according to revise. the figures coming in to us at ortiz, che bowes joins me in the studio and an extraordinary attack on a civilian at bar that cafe in the center of saint petersburg to they che, what's known? well, we're getting updates as they occur. we know this is ostensibly at a terrorist attack, even if there's been a criminal case opened by the interior ministry that has all the hallmarks of an assassination attempt via an indiscriminate bomb attack unit. at the number of injure it has risen to 25 people. and we know that one person has died flatland to tar ski. at flatland to touch, you operated a large telegram channel. he was a war blogger, a journalist, a correspondent, and independent correspondent. he had fought in the dom boss between 20142017. so

that a lot of connections in the militias in dumbass and lou hands. so he was a very experienced person in that region. and we know that he had 560000 followers on, on telecom, very influential. it's very influential figured. and so that done. it's a youth policy, sports and tourism minister has confirmed his debt. and the preliminary data shows that the cafe was attacked via a statuette of sorts during a some sort of a presentation. and the actual group that was giving that presentation have made a statement and they're called cyber front c. and we can actually have a look at that. stager now dear friends and colleagues, during our event, a terrorist attack occurred in the cafe we hired. we took certain security measures, but unfortunately they were not enough. we express our condolences to the families

and friends of the victims. special condolences to every one who knew the wonderful war, correspondence in our good friend flatland petoskey. now we are cooperating with law enforcement and hope that all the perpetrators will be punished. unfortunately, we can't tell you anything else yet. yeah, so we also have now as we receive this information as it comes in to has taken fast information that ad, the gentleman's name was maxine foreman. he was born in dom boss in makin city, as i said, he had fought in the militia in lou gantski previously. and we're also now receiving a statement from witnesses at the scene, which we can also have a look at now. ok. please be sure to see my friend and i were walking towards the university embankment and at that time we heard an explosion. it was a dull explosion like a pop. after about 10 to 15 minutes,

we found ourselves in the heart of the events. there were not so many eye witnesses . i asked those who were there. only a few people understood what was going on. we didn't realize at the time that it was a terrorist attack, but we understood that it wasn't safe for us to be there. at that time, we saw that many wounded people were coming out. there were 2 ambulances, firefighters were nearby. people were being carried out on stretches. you and i saw something covered on a stretcher like a corpse. it was an unpleasant site that we were there for 2 minutes and then left . yes, so we here che, our learning more about the person who was killed. but as you see, he was an influential figure. in, in russia, particularly during russia's military operation, came to a, i suppose, a bigger, a bigger audience. yeah. as i said, he ran a very large telegram channel and you know that, that type of numbers on telegram are quite big. so he would have been influential.

he would have also had military knowledge having served in the militias and a lot of his postings. where about actually the, the combat that went on in the region and having been from the region, he would have had a lot of connections with the authorities there. and had, would have at 1st hand information at to relate to people. so it was a very popular channel unit. and this happened, as i said, j. well, just over 2 hours ago. yeah. and now so an investigator were speaking there, we saw some of it, there was a statue of it appears that being an i e d, and improve a very organized and well put together a targeted assault. as we mentioned earlier, it was an indiscriminate assault on it. it could have killed many more and we know that there's 25 injured now, but that number may rise with one fatality being at the apparent target of this. but it does bear the same hallmarks as the us attack the fatal attack on diarrhea

due gonna last year, who was killed in a car bomb, which was extensively a targeting her father, a prominent russian philosopher. so i think at we can, we can put 2 and 2 together here and, and very, you know, almost accurately suggest who is probably behind this attack unit. us spies as regards that duke and a murderer did say later or was discovered that that they had said that it was authorized by quote, parts of the ukrainian government at. so yeah, i suppose we can, but well, no more in the coming hours as well. and when it's more verified, i'm more reaction, i suppose from the russian government as well. we'll talk more in the shape. bring this right up to date though, at one person dead. 25. no wounded following not to deadly explosion in st. petersburg. and just some more reaction i got within the hour from political unless

than scientists get more. cough he said indeed us, she was just going through the same pattern, was used to kill russian journalist doria do gonna, and he believes ukraine's hands is very much in play. in this attack, my good time to send that generous up that could be granted by specific military incentives incentives, always a defense mean. it's always that you pay because it's been organized by by is the 2nd is ation. they do that. and as we know, the evidence is that's exactly, keep organized to, to stuff like again that i know i've been financial and that's, that was the last but i'll show you a little off nice. i mation about school again, eyes all serious and nice. come back to nike and from our point of view, it also can look more broadly. and we will see that knowing why i

keep being killed because of terrace at that it's glare that russia can not use disease smith, box darkness or ski gene k been killed because executors, as it said, that are not on the against roger. but mostly important was i thank you, jeez, every board here who are supporting special media and what i showed you and who publicly express of your soul is this is also attack against freedom of speech in the russians. and i want a 1000 people to be raised to support rational military patients also get up to select to go on psychological eval against human portions because some period of work is a native teacher or bridge

a dental rational argument. and it's not important good to be back in the nice to go to hide away formation, shade, or russian or church. well, let's say discuss events now live in the shoot with former us marine and geo political analyst, and blogger, john mark. thanks very much for coming in, john and limited detail with his help and just 2 and a half hours ago or so. an investigation of course, ongoing were just waiting more details, but the are seeping through more about what occurred your initial reaction though to the attack. well, i was surprised. i was surprised because the, you know, i lost another colleague several months ago. doria, deanna and you know,

we'd spend time in dumbass together and we did some projects together. and now him and, you know, i have to see maybe some anger because you only see this happening to the russian journalist. you don't see the russians bombing any journalists in the west . so you knew daria diggler? yeah, yeah. well, and do you see parallels in her death? there were, of course, influential journalists, both people. but what appears to been, i would say the crude way this was carried, i'd have, it was fine to have been an actual murder attack, which very much looks like a terrorist attack right now. yeah, of course is us definitely parallels both bombs. it looks like it may have been carried out in

a very pre planned, very plotted way. and there was a lot of thought that obviously went into this fits if the details are correct, that we're hearing now that a lot of thought went into this. and same thing with dory deanna, a lot of thought went into carrying out her attack as well. so certainly it could have been the same group, they had to have some intelligence and they had to have significant research to do this for him. yeah, we'll probably get into the details in a moment because that that's of a deadly situation. that is, that is an intriguing aspect. how was able to get carried out in st. petersburg, but doria duke and was influential. she was, and a supporter of the operation sport, or

a lot of work couldn't. and blogger was talking about here, from the west, coming in, in killing russian journalists. they don't want their points of view to be erred. they have no defense against it. so they have to hide mouse. i think it's just to point out, but what occurred with doria duke, and when she was killed in august, reciprocity services and concluded that it was the ukrainian military thought he had done. not up it, but print jones. ah, it looks pretty crude. a lot of thought would have went into it, but to 25 other people. what's your thoughts and tactics like that? this is not a regular just off the street group. that it takes time you're saying to do it takes time and you know, the statue, it wasn't that big. it would have taken something a lot more than gunpowder to do this. it would have taken some fast burning,

like either patent or c for some very compact, yet very blows of device. i know i used to do this in the marine corps and so this is not stuff you can just get from the string. this is stuff that they had from the military or from some western military. does it look? i know i'm putting a lot of questions in your head on, on the basis that we just can't verify, but does it look as if it was placed there sent there? how would i, how would something like that get to the stage of, of, of a, of a talk by a prominent blogger. we heard earlier in the program, not on verified. again, i need to stress that a woman had handed over something, but we simply don't am. the organizers of the event said that they had

a security measures in place, but admitted it wasn't enough, but i would suggest it's high sinai, impossible to stop something that this will everything, and anything that happens, it's always going to be hindsight. so, you know, i mean, i don't want to i guess they shouldn't blame themselves because they were taken security protocols. but you know, now in the future, just more protocols are going to have to be paid. is attacks on civilians because we simply don't know who was in the audience here. could have been family young the speak, your son was there and usually it is events. it is only civilians that don't have people from the military there. it's people that want to hear from people who've actually been there who've actually seen it and who can tell what they've seen,

you know, for themselves on the part of everybody like nobody, nobody is certain. and it really helps to talk to people who've been there. and i'm sure that this is probably one of those types of events and it was nothing but civilian. you make a very good point. people going to an event like that would most likely be civilians wanting to hear directly 1st hand the experiences of people who went to.
