but we are now returning to what is happening in istanbul, we recall there thundered, an explosion in the city center thundered. it is at about 16:20, as the governor of istanbul said four people were killed, at least 38 were injured, it is reported that the wounded have already received medical assistance. really in the first

minutes. after the explosion thundered, ambulances and a police car were sent there, the street was blocked. the russian consulate general does not have information about compatriots who could be damaged by the explosion. and once again we recall it happened on a pedestrian street and glass, it goes to the central square, a taxi. we this street is very popular with tourists on it , the consulate general of russia is located here, according to eyewitness reports. the explosion was far from the depression building, the street is still blocked. uh, people were evacuated, including neighboring alleys, the istanbul prosecutor general's office considers a terrorist attack as a version of the causes of the explosion, and presumably an explosive device was, uh, in a bag that the criminals left on the street and also here is known approximately. an hour after the explosion, the turkish authorities banned local tv channels and other

media from broadcasting live from the scene of the emergency. in general, publishing news related to the tragedy on steklal street, this ban is temporary and in turkey it is a common practice when covering the consequences of terrorist attacks. here is what andrei andrianov, the russian consulate general in istanbul, told us. downtown istanbul on the tourist street istiklal, an explosion occurred, the causes of which were supposedly the detonation of an explosive device about the message of the governor of the province. istanbul ali yerlikaya as a result of the incident, there are dead and injured data are being clarified in reality , just information about the injured russian citizens is not located. well, of course, the news agency and telegram channels are now replete with footage from the scene, which was filmed by eyewitnesses, there are a lot of fakes among them, so you need to pay attention to this information contact, we will show footage. well

, as tested as possible now. and here, for example, here are the shots that got on the surveillance camera. let's look at them and pay special attention. spend some time with this, please . hmm, let's do it. i will now rewind these pedestals to such concrete pedestals in which trees grow. this is happening in many cities with apparently , this is the version now, the police are probably also considering an explosive device was planted in one of them, there are mortar frames, which we have already done, and also filmed eyewitnesses of the consequences of this explosion. here you can see the direction of the armature. it is directed from outside, as if outside, uh, most likely, it is not excluded that this is the bag with explosives, about which the law enforcement agencies are talking about. she was abandoned. exactly there, in the frames that we have already shown before, it was obvious that there were a lot of people on the street. uh, of course, they showed how people run, how they showed how ambulances drive. well let's try collect information directly from turkey and

what kind of information there is now appearing in the media and, uh, also on the internet. uh, our colleague yulia nimble joins us and gets in direct contact with us. uh, just from turkey julia greetings and what is known, and the explosion in istanbul by this hour? i now understand that it is clear that collecting information now is also not very easy due to the fact that there was a certain ban in turkey on e. hmm, the publication of some materials, including on television and in other media, for the time being, now there is a special operation going on there services. hello dmitry, at the moment, indeed, in the turkish media, there is very little to learn about what happened, even if you just turn on the tv channel, any turkish information is given, either in a very concise version, or not at all. i talked to several vendors on the streets that are not far from the historic center with hotel owners and almost all of them do not know at all about what happened in one of the neighboring districts of the city. that is, there is no such thing that everyone walks and

discusses it for some time according to our observations. but this is unofficial information, beyond a large interval. trams ran along the central streets. in addition, we observed several ambulances and several fire engines moving out too. right there towards the center. and here it must be said that istanbul has, as such, two centers, probably, yes, they are located on different banks, and soon a bay of golden hands and one center. it is so historical here is agia sophia and other sights. this is the fatih district and the chambers, including another district on the other side. he it’s also touristic where it’s located, just the street is glassy, ​​but it’s more modern and more governmental. that is, all government agencies, by and large , are located exactly on the bank where the explosion occurred. it's not clean, it's a tourist area. as for the tourists on the other side, where are

the sights here, as i already said everything is quite calm and uh, such kind of active panic is not observed from the changes that have been seen in recent days the police have been plying police cars stand on several branches away from large streets towards small alleys. that's what i seem to be and i and tomsi. today a little earlier on again our bodies. here you see how the blinds are also closing on one of them, but not much earlier, too, in the region of half an hour and, in my opinion, a new one. they just did n’t even reach it, and i remind you that by this time it’s already known for certain that four of the dead have died, and while the number of victims is given as 36, various sources remind various numbers, including 38 somewhere. i have already seen over 50. but these figures have not been officially confirmed by anything, only 36 people initially gave 11, and we will

follow the incoming information only for the victims. and as far as possible to report it to you dmitry yes yulia thank you was our turkey correspondent yulia nimble, who follows a little in a different area. i understand she is keeping an eye on it. how is information now coming or e not coming to the inhabitants of this largest city? i am informed by another of our colleagues maria gladkikh with mash comes in touch with us. we welcome there was glass on this street. i have also been there several times and uh, of course, there are a lot of people there always and on those frames that we are now showing, but turkish tv channels cannot do this yet, because they have a certain law and it was entered into force, but it does not apply to us, so we naturally can show them. and what can be said now in general in istanbul. are there many foreign tourists? how many people on the streets in that area could

be? well, what are they talking about? and yes, dmitry the fact is that istanbul is such a city that has always been foreign tourists, but especially er, from autumn to er, spring. this is the most tourist season in istanbul because in summer tourists still prefer to relax on the sea prefer antalya prefer from the world prefer bodrum e. basically, of course, the tourist flow now is autumn. this spring is the most, so to speak. uh, touristy, uh, seasonal in this city, but the street was running out. she is known for being unimportant. which tourist season non-tourist what day of the week monday, sunday, saturday evening morning day - it is absolutely unimportant. there is always a huge number of people. well, for you to understand, this is approximately how arbat street in moscow is such a main, central street, and unfortunately it looks every single day, approximately like nikolskaya street during the world cup,

when there was nowhere to fall an apple and when the number of people just rolled over, that is, they literally have to shoulder to shoulder. and people are like as a rule, both locals and tourists are tourists from all over the world, it's not only russia it's also france sweden america england a huge number of spanish tourists. i saw on the streets. they are very fond of visiting istanbul as well, and according to reports, the explosion was said to have allegedly been near the russian gonconcern, this information is not confirmed, but nevertheless i want to note that not only the russian consulate general is located in istanbul on the street to exterminate other countries as well . and this is sweden spain great britain the netherlands greece and france uh, also, well, originally from about the 17th century. there have always been a large number of embassies on this street. uh, that's exactly what it was craft trade street, as she called it. the length of this area begins this street from the square, taksin, and, uh, the

length. it is about 1.5 km long, so that you understand how large the flow of people is and goes to the golden horn bay, as well as a favorite, of course, for local tourists when reports of an explosion appeared. e approximately hmm reported. i read turkish news reports that from the neighboring regions, these are shishli and beishiktash. even an explosion was heard. at that moment i was walking in the shishli area, but i was in the room, so uh, this khlopov, this very moment of the explosion. i didn’t hear, again, i heard what my colleague was saying that, uh, supposedly not really anyone knows more there. i don’t really agree with this, because wherever i went, everywhere the locals called their relatives in front of me and said you were fine. are you okay. is everything all right? that is, everyone is now discussing. that's how i hear on the street what happened and call their loved ones to find out if they were there moment, because the probability is very high. uh, on this street there is, and

a huge number of branded clothing stores, a huge number of such small passages, where tourists also buy all sorts of tourist ones. uh, all sorts of souvenirs sets, and a huge number of offices, a large number of restaurants, a large number of nightclubs, there are all sorts of small shops of hamams, that is, these are all crowded places. eh, that is any person, in principle, could be there, and at this time yes, here, of course, it is also interesting. this uh ban, how the tv channels immediately obeyed this ban. i mean, well, there are footage already. e in many e sources that go, for example, news, it is clear that this is the main topic of the hour. this is news. it is discussed with experts, then the presenter apologizes. he says that we have received such an order, and we cannot continue this with some other news. that's how real. and in turkey this ban often applied, as far as it is actually

performed by the media . it is very difficult to give hmm a clear picture of what is happening as much as possible, as you and i know, especially the first minutes to give some kind of reliable information talked a lot. at first , some videos were shown, they turned out to be wrong. those videos were fake videos. they also said at first that 11 people were injured. and they talked about four dead, now it is confirmed. it's already been confirmed. uh, istanbul authorities confirmed that uh four people were killed and 38 injured, but as before, this information is being specified, because now all the services of the city are sleeping. e in the practice area on the street is blocked, so my friends were also there on the spot, and not far from the place for there was an explosion. and they, in a roundabout way, in other small streets, are trying to get out of here to find a taxi to find some kind of transport to leave, because of course panic of course all the people that thousands of people were on the street. they began

to leave from there, and they need to somehow disperse. it 's hard to go there, to be honest. even in the usual quiet time is how they are now driving around and trying to leave of course the traffic. e, of course e, even here on the neighboring districts of neighboring districts. so i was, as they say, not far from the shishliny area. i was there, even there was a huge amount. uh, sirens, a lot of ambulances were heard passing by, a lot of policemen immediately put up policemen who regulated traffic on trips. as soon as possible to special services. e, that is, e, well, this is such a tense enough situation, but plowing they don't talk about any specific versions, but the main version that is being considered is a possible terrorist attack. maybe someone left a chest, maybe left in a little flower bed like that, which is right here where the trees grow and so small, maybe put it there. the fact is that e is the chosen place. as they say, if this is

a terrorist attack. yes we say, again the chosen place is not a randomly chosen place. the maximum coverage of people, well, that is, on no other street, istanbul decided not to do this, she is the most crowded and the most touristic. uh, the streets it was done. if this is again a terrorist attack a and to be honest uh leave something there somewhere on the street don't cause any problem. again, due to the huge number of people, it is extremely difficult to notice something happening on this street in such a crowd, and plus he is. i think that very soon we will find out how some new details, because the whole street is just strewn with cctv cameras. as i have already said, there are quite a lot of consulates general there. and ah official institutions and voices of heavenly foxes - this is one of the best lyceums. there are also children in turkey. we actually don’t have any shortcomings in video cameras, yes, and it won’t be very soon. i think we already know. what new details. now all services of the city are sitting between

incidents. and there, again, the authorities also react disgustingly. well, just such information will appear in the near future before some more or less obvious results in the investigation. naturally. mash thank you for direct communication with the studio was. ah, our colleague resident, istanbul maria gladkikh e. even now, regarding the fact that after some time some information may come in, while it is such that the head of the turkish ministry of internal affairs flew to istanbul to coordinate actions to investigate the causes of the explosion on glass street, i remember the ministry - these are the main ones , and in the capital. uh, the turkish republic ah, well, after a while, there will certainly be some statements while the investigation is ongoing. well, as we said before, that one of the main versions, which is now considering the investigating authorities - these are terrorist attacks. here are many. here are the shots to which we also commented at the very beginning, of course, indirectly confirms this. there are, of course, still different moments of explanation of what could have happened, because after all, central street, which is popular with tourists and, uh, there uh, it's just, well,

a lot of street trading, it's clear that there is a gas cylinder. could you explode? well, here it is again. if you look at the footage at that time, there was no such brisk, no trading, after all, uh the season is not the same it's not so warm there, judging by the way people are dressed hmm let's talk now. e with another expert who is in our studio, uh, who he is in touch with the studio sergey goncharov , colonel of the president of the association of veterans of the alpha anti-terror unit, sergey alekseevich is in touch with us . greetings, sergey alekseevich yes. tell me, please, well, it is clear that now it automatically happens for sure that one of the versions is the reverend incidents. she 's just being considered a terrorist direction that it was indeed a terrorist attack. at least i agree with you. i don’t think anyone will consider it, because about the number of dead and nowhere this explosion was made, how one can

call it really like this, as they say, uh, a state that you can say, so that they want to inflict as much as possible, uh, damage, well, take away more human life, so in this case, naturally, the turkish ministry of internal affairs will consider the version of the terrorist attack as the leading one, but it seems to me that at the moment and what we see and show. well, few people have doubts about watching some other version, yes, well, there really is a street there, like our colleague. maria gladkikh said. she's on spies. it’s just that it’s clear with tv cameras that this doesn’t save you from possible attacks by terrorists, but it’s really there for law enforcement agencies, it will probably be easier here to operate with these video data that they receive, well, restore well, i understand. and tell me, please, how would you comment on this ban, which was introduced by the authorities of the republic of turkey to ensure that the media, any television , radio internet, now some general news about

this was given. you know, if you go back to last year, when there was a series of terrorist attacks, remember also yes, uh, and many media outlets were giving, uh, review reviews. naturally, this, as i understand it, did not benefit, according to edar and probably he is the only goal, as we understand it, to get over, so now give this information and excite the population with what happened, of course he doesn't want that at all. and probably like uh a person wanting to get over to a sister. and as a president, he sees in this that this information should not reach the population. yes , let me remind you that next year there will be presidential elections, respectively, they are far enough away. you do not rule out that there is some kind of political package here. contradictory politician, if you notice he can in a week, or maybe even in a day, make two completely

opposite political statements and argue with the leader of many countries, then take back your words and translate everything in a different way, but today is the moment of last year's terrorist attacks. uh, he laid this grievance on... as they say, all this series of terrorist attacks on the isis of syria. well, now i doubt that this was true, because, uh, turkey helped in the fight against. assad, helped with weapons and finances, and now accuse them of being against erdogan now. i can not. although it may be that he began to help less, but the second. most. the main thing, on which i, as they say, would be the emphasis. of course kurts, because the kurds in that war were directly deceived. all of me. the americans and the turks promised and no one did anything about autonomy. and now turkey is simply opposing militarily, therefore. i think that at the moment this is the situation that allows me to assume that this is still a problem of confrontation between turkey and the kurds, uh

sergey alekseevich thank you for being in direct contact with us, it is clear that some official then statements on the basis of which it is possible to make already more e, plausible conclusions already with analyses. e with an analysis of the situation. uh, representatives of the special services, who directly. now i think they are working at the scene of the incident. sergey goncharov, the president of the association of veterans of the alpha anti-terror unit, was in direct contact with us. at the moment, here are the tapes of news agencies that refer to the statements of recepat ip erdogan , the president of the republic of turkey. e. hmm, you can make such quotes, again from what erdogan says the number of deaths in the explosion in the center istanbul rose to six wounded 53 people. uh, explosion, erdogan called it a bomb attack, but i think it's simple. my translation of e from turkish, well, there is more information that the head of the ministry of internal affairs flew to istanbul from behind ankara to coordinate

work to find out the causes of the explosion, and right now maxim durnev , head of the sputnik agency in turkey , is in direct contact with us maxim greetings a. what information do you have. i understand that it is difficult to get enough of it, because again, according to the information on the tapes news agencies. we see that e people have difficulty accessing. social network. yes, good afternoon. really. now it 's hard to get any information. uh, because uh, as always, such incidents happen. now there is a ban on the publication, or other information, especially in social media, that is, it is now blocked from publishing technical major e social media platforms in the country. and especially on this topic, uh, i am now uh, right at the corner of the tatarsaray university on istiklal street

exactly uh, here uh, not far. uh, happened today. uh, an explosion is being observed now, uh, enhanced security measures are being pulled into place, and the police in the sky over the central districts of istanbul are uh patrolling, uh, police helicopters. uh, in addition, uh to the place of contracted power. uh, as far as i can see the special, but the appointment of special forces. uh, turkish, well, we heard helicopters. yes, you can even see them in principle, as he said, erdogran now has six dead 53 wounded, so far there is information about dead or wounded russians. e no by e last message hong kong russian e, v. in istanbul, partially, the

street expired, is now unhooked. according to my calculations, about half of the street is now closed to pedestrian traffic. uh, also closed, coming to the incident. uh, stores outlets, when will directly happened. uh, those citizens who remained in the buildings were forbidden to leave them under any pretext, that is, the police. uh, promptly took control of this situation. uh, but uh, until uh some uh, some further details will come directly already or from the city authorities or directly from uh, president of turkey yes maxim and you are now respectively on that part of the street that was not blocked, yes, that is, it was blocked partially yes, as you also said , the population was evacuated, and here you can imagine that it's probably 1,000 people because,

well, it's quite a densely populated area. maxim please show me what is going on around you. please comment something. now you can see it right here. turkish special forces are here in place deju is a huge number of local journalists. again, to whom nothing can be said yet. yes, i won’t say that there are a large number of people here, because they try not to let people go to the scene of the incident right away, they immediately remove people from here to nearby ones. uh neighboring next street. right now, the istanbul prosecutor general's office has launched an investigation into the incident. i think there will be more specific information in the near future. yes. well, the main thing, well, the main version is that,

probably, everyone is now being told about it, this is that this is presumably a terrorist attack. for now, uh, it's hard to talk about it yet, but the official version. most likely it will be announced in the near future based on the results of the investigation. again, why, because the turkish authorities in such incidents try not to draw any hasty conclusions. uh, yes maxim thank you very much. e, maxim ah. maxim durnev was in direct contact with us, the head of the satellite agency in turkey, he really has the latest information. that's what i see on the tapes of news agencies - these are the words erdogan's statement by erdogan, who gave the latest data on the dead and on the wounded, six people died, 53 people were injured. uh, what erdogan called. uh, an explosion in the center of istanbul by a bomb attack. right now, ria novosti is also

writing at the moment. and my colleagues tell me that we can listen to another one. from istanbul, from a local woman who says that she did not directly witness the explosion, but there was. well, literally 5 minutes from the scene. here's what she told us about situation in the city. now let's listen. we went up the metro taxi and the people who go down began to talk about the fact that on the top you go up there was an explosion in the taxi area. so we didn’t believe at the beginning, then someone else went down and said, she, in principle, was not in a panic in the subway, as such. so, and then we went upstairs and people really began to talk, but it was already clear that there was a big panic around and something had happened. i purposely went out to the balcony. really wanted to. eh, about show that helicopters are flying, and now there are a lot of ambulances around, because i live

literally a five-minute walk from the scene. and also, at this moment, the news agency also continues to cite, uh, quotes, according to the statement of recep taip erdogan. uh, i will quote this, and according to the news, preliminary data after the explosion in the center of istanbul indicate a terrorist attack , said recep taip erdogan, we also recall that now the turkish media have a ban on broadcasting for a certain time. e, with places of events directly from the street and glassed, where the explosion thundered today, but also in general on the coverage of this topic here is a temporary ban. well, as they point out, it is also indicated in the text of the law in order not to contribute to the spread of some kind of panic. and here is another statement by erdogan came from news agencies. uh, responsible for the explosion. there is an istanbulite. quote

will be punished according to merit. now we will break. we'll be back in a minute. and a house to confidently buy an apartment for your domclick families closely monitor the first prostate problems if you get up more than twice at night aphalase an innovative drug for the early treatment of bph.
