5:00 pm
to join us in the depths, the will remain in the shallows. ah, the ah britain and the you condemn russia's parliamentary elections. the few remaining votes accounted 6 deaths and multiple injuries and a shooting at a university and central russia. the alleged attacker is under arrest one student describes what he saw. my friends and i was standing at the parking lot near the entrance where the gunshots turn and sold a shooter standing 20 meters away with a shotgun push on the suspect was arrested by a single police officer who entered the building after he heard about the gunshots . he reached his life, trying to stop the man who fired at him. i ran into the building and so on. own
5:01 pm
person coming down the stairs. the young man pointed the gun at me and find a show. it's tough to that i find in return. i run close and pinned him down. i took away his gun and munition and allies apart from reportedly counsel to top level defense meeting with britain and threatens to torpedo the use free trade agreement with australia. after washington, london, camera state packed and saw a major french defense contract taken over by the united states. ah, i that just turned to midnight here in moscow now tuesday, the 21st of september. i'm calling brad. this is yodeep from alta international. seems like ross, a phobia on the rise again with the european commission commission in britain, dismissing russia's state duma elections of the weekend of undemocratic while
5:02 pm
alleging suppression of opposition candidates. as of now, just a small fraction of the votes remain to be counted. what we have seen in the case of russia over the last few days in terms of do my elections and also regional elections is that these elections have taken place in an atmosphere of intimidating critical and independent voices. and these elections took place without credible international observation. and we taken all of our independent and reliable sources reporting serious violation during the world. the doom or elections represent a serious step back for democratic freedoms in russia, the measures taken by the russian authorities to marginalize civil society, silence independent media, and exclude genuine opposition. candidates from participating in the elections undermined political plurality and results with the international commitments that russia have signed up to. the numbers united russia has almost 50 percent the
5:03 pm
communists perennially. and 2nd place. they've got 19 and the liberal democrats, 8 percent adjust russia, which merge with 2 smaller parties, has around 7 and a half percent. and a new party in the selection new people has just above the 5 percent threshold needed to have a presence in parliament. these results, so not final august yet anyway in any count for half of the 450 contested seats because russia also votes for individual candidates, as well as for parties over the course of the 3 day vote. west of media ramped up their attacks on russian democracy using any opportunity to discredit the duma vote . here's just some of the reaction we've been hearing 2 attacks on the process. this is something that doesn't have to do with the election. so no, this is the russia phobia that you have in the world. now it's deep inside people of people and somebody's minds they, the, they want to feel like the and so even before starting the thing, oh, the elections are rig there is a, there is a problem. so i come here as an observer, lots of,
5:04 pm
of the observers were coming here so we could testify the pros as we could see everything working. so i really, this is the agenda. this is a problem of agenda. even if you have the most transparent collections, the best selections ever with them, observing people and changing. i think we should question this kind of agenda, this kind of strategy there is in the world towards russia. i think obviously the west is always a bit nervous with russia and when it comes to elections that shows up. certainly not very diplomatic, just i think if one wants to judge the fairness of elections, one should got the maximum amount of information in rob, rob, it seems that this, that hadn't been done. my view is there i elections in russia. that is for the russian people to determine what form of democracy should exist in this country and which parties should govern it. it's not really
5:05 pm
a matter for the european union for meeting 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 5 to 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. 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 the western partners who are committed to democracy are actually trying to use money today to discredit our elections and democratic procedures. in fact, by lowering the confidence the russian people have in the institutions of democracy . this makes us very sad because we're ready to develop democracy. we're building
5:06 pm
and developing modern processes and technology. well, as a result began to come in where we sushi, took a look at a new party that's on its way into parliament. well, what 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 accounted just a year ago and 2020 new people is a center right party lead to via alexi that china. it places 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 eager to donald, 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,
5:07 pm
and what they're all about after all, even in russia, not that many people might know about them because they have only been form just a year ago. store, we choose to give up a computer with 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 tremendous supports. it's a huge responsibility. what is especially encouraging is that russians across the world voted for our party. it's amazing. not to 3. v. chicata orient. what's, are the 3 main things that are foreign viewers should know about? your party eluded me, but it's kelly and somebody, me and we represent modern russia. countries striving to employ common sense in decision making, one that takes a rational 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
5:08 pm
and wherever we go, it enjoys people's support. we're now joined with pavel andre, off of russia as central election can joining us here on our rooftop studio. thank you so much for coming to talk to us this time around. people were able to vote using that smart phone, has it worked out, okay, and is that a safe method to be voting with using your smartphone? well, has been not only smartphones, but basically an electronic gadgets like a desktop computer, a note book, whatever it has 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 other regions of the russian federation of the news, the federal voting system at the central lower with election committee we last night we put together the keys to draw out the results for the federal system. it
5:09 pm
went very smooth. it was very, quite, quite 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 where we're sitting together with a journalist with the observers. 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 the see also a lot of competition. i think you're judging by the results. you might think there are, so it's all the same. well, maybe there is another fit before 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 wired to severe and
5:10 pm
multiple attempts to do to disrupt the whole all our systems. but they, they with 3rd the stood and as far as, as far as we were at the moment, we haven't had any infringement on the results onto our other headline news and the gum. an open fire at a university in central russia on monday morning, killing 6 people and entering 28 others. and here's a timeline of those events which does contain upsetting video of what happened the my friends and i were standing at the parking lot and here them trans. we are a gunshot journey and so the shooter standing doing 2 meters away with a shotgun. we're in a different direction where it was cool and she didn't manage to heat any one thing
5:11 pm
got shot and hit my car. luckily, he didn't have any faster. well alive and save me a visit of the crowd of people was running, followed by a young man with a gun who was shooting. i thought it was the next minute so that one person fell on the grass there. why don't we just do this? we're not exercises so we locked the door into jean'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. you know, i didn't have to show this, but when i was leaving university, a group of people had already got tons out. we had to get the minutes earlier. we
5:12 pm
could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually have building time, we're in the 1st notice that it was this little davis, and today me all the sources are the university say a panic button, which could have alerted, everyone on campus wasn't activated because the god responsible was one of the 1st to be killed again, please be aware that the following video is distressing. it's the lead security footage of the incident become and shot his way into the university where the security guard tried to stop in that was immediately killed on traffic police inspector dealing with a nearby road accident, then rushed to the scene heroic officer named as constantine collision risked his life to stop the suspect, who also fired at him. i was on duty and was dealing with the 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,
5:13 pm
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 at me and fired a shot. after that, i fired and returned, the young man fell down, i ran closer and pinned him down. i took away his gun and ammunition and a knife, and then i began administering 1st aid to him. the person suspected of carrying out the shooting is now in hospital where he is understood to be in a critical condition. a local correspondent has the details. so please call me thing happened around noon, according to the various sauces between 11 and 12 o'clock and i sought an unknown person, came to the universe, a ground he passed through a checkpoint and his photo evidence that he started shooting already. then. then he
5:14 pm
went to the main building and opened file that followed him, firing a series of shots inside the building was student teachers, university stuff started jumping out of the windows on the 2nd floor. 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, medics administering 1st a to the lead shoot assistance to the victims was also provided by eye witnesses who at the university at the time of the incident, students, teachers and university stuff. according to the latest information, the shooter is an 18 year old student of former law students, but this information has yet to be verified. in the investigative committee announced that a criminal case has been opened. based on verified videos, understood to show the suspect, leaving his house and getting into a blue mazda that will take him to the university. he has
5:15 pm
a bag with him that may be big enough to hold a gun. again, though, we can't confirm whether this video is genuinely off the band so responsible for the shooting. it's believe that the shooter purchased ammunition to the local guns store last month. this video shows the moment the suspect reaches the counter. and we spoke to the director of an educational center where the suspect completed his weapons training. it later transpired that the direct his child was also a university when the shooting happened. good, pretty nice that he completed his training in april. it's only an 8 hour program for all types of weapons program does not give permission to buy weapons that comes from the licensing department of the national guard cleans, understand the junior committee, the national guard that carries out all checks. the medical commission data is also provided that even the examination is carried out by the national guard inspect, you know, to us. you should also understand that this cannot be foreseen. we cannot look into a person's head into his soul. that's in my child called me now. he studies at this
5:16 pm
university as well and was locked in one of the rooms. when i found out that this beast was studying ital facility, can you imagine how i felt it? thank god, everything seems to be okay with my child. but all this is very hard for me. of course, i have already brought up all documents on this person. officials from the russian investigative committee. what among those at the same compiling him, foundation on this brenda attack here they can be seen photographic evidence and collecting spend cartridges. eye witnesses were also questioned as forensic specialists examined evidence. but kevin, when heard more about the victims from correspondent tunnel court or beginning to see a lot of reports in the media and various media outlets with some initial information about the victims who suffered in this tragic mass shooting. we know that one of the leading medics in the region in which perm is located, where the mass shooting took place. it was margarita and house. and unfortunately
5:17 pm
she was shot dead by the gunman. she was actually on a tour of the university with her grandchild at the time that that happened. so definitely a very tragic incident. and we have gotten some international reaction for an officials from sweden and norway have given their condolences to the families that have lost their loved ones in this, in this mass shooting. and we also heard from president vladimir putin. he gave his comment on, on this situation, he called it an enormous calamity for the entire country because you, my condolences cannot drown out the upset of our loss. this is a huge disaster for the entire country, but the law enforces we'll do the best to investigate this terrible crime and find out the reasons for what has happened. ortiz will take all necessary measures to help the families of the victims and those injured ones. you'd expect a response that coming from the top very soon on, but of course, present potent spoken about this kind of thing before, cuz it's not the 1st time this has happened in russia, at least so it's gonna make big headlines. it is rare,
5:18 pm
but he's spoken about it before and they yeah, absolutely. i mean, i'm sure a lot of people, especially in russia, are watching the tv right now. thinking about probably the last mass shooting that took place that took place just this year actually in may in the russian city of because on back then, the shooter was a 19 year old boy. he was saying things like, he hated everyone around him and he that he said that he was god, he tried to kill himself in the cop car that he was in after he was detained. luckily the police were able to prevent him from doing that. many said he was mentally insane, and the media and people that knew him, the investigative committee has yet to confirm that, but indications are looking that way. let's re revisit those events that transpired in because on oh, who in the
5:19 pm
5:20 pm
gave his condolences to the families that lost loved ones in that terrible mass shooting and we can even go back farther to another mass shooting that took place, encouraged crimea, back in 2018. that had a lot of parallels to what we just saw in cars on actually just on the screen. the shooter back in 2018 and kurtz was 18 years old, just around the same age as the shooter. and because on who was 19 years old, he was also said to have hated everyone at the school. he went to even, apparently idolized the government from the columbine high school shooting that took place in the 1900 ninety's in the united states. and russian president vladimir putin at that time said that the reason for this was, was most likely a consequence of global ization. he said, and going back to the cause on shooting, not just prudent, but other russian officials as well. this brought them to think more about perhaps tightening the gun laws in russia. maybe that this would be a solution to this, to these a string of shootings. and that has made it up all the way up to the government.
5:21 pm
duma and the politicians have been talking about it, but it hasn't been passed yet. maybe this. this 3rd one could push policy in that direction. european commission president has described treatment of frowns by 3 non a you countries as unacceptable follows australia, abruptly dishing and existing multi $1000000000.00 submarine contract with paris in favor of the united states. as a new security pact between cambra london and washington was reveal, francis responded with a cancellation of top level events with the u. k. has these the alley now explains the french defense ministry cancelling summit that was due to be held bilateral summit with the british. we understand that there were reports of florence, paula, who is the french defense minister, personally called for that meeting to be council. the british side are denying it. they say that this is merely a postponement. it's not a cancellation of that meeting. the french side haven't commented on those reports
5:22 pm
yet, but that it all comes, of course, as tensions continue higher as losing out on billions in contracts supply. the latest announcement of a new license, if you will, between the u. k. the united states and australia, part of that is the analysis of a multi $1000000000.00 submarine deal. the only snag is australia had already agreed to deal with the french according to paris and that they are now renee going on that to deal. and some of the words coming out from the french side really harsh when it comes to their view of events, saying that when 2 sides reach an agreement, they must stick to that word. keeping one's word is the condition of trust between democracies and between allies. so it is unthinkable to move forward on trade negotiations as if nothing had happened with a country in which we no longer trust. now, part of the political fallout continues as
5:23 pm
a result of this decision by the french governments. recall that some buffet is to both the united states and australia and the french foreign minister joined eve ledger the on again outlining the deep sense of anger in paris over these developments. there was a lie, there was due place city. there was a major breach of trust in there was disdain. so things are not going well between us, not at all. it means that there is a crisis. we cannot play like this between allies and when you have an ally, you don't treat it in such a brutal and unpredictable way don't. so there is really a crisis to put the flag matters was the wiki leaks. publishing group have released the number of documents, exposing american conduct towards france during the 2012 elections in front of the spots of these documents show an intention on the part of the cia to conduct infiltration of some of the political parties taking plot. now again,
5:24 pm
all of this comes against the backdrop of those ties between america and some of its close. his allies already strained because of the manner and the chaos the matter in which made so led by the u. s. history from afghanistan already many french and other continental european powers, calling for europe to go its own way when it comes to military affairs. and these types of developments with a seemingly the anglo phone world sticking together will do nothing to make those ties any stronger. next, as if the trouble of caribbean nation of haiti wasn't enough trauma with hundreds of thousands displaced by the deadly earthquake in august and political term on off the president's assassination. now the united states is piling on the agony by reporting thousands of illegal migrants back to the impoverished nation. haitian authorities are pleading for a humanitarian moratorium on the flights which started on sunday, bringing around $300.00 migrants to the haitian capital. 6 more flights are
5:25 pm
expected on tuesday. the us so far it is looking to expel some $17000.00 people. most of them asians from the texas border with mexico. some of being kept in holding facilities slow, many more remained in a makeshift camp under a bridge in the south of the state. the biden administration came on to 5 from the mayor of the texas city of the center of the crisis, as well as from the states governor. i think the parents of texas and i did it at the white house. i definitely need to address and address way send in real time and let you know, but happening it is the federal government's job to secure our border. but the bottom ministration has failed to do his job. over the last week, the board of city of del rigo was overwhelmed by an influx of migrants who crossed the rio grande river along which the border runs and set up camp. the migrants were reportedly emboldened by rumour suggesting that joe biden had opened the border.
5:26 pm
ah ah ah, the by name ministration is, is absolutely darrell active duty here. he's the only president of the united states that can claim that he's created a crisis to crisis at the same time, one in our southern border and one in afghan. a stand. it's not only a humanitarian crisis is also a national security one in the early turn of the century. at 20th century 1900100. when immigrants came in through ellis island, there were the protocol and procedures, and there was a separation of those who were sick to be quarantined until they were determined
5:27 pm
fit to be able to enter the population so that they would not go into new york city in larger portions of the united states and in fact others. and that's, that's the way that we should be doing this now. but, but as you, as you notice, there are so many number a number of illegal immigrants at our southern border that it's impossible for us to put any protocols in place other, other than to put them in to detention centers or just do catching really. so that's the way it looks for moscow so far this how, thanks very much for choosing in. i'm calling bright. i'll be back with you next update in just under 33 minutes from now with the the the,
5:28 pm
the ah, working room, or should she popped in? she said, well, i'm getting ready to go shopping for christmas. and we, we said there was a good device to another, shooting another safe part of american life. shattered by violence. the gunman was armed with an a ar 15 any automatic rifle. when the issue comes home, it's time to act. when we're filing on this issue, the other side wins by default, lady that lived over there. i was walking one of the dogs. why do you wear again? were you scared? i took it off and i think people need to take responsibility in their own hands and be prepared if those kinds of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number that
