Because usually when you get to the end with her its 3 sounds we needed to realize that we should hide it then we heard someone in the street shouting go back go back. To us and thats when the mom wasnt shooting randomly and i think we heard him shout out something but we didnt manage to make out what he was shouting at. Them in the city in a basement were watching now when a guy came and were just going outside and he told us there was a shooting out that im so and pass and he told us the injured party had been dragged into the cafe. We spoke to the neighbors and father of the gunmen he was described as a quiet man though a bit reserved as of late. 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 all 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. 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 in the country does 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 top. It was never raised again although we now 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 our correspondent has more from the scene of the attack. 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 quarter 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. Is 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 baas cafes and restaurants so at 6 oclock it wasnt just the end of the work shift it 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 there Christmas Decorations 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 on the square and they were terrified by the shooting but initially many of them were confused because with christmas right around the corner many of them mistook the 1st burst of fire with well fireworks. I was sitting with my friends in a bow when the shooting began it was the sound of a kalashnikov Assault Rifle i know what it sounds like my friends were like you know 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 toward 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 and because thats good bridge as usual began evacuating people they apparently caught on to what was going on people started running we heard the gunfire plenty of details are missing right now nor 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 we spoke to russian analyst Martin Mccauley and security expert charles sure bridge for their thoughts on the attack. He had he was obviously extremely irritated nosed by something that happened probably to his family or. Friends or somebody else because nobody in his right mind. Tend to get into the lubyanka and start firing at the guards hes bound to be killed lou that could have gone into any restaurant and floated as many people as he liked but that was not his objective he just wanted to kill those associated with the secret service is now the official 3 and if you killed one clue 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 Services those were 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 the e. U. And moscow have slammed of the latest u. S. Sanctions targeting Companies Involved in russias nord stream to gas pipeline to germany berlin and brussels say that america should mind its own business foreign minister Sergey Lavrov added that russia will respond to washingtons move. Unconvince the north stream to as well as took stream 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 that 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 2 and turks stream initiated by the us congress they think german and European Companies and tantamount to interference in our domestic affairs. The 1200 meter long nord stream to is being built from russia to germany through the baltic sea it will allow russia to increase gas exports to germany and europe and supply enough gas to power almost of 30000000 households. Sanctions target Companies Involved in building the last remaining leg of the pipeline and the main swiss contractor has now pulled out over washington stuff penalties in order spokesperson told our t. V. Completing the project is essential for European Energy security and says that work will be finished as soon as possible the u. S. Has a long voiced its opposition to the project the United States commands all our European Partners who have taken a strong stand against north stream to. And we commend 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 pipeline this pipeline if complete it. Would make europe even more dependent on Russian Energy would generate billions of dollars for putin billions of dollars that would follow in the Russian Military aggression. We dont want europes Energy Supplies to be defended im glad im here putin meanwhile russia and ukraine seem to have found a solution to their dispute over Energy Supplies they had disagreed on a contract that allows moscow to send gas to europe through ukraine but the 2 have come to a settlement as of now the new agreement is designed to maintain gas transit between moscow and kiev for the next 5 years it also states that russia will pay a crane almost 3000000000. 00 to settle a long running dispute and in return give will drop legal actions against moscow the former us a diplomat jim john truss and member of germanys the left party b. John the toughest soli believe 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 re ukraine being cut out or any transit seize is that it that would be what 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 gas if 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 char extraterritorial sanctions to have the German Economy 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. A u. K. Primary school was the subject of tough criticism this week after parents were angered by changes to the wording of traditional Christmas Carols white all mary school in the south east of england has rejected several carols replacing for example the little lord with baby boy jesus you know critics say that the changes omit the whole point of the celebration and some parents have reacted negatively if he was just a baby boy named jesus there wouldnt be a celebration in the 1st place he said well know it 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 the 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 as in jesus to put it very simply but its what christmas is about the school says it promotes British Values including tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs it has defended the most by saying that some students did not attend last year service because of the very religious beliefs and it wants to include all pupils during the festive period we discuss the issue with tim pay from Christian Concern and also with social commentator monsour. The key mr 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 wanted 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 greed from a theological perspective not agree he was a mighty messenger a 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 and religious education that include all strains of all walks of life of humanism as well and atheism are 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 a nativity where is mary jesus a baby jesus in a 1000000 or the question that is not decided on in a stable which isnt true i think that sets the parents or the fix or 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 and 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 toss in the cost of the presenters whether you should tell us the wording if its not what a people should opt out everyone agrees that theyre not out. Well i will just as my only reason i dont have one place is not a question of my see whether she used the word traditional carols to remove the key beliefs of christianity and turn it into 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 know migrants i mean when you have a situation that was a christianity im not you say sure he is not welcome you saying belief and saying is this going so much as i praise is Ulysse Gosset although i would say all of what hes doing and i will say thats of christianity youre the one thats being intolerant here because youre saying they shouldnt saying the word says it all thats the its all an attitude here more of the best stories from this past week here on the week we have just a few minutes on the international. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Here in Dramatic Development only. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. You know world of big. Lot and conspiracies its time. To dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. Back to the weekly on our international this week the russian president held his annual q. And a session with journalists from the home and abroad event took place in moscows World Trade Center and ran for more than 4 hours but 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 raised. 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 resigned and had the constitutional right to return to the presidency because it was not in a row the amendment confuses some of our political scientists and public figures so we could be counseled on much. When its just a continuation of political infighting each one party that lost the election of the Democratic Party is working for results through other methods accusing trump of collusion with russia then its discovered that there was no inclusion that cant be the basis for impeachment now theyve come up with pressure on ukraine i dont know whats there in your representatives have a better idea. 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 says there is absolutely no value in comparing what they say with the fundamental tasks which russia is interested in solving 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. Fresh doubts have been cast over the credibility of the International Chemical weapons watchdog the o. P. C. W. More leaked emails published by wiki leaks reveal concerns from yet another member of the team that investigated an alleged attack on the ground in the syrian city of douma last year he says the final report into the incident suppressed and distorted their findings.
