children and 6 crew members. joining us from jakarta for more on this developing story is journalist. dan krisna hello to you what's the latest that you can tell us on what happened to this flight. good evening. late as that. i. to get local fisherman and a look at that he has to look at the debris in the what that is not a car by in the debate it's all that i was an island and. that this. seems like to be the part of the aircraft. that is some parts and some part of the prophecy it and also. we're still going to be even the board of the search and rescue will be found something like it seems like the

inventor and all emergency slide from the aircraft so that. the letters that it's only about. the minutes from part up are in a lot of jakarta all right so you mentioned that some debris has been found but is there any indication that there could be any survivors how are the search and rescue efforts being managed right now. at the moment. it's sin there that there is not a fire for has been found and then also in the letters that i heard from. this search and rescue agency that actually accept. location of the wreck it hasn't has not been found the under breeze in the surface but be known to look asian is between while and 1000 island in not

of doubt that's so. that our. rescue. has been dispatched to the location and found. approximate location but to be exact to morrow do we pinpoint where the wreckage location actually ended and when they found it made a we'll have. tried to do. the wreckage. journalist press now asked had my dad thank you so very much. twitter has permanently banned u.s. president donald trump's personal account citing the risk of further incitement of violence it made the move after trump's supporters storms in the capital on wednesday twitter said trump's recent tweets calling his supporters patriots amounted to glorification of violence in response trump accused twitter of trying

to silence him company's decision comes amid concerns about the president's supporters making plans for armed protests before the inauguration of president elect joe biden. well to talk about the implications of trump being cut off from his favorite social media megaphone i'm joined in the studio now by peter doll from our us elections team hello to you peter to people so just how much of a blow is it really for trump to be now permanently banned from twitter is this a problem i think it's a big blow i mean president is increasing finding himself isolated after wednesday's band and this certainly adds to that it comes after facebook org thursday also announced that it was. temporarily banning his account and threatening also to do that permanently you tube and streaming platform twitch threatening similar steps now why does matter it matters because throughout tribes

presidency he's really used social media in a way that essentially rendered traditional media obsolete he's is why he could get away with bashing the media because he could speak directly to his 90000000 followers who then go out and tweet it to their father was right and so by suspending trump twitter has essentially now taken away that super power that he had critic says that this should have happened months not years ago but it's not as black and white he is still the president of the united states and as such what he says is of public interest. even when that inflame tension away even threaten nuclear war with iran for instance which he did not too long ago so by suspending trump twitter is essentially saying you know not saying that he's a threat only to national security but they're also really downgrading him from president to private citizen before he's even left office all right but is this

really a problem for trump i mean couldn't he use some other platform to reach all of his supporters well he's even talked about creating his own social media platform and what he said was like he will not be silenced and that's a complaint that we've heard from conservatives especially for months if not years they say that twitter and facebook become essentially liberal companies pushing liberal policies on the gender they're trying to shut them up result is that we've seen many of them start to move to more alternative platforms like parlor gap both of which have reported a sharp rise in users since twitter and facebook announcement for outsiders spoken in both platforms really look more like alternate realities where this information flourishes and trump never really lost the election is also home to really radical personalities some of whom openly discuss storming the capitol wednesday as we heard there are also still discussing. enough coming insurrection ahead of your

ration and the irony is i think still twitter and facebook really the way that they're set up or engineer to for warding stream is and is content and now that they're trying to clean up their act they're really those who've been radicalized on twitter and facebook well now could be even deeper underground and our division as a society are likely to grow deeper because of that. thank you so very much for your insight with you thanks. all right let's get a check now some of the other stories making news this hour. snowstorms in spain have left at least 4 people dead and caused transport chaos across the country the capital saw its heaviest snowfall in nearly 5 decades on friday more than half of the country's region's remain on alert as storm filomena continues to wreak havoc. rescue workers in russia are racing to find survivors of an avalanche that buried

government to handle the crisis. the very slow start to the vaccination campaign is unlikely to hold win back people's confidence. the country is facing a double challenge it needs to convince its citizens to get vaccinated while not being left behind even further by its european neighbors. and here's a look at some other developments in the corona virus pandemic twitter has removed a post by iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali herman i do to it's misleading content the spiritual leader had described covert 1000 vaccines produced in the u.s. and u.k. as untrustworthy in the u.k. queen elizabeth and her husband prince philip have been vaccinated the royals are 94 and 99 years old putting them in the highest priority group for the job and more than half a 1000000 germans have received the coronavirus vaccine so far the government has
