today's a day of mourning in the russian republic of tatarstan as its capital has come to terms with the mass shooting at a local school 9 people were killed most of them children or more than 20 others were injured sides of the tragedy has now become a makeshift memorial with thousands of locals commemorating those lost is a timeline of how the shocking events unfolded. let's look for the clip key i was in the close on the 2nd floor we heard bangs that sounded like explosions 1st because the classroom doors and not let the children get near the windows we told them to sit down along the walls and try to calm them

down your thoughts on the student a man with a gun ran into the classroom and started shooting people he didn't shell to see but before he did this was heard an explosion right on to our classroom after that our teacher told us to hide under the desks and. the feet in feel like this you know it was a nice little. part. of the car you can afford it like.

you feeling like you know you look good on your part but it's still. just see something a little political when you're a sampling says emergency crews and fire trucks are at the. sight later i saw a teacher covered in blood getting pulled out of school and about 4 children being carried away. down to our correspondent has been covering the story for us from the scene of the

attack in his arm around guess dear joins me on the line good morning and i can see what appears to be a lot of people laying flowers some kind of memorial being set up there how are people reacting today well as you would expect the city's heart has been shattered today is maybe a day of mourning but it lasted throughout the night as tens of thousands literally tens of thousands of people flock to these small makeshift memorials. burying them with flowers with toys and memory of those who had died yesterday in the horrific attack yesterday long before that long long before that top 7 pupils as well as 2 teachers many others are still in hospital 20 people are still in hospital several of them in here if you condition i mean if you read the list of injuries you can understand what sort of nightmare took place in this school yesterday as a 9 year old for example with multiple gunshot wounds shotgun wounds to the chest

who last 3 liters of blood is fighting for his life while in the us as well as others who have gunshot wounds to their backs to their legs broken hips costume tropical cuts to the face and neck because they had to move in human carol simpatica as they jumped from windows down 3 stories to get away from the kids to get away from the shooting there's all sorts of videos online showing shouldn't hunkered down behind desks the teachers stand god next to barricade the door with admissions shouting into the loudspeaker system for people to get in to cover the teachers to clues those not to put them through anyone we have frantic calls to parents you have parents all over the city literally sprinting running along streets to schools because messages that there may be attacks in other schools to save god they can't get them out of classes to make sure. it was a scene of absolute chaos here in yesterday and things only calmed down towards

towards the evening when the suspect was apprehended in authorities calm people down urging them to remain calm that everything's under control obviously that people here many of them have kids many of them had kids yesterday in school so they were worried they were concerned they were in theater in tara what what happened and what could happen you know all the all the messages were frightening online on the internet. and all the people here they are here to express their support for those who are still fighting for their lives in hospital and again for those who lost their lives in the tragic attack that took place yesterday. i haven't seen kids myself to sons what can i feel now i feel awful i came here from the other side of town just so i could see this place so i could place into one flower. when i had the news i burst into tears have 2 children one

of them is a schoolboy and when i imagine what the children from the gymnasium went through i feel very bad. for you on the stage this neighborhood is quite calm we did not expect very surprised that we had such an attack we can say that we are in shock i was a. people obviously now. is about how this was allowed to happen why no red flags were raised when a 19 year old boy with a shotgun how he was given a valid real license how he passed all the psychiatric tests the drug tests the medical evaluation the background check out this person was able to buy 350 reportedly 350 rounds of ammunition shotgun without raising any red flags this is a person who lives in the middle of a city why this person you know is described as intelligent. quiet without without any sort of red flags what pushed him to carry out this this inhuman act. and what authorities are going to do about it you know 3 years ago i

reported from get but another school shooting took the lives of unfortunately many more children and people thought that lessons had been learned security had been established by law schools all over the country and yet there are gaps gaps in security there already huge shortcomings in the security at the school as well as perhaps what people suspect shortcomings in the work of law enforcement agencies nevertheless it is early to jump to conclusions the investigation has only begun but people here want to. correspondent reporting from today's memorial scene that's my guest here. and she suspects him around was talking about there a moment ago has been identified as a 19 year old it later came to light that he was a former student at the school where the attack occurred the perpetrator used a pump action shotgun for which he had a legal license after c.c.t.v.

footage emerged online it turns out the suspect was brazenly carrying that shotgun all the way on his walk to school we can take a look at the routine reportedly took from his house to the school it was a journey that would have taken just a little over 10 minutes but questions remain why no passers by he must have seen this court didn't call the police didn't alert anybody there was somebody walking around with a gun it's one of a number of issues the incidents raised including what might have led the suspect to carry out such an attack those who knew him said it went completely against his character. but we met this boy before he's our neighbor and i remember his face i noticed that he had a very intelligent appearance he was a very tidy i've never seen him heading out with annie dubious people he was a good boy and also always so quiet he also held me in the past with the tartar language i don't know why he became like this i don't know what happened to him

they are a very good and well mannered family i only had the good opinion of him. the russian human rights commission is now proposed raising the age for owning a firearms license from 18 to 21 in light of the tragedy because we debated the broader issues surrounding gun control mental health and the targeting of schools. what was it that motivated the individual copycat attack possibly but only if the individual was following what was going on and reading lots about it and everything else most copycat attacks tend to happen within the days weeks and months after a major incident so it's the police all of them only trying to you know the got the got the individual secure it work you know what his motivation was behind carrying out the attack and then trying to identify if there's any way that they could have put mechanisms in place or could still put mechanisms in place to transfer those motivations happening elsewhere the social problem is child and adolescent mental

health and that in i think all countries to be fair that it is lacking in considerable degree significant control of firearms within a population. makes them or less available to a very significant degree if you have fewer firearms circulating that is less likely that they're going to fall into the hands of somebody. who is one of the very very very few people that might consider doing something like this and walk ons you have in a society that more like you are to have these kind of incidents and of course we've got an awful lot of people with mental illness of one form or another or they have extreme views and if you give these people guns you've got to expect at some stage that these are going to go wrong so you know the less guns in society that the safer we all are it is no secret that you go on the internet and i know what to do and how to do it and this is a this is

a problem for all societies and that's why i say before the less guns you know the less likely codes the sort of incidents are going to take place because of course we have an awful lot of people a with mental illness but also a lot of radicalized which is as well who might want to go out and what they see is a blaze of glory. do stay if you can with r.t. throughout the day will be continuing our coverage of this tragic event as our correspondent will be heading to the local hospital to bring us the latest from there as the region reels from the impact of that mass shooting. a confrontation that's escalating towards a full scale war that soured the un's middle east peace envoy described the recent conflict between israeli forces and palestinian militants the situation continues

to spiral out of control with a mass in the i.d.f. exchange of more than a 1000 rockets for a 2nd day in a row 5 israelis and at least 35 palestinians have been killed since the cross border flare began. still. up. just outside the israeli city of tel aviv in a town called hold on where a short time ago a rocket landed and as you can see there is glass on the floor and there is a bit of destruction the whole area has been closed stalls by the israeli police now 3 people were injured at this location including

a 5 year old child it was part of a barrage of some 150 rockets fired by him us and it says it was a machete ation foot earlier israeli airstrikes so you can see here we gloss has shattered on a number of businesses that line this road now this is exactly where the bulk of the rocket landed it comes as the israeli government urges people in the center of the country to remain in their bomb shelters overnight and this comes as hamas threatens to increase the number of rockets that it is launching at israel the situation on the ground remains tense driving here they were very few cars on the road so people are edge here into that call not to leave the bomb shelters at the same time the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has stated he will increase the mice and frequency of israeli airstrikes and we hearing from the israeli

for it and if it wants to stop we are also ready if they want to release their grip over jerusalem we are ready. the founder and leader of the palestinian national initiative that's been stuff of barghouti has been talking about the escalating situation in the latest episode of going underground. you know who would problem which the solving of which will solve all the problems and still this is coalition would be that israel if they should and i'll post used loosely they're all dependent state that with problems that israel is buying us in 60 fortieth's letters jools full here is that israel will allow us to have a state of our own and there are 2 state solution as the world speaks or we should be allowed to live in one state was slow democratic rights to tell you what rights they have to choose either one solution or another but one thing they should know and the world is that we as well as in you people will never accept to be slaves of

the patient and updates live in my opinion the world has to stand up to its just possibility and stab soon too as their illness is not as you cannot be in punitive to international law and israel cannot be allowed to be above international task of your account of the like it was the other currency. so to tell the south a place for help calling on death is a surge of fighters arriving i'm going to tell you how i learned things rome asking for assistance for the new countries can't decide what to do on that. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a made of the shallows. america's had a long and contentious history with the word socialism for conservatives most often it is a dirty word even unpatriotic for many liberals it's about social justice and compassion however for better or worse it remains a red line within the elect. welcome

back austria has strongly rejected a plea for other e.u. countries to take him migrants from italy there follows a surge in arrivals to the olive lampedusa well the 2000 mostly african migrants have reached the island off italy southern coast they've overwhelmed the reception center that the local merrick's play and how they're trying to deal with the situation. it's too much especially because there are quarantine ships and they cannot dock imports because of the wind bad weather and rough sea there are many difficulties already and if the ships cannot take migrants in quarantine it becomes even more difficult because our island cannot accommodate more than 250 people and there are already over a 1000 however we are working to ease the pressure that has arrived and is

transferring mogas from the port to take them to a core unseen ship. lumber this is one of the main landing points for people trying to get into europe from africa the latest arrivals are supposed to be transferred elsewhere in italy however there is a lack of unity among e.u. members on who then will take the refugees on from that produces better again says there is no help at present from brussels. and this is to zoom in immigration to brussels is perceived differently to how we experience it in italy until now brussels has only been interested in refugees not economic migrants whenever we talk to brussels they don't want to hear about economic migrants but at least 90 percent of the people arriving on our shores of just economic migrants so how is it possible to solve the problem if we do not look at immigration globally the problem of immigration has never been properly addressed neither by the italian government nor by the european government so no there is this sort of ruthless campaign against immigration there is no program no project no idea how to solve it everyone is wrong with the italian government and the e.u.

as a whole. amid mounting criticism that it's not being tough enough when it comes to issues of security the french government has announced a new plan and the prime minister's hoping the move will get the police unions off his back violence against the security forces will now become specific offenses more severely punished and refusal to comply which is often responsible for killings or serious injuries will be punished more severely. the move came following pressure from angry police unions who have been demanding action in the last month security services have lost 2 of their own here in france one in a terrorist attack and another shot dead you see trying to stop a drug deal but for some this latest offering still isn't enough. the prime minister says we are going to protect the police and take action so then from violence great behind this there is

a huge problem an economic problem and the political problem concerning the security of the public in some areas and your thoughts of the state the government is trying to convince is that everything is fine the police are happy but we're not convinced in reality we are trying to prevent revolt. french lawmakers have recently pushed through a global security bill which the government claims would protect police officers from online violence it's prompted criticism that elements with tail human rights while it's been welcomed by the police unions not all are convinced it goes far enough. in the last 4 years we have seen so many tragedies in bordeaux a woman was burned to death by a husband we had attacked some police officers with stones thrown at them drivers that were killed in all of this is daily life in france and the government has failed to ensure the security of the public the state is governed by mr a mr marquand and they have quite simply failed what can mr mccollum mystical

sticks do not so much just 6 months before the presidential campaign gets underway in fact it's already too late. contempt for the current administration's policies have also see through into the forces this week serving french soldiers once again the state of play in the country thousands signed a letter supporting a warning that pain last. the retired officers that france has been brought to the brink of a civil war even compared president grackle and his government to wartime nazi collaborators the cry of alarm from our elders for 1st a more distant coasts our elders are the resistance fighters of 940 people like you very often treated as factious and who continued to fight while the league list transfixed with fear were already betting on concessions with evil to limit the

damage the government is. this latest interjection well democracy sort of democracy it is the people who decide does it show courage to be anonymous when you want to be courageous you give your name the situation is so serious that some polls are suggesting 60 percent of security services or use their vote next year to support the national rallies marine le pen in any runoff with a manual macaroon and it seems that these issues over security are backed by the french public and the poll showed 73 percent of respondents to that agree that france was disintegrating security is a top issue is france heads towards a presidential election the idea that mcewan's government has seemingly lost the faith of those whose jobs it is to protect the country is a very worrying development jollity even ski r.t.
