8:17 pm
something like a 152 people if not more have been taken by ambulance to various hospitals now this is a holy day on the jewish calendar so normally we would not be allowed into a neighborhood like this normally we would not be allowed to film certainly not on the day that's like the sabbath as you can see people from the whole community have come out and are hanging around trying to figure out what happened and what went wrong now we understand that investigation has been opened the various people here are blaming each other so we have heard from council leaders here and they say that the fault was actually with the organizers of this event the ultra-orthodox because they were told that the synagogue which is a new synagogue had just recently been built and was not in adequate condition to be used but then we're hearing from the police that they have also given the same order and we're hearing from emergency personnel that are at this moment it's not quite clear who is right and who is wrong with this incident comes just weeks of it

after a very similar incident that happened in the north of the country in moron in that particular incident 45 people were killed also from the ultra orthodox community and i'm just similar circumstances now the information we have is that people were praying or searching or dancing on one of the stands when suddenly the stand collapsed and as people fell onto people below them that caused the chaos that ensued. clearly we go to court in no disputes and. the guys said that was a gross in the synagogue and most of the people. we started with to cure them to go was with the result of these 3 hospitals. and with. iran 165 people were injured. and unfortunately 2 boarders were staying in the city we've now entered the synagogue which is known as the cauldron
8:19 pm
synagogue as you can see the chase have all been kind of pushed away in disarray in this incident happened during the synagogue service and the stand that collapsed is just in front of us what we understand now is that this is a synagogue that was built by the community and they didn't have the right commission to build it so the police were not involved the usual regulations that are put into place by the authorities none of that was implemented and that's probably why they kept us waiting for an hour before they're actually getting us into the synagogue if we can go a little bit closer here you can see through this gap as to what actually happened you can see we the stands collapsed so what's been left behind is a complete disarray of chairs and tables and and black hats that people head and to stand over there the one at the top has completely disintegrated so the people who
8:20 pm
died would have been sitting at the top that stand policia r.t. give us a it's. tragic events of the russian republic of tatarstan on tuesday a man opened fire in a local school in the region's capital because on 9 people died including 7 students and 2 teachers while more than 20 others were injured in the attack here is the timeline of how the shocking events unfolded. when you. see. the slit for the club key i was in the close on the 2nd floor we heard bangs that 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 try to calm them down to lay

8:23 pm
custody subsequently in court people said he showed no signs of emotion during the proceedings psychiatric tests are being carried out to assess his mental state in the aftermath of the deadly events artie's daniel hawkins spoke to some who were directly affected by what occurred that tragic day. 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 who 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 heard 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. everyone was deeply shocked we
8:24 pm
owe 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 fast race. at 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 sold out that's because our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in the a form which i with she was 15 are quite she was
8:25 pm
a very resolute girl and she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education and. knows on the day school stoff that only could to protect the pupil he's risking on some losing their own lives in the process he will 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 had a clear 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
8:26 pm
. 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
8:27 pm
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. all 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's spirit which today has shown its strength daniel hawkins r.t. . we discussed with some of our guests some of the many issues this type of tragedy
8:28 pm
has again raised. our society 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 mess of this mess of killings i think that's the serious issue to have all of our societies have to tackle is to pinpoint find these persons and he'll go on 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 got to expect at some stage that these are going to go wrong so you you know the less comes into someone to be that the safer we were it is 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 also someone sees bullying we know at least in the research that i've conducted here is the leading cause of gun violence in schools so bullying revanche retaliation and side effects of psychotropic medications have been found to be the predominant causes of violence one of the most important things that we need to do
8:29 pm
is we really have to work to intentionally create a very safe school climate working together collaboratively with parents look at teachers with administrators to really identify those students who may be withdrawn who may be why if you may have struggled for every 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 or that does for me that i'll be back in about 30 minutes with another look at your weekly stay with us the international. match geysers financial survival guide liquid out to those that you can convert music as quite easily. to keep in mind though as a tremendous place and
