2:04 pm
over the floor running in fear and it could. they will do as to what was happening and that is when the gunman himself the chief suspect being a student an eighteen year old student at the college that's when he shot drunk walking down the corridors down the first and second floor shooting at faculty members at stop members as well as students seemingly indiscriminately nineteen people are reported dead more than seventy injured and from the perspective of the students it was truly a horrifying experience. even if you know those that have all those. nice. as well he was the father would be growing. by the who. i'm in love with the result i
2:05 pm
know if you are not but if he was that. do you want to see your little couture will you be really. psychologists are now working with survivors rescuers as well sifting through the college looking for more bombs that were reports that he had planted more there are reports of several explosions instead of one but it was really horrifying the terrible tragedy in kutch today the gunman themselves this was nothing spoken spontaneous yet planned the entire affair making the bombs go into all that effort it couldn't have been simple he got the gun legally from what we understand he applied for a license just a month ago and he got it a shotgun along with one hundred fifty rounds of ammunition that doesn't seem to
2:06 pm
have been a pats on the anything such that it just seemed a random killing he targeted everyone he came across his father is now being questioned by police he has been arrested though no charges have been level jet police of reka reclassified this from a terrorist attack which was suspected earlier in the day to a multiple homicide and we're still hearing more from witnesses. that he said he's been to the five or ten minutes after i left someone broken all the window glass was shattered after the whole explosion then someone was running about was shot guns or something opened all the class doors and killed everyone inside i could have been dead now all my coworkers were shot children died my colleagues our dad he was you know the injured children and college stuff were transferred by public transport and ambulances i heard a blog post and shooting
2:07 pm
a so people are lying with its hands and legs about thirty people conscious i was working not far from here and ran straight to this place everyone hoped. i live the first building of the college and went to the second i opened the door and heard an explosion and then the shooting started everyone started screaming there was panic everywhere i don't know what happened after that we ran then my friend and i tried to help but we weren't allowed. three days of mourning have been declared and condolences coming in from all over russia from abroad as well the investigation of course continues it's important not to jump to any conclusions there was a lot of conflicting information coming in germany during the early hours i'm sure the more important details that are going to come up going to emerge in the coming hours but for now we are on our way to the city itself traumatizes. and hopefully
2:08 pm
we'll find out more as to what happened. cost on the rag as the if with the latest from crimea thank you. now this incident occurred as putin was meeting gyptian president abdel fattah el-sisi insult our correspondent who has done off reports from the black sea resort to all of us journalists myself included gathered here in sochi for the meeting between the russian president vladimir putin and his egyptian counterpart but as we learned about tragedy and courage and as more and more details emerged that completely overshadowed whatever was on the agenda today so expectedly one of lattimer putin finally showed up in front of the media he opened with a statement on catch which. i want to express my deepest condolences to the relatives of those who have been killed i hope that all the victims will recover as soon as possible we will do everything we can to help them we already know this is
2:09 pm
a crime and we are looking deeply into the motives and versions of what's happened all the results of the investigation will be made public dear friends in memory of all the victims let's honor them with a minute signed by me i. i for bladder and putin showed journalists kind of briefly had wondered whether. or not vladimir putin cut his program short and traveled to courage himself i asked about this the press secretary of lattimer putin the trip is called and he said that well for now such reports can all be confirmed still. at least right now he's staying here in solitude and of course we can all just speculate as to what the reasons could be behind this but my colleague also a journalist here in presidential poll submitted his version of why you have
2:10 pm
a listen. the president will not go to college even a quick visit by the president will disrupt curch crimea and all its services and people need to work there provide help conduct an investigation the president goes so their work is not hindered indeed it could be just that vladimir putin letting all professionals on the ground in crimea focus on their work focus on what's important and that's saving lives and finding out what was behind the horrific massacre in. it was to attack or is believed to be a student of the college aged eighteen he was found dead in the building after apparently killing himself with a gun similarities have been drawn to another infamous attack carried out almost twenty years ago in a coach and it has the story two words that come to mind after wednesday tragic events copycat attack the scenario of the school massacre in the crimean city of courage as old but our carbon kopi off another school shooting that took place in
2:11 pm
the u.s. nineteen years ago columbine became the worst school massacre in america and perhaps an inspiration to a young shooter from crimea the similarities are chilling one of the columbine shooters and the crimean gunman are all of the same age only eighteen years old they were even dressed in similar black and white and they acted as if from the same playbook explosives placed in the canteen a serious of gunshots suicide. in the school library the difference there were two shooters in the columbine attack and they killed thirteen students the crimean gunman was acting alone but somehow he managed to kill evan more but what's even more disturbing he wasn't the first want to draw his inspiration from the columbine pair earlier this year two students attempted to carry out a similar attack and the city of perm they too were marched evasiveness by the american massacre the question is how many more will follow the gruesome example.
2:12 pm
former intelligence officer sean joins us on the line now from london. shootings when we've we've seen today in this case from what we know it seems like . the assailant was known to the authorities there wasn't any particular evidence suggesting that this person was likely to be aggressive is that any way that the
2:13 pm
talks like this can before when you have people like this. well it's very difficult and i think the step back from that question is the fundamental issue about how we approach and investigate these sorts of attacks across the world because as you rightly mentioned in the early reports these are school shootings that happened multiple times course america and it's very difficult to decide well might it be terrorism for what flavor might just be crime or anger and might it just be mental . i mean there seems to be a sort of blurring between the three issues like such as that that's been going on across the west certainly in particular in america over the last few years so when this story broke earlier i have to say it did sort of take me back to the beslan shootings and hostage taking in what two thousand and four and i did wonder if it's some sort of islamic extremist terrorist type incident but it does appear to be. a student going rogue so what is the what are the boundaries i think this is the
2:14 pm
discussion all our countries need to have what's the boundaries between terrorism and crime and mental health issues and that's what's not being addressed i think by many of our politicians. you spoke of some of the past shootings in schools in some of those cases students who are mentally vulnerable they've been bullied or they've been harassed by fellow classmates some were just under pressure from studies one has the think there were some signs that these people weren't. happy that there was some kind of warning signs but whose job is it to spot them and do something about it should we be looking at parents teachers is there anything that can be done. this is a very very interesting question as you're talking to a british person in the u.k. at the moment because you have a situation where there has been a discussion around this for the last twenty years almost about how to spot potential islamic terrorists and trying to ask people in schools and mental health and their families and communities to try and report people in might might be at
2:15 pm
risk and it's only in the last few weeks this in the u.k. it was announced that and i five was going to release a list of twenty thousand names to the sort of public bodies so that these public bodies can inspire and report back on the sort of people because they might be terrorists and i think the whole issue is you know people who are vulnerable people who might have a mental health issues people who come from bad backgrounds people who are just perhaps. damage to upset or angry can be radicalized in all sorts of ways not just the muslim islamic radicalization but also you know all sorts of other ways so i think this is what this society all our society's need to look at is trying to make a holistic approach to looking after young people to make sure that they are not honorable and they often will and they can protect it rather than go down a very dark path that could send the lives thanks for joining is my guess is an
2:16 pm
emotion for my five intelligence officer giving us her take on today's multiple homicide in the russian region of crimea thank you. for your six two states wrapped up a trip to turkey where he discussed the investigation into missing journalist mark or should she might bump those previous that was saudi arabia which has been accused of killing the man in its consulate in istanbul riyadh gave assurances to pompei i would fully cooperate in the probe. he made a commitment to. anyone connected to any wrongdoing that may be very proud of it without whether they are secure office or official they promised accountability for the future of those persons whom they determine as a result of their investigation so i would just yours accountability. for the country. and. it's. also. true.
2:17 pm
the saudi side again strongly denied any knowledge of what happened to the shoji is that in ny now a turkish led search operation was conducted at the consulate in istanbul access finally granted fifteen days after the journalist was last seen after the search turkey's president said investigators were looking into the possibility there had been an attempt to hide evidence by repainting the walls the case has attracted intense global media scrutiny. president trump is criticizing the condemnation of saudi arabia over the case of missing journalist jamal khashoggi presidents stunning statement as three sources tell c.n.n. that a high ranking officer with the saudi intelligence agency oversaw the saudis are now claiming was an interrogation and i shook the he want into a building in never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was saudi if shogi is dead said republican senator marco rubio today the
2:18 pm
u.s. must respond or it risks its own standing meanwhile politicians and media personalities say the saudis does of condemnation for much more than just the case how do you think president trump should respond if it's proven that the saudis were behind his disappearance if not murder one of the strong things that we could do is not only stop military sales not only put sanctions on saudi arabia but most importantly get out of this terrible terrible war in yemen led by the saudis why have our lawmakers in the media turned a blind eye to the atrocities committed against yemen every day by the u.s. and saudi arabia. on sunday an air raid mini buses in the key yemeni port of a killing at least fifteen civilians and injuring twenty others that is according to the united nations who fighters accuse the saudi led coalition of carrying out that attack
2:19 pm
a day that has recently become the most violent frontline in the three year long war in the country the saudi government said that it would investigate reports of civilian deaths because the adviser on the me good believes that the sale of weapons to the warring parties is only making the crisis worse. the numbers are very hard to grapple with thirteen million people on the brink of famine is one that should be compared to the entire population of countries where almost. you. are. going to hear many. parents don't know when they send their children to school whether to come home or whether the bombs will hit the school almost every aspect of the night. you want to have. some children recently with open wounds on their legs that they can afford to treat. the
2:20 pm
population this is a crisis that is entirely manmade and could have been avoided and could indeed be avoided if we saw some serious action from the parties to the conflict and the allies in the saudi led coalition including the u.s. and u.k. france germany and others. overall the u.n. claims the situation in yemen is catastrophic warming up to thirteen million people are facing starvation if the war doesn't and assume figure represents almost half the entire yemeni population the u.n. said we could see the worst famine for one hundred years with other aid agencies also raising the alarm. we are seeing huge amount of duplicity from powerful countries countries like the u.k. in the us are consistently throwing money at the problem of this humanitarian crisis in yemen helping us reach people with food and water but meanwhile they're profiting from the sale of weapons that are perpetuating the war it seems to me that there are political interests at play. overriding the in trysts. yemeni
2:21 pm
people so our question to those powers is jobs in the u.s. and u.k. more valuable than lives in. germany a kindergarten has courted controversy for promoting itself as a nursery with quote hardly any migrants the daycare center claims that its message has been misunderstood but it's attracted criticism for other promotional initiatives as well and she said he explains when hunting for a daycare center for your children what tops your list great teaching good can i start mr well how about hardly any migrants one can say gotten in the wealthy town of hamburg promoted just leaving some parents moved to fight in a promotional brochure they highlighted the following. of the families with a migrant background only a few take care they've since deleted the sentence was deleted one sentence that
2:22 pm
accurately describes the fight but there are only a few families with a migration background the kindergarten few families does not mean move families to the kindergarten also insisted it stands for inclusion and this is equally a pencil children of german origin and families with a migration background but that's not the kindergartens only statement true criticism it adds to the financial situation of parents living in the kindergartens area is excellent a large number of parents because you self employed activity such as lawyers doctors organizational consultants brokers business owners the backlash was quick to fall. yeah enough money you can do as much stay didn't get in until you have them let the stupid plagues mingle with you these are the nazis in the guise of clean pure democrats and bridge cheerleading mosque itself with an immigrant free daycare center in the villa neighborhood a socially leitz we decided to see what germans think about the issue as
2:23 pm
a mother i would never accept it i mean you should and you could use other ways to attract people is so wrong thing to do because if you don't know each other you can't work and live together you can only understand each other when you grow up together from the earliest moment people will have international careers to meet people from all of that evolved so i think it's. really really important it's already young people get different cultures different ways of living and so on it also parents favor a multicultural society when it comes to words under children this does bring attention to the proportion of need to know in the schools and so forth so there might be a discrepancy between what they say or do our daughter was in the kindergarten for spanish germans and so there were a lot of nations that even nations and germans together and they spoke spanish in
2:24 pm
german and in their god so she learned both languages thinking about everyone wants the best for their children but whether the best means having known my point classmates and why the school should be bragging about this issue is another matter altogether and. belin. ok let's take you through our major breaking news story this evening a gun and bomb attack on a college in crimea has left nineteen people dead and more than seventy others injured or all of the victims are from the local area russia's investigative committee reclassified the incident from a terrorist attack to murder three days of. warning of been declared in the region . the explosion about spoke about happened in the college's canteen and the device in question was packed with metal objects investigators are studying c.c.t.v. footage to find out more witnesses of reported seeing the suspect carrying a rifle is how events unfolded.
