A lot in light of these terror attacks theres always a discussion that follows up which is could anything have been done to prevent this could things have been done differently even one death is too many and certainly thats thats thats one side of the argument but in terms of lone wolf attacks and this is a increasingly looking like a lone wolf attack initially reports of 3 attackers thats now been confirmed down to one. Just how possible is it for the Security Services to do anything i mean the men who gave their lives today preventing further civilian casualties acted quickly enough certainly could more have been done though do you think or is this this sort of these sorts of incidents the risk of such incidents has just become a part of todays reality. Well we have to ask also for political dissent when we ask for ways to make our public life saver again because the Security Forces cannot solve problems that have been created long before. By. Lets say if we look at the situation in western europe by open border policy where we are not sure who has come in who has penetrated our territory and where often bite smuggling weapons have also reached to our countries so this is a problem which you cannot solve by easy means yes bringing more policemen to the streets or. Doing more scrutinising work for people who want to buy in are because those who commit such attacks they usually get their weapons through dark channels on the black market or through smuggling from outside our territories and so this problem is hard to seoul with easy means that measures. Its a big question which needs to be debated in public and which needs to go really deep in analysts and allies in the roots of such deteriorating security situation. Run even should their thinking said that if the western countries are united. By the terrorist attacks against i just want to ask are they united in their efforts to tackle terrorism together because it seems like there are political divisions when it comes to fighting the terrorists are they are they united and and if they are why theyre not managed to defeat terrorism yet you know if youre completely right the division is politically. Made but in the problem of what the terrorist attacks that cities joe. As much as london paris brussels berlin and moscow face together we are united and in the consequence we should also unite politically and yupp bridge this divide which is politically made between lets say east and west russia and the European Union because we both face the same problems and Intelligence Service the russian state has already helped also to prevent Security Breaches terror attacks in the west and y. C. Were so also western Intelligence Services also the russian government so i think in this respect we should work more closely together but if we look at the situation right now we are divided and this should not be accepted some of the security. Attacks or threats that europe has been facing in the past years have emanated from the middle east conflict in iraq and syria and they are the west and russia was opposing each other instead of working together and so we conflict there so i think we are we need more unity we need more elaboration on that field to take us this great challenge of terrorism in our cities right i just want to pick up on what you said there for example syria one of the most obvious places where Islamic State where were fighting against well all sorts of Different Countries when there america were were present russia was there though with Syrian National forces as well when youve got this common enemy why wasnt for example america and russia united they have a common enemy instead there was all kinds of did debate an argument over which Different Military factions were the enemy who were the terrorists why wasnt. I mean if we look at the analysis that Defense Intelligence agency of the United States has made it 2012 we see that the agency. Has seemed like a proxy or conflict going on in syria and iraq and this means that it was not a conflict going on just on the local or even regional level but it was supported by players from the outside and the 2 different sides which were facing each other in syria in this proxy war were on the one hand side. Russia china and iran backing the government of syria and on the other hand sight the western allies and their friends in the arabic countries and all the african countries standing behind the opposition the socalled opposition which were terrorists largely terrorist organizations and this problem is not striking back also partly in europe but coming back to the attacks in moscow we cannot of course draw this conclusion it was a terrorist attack stemming from this conflict but what we can draw as a conclusion is that we need really close cooperation to guarantee our security and as much as russia also United States should contribute with intelligence with information to prevent further attacks in our cities and of course we need to think about the routes for the costs such terrorist attacks always show that to a certain level the value system within a country is shaken and is being torn apart because there are factions inside the society which do not stand behind a government who want to destroy want to harm society and this is the basic problem and you cannot just face it by putting more police men on the street or. Deciding on new arms restrictions for civilians this will not help this were not so you saw the situation. You took serbia proxy wars is it is it realistic or is this a flight of fancy many of us will of heard you know the claims that certain countries are funding terrorism the supplying. Providing more monetary assistance to the likes of Islamic State and one must wonder how do they manage to compete with unseemly survive against the Strongest Military forces in in the world do you believe this that terrorist are being funded used as proxy agents from from certain nations. Well of course there are different. Proofs of that fact i mean we have fact that United States congress has funded. Military programs in cite syria to train. Rebill socalled rebels werent you is this an instrument to weaken the government of syria and we have also in the history of. Incidents where actually the year proved whats found after wards at least there are governments nettled internal affairs of states where governments should be toppled and of course there are also many ways to discuss such measures to channel funding were also weapons delivery through were 3rd countries or through charity organisations. There are different ways to disguise the support for terrorism and its a yeah really alarming. Signal that we find these methods over and over again so we know that this problem exists we understand more or less the way how this support is. Done executed but it seems that it will not stop so far so more has to be done that such bloody instruments as terrorism will never ever be used again in geopolitical conflicts to achieve goals of governments or of sold certain Interest Groups because. It is also very heart to educate the public about those hidden ways off doing World Politics geopolitics and they are. Its beyond the control of the citizens and not do a critic institutions and this is very. Very worrisome. Because my guess is. Hes a consultant to the geo political analyst good to speak to run a thank you so much as my bush. Is in the studio with me i believe we got some updates in terms of information number of people injured and perhaps more video footage coming in as well thats right we were obviously had the witness i would as videos coming in you know shaking for the footage or not mobile phones of people running away of gunfire in the background we do have a video coming in of course unconfirmed as of yet but we can show you now that allegedly shows the moment the attacker was neutralized by Security Forces this is it. This video appears to be filmed on a mobile handheld device it does show a figure in a building showing the man is holding something that is resembling an automatic Assault Rifle there are shots that can be heard tracer bullets as you can see a little bright sparks flying from the left hand side of the screen before he falls down there there was eyewitness accounts there was talking in the background of the video which we cant bring you right now for technical reasons but people are saying they saw security personnel snipers to the left of that video will probably show the full video but later on in an exchange of gunfire with this attacker he does appear to be wearing it is hard to make out of course in this grainy shaky footage she does appear to be wearing some sort of combat camouflage fatigues got something on his back his face is covered his head is covered and hes holding a rifle before he is shot dead and you can see bullets tracer rounds there look flying in from the left hand side of the screen there. Plus were going to show the full video a little bit later on of course. Security forces on the left appearing to be neutralizing the attack or that is the video coming in. As of yet officially if this is the case but certainly looks like its taken from the scene it certainly shows seem to show the moment of the attack or being shot dead there. Like you said it appears to be and judging by the slightly shaky nature of the move in which the 1st thing that strikes me is just remarkable how people regardless of how much danger they are in will often 1st instinct is reach for recording the most incredible although it does help to shed light to words just incredible that people will do that solution here absolutely amazing i mean this footage as we can see for the video could be more than 1015 meters away very much in the line of sight of that attack a very much within range of any any foreign let alone a kalashnikov Assault Rifle there yet there we go its a social media age where anybody can be a citizen journalist can bring in videos and that is what we have. Again if that turns out to be true if it is verified as for everyone that does turn out to be accurate the contribution the people who are standing by can be misleading and often the information you get from people who are in close proximity lets call them witnesses it can lead to a lot of confusion hence the leaves at the beginning of what 3 hours ago that we were talking about 3 potential assailants and multiple People Killed and in the panic of people hearing bullets and screaming and seeing people in security out there its very hard to establish the facts but were getting a slightly clearer picture now arent we in terms of how many people are reported to have been injured we are yes minister of health confirming 5 injuries at the scene 5 people being treated. Witness accounts saying that the workers who came to the seat also put themselves in the. Trying to get those who were shot by the attacker to hospital to treatment as soon as possible now out of those 5 we cant say for certain how many of those are civilians how many are Security Forces we can say for certain one f. S. B. Officer was shot dead preventing that attacker from entering inside the f. S. B. Building another one was injured he was in a Critical Condition as of about 90 minutes ago medics fighting to save his life and of course that Traffic Police officer one of the victims as well. The other victims we cant say what condition they are in we know one of them was taken to a local hospital subsequent move to a hospital a bit further on for specialist treatment and now we have this video of the attack as well perhaps we can just show that to our viewers one of the time and just a warning it is somewhat dramatic video there showing a Police Operation there that attacker being taken down initially hiding behind some columns in the building firing to the left of the screen where those Security Officers were standing trying to get some cover behind that pillar until those tracer rounds you can see when he gets down on his knees any moment now there are those bright sparks flying across they would be tracer rounds used that night obviously by special forces to get a clearer picture multiple shots fired in the background and he eventually falls down a commentary there russian that if you have a translation it say you may have just been lying down may have been trying to disguise himself or make himself smaller but he stops moving and that is the moment apparently that he is neutralized now in terms of timing on oneill were mentioning earlier this was the day of putins annual address to the nation an address where hes asked dozens of questions by journalists in an unscripted interview went on for several hours a large number of journalists laws them of press in attendance in central moscow up to 1900 believe this year record numbers and also putin of course in the kremlin to mark the day of security. Service personnel its going to take place tomorrow this incident came on the eve of that and its perhaps the irony here that putin was giving a speech on how to prevent extremism radicalization and terrorism to prevent these sorts of incidents taking place and this is a fragment from a speech just a couple of hours ago. We need to be more active in countering extremism its necessary to firmly uncompromisingly suppress the provocations who violence to drool people especially you into the social radical activity. Ok we got the latest video lets get a little bit of an update now from the ground because the running costs of a sign on the streets of central moscow and hes being overseeing the date that where the attack occurred which is in the background i believe as were looking at him now good evening to what is the same line now. Indeed that occurred just behind me this is russias federal Security FederalSecurity Service building the Main Building here in russia sac took place not very far from here as you can see the area there is still cordoned off and from the latest news at the moment is that police are saying that people who were blocked in their offices are now being let go so the situation is completely under control but so mind you when that sack did take place today entire area was cordoned off. There were no cars here that meant nearby metro stations were also closed but right now everything is back some or most people are walking about their business as you can see traffic is backed more mold behind me the metro stations are also open now something has to be said about the place where that sack to. Where that sack occurred thats of the right of me this is the biggest choice store in russia. We are in the new Year HolidaysChristmas Holidays are just around the corner so a lot of people are shopping and just a few meters away from me is a famous a nikolsk a street which was very popular during that people world cup in the summer all 28 the kremlin is about some 500 meters away russias state parliament is also very close to the president ial Administration Building is also right here all his buildings boutiques. Stores that are restaurants still a very you know a bustling area here in moscow once again we are right in the sense or a solo there could be a lot more casualties than did take place and that thankfully you know rush is a lawyer for spent acted very quickly to disperse the crowds to clear the streets and made sure make sure that stuff and not a lot of people got hurt so i know you mentioned already that some are a Russian Health ministry i have reported that theyre treating 5 people with various injuries and one of the federal Security Officers is now on an operating table there trying to save his life now you can see the situation once again it is a back to normal in terms of transportation in terms of people going about their their business and its. No wonder that zach did say take place brushes with moscows Traffic Police and National Guard were very quick to make sure that none of the people got hurt they went into restaurants told people to bend not get out to stay inside until the situation came back to normal right now it is back to normal people. With a lot of people actually gave all toss ask in a cell what had happened initially when thats actually a place a lot of people took to social media perhaps says that was also helpful people warning them not soon warning each other not to go outside to make sure that no one else got hurt now. When you look out behind me thats the only area that set cordoned off at the moment but Everything Else is a business as usual now were still waiting for the to find out what the motives of the killer. Were sure well get an official statement very soon but only to know right now that it was one assailant and that assailant say had been i. And one federal Security Officer was killed unfortunately but at the moment still waiting to hear the motives. When im with them in the city you know based on when a guy came man who had just been outside and he told us there was a shooting outside and also an injured possum he told us the injured posse had been dropped into a cafe well we dont know the details we were busy walk on obvious 20 what do you know her studio yeah it was scary to be fighting but of. Course everybody has a smartphone these days so this was an accounts off on one of the eyewitnesses im sure well get a lot more as time progresses. People did not expect this to happen that right here in the center of moscow so probably at the very beginning nobody knew what was going on and people were texting each other but sex and their loved ones and thankfully not so. We didnt we didnt hear about any civilian casualties at the moment but we did know that they say it was the israelites. Thank you to all course but are among kosar there hes just in front of the f. S. B. Headquarters in moscow now weve spoken to several guests including terrorism expert Peter Williams who thinks that reports of this could indeed be a terrorist attack that attack highly likely. It looks like the alleged perpetrator in that cage. 8 shows an opportunity when he was in the capital when he was in an iconic location i also understand today he was. A fairly lengthy and of the year Media Conference by the president s now those 2 facts the location being the headquarters of the security search it was in russia and the fact that theres a lot of Media Coverage globally of the president s Media Conference that this individual or these people how taken the opportunity and sold their full it strikes me as that they are russian interior are quite right to deal with this as a terror attack terrorist groups i want to global forcing which is the reasons why they can they carry out these attacks in iconic locations because they are sending a message to their supporters globally so the way to go here is to do enhanced in selig and that is what we call Counter Intelligence and that is the best way to downgrade any terrorist Group Social Media on those. All the types of florens is where the Security Services can focus their. Efforts in in trying to obviously pick up the chatter and prevent you know any sort of terrorist attack again i can only speak for the United Kingdom but i know weve been particularly successful in that regard assisted doing that bill walton makes it difficult it is the fact what we call the low level attacks where people use the eccles all now live theyre the ones which are almost very impromptu and they are very difficult in order to stop in trucks whats going on. For a few hours ago we were talking about potentially multiple attacks looks like were now talking about one assailant reportedly killed in the process of that attack and the video from people who are in the proximity at the time. Says the children is spine because you get that sense of people dont know whats happening the sheer terror and theyre being told to run by policemen around you indeed i mean the panic that those people must have felt contributed to those eyewitness accounts that there was more than one attacker they were dressed in military uniforms they all had automatic weapons that of course proven to be not the case but from those eyewitness accounts as we said everybodys a citizen journalist nowadays with their smartphone from those pictures initially from the sea certainly sounded like there was more than one attack a quite striking images there lets take a look back at what this is recorded. Now that was debunked fairly swiftly one attack reports they have been neutralized 5 casualties confirmed by ministry of health one of the Critical Condition one Security Officer unfortunately passed away from his injuries and we can show you some footage coming in again from eyewitness accounts apparently of the attack of being shot dead by Security Forces lets get that up on the screen there a very shaky grainy phone video there cant make out to what he details but we can see a figure there a man dressed in green their head is covered their faces covered they are carrying what appears to be an Assault Rifle and as the Security Forces firing from the left hand side of the screen there in a minute you can see the rounds flickering along the screen past the pillar until that a allegedly falls down on his knees and is then shot dead by the Security Forces again confirmed video but it certainly from a commentary from sounds from the location appears to show the movement the moment rather the attacker was taken down now we have got correspondents on the scene obviously it all man maria telling us what exactly is going on we have spoken to eyewitnesses as well who described to us what took place in the 1st minutes of that attack. Could you will she is at a minute or 2 by 6 i was leaving work you know i dont like staying at work late so i left 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 as the sound continued we realized something was wrong and Traffic Police who were on the connecticut bridge as usual began evacuating people because she apparently caught on to what was going on people started running we heard the gunfire so i decided it would be better to leave that area in case it was a terrorist attack so thats what it is like for the eyewitnesses in close proximity to that attack hawkins in the studio keeping you up to date on todays attack believed to be a terrorist attack has still to be officially confirmed the f. S. B. Building in central moscow updates on this breaking story coming your way in just a couple of minutes. Modern means being in some ways similar. To. The traditional jewish way of acting so in other words you from. The urban. Occupation the flexible physically fit studious articulate and so on jews were the 1st modern that was specialization. Well it finally happened donald trump has been impeached by the house of representatives in complete opposition to what the founders had in vision the articles voted on were along party lines it is highly unlikely the senate will vote to remove the president from office so what is the point of this entire exercise. During the Great Depression which are old enough to remember that it was most of the family were unemployed. There wasnt it was bed much worse objectively than day but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. There was a real sense of hopefulness there isnt today todays america where shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. Reduced democracy attack solo duo engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no on. One set of rules for the rich opposite. Thats what happens when you put her into the. Narrows of will switch who is. It a kid to increasing power virtue of just as youd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. One person is killed in a shooting near the federal Security Service building in santa last witnesses have described what they saw. You had 5 to 10 minutes past 6 the gunfire began and it was not just a few shots it became an bursts we saw offices taking cover behind the costs. Of the new to release footage reportedly shows the shooter at the moments of the attack police say that the assailant acted alone she says identity has still not being confirmed
