex was completely gutted by the inferno huge sections of the roof collapsed is a closer look at how it all unfolded. from the guinness pov. i knew it would imply see but you seem

to. think if. you kept it wasn't because it suits you. and. our family was. the first of the damn. i am.

still exists to see it as if. it is to. keep us. from. youngsters a visit to the big city is always an adventure these twelve year old classmates went to town and they went bowling ice skating so the cinema it would be their last adventure. if you teach them this. committee. 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 only 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 a former students you didn't deserve this we will all remember you stupid ass you could tell that it's amusing when this. is what you did.

little rats aboard pictured here with his mom and dad she wasn't with them but imagine her paid when she had to identify the bodies of her child and husband or even surviving is easy. some say 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 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.

you watching out internationally is exactly quarter past ten or more sco some other stories making headlines tonight we're covering at length two dozen western governments are now sending home between them over one hundred russian diplomats expulsions of this show solidarity with the u.k. which accuses moscow of all constructing the poisoning of a former spy and his daughter earlier this month britain's prime minister driesum oh is praise the coordinated response obviously i welcome the international support that we have that we have got to do this a little as i said in the house yesterday this isn't just a matter of the u.k.'s position and working with the u.k. it's i think in the national security interests of the individual countries concerned so tourism a has appeared in front of the parliamentary liaison committee and following the mass exposed expulsion of russian diplomats now she commended the rising number of countries that have expelled diplomats commending this unified

response from the countries she says it's not just in the interest of the u.k. but internationally as well now in the past a reason may has also reiterated that more needs to be done in response to russia's alleged act of aggression on. his daughter yulia she said the u.k. stands shoulder to shoulder with the e.u. and nato for nato that we've really been haring mixed messages from the secretary general we do not warrant a new cold war. today drawn. seven stoff to the russian mission to nato. the pending. request for three others so the secretary general has decided to reduce its russian mission to nato by a fit it really begs the question of how nato is going to prevent a cold war because this expulsion is anything but friendly the russian foreign

minister has also responded to the wave of expulsion saying that russia won't tolerate these measures but it's a little replied. no one would be willing so it's all right so it's. not either on monday more than one hundred russian diplomats were expelled from a number of countries it's the largest collective expulsion of russian diplomats in history now that all countries though that have said they will not be taking action and not expelling any russian diplomats this list austria greece portugal perhaps they want to keep an open dialogue with russia something that the president of the commission struck in his summit last week but new zealand have come full after running a few background checks that russian diplomats this is what new zealand have to say to the people who are being exposed being undeclared by large undeclared intelligence offices we've done a cheek a new zealand we don't have russian undeclared intelligence officers here if we did

we would expel them looking stateside seems that the u.s. is escalating the conflict with months ago and spearheading this process that the u.s. government is expelling sixty russian diplomats now that's the largest number of all the countries taking action there let's listen to washington's response now the president spoke with many foreign leaders. our european allies and others and encourage them to join the united states in this. in this announcement and looking at the response it appears that the white house has effectively admitted that donald trump was behind these expulsions despite the attack. that happening on u.k. soil. the thoughts of robbie says an expert in international law for political affairs counsellor of the israeli embassy in washington sir thank you for your time pretty busy man so the o.p.c. w.'s report on the poisoning case still isn't that it's going to be another couple of weeks yet two or three weeks none the less we've seen this almost unilateral

move by europe or america or britain to expel all these diplomats why the rush why not wait is the question i've been asking all our distinguished guests tonight what are your thoughts on it. well i would guess that what we're seeing here is of the sponsor cumulation of events. that gives the west paeans the data a feeling of washington activism and activity it refers to crimea are ukraine poisoning issue the election he was but i would look to point out that israel hasn't expelled any russian diplomats and we're very small country and we have to maintain good relations with big superpowers that's the u.s. and russia of course is involved in serbia so we're trying to keep our heads below the. tipitina's here as quiet as possible so people would say that's a wise move us closer given everything you've just said about the the so many roles

that russia does have in the world but of course the u.s. and the broader europe haven't taken the view and we don't even know the consequences are going to be yet because russia hasn't responded i suppose it's going to be reciprocal if not more in the coming days or is this going to end do you think. i don't know again israel is not a member of nato we're not a member of you e.u. we are tiny little state and russia is our neighbor involved in syria and we really try to keep our heads down as far as possible but washington c m i can't get we saying there but of course washington has been taken the driving seat here it seems according to the white house years that it seems that they've had the leverage over in europe do you buy that or was it just a p.r. kind of exercise for them no i think it's a combined effort by nato by the western european states by united states to show that they can't be pushed around by russia. again it's a communication cumulation of various issues that have risen i think they simply

want to show it's not a cold war but the western alliance is still strong and can respond to a blush and activity and again i'd like to make the point i made earlier we in our tiny little israel are trying to keep out of it. what in your view who in your view stands to benefit from from these expulsions looking on even though as you saying israel hasn't got involved as want to get involved your own personal view who stands to benefit here from these diplomatic expulsions almost one hundred have gone from from the u.k. from europe from america are on the way back shortly and again reciprocal things going to happen is going to benefit most from any thoughts might my interpretation is this is a western nato message from us are don't push us too far and in other words i don't think they want to get to have to escalate the issue but they certainly are sending a message to russia hey mate who is still here the west is still here the u.s. is still a superpower don't push us too far in the same of course russia has that message is

the boss who is also a superpower ravi's able from here for university law school and for political affairs counsellor at the israeli embassy in washington thank you for your time sir thank you. let's focus on what's happening in spain sickly the ongoing spout with catalonia seems the latest is pro independence protesters of no block one of the main highways in spain's catalonia region as part of action ongoing being taken over the detention of the former leader karl is putting on police that he was forced to disperse the demonstrators. was. were there was. there were it was was the was.

the protesters are demanding the release of local politicians and an end to madrid's political pressure on catalonia the latest wave of action began on sunday when the deposed president was detained in germany just about finland pending an extradition decision and fled to belgium last october after conducting mental pendants referendum that was ruled illegal by madrid in fact he's wanted by pacifically in spain on charges of rebellion and sedition. your story is next to tell you but a whistleblower says the data from cambridge analytical may have swayed britain's breck's it referendum christopher wylie who worked for the company made that claim at a u.k. parliamentary hearing i am absolutely convinced that there was a common plan in common purpose with vote leave the leave the dea and batteries for britain why is it that all the sudden this company that has never worked on anything but here again with a product that had no public presence somehow became the primary service provider

to all these supposedly independent in different campaign groups in cambridge a little because work has dragged facebook into the rao over the use of personal data big time of course an investigation into the social networks now been launched by the us federal trade commission seemed fifteen million accounts are said to have been targeted by cambridge analytical and its parent company this issue. and i mean we were affronted during the campaign by the vote leave the so-called battle bus which went around. and with a great big slogan on the side saying three hundred fifty million pounds a week can go back to the n.h.s. when it was a totally inaccurate figure wasn't the net amount that we were paying into the european union anyway it was counted out of thin air and that really set the tone for the whole campaign and i'm afraid i think a lot of people were told a lot of in accuracies only infer in this both sides of the campaign were were

entertaining. people's fears and trying to engage them in that way but it meant that it was a pretty lousy campaign and people weren't really given the facts but you know tried to distill forty years more than forty years of close involvement with the you into a yes no answer in a referendum was a crazy thing to do over the phone a thought back to this particular story chris for a while is suggesting this whistleblower that the law was broken by believe vote leave if that's true what are the implications of that. well the implications are very serious the trouble is it's going to be very difficult to prove the nexus between any kind of illegal activity and people actually being persuaded to vote in a way that they might not otherwise have done i mean that's going to be the the big problem it's going to leave

a lost the smell over the whole campaign and the result of the referendum and that is why in the european movement for example we are saying that when we get to know the full negotiated settlement that's being agreed between the you and britain that's when the people need to have another say that's when the people need to be express expressed their view do they want this steel or don't they want this steel you you and i wouldn't go into a contract for me to buy your house as saying don't worry about the price don't worry about the fixtures and fittings will sort out all that once we've signed on the dotted line as it stands the whole thing is a nonsense as it stands at the moment though through some a starting by a word means bracks it is there anyway if this cambridge analytical thing develops further maybe some of these accusations approved it could change. or not briefly. yes i think it could and i think it's part of what we're seeing now from opinion

polls not a massive change in public opinion but a constant change in public opinion where people are getting a lot of cold feet they're realizing that we've probably bitten off more than we can chew but actually the downside of coming out of the european union is going to be such a potential disaster for britain but people are beginning to say hang on a minute this is just too risky and are i'm hoping that therefore if it does go to the people again as we want they will turn around and say actually we're better in rather than out well at the moment the vote is normal rice and but watch this space keith best from the european movement u.k. thank you sir thank you. i can tell you we've been in touch with the s.c.l. group the parent group of the company for comment as well as the individuals named no response back yet as when we do get the thing of the coming hours days when of course update you keep you posted. i. know the u.s.

ambassador to the united nations is known for mincing no words when it comes to russia and in her latest comment seems nikki haley's lambasted moscow for how it went about negotiations at the united nations for a cease fire in war ravaged syria let's get across to khaled maupin for later on this than high caliber strong remarks takes through it. well when the fifteen member body that leaves the united nations convened we heard from u.s. ambassador nikki haley now as she often does she began to make accusations against russia she accused russia of deception hypocrisy and brutality but from there her remarks took a rather interesting turn and went off on kind of a tangent in her remarks referring to what she said was diplomats leaving the room to call the syrian regime this is the u.s.

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley. and if you watched closely during the negotiations we could see our russian friends constantly leaving the room to confirm with their syrian counterparts. the possibilities for what was going on or only to either russia was informing their syrian colleagues about the content of the negotiations or russia was taking directions from the syrian colleagues about the content of the negotiations now from there we heard the russian representative and he responded with facts he began to lay out details about what's going on in eastern guta as the fighting continues and from there he was somewhat critical of the response that we've heard from the united states and its allies this is the russian ambassador to the united nations. in the state of the present

posted so members of the u.n. security council prefer to spend time on passionate speeches and lots of smoke and shaky claims towards russian that's broadwood to come up with their own rwandans to do anything good for the implementation of resolution one to pull over one we just don't seem to believe that some external do not lose.
