here in moscow thanks for sharing your sunday with us international we have the top stories of the week. the russian president has accepted the resignation of the gulf . region over last sunday's tragedy the blaze killed sixty four people forty one of them children. day. but. then you want to see what you see. in years and. it's what was and if you should mulch if you go. to of she knew of.

my ass was. first of that. whole. give you a look at it expose the prejudice that it is a visual. medium you usually. like to ship if you think it's a good. first step.

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 by the thick stench in there knows this shopping mall used to be a confectionery and in fact it conducted fire drills just last week so a lot of. very grave and outrages flaws and missed in those drills and so the investigation is looking into how this horror became possible lattimer 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 i will. never know your life if you very much richard if you could with pleasure and was very nice we couldn't do it. because with permission from you know. with this

particular exclusive interview that i would do for political. reasons three days on since the tragedy the families of the first twenty two victims have said there are large goodbyes to their loved ones with burial ceremonies as the nation mourns the victims the investigation is working to hold those to blame for the catastrophe accountable right now investigators are looking into the mixture of factors the first and foremost the alarm the sirens did not go off when the fire began neither did the water sprinkler as if they were there in the first place and the fire exits were locked so people when they followed the designated paths to safety they found themselves the doors that were shut also the staff of the morgue reportedly was untrained how to handle an emergency like this at least twenty three victims have been identified so far out of the total of sixty four it is taking a long time because sometimes the identification is only possible through a d.n.a.

test so badly the bodies are burnt the process is going to endure for servant but still we are being told that it could take as long as three weeks to identify everyone one of the many tragic stories is that of a group of eleven year old girls from a village near come out of their travel to the regional capital with their teacher to celebrate the beginning of the spring holidays and watch a movie when the fire broke out they all found. themselves locked inside the cinema this reportedly is company policy to prevent people from sneaking into the auditorium trapped inside the girls tried to call their families and posted messages on social media none of them survived he spoke to some of those who knew the girls. they were such a good girl squire com truthful they started really well it is such a tragedy for everyone. their own was no children of this age left in our village

there aren't many children here only our granddaughters ina is alive she didn't go and also three boys when no one else their age is left in the village people across the globe have been joining russia to mourn the victims of this deadly blaze vigils have been held in more than thirty countries with people bringing candles and toys however in the russian city of camera has been running high shortly after the tragedy authorities in the city were confronted by crowds of victims' relatives and locals the demonstrators were demanding the truth from the officials with the rumors circulating the death toll could be as high as three hundred these claims though were rejected by the investigation committee and later as well by the protesters you. see right here. i.

i i. think. you know look like look at this. look. it was. let you know that i was going to you know i didn't see her. because. i i mean i get here and there. for you to be outdone to come any time you come here and try to lighten the load here by shuttle and you say are you going to be here you're merely looking ahead. i'm not going to leave because you're going to disappear

forever you're going to see me she was easier for you to. put the feeling of that i mean you can never get it back such that you have to look at the bill at the moment you cannot. believe. i. was you know i was going to let. let's.

meanwhile the investigation into what caused the fire is progressing the two main versions of the malfunction of the safety system but also. five people have been arrested among them two directors of the shopping center and the maker of the fire safety system. the number of the victims could have actually been higher had it not been for the courage of people nearby in fact some of them lost their lives trying to get children out of the burning building. jacqueline tells some of their stories . on sunday a tragedy and i said berry and city turn teachers shop workers students and scores of others and heroes for some it cost them their lives like to tell of their saw an english teacher and mother who was out with her fourteen year old daughter when the fire broke out she managed to get her child safety before selflessly running back into the burning building to try and help others trapped inside.

many survivors have spoken of how they would never have made it out alive if there weren't people like top down of their seventeen year old team apolo him is a student at an emergency services college with smoke filling the air he made it to the exit but heard a woman crying for help on able to find her children she pointed towards the fire and dreamer ran back inside. i saw nothing there was thick black smoke everywhere her children crying and shouting and that's how i found out where there are three children were sitting in the corner of a room terrified trying to her girls and the boy as all the boys grabbed my bow to hold it tight and took the girls by the color and carried them out stuff at the winter cherry center risked their lives trying to get as many youngsters out of the building as they could. because it already when we looked at the it was full of people they started helping people to get out of there we have a back door at the end of the storage room still it's calling people to come to us

there were dizzy people to our guys lifted their will and help them to go downstairs everything went black with clouds of smoke surrounding us i don't know what would have happened to me not them we don't consider ourselves risk you as we'll ordinary people if you were in our place you would have done the same we had lots of men to death then here and there are no doubt other unsung heroes in the city strangers without whom even more people both young and old would have perished . the blaze in come out of is one of the deadliest in russia in decades it took firefighters over seventeen hours to extinguish it of the sixty four people who died almost two thirds were children as the school holidays had just begun. and it's good to have you with us today wiki leaks founder julian assange has been cut off from the internet since the start of this week he also was not being

allowed visitors at the ecuadorian embassy in london where of course he's been there holed up now for almost six years sources close to the whistleblower have told r.t. why ecuador and officials took those decisions from outside the embassy and i say check and i reports. according to sources close to wiki leaks we have learned that the ecuadorian government had police teluk tronic jammers inside the ecuadorian embassy right behind me where julian assange has been holed up for over five and a half years now and the idea of this was to block him from being able to tweet as well as communicate with the outside world hold telephone conversations or have access to the internet generally speaking and apparently all of this comes following a publication in the equipe dorrian press about julian assange just tweets concerning the catalan issue specifically the detention of cattle on independence leader of carlist which demands in germany earlier this week courting to this source close to

wiki leaks is that julian assange and his team have been informed of having to delete a certain tweet that he had posted among others in one nine hundred forty the elected president of catalonia louis compan a swiss captured by the gestapo at the request of spain delivered to them and executed today german police have arrested the elected president of catalonia karla's preached a moment at the request of spain to be extradited julian assange did not delete this tweet according to these sources that are close to julian assange the government has informed him and his team about their discomfort with his expressing his opinions and curiously all of this comes following a statement from a top official here in the u.k. describing julian assange as quote a miserable little worms because of great regret the judean a silent remains in the ecuador embassy it is people even deeper regret that even last night he was tweeting against her majesty's government for their conduct in replying to the attack in seoul three it's about time that this miserable little

worm walked out of the embassy and gave himself up to british justice well earlier we know that claims were made by the ecuadorian government who said that julian assange had signed some kind of agreement saying that he wouldn't eat or say anything about politics of ecuador as well as other countries but again according to this source close to wiki leaks those claims have been false. the british fashion designer vivienne westwood is a friend of us she told us why it's important that he gets back online. we're very concerned about the fact that she consol visit the moment and it's really important that he's got access to the world by all the exposure the t.v. manages to do he's a weasel war heroics he exposed america war crimes they want to be concrete and you know this is just my friend a nice really and i'm

a fashion just on the call vivienne westwood to see him quite regularly and support him whenever i can a petition calling for the communications blackout to be lifted has already been supported by over thirty thousand people it opens with a letter signed by a group of prominent intellectuals artists and activists demanding the whistleblower be allowed to exercise his freedom of speech a song that took refuge inside the embassy in twenty twelve after being accused of rape in sweden a case later put on hold by. the whistleblower fears leaving the embassy and being extradited to america where he faces charges of espionage australian journalist john pilger says there's a lot more than that right now to worry about. this is about a war on freedom of speech this man is being denied the most basic rights freedom of speech it's part of a wider the wider war is against known enemies and russia is one of them china is another but at the moon at the end sad the propaganda stage this is about

the public's right to know and it's the public's right to know what that governments are doing the second part of this war is about a real rethink at the whole idea of trade war we've got the prospect of a real war and less this propaganda all these scenes for the attack on him and wiki leaks service years is so important because it does with journalists and should be good and that is holding great power took count on your weekly continues in a moment.

could have you to join us today deadly violence gripping the gaza border throughout . a large scale protest seventeen palestinians killed and hundreds wounded. soldiers deployed. as the. palestinians are holding. a demonstration denouncing what they call the israeli occupation of the territories thousands of pitched tents across five locations where they're expected to stay for six weeks israeli and palestinian officials blame each other for the latest flare up in violence israeli army says it only used force against protesters who tried to violate the border and the un has called for

an independent investigation into the deaths at the geyser border. the diplomatic fallout over the script case has been intensifying with expelled russian and american diplomats leaving missions russian staff quit the seattle consulate while american diplomatic workers have been seen leaving the u.s. mission in petersburg ahead of its official closure on sunday it comes after moscow's announcement on thursday to expel sixty u.s. envoys and shut down the diplomatic compound. in washington the russian ambassador to the u.s. senate tolly and gone off so off his expelled colleagues as they boarded a plane back to russia we can show you some of the very latest pictures of the russian diplomats returning and arriving in moscow forty six officials have now returned in what is the first batch and u.s. diplomats are also expected to leave russia soon in what moscow describes as a reciprocal measure. of experience. return to remain as yours include the

full should the number of u.s. diplomats and withdrawal of your consent for the u.s. consulate in some petersburg this will result the states are concerned we will always give amir a response for every russian diplomat kicked out from the two dozen or so countries one of their diplomats will be kicked out of russia almost all of those countries by the way either nato members or hopefuls the united states though may have to charter a jet sixty evidence diplomats have been ordered to leave russia the same kicked out by washington though with the u.s. consulate in. st petersburg is being closed down in response to the closure of russia's consulate in seattle and nearest spawn's no more no less and again moscow has called on the united states to stop it is proposed to us south or ities

inciting in fueling this merican pain against our country to rethink encouraged their reckless actions destroying bilateral relations with russia which remain clear denies any role in this poisoning says never before have we witness such mockery of international law it is also convened a special meeting of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons would be c.w. has sent technical experts to examine the substance with which the former russian double agent and his daughter were poisoned but their best the geisha will be technical. o.p.c. w. explosive arrived in london to analyze the substance used in the alleged poisoning of ambulance group this will only allow them to distinguish the chemical formula of the substance the o.p.c. w. technical secretariat doesn't have the mandate to verify the u.k.'s allegations by

the way the investigation into the case is still ongoing in the u.k. and its allies insist that russia was behind this russia then eyes any such thing and says that this entire thera is politically motivated there's been no investigation no trial no evidence only accusations which have taken a turn for the literary it's rather like the beginning of crime and punishment the really quite closely. i know man he was a tree full of ours at this point. where all confident about the identity of the culprit the only question is whether he will first confess or be caught specially for boris johnson the dust i ask you quote translated in english from a hundred tributes you can not make a horse one hundred suspicions don't make it proof boris johnson went on to cement

his case they make no bitch. we make light statements one is a hideous weapon specifically designed for assassination the other is a implausible theatrical prep with a mysterious buys me would know anybody opinion is divided on what exactly boris johnson meant or how exactly he hoped this would help his case but not everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and condemning russia for example nine hughes states abstain from taking action against moscow austria was among them with vienna saying london had been applying pressure when the situation gets stuff you have to keep channels open the u.k. ambassador to austria issued a demarche on wednesday in order to encourage us to take specific measures on saturday they demolish was repeated on monday while i was in kosovo the chancellor and i spoke over the phone about our position which is now public it's our tradition to bring people together especially in difficult situations another

development is that usually a script is now said to be awake and talking or there should hopefully provide a clue to the poisoning investigation which of course is still ongoing meanwhile russia's foreign ministry has called on the u.k. to respond to fourteen key unanswered questions. a presentation that sums up the basis for why the us. was leaked earlier this week with old. focusing on accusations against moscow they described.

while blaming russia for the attack the so-called evidence includes claims of previous activity by moscow such as. various global elections and also the. occupation of crimea now the british embassy in russia was quick to respond by. raising awareness about the case adding that the full version is now available online though the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman expressed. yes all the dogs from supposes the laughter we drew their attention to the publication of this presentation materials in the media the british foreign office thanked us on their twitter account but imagine that they've ignored for diplomatic knows we send them if they haven't informed us on the state of the russian nations are in doing it they have given us no information and they say that they feel there is no reason to

talk to russia but they saying to us and to lead our mindset this is a coordinated political warfare against russia it's global in scale and really has nothing to do with solsbury this is a political pretext just like the cut like the kind of accusations we've seen against syria on chemical weapons to ratchet up the pressure on moscow to discredit the recent russian election and also i think it's aimed at the world cup this summer look i don't think we go under and underestimate the degree of danger we're talking about here this is not just tit for tat this just not the are we in a new cold war or not this is extremely dangerous that with the crisis that is brewing internally within the e.u. i think there was the necessity to to somehow shift the terms of the debate to say it's not about what's wrong with brussels what's wrong with the e.u. it's what's wrong with the russians and i think this will simply increase the pressure on countries like bill garia like austria who don't don't want to go along with it all thanks for sharing your sunday with us here and joining us for the
