yes and this is just. the deadly conflict between israel and palestinian militants shows no sign of letting up with hamas and the i.d.f. exchanging airstrikes as confrontations continue on the ground. so coming up is a day of mourning in the russian republic a time to stand after its capital because it was left really a devastating school shooting that killed at least 9 people including 7 children left more than 20 others injured. and with a gun ran into the classroom and started shooting people sort of teaching covered

in blood getting pulled out of school who were sitting in class their alarm went off and there was a message on the loudspeaker telling us to shut the doors and not leave the classrooms. surge of migrants arriving on an italian island sees probe asking for help with the econ decide what to do we hear from the madras lampedusa. there is this sort of ruthless campaign against immigration there is no program no projects no idea how to solve it everyone is wrong with the italian government and the e.u. as a whole. very good afternoon joining us here on r.t. international. today is a day of mourning in the russian republic of tatarstan as its capital khazan comes

to terms with that horrific mass shooting at a local school 9 people were killed most of them children more than 20 others were injured the site of the tragedy has become a makeshift memorial with thousands of locals commemorating those lost is a timeline of how the shocking events unfolded. and. also for the club key i was in the class on the 2nd floor we heard bangs the sounded like explosions 1st we closed 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 to look at something in the street a man with a gun ran into the classroom and started shooting people who didn't shelter

anything but before he did this heard an explosion right on to our classroom pasta that our teacher told us to hide under the desks. the feet didn't feel like this and you know what do you do. in the. morning and are you good for your life. yeah.

i feel really good i do not feel good i know what is the lure. he says he's from the bill of political when you are a sampling says emergency crews and fire trucks are at the. site later eyesore a teacher covered in blood getting pulled out of school and about 4 children being carried away. on the corresponding rug as there was been following the events from chris and he reports now on the day of mourning currently being observed in the city which is still in a state of shock well as you would expect the city's heart has been shattered to

days maybe a day of mourning but it lasted throughout the night as tens of thousands literally tens of thousands of people flocked 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 7 pupils as well as 2 teachers and the others 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 lost 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 as they. can simpatico as they jump 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 the cover of the teachers the clues not who put them through anyone we have frantic calls to parents you have parents all over the city literally sprinting running along streets the schools because messages that there may be attacks in other schools to safeguard they kids to get them out of classes to make sure everything's fine it was a scene of absolute chaos here and yesterday and things only calmed down towards towards the evening when the suspect was apprehended and authorities calm people down urging them to remain calm that everything is under control. obviously the 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 fear in terror of what what

happened what could happen you know all the rules and messages were frightening on live on the internet. and all the people here they had 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 have 2 kids myself 2 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 they're going to push ahead the news and burst into tears have 2 children one of them is a school boy and when i imagine what the children from the gymnasium went through i feel very bad. for you on the steps of the neighborhood is quite calm we did not expect we have very surprised that we had such an attack we can say that we are in shock i was at work people obviously now is on says this about

how this was allowed to happen why no red flags were raised but a 19 year old boy with a shotgun how he was given a valid real license how he possible the psychiatric tests the drug tests the medical evaluation the background check how 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 calm 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 for 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 of the work of law enforcement agencies nevertheless it is early to jump to conclusions the investigation has only begun but people here want to. because an shooting suspect has been identified as a 19 year old who was a former student of the school where the attack occurred the perpetrator used a pump action shotgun for which he had a legitimate license but the c.c.t.v. footage emerged online it turns out the suspect was brazenly carrying that shotgun all the way on his journey to school we take a look at our map here we can see the route that he reportedly used from his house to school a journey i believe to be just over 10 minutes in duration but questions remain as to why no passers by called the police to alert them surely somebody would have thought would have seen a student carrying a gun on a 10 minute journey it's just one of a number of issues the incident has 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 was 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 any 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 a very good and well mannered family i only had a good opinion of him. the russian human rights commission has 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. bullying we know at least in the research that i've conducted is the leading cause of gun violence in schools so bullying ribands retaliation and side effects of psychotropic medications have been found to be the predominant causes of violence

for and i think one of the most important thing is that we need to do as counselors as educators as parents as administrator is we really have to work to intentionally create a very safe school climate working together collaboratively with parents with teachers with administrators to really identify those students who may be withdrawn who may be quiet you may have struggled recent loss who may be a victim of bullying who may be struggling academically or they have behavioral issues and the more that people can come together and identify the work that we can be proactive rather than reactive and really reach out to and connect with the struggling students that we can provide them with resources and support that they need and hopefully ventra that violence from occurring what was it that motivated the individual copycat attack possibly but only if the individual was following

what was going on or reading about it and everything else and most copycat attacks tend to happen within the days weeks and months after a major incident so it's the police will be trying to do the got the individual secure and work out 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 more guns you have in a society the more likely you know 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 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. less comes in society the safer we all are it's no secret that you on the internet you can find out 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 have the

less likelihood that the sort of incident took place because of course we have an awful lot of people a with mental illness but also a lot of radical issues as well who might want to go out in a what they see is a blaze of glory. confrontation escalating towards a full scale war that's how the un's middle east peace envoy has described the recent conflict between israeli forces and palestinian militants the situation continues to spiral out of control with hamas and the i.d.f. exchanging 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. say.

it was. well at the moment there are several hot spots in the conflict gaza jerusalem tel aviv and loads and it's the latter of those here that has been the focus of some of the fierce fighting it's even led the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu to declare a state of emergency in the city in this mixed arab and jewish city 3 synagogues in yuma shops and cars were reportedly torched as intense rioting by the arab community broke out some residents reported power was cut in homes and petrol bombs

were thrown through their windows the local mayor is like in the situation now to a civil war is the 1st time the emergency powers have been used against the arab community in israel since the end of the military administration in 1986 and early on wednesday morning a rockets fell in love killing a man and child. well riots of also gripped the city of jerusalem for a 5th day in a row now the confrontation between palestinians and israeli police 1st began over restricted access to a key holy site during the month of ramadan as well as the possible addiction of palestinians from the homes in east jerusalem more than a 1000 palestinians have been injured in the past few days and east jerusalem. while hamas has fired hundreds of rockets towards television and its suburbs leaving at least one person dead according to israeli media reports let's get more on this story now by speaking to the producer. of park of

a. middle east correspondent paula slater both join is now we go 1st though to say you're in television see if this will just take you through what happened. what do you grow of rocket fire. into the steady from hamas in the past 12 hours or so the 1st round of fire happened on tuesday evening at around 9 pm and i was caught in the city when it happened and i was walking along the street and i was literally dragged into the shelter by the passer by so there is this protocol you have to follow when there is an incident like this happen when you hear a siren you have 90 seconds to get into the shelter so you have to locate the nearest shelter and get into this and they say you'll have to go quickly but

calmly the reason for this is because there are when people panic and run and they can stumble and injure themselves and i can tell you that when the siren goes off it's. you know you have this potential panic in your gut it's so loud and it's so. overwhelming and it's hard to stay calm but that's what you got to do. basically they were around. so that. roused all fire on tuesday night it lasted for about 30 minutes and that entire time i stayed in the shelter and i later learned that there were more than 100 rockets fired by hamas into television. and you know we've been expected that for at least 24 hours

because it all happened on monday night when hamas announced its fierce response and a barrage of rockets into the israeli territory but. at 1st they were mainly aimed at. it is on the border with gaza like ashkelon ashdod and they're on and on choose day they start it fire and into the israeli territory and they have the special app called red alert and it just shows you the citizens that have been hit at the moment and imagine that a rocket has been fired every 2 to 3 minutes so it was all over the place the entire day and then at 9 pm. television came under fire then we had another attack at 3 am and. then as we were all at home we were sleeping in and my bill dent has several shelters one is downstairs and it's always open now

for the people like me who are caught up in this on the street during the attack they can get into the building and into the shelter and there is one more office that's what the neighbors and several apartments in my building have a shelter room what it looks like is it's a normal room and it just has an iron curtain which you roll down. the window and then there is a huge massive metal door and you lock it and you steal it and then you are. completely sealed off like in a state. so this all happened this escalation happened in the past 2 days and yesterday benjamin netanyahu vowed and fierce response and so did hamas take a listen of us who've adjudged hamas and the islamic jihad have paid and will pay a very heavy price for their aggression. if israel wants to escalate and we are

ready for it and if it wants to stop we are also ready if they want to release their grip over jerusalem we are ready. of course this all happened. back in april when these reilley government announced and the fiction of the palestinians from the shady jara neighborhood in is jerusalem clashes have been erupting here and there mainly focused on temple mount and i like the compound in jerusalem but eventually it all spilled into the school out confrontation between israel and hamas. about it in a fairly moderate manner that the reality is that for most people being in the target area of a missile strike is not a normal existence going into a a bomb shelter is not everyday life what sounds terrifying what was it like for you from a personal point of view i was terrified i can tell you i was terrified i am a little bit of a news junkie you know like all of you guys probably so it was this mix of all my

god this is so exciting and oh my god this is so scary so. i was in the shelter and the good sin is that people around you they really come together so some of them brought water you know they were handed out bottles of water keeping you conversation. ok sadly looks like we've lost the connection with last year though if chance will go back to locally we have our middle east correspondent paulison there on hand the let's go to you now paula clearly it's a very tense situation and the rest breaking out in several different areas how does it look at the moment things escalating. and the bigger picture so is that things are right now things are a little bit quiet but in the early else it's morning there were strikes and there were tele 81 hits and it's hard to see and point where it stops where we finish

today more than 1000 rockets have been fired at israel and the israeli army confirms that it has responded what some 500 is strikes not it says that it is targeting specific what it calls terror locations and those are sites belonging to a mosque and the islamic jihad organization have been marching bands and yes well if it's if it has at least 50 you have mass members who have been killed but the figures we're getting from the health ministry in gaza suggest that most of those who are dying are 10 a skinny and civilians and the israeli army says this is because the rockets are launched some civilian neighborhoods we're hearing from the health ministry in gaza that 42 people have now been killed you created among them are some 12 children and civil sundra would have been injured. under some of the serious as to how those suppose i was with my brothers and there was an israeli bomb i think you were there

to rachelle when i saw the horrible scene of my brothers lying around i couldn't take it it was like a massacre so many people were coming to see what happened and there were no ambulances were medical aid to the scene confirms arbonne i'm shocked i can't believe it our children were playing in front of our house peacefully they were hit by a bomb after we heard it we rushed outside to find the children lying on the ground please stop killing our kids for. god sake what would they do if it was then children good enough is enough they've done enough to us we're not resistance fighters or militia we're not killing anybody we're peaceful citizens standing in front of our houses peaceful people who did not carry guns knives or weapons were they doing this to us. my kids were killed both of them move very young one was 11 and the other was 7 years old playing in the field they were playing any 30 meters away from me my nephews were playing with them too and

a young guy called who's getting married in a few days they were playing and i was calling them they were looking at me when suddenly i saw a missile landed right in the middle of them it's called my heart is broken i lost my heart along with my children god help me. now sirens have been sounding throughout the morning in southern israel communities they're all being evacuated hearing the stench of this role where i am the sirens sounded as you heard earlier at around 3 o'clock in the morning and they let their foot off the felt and that cave on later now people here have started moving to the north of the country they see that as a form of this might and they are planning on baucus and also not being able to fall into the country last night it was the last of the watch of rockets on the center of israel where i am in the neighborhood of give a tie and one of those rockets was insists it was an overt hit by the iron dome and missile defense system some of the fragments of that interstate to rocket cell over

this neighborhood not fossil real standing they landed on a house they injured 4 people with shrapnel and they are easy to keep it in hospital at the same time in a nearby town known as a whole lot a rocket landed in an empty box that bus was completely shot a number of people to the coast by what it needed that he waited and i think that the scene onstott the explosion. i'm just outside the israeli city of tel aviv in a town called hollow 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 off 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 $130.00 rockets fired by hamas and its says it was in retaliation

for israeli airstrikes so you can see here the glass has shattered on and number of businesses that line this road now this is exactly where the bulk of the rockets landed but now we also witnessing h.t.m.l. violence you see from cities across the country want to. and this is a city that is roughly some people seem to wish the same would have been in the process of being seen as a kind of hope that it would be radiometer to come into the city with the violence was so bad and that way some of the jewish residents of the area it's now a state of emergency and we have the same situation happening in other cities in the north of the country but also at the moment things are quieter but certainly people are very tense and as you heard here in obviously 5 minutes to. that gaza will hate dia twice for what has happened so him even the ground is so weak that

the situation is going to escalate and escalate like tenacity. thanks very much for the update on the middle east correspondent paula sleep we also just before that heard from the producer of park of the founder and leader of the palestinian national initiative that's mustafa barghouti has been talking about the escalating situation and the latest. going on the ground. the hoops problem which solves illegals which will solve all the problems and still this is coalition would be that is the. issue and i'll be honest used loosely are all dependents that would probably. bind us in $64.00 he is going to schools fully it is he that is the will allow us to have a suit of our own and the state solution as the world speaks or we should be allowed to live in one state was full democracy quotes work for its you have to choose either one solution or another but one thing they should know and the world

is that we as in you people will never accept to be slaves of occupation and updates that in my opinion the world has to stand up to its own civility and stab soup was there is mass you cannot be beautiful the national and is that all cannot be allowed to be above that national it has come to the like it was the other currency. austria a strongly rejected a plea for their you countries to take in migrant methley follow as a surge of arrivals to the island of lampedusa wanting 1000 mostly african migrants of race the island off italy southern coast overwhelming the reception center the local nearest plane how they're trying to deal with the situation for. more needs to 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 has arrived and is transferring my goods from the port to take them to a core unseen ship was. the impetus is one of the main landing points for people trying to get into europe from africa and the latest arrivals are supposed to be transferred elsewhere in italy but there's a lack of unity among a members on who will then take the refugees from their land but this is mayor again says that there's no help at present from brussels. and you seem to zoom in immigration so 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 you telling governments and the e.u. as a whole. you are buying up to date if you're hungry for more new stories don't forget you can find them by simply heading to our website check them out at r.t. dot com. l. look forward to talking to you. that technology should work for people. i really must obey the orders given to a human beings except where such orders to conflict with the 1st show your identification for should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point obviously is to create a trance. like. thing with artificial intelligence where some of the.
