8:03 am
me. the zip of a crowd of people was running, followed by a young man with a gun was shooting. i thought it was the next minute so that one person fell on the grass sleeved there by then we understood this. we're not advertising for syria, so we'll lock the door in the dean's office, from the inside. it all started at 20 part 11, and we had been sitting there for an hour, and then the police knocked our door and they began to evacuate. the shooting took place in our building showing all i didn't have the show, but when i was leaving university, a group of people had already got tons out. we had like 1015 minutes earlier. we could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually use a building time, we are in the 1st building out that it was this little today me
8:04 am
information is also coming through to about a heroic officer. there are a police officer traffic police inspects apparently named constantine clinton. seems he risked his life to try to stop, stop the suspect, who also fired at him. i was on duty and was dealing with a road traffic accident when an eye witness run into the office and said there was a shooting near the university, my colleague and i went to check, we saw people running out of the university and also her shooting my colleague, organize the evacuation while i ran to the main entrance. i asked witnesses where the shooting came from. they said on the 2nd floor i ran into the building and saw an armed person coming down the stairs. i shouted to him to put down the weapon, the young man pointed the gun. that's me and fired a shot. after that, i fired and returned. the young man fell down. i ran close and pinned him down. i
8:05 am
took away his gun and ammunition and a knife, and then i began administering 1st a to him. i mean, well, new to share with you all he saw says say the panic button, which could've alerted everyone apparently don't correspond with saying the seller owns. well, only campus wasn't activated because the security guard responsible to do that. and also twist of fate was the 1st to be killed. the source is university say emergency services was slow to respond to, to the calls for assistance. however, the national guard said it did react quickly because the person who organized the shooting in palm into hunting weapon, legally slower, he received commission in accordance with the applicable law, the educational institution where the tragedy happened was guarded by private security organisation. just when the emergency signal was received from the facility, the detention groups and other security units of the russian national guard promptly arrived at the scene of the incident near them. that the moment an engineering and technical group is operating at the same employees of the
8:06 am
department are also involved in ensuring order and security in the area of the incident. and local correspondence spoke to us as well from the same. so please let me know if everything happened around noon, according to the various sources between 11 and 12 o'clock, i thought an unknown person came to the universe, a ground close to a checkpoint. photo that he started shooting already there. then he went to the main building and opened a file that followed him, firing a series of short inside the building was students and teachers, university stuff started jumping out of the window on the 2nd floor and then lower enforcement officers arrived at the scene as well. as ambulance teams, the police did everything to stop the attack of attempt to shoot more people. he seriously injured unverified pictures published on social networks medic administering 1st day to the lead shoot some assistance to the victims is also provided by eye witnesses who at the university at the time of the incident,
8:07 am
students, teachers and universities. according to the latest information, the shooter is an 18 year old student, this former law students. this information has yet to be verified. the investigative committee and for the criminal case hasn't been open, that was done, correspond across this one. today is information's coming collating it. i'm putting it together terrible day for those students won't have to go through the same. jumping out the windows like that. yeah, absolutely. it's an absolutely tragic site. i mean, those students have been evacuated since the tragedy took place in the university administration said that they're going to be moved to online learning after this until, i guess further notice. and we've also got some conflicting reports about about casualties. you know, there was some confusion about whether 8 people were killed or 6 people, but there's even wider discrepancy about the injuries. so hopefully we'll find out in the coming hours. but for the as, as for the legend shooter,
8:08 am
he's been arrested and we've heard quite a bit of information from the investigative committee. they've said that they've identified who he is, but they've only published that he is student, whether he's former or current. that's pretty, that's still unclear, but they, we also know that the suspect that when he was taken into custody, he actually put up quite a fight with the police. and now we also know that he's in critical condition. we don't know how he suffered his injuries, but just that he's in critical condition right now. it's always difficult for authorities and teachers, etc, to piece together, you know why people do this? what drives them to, to doing it? you almost say of this kind of dressed in black thing, but you get this affected youngsters, teenagers, you get guns involved. rarely, and it is very rare, but it was a that was, makes huge headlines. and so it's a tragic, this kind of thing happens. and what you do about it, right? and these things when they do happen, they, like you said, they definitely do seem to be forming a bit of a pattern. i mean, we can look back at this situation that a lot of people are probably remembering now the math shooting that took place and
8:09 am
because on back in may of this year, back then it was a 19 year old boy who was the shooter. he was saying stuff like he hated everyone that he was a god, and in the police car once he was detained, he tried to kill himself by, by biting his arm, which the police later were able to stop him from doing. but many said he was mentally insane. this is something that so far, the investigative committee has actually denied, but many are still saying this, let's revisit those events of what happened because on oh, who in the
8:10 am
in the news me. oh so of course that was another school shooting that happened during this year, but we can go back even farther to 2018. the school shooting that happened in the crimea town of kurtz that had other parallels. yeah, terrible. another terrible school shooting that had also a more parallel to what happened in, in cars on as we just saw,
8:11 am
the shooter back then in 2018 was 18 years old. almost the same age as the shooting and as the shooter. and because on who was 19 years old, he was also said to have hated everyone in school to to have hated the people in it . and apparently even admired the gunman from the columbine mass shooting massacre that happened in the 1990 s in the united states. so, i mean, a lot of people are wondering like, what's going on here? we heard from after the coach massacre took place, we heard from russian president vladimir putin. he said that this is actually a tragic result of globalization. he said that probably a lot of these, these tragic events are happening because of well, not very good things being brought over over the internet to the, to russia. and specifically, he said a phenomenon that began in the us because we do, we have seen a lot of school shootings happening in the united states. and it was really there that this trend began to, to become a trend. and,
8:12 am
and another interesting thing to mentioned that the reaction from the authorities was that after the, because on shooting earlier this year, the authorities were looking at tighter gun control laws. maybe looking as at that as a way out of future potentiality is late that they haven't taken any concrete steps . but with this like tragedy happening happening again today, policy could be pushed in that direction or i don't, don't quote the thing sir. a bit across this want to keep us posted. it will come through. so next, sorry is not enough. that's how the families of africa victims have reacted to the admission of guilt by the us in a deadly drone strike recently by the pentagon in ca, bullet kill tens of millions. there 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 before the missile hit. it seems the father of a 2 year old girl killed by the spy that strike shed his emotions with his that
8:13 am
done as no one can compensated. 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. 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 agreeing 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 and that thrown strike hood was, was office case. it 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 scandal, despite the inexcusable casual t list, the families of the victims,
8:14 am
those killed in that true strife, say no one has approached them. that essentially, all they have seen are carefully worded statements by the pentagon and the by the administration's p. r. genes intended for cameras and designed to minimize damage make no mistake. no military on the face of the earth works harder to avoid civilian casualties than united states military. and nobody wants to see innocent life taken. as the secretary says, in this statement we, we apologize and we will endeavor to learn from this horrible mistake. and to that end, he has directed a thorough review of the investigation just completed by us central command. i mean, how much 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 is neither do they want siri?
8:15 am
either apologies for cameras. what they want is something that they may never received. if they wanted 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 stand 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 culprit 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 search the crime scene and left without saying anything. but all that. the pentagon, however, is protecting it, so it says that no disciplinary measures will be carried out of its ultimately,
8:16 am
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 packing we have seen and they've got to start over the entirety of the 20 year war when it comes to air strikes or drones stripes. as any number of organizations, the track civilian casualties will attest to relief. where for example, has counted more than 3000 civilian deaths gather 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. what
8:17 am
kids call well mark along, we can say revenge or fight barton. we are a poor family and only trust our god. he's 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 june attacks, and 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 georgia tech 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, had attacked this car in the dead sea. populated residential neighborhood. why they claim that the warning that there were children at the sheed came very late,
8:18 am
but it is evident that they could have seen the children as they launched the missile before they launched the miss all while 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, the asco, both the drone track and what many american c as a k arctic and humiliate again, to america's war in afghanistan. whether anybody will answer for it a u. s. company wants to continue using industrial chemicals that have been branded as dangerous for the environment and people by the you, the substance in question is called genex. it's been used to the manufacturer of a range of plastic products including food packaging, but it has been listed as very high concern by brussels. the company then kennels, which is a spin off from the pump in 2015, is mounted
8:19 am
a legal challenge now to these claims denying them the decision is not rounded 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 planet 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 in
8:20 am
science. so we're looking at it and watching the data as it comes in. well, this is feet of substances used as a replacement for an older classes. we had just now of chemicals called p. f o a's . they were on globally in 2019 because what effect on the environment they also believe to cause serious illnesses including cancer, a european court, and that was real gen x may present many of the same issues fearful age, but them with a subject you may have seen itself with the film, dark waters based on the legal battle of one town in west virginia, polluted by the chemicals that chemicals i'm the documents i don't understand, they're hiding from the chemical drinking drinking. that's like saying i swallowed a tire. that movie was based on the story of lawyer roberts village who we spoke to direct. now he followed low suits against the pond at the time, over half of the small town that suffered from the dumping of those chemicals. he
8:21 am
told us he was just trying to raise public awareness about it all. 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 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 jack's now that there's inadequate 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 develop the
8:22 am
people who are drinking it are being exposed. the so a huge sri day, massive country wide, a general election here in russia. we got special coverage which we continue for year. can tell you what the moment just one percent of votes a left to be counted. so nearly that the final official is old. so way off yet they said to be declared on friday over all the head of the election commission says 51 percent of the russian population voted and it looks like 5 parties are set to pass the 5 percent threshold needed to enter parliament. let's check on the results of the moment. united. russia that has got $49.00, nearly 50 percent of the vote. now the communist, friendly in 2nd place, lived them better than last time. 2016. they're up to 19 percent. the vote, the liberal democrat, 7, a half a just russia, which has merged with 2 smaller parties, also as around 7 and
8:23 am
a half to said there's a new party in the fray as well. this selection called new people. they've got just above, as you can see, 5 percent just above the threshold and needed to scrape in to get a presence in parliament. there is also not final the only the only count for half of the folder and 50 contested seats crucially. and this is a complicated bit, as russia also votes for individual candidates as well as parties. well, laurie, so she's been across the coverage so most latterly a bit earlier on from special skyline studio and out of moscow above red square. sadly though, the inclement weather blew in overnight, but nonetheless we still managed to get a lot of analysis up there. some great guess and experts say, well, what are the 3 days? it's been so far and the results are continuing to pour in. so a new come to the russian political scene, it looks like it will be making it smog on its 1st attempt. the new people party
8:24 am
accounted just a year ago and 2020 new people is a sensor right party lead to the virus tra, alexi. that child is pleasures to fight bureaucracy in the country and stands for the modernization of political institutions. the part he promotes social justice and supports the development of modern technologies. science and education correspondent ego to don off gets his 1st reactions. now the 1st reactions to the voting, they could very well add to the existing full parts. he's currently represented in the lower house of the russian parliament. and, well, what better way to find out about the parties, policies, and what they're all about after all, even in russia, not that many people might know about them since they have only been form just a year ago. story choose to if you could give a pertaining to how are you feeling at the moment and what do you think of the preliminary results? the even the preliminary results are quite impressive for a new party taking part in the federal elections for the 1st time. we feel
8:25 am
tremendous supports. it's a huge responsibility. what is especially encouraging is that russians across the world voted for our party. it's amazing. and if i need to 3 v chicata orient, what's, are the 3 main things that are foreign viewers should know about your partner? eluded me and somebody, me and we represent modern russia, a countries striving to employ common sense in decision making. one that takes tional approach when considering various issues. the main point is that our party is the voice of the russian regions. the regional agenda is our top priority, and wherever we go, it enjoys people's support. results for the communist party of russia seem to be very promising at this point. comments party of russia is seen as the main alternative to the current ruling party. and that sentiment seems to have only grown in recent years and part perhaps, due to the pandemic, and the government's response to it. like in many countries,
8:26 am
the health crisis actually widened the wealth gabbled among citizens. and the communist party of russia promises to tackle that inequality. they propose a program called the 10 steps towards the power of the people. one of the proposed steps, as for example, is the nationalization of key industries and banks and an overhaul on industrial investments. a lot of people are beginning to look for an alternative system and communist party of russia seems to offer that alternative and a very special guest with us today here for our election coverage. of course, of course the trough basically the russian federation council, deputy chair and a member of the united russia party. what would you make that number so far the performance of the party? of course, the election was a kind of a proof for us for their, their russian population accepted reforms 3 proposed or denied them. there is out, goes for it. sound goes without saying, we are well, except that we are supportive and the current policy, which is conducted by the president of russia by the government of russia,
8:27 am
which is supported by the parliamentary majority against it continue. it is because it is supported by voters. i thought of the last election a few years ago that the voter turnout was very low. and this time though, the voter turnout has been much higher. if that's the case, why do you think more people are voting now? well, for the conditions were much more convenient because we provided 3 days walking. and this is all the route for people to choice. secondly, i believe that the, the content of the election campaign was rather rather crusoe for most russians, whether to choose evolution or revolution because many political parties proposed revolutionary changes. they are quite tired with nothing happening in russia the previous 20 years. some people want to have more radical changes, and i believe that the majority of russian society is not happy with this radical
8:28 am
change of. they do not want to have any repeat decent so free lucian's debate had the $991.00, or are there other units of our history? what about, what about the recent changes to the constitution? mister casa, ultimately giving the duma more power. how is that going to work in practice? can you tell us about that? well, number one, these injections took place directly after soon after the amendments to the constitution were passed. and these amendments i believe, are quite important for most people because they provide better social protection. they limit the possibilities for the government to reconsider their previous commitments against the civil society. and they give more power to their representative organs like the state duma. i. 1 think that the terror now which we could see these 3 days of confirms for them these trend. the amendments to the
8:29 am
constitution are still very much for people. they are, they get big support from the russian population. the okay, final 30 seconds will take you back to our top breaking news story. this coming in from russia today, 6 have been killed, revised on from 8, at least 28 injured early in the shooting of the central russian university students were filmed. jumping out of windows to escape, the alleged attack has been arrested and is a student according to preliminary findings, perm state university. so people stay away from the campus. stories coming through as well as 60 of them barricaded themselves inside. stay with us for more as we get it. ah, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a
8:30 am
robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence real summoning the theme and a robot must protect his own existence with the .
