but it shows the aftermath of the attack from inside the st. food bar venue. we blurred some of the distressing images of the victim. the cafe was left devastated by the force of the blast with a wreckage of tables and chairs scattered over the room among the debris. here we can see some more footage from outside the site of the bloss. this video, released by the russian investigative committee, shows the force of the glass which blew up the cafes windows. the cafes interior is almost unrecognizable with the ceiling collapsing in the explosion. we heard from one of the victims of the blast who was taken to the hospital for treatment and who spoke to tar ski just moments before the explosion of shows was whimsical. i was talking to my compatriot woodland, to starsky. i managed to ask him a couple of questions and then the blast happened after that i left the building with everybody else. but fortunately, the police and ambulance arrived very quickly express immense gratitude to the

doctors. they're just saying, i take my head off away from them. i've been in this cctv video. a woman is seen entering the cafe where the bloss happen carrying a box. she suspected to be the person who brought the explosive device into the building, which was eventually given to blood lead to tar ski. the russian investigative committee has conducted a search of the suspects apartment with the federal security service also reported to be working on the scene. according to media reports, a family member of the suspect has been detained. while the woman who brought the device to the site is still at large. hello. so let's cross live now to our correspondence, don quarter coming to us from st. petersburg dawn. can you take us through the situation on the ground right now and the aftermath of the attack? sure, well, what you can see right behind me is the cafe, where this blast took place and the aftermath in general of the blast. you could

see the destruction that, that explosion wrought on that cafe. you can also see that 1st responders are on the scene as well as government investigators trying to get to the bottom of what exactly happened here. so far they've established that 30 people. unfortunately, i've been wounded in connection to this incident, and of course one person has been killed. the russian war correspondent blad, lend to tar ski. he was 40 years old and really rose to fame with his war corresponding sarah after the beginning of russia's military operation. and ukraine now, right now, around $700.00 police officers are searching around the city for a girl that i witnesses are saying, brought a statue with an explosive device inside and handed it over his event at this had to say about it, which on the new i'm you know, from the, the 1st she took the microphone and started asking questions, and she said, do you remember lathan? i gave you a postcard. he said, is this the one you drew?

she replied, yes. then she continued. now i would like to give you a statue. she said that when she entered the cafe, she was asked whether it was a bomb and was asked to leave the statue at the entrance. and she brought it to the stage and gave it to london. it was a golden head in the helmet. it didn't look like a flat when it and everyone laughed and they put it down. they put it back, and suddenly everything exploded. the smoke appeared, and then everything was like in slow motion, every one ran. those who were near by were covered in blood. i go stand in room and whenever it happened, she came out with me up to me. after some time from she 10 minutes, an explosion account from my seat. it looked like smoke and fire somewhere in the distance. people came out and the girl came out with their own mouse. there was a crowd that ran out some one normally kinda scared, and some had red blood is smudges under faces. my name is dana cordova. my friends and i was a while rushes investigative committee is investigating this incident as

a murder. it's also said that it's possible this girl did not know that there was an explosive device inside the statue there. also this, this also has to do with reports that her bag was actually checked before she entered the building by security guards who cleared that bag for entry. but it's important to understand that this is just one of several explanations for what exactly happened that the investigative committee is looking into right now. but according to one friend of an organizer of this event where the explosion took place, he says that this is the most likely scenario. i just did, for example, 99 percent certain that the statuette exploded. who gave him the statute. do you know? nathan bought it good or they said that a woman introduced herself, said she was from list. i don't know whether it's true or not. this is a bookstore. oh, let's go to specials that i can tell you bother get an invitation. luther more

which maybe there was an issue on a well the any records of these people shortage clergy hills. ah, i can't say because i'm not the only organizer, but the fact that every one will be found. that's you sure. now don, how has moscow reacted to this attack, and have we seen any condemnation yet from the wes? well, we've heard from the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria's a horror of a she said, and this is despite the fact that fear of has rejected involvement. in this incident, she said that russian journalists are facing more and more seriously grave threats from kiev and ukraine. and the west has basically turning a blind eye to all that. let's take a listen. journalists are constantly hearing death threats from the keep regime and his supporters, which are increasingly being implemented there, harassed branded in the literal sense with special markings on the digital platforms of american internet monopolies. well, there is a witch hunt in the western media. all this happens with the tactic,

disregard of the romans international structures which now can be interpreted as an approval if not complicity. in any case of the violent death of a russian journalist which was assessed by the caf regime and his thugs, as a success, neither western countries nor international organizations, nor foreign professional communities, conducted investigations. they didn't even show elementary human sympathy. not so long ago, the west was fighting extreme asthma, terrorism marching with the united from paris in defense of journalists against whom terrorist attacks were committed to day, the lack of reaction, the white house down the street, the alleys, a palace, et cetera, given they are claimed concerned for the welfare of journalists and freedom of journal speaks for itself. there are also some reports that the police may have detained a one girl that may have been that girl who passed over the statuette to laud lun to tar ski up. according to these reports, this is a, this is a girl that has been detained in the past that anti government read a demonstration several times and even allegedly transferred money to an

organization that is considered an extremist organization in the russian federation . although these reports are unconfirmed, we will continue to bring you new details as they become available. t correspondent don corridor in st. petersburg. thank you. political scientist and retired u. s. military officer. scott bennett, believes such attacks against journalist are aimed at silencing the truth. this is a pivot moment. this is a change in the direction and the nature of the conflict, largely because everyone with the brain recognizes ukraine has lost this conflict, and russia is victorious as we've seen them move and elsewhere. so this isn't an elevation of the, a symmetrical terrorism campaign that the united states and britain has been orchestrating from the the attack against aria geena to the crimea bridge. they are targeting the journalists to silence. they are telling of truth

and what the truth has been is that ukraine has become a puppet of the united states as head biochemical labs on its territory. earlier our t shape, bol spoke to my colleague union o'neill about the important role to char, played in covering frontline stories in the don bass. well, i think it's important to say that there's huge shock, and there's anger, i think, as well as friends and colleagues are sort of making statements which are, you know, dumbfounded at this event in the center of a large city. the 2nd city, if you like, of, of russia to free media has become anything but free, and those that are portraying themselves as the defenders of freedom of speech have become essentially quite the opposite. in some ways, wlan petoskey was the man killed. he's a well known figure, online che prominence as well in his work at ticket through what's known about him

. vladin petoskey, his real name. actually maxime, a foam in it 40 years old. and he hails from a place called mackey cur. in ad dumbass, it's a, it's, it's, it's a smaller town than done. it's a city, but it's, it's adjoining it. it's essentially a conservation of $22.00 towns. so he would have grown up in a don at skin, the don bass a he fought during the initial stages of this conflict between 20142017 in the dumbass, who hands malicious. so he would have had a 1st hand knowledge of the conflict or he would have been essentially a local, a man who would have had significant contacts and access to the front lines, which i think would have fed into his huge following. and he was a prominent blogger, and, and a journalist that you say over 560000 a followers on the telegram platform. and anyone who uses telegram as millions now

due to access 1st hand information, it would tell you that the 560000 followers is a significant following or on telegram. let's now cross library journalists and political analysts. john rowley. john, good morning. what's your reaction to everything we know so far about this attack? the check, it was horrifying, and it's very suspicious that it comes. but about 4 days after wall street journal journalist was detained in moscow. so raises the question, could this attack on the russian blogger, the work corresponded? could this be a sort of a signal so being sent to, to russia, as they don't touch our journalists, let our journalists go. i think it could be, i think, you know, the american and british secret services could possibly possibly be behind this attack. well, how likely is it that kia had no knowledge about the terror attack, considering they distance itself from the blast so quickly that no, we all know

a kid at this point. they're just puppets are just being manipulated in years. i don't think i'm capable of doing much not. they can't do much in the battlefield as we've seen over the past 6 months. i don't think they have the resources to do anything anywhere in the world. i just miss, i really do this here. possible involvement, and i more likely, i think, need to look at american and british secret services. and unfortunately, i said, unfortunate because i'm american and this would be discussing if my government is involved with this killing. well, there have been many comparisons to the murder of daria. do you think there could be a link between these 2 murders as well? or definitely, there's certainly an effort to shut up journalists journals. we're trying to report the truth or the truth over the past 9 years. now, even like someone like myself who's, you know, i'm a journalist, i'm an analyst. i'm quite informed. you know, it took me really,

if you go back in 2014 to 15, it really took me year to understand what was really happening done boss, that, that just tells you how much information of flow flow to mation is controlled in the u. s. there's so little accurate, incredible, and reliable information getting out of done boss getting out of the content zone to, to the west. it's very, very hard for people in the west understand what's going on because the, the, the, it's almost to tell terry and the situation here, you know, they pick certain subjects like ukraine and they stablish the authority, stablish, total control over the information flow. but thanks to, to platforms a kilogram that the information flow that gets out somehow gets out to a wider to a wider audience. but still it's a very small audience. if you look at the overall, the american, british european audience. exactly. and regarding how the incident happened and reports suggest, the journalist was handed a hand made bomb that was hidden in a statue. what your opinion does this tactic tell us about who could be behind the

attack? you obviously has quite sophisticated. i mean i, i really doubt that a, i mean no offense to young lady, but i really don't think young lady is going to find 200 grams of t n p and create this bomb. unless she went through a special training program, it prompts the camp. by the way, we know the near time deported in june 2022 last june. that the british new americans are training ukrainian terrorists and sometimes groups the near time to report that that's almost a year ago. so think of how much they've done, how many people they have trying to commit terrorist attacks sabotage attack in the past year. maybe this young woman, this possible suspect, maybe she went to one of these camps. i'm just say again, i'm speculating here. and of course the authorities love to, to establish these facts. and the organizers of the events said they had security measures in place, but admitted they weren't strong enough at this moment. is it possible to keep

journal a safe? no, i think or journalist now have to be very, very careful. think really hard about their security. no matter where they are, i mean, i'm sorry, journalists who speak the truth, who try to tell the truth about what's happened. i mean, if you're working for a major american or british media, you have obviously nothing to worry about. because you are the fact that working for the us government of the british government and you're fine. but for the real genuine journalist, we're trying to tell the truth. they have a lot to be worried about. unfortunately. now this is an attack on civilians. what can be the motive behind this and other attacks? well, also don't forget, you know, another goal of these people who are behind the attack is to create more fear and panic and russian society to and for people to russians to start to doubt their own government. so it is also psychological warfare and basically trying to say that

the russian government can keep you safe. so, you know, the russian people are going to really have to decide, you know, are they ready to really fight your, the war and come home know, to moscow and saint petersburg? you know, for sure. i know a lot of people in russia and the major cities, and they're not taking this conflict seriously. unfortunately, don't take it seriously. they go about their lives, they try, they try to block out the special milk operation in ukraine. but you know what it's coming. it's coming home to them, and let's, let's say the truth. nato wants to destroy russia. you know, if i was a russian, i would be really upset in panicking. and again, the good thing we got to do something, we got to do something. these people want to destroy our country. we have to fight . now this could also be viewed as an escalation. what kind of reaction should we expect from the kremlin? if kids involvement is proven? oh, gear again, i think it's more like nato involvement. and like i said, new york times reported in june 2022. the us in the british are training terrorist

groups and sabotage groups. they've been operating mil topple right in some of the new russian regions they've been, they've been killing civilians. carried out terrorist attacks. they don't get my, they don't get the headlines too often. but these a terrorist attacks actually are happening quite often. and i'm sorry, but it's like, you know, the west is crossing all these red lines in my moscow is not really reacting. and the west thinks moscow is weak because musket is not react strongly. the, the west is almost emboldened, encouraged, and they keep thinking, i think for themselves, let's keep doing it. moscow is not going to really retaliate against us against the west, right? they might, they might launch some strikes against targets and ukraine. but of course, moscow is educating to launch attacks against nato because obviously that, that ignite world war 3 of greater war in europe. so nobody really wants, nobody wants that. but in what should we have reckless people in power in washington in london, in brussels. and they're the ones were pushing,

trying to push russia to do something extremely rash that could ignite a major war in the entire continent. could we say that terror attacks against civilians and journalists are used as a tool by some, perhaps nato, perhaps anybody in the west to achieve a political goal? we can just look at the what the data has been during the past 2025 years. so that the bombing campaign terrible bombing terror campaign against serbia. of course, what happened in iraq and syria. so using her methods or shocking or using the term terror method is quite, you know, it's just part of the rule book by which nato operates and fortune again. as an american, i'm disgusted by this, i'm discussing that my government that you know, our tax dollars goes towards war invasion, terror attacks across the globe over the past 25 years. so in that sense, what happened yesterday?

it's almost like nothing new. it's what's just been happening over the past for just another instant in a long line of horrible crime committed over the past 25 years by natal governance jeril sam political analysts, john bertoli. thank you. thank and archie war corresponded, who was lot of blood, la glenn, her car school friend shared his emotional reaction over the death of a fellow conflict zone reporter louis national. all the comrade in arms dice this absolutely no, was i just saw not into tars can last week. events were amendment to france. andrea also called tommy who died recently. maxine is also not with us now. i want to give myself a gill trip regards. humidity with a special security forces of statesmen are to blame me, trying to look for guilty. one wants improve the sensation. what i want to say for sure is that russia said, because people like him shut their blogs, our homeland is alive to these kinds of people. russian war correspondence as well

as other media figures, believe there are certain parallels to be drawn with a similar attack that took the life of another prominent journalist. daria duke, and last year she was killed in a car bomb attack. in august 2022. daria was a journalist and the daughter of a prominent russian philosopher, moscow claimed ukrainian security forces were responsible for that attack, something kiev denies. we heard from former us marine and geo political analysts, john mark doogan, who believes there's been an effort to silence per russian journalists using violent means. i was surprised because, you know, i lost another colleague several months ago during deanna. and, you know, we had spent time in dumbass together and we did some projects together. and now him, and, you know, i have to say 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 . 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 beforehand. we've seen the west, they are doing everything they can to silence the journalists that are either the even neutral or have a pro russian stance. so they're doing everything they can with the censorship de monetization or deletion of their social media channels. and even resorting to these bombings now, like i said,

you don't see this happening to western journalists or ukrainian journalists done at the hands of russian forces. now, you only see this terrorist activity done by ukraine and people from the west coming in in killing russian journalists because they don't want their points of view to be erred. they have no defense against it. so they have to hide. the truth is coming out of their mouth. every terrorist attack we have seen in this operation has been done by the ukrainian military for the west. and we're talking, yes, just the not just the car bombings, but we're talking about the bridge to crimea. we're talking about the nurturing pipeline. every single significant can terrorist attack, or every single terrorist attack has been carried out by these western elements. and it's really, it's, it's disturbing. flatland to tar ski with featured in an arcade documentary only

it was 7 years or was too high for me. so for me to put me on the chair by the law, i used to run over here, abuse somebody and run her and she kept solution with themselves. some of them are my real. didn't make it jerking themselves to death over too soon . but yeah, what it may make me the person i am today because i'm afraid i don't give up anything. investigations were too often handled differently because the deceased was indigenous. so many of the worst criminals got away the bishop's got away. the ones we've done, most of the damage never got charged. ah, hello, i'm manila chad. you are tuned into modus operandi. it's no secret that the joe

biden administration has employed countless obama era officials. hence, the joke in the us that the biden government is the 3rd term of brock obama tonight, will profile one byte, an admin official, who critics say is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent lives. now leading america's top international aid agency, find out just who we're talking about next. all right, let's get into the ammo. ah, she's been call the butcher of yemen by some during her stead. as b u. s. a basket or to be you when, when she blocked the vote to investigate human rights violations by the saudis, against the arab world poorest country. she is also known as one of the architects behind the destruction of libya during president obama's time as

a key adviser on his national security council. her memoir, the education of an idealist, was roundly lauded by political elite despite the book downplaying her role in both international human rights catastrophes. her previous book from 2002 called a problem from how america and the age of genocide won her a pulitzer prize. and is often cited in academia as a case to be made for military intervention on the grounds of human rights. today, samantha power heads us a id handpicked by the binding administration for her breath of experience in foreign policy. usa id is of course, america's foremost agency in the way of global soft power, distributing aid like food and medical supplies to needy countries.
