east correspondent paula and tel aviv based produce a pack of. 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 these wait on me that more than a 1000 rockets has been fired at israel since monday evening and those walkouts have been topics in iraq though he's way communities on the israel gaza border but also increasingly close to them into israel including same to israel where i absolutely most people in the same type that continue talking about millions hunkered down if you bomb 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 full well that 6 below did over to that wave and neighboring cities and neighboring towns the rockets that exploded here where i'm standing if you keep it tidy and one block it's was interested to find the

israeli and missile defense system in the running joke and fragments of that rocket fell on a house injuring people not in the facia and where a rocket was fired team was into the city all along it struck a possible connection the bus was into the bus one kiki explains and destroyed the lawsuit and off looks nearby and completely then toss a number of cars that had he would talk to the boat there were at least a few keyhole what i stand is who were injured in that attack i reached the like haitian i'm now up to the rocket landed i'm just on science these radio city of tel aviv in a town called cologne where a short time ago a rocket landed and as you can see there is loss 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 130 rockets fired by him us and it 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 now the israeli army says it has responded with at least $500.00 strikes over gaza and it's safe that those killed 15 plus it is now we ought hearing from the gaza health ministry that the majority of those who have been building cars and figures be receiving we see it including herself children the majority of them off civilians but the israeli army says that this is the place hamas is choosing to the launched its rockets among residential areas and in that

space it has been bleeding lots for using its old as human shields at the same time the op hearing that hundreds of palestinians 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 in the they were playing only 30 meters away from me my nephews were playing with them too and a young guy called maid 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 on some of the churches didn't have as i was with my brothers and there was an israeli bomb i think it was or 2 rachelle when i saw that 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 or medical aid to the scene so the confirms i've been i'm shocked i come

believe it our children were playing in front of our house peace for. they were hit by a bomb after we heard it we rushed outside to find the children lying on the ground police talk 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 arab cities for opportunity have also seen in taishan is one of the lowest has been offered here in the city at large which is actually just to say the jewish and but the city was the israeli army has now moved into the city it has decreed a state of the agency it had to use that to wait some of the jewish ways that the city after they came under attack and off to their shops forgot what the number of

just rain and still have been killed to date was actually succeeding commutes soldier has had the small warning lights by 8 was fired from gaza we are hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that must be paid the price 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 asio in the past 12 hours or so you really found yourself right in the thick of it didn't you. exactly yes we have drawn a stop with childe rowland over tax always however you from hamas that of course follows hamas is barlow. by at a garage of rockets into the israeli territories on monday and 1st there were only a 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.

air which is called red alert so it shows you exactly where the rockets landed and and imagine this every 2 minutes that far iraq it is being fired into the israeli territory so it's all over the place and on tuesday night prime minister benjamin netanyahu vollard and fierce response to the attacks but so did hamas take a listen. hamas and the islamic jihad have paid and would 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. foremost and michael is collation between israel and the palestinians following the decision by the israeli government to evict

palestinians from the shade neighborhood in is jerusalem on a drill sense then clashes have been erupting here and there mainly focused on temple mount and a lax a compound interest allowed since then however they spilled into this confrontation between israel and hamas. as i understand 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 group 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 leave 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 set running and they fall 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 it's really terrifying the 2nd attack happened on 3 am and i was home i will

sleep. the good friend is that we have a shelter room in all apartment it's actually all that's 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 him 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 iran you still it off you lock it and then you completely say. so this is this is what it's been like it's scary. today it's the beautiful day people go round. you know like as normal as they can but still talking council children stayed home and people try to keep ask loath to hold as they can in case the meet to go into the show quickly because there is this feeling hold an imminent attack and we don't know what's going to happen. in the evening. it is a day of mourning in the russian republic of tough sort of stuff as its capital

comes to terms with a mass shooting at a local school and 9 people were killed most of them children while more than 20 others were injured the site of the tragedy has become a makeshift memorial now with thousands of locals commemorating those lost he was a timeline of how the shocking events unfolded. and. let's look for the club key i was in the close on the 2nd floor we heard bangs the sounded like explosions 1st we closed 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 look at the student 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 after that our teacher told us to hide under the desks. in the field to feel like this if you know if you know he loved you. and. if. not more for your good for your life.

you're only going to look good i'm going to publish the yeah. 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 isaura teacher covered in blood getting pulled out of school and about 4 children being carried away. r.t. is made out because there has been following the tragic events from cousin he reports now on the day of mourning currently being observed in the city which of course is still a state of shock. well as you would expect the city's heart has been shot at today's

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 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 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 one of the 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 had to move 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 for the admissions shouting into the loudspeaker system for people to get in to cover up the teachers to clues those nor do them for anyone we have frantic calls the 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 safeguard their kids to 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's 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 theater in terra avoid what

happened and what could happen you know all the all the 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 flowers. when i had 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. that 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 what people obviously want now is. 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 passed all 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 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 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 gets 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 at schools all over the country and yet there are gaps gaps in security 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 these early to jump to conclusions the investigation has only begun that people here want to. shooting suspect has been identified as a 19 year old he was a former student of the school where the attack happened he used a pump action shotgun for which he had a legal license now after c.c.t.v. footage emerged online it turns out the suspect was actually brazenly walking down the street carrying the gun all the way to school we can bring up a small map for you here on this big screen on the program basically to give you an idea he walked all the way from his house approximately 10 minutes towards the school the questions remain however how did nobody call the police how did nobody even see this young man walking down the road with a big pump action shotgun it's one of a number of issues the incident has raised including what might have led the suspect to carry out such an attack in the 1st place because the people who knew

him they say this was totally 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 head and now it was annie dubious people he was a good boy and also always so quiet he also held me in the past with a tartar language i don't know why he became like this i don't know what happened to him at very good and well mannered family i only had a good at being in of him. a senior french politician is calling for much tougher immigration rules i'm michele bachmann who was formerly the e used chief negotiator of a portaloo considering a run of the french presidency so as the blocks migration system is no longer working well it's across live to our europe correspondent now peter all over here peter it's been a more than 5 years since europe's migrant crisis erupted in the 1st place apparently still no solution in sight

yes well michel barnier for 4 years heard well billing is one of the most recognizable faces in european union politics he was the the a hughes chief breaks it negotiator he just turned 70 earlier this year that counts him out for any future position in the european commission and he's been widely touted as potentially a candidate to run against a manual mark on in next year's french presidential elections he's been speaking about the e.u.'s migration policy a migration policy he doesn't see as being fit for purpose as it stands at the moment in fact mr barnier going as far as to say that he wants to see with the exceptions of students and refugees coming to the e.u. he wants to see a ban on all migration to the european union for 5 years. i think we have to introduce a moratorium on immigration in this country we need to take time to check you

valuate and if necessary change our immigration procedures and practices of course we will always welcome students this is one of the driving forces of french universities there is also an issue of refugees and their right to asylum that we always have to respect well should this be part of an attempt to launch a bid to replace a manual mark on could well be an attempt to try and woo woo voters away from the far right and marine le pen per national rally party currently polling pretty much neck and neck with the manual mark wrong with just under a year to go until that french election the idea of being strong on migration may well be an attempt to draw voters away from her party that may agree with those policies 'd but don't want the well the closeness the baggage that comes with the far right it's not just mr barney that's been talking about this the european

commission also this week saying that their migration plans have not kicked into gear as swiftly as they'd wanted and they're behind schedule for where they wanted to be but looking ahead to next year to 2022 if michelle bonnie 8 throws his hat into the ring for the french presidential elections we could well see migration being front and center to see who's going to be taking office in the elite is a palace all right our europe correspondent peter all of us live in bergen thanks peter well it's been a busy day for your worldwide headlines here on r.t. international many more still to come at the top of the hour keep in mind if you missed anything on air you can always catch it on line our website our to talk.
