7:02 am
a low building where they're saying there was no fire as a result of this or explosion and this point 9 people are confirmed to have died confirmed by the kazakhstan the minister of interior at this point to there is a search and rescue operation there evacuating people from the. crash site it was it was a domestic flight that had been my 5 passengers and 5 crew members on board it was it was flying from the 2 of us on the capital of seoul ton and their critics on the ministry of industry as a result of this crash suspended all flights of this type of plane which was a focus 100 and the flies are going to be suspended until they were thurmont what was the cause of this crash alexandra i say that that death toll has now been revised upwards from 7 initially to 9 how is that matthew operation dying and could we see that death toll continue to rise. well as i say and what we can see on the
7:03 am
footage from the from the crash site there was no explosion and there was no fire that broke up as a result of this crash or so believe very possible a lot of people are going to be as attributes it's not possible to say at this point how many people actually died as a result of this aggression it's still early early hours to say but what i can as mary is that this company back in error is that it was it's the 2nd biggest domestic plant operator in congress dan and basically with this decision of the rest of industry or its planes are suspended because they have already broken hundreds and this company. didn't have any major incidents past 2 years but it was from 2000 mine there were 201618 live band airplanes alexander godfrey of that speaking to us on the phone from moscow thank you very much alexandra will be bringing you more as we get it from her well let's now go to cull
7:04 am
bailey who's an aviation analyst and former federal aviation authority safety team representative and he joins us now on skype from new jersey college start with becca's safety record as that xander was just saying there i see it was banned by the from april 2009 to december 26th and since then it's also had a plane detained in assaults on airport due to concerns about its aircraft how good is it safety record should be concerned about the airline itself. well the fact is this is a very small airline it appears they only have about 8 fokker or one hundreds in the fleet so a very small airline generally what we find. often the case in you know in developing countries that the smaller airlines tend to cut corners tend to you know skimp on maintenance and you know very high. high cost you know heavy maintenance items and i'm not saying that that was the case with this are alive but you we have
7:05 am
to be very weary of very small airlines with us a small fleet of airplanes and the poker 100 is a brand new airplane that airplane is you know could be as old as 30 years old the or the airplane 1st of flight about 30 years ago that type so it's not you know the latest and greatest commercial airline well as alexander was saying that will focus on hundreds of now been grounded in kazakhstan but it is also used fairly extensively in iran and australia and as you say it's a really old plane safe brought to safety concerns about the model of the aircraft no there's not broader concerns i mean if the maintenance is done properly and all the you know the federal air worthiness directives are complete complied with the airplane can be operated very safely and you know that that is the case in all in a lot of the developed countries so that's not an issue just a matter of how this airline is funded and if they're doing the proper maintenance and following the proper state the proper safety protocol as recommended by the
7:06 am
manufacturer of the airplane it can let me ask you a little more about this particular incident because it it sounds like and broke through a concrete fence and then here's a 2 story building that suggests not a loss of altitude that what could possibly cause that is that more likely a technical issue or human era. in my opinion it's probably either pilot error or a technical difficulty if this was some active let's just say terrorism usually that would tend to be at a higher altitude of something was detonated but usually at a very very low altitude you know the odds probably would fall somewhere along the file error or some kind of technical difficulty or malfunction of a critical part on the airplane and the fact that it broke through a fence leads wouldn't believe it wasn't an extremely low altitude probably with them and if i had to guess i would probably say under 200 feet if that. and given
7:07 am
that it was at such a low altitude and we are seeing an ongoing rescue operation here and talk us through what that could mean i mean that they're trying to get people off the say a craft potentially a large number of survivors on board how would one be able to safely get everyone off that plane at the stage well depending on the angle of the of didn't pack and how severe the in fact was i mean if it was basically. you know if it if it didn't in fact game that much lift and just pretty much continued rolling and maybe gained a little bit a lift and then clipped a fence the fact that we see no fire is or explosion is a very good side that probably means the impact was tremendous and it probably also indicates that there were wasn't a full load of fuel on the airplane so that's the key right there very it's a great news of the words no fire or no explosion but what is separate keeper are our fingers crossed that hopefully there will be more survivors found and deeds
7:08 am
cavani there and aviation analyst following the story with us and we'll be bringing you more on that as we get it thank you for joining us. thank you. moving on now and libya's internationally recognized government has made a formal request for turkish military support to help battle forces loyal to war at khalifa haftar that's according to the voices news agency politicians in ankara could vote within the next fortnight on whether to approve the deployment i had reports from tripoli. this is southern outskirts of the libyan capital tripoli where there's been heavy fighting for the past 8 months. forces loyal to warlord liefer have to are now using the tillery of fire to advance with the help of russians who are reportedly leading forces as they take control of civil important locations including military camps near the salafi de neighborhood . 2 key says it's a planning to send troops to help you to government it wants to prevent have to
7:09 am
those forces from seizing the libyan capital turkish president. says parliament will voting generally on a mandate to send troops to libya in show low sixty's in the god willing on the 8th on the 9th of january we will pass this in our parliament we will be responding to the invitation i we have given i will give all forms of support to the tripoli government which is fighting against just general backed by arab countries and european. during a news conference in tunis libya's interior minister won't need that libya's neighboring countries will be affected if the police falls he says have to risk being backed by civil regional countries the talisay than the one. we know very well there are a mirage he forces an airbase in the east of the country there are also forces from sudan and chad they have all been brought by have target has given them bases and
7:10 am
airports in libya without any agreements well we hope that what the situation is worsening as half those warplanes target civilian locations in and around tripoli. who has voiced concerns over a possible turkish military deployment to libya while president as dylan said last week turkey will not stay silent over what he called russian backed mercenaries supporting have to have to his forces are supported by advance had weapons and from several countries including russia france the united arab emirates and egypt turkey appears to be one of very few friends of the tripoli based government who are prepared to offer more than mere words to support it. would have to go ahead and is here to pretty. well let him lawrence as a professor at george washington university is and it's going of international affairs and he says the present situation is
7:11 am
a win win for tacky. i've seen 10 different versions among the analysts of the deal that could be in the making what's being discussed the turkish foreign ministers minister was just in moscow having a pretty discussions there was a talk of a live for a trip to tripoli deal where the russians would be given more of a way forward. in exchange for stepping back in tripoli and increasingly the syrian and libyan theatres are overlapping in the turkish russia negotiation and putin's also been very astute here because with an increase of turkish presence that also was part of his desire to decrease nato influence in libya so it's turks instead of nato and then he's got that other arms deal with turkey which cheaply he's trying to cut in neighbors influence and be his relationship with turkey as well so all of those issues are interconnected no it's kind of a win win for turkey on the one hand i don't think anyone really wants to send in troops and he's been signaling in various ways including to the tunisian surface
7:12 am
a cease fire coming that he'd prefer not to bring in troops and on the other hand if he does send in troops though those can be used for the defense of tripoli from the 3000 sudanese mercenaries and 1000 russian mercenaries and and other increasing troop levels it also sends a psychological message both militarily and also regarding the internal an extra lion says in libya regarding the libyan conflict and it also helps get us to the berlin peace conference in january because if tripoli falls that completely changes the turner of that discussion then if tripoli is holding up and there is an actual cease fire and peace deal that can be negotiated now iraq's president says he'd rather resign the named downy as the new prime minister has already been rejected by protest has bought himself a has been trying to find a replacement for. step down last month he reports from baghdad. a
7:13 am
political maneuver with potentially far reaching consequences iraq's president has sent his resignation letter to parliament saying he would rather step down than approve a new prime minister and a 3 page statement by him solace said out of my keenest to avoid bloodshed and protect civil peace i will not name a satellite downy as a candidate for the next prime minister i danny is the governor of buster province he was nominated for the role by the largest bloc in parliament but now that coalition is made up of mainly rain in fact political groups which is why their candidate is being furiously rejected by their opponents i don't he was picked to replace other uphill mettie who resigned in november after months of anti-government protests but the governor has been accused of neglecting his own province busser is home to more than 70 percent of iraq's oil reserves but locals don't have the basic necessities like clean water and reliable electricity i don't
7:14 am
think they will accept his resignation i think they will try to convince them is that you must accept our candidate in a way or another but i don't think he will accept that he will try hard also to push over in just someone who is independent prosecutor and didn't inside the political process and look for the future of iraq. protesters have strongly rejected i can his nomination and that's the reason president saleh gave for not approving the choice it now means since matty's resignation no party has proposed a candidate who has been acceptable to all sides the protests which began here in early october have been about demanding political change in iraq a new electoral law was finally passed on tuesday which seemed to please their archy's and now it is the latest move by president saleh to reject i done his candidacy is likely to strengthen the demonstrators position. door such
