from dubai has crashed. all 61 people on board are feared dead. this footage reportedly shows the moment the plane was crashed. it was taken by a nearby building. we're not able to independently verify this footage. al jazeera's correspondent joins us on the line from moscow. what more details are emerging now about the crash? >> reporter: it appears that this crash happened at 3.50 in the morning russia time. the emergency minister says all 61 people on board are dead. it was first believed that they were all russian nationals. it now appears that they are actually ukrainian and indian and other nationalities on board. that will be confirmed later.

the plane first attempted a landing and could not, because of bad weather, poor visibility had to take altitude again and circling the airport for about two hours. it appears according to some i've yags sources-- aviation sourc sources, they were trying a second landing. it went 50 to 100 metres to the left of the runway and was trying to get altitude again and it appears that the tail of the plane clipped the ground and that's when the high-energy impact happened. it's not fully confirmed exactly. we know that the airport is still closed and it appears that

it will remain closed for the rest of the day, as we understand it. the families and friends and relatives of those on board are there now gathering trying to get as much information as they can. the emergency minister said that it was such a high-energy impact that the debris of that plane is scattered over a 1 kilometer radius thank you for that an aviation consultant and accident investigator said poor visibility could have led to the crash >> we know that visibility may be an issue. if it was the second approach, that would indicate that they had an unsuccessful first approach and were trying it again. the aircraft involved was following 357800 which is a common aeroplane and it's very capable of either making what we call automatic landings if the

airport is approved to do that; in other words, if the airport, which i doubt, had the proper equipment, it could have landed by itself in zero visibility. we will assume that it wasn't the case, it was being manually flown. until we get more details, we won't know very much. the investigation will take place soon, i'm sure, and it will involve a number of different parties. it's an excellent aeroplane. it's a will follow on to the earlier 737. it's almost the newest aeroplane, but not quite. it is ewed widely used throughout the woorld a suspect has been caught on being run. he was one of the drivers in the attacks in paris that killed 130 people. jacky rowland reports.

>> reporter: captured on the streets of brussels. salah abdeslam was among five people detained in a police raid in the neighborhood of molembeek. he was the most wanted fuj tich and been on-- fuj tiff and-- fugitive and had been on the run for four months. a tweet was set that "we got him". in a news conference, francois hollande welcomed the break through. >> translation: salah abdeslam has been arrested and has been formally identified. my thought goes to the victims of the november 13 attacks in paris and st denis because this is linked to the preparation, organization and unfortunately the perpetration of the attacks >> reporter: paris will be seeking the urgent extradition of salah abdeslam so that he can be questioned and ultimately face trial back in france.

police attention had repeatedly been drawn to the brussels suburb where a number of suicide bombers in the november attacks in paris had lived. he may have evaded capture as recently as tuesday. police found his fingerprints at the scene of a shoot out in another district of brussels. 130 people were killed in paris on 13 november when attackers were links to i.s.i.l. attacked cafés, a rock concert and a stadium. several of the attackers blew themselves up including salah abdeslam's older brother. he drove back to later and became europe's most wanted man. his capture, wounded but alive, is a long awaited investigation into who was responsible for the worst attack in decades turkey and the e.u. have reached a new deal to try to

stop the flow of refugees and migrants to europe. turkey get political and financial rewards in return. it is said that people get sent back to turkey who arrive on boats. >> reporter: it is a deal that will affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of stranded refugees and migrants. a game changer in a crisis that has shaken the very foundations of the european union. turkey is to play a crucial part in stemming the flow of refugees into europe. >> turkey will be getting all those who are crossing to islands illegally. european countries many receive the same number of legal migrants from turkey. this very fair and encouraging steps for refugees as well, those who are looking for their future. >> i think this argument is a

silver bullet, but it is a small complex. it is just one pillar of the strategy and can work only if the other are also implemented. >> reporter: in return they have asked for turkey to double the amount of aid to 6.7 billion dollars. turkey also wants a visa free travel for its citizens in the e.u. which could happen as early as june. the agreement will come into force at midnight on sunday. all migrants and refugees arriving in the e.u. after that will be processed and returned to turkey. opportunity the agreement as many as 72,000 refugees could be eligible for resettlement here in the e.u. there could be concerns that there could be a sudden surge of people reaching the e.u. before the sunday deadline. there is some discomfort by some

about returning people back to countries that have questionable stance on humanitarian rights. >> the human rights and the international human rights, from the moral and political perspective, you cannot exchange money with people, to control the refugees flow, without providing proper training and access for the labor market, it will be actually nothing. >> reporter: when it comes to reducing the number of people arriving in europe, the e.u. needs turkey on side. turkey knows it has a powerful role to play meanwhile turkey detained more than 1700 refugees on friday as they tried to reach the greek island of lesbos. 16 people smugglers were also caught on the aegean coast. most held were from syria and

afghanistan. a brazilian judge has blocked the appointment of former president lula da silva to the cabinet of dilma rousseff. protests took place across the country this week. >> reporter: this is the heart land of the governing workers party. if they weren't hurt here, they risk being drowned by the rallies. they criticized large sections of the media and the judiciary which they accused of conducting a coup against the president. >> translation: here we have people who don't complete agree with what he is doing, but we want to see a coup to the end of democracy. >> reporter: many were drawn by rumors that their former president will address the crowd. >> translation: this movement is more organized and we've got far more people than we

expected. that should be enough to legit miz dilma rousseff's government. >> translation: we are ready to die if that is necessary. it will not take away from us the best presidents that brazil ever had. >> reporter: this is the biggest pro-government gathering but there were similar ones throughout the country. >> reporter: this is a huge protest in which 3 million people demonstrated. a low turn out would have been a catastrophe for the government. this large showing has polarized the society. the opposition said it will respond repeating these protests seen last sunday. the biggest in biggest history where it was being dubbed the car wash scandal implicating business leaders and major politicians, including the former president lula da silva. lula da silva is the man that this crowd, the government

supporters, came to here. >> translation: i'm not going into the government to fight. i'm going to help my colleague dilma rousseff to do what she needs to do for this country. >> reporter: the supreme court blocking his entry, meaning the investigation into lula da silva will continue time for a short break here on al jazeera. when we come back we will find out why the main opposition is refusing to take part in skunked's elections. why 80% of south koreans in their 20s would leave the country if they could. welcome back.

asylum in europe syria as opposition has accused the government delegation in geneva of sloping down the process of indirect talks aimed at ending the war. the delegation has put forward a proposal it wants for a political transition, but as our diplomatic editor now reports, the main opposition block isn't convinced. >> reporter: at the end of the first week of these talks a meeting between u.n. special envoy and the head of the delegate delegation. staffan de mistura has said he wants to get down to the key issue of political transition, but when he spoke to reporters, the ambassador made a statement saying he focused on overall principles that should govern the process. >> thank you so much >> reporter: he did not take any

questions. the main opposition block, the high negotiations committee were holding an event to commemorate the fifth anniversary. they want a government without bashar al-assad but they feel the government delegation led by the ambassador is not empowered to discuss these issues. they believe he is here to delay and disrupt things >> he doesn't have a decision there. we need a higher rank, team to negotiate with us, a team that can make a decision right here in geneva because we can make a decision on behalf of all people. >> reporter: staffan de mistura said the fact that talks have no collapsed and there was no walk outs was progress in itself. the government's declaration of principles he said may lead somewhere >> principles are not just

principles. they're the basis for them getting in too deeply into what we consider a gron ground for what is the issues, which is the mandate for the political transition. no question on that. >> reporter: in those public comments, invoice stroi was, perhaps, not as tough as he has been in recent days on the government delegation, but i'm told behind closed doors in their meeting he had stern words for the ambassador telling him it was time to stop the delay and get down to the real issue . pam will become the first sitting president to visit cuba-- obama. what impact did cubans think his trip would have? >> reporter: they're old enough to have known both capitalism

and socialism, yet they concede they never thought they would live long enough to see an american president come to cuba. >> translation: i never imagined this would happen and i'm 85 years old. >> reporter: as havana paves the way for obama's arrival, many are voicing their expectations. >> translation: it means change, more opportunities for cuba. i might sell one of my paintings to obama. >> reporter: this man, a five time award win ining musician, was denied a visa to the u.s. to pick up a lalt engram ee. -- latin grammy. >> translation: it's never too late for good things, as they say. >> reporter: what most ordinary cubans and the government wants most is to see a significant

economic impact from the new bilateral relationship which is why obama a's plans to loosen trade is good. >> translation: we have two or three months for him to breaking down economic barriers with cuba. that would have aaron impact. >> reporter: some staunch communists fear too much of an combablgt. >> translation: all this is a reminder of the cold war yet there are those who believe cuba is still under threat, but this time from an american economic invasion which they suspect remains to change this country's political system and in that context, president obama's visit here is seen as the trojan horse. people are divide then those who

say obama is capity ewe lating the government and those who believe opening up to havana is a crucial change >> it means people-to-people contact, cubans having a more open society and an idea there is a flow of ideas and i think it's important and he hasn't capitulated. >> reporter: expecting obama's visit to change anything radically is unrealistic, but the fact that he is coming for many cubans is the biggest change of all the united nations has warned to the political unrest in burundi could spiral out of control. there have been violent protests since april since the president sought a third term. >> continued human rights violations and impunity for

perpetrators mean that many of burundi's people live in terror. the country remains on the brink of a sudden escalation of violence to even more massive proportions voters are expected to vote again on sunday for a controversial rerun of elections that were held in october and later anulled. they say they won the first p round and are refusing to take part in the next one. >> reporter: it is normal to see groups gather at dusk to discuss politics here. the opposition supporters are angry. they say they won october's election and they were cheated out of their victory. >> translation: the planned rerun is hopeless. this is crushing democracy around the world >> reporter: opposition leaders announced the victory following

the polls. celebrations were short-lived. the electoral commission chairman said the election was anulled because of irregularities. the leader says that was illegal. he is intended to keep his opponent. >> this has been organized and coordinated by the intelligence services of this country. because of those reasons, why should we risk to end the election. it is just a shamble so as to justify that shame has been thrown in. >> reporter: the area here forms tanzania. some islanders want more autonomy. they see the ruling ccn party as

a mainland institution. it has dominated the politics since 1960s. we were told that the election rerun will be free and fair. >> it is everything. how it comes to be fixed? i think everything could be clear and fair and the election will be very good condition with nobody claim, no problems with that today. >> reporter: this office of the ruling c.c.m. party still decorated with flags and posters following the election. people meeting here are older than their counterparts on the other side. if the main opposition party don't enter the rerun, the ruling party's victory is almost guaranteed. that would mean this man will remain in power. many supporters may not accept the result.

to do. >> translation: i can see why people want to leave. >> reporter: south korea has some of the longest work hours in the world. a recent poll of job seekers by a recruitment website suggested 80% of members in their 20s would leave the country if they could. for many young south koreans long hours of high pressure work in a job you don't particularly like is the reward for a child of long hours, ultra competitive study. it is hardly an appealing prospect. this is what one is named hell corey. some are advised to seek shelter in the stronghold for government employees. these days this man works for a union representing workers. she has experience. she still hasn't finished her degree. >> translation: getting a job is not easy.

even if you find a job, it's an irregular position or a one-year contract. it's not something you can just fix through your own efforts >> reporter: it is an issue that the government says it recognises as a serious one, saying job creation is its chief priority. >> translation: we do not regard this as a simple show of complaint or discontent. you have to see tasmania a real phenomenon and we believe it gives us a task to come up with solutions. -- it is. >> reporter: some people here in a block called passion island. >> translation: blaming a dirt spoon, blaming others, it gives you no option but to escape. if not, you have to find out what you can do well >> reporter: it's a message of positivity, but for many who feel pressure to make progress on a predetermined path and a pain of failing, one that might
