us leah and tel aviv based on assia. i'm here in the city of give a tie in which is just outside tel aviv at the moment things are calm but it certainly hasn't been that great 24 hour was today we are hearing from the israeli army that more than a 1000 rockets has been fired at israel since monday evening and those walk it's have been topics in the o.t. as weight communities on the israel gaza border but also increasingly some of them into israel including same to israel where i am most people in the same type of constantly talking about millions hunkered down with you on shelves those overnight and although at the moment things are a little bit that single well they say he's still a tension in the air loss might say if obama gets exploded over to that wave and raving cities in neighboring tolerance the rockets that exploded here where i'm standing if it gets high in one block it's was interested to find these raids and

missile defense system in the regular job and fragments of that rocket fell on a house injuring 4 people not in the station where a rocket was fired tuning was into the city all along it struck a possible connection with us was into the bus when can he keep hussein's and just wait the last were carrying off looks nearby and completely then tossed a number of cars that had he was knocked in the boat there were at least a few people who live i stand those who were injured in that attack i reached the like haitian from now up to the rocket landed i'm just on science these radio 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 coated still 5 the israeli police now

3 people were injured at this location including a 5 year old. it was part of a barrage of some 150 rockets fired by him us and it says it was in retaliation for earlier 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 now the israeli army says it has responded with at least 500 strikes over the gaza and see if it mongo those killed 15 plus it is now we ought hearing from the gaza health ministry that the majority of those who have been killed in gaza and it is be receiving we see it it's getting close to children that the majority of them off civilians but the israeli army says that this is the place that's just choosing to the launched its lot of ways additional areas and in that

respect it has been bleeding lots are using its own. as human shields at the same time be on hearing that hundreds of the stadiums in gaza have been injured. my kids were killed both of them move very young one was 11 and the other was 7 years old playing amy they were playing only 30 meters away from me my nephews were playing with them too and a young guy called who was 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 land right in the middle of them got my heart is broken i lost my heart along with my children god help me have a choice as to how those i was with my brothers and there was an israeli bomb i think it was or 2 or a shell when i saw the horrible scene of my brothers lying around i couldn't say could it was like a massacre so many people were coming to see what happened and there were no ambulances or medical aid at the scene so phones are been i'm shocked i come

believe it our children were playing in front of our house peace. 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's sake what would they do if it was their children 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 now israeli arabs 60 swapper county have also seen confrontations one of the lowest has been not far from here in the city at large which is actually 50 say the jewish and the but it seems that the israeli army has now moved into the city it has to lead a state of the agency to urge you to wait some of the jewish residents of the city after they came under attack and off to their shop for the summer with the number of just raining still having still today to go listen to 6 you think you sold just

please hang this morning light hit by a rocket fired from gaza we ought to hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that must be paid twice for those horrid well apolo you are in a suburb of tel aviv right now but all it's he produced. is actually in the heart of tel aviv and i see you in the past 12 hours or so you really found yourself right in the thick of it didn't you. exactly you know we have drawer stocked with shield rollin's all the tax all the tele be from hamas that of course follows hamas is. by at a garage of rockets into the israeli territory on monday and 1st there were only. the southern state is on the border with gaza like ashkelon ashdod and they're all why don't you state that the entire country came under fire and i have this.

which is called red alert so it shows you exactly where the rockets landed and and imagine this every 2 minutes as far as rocket is being fired into the israeli territory so it's all over the place and on tuesday night prime minister benjamin netanyahu involved and fierce response to the attacks but so did hamas take a listen. judge hamas and the islamic jihad have paid and will pay a very heavy price for their aggression. if israel wants to escalate 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 it foremost and michael with collation between israel and the palestinians following the decision by the israeli government so if they expel us any answers from the shade jarrah neighborhood in east jerusalem on

a drill sense then clashes have been erupting here and there mainly focused on temple mount and alas the compound interest since then however they spilled into this confrontation between israel and hamas. is honest and you really live most of your life here in the russian capital you're actually a fairly new resident there in israel if you would just bring us to a personal level how was it for you personally in the middle of the night last night when you found yourself in the thick of it. rory i must tell you it was absolutely horrifying and well we knew this was coming and 7 24 hours before i got a contact from my of my build and telling me what exactly i'm supposed to do but. on tuesday night i was caught up in the city away from my children away from my shelter and i was walking along the street and i was actually dragged into the

shelter by a passer by when the siren goes off it's just the sound is overwhelming and it's all over the place and really main idea and this is what they tell you is not to rush not to run for shelter because this is how you can actually enjoy yourself because when people panic they start running and they fold they stumble and that's how they get injured so you have to proceed quickly but calmly. in the 90 seconds after you heard the siren go off and you have to stay in the shelter for about 10 minutes on tuesday night there was a barrage of attacks it was common on and on and on and it was like 6 attacks in 30 minutes so when i left you know you had this pinch of. panic in your god and it's really terrifying the 2nd attack happened on 3 am and i was home i will sleep. the good thing is that we have

a shelter room in our apartment it's actually all that wrong and what it looks like it is it's and normal room but it has this. coat on on the window you just roll it down and then you close the door and it's not a normal door you know it's like a stage though it's messy if it's either and you still it off you lock it and then you completely say. so this is this is what it's been like it's carrying it. today it's a beautiful day people go around. no late as normal as they can but having council children stay home and people try to keep ask loath to home as they can't in case they need to go into the shelter quickly because there is this feeling of hold an imminent attack and we don't know what's going to happen. in the evening the leader of the palestinian national initiative mustafa barghouti has been talking about the escalating situation though this discussion in the latest

episode of going underground their root problem which solves illegals which will solve all the problems and stop this is coalition would be that is the. issue and i'll boast used loosely they are all defendants the problem is that. since 63 it's just who is fully it is that israel will allow us to have a stooge of our own and 2 state solution as the world speaks or we should be allowed to live in one stoops was full democracy quotes good work waits you have to choose one solution or another but one thing that should more and the wallets of is that we as close to new people will never accept to be slaves of occupation and updates live in my opinion the world has to stand up to its consulates eat and stab soup was their only interest is must come up to be a beautiful international law and israel cannot be allowed to be above that most of the task of your account of the local is the other currency.

it is a day of mourning in the russian republic of tatarstan as its capital come to terms with a horrific mass shooting at a local school and 9 people were killed most of them children are more than 20 others were injured at the site of the tragedy has become a makeshift memorial now with thousands of locals commemorating those lost quickly here is a timeline of how the shocking events unfolded. and . let's look for the clip key i was in the close on the 2nd floor we heard bangs the sounded like explosions 1st because the caution 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 live on 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 we've heard an explosion right on to our classroom pasta that our teacher told us to hide under the desks. basically. to fit didn't feel like this and you know what do you do. in the. difficult. for you to put your life.

here i don't think you know you know what i know but it's still. it's just a piece from the liberal political news when you are 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. has been following the tragic events from cousin he reports now on

a day of mourning currently being observed in the city which of course is still in a state of shock well as you would expect the city's heart has been shot in the 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 digested the horrific attack yesterday long before their time long long before that top 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 have the sad 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 so all of that 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 pandemonium in chaos and panic as they jump from windows down 3 stories to get away from the chaos to get away from the shooting there's all sorts of videos online showing shouldn't how could down behind desks the teachers stand god next the barricaded doors with admissions shouting into the loudspeaker system for people to get in the cover of the teachers to clues dools not who put them for anyone. we have frantic calls to parents who 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 and authorities calm people down urging them to remain calm that everything is under control obviously that

people here many of them have kids many of them had kids yesterday in school so. they were concerned they were in theater in terror of look 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 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 flowers. when ahead of 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. on the stage this 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 what people obviously want now is. is about how this was allowed to happen why no red flags were raised when the 19 year old boy to 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 for a shotgun without raising any red flags this is a person who lives in the middle of a city why this person you know is right the squad is 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 catch 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 they're already huge shortcomings in the security at the school as well as perhaps people suspect shortcomings in the work of law enforcement agencies nevertheless these early to jump to conclusions the investigation has only begun but people here want to. because on to shooting suspect has been identified as a 19 year old he was a former student at the school where the attack happened the perpetrator used a pump action shotgun for which he actually had a legal license now after some c.c.t.v. footage emerged online it turns out the suspect was brazenly carrying the gun in the open all the way to school will bring up a map for you here on the program so you can get an idea of the route that he reportedly took from his home to the school just up here you can see on the right side of the screen it's a journey that took over just about 10 minutes but the question remains as to why

nobody called police to alert them there's a young man walking down the street with a fully loaded pump action shotgun so clearly it's one of a number of issues the a student has raised including what might have led the suspect to carry out such a violent attack and those who knew him said it went totally against his current. but i think 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 head in knowledge with any dubious people he was a good boy and also always so quiet he also held me in the past with the tonsil 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 at being in of him but russian and human rights commission has now proposed raising the age for owning a firearms license from 18 to 21 i don't like of the tragedy because i know we've debated the broader issues surrounding gun control mental health and of course the

targeting of schools. well and we know at least in the research that i conduct air is the leading cause of gun violence in schools so bullying ravana's retaliation and side effects of psychotropic medications have been found to be the predominant causes of school violence 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 most copycat attacks tend to happen within the days weeks and months after a major incident so it's the police who are trying to do the got the individual secure it work on 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 all those motivations more guns you have in a society the more likely 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 extremely and if you give these people guns you've got to inspect at some

stage things are going to go wrong so you. less nuns in society the safer we all are it is no secret that you go 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 likely codes that these 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 and each of us as well who might want to go out into what they see as a blaze of glory or thanks for joining us here on r.t. international still plenty of stories to come here on the program when we return in a half an hour's time you can join us. 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. new york is really what america is about. when our mayor took office he was elected because of his campaign on our city being a tale of 2 cities that have been has not and those who have not are usually the ones who wind up being very hard out of the city has always wanted to forget about iowa city has wanted to forget about the people who are buried there wanted to forget about the fact that there is a potter's field but there is a place where difficult stories are hidden the fact they were using inmates to maintain this act is burial site where 1000000 souls are buried where so much of new york city history is buried is document of the inequality that existed in the

city for centuries. high national accounting you're watching a brand new season of going underground is reports of hundreds of palestinians killed or wounded from jerusalem to gaza reach of london and washington mandating hundreds of millions of dollars of military sales to his rail in but you will talk to the former director of britain's opposition labor party about electoral defeat and zionism post corbin amidst the opening of parliament here but now let's go straight to jerusalem to speak to the leader of palestine party dr mustafa barghouti thank you so much worse of a for coming on 1st of all your take on the events of the past 72 out

well it's a very. few issues actually because we have seen still issues still we should. we have seen exchanges between lizard. people in gaza what sort of there is a substantial number of palestinian. children and one of their children this is this is he was killed under his mother was cute and most of the turks not happy that used the civilian areas that aid leaves turkey houses normal people well israel says it is targeting its warplane the aerial bombardment of communist of gaza and something using the rubber coated steel bullets and is merely responding as you as you know to hamas rocket fire what do you think about the fact that there.
