going on at the site of the crash so the rescue operations are still ongoing linger there are still forces on the ground close up of your money and wait to facilitate your operations and as you said some of the riders but a lot number. now an investigation has a sensibly started into this plane crash any initial thoughts as to what could have happened. the crash happened just after takeoff some of you have been citing eyewitnesses who said the plane was burning which were actually crashing it is a few summers russian logo but there are no clear idea of what happened exactly and i think the station will take a bit of time right and what does it say about the response of the emergency crews there. where the plane crash happened to them and

warnings it took them some time but as you just said you're right. right the digital scale of course of course very sketchy sara mesh thank you very much for bringing us up to date with the latest in the plane crash near in algeria . now u.s. president donald trump is blasted off a serious warning to russia over syria the u.s. leader has threatened military action after an alleged chemical weapons attack on saturday and just an hour ago he tweeted russia to shoot down missiles fired at syria get ready russia because they are becoming you shouldn't be partners with a gas killing an animal who kills people and enjoys it that was the tweet from donald trump the rival proposals by both the u.s. and russia to launch an international investigation into the alleged attack of floundered as accusations fly over what actually happened in syria.

these images have shocked the world. be young survivors of an alleged chemical weapons attack in duma eastern ghouta on saturday. what happened here sent tension between russia and the west soaring to new heights. as so often during the syrian war the united nations security council is where division and then tag unism have played out on the one side the u.s. and its allies. on the other russia supporting syrian president bashar al assad h. side vetoed the others resolutions and each blame the other for the deadlock got says . the u.s. delegation is again trying to mislead the international community it's known taking a further step toward confrontation. russia is already on the ground and this amateur video purportedly shows russian police investigating near the site of the attack moscow says and the regime

a ready to allow probe which shouldn't assign blame the u.s. says that's a cover up. history will record that on this day russia chose protecting a monster over the lives of the syrian people while the u.s. and its allies say russia's position is a smokescreen they want an independent inquiry to begin soon while they still evidence of what happened on the way canned like this gas canister said to have been discovered two days ago. and while diplomats argue over how best to respond the alleged attack has already shifted syria's battle lines hiya displaced people from duma arrive in syria's rebel held north resistance collapsed in eastern guta after the attack the refugees are reminded of the brutal intensity of this war which the international community has so far remained powerless to stop. if we

now joined on moscow bureau chief. i you know what you refer to that tweet by the u.s. president john warning a missile is on its face what is being the russian government's reaction. however it oh well russian lawmakers have warned the united states that moscow would view and a strike on the syria as a war cry that could trigger a direct military clash between the two you form a cold war and it is. as their actions had over and already a few days ago that they would definitely respond to possibility. military confrontation with the s. value to get a seam off of the hat off russia's general stuff has emphasized that last go doesn't want that but he also stressed that shoot at attentional american strike affect the russian soldiers on russian military technology it wouldn't hesitate and fight back also russia's ambassador to lebanon alexander simpkin. has unveiled

a what appears to be a major policy shift mainly moscow would should down any u.s. missiles fired at syria not just the missiles fired at russian soldiers and it will all be obvious the target is a launch sites which means probably for example u.s. aircraft carriers also moscow sound as at that time promises to center syria would destroy evidence of suspected chemical weapons attack so a pretty strong reaction right now really feel fictious in our report and logically showing russian troops investigating the chemical attack from saturday what can we expect from that investigation. nothing new i suppose a coding good to russia's. ambassador all of us really need benzema russian investigators who was sent already to dubai over the weekend and phones no evidence that chlorine or any other chemical weapon had been houston an attack in syria at

previously u.n. security council samp to agree on a plan to probe suspected chemical weapons attack in syria so from their actions russian point of view. it's now as announced suspected chemical factories in syria no single evidence will remains that could prove that that kind of. a was used before in syria right here a chateau in moscow thank you very much. now the head of face but one of the once well spotted companies has been answering questions before a hearing of u.s. senate says mark talk a book was called to the senate after revelations that millions of people had their private data misused by the political consulting firm cambridge analytical facebook is under fire for its lack of privacy protections it was the social network versus the u.s.

congress facebook's mark zuckerberg one of the world's youngest c.e.o.'s testifying before one of america's oldest senates almost half of the u.s. senate took part in a hearing that lasted more than five hours zuckerberg who was not sworn in under oath began his first ever congressional appearance with an apology we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake and it was my mistake and i'm sorry. i started facebook i run it and i'm responsible for what happens here but that wasn't enough for some senators who want to see facebook take stronger steps to protect user data and privacy possibly under new government regulations your user agreement shock's as of facebook you sure are you are you willing to give me more control over my data as someone who uses facebook i believe that you should have complete control over your data if we're not communicating this clearly then that's a big thing that we should work on because i think the principles that you're articulating are the ones that we believe in and try to codified in the product

that we build critics say zuckerberg and his team are not taking transparency privacy and security seriously enough whether it's a legit russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election united nations criticism of inciting violence against me and mars were hinge or muslim minority or the cambridge analytical scandal which revealed that eighty seven million facebook users had their data in appropriately obtained by a political consultancy tied to the trump presidential campaign and at several points in the hearing zuckerberg appeared unaware of some of the inner workings of the platform he built and launched in two thousand and four as a nineteen year old harvard student how long do you keep the users debt if they if they choose to delete their account alone to keep their data i don't know the answer to that off the top my head so if share price is any measure zuckerberg performed well before the u.s. senate facebook stock had its best day in two years zuckerberg is in for another

round of questioning this time by the house of representatives are here to ask questions in a room. the mock sock above system and he was of course a social media event in itself sparking endless means and jokes let into that uses pokes fun at the stereotype that older people don't understand technology here comedian and stephen colbert quips or must feel bad for zuckerberg there's no way he left that room full of people without having to set up their wife i was also much amusement to mom about the thick cushion is up about sat on during his testimony this trip to use a joke. in a booster seat looks like he's about to ask a waitress for chicken fingers an apple. honed in on his awkward body language like this still with a comment me when i realize my actions have a consequence now here in germany germany's domestic intelligence

chief hans mohsen said he couldn't trust facebook with his data active burn and security conference he talked about cyber attacks and said that there was a high likelihood that it was indeed behind long term hacks on the german government that was revealed in february the spy chief described the hack as an advanced persistent threat which translates as of a sophisticated and complex cyber attack. that we now bring in a political correspondent hans brought up on a mentor studious hans who makes hans-georg mohsen so sure that the cyber attack on the german government is going to russia. actually we don't know he didn't tell us he just said that he was pretty certain but he did not really reveal much of his evidence we have to assume that the evidence called cern's the kind of code that was used the kind of attack that was executed on the german government network and

that on a analysis of this code and of this attack led the german authorities the internal security service in germany to blame russia for this attack we can also assume that the germans are not acting on their own and this but that they have contacts and cooperation with other intelligence services of allied countries german allies and that these come these security services together would have done this analysis and would have come to this conclusion that that moscow has now stated once again and how do you think the link between the timing of comments and other political issues what is your assessment yes we have to assume that there is quite a concerted effort at the moment from the side of the west to put pressure on russia and to sanction sanction russia for its actions in the international arena we have seen this in connection with the chemical weapons attack on a former russian spy in great britain which led to

a concerted effort from western countries to expel russian diplomats from their countries we've seen that in the discussions now about the chemical attack in syria which also concerns russia obviously so there is a concerted effort from the west at the moment to put pressure on russia and i think in that context we also have to see the statement and if this five attack apparently didn't cause any damage was that supposed to mean beef if you will hons . yes well what happened there was that the germans knew for quite awhile deficit was happening and were following it and were trying to track where it came from and fact they weren't very happy about it becoming public knowledge that there was such an attack because they were still trying to follow it so i assume that while they were following up they're also making sure that this attack could not bear to really relevant information information that was in fact a dawn loaded by the attackers was not really damaging to the german state hung

strong as a parliamentary studious thank you let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wild a public memorial service is on green south africa for the late. monday and the apartheid activists some form of life of nelson mandela boss to me last week after a long illness she was eighty one. police in indonesia say eighty two people have died after drinking illicit country liquor containing methanol and ninety six percent alcohol seven suspects have been arrested with another two said to be on the run deaths from such consumption are reported frequently this latest one is among the highest in recent here as thousands of phones and businesses are without electricity in new zealand's biggest city after a storm cause extensive damage in oakland authorities say the vast majority of these outages have been caused by trees for laying on to power lines. you're

watching the news coming up ahead we'll have the latest on the shock and the champions league as roma started barcelona or what. and how proof press conference landed a dissident of the by john in jail with the former soviet republic set to reelect its strongman president we meet with activists in berlin. but for us helen are joins me in video is looking to begin this corporate history here and i think the courts are going to looking to drive off into the sunset without incurring. according to reports you have to step aside for how but this today. brand manager insiders say it's all possible larger management restructuring in the wake of scandal. it's the most important job in the german car industry as miller took over the helm of fox back in twenty fifteen his mission dragging the

company actually to the diesel got a crisis and by some measures at least he succeeded last year v.w. sold more cars than ever before is this kind first in blue coat considering the journey so far which has felt like a roller coaster at times it's not a given that we can say today parts of the company is in very good shape. is. for. miller has been praised for managing to communicate effectively with both trade unions and politicians and for restructuring the company but it's up to the man who could succeed him to announce the most sick their cost reductions here but . brown chief is not a favorite with the unions but he appears to be popular with the board of directors they'll meet on friday potentially to decide on a replacement for malarkey. let's go over to our financial correspondent daniel cooper standing by for us now at the frankfurt stock exchange daniel there seems to

be a feeling that the w. wants to show the world show consumers that ease set about a fresh start but all the investors buy. one hundred now all of this came absolutely as a surprise for investors they were almost shocked about this very crude i'll talk message sent out by the company yesterday and frankly speaking all of this also does not really show lots of appreciation to murdering this sort of rumors into public without cheering exact details and giving him having a chance to really say something is not common at all but his investors are taking all of this now very positive already yesterday the share price of volkswagen was among the top performers at the docks we are seeing also right now here a class of about one percent beside some pending losses the worst of the diesel gate scandal should be over it's time now for a new strategy immobility higher margin cost cutting all of this will be number one priority off a new c.e.o. and investors are optimistic that have a d.s.

will be able to do this let's remember though that material left a secure job at any in order to leave. out of the crisis has he managed to do so. well he was a crisis manager and investors have praised him because of that company very much in the crisis mode high fines lots of negative p.r. but at the same time recording and reporting record after record we have to remember folks like never sold as many cars as in two thousand and seventeen but now we are learning that behind closed doors involves book the c.e.o. has been lately very much under pressure some have said that during the past month he was rather wary of office also he was criticized heavily when asked about his salary and making a comparison with the former g.d.r. regime and it seems that the board members were really hoping for a complete new start and it seems that they want

a new face for this complete new start for a new volkswagen whatever at the end this is really going to mean and we'll find out more board meeting on friday in frankfurt for us thank you very much indeed. when it comes to the environment plastics are a real problem resenting health hazards to humans and animals alike a recent report from friends of the europe and the end is zero waste europe found that more than a third is rule food sold in the european union is wrapped in plastic now for many people there's the sense that while we shouldn't be knitting with plastic it's whole to live without it but that doesn't have to be the case. it's hard to lead the world off plastics especially in the food retail industry such packaging protects products during delivery it also helps prolong shelf life so that supposedly less food is thrown away and eaten at least that's the idea but environmental activists have just released a study stating the contrary what this study shows is that between two thousand and

four and two thousand and fourteen we've seen a forty to fifty percent increase in plastic packaging and recent a doubling in food waste and what that really costs into serious doubt i think is the argument of the food packaging industry use very often which is that we need plastic to avoid food wise in fact the report's authors argue plastic use could increase food waste as it encourages consumers to buy more than they need the european commission says around eighty eight million tons of food are wasted and will be in the new costing the block an estimated one hundred forty three billion euros. zero waste business models and retail like supermarkets where shoppers bring their own reusable food containers have been gaining momentum in recent years along with public awareness of plastics dangers but campaigners say the onus is on industry to develop more sustainable alternatives. as back of a doubt rita and i'm rita elections are underway in azerbaijan as we speak as we

speak but there is very good suspense it will cool when today's snap election in by john the country's strong a man the president. is expected to cruise to victory opposition parties are boycotting what they describe as a rigged only of his already voted in what's expected to be a landslide victory he's been in charge of the foremost subject of victims two thousand and three after taking over from his father jonas accuse the family of widespread corruption and squandering the country's oil about. eyes about john's opposition party say everything's been done to block a serious political challenge to the family didn't stay dissenting voices are absent from the media and critical journalists risk arrest and jail time. rebecca riches caught up with the dissident here in berlin and has this report. burn in

it's now home for this activist in exile the dissident journalist from as a vision has paid a high price for refusing to talk to the government line even milly's been forced to cut ties with his family and is no longer welcome in his home country largely due to the donor funded news channel he runs online. made on t.v. is giving fact checked information about azerbaijan about politics and people needed people need independent media. this spoof video of a donkey holding a press conference led to milly being thrown in prison in two thousand and eleven it was meant to poke fun at the sky high price the government paid for two german donkeys but the authorities were not amused and merely served sixteen months behind bars. that made on t.v. millie's news team along with a network of reporters on the ground work to fact check the government's message

and investigate dodgy practices. a few takes until they get their message right. media in azerbaijan is tightly state controlled but from here they can produce stories that don't pass through government census. nearly eighty percent of people in azerbaijan have access to the internet making social media a very important platform for activists videos like the ones being produced here in berlin will be broadcast to hundreds of thousands via facebook offering an alternative voice to that of the state sponsored maybe a. million his colleagues say they routinely targeted even here in berlin he says they've received death threats. we don't enjoy this suffering but if we don't take this risk we personally i would children in our society will never have a chance to become free. milli knows that he alone can change the future of azerbaijan but he's determined to give it his best shot. time for some
