last few days which has been predominantly arab on jewish violence so we. the police are firing stun grenades and trying. to police firing stun grenades and they trying to get people to run away from here at as. you can see the security officers coming down the road and they're trying to push the crowd further and further away from here and a lot of the youngsters have moved down the road over they have finally come in to try and deal with the situation and bring order and calm back to back to yum. yes i think that it is your movers will need you know the arab driver wanted to drive into us he pressed the pedal to the metal and wanted to kill us luckily he couldn't do it because another car stopped him because otherwise he would have killed us this is our country and they come to kill us in our own country arabs who

live here want to kill us no small children died in the streets because of the arabs now we've come here and the army and police are against us here show it so that we can continue like this and it's not good what the jews are doing and not good what they are observed doing the government is not doing anything so this is what is happening each side is doing what they want for 70 years we've been good neighbors it's a really big pity that this is happening now we have to make sure the things remain good between us. this cart here was being driven by an arab men they took him out of the car and in an attempted lynch that he has been taken to hospital in the same happened over here when i sat over here the same happened over here with this car down the road here and other attentively and share tensions high they've been also

shouting at the journalists and checking which channels we all belong to so we're going to make our way out of here it's not the safest place to be clear r.t. . the outrage on the streets saw the israeli president calling for calm and warning against civil war in the region do all you can to stop this terrible thing that's happening before our eyes we're dealing with the civil war between us without any reason please stop this madness throughout the week israel's been massing troops along the girls of border having called up thousands of reservists 'd fears of an imminent ground invasion of the hamas ruled girls to strip israeli troops haven't entered the enclave of artillery and tanks join the units in firing into the strip former israeli defense minister nuff told about it insists israel was attacked 1st and then every right to defend itself. our plan is to take down. an income us operator commander and command center because last monday unprovoked

started shooting rockets and israel they decided when this round would start israel will decide when it ends no civilian death is acceptable and that's why we have bor the fact that hamas uses civilians as human shields it means that to some us is murdering its own people by hiding cowardly behind this civilians by hiding its command centers within buildings 'd that belong to. you know hospitals or schools this is a cynical 'd way of operating and they hold they wreck responsibility to all the deaths the days that we're going to sit back and allow murderers terror groups shoot and 'd kill jews those days are over and the. numbers

seem slanted all it means is that israel cares more about its own people than hamas about killing all people let me show you something this rocket over here landed this morning in a home next to the bed of a 9 year old child this real thing landed what is proportional if this lended at your own family's home and killed your own family what is proportional not one israeli should die because of unprovoked hamas attacks that's proportional if they want to stop this they can stop and disarm themselves stop fighting israel and they'll be peace period. spoke with pink floyd front man and activist roger waters who believes that global civil society can force israel to surrender palestinian land. unless some pressure is brought to bear upon the

israeli government to stop the ferocious murderous attack upon on gaza they're not going to stop of their own accord their will is not going to suddenly disappear but clearly in the long term. the israeli occupation of palestine is untenable it is not a future that compose a piece of by public opinion is changing all over the world and they are not going to be allowed to get away with it by the global civil society in my view i can you understand i have to give israel's point of view all not they say and it's really court has ruled thought prior to 948 was in jewish girls and at because of jordan it was taken away from them and this is not an equal conflict this is not when we're talking about gaza which who can a barrel full of fish in the israelis is shooting into it with hugely efficient

weaponry and them and you talking to me about what some israeli spokesman is saying about what's going on in ghosts or and how that the next thing you'll be telling me is that rockets rained down on jerusalem or something it's equally nonsensical. story which they've been said they've been saying the same thing over and over again a single state from the river to the sea a proper democracy with equal rights all rights equal equal human rights for every rich single citizen all people citizens all the jews all the arabs all citizens of a single state from the rivets of the sea that would work. that would have a chance a real real chance of working you know why because it speaks to the collective management of our human affairs that we're all going to have to adopt to put in the

save this fragile planet from this from what we're seeing on our screens here. tragic events of the russian republic of tatarstan on tuesday a man opened fire in a local school in the capital because on 9 people died including 7 students and 2 teaches on 20 others were injured is a timeline of how the shocking events unfolded. you. see if i was in the class on the 2nd floor we heard bangs the sounded like explosions 1st because the cost was and to not let the children get near the windows we told them to sit down along the walls and try to calm them down to let

our teacher told us to hide under the desks. it was a mass last time and we heard a shot and at 1st we just thought that it was furnished being smashed and then the shooting came closer the door was ajar and i saw that the man had a fall on the teacher began to hold the door shut we did not have a key and she told us to run were on the 1st floor one window was open and we all rushed to it will fall in the shah other but no one was hurt badly there were no deaths. was. basically. in the city if you like this if you know. in the. course of. my uniform or your life that. was.

the only. thing i know about what is the yes. this is from the good will is one of the usual numerous ambulances emergency crews and fire trucks were at the site later i saw a teacher covered in blood getting pulled out of school and about 4 children being carried away.

9 people in a critical condition were airlifted to moscow for specialist treatment to children of undergone surgery with medics still fighting for the life of a boy who was shot in the chest 15 people remain in hospital in they're said to be in a stable condition artie's done hawkins spoke with some of those caught up in the tragic events. shock pain grief on the faces of all those who came to pay their condolences the images of children jumping from windows of floors covered in blood shocked the world hearing the accounts firsthand was worse. before we came to school as usual heavy thing was fine when the class began the teacher called me to the blackboard and just a few minutes later we had several explosions but no one was concerned and the class continued only some time later we had the school director telling us to meet it to close everything and leave the room and we did what everyone was deeply

shocked we owe our lives to our math teacher who saved us she ran to the door and locked it she was holding it very firmly alina and still seem in a state of shock and they were among the lucky ones for them the nightmare is over though nobody can say just how long the mental scars will remain for others the nightmare has just begun. its race to the school when he 1st heard news of the attack hoping he would see his sister evacuated to safety and bring her home she was too late. coming out of there which is the doors of the room where my sister was together with her classmates weren't locked so the attacker broke into the room and shot the students her name was and mine is old fart that's because our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in a form which she was 15 when she was

a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education in 19. zal thought nose on the day school staff did all they could to protect the pupils risking and some losing their own lives in the process he would be the only one asking questions though could more have been done to prevent this tragedy and how could it be stopped from happening again. we should probably strengthen the school security as now we have mainly elder people working there also we should organize drills like the ones for fire safety and explain to children where they should go and hide if such tragedies happen. the bloodbath in school 175 how to clear a villain but also some unlikely heroes the son of the local imaam escaped the killer who broke right into his classroom only to run back into danger to rescue his injured younger brother who thankfully survived despite being badly hurt.

after we were taken out of the school to safety i went to search for my classmates the ones who managed to survive when i found them i went to search for my younger brother when i failed to find him i searched for his class teacher and then together we put my brother in an ambulance and the teacher sent me with him to there were 4 people with me in the ambulance one was my classmate who jumped out of the window on the 3rd floor to escape that nightmare the other was my brother who had his chest injured also there was a boy with his lip badly hurt by a glass fragment and one girl was sitting there with her hand almost torn apart. everyone i spoke to had one question why how is such a cold merciless cruelty possible towards anyone let alone children. was confident that good prevails over evil and that khazan will emerge from the nightmare stronger. this tragedy has united everyone regardless of their ethnic origin or

religious belief people from other cities are coming to mourn with us we must stand together in order not to witness such events in the future he invites us to evening prayers at the mosque today and tomorrow or holy days for muslims eed all breaking the fast understandably though the focus of today is on one of the darkest days in total stuns modern history. outside crowds continue to turn up an endless stream and aside from the pain on this day of mourning determination is also present not to let evil break the city's spirit which today has shown its strength daniel hawkins r.t. . the shooting suspect has been identified as 19 year old.

he was a former student of the school where the attack occurred the perpetrator used a pump action shotgun for which he had a license. now c.c.t.v. footage that has emerged subsequently online revealed that the suspect brazenly carried that shotgun all the way on his journey to school we can take a look at the route here that he reportedly took from his house a journey said to be just over 10 minutes but questions remain why did no passers by call the police to alert them there was someone walking along the street with a gun and it's just one of a number of issues the incident raised including what might have led the suspect to carry out such an attack those who knew him said it went totally against his character also on wednesday the suspect pleaded guilty he was remanded in custody people in the court at the time said he showed no sign of emotion during proceedings psychiatric tests will be carried out to assess his mental state we discuss with our experts the questions this type of tragedy has once again raised. our society not able to screen this before we've got really administrator sions

a situation schools how can a profile like this what went through all of that and what would you say are that he was on the verge of committing this massive this massive killings i think there's the serious issue today of all of our societies have to tackle is to pinpoint from these persons and he'll go on 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 the less guns in society the safer we all are it is no secret that you go on the internet you find out what to do and how to do it and this is a this is a problem for all societies bullying we know at least in the research that i've conducted here is the leading cause of gun violence and also bullying revanche stand and side effects of psychotropic magic he stands have been found to be the predominant causes of violence one of the most important thing is that we need to

do is we really have to work to intentionally create a very safe school climate working together collaboratively with parents looking. he joins with administrator to really identify those students who may be withdrawn who may be why you may have struggled even recent loss who may be a victim of bullying you 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 staying with our to that so often i'll return with updates at home for. joining me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking together for the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
