with tear gas and water cannons a number of arrests were made there as well. thank you it. was drugs. i. was. also in israel 2 worshipers have died and more than 160 injured after a ceiling stand collapsed at a synagogue in a jewish settlement in israeli occupied west bank here's the palace leader again with the latest. i'm hearing the israeli settlement of give act as if in the west bank a short time ago at the start of the jewish festival of shuffleboard one of the stands in the local synagogue known as khan the collapsed at least that's the information
10:17 pm
we have at the moment as you can see the emergency personnel have arrived the israeli army is here there are police here and the latest because we are receiving are that 2 people have been killed and some people are between serious and critical and something that 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 a 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
10:18 pm
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 here with this incident comes just weeks of it after a very similar incident that happened in the north of the country in the wrong in that particular incident 45 people were killed also from the ultra orthodox community and and similar circumstances now the information we have is that people were praying or stretching 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 were all the 20 pm we got the call in no disputes until. the guys said it was a grocer in the synagogue and most of the people who were injured. we started living here at them to do was that the injuries of emptiness throughout spittles.
10:19 pm
at the end with. iran 165 people were injured. and unfortunately 2 boarders were staying in the suv we've now entered the synagogue which is known as the cauldron synagogue as you can see the chairs 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 boulder 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 where the stand collapsed so what's been left behind is
10:20 pm
a complete disarray of chairs and tables and. and black cats that people head and to stand over there the one at the top cuz completely disintegrated so the people who died would have been sitting at the top that stand poised to. give us a. the. tragic events show the russian republic of touch our stand on tuesday a man opened fire in a local school in the region's capital cazan 9 people died including 7 students and 2 teachers well more than 20 others were injured in the attack here's the timeline of how the shocking events unfold. in. the region.

and shot the students her name was and mine is sulfide that's because our parents wanted our names to sound similar she studied in a form which she was 15 mark why she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education and i. thought nose on the day school stuff that 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 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 to 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. 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 was such cold merciless cruelty
10:27 pm
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 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. 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 the term a nation is also present not to let evil break the city's spirit which today has
10:28 pm
showed its strength. daniel hawkins r t. we discussed with our guests and some of the many issues this type of tragedy has once again raised. our society not able to screen 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 that all of our societies have to tackle is to pinpoint find these persons and he'll come on an awful lot of people with mental illness upon film or not 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 nuns insist 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 to use bullying we know at least in the research that
10:29 pm
i've conducted here 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 why if you may have struggled levy recent lost 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. by the desire for me i'll be back with another look at the weekly in about 30 minutes stay with us in the such interest.
