6:12 am
to show they support and this is in the tiny haitian to the findings we've witnessed in the last few days which has been put on one seat arab on jewish violence so. so the police are firing stun grenades and trying. to flee having stun grenades and they trying to get people to run away from here at and see. if you can see the security officer coming down the road today and trying to push the crowd further and further away from here and a lot of the youngsters have moved down the road over that they have finally come in to try and deal with the situation and bring order and calm. back to back to yum . yes. or move on if 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
6:13 am
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. we can't continue like this and it's not good what the jews are doing not good what the 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 card here was being driven by an arab men they took him out of the car and in an attempted lynch he has been taken to hospital and the same happened over here. over here the same happened over here with this car down the road here and now they're attentively and share tensions high they've been also
6:14 am
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. r.t. . throughout the week israel has been massing troops along the gaza border having called up thousands of reservists lead to fears of an imminent ground invasion of the hamas ruled gaza strip your troops there haven't entered the enclave but artillery and tanks joined units in farming into the strip for israeli defense minister enough taliban it insists israel was attacked 1st and as every right to defend itself. 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
6:15 am
proportional not one israeli should die because of unprovoked hamas attacks that proportional if they want to stop this they can stop and disarm themselves stop fighting israel and they'll be peace period no civilian death is acceptable and that's why we bore 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 that belong. you know hospitals or schools this is a cynical 'd way of operating and they hold they wrecked responsibility to all the deaths the days that we're going to sit back and allow murderers terror groups
6:16 am
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 are planning to take down. any operator commander and command center because last monday unprovoked started shooting rockets on israel they decided when this round would start israel will decide when it ends. michael again in a neil spoke with former pink floyd front man and activists roger waters who believes the global civil society can force israel to surrender occupy palestinian lands 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 a can of certainly disappear but clearly in the long term. the israeli occupation
6:17 am
of palestine is untenable it is not a future that compulsively supply 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 again you understand i have to give israel's point of view all not they say and it's really court room thought prior to 948 the land was in jewish. and if the hearts 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 walking 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 sort of how that the next thing you'll be telling me is that
6:18 am
rockets rained down on jerusalem it's equally nonsensical. story which they've been to say they've been saying the same thing over and over again a single state from the rivets of 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. 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 our job to put in the save this fragile planet from this from what we're seeing on our screens here. tragic events shook the russian republic of tatarstan and seized
6:19 am
a man opened fire in a local school in the capital because 9 people died including 7 students and 2 teaches more than 20 others were injured in the attack is a 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 the sounded like explosions 1st because the classroom 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 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 heard an explosion right on to our classroom after that our teacher told us to hide under the desks. it was
6:20 am
a mass last 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 we were on the 1st floor one window was open and we all rushed to it will fall in the show other but no one was hurt badly there were no deaths. was. basically. the city in. the city you know. in the. morning and so far you did from what it was.
6:21 am
6:22 am
9 people in a critical condition were airlifted to moscow for specialist treatment 2 children are undergone surgery medics are still fighting for the life of a boy who was shot in the chest 15 people are still in hospital but he said to be in a stable condition and he's done whole conspired 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 shock the world hearing the accounts firsthand was worse well 1st of all 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 like no one was concerned and the class continued only some time later we had the school director telling us to meet if it close everything and leave the room. everyone was deeply shocked we owe
6:23 am
our lives to our math teacher who saved us she ran to the door and locked it she was holding it very firmly. 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 raced through 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. 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 mind is that that's because our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in a form which she was 15 when she was
6:24 am
a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education and 19. knows 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 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 out of the bloodbath in school 175 how to clear a villain but also some on likely 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.
6:25 am
after we were taken out of the school to safety i want 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 was such cold merciless cruelty possible towards anyone let alone children. was confident but good prevails over evil and that khazan will emerge from the nightmare stronger. this tragedy has
6:26 am
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 either or breaking the fast understandably though the focus of today is on one of the darkest days in total stans 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 spirit which today has shown its strength. daniel hawkins r.t. . the cause and shooting suspect has been identified as 19 year old
6:27 am
illness if it was a former student of the school where the attack occurred the perpetrator use they pump action shotgun for which he had a license but c.c.t.v. footage which emerged online revealed that the suspect brazenly carried a shotgun all the way to the school we can take a look at the route here that he reportedly took from his house a journey that would have lasted just over 10 minutes the questions remain as to why no passers by called the police to alert them they'd seen somebody walking with a gun so one of a number of issues the incidents 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 on wednesday the suspect pleaded guilty he was remanded in custody people in court said he showed no sign of emotion during proceedings psychiatric tests will be carried out to assess his mental state we discussed with experts the questions this type of tragedy as again based our society are not able to screen this before we've got really illustrations of situations schools how can
6:28 am
a profile like this what went through all of that and what would you say are that he was on the edge of committing this massive massive killing i think there's the serious issue today of all of our societies have to tackle is to pinpoint fridays for instance and here we've got an awful lot of people with mental illness of one form or another or they have extreme views and if you give these people guns you've got to expect that some states 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 blindly now at least in the research that i've conducted here is the leading cause of gun violence in school so bullying revanche stand by the facts and say that's a great maliki stance have. and found to be the predominant cause of school violence one of the most important thing is that we need to do is we really have to work to intentionally create
6:29 am
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 why it 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 more that we can be proactive rather than reactive and that's the news today as it stands appreciate company and i'll take updates coming your way at half an hour. by the pandemic no certainly no borders and just blocking 2 nationalities. as a mark you don't it was a really we don't look like she world needs to. judge
6:30 am
a. coma or a crisis like this. and you better we should. everyone is contributing to your own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. barfi.
