Russias Investigative Committee has released the identity of the gunman who opened fire outside the headquarters of the federal Security Service building in central moscow on thursday evening the shooter was 39 year old you get a minute off who lived in the Moscow Region he killed an f. S. B. Officer before being shot dead himself another officer later died in hospital 5 other people including one civilian were injured investigation into possible motives is still ongoing we spoke to the suspects neighbors and father. But lately he became very secretive and also got some kind of strange eastern accent he used to tell me that he liked shooting and even wanted to get a sports rank become a more star or sports team where he worked he replied in the Emirates Embassy as a Security Guard though i do not know if it is true he was a very calm guy and then somehow the change started growing his beard maybe it happened of the his grandmother died or you hes a lawyer worked somewhere in moscow he comes from a good family mother grandmother she was a good man she was always very polite attentive i cant say anything bad about him i cant believe whats happened with those in your house and he was he wasnt aggressive very calm quite quiet he was lonely no friends no girlfriend we found out about his hoby by accident he invited my husband to join him at a shooting range when he refused the topic was never raised again although we know is what weve been finding out now from the media. There are reports the russian Investigative Committee has searched the home of the suspect and interviewed his family and friends is a reminder of how the attack unfolded. Will usually means it if the when we heard 3 sounds that we needed he realized that we should hide it then we heard someone in the street shouting go back go back. To those signals and youll listen when the man wasnt shooting randomly and i think we heard him shout out something but we didnt manage to make out what he was shouting. And what im looking for in the city in a basement were watching now when a guy came and could just going outside and he told us there was a shooting out im certain into the past and he told us the intraparty had been dragged into the cafe. The f. S. B. Building is just to the left of me and the whole thing happened at around half past 6 in the evening right on the opposite side of this main f. S. B. Building of this f. S. B. Had quarterlies according to an unconfirmed video which we can show you right now the alleged shooter took his position between behind one of the columns right again on the opposite side of this building he took aim armed with an Assault Rifle and he opened fire it seemed that he was specifically targeting f. S. B. Offices coming out of the building this is the heart of moscow its the very center of the russian capital its a trendy and hip area with plenty of bus cafes and restaurants so at 6 oclock it wasnt just the end of the work shift wasnt just the end of the work they wasnt just people leaving their offices offices out on the streets but also plenty of people just out and about plenty of tourists i mean if you just look over their christmas deck. Patients are already up here so people were doing their Christmas Shopping theres a St Regis Hotel right across the street from me so there were literally hundreds of people out and about all this and they were terrified by the shooting but initially many of them were confused because with christmas right around the corner many of them is still the 1st bursts of fire with well fireworks. I was sitting with my friends at a bar when the shooting began and it was the sound of a kalashnikov Assault Rifle i know what it sounds like my friends were like oh it must be firecrackers but i told them no way its not firecrackers and then we saw people running down the street it was scary at 5 or 10 minutes past 6 the gunfire began and it was not just a few shots it came in bursts we saw officers taking cover behind the cars. Left to work met up with my girlfriend and when we heard some dull sounds in the distance i thought at 1st it was fireworks or some firecrackers but as the sound continued we realized something was wrong Traffic Police who were in the business could bridge as usual began evacuating people they barely got on to what was going on people started running we heard the gunfire plenty of details are missing right now no more official information as as of yet we do know that the russian president is being kept in the loop of this attack right here in the heart of moscow and we spoke to fresh analyst multum accordion security expert bridge for their thoughts on that attack. Nobody in his right mind would take an a k 47. 00. 10 to get into the early bianca and start firing at the guards hes bound to be killed he knew that he could have gone into any restaurant and floated as many people as you like but that was not his objective he just wanted to kill those associated with the Security Services now the f. S. B. And if you killed one blue he would then say they have achieved my objective because i would be killed as well given that the target appears to have been dispiriting obviously so publicly linked with the Security Services in the state and given the timing on the almost at the anniversary of. The Security Forces day. Be quite strong indications as to the motivation assuming that the government is a rational actor had this attack i think taken place against a more soft target which is usually the case with more explicit or overt terrorist acts then you would have expected i think far more casualties to have resulted. In moscow have slammed the latest u. S. Sanctions targeting Companies Involved in russias north stream to gas pipeline to germany allin and brussels say that america should months business or minister Sergei Lavrov added that russia will respond to washingtons main. Unconvince the north stream too as well as turkey string will be completed so extremists that for launch in just 2 or 3 weeks will respond to sanctions but in a way in which we will not harm ourselves but we will definitely respond of course we will keep in mind when developing our relations im surprised the politicians reach such decisions which give no credit to high profile political figures the German Government has regretfully taken into account that sanctions against north stream to and turks stream initiated by the us congress they think the german and European Companies and our tantamount to interference in our domestic affairs. The pipeline is being built from russia to germany through the baltic sea will supply enough gas to power almost 30000000. 00 households. The sanctions target Companies Involved in building the last remaining leg of the pot and the main swiss contractor has now pulled out over washington stuff penalties stream spokesperson told r. T. Completing the project is essential for European Energy security and says that will be finished as soon as possible the u. S. Has long voiced its opposition to the project the United States commands all our European Partners whove taken a strong stand against north stream 2. And we commend the others to do the same germany is totally controlled by russia because they were getting from 60 to 70 percent of their energy from russia and a new player this pipeline if completed would make europe even more dependent on Russian Energy would generate billions of dollars for putin billions of dollars that would follow on Russian Military aggression we dont want your Energy Supplies to be defended. Anymore russia and ukraine seem to have found a solution to the dispute of Energy Supplies they had disagreed on a contract that allows moscow to sing gas to europe via ukraine but the 2 have come to a settlement a new agreement is designed to maintain gas transit between moscow and care for the next 5 years it also states that russia will pay you know most 3000000000. 00 to settle a long running dispute and in return legal action against moscow. Trysts a member of germanys the left party a surly believe that americas approach is souring relations with europe. When they say oh this will cover in ukraine out of the transit they will they will get less money but really think they care about ukraine they will carry by ukraine a lot and the only reason they would be concerned about rue you brain being cut out of any trance it seems is that if that would be make it more difficult to put pressure on russia by having a puppet ukrainian hand on the lawn to speak it with regard to europes a gash you know that is no longer the case and all were really talking about is ukraine being included in a more cooperative relationship between europe and russia thats the worst possible outcome from the point of view of people in washington damage to the german American Relations is down and. The idea that america is consciously imposing extra china extraterritorial sanctions to pad the German Company to hurt the german consumers is now firmly implanted into germanys minds from the left to the right that is absolutely outraged by the actions of the u. S. Government. U. K. Primary school was in the firing line this week after parents were angered by changes to the wording of traditional Christmas Carols want told problem school in the southeast of england were directed several carols were placing for example let alone with baby boy jesus critics say the change is a myth the whole point of the celebration some parents reacted negatively. If he was just a baby boy named jesus there wouldnt be a celebration in the 1st place hes our lord and savior and king of all kings thats the whole point its also a tradition is taking away the traditions of the country i believe my children have been discriminated against and they have been denied the freedom to fully express their Faith Christian belief and tradition of being 2nd feist and silenced in the name of inclusion and Political Correctness the words lord jesus are about the central message of christmas which is that god is with us in jesus to put it very simply but its what christmas is about schools as it promotes British Values including tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs has defended me by saying some students didnt attend last year because of their religious beliefs and it was to include all peoples during the festive period we discussed the issue with india Christian Concern and social commentator. The key message christianity and the whole reason why we celebrate Christian Christmas is because jesus was born as a human being and yet it was god as well and came down and its an incredible thing to think that god became a human being but thats what actually happened and thats what were celebrating here and they want to remove that reference as well as jesus being king and jesus being savior if we dont have those things what are we celebrating i think its a massive distortion lets be quite clear jesus wasnt god he was our degree from a theological perspective not agree he was a mighty messenger prophet there is very little theological evidence the public space and the educational space is one which is secular it does not mean it is bereft of theology or education of belief or conscience but is inclusive of it so if we want to have Standing Advisory Councils of religious education that include all strains of all walks of life of humanism as well and atheism of people who want to come in there with so of more free n. G. s they are included nowadays and the question is whether children should be free to opt out from an itty bitty whereas mary jesus a baby jesus and all the question is not decided on in a stable which isnt true i think that sets the parents of the think still composition i think they could come a watch if they wanted to theyre really so upset about people saying jesus or that they have to not even be in the same presence theres something to talk about there why are they so upset about people saying jesus is lord i cant even go and watch and observe it you know and so i think i want to discuss that with them but ultimately i want to respect their rights if they want to opt out of it they cannot sign of it another person should be made for that the head teacher has seen that she has had 60 people who last year opted out from religious services worshipful activities and under the education act collective worship is wholly or broadly of a christian tradition but it doesnt have to be a particular question is not what they did i was out thats not a commercial you want to opt out no none of that the question you know youll just go to the car see the presenters whether you should change the wording if its not what people should opt out everyone agrees that theyre not out. Why because i was my only reason i dont have one say place is not a question that my city where he or she and i use that word of traditional carols to remove to keep a leaf of christianity and 10 and to something thats nonchristian after all thats the question islam is best is the completion of gods revelation we are not here to supersede christians we have to live alongside people and one another and in a modern Secular Society in the educational space we need to have a plural system where everybody is welcome this is the same old tired arguments that some so how do you decide how they do because im sure you know my current so i knew you were going to happen because it was a christianity i know yes i should attend she is not welcome here saying belief and 2nd is the one so much i base is youll notice i said oh no we can either see all of what hes doing and i will say thats of christianity you are the one thats being intolerant here because youre saying they shouldnt saying the word uncivil thats the its all in attitude here ok more of the best stories from this week here on the weekly in just a few minutes. Twas the night before christmas and all over the world people. Seeking individual sovereignty. I just wrote. Back this week the russian president held his annual q. And a session with journalists from home and abroad event took place in moscows World Trade Center and run for more than 4 hours with him and putin fielded questions on both domestic and International Affairs with president ial terms in russia and the impeachment of donald trump among the key issues race. What could be done is to cancel the 2 in a row amendment we have 2 terms in a row yours truly serve 2 terms then resign and have the constitutional right to return to the presidency because it was not sent to attorneys and you know wrote them treat them well the amendment confuses some of our political scientists and public figures so we could be counted on much more shit. When its just a continuation of political infighting each one party that lost the election of the Democratic Party is working with the result through other methods accusing trump of collusion with russia within its discovered that there was you know inclusion that cant be the basis for impeachment and i see now theyve come up with pressure on ukraine i dont know whats there in your representatives have a bitterly. Set of us girls on you as for statements from certain people various political figures about russia about me as the head of the country i have been used to treating this accordingly but i know what the interests of my country are and that it doesnt matter at all what anyone else in there is absolutely you know where you are in comparing what they say with the fundamental tasks which russia is interested in solving what congratulations to Boris Johnson nevertheless he turned out to be the winner he understood the mood of the british People Better than his political opponents. Thats a big cast over the credibility of the International Chemical weapons watchdog w more leaked emails published by wiki leaks reveal concerns from get another member of the team that investigated and alleged attack on the ground in the syrian city of duma last year he says the final report into the incident suppressed and distorted their findings. The Fact Finding Mission report does not reflect the views of all the team members that deployed to doom or only one Fact Finding Mission team member a paramedic of the socalled Fact Finding Mission core team was in duma we are not insisting on being right in our assertions but we are demanding to be heard we have been stonewalled throughout by obfuscation exclusion and even thuggish bullying behavior the alleged chemical attack in april last year reportedly killed dozens of civilians in response United States and its nato allies france and the k a quick to conduct airstrikes against Syrian Military targets the biggest western military action of the 8 year war no p c w later deployed experts to do it in 1st a gate and nurses report pin the blame on the Syrian GovernmentSenior Correspondent greg as the has been looking at the revelations. I dont know about the 3 little piglet but the o. P. C. W. Is having its house blow right down from the inside the 1st whistle blower they dismissed the 2nd they sort of excuse themselves and now in what is an absolute bombshell their most qualified inspector the f f m report does not reflect the views of all the team members that deployed to duma i found that i was being excluded from the work for reasons not made clear allegedly the only team member who went to syria and it was allowed to cowrite this syria report was the team paramedic one of the chemical inspectors were allowed to pitch in i attempted to submit my report to the f. M. Team leaders starting from the 15th of february 29th teen after noting continued reluctance from the f f m team to receive my report i deposited the report in d r a for collection on the 27th of february 29th and advised all relevant persons of this shouldnt have bothered it seems no one wanted to read it 48 hours later the u. P. C. W. Published. Its 1st reported sutherland had to really taken a razor to it so much so that the actual team that went to syria didnt recognize it the consensus within the f. M. Team was that there were indications of serious inconsistency isnt findings the conclusions appear to have been turned completely in the opposite direction now that we can exist publish what the preliminary report look like heres what the u. P. C. W. Deleted one evidence that contradicted witness testimony meaning what the alleged witnesses said deferred wildly from the hard evidence found by inspectors to the fact that the hospital videos which so shocked the world will think the victims all actors the speed symptoms inconsistent with chlorine poisoning or poisoning with anything found at the scene 3 and this is the big one in the final report they found chlorine not how much just chlorine which you can fire did your kitchen in any home in any Swimming Pool maybe your right what about removing trace or some other wording may work im still worried that a stock standard phrase such as chlorine containing compounds were detected or similar present the danger of it being misrepresented as a damning conclusion its a political word smithing situation not purely technical and it was the anti acid war hawks trumpeted the fact what the o. P. C. W. Did is akin to saying you found radioactive materials in someones house without mentioning it was a tiny amount to use than fire alarms and this on top of previous whistleblower revelations hard math cast doubt that the canisters at the scene were ever dropped their observations of the scene of the 2 locations suggest that there is a higher probability that both cylinders were money placed at those 2 locations rather than being delivered from. Aircraft it all began with Ian Henderson when he 1st blew the whistle he was mocked smeared insulted u. P. C. W. Claimed he wasnt even part of the team they lied leaked documents clearly show he was working for the u. P. C. W. Shame on the o. P. C. W. You are aware of the highly questionable behavior surrounding this f. M. We as others in the team who would like to but are unable are questioning the work practices follow during this investigation this is more than a rebellion this is a catastrophe for the u. P. C. W a best this is a case of gross negligence worse than i pray im wrong this is corruption corruption in the very organization thats supposed to keep the world safe from chemical weapons either way from now on when the new p. C. W says something people are going to be thinking twice before taking their word for it on top of that a former newsweek reporter claimed that he quit the magazine when editors scrapped a story that question the chemical attack investigation magazine says the piece was dropped because it was a Conspiracy Theory and not objective reporting we spoke to the journalist he explained why reporters should not be exploited to justify war. I was a bit disturbed. You know i wasnt really given any valid reasons other than a link i had a few to decide to call and like i said theyre not a source to be trusted in my opinion. And then finally what kind of happened as i was i kept pushing to try and do the story because i feel like its of extreme you know Public Interest the attacks on me these organizations have taken a long time for us to get here in terms of a historical point of view when we shouldnt be weaponized in them to kind of create the Public Opinion needed to go to war at the moment there are very few westen well mainstream western journalists reporting on this so i would say this a complete failure of the media our job as journalists starts a whole governments to account and if governments are going to war on false premises then you know we have good evidence to suggest that now and no one is reporting it then were not doing our job as journalists we appreciate you joining us here not international this evening stick around if you can ill be back with updates on our top stories in 35 minutes time. One of the things that i started to realize is that the noise in my head as it me i started the practice of organizing my wife around what i wanted my life to be about even when it conflicted with my internal noise so you know i i wrote a book but in my head im not smart enough people like me to write books. But what i held myself to it was the action and i started to notice that i could coexist with that while still living a life that went beyond. This is is a stick from a water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the Cocacola Company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that lets tell consumers theyre the bad ones theyre the litter bugs are throwing us away industry should be blamed for all this waste to company has long promised to reuse the plastic. Soon as we speak so. That soon small sets will soften their plastic classics a coffee on my end our next day at a special projects funding me. On the im your best bet is the end of it for the team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. I had a spiritual experience. And i had the little girl that died in the fire sent there collins. Is a 5 year old son were looking for a kenny reaching. 54 years old and 21 years on go through all the model. For a crime i didnt commit. I always knew that it was a simple doesnt read good to see that nobody looked this up. In our systems the. Trial was pretty much a farce. They are having a guilty plea before that trial. By. God if the. People are laid off. From the cheney hasnt forgiven himself for something. I knew she was there and i knew exactly how this killing. People lie. And sometimes theres no explanation. In dublin the Campaign Group justice for the had for years been demanding a Public Inquiry into the dublin amman bombings. It still took 7 years for the Irish Government 6 years after the iras 994. 00 cease fire to agree to a strict form of inquiry under Justice Henry byron the inquiry found in his own careful words and despite london refusing to cooperate with the inquiry that the case for collusion was neither fanciful nor absurd. Crucially however for the families bereaved by other glennon murders north of the border foreign published a full appendix listing the ballistic links between other key attacks. After publication of the foreign reports it became obvious that there was still no response from the state. Very serious allegations of criminality where knock on be investigated that there was going to be no response and so we decided that we should respond we should bring people in an International Figures so we approached a number of people u. N. Investigators whod worked in el salvador people whod worked on the south African Truth Commission and others academics lawyers people think spearheads and we invited them to ireland and asked them to look at the evidence to meet with whistleblowers to meet with families to meet with p. S. And i was seated many others and a troll their own conclusions to draw up their own report the International Panel report which is what they did and for us it was a very valuable experience to have people from outside the jurisdiction come here and look at the evidence and come to their own conclusions
