The best hitters in russia say theyre looking for all possible clues as the hunt begins and to why a plane crashed soon after takeoff all seventy one people on board were killed the difficulties investigators face can be seen in these pictures from the cat crash site near moscow the wreckage of the plane is lying in fields covered with picks no debris and human remains are spread over a radius of one kilometer or a challenge has more from moscow. The answer no their line out with sixty five passengers and six crew on board came down four minutes after it took off in bad weather conditions wreckage was scattered across snowy fields near the village of water going over eighty kilometers southeast of moscow rescue teams were unable to reach the crash site by road and walk to the sea. I saw an explosion on the ground and i called Emergency Services they asked me many questions i told them there was a fire it was very visible. Debris of the plane is spread over radios of at least one kilometer investigators are using modern equipment taking into consideration the large territory there using quite a couple hours to get a view from the air the short hole set a lot of airlines jets took off from moscows dumb idea of a sunday afternoon on its way to the city of or sq in the urals most of the sixty five passengers on board were from the region at the airport their family and friends of those on board the flight began to wait for news with little hope that anyone had survived. We have found a breeze from n a n one four eight a plane and the bodies of stupid hymns. The most important thing now is the organized collection of debris in the remains of the big by ministry of emergency situations workers. Transport to authorities soon confirmed everyone in the plane had died. Russia has suffered two major crashes in recent years in december two thousand and sixteen at t. U. One five four military across crashed into the black sea with the loss of ninety two people it was blamed on pilots era in october two thousand and fifteen a russian air bus crashed in egypts Sinai Peninsula killing all two hundred twenty four people on board i still said it placed a bomb in the aircraft. Randomly putin has canceled a trip to sochi which was shut jeweled for monday he was due to meet the Palestinian LeaderMahmoud Abbas that now that meeting will now take place in moscow from where putin will monitor the investigation investigators have found a flight recorder from the plane and this will be crucial in determining why this relatively new aircraft came promising out of the sky various causes are being considered including pilots era bad weather conditions well perhaps Something Else really chalons zero mosque or cave makea is an aviation consultant with Mac International he says finding a second black box will be crucial to the investigation into the crash we know that the aircraft wreckage has scattered over a very wide area and this indicates probably impacted. Rather flat and broke up on a high rate of aids the pieces were spread out weve heard report that there was fire on board the aircraft before it crashed weve also heard that the pilot was trying to divert to a nearby airport for an Emergency Landing but none of these things are really concerned what were really doing now the investigators will do is theyll attempt to recover both the black box they have won and theyll leave the other one do a complete investigation. Well the first thing theyre going to want to do is see if the aircraft was partly d. I. s its been sitting over night it might have accumulated a great deal of ice if the ice wasnt properly removed that would have been a very bad thing. If the weather was bad presumably there on takeoff and climbing out if ice was a factor engine ice or Something Like that that should show up in the cockpit voice recorder conversations the digital flight data recorder so that will be important now there were not the thunderstorms obviously in the area so primarily were going to be concerned with ice they got airborne so the visibility shouldnt have been an issue so theyll be able to sort through the weather things rather quickly as they conduct the investigation and u. S. President on all trump has question israels commitment to peace with the palestinians he did this in an interview with an israeli newspaper owned by american billionaire and backer Sheldon Adelson the us president says israels settlements in the occupied west bank are complicating the Peace Process and also threaten again to withhold aid to the palestinians unless they agree to talks israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has promised to continue military operations inside syria after one of its f.

At the border israeli media reported anti missile batteries have been increased after extensive israeli counterstrikes the day before inside syrian territory. Yesterday we landed hard blows in the forces of iran and syria we made unequivocally clear to everyone that our modus operandi has not changed one jot. We will continue to hit back for every attempt to holler for any blown flick to us this is been our policy and this remain our policy to show the incident began with the downing of what israel says was an iranian drone launched from syria that had crossed into israeli airspace iran continues to deny the charge the secretary of the National Security council saying the allegations by zionists that they hit iranian bases in syria is a lie we are in syria as consultants we dont have the kind of military presence for them to make this allegation the years israels government has been talking about a mounting iranian threat on its Northern Borders i dont think we we thought we were not to vulnerable but we certainly didnt expect it to happen this quickly so thats why im saying its a wake up call for the future the army knows how to respond. In a way or want to create an escalation. The only way it will cripple solutions the other side wants in the schoolies and israeli politicians have been praising what theyve called a current public reaction to this incident but theyre also aware that it highlights increasingly complex and difficult relationship with russia and its role inside syria israel struck targets close to where Russian Forces are based on saturday. Prompting a statement from Russias Foreign Ministry calling it absolutely unacceptable to endanger the lives of russian soldiers inside syria. This after months of diplomatic efforts to convince russia to help constrain iranian activity there. But one former senior Israeli MilitaryIntelligence Officer the loss of the plane and the extent of the retaliation dont represent a new phase in the conflict rather a reminder of its stakes. In the longer run but look the long the arena presents in syria should come to an end and we expect russia and the United States to make sure that this is going to be that the end result. Israel says its military response is now complete but this weekend has put the dangers of the Largest Scale cross border conflict into sharp focus.

Even as athletes competed on the snow and ice diplomatic developments continue to steal at least some of the spotlight during whats being called the peace olympics the last three days have been historic and a high point in interest and relations north Korean Leader kim jong sister kim jong became the first member of the ruling family to cross into the south since the korean war she came with an invitation kim jong un is asking the south korean president in to visit pyongyang at a convenient time soon if this meeting transpires it would be the first time that kim jong il has met with the south korean president since taking office in twenty eleven president moon says hell begin arranging the conditions to make that visit happen but he stresses that any rebuilding of interest korean relations must involve dialogue between the United States and north korea u.

A North Koreans rebuffed president moons attempts to facilitate a midi skeptics say that this north korean Charm Offensive is heavy on the symbolism but they doubt that it will result in anything substantive they say this is an attempt by the North Koreans to drive a wedge between the United States and the South Koreans into an advance their own agenda but for now president moon and Many South Koreans are encouraged by the prospect that what weve been seeing could be the beginning of a reboot of injury and relations robert kelly is a professor of Political Science and diplomacy at this on National University is skeptical that the past few days diplomacy will lead to a breakthrough. The best thing that the olympics can do right now is sort of for 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 vetoed for example just a couple weeks ago they vetoed a highly qualified potential ambassador pick for south korea someone whos quite a hawk but apparently wasnt hawkish enough because the trump people are generally 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 the largest ups 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 it certainly better than we were a year ago when you know with fire and fury and all that still ahead on aljazeera a lawsuit filed by new yorks attorney general is the latest problem for hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and his former company also.
