K. Develops a program that reaches out to the more than two hundred thousand elderly who feel empty and isolated. We begin with that breaking news out of moscow about the passenger plane thats crashed with seventy one people on board Russian Media say that these are the first pictures of the wreckage from the crash site the plane disappeared from radar soon after takeoff from the capital moscow offices will be challenges with us now live from the russian capital rory what more do we know about whats happened to this act of. It was still fairly early after this tragedy and so the information is not particularly huge so far but what i can tell you is that this plane and know of one four eight had just taken off from moscows dont want to get a thought now dont get get over is one of the two main airports servicing the russian capital its a massively busy airport harb. This plane was operating on a regional flight heading towards a city called or sq which is on the southern tip of the urals mountain chain down near the kazakstan border. Its not a particularly big plane basically used for these kind of shorts whole flights had sixty five passengers on board and six crew now it crashed very soon after takeoff it was heading away from moscow as it was taking off so mercifully it seems to have come down in snowy fields close to houses but as far as we are aware of the moments we dont know of any casualties on the ground but it doesnt look like there have been any survivors from the actual plane itself being february as we can see behind you rory it is very snowy and wintry could weather an icing of played a factor in this accident. Very possibly very possibly. It hasnt been great weather today theres been quite a lot of snow and poor visibility. This is been telling Russian News Service is that they saw a flaming plane coming out of the sky and early reports suggested that perhaps the plane had collided with a helicopter operated by the Russian Postal Service shortly after takeoff now the press for russian for the Russian Postal Service has just put out a statement basically saying this had nothing to do with them they actually dont have any helicopters in their fleet so that seems to put that theory to bed for the moments but yeah its too soon to say whats made this plane crash the trajectory data that is available on open source sites on the internet showed that this plane did fall out of the sky pretty quickly fairly precipitously and its lost speed at a significant rate so investigators are already at the scene looking into what might of brought it out of the sky and would have to wait for further information on that whats the Safety Record of the aircraft itself and of the operator in this case. I can tell you that a the moments i mean i have to say you know russian airplanes and lines have in the past have a terrible record for safety certainly through the ninetys and into the early two thousand spots they have modernized in the last few years. You know you do still get planes disappearing out of the sky. In russia on a on a fairly frequent basis but its nothing like it used to be. The Safety Record of most Russian Airlines has improved dramatically over the last few years rory once again before we let you get back to the news gathering take us through the timeline of what has happened here to this aircraft. Moscows domodedovo airport its just to the south of the city about an hours drive outside and its basically the biggest airports moscow has there are a couple of other airports with domodedovo is basically the main the main harbor and this plane was taking off from germany out of a heading pretty much do you east and then it would have turned south and gone down towards a city called all squishes down in this in the south of russia or the tip or the southern tip of the urals Mountain Range is basically basically separates european russia from siberia and not very long after takeoff just a few minutes it seems to. Fall in out of the sky very quickly losing altitude and speed its a rapid rate and crashed into the snowy fields near villages on the outskirts of moscow already for the moment many things did i was there as worried challenge reporting live from moscow to the rest of the days news a heavy blow to syria and iran thats how israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is describing his countrys most significant air strikes on syria in decades the attacks are in response to Syrian Government forces shooting down at israeli fighter jets on saturday and claims that an iranian drone entered israeli air space to the air strikes reportedly headed airports on the outskirts of as a waiter in southern syria and a weapons depo near the capital damascus russias president Vladimir Putin is urging mr netanyahu to avoid any steps that could escalate tensions but Prime Minister netanyahu told a Cabinet Meeting that israel will continue to strike against any aggression. Yesterday we delivered some serious blows to the uranium in Syrian Forces we made it absolutely clear to everyone that our rules of engagement have not changed at all who continue to attack any attempts to hurt us it has been our policy and there will continue to be our policy on our from other series harry forces in west jerusalem. Well as weekly Cabinet Meeting the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was talking about severe blows being struck by israel against both iranian and Syrian Forces inside syrian territory in response to this downing of an israeli fighter plane the first such incident since one nine hundred eighty two meriting as far as israel israel is concerned a very serious response targeting twelve separate installations within syrian territory he said that it demonstrated that israel retain the right to act and strike back in any way it sees fit this is despite the message coming from the russians which is that israel needs to be careful not to escalate tensions further israel not really talking about russia in its language very much targeting its are at iran and syria but israel has been trying very hard to improve relations with the russian government especially trying to coordinate on exactly how it can and intends to act inside syria in response to what Benjamin Netanyahu is talking about as a growing threat from iran as the Syrian Security situation remains so unstable we are also getting reports through the israeli media via eyewitnesses that the border area in the Golan Heights is being reinforced by convoys of anti missile batteries there is no confirmation from that from the Israeli Military it tends not to confirm such matters the turkish army has suffered its largest number of fatalities since the affiant campaign against kurdish fighters in Northern Syria began last month eleven turkish soldiers were killed on saturday including two who were in an Army Helicopter that crashed turkeys president says the kurdish Led Syrian Democratic forces will quote pay a price more from jamal or shell gas the end on the turkey syria border. According to president rejected about iran he spoke to crowds in istanbul and thought and they said obviously in any war there are going to be losses and his promise to his people was that the losses inflicted on the enemy as he puts it would be greater than those suffered by the tactician army you really need to understand that the turkish people are society is a very nationalistic society when it comes to its army when it comes to its National Sovereignty that transcends political differences in terms of domestic policy and policies so the support given through this operation really is across the board in terms of all the different Political Parties and that support is still very much strong and it is Strong Enough support to absorb those losses so to speak and whilst like we you mentioned that eleven soldiers in one day is a significant hit isnt enough to dent the support given to them particularly considering who the enemy is as far as the turkish people are concerned the y. P. G. Is no different from the p k k that is the Kurdistan Workers Party that Kurdistan Workers Party has been bombing teicher cities and attacking tucker soldiers and policemen and even talkers that in some respects over the past several decades so for the turkish people any price is essentially theres no price really high enough to pay in order to ensure the defeat of a group they consider to be a terrorist organization irans president has called for unity across the political spectrum of mass rally celebrating the thirty ninth anniversary of the Islamic Revolution its still the overthrow of the shah of iran and the creation of the Islamic Republic a sign romneys comments follow last month antigovernment protests when sales of people arrested didnt tell him when we have differences over a couple of issues or when political factions have different views there is no reason to fight or chant slogans the ballot box is the answer bring the ballot box and do whatever people say. We should observe universal political rules we should stand together. A north korean delegation has left south korea after her historic three day visit which included high level talks and attending the Winter Olympics the group was led by the sister of north koreas leader kim jong un she proposed a summit between the rivals and extended a rare invitation to south koreas president in to visit again robert kelly is professor of Political Science diplomacy of Tucson National university he though doesnt believe that the diplomatic moves at the Winter Olympics will lead to any sort of breakthrough. The best thing that the olympics can do right now is sort of first stall the march to war that seemed to be taking place last year as long as the olympics make it look at the north and south are talking to one another then becomes much harder for donald trump and the Trump White House to go on t. V. And advocate for for strikes right we know that some people are some pretty seriously thinking about it they just be told for example just a couple weeks ago they vetoed a highly qualified potential ambassador picked for south korea someone is quite a hawk but apparently wasnt hawkish enough because the chum people are genuine considering the strikes well as long as the north and south are talking you know the americans need south korean buy in on the strikes as long as the north and south are talking they wont get it so thats sort of one of the things i think that moon is doing right this gives him time to figure out how to respond to the americans if we can do some small things like cultural events and sports and music and things like that and that kind of generates a few small steps that lead to that larger steps and so on thats great right i mean if this is what it takes to get the North Koreans in the room and talking so much the better and i dont particularly mind one way or the other but weve had these kinds of things before they havent really worked right and im not really sure that sort of cultural interaction can actually generate any meaningful concessions on either side the political gaps are pretty big but we should always keep trying right its certainly better than we were a year ago when you know with fire and fury and all that well get a weather update thanks to our houses here and then work because at one of britains Largest Charities are accused of inappropriate behavior while helping the vulnerable in haiti well tell you.
