filipinos are gearing up for an election a fly dubai passenger plane has crash landed killing outline people on board. the bowing 737800 took off late on friday night. it had a scheduled flight time of four and a half hours to southern russia. the plane did a go around and then entered a holding pattern but the second attempted landing went wrong. live to our correspondent who is in our bureau in moscow. what else do we know? >> reporter: it's still early to get the full picture of what happened, but what we do know is that the crash happened at 3.50 in the morning, moscow, 0350 g.m. t. the plane first attempted to land and then it had to pick up altitude again and then stayed

up there in the air for about two hours. it circled that airport ten times during those two hours before attempting a second landing. when it attempted that second landing, it and it failed and was trying to pick up altitude again because the position where it crashed between 50 to 100 metres to the left of the unway. it appears according to the initial statement by the investigators here in russia while it was trying to land the second time, the tail end of the plane clipped the ground and that's when it crashed and you see that big explosion that was caught on that cctv camera. investigators are on the site right now. they're cysting through the-- sifting through the debris. it spreads over 1 kilometer. we will get more throughout the day about that and once they

find the black box they will be able to figure out what really happened on that plane what do we know of the people who were on board? >> reporter: we know that there were seven crew and 55 passengers, including four children. it was initially thought that they were russian nationals. but there were some ukraine, some spanish. it appears that there were other nationalities other than russians on that plan. another thing i would like to mention is that while this was happening to the flight, another airline, a russian airline that had departed from moscow, was in that same situation. it attempted to land athree times and then once diverted to another airport about 4000 kilometers away. certainly one question here

arises why did the fly dubai plane stay there while all other planes were diverted. snoom fly dubai airlines has released a statement regarding the crash. here is a portion of that: an aviation industry specialist, chief correspondent for orien aviation. welcome to al jazeera br ballantine. what do you think happened here? >> it was a severe event. this landing in very poor conditions, and other airlines had diverted, it does seem unusual that this pilot did not divert. there could be an explanation for that.

if he was flying for two hours around the airport, he may well have been running short of fuel and was given little choice but to try and attempt a landing on the face of it, that would be the obvious question that he had to address. if he had enough fuel to do those go-arounds, eight to ten times, why not go some place else, but that might have been too far away >> that's absolutely right. there are several airports in the area, three, one including where the winter olympics. these are all within reach. as long as you've got enough fuel to do it. he, perhaps, should have diverted almost immediately as other airlines were doing and headed for one of those airports, but the investigation once they get the black boxes and hear the conversation that was going on in the cockpit, why they made the decision, that will clarify a lot of that

aspect of what occurred what's the safety record like of this particular aeroplane? >> it's very good. it's a relatively new airline. it has the financial back aring of the united arab emirates. these are all very new aircrafts that this airline is operating. the aircraft itself has an excellent safety record operating globally what will be, once the investigation finishes it's work, will be the trickle down message to pilots, because the weather can stay bad for a very long time there. >> yes. i think it's a question of situational awareness, that pilots have to be aware of situation where they are in terms of their flight, where fuel is, and the weather conditions. i mean, the weather conditions,

we understand that there were winds over 80 km/h, which is very severe for an aircraft. visibility was bad. the very fact that other airlines were diverting should have been a very straightforward message to the crew of this aircraft. i think what will have to happen after the accident and once the investigation is finished is take a look at the pilot responses to these sorts of situations thank you very much. the authorities in france will start of the process of extraditing the main suspect in the paris attacks have november last year which killed 1 is 30 people. salah abdeslam was wounded and arrested after four months on the run. the family that kept him were also detained.

>> reporter: salah abdeslam was among five people that were detained in molembeek. he had been on the run for four months. the immigration minister confirmed the arrest in a tweet saying simply "we got him". in a news conference soon after the capture, the french president francois hollande welcomed the break through. >> translation: salah abdeslam has been arrested and has been formally identified. my thoughts go to the victims of the november 13 attacks in paris and st denis because salah abdeslam is directly linked to the proposings, 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 molembeek, the

brussels suburb where a number of the suicide bombers of the paris attacks had lived. he may have evaded capture as early as tuesday because his fingerprints were found in another district of brussels. 130 people were killed in paris on 13 november when attackers with links to i.s.i.l. stormed cafés, a rock concert and a stadium. several of the attackers blew themselves up, including salah abdeslam's elder brother. salah abdeslam was driven back to brussels from paris hours later and became europe's most wanted man. his capture, wounded but alive, is a long awaited break through in the investigation into who was behind france's worst attack in decades. jacky rowland a judge in brazil has blocked the appointment of the
