large crowds gather across russia to mourn the victims of a huge shopping center firing kemmer of which killed sixty four on sunday meantime in the city itself. thousands rallied to justice for those who died calling for the resignation of the regional government. to keep. the u.s. state department says it has no proof russia was behind the poisoning of double agents crippled but it takes london's claims at face value nonetheless.

tells us that they have proof that they know russia was responsible we have every reason to believe. you know that scene there are evidence there prove i have i've not. hello i'm kevin oh it is just after one am here in moscow you without internationally wednesday morning the main story dominating our coverage still russia continues to mourn today the victims of the shopping center inferno in the siberian city of kemah of vigils have been held right across the country with people bringing toys and flowers to makeshift memorials sunday's tragedy claimed sixty four lives including those of many children. niña. reachin a tricky to. take kids and this has been the. coach to stop where. we

don't leap in the because. thousands attended the vigil in central moscow including families with children those who couldn't get to the improvised memorial to lay down flowers and toys in tribute as you can see the passing them forward and forward to closer to the front to get them to the memorial within a caution over a correspondent mr i thought. 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 feed everyone who wants to be a part of this advance you know many people came here with their children a lot of people brought flowers some teams here was the wide balloons that had been released into the sky at 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. as we reach a problem in a pub name a couple when you. look at jim's cousin brigitta. years ago we

you know we are in the pocket that are coming to not so dear come or treats it's come aboard ship in certain years due to syria not but the poker possible solution us what she is another greece d.c. is up to my dear you whose will tell you probably a metal professional thumb if. no pressure you give of the ship but having a bizarre buffet is just a lawyer for there is a bomb copy of the directive down the to the ideas that is the blood. what if still there were a lot of people here but then in a couple of hours the atmosphere here at this event started to change and became distinctly political now there was a group of people that started to shout at different slogans they were protesting against the current russian. government there were also calling for the governor of the region this is where the treasure is easy to place to just step down earlier any other event took place by the walls of the kremlin we were as well

a lot of people came there bringing flowers and lighting candles it is a very difficult moment for the whole country as this horrible tragedy has shaken everyone not only in the country but around the world today's been declared a national day of mourning here in russia more than thirty cities have already held vigils in the past twenty four hours some drivers also sounded their car horns in tribute to those who lost their lives. here are pictures from elsewhere in russia to where people think i'm rating the dead in the same way by releasing balloons lighting candles and leaving notes of remembrance and further afield to better world unity for a while anyway people in israel hungary stony ukraine and other countries have also been laying flowers outside russian embassies flowers are also laid in the former soviet republics of. meantime the anger has been

growing at the very at peace center of all this in camera itself thousands massed in the city center on tuesday demanding justice for the victims and the resignation of the regional government that really lasted for twelve hours. was. that was that your we work with when you want to know what. that was. that they're emotional and they want anstice and 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 watch out for the truth the mother ship the sleep the emotion here the emotion level is borderline hysterical people want to know why why the fire

prevention system didn't work why people had to break through fire exits. i ran upstairs cinema stuff didn't let me suit they pushed me my daughter asked me why no one was saving her ass the firemen to do something but he just stared at me. around two third floor firemen stood there 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 our 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 you stupid boy in the future when you've got your back good enough but just as you are good you are those good no upset they get yeah yeah yeah yeah the love never did thank you for that because it's just so yeah sure especially when we're going to see all the things that make up all that of course but there's yet another sign that you didn't exhibit here was or did you think

it's about us and you. this is of course is only a portion of experiences inside that shopping mall talking to people here talking to survivors we know that security guards actually often. 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 here is 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 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 the authorities are trying to shoot down so to speak to some people went to the morgues to see with their own eyes whether or not the rumors are 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 sixty 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 lost son on the phone for the first time to like he said i'm going to check in. which was good for much of the movie new york. looking forward for permission but you know what used to exclude would you be fucking the president of the g.c. . five people have been detained in connection to the incident including a fire safety official it seems a litany of mistakes led to the tragedy as the fire raged out of control the fire prevention system of the complex didn't work though sirens were heard emergency exits were locked leaving people with no alternative but to try and escape from upper floor windows stuff at the shopping center trying to assess customers but others allegedly prevented some people from leaving that building one teenager's been describing to us how he saved three children.

i could not see anything due to the big black smoke then i went into the next shot i heard children crime moaning i ran in in the corner there were three children two girls and a boy and i think the boy to my waist is my belt held on to me by to the girls by the scruff of the net and i carried them out to what. started me blazing cameras as one of the deadliest in russia in living memory it took firefighters over seventeen hours to put it out the shopping complex was completely gutted by the inferno huge sections that roof collapsed is a closer look at how this catastrophe unfolded. i'm the last bob. i knew i didn't see the new sound of.

music usually it's music if. you get it wasn't if you can it is it's a few. hours was. the am. i am. still exists which says it. is to.

keep them. 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 these little. 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 did ask you could tell that it's unusual in this to do. this but you did. a

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 that will 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.

seemed wrong oh. just don't call. me. to say proud to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. and what politicians do. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be rich. to be close it's like before three of them or can't be good. interested always in

the water out. there should. be. sixty russian diplomats have been ordered to leave the u.s. move aimed at punishing russia for alleged involvement in the poisoning of the double agent so ghostscript will is part of a coordinated series of expulsions by western countries but judging by the state department spokesperson statement recently washington has taken punitive measures it seems without seeing any solid proof. certainly know that russia is responsible for that attack that is something that is not in question that something that the brits and many other countries have said as well but we stand strongly with our ally with the u.k. and when the u.k.

tells us that they have proof that they know russia was responsible we have every reason to believe them. ok so you have been seeing their their evidence their proof i have not personally seen their roof that would not come over the state department that would most likely go to another building so i refer you to any of those other intelligence that is you know what is. the good of somebody there let's close to samir acoa know washington d.c. correspondent hello to you because through what was said well the state department held a press briefing today and as you can imagine the main topic of discussion was washington's expulsion of russian diplomats over the alleged poisoning of a former double agent and his daughter on british soil a spokeswoman now or was bombarded with questions regarding evidence or lack thereof most boil down to whether the u.s. possesses any concrete evidence linking russia to the crime check it out for yourself. how do you know these specific sixty people were that would you know that

would be an intelligence that i mean can you give us any kind of example of what these people were doing that made them not real diplomats i don't have access to that kind of information were they jumping the subway turnstile to show me that we're not actually ok years ago you're being funny it's different with the u.n. i don't you have to provide evidence to the u.n. and i think i just answered that but i don't know the answer to that if i can get an answer for you i would be happy to provide something up for you while answering now or basically admitted that washington hasn't seen any proof but somehow they've still decided to take london's claims as gospel and now i have the rare opportunity to ask a question and i mentioned that the o.p.c. w. or the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons hasn't released the results of the investigation as yet and she said that brush it wasn't cooperating with the state department that would most likely look forward to the o.p.c. the view completing its investigation we also hope at the same time that russia

will return to the un security council and will agree to some sort of a mechanism like the joint investigative mechanism that they had stood in the way of and in fact defeated numerous times. well now or blatantly ignore the fact that russia has been saying it's ready to cooperate with british authorities since the day of the assassination attempt so it seems that washington doesn't believe in its own philosophy that one is innocent until proven guilty and it guess it doesn't matter how many times russia tries to cooperate it doesn't really matter when they've already decided who to blame but let's get back to evidence the american ambassador to russia said that britain had a document that showed that russia was involved saying it was pretty comprehensive but was it really well russian media got ahold of that document but it was a six slide presentation and the first slide just read incident in salisbury and the other slides had a timeline of events information on the type of gas that was said to be used and the number of people taken to the hospital now the last slide contained the list of

russia suppose that nefarious activities and the british response to them so clearly the document contained no actual evidence that russia was behind the poisoning but it's somehow considered proof by western states that are using it to justify expelling russian diplomats. from d.c. appreciate it so would restart of the moment will two dozen western governments some are sending home between the over one hundred russian diplomats britain's prime minister trees of maize praised the coordinated response. welcome the international support that we have that we have gone into this a little as i said in the house yesterday this isn't just a matter of the u.k.'s position and work in the u.k. so i think in the national security interests of the individual countries can see sir theresa may 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 and the reason they say reiterate that more. needs to be done in response to russia's alleged dr of aggression on. his daughter she said the u.k. stands shoulder to shoulder with the e.u. and nato for nato we've really been haring mixed messages from the secretary general we do not want the new cold war. today redrawing the i could tell you. seven stoff the russian mission to nato. the pending a could it 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 waves of expulsion saying that russia won't tolerate these measures but the use of the reply didn't she worry no one would be willing to tolerate such bars. 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 stressed in his summit last week that new zealand has 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 law john declared 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 though it seems that the u.s. is escalating the conflict with months ago when 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. happening on u.k. soil. for the for me tonight the united states you and i busters known for mincing no words when it comes to russia especially of late so the latest comments nikki haley's lambasted moscow now over how it handled the serious cease fire negotiations at the u.n.

khaled maupin's got the story when the fifteen member body that leaves the united nations convened we heard from a u.s. ambassador to 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 one off on kind of a tangent in her remarks referring to what she said was diplomats leaving the room to call the syrian regime 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 are only two. 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 the russian ambassador to the united nations and in

benghazi he took to the floor and responded to the accusations from nikki haley with some rather clear facts about what's taking place on the ground in eastern guta and he pointed to the solid achievements of the russian sponsored humanitarian pause he pointed out that one hundred twenty one thousand civilians have been able to leave of their own free will and get out of the areas where the fighting is taking place he also described the fact that russia is providing food and medicine to those who have been forced to flee the area and help from there he went on to be quite critical of how the un security council meetings are being conducted and what does essentially a blame game being used by certain countries at the council this isn't a bad. move so that the present posted some members of the u.n. security council prefer to spend time on passionate speeches and allowed to smoke and shake it claims towards russia and that's broadwood to come up with. a new thing with the implementation of resolution one we just don't seem to believe but

some external donors are losing interest in supporting people from the region switch and pulling on the syrian government control we're getting signals from some capitals the. opposition. it's unclear what will happen next but it it's pretty clear that the position of russia is that the united states should be using these meetings for the purpose of trying to actually help the civilians who are in harm's way not for making unproven and shaky accusations against different countries and placing blame when so many civilians are in danger and do need the real assistance and attention of the security council color boat put in new york this is a internationally is kind of a no in saying thanks for watching this update.

there's an issue probably the only issue the unites many of the most powerful individuals surrounding donald trump and the issue is hostility directed at the ranch there is every reason to believe the same people will translate their

hostility into action even military action the war cabinet is mobilizing. the whole make this manufacture come sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round of lives only the one percent of. the time making the whole middle of the room sick news. anymore you need to. apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money billionaire owners and

spending through the twenty million one player. book it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so what chance for. the thinks it's going to. greetings and salutations spring is here hark watchers as we grow into summer you can feel a great energy charge in the air we saw in action over the weekend is roughly eight hundred thousand protesters took to the streets of washington d.c. demanding an end to the uniquely us nightmare school shootings and gun related violence but as the old saying goes the more things change the more things stay the

same you see as these kids teenagers parents and teachers applauded the powerful speeches demanding an end to violence their elected officials both democrat and republican went about business as usual and guaranteed over seven hundred billion dollars worth of violence worldwide i present to you the great one point three trillion dollar omnibus spending bill ladies and gentlemen a good place to see where your congressmen and president's moral values truly lie seven hundred billion more than half for the war department including sixty five point two billion specifically set aside for the o.c. o. the overseas contingency operations the actual budget specifically for waging war and while the defense contractors bankrolls boom in their c.e.o.'s portfolios quadruple platinum that what joyce prizes await us behind door number.
