just to the south of jaffa and outside tel aviv to be shining stars have gathered here and they are smashing cars that presumably they think belong to arabs there's also an arab owned i screen shot that down the road and the glass has all been destroyed b. i'm fittings in front of the building they've come here with israeli flags to show their support and this is in the tiny ation to the finance we've witnessed in the last few days which has been predominantly arab on jewish violence so b. so the police are firing stun grenades and trying. to police firing stun grenades and they trying to get people to run away from here . you can see the security officers coming down the road and they are trying to push the crowd further and further away from here and a lot of the youngsters have moved down the road of that they have finally come in to try and deal with the situation and bring order and calm back to back to yum.

yes that they're moving on and 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. we can't continue like this is not good for the jews are doing it's not good for the arabs a doing the government isn't doing anything so this is what's happening each side is doing what they want for 70 years we've been good neighbors and it's a big bt that is happening now now we have to make sure that things remain good between us this can hear. was being driven by an arab man 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. over here the same happened over here with this car down the road here and the 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. r.t. . now throughout the week israel has been amassing troops along the gaza border having called up thousands of reservists not has led to phase of an imminent ground invasion of the hamas ruled gaza strip israeli troops though haven't entered the entry but artillery and tanks joined the air units into firing into the strip former israeli defense minister bennett insists israel was attacked 1st and has every right to defend itself let me show you something this rocket over

here landed this morning home next to the bed of a 9 year old child this real thing landed what is proportional if this learned of your own family's home and killed your own family what is proportional that one is really should die because of unprovoked 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 except the will and that's why we have 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 to

. you know hospitals or schools this is a cynical 'd way of operating and they hold a 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 if numbers seem slanted all it means is that israel cares more about its own people than hamas about killing all people our plan is to take down. an income us operator commander and command center because last monday unprovoked started shooting rockets in israel they decided when this round would start israel will decide when it ends my calling kenan unable to speak to the former pink floyd from an anonymous roger waters he believes that global civil society can force israel to surrender occupied palestinian arms.

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. these really occupation 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 by global civil society in my view again you understand i have to give israel a point if you all not they say an israeli court ruled thought prior to 948 the land was in jewish. and the huts because of jordan it was taken away from them this is not an equal conflict this is not when we're talking about gaza which

will can a barrel full of fish in the israelis as 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 say 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. 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 we're going to save this fragile planet from this from what we're seeing on our screens here. tragic event ship the russian republic of tartus stand on changed a man opened fire on a local school in the capital because 9 people died including 7 students and to teach is why are more than 20 others were injured in the attack is a timeline of how the shocking events unfolded. let's look for the clip q i was in the class on the 2nd floor we heard bangs that 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 leave us in the studio a man with a gun ran into the classroom and started shooting people who didn't shall take it in 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 all the little question mark it was a must last time and we heard a shot and at 1st we just thought that it was furniture 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 while on the 1st floor one window was open and we all rushed to it will fall and in the show that but no one was hurt badly there were no deaths. in the city if you never write this you know if. you. can.

get. her number that's why you didn't forget it was. really there are no but what is below. this is from the little one of the numerous ambulances emergency crews and fire trucks were at the site later eyesore a teacher covered in blood getting pulled out of school and about 4 children being

carried away the all. the 9 people in a critical condition were airlifted to moscow for specialist treatment and 2 children have undergone surgery with medics still fighting for the life of a boy who was shot in the chest up to 15 people who remain in hospitals in cars and but is said to be in a stable condition artist and hawkins spoke to some of those who were 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 here in the accounts 1st hand

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 but no one was concerned and the class continued only some time later we had the school director telling us to immediately close everything and leave the room. with 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 zal fast 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. communion 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 fahed that's because our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in the 8th form but she was 15 she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education and i teamed. who knows on the day school soffit only could to protect the pupils risking on 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 can 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 on likely heroes the son of the local imaam escape 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 less though. 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 cold merciless cruelty possible towards anyone let alone children. 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 our holy days for muslims either future or breaking the fast understandably though the focus of today is on one of the darkest days in total stands 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. khazan. because an shooting suspect has been identified as 19 year old. he was a former student of the school where the attack happened the perpetrator used the pump action shotgun for which he had a license well c.c.t.v. footage has been posted online too revealing that he the suspect brazenly carried the gun all the way to the school in fact here you can see the route that he reportedly took from his house a journey of just over 10 minutes but questions remain as to why no passers by called police to alert them it is just one of a number of issues the incident is race including what might have led the suspect to carry out such an attack those that knew him said it went totally against his character well on wednesday the suspect did plead guilty and was remanded in

custody people in the court said that he showed no signs of emotion during these proceedings psychiatric tests will now be carried out to assess his mental state we discussed with experts the questions that this type of tragedy has once again raise . our society are not able to scream this before we've got many administrations a situation schools how come a profile like this what went through all of that and nobody saw that he was on the verge of committing this massive massive killings i think that's the serious issue today that of all of our societies have to tackle is to pinpoint find these persons and he'll go through an awful lot of people with mental illness of one form or another all they have extreme views and if you give these people guns you've got to expect that some states at these are going to go wrong so you you know the less comes and says i'm going to be safer we were all right it's 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 bulling we know at least in the research that i've

conducted i have is the leading cause of gun violence in schools so bullying revenge retaliation and side effects of psychotropic medications have been found to be the predominant causes of school 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 with teachers with administrators to really identify those students who may be withdrawn who may be quiet you may have struggled a 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 if you watch and we can hear not internationalists coming up to half past 2 in moscow we'll be back with more stories from the last 7 days plus the latest developments at the top here.

yeah bit yes.
