11:06 am
now the usa has grabbed headlines by not taking a clear side in the conflict but instead calling on both sides to engage in a safe zone of hostilities the call for restraint and for calm israel has the right to defend itself and to respond to rocket attacks the palestinian people also have the right to safety and security justice really still now this balanced approach being put forward by the united states is certainly not welcomed by israel the usa is a longtime ally it is impossible to put in the same message statements by
11:07 am
israeli leaders who call for calm alongside instigates is and terrorist organizations that launch missiles and rockets now donald trump has been mocking joe biden on twitter and saying that the reason for these events is that his strategy for dealing with the middle east was abandoned and that the biden administration is essentially revealing it has no clear strategy for dealing with the israel palestine conflict at this point people are looking at the biden administration questions are being raised about whether or not the usa is really a faithful ally of israel other questions are being raised about whether or not the biden administration has a clear outlook toward the middle east or a clear strategy to implement in these events and i doubt he's killed them off and thank you so during tuesday's israeli airstrikes 2 residential tower blocks were raised to the ground a local correspondent got me on the god he sent us this report from the scene. this is a 2nd high rise in gaza city that was destroyed by israeli warplanes in
11:08 am
in yesterday's attacks by the israeli warplanes on the gaza strip this building contained offices 4 institutions for some organizations including the islamists ruling the mass policy and gaza and now israel of this is a threatening to destroy more buildings a number of buildings have been reported to have been warned against eminent destruction by the israeli army and now the people of gaza are fearing more fierce and tough attacks by the israel is our goal to take a place sooner or shortly so the situation here is very tense and very complicated to the extent that the people here in this to of observing the occasion of the eagle foot are following the holy month of ramadan
11:09 am
are going actually in actual terms to observe more and this is likely by the way more attacks by the israelis and more exchange of fire in gaza and israel this is indicated by the fact that palestinians and israelis have not yet reached any kind of a cease fire deal or restoring calm to the territory even there was an intervention by international parties and by mainly by the neighboring egypt by egyptian officials and still both parties are not talking a truce but only only the guns are the ones whose voices are very loud at this very particular moment of palestinian lives. so it's not right now it's one in 10 minutes past 6 pm here in moscow it's

11:13 am
from the gaza health ministry that the majority of those who have been killed wasn't because be receiving we did it's getting close to children that the majority of them off civilians but the israeli army says that this is the place is choosing to the launch its rockets from among raise additional areas and in that respect it has been waiting months for using its own people as human shields at the same time we are hearing that hundreds of palestinians in gaza have been injured. my kids were killed both of them were very young one was 11 and the other was 7 years old playing in the field they were playing only 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

11:15 am
confrontations one of the bullets has been off again in the city at large which is actually just say what you wish and be the fix it was the israeli army has now moved into the city it has to create a state of the agency it had to get that kuwait some of the jewish ways again for the city to be after they came under attack and off to their shops were some god was there and the number of just raining schools have been killed to date now risen to 6 you think you expect soldiers whose tank the small warning light hits by a rocket fired from gaza beyond hearing on the israeli prime minister things were not turned you off and that must be a deal twice for those horrid well apolo you are in a suburb of tel aviv right now exactly you know we have drawer stocked with cheel rollins overtax all with hello being from hamas that of course follows hamas is. why out of
11:16 am
a rash of rockets into the israeli territory on monday and 1st there were only. southern state is on the border with gaza like ashkelon ashdod and they're all why don't you state. 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 vollard a few us response to the attacks but so did hamas take a listen. hamas on 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
11:17 am
their grip over jerusalem we are ready. foremost and michael with collation between israel and the palestinians following the decision by the israeli government so if they expel us any answer from the shade jarrah neighborhood in is jerusalem on a drill sense then clashes have been erupt and here and there mainly focused on temple mount and alexa compound in jerusalem 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 the 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 24 hours before i got a contact from my from the super of my build and telling me what exactly i'm
11:18 am
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 start 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
11:19 am
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 thing 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 iron coat on on the window you just roll and 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're completely safe so this is this is what it's been like it's scary. today it's a beautiful day people go around. 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 they need to go into the show quickly because there is this
11:20 am
feeling of an imminent attack and we don't know what's going to happen. in that you know. funny posture in moscow 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 while more than 20 others were injured the site has the tragedy i should say has become a makeshift memorial with thousands of locals commemorating those lost here's a quick 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
11:21 am
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 tried 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 we heard an explosion right on to our classroom after that our teacher told us to hide under the desks. the feet if you like to say you know what do you look. in. your body. but more and more you're going from going to like.

11:25 am
children were coming to us psycho's just instantly stepped in they're still working beside psychologists or psychiatrists working with parents and of course all children also receive psychological assistance what happened in that whole. it was truly horrendous was beyond words in the squabble but we've learned from the traumas of the kids that here what exactly happened some of them were shot and then in desperation panic tried to jump out of windows we know many kids here who have both gunshot wounds and trauma from the full jumping out of the 3rd story windows broken back and legs broken hips we know of other kids to jump through through glass they have lacerations to their faces to their bodies truly horrendous injuries we also know of records of amounts of people thousands and thousands of people inside who went to blood donation centers tend to give blood full manner of
11:26 am
reasons from it's the right thing to do to hope that their plasma could save one of those kids' lives. i'm going to be can block for the 1st time i took a day off on purpose and came here to help all those children in need. i have been constant care blood donor and yesterday's attack is yet more proof that it's important and besides this is my duty. not the 1st time i'm giving my blood and today i'm here because of the yesterday's incident it overwhelmed me and i just want my luck to help someone. today officially is a day of mourning here it is out in throughout the even the night thousands and thousands of people went to pay their respects the queue silently the wait to be let through to the school to all the memorials that have been set up that lay flowers and put down towards pérez pay their respects to all those who lost their
11:27 am
lives in the tragedy yesterday but also to offer prayers for those who are still alive but many who are still fighting for their lives in critical condition in hospital also to pay their respects to the to the teachers who behaved by all accounts most admirably in the face of such catastrophe when disaster struck as the shooter went on his rampage the headmistress went on to the loudspeaker system shouting for all the teachers the local doors to barricade themselves in classrooms to open the doors for no one and to put the kids to line them up huddled them down behind desks near the walls away from the windows and banged on doors we've learned she walked down the corridors demanding to be let in there a video showing teachers standing by the doors blocking the entrance with their own bodies and one of those teachers is not about paid with her life when the gunman burstein apparently according to witnesses shot her twice and then turned his gun
11:28 am
on the kids that was where the worst of the massacre took place in a year 8 classroom she was an english teacher and my last post on instagram was how happy she was with her life the city bid farewell to her today. she was a great student very kind very ambitious and responsible she's been heading towards this child for all her life it was short but still the ultimate goal was this child and this is a big loss for our university because our not so many people like who want this job so badly and want to educate on children. she was a very nice person very calm never argued with anyone she always helped parents so very good person because he's absolutely devastated community is grief stricken you know the city's heart has been has been shattered but aside from grief terrible grief there is also anger people wanted
11:29 am
a month to month to know how this happened how this was allowed to happen how the shooter few under the radar how he was given a valid license and why no red flags were raised when he bought hundreds of rounds of ammunition in the middle of a city again it's too early to jump to conclusions but it is evident at this point that there were shortfalls in security at the school and perhaps and we should all governing. the shooting suspect has been identified as a 19 year old he also was a former student of the school where the attack happened he used a pump action shotgun for which he had a legally obtained license now after c.c.t.v. footage of most online it turns out the suspect was actually brazenly carrying the gun in the open all the way to school or bringing up a map for you here on the program so you can understand he he basically walked from his home approximately 10 minute journey from his home here to the school however questions remain as to why nobody called the police nobody alerted them perhaps
11:30 am
nobody even saw the boy 1000 years old walking down the street carrying a loaded pump action shotgun as one of a number of issues the incident has raised including what might have led the suspect to carry out such an attack and those who knew him said it went totally against his character. but it's a group 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 had a knowledge with any dubious people he was a good boy and was always so quiet he also held me in the past with a tonsil language i don't know why he became like these 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.
