12:17 am
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 figures we're receiving other 2 people have been killed and some people are between serious and critical and something like a 132 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 be 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
12:18 am
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 and similar circumstances now the information we have is that people were praying or sitting 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 their own point if we go to court you know disputes and. the guys said it was a crush in the synagogue most of the people. we started with figured them to do was that the injuries to the 3 hospitals. at the end with.
12:19 am
iran 165 people were injured. and unfortunately 2 borders were staying in the city we've now entered the synagogue which is known as the carbon 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 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 bold 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
12:20 am
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 died would have been sitting at the top of that stand for quality are our teeth give out say it's. tragic events shook the russian republic of touch our stand on tuesday and man opened fire in a local school in the region's capital 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. which means. since it's.

conducted 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 violence one of the most important things that we need to do is we really have to work to passionately create a very safe school climate working together collaboratively with parents who teachers with administrators who really identify those students who may be withdrawn who may be why if you're you may have struggled for any 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 work that we can be proactive rather than reactive. or that does it for me and for the weekly for that matter but don't worry in about 30 minutes time we'll have a full and fresh look at the news coming your way this is r.t.
