t. i'm breaking news more about it than sad news. come in this morning. the last hour or so 8 people were hearing now i've been killed of a multiple injuries and a shooting. a central rushing versus the a correspondent donal quarter's across. they don't start to see this company in this morning. what's going on and what's the latest? stay to play the yeah, kevin, this tragic nash shooting and took place. like you said, the university located in the central russian city of perm, early on monday morning. now, students have already been evacuated from the area, while the investigative committee has says, has said that 8 people were killed and another 6 people were injured. although we also heard from emergency services. they're saying that 19 people were injured. and we haven't heard from the health ministry, they're saying that as many as 24 people may have been injured in this. so we've seen a lot of conflicting reports, but our video agency roughly was able to get some interviews with people. eye witnesses at that scene, so let's take a look at what they had to say. a visit of a crowd of people was running,

followed by a young man with a gun who was shooting. i thought it was an extra 10 minutes so that one person fell on the grass and stayed there by then we understood this were not exercises that this was serious. so we locked the door in the gains office from the inside. it all started at 20 past 11, and we had been sitting there for an hour, and then the police knocked on our door and they began to evacuate us. the shooting took place in our building. you know, i didn't have a shot, but when i was leaving university, a group of people had already got that. that it turns out if we had like 1015 minutes earlier, we could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually in the building next time we are in the 1st building and out that it was this little practice saved us today. now we have seen some quite disturbing footage from the area at the time of the shooting and you're going to be able to see on your screen right now. images,

some of those disturbing images of people attempting to actually jump out of the buildings to free themselves from the carnage as you could see there from the 2nd floor. as for the legend shooter, the police have detained him, and the investigative committee says that it has identified him, although they've only published, made public that he's, that he was a student, not necessarily at the university just that he was a student. it's also said that once the suspect was in custody, he put up, put up quite a fight. he resisted the detainment. so again, like we've been saying, this is a developing story and we'll give our viewers the latest details as they become available in those places. a subs, sorry, site isn't ok, but it looks like kids under control at the moment. the latest. all right, don't come back just more later. yes. i don't recall to the across that one today, the instant of those painful memories of my school shooting back in may. you may recall it or not. the attacker opened fire that in the city of cousin and also in central russia. 9 people were killed there. 7 children,

the 19 year old shoot to attend the fall of the time as a former student and pleaded guilty to the assault. and then there's more 12018. again, you may remember this one, the chrome in the city of cuts. so brushes deadly. a school attack had more than the decade. an 18 year old student shot dead, 20 people that and wounded 70 others before committing suicide. havanese today, sorry is not enough that so the families of africa victims have reacted to the admission of guilt by the us in a deadly drone stroke by the pentagon, cobble was killed, 10 civilians are also reports that us intelligence did warn about the possible presence of civilians including children in the strike area, but only a few seconds. crucially, before that missile hit, the father, a 2 year old girl shed his emotions in our special project called heard voices that no one can compensates us. if you give us all the money in the world,

it will not be enough. it's not possible. they can compensate for the murder of a child, and there is no remedy for this loss after they confess that it was a mistake. we wondered why they didn't check before talking us. what did they find conclusive intelligence? they should have made sure by carrying out a thorough investigation before accusing and attacking us. we have lost 10 relatives and it is such a painful and terrible incident. we are grieving heartbroken, our family was innocent. we knew that we didn't do anything wrong. for 2 weeks after the incident was that the families of the victims, the relatives of those killed in that drone strike hood was, was office cation was excuses, despite the abundant evidence pointing to the fact that something had gone terribly wrong with this strike. despite the fact that this has become a global scab on the spot, the inexcusable casualty list, the families of the victims, those killed. and that really strikes say new one has approached them. that's

essentially all they have seen are carefully worded statements by the pet to god and the by the administration's p. r. genes intended for cameras and designed to minimize the damage make no mistake. no military on the face of the earth worked harder to avoid civilian casualties than united states military. and nobody wants to see innocent life taken. as the secretary says, in the statement we have, we apologize. and we will endeavor to learn from this horrible mistake. and to that end, he is directed to a thorough review of the investigation just completed by us central command. i mean, my d, the father of the 2 year old girl, told us that that was the money that the money isn't going to solve anything new compensation ease. neither do they want theory, either apologies for cameras. what they want is something that they may never

receive. they both have investigation, they want accountability and culpability. they want those responsible for these tragedy for, for the deadly mistakes that went into it for them to be brought to justice, much more. but we want justice according to american law, and the person who pulled the trigger, and those who gave the fire command should stun before a court of law. we need assurance that next time they will not kill innocent people and children in other countries. the culprits must be convicted. nobody formerly met with those. no one contacted a toll on behalf of the american government. we want an official investigation and the corporate must be convicted in a court of law in the u. s. then we will accept reparations. according to american law, just 3 people from the telephone came here. they searched the crime scene and left without saying anything, but the pentagon, however, is protecting it. so it says that no disciplinary measures will be carried out that ultimately this is all a terrible tragedy. but new ones mistake specifically because all of its employees,

the intelligence community, all acted by the book and that the intelligence was solid. and that is unfortunately the pattern we have seen. and i've got to start over the entirety of the 20 year war when it comes to air strikes or drones strikes as any number of organizations, the track civilian casualties will attest to relief. where for example, has counted more than 3000 civilian deaths. enough, gathered on since 2016 since nato and the united states began reducing the number of troops they had on the ground. and increasing the number of air strikes up to 20 a day. they've also found that 40 percent of the casualties caused by the united states and its allies, the air strikes that have got to stop 40 percent of the civilian casualties where kids walk along. we can say revenge or fight back. we are

a poor family and only trust god, he is the one who has the power to punish them accordingly. we can't forgive them. why would we do that? i have heard that the americans have killed so many innocent people in drone attacks. i would say that these cases must be investigated to stop these killings in other countries like afghanistan. i have lost my daughter, my brother, and his children. these drone strikes needs to be stopped altogether. after the attack on our family. we asked for justice. now i call him those who have lost people to join tax over the years to stand up and demand justice. at the end of the day, just this may prove to be elusive. this scandal, however, will dry gone because there are a whole host of questions that still haven't been answered, such as why the united states would but choose to attack this car in a densely populated residential neighbourhood. why they claim that the warning that they were children at the sheed came very late when it is evident that they could have seen the children as they launched the miss hall before they launched the miss

our wall, they track this car. they could have seen the kids in the car playing around the vehicle. and there are also questions about accountability. whether after this fiasco, both the drone track had and what many american c as a k or took and humiliate again to america's war in afghanistan. whether anybody will on so for it to see if the next u. s. company wants to continue using industrial chemicals, has been branded dangerous for the environment by the you. the substance in question is called genex. it's spin hughes, the manufacturer of a range of plastic products including those use for food packaging. but it's been listed as a chemical, a very high concern by brussels, the company camels, which spun off into punk back in 2015 as mounted a legal challenge denying the claims the decision is not grounded in solid

scientific evidence. little levels of gen x do not pose a human health risk, and it has also been shown to rapidly eliminate from the human body. you know, this is a class completely manmade toxins that are now contaminating our entire planet. they were manufactured by companies. by ma'am, they don't exist on the planets other than these few companies that decided to make them and pump them out into our world. knowing that these chemicals would stay in our environment virtually for ever, which is why you hear them referred to now as forever chemicals, and that they would get into us and accumulate and stay there and result in toxic effects. in simply knocking a couple of carbons off of a, a chemical like p, f, away, and calling it something new. a gen x really is not satisfying to regulators and scientists who are looking at it and watching the data as it comes in. well,

bit more about the back story here. the disputed substance is used as a replacement for an older classic chemicals called peer for ways they were banned globally in 2019 because of their effect on the environment. they are also believed to cause serious illnesses, including cancer or european court, ruled that gen x may present many of the same issues though p f o a is where the subjects of a film dog waters. you may have seen it based on the legal battle in the town in west virginia, polluted by said chemicals, chemicals, documents, i don't understand, they're hiding something. that chemical. what if you drink drinking? it's like saying, i swung on a tire. the movie was based on the story of lawyer robert bennett, who we spoke to. he fought lawsuit against the part of the home for the small town that suffered from the dumping of the chemicals. he told us he hoped to raise public awareness about the issue. you know,

i'm encouraged to see that the story in what happened with p f away is giving out to the public through things like the movie, dark waters. that people are becoming aware of that. this is happened that you know, and hopefully adults don't know that there's a long history here. when we 1st started digging into p f away, back in 1999. that chemical was completely unregulated. and what we were hearing back then 20 years ago about p f away is the same thing we're hearing about john acts. now that there's an adequate studies and testing to show that there's harmful effects. so it's incredibly important to take proactive steps to try to address the chemical we shouldn't wait to see what kinds of cancer is actually developed and the people who are drinking it are being exposed. right. on the case, this next inefficient inquiries been launched into the european commission

president us live on delay, and he says that she's got no record of a text messages with the chief executive of pfizer. the messages were exchange during talks on buying vaccines from the pharmaceutical giant, your curse for peter, all of us. good morning. it comes down to the question of communication or more accurately a question of communications. basically what's being offered by e. u. officials, when they do deals with others. and what was promised to who particularly it's in relation to the text messages that went between the commission president for the line and the ceo of the pharmaceutical giant pfizer. now the e u ombudsman. she's very keen to take a look into this further and find out exactly what was said. the message coming from the e u commission was they don't keep any record of what they call short lived communications . the decision to record a certain piece of information in the administration's document management system

should, according to law, not be dependent on the medium b at a letter, an email, a text or instant message, but on its content will at the time the deal was done. it was said to have been very much down to the personal diplomacy of a you commission, president ursula on the line. it's q it a whopping 1800000000 doses of their covert 19 vaccine. and it was absolutely essential because it took up the slack that had been left after the collapse of the deal with vaccine manufacture astrazeneca to provide jobs to the european union. for a month, miss vaughan de line had been exchanging texts and calls with albert boiler. the chief executive of pfizer, another vaccine supplies the block. and as they spoke to things became clear, 5 might have more doses, it could offer the block many more and the european union would be thrilled to have them. this isn't the 1st time though, that ursula fonda line has been asked to show text messages that she sent in an official capacity. and it's turned out that they've not been available back in 2019

. there was a parliamentary inquiry here in germany into deals that had been done contracts that had been handed out with the german defense ministry. now before becoming the commission president, those live on the line was the fence minister here in berlin. now some of those contracts were there will accusations that they'd been given out to people without the correct oversight being in place that personal connections had played a role personal connections. of course, not that far from personal diplomacy in some people's eyes. well, when it came to the german boon, the stag, the parliament here in berlin, asking to see these text messages while they had been wiped, we could not find the official papers or other documents revealing why the ministry hide external consultants to the assumption is that a lot happen by text messages. we have to assume that officials have destroyed evidence such behavior may have criminal implications. well,

if you cast your mind back to 2019, this was quite a big scandal here in germany, in relation to how these defense contracts had been handed out. ultimately, of course, it was massively overshadowed by the coven 19 pandemic. but now what we're seeing is questions being asked over how on the line carries our business and so far, well, the answers haven't been forthcoming from the european commission. he was day to day peter all over the last turn to russia general election, the parliamentary elections after a we can of voting 3 days of it in total. because the pandemic, the counting, well under way, 90 percent of votes counting the moment with the latest results is coming back to the elements that we said a bit today, but steadfast nonetheless is rory. so show up at our skyline studio in central moscow over the rory the

the well, thank you very much, kevin. thanks for that and have a look at this view. but what about the weather? a very cloudy, misty, foggy rainy, downtown moscow. the kremlin does red square right deck lens mosley, i'm in the middle of a shot. you can see it. will it very well welcome to you. we continue on special election coverage here on the international. wow. you know what a 3 days it's been so far. ballot counting is now in full swing and the results are coming in fast. but 90 percent of the votes now counted. let's show you how it currently looks here at the international united. russia has 49 percent. it's followed then shortly, quickly, i guess what you say, the communist, perennially though in 2nd place, but they are up to 20 percent of the liberal democrats now just coming in just under 8

a just russia which is merged with 2 smaller parties. this is next that just around 7 and a half percent, a new party and the selection cold new people has just above the 5 percent threshold needed to have a presence in parliament that they are on the way. not important to bear in mind. these results are not final, they only count for half the 450 contested feats as russia also votes for individual candidates as well as part he's. let's try and shed some light on this. his unexplained for you ah, [000:00:00;00]

the news full of these elections are, of course being watched from all around the world a short time ago i had on fees on a boy with me here on of course the host of the program will depart. she laid out how the international community and in particular various western nations have reacted so far to russia. 2021, the state duma election. many organizations are figures who are quite skeptical about these elections or any democratic procedures in russia. i think the rudolph same different reactions outside and inside is in the fact that for many the west elections, especially elections in russia, is a political process. it's about the fight for power and not only domestically, it's about the fight for power internationally. many of those organizations don't tie pretty strong disregard and dislike for the leadership of this country,

and therefore they, they use any opportunity to discredit whatever happens here. now, for the russians, for the russian leadership, including, it's not so much a political, but rather historical process. the process of raising a constituency, responsible authentic, engage voters, and it's a very arduous and very difficult process that, you know, you don't get democracy by simply instituting to procedures. it needs to grow from there. and then in the united states, in europe, to many, many decades, if not hundreds of years to institute, that process, i'll send typically in russia it's been a couple of decades. but that has been many pros and cons. and if you look at the current elections, whatever you think, all russia, you have to recognize that in terms of the procedures, they have become more transparent in terms of political representation. it's become more diverse in terms of the candidates. you know that a,

he's that professional path. everything is getting wider and more representative. but obviously there will always be some people who don't like what's happening here simply because they, they see russia as, as an evil force. i'm sorry to say that there are various governments or procession . she's out there that do what she was saying. they don't tend to say very nice things about whether it's 13 or about predictable in di reactions. aren't they? whatever happens, they all always have a negative spin on things and you know, as i was talking to you, i remember that you know, this year the marketing, the thompson, diversity of the spring. and i was there on the ground covering all those events and lee be in syria in egypt. i remember how much enthusiasm there were in many western capitals about supposedly democracy coming to those countries and look where they are right now that you know political and democratic infrastructure

changed but changed for the worse. and that i think supports my thesis that you can bring in phone without you have to grow and grow within. and sometimes it takes a lot of effort in russia to be devoting was walk, came based. they've actually worked closely with hackers and they have 3 hackers marathons. so when they ask hackers when they offer them a reward, the 1000000 roubles to actually penetrate the system to expose its vulnerability so that the system can become stronger. so it's, it's a work in progress, but i know that there was one clever guy from france who actually managed to expose some vulnerabilities. and because of that, the russian online system with the pressure of all the packing, it's actually around the world. more and more russians voting this time around. what's the most important thing on the mind? you think it did the economy? it pensions, is it education? is it salaries? what are russians today? more concerned with? well, very different ways you can interpret that. i think russians are not most different

from people around the world, so their 1st and foremost that concerns with economy, the consequences, economic and social consequences of the damage, health care education because all those areas are impacted by the cur, the virus. but i think you're right in pointing out that the turn out is much higher than we are used to not partially because of the introduction of the line voting of how convenient it is. you don't have to go anywhere. but i hope it's also because of how much more involved russian feel in the affairs of that country and the responsibility that they feel in future. i spoke with a puzzle and today off of russia at central election commission, they've had a really big job with them ahead of them for the service. enormous the state duma election talk about trying to make everything transpire and making sure everyone goes by the books. and he told me exactly how they made sure the voting process

went smoothly. it hasn't been the 1st time the russians were able to use the digital electronic quoting system the, the, the 1st, the 1st come was moscow. and the time it was also the region of the russian federation of the federal voting and at the central level election committee we last night we put together the keys to draw out the results for the federal system. it went very smooth. it was very, quite quiet. quick to do, people do more and more trust in the system the see the way the central election commission is, is operating completely in an open manner. we were sitting together with a journalist with the observer's international observers waiting for the results over seeing how the digital electronic voting system has been put together to, to, to produce the results. i mean, they gain trust. they see also

a lot of competition. i think you in, judging by the results, you might think there's all of the same. well, maybe there is another 5040 getting into the in, into the parliament. but at the same time, we are inside saw why the fierce competition devoted. so it some sort of online foreign interference accusations have been made. did you have any problems with your systems? did you have any hoc attacks? we had reports that there were cyber attacks. we had reports of quite severe and multiple attempts to do to disrupt the all our systems, but they, there was food, food. and as far as far as we were at the moment, we haven't had any infringement on the results. so the thing was that just about wraps up our special cover, a chair on aussie international for russia. 2021 state duma elections. we've been having

a fantastic coverage from our rooftop studio overlooking downtown moscow between 3 days of nationwide voting for the russian st. tumor election, we appreciate you joining us. numbers is still coming in more information that com still here on the international for the meantime, however, from downtown moscow up the board of a tree, the headquarters, kevin. oh, and now with an update on the latest of the breaking news story on asi international. the thank you, rory, back here, let me update you on the breaking news story that came in about 23 hours ago. the latest is its from central russia. this for the news 8 people have been killed. the multiple injuries of the shooting at the central rushing university students were film jumping out of the windows really sod seems to see if you caught them earlier on. we got these. the pictures again. the alleged attack has been arrested partly as a student, according to preliminary investigations. we're still early days per state.
