sarah kelly. welcome to the program. a russian military transport plane has crashed in the belgrade region in the south of the country, close to the border with ukraine. a video posted on social media appears to show the moment of the incident. the russian official said that all the people on board reportedly including 65 ukrainian prisoners of war, had been killed. the russian foreign ministry has blamed keith for down on the plain dw is an economy and keys, and jennifer felt that enrica told me more about the reactions of the russian and the ukrainian governments to this crash. a well, sarah rushes, foreign ministry has caused the crash and act of terrorism, partially blaming and criticizing key for killing its own citizens. the ministry claims that ukrainian air forces armed forces have fired miss house at the place from the heart of the region. according to rush, has ministry of defense,

the russian military observe the launch of 2 ukrainian miss house on the radar. earlier today, the settlement that your post a senator and former chief of the russian air force stated in an interview that it is 100 percent clear that the play was shut down. he also said that the crew was able to report an external impact before crashing the russian ministry of defense had confirmed that all passages on the play were killed, and ortiz, editor in chief, has published a list with all 65 names of ukrainian prisoners of war on board the craft, nick, what are we hearing meantime from ukraine? a didn't get so really important distress that this is still a very unclear breaking illustration with lots of contradictory versions being voice degrading side for it's possibly when you heard from one of the intelligence agencies saying that indeed a nic exchange of prisoners was plans. today we haven't heard more of that space

that was being taken up by experts people claimed to have sources in the military, claiming that these were, instead flights that were transporting military equipment, missiles, maybe other people, claiming that the system kind of rushing attempts to fret, serve near kill you, campers will create a kind of issue for the government with their own public opinion. certainly in a free society like ukraine's i like russia, the relatives, people who are held captive a serious political force. they've been protesting for a long time. they're reaching out to the decision makers. so this certainly a warning situation for william zalesky and probably the reason why we haven't heard anything yet. but even if it isn't these principles that have a me a being killed as part of this downing of a plane. and it's still a very boring situation for the family's people affected. and we understand that god is trying to reach out those families to at least establish some lines of communication to w as an economy and keys. and jennifer felt good and read that. thank you so much to both of you and marina. myron is a military analyst with the worst studies department at kings college in london who

gave me her assessment of the crash announcement as well. it's a very complicated situation and it's too soon to tell what exactly happened. then i think an independent investigation will need to look at the crash site and we'll need to determine whether there are bodies or something else on the plane. because it, it seems like a plausible statement that there were prisoners of war and the ukrainian military intelligence had a use of confirmed that the indeed an exchange was split planned for today, the russians released passenger list. so all of those things need to be confirmed. but again, as i said by independent body, not by ukrainians or the russians, because even the ukrainian sources have changed the tune um over the past few hours for us, claiming that the printing and military was behind this and then retracting, is there a statement? there is a possibility that the ukrainian military also got a wrong intelligence. they were actually thinking that that the were

a missile. so it needs to be investigated for us or before. and you conclusions can be made. can you? um, drill down into another one of these claims because there are some russian law makers claiming that the attack was committed by ukraine using a us supplied patriot missile. i mean, there were very specific about that. how would one go about verifying that? is there a way of quickly doing it as well that there is a way of doing it, of course, and the is there a few possibilities? so some of the claims made by cars to pull for instance, is that it was either a us or a german made missile. you will look at the distance from where is a plane fell to the bridge and border? yes, um the, the story about using the patry of missile could be true. i am just looking out at the raindrops a missile and as a distance about 80 kilometers from the spring and board. your bearing in mind that

a patry that the system is a mobile system so it can move. so basically what needs to be done is look for before at any sort of parts of that a legit missile on the crash side in order to be able to verify also is a site where is this missile has been fired from an needs to be inspected, as well that would be on the ukrainian territory. so it requires a very complex investigation with both sides working together. um as ironic as it might seem in order to, to investigate what actually happened. and i, i see it as being very difficult because we have seen similar incidents where a ukrainian or 2 are re missile misfired. and the 1st reports were stating that it was the russians until 3 weeks later in the independent commission investigated the, the crash side and um, and the area surrounding at the to find bottom burned earth as a sign that are um and there are 2 system was there, so it is a very complicated matter because we don't have an independent part ease that could

be deployed and could be allowed to investigate those sites. and that was marina meyer and speaking with me earlier hungry is prime minister of victor, or bon, has expressed his government support for speed instead to join nato, or bon said that he had spoken with nato chief young stone burke and had urged the parliament in budapest to ratify suite in succession on for years now, the only nato member yet to be free, especially the new joining the alliance. after yesterday's vote and turkey, lawmakers there overwhelmingly approved sweden succession for them after solely for months. that change, of course, came after president richard ty fair to one publicly came out in favor of the bed following confessions from sweden over its perceived acceptance of curtis group. take him said uncle refuse. as terrorist i spoke with ease of use. lucio shelton and brussels asking her whether prime minister or bon statement re affirming his

support for sweden's needle membership. it comes as a surprise. it's aston array because only yesterday victorian has invited. his swedish count of 5 was christos saying that he would live too. and here quote, negotiate together with them a sweetness, nay, to accession. so and then today you hear that he fully supports this officer phone call. this installed and back. that has been a bit of mixed messaging going on with regards to sweden's need to membership by victor all done before. so he used to say that he wouldn't be the last one to agree to his readings natal membership, but then also changed his tone. and he has been critical against sweden because of critiques against the root of law in hungary. and as i said, so this comes a bit as a surprise right now because of the things or the, the invitation he just has mentioned yesterday, he just spoke out yesterday to the swedish crime and just to christmas,

where does all this leave sweetness, nato bed? i mean, is it now as good as approved or where does it stamps? so there's a start and back end all on said that this would, there's the native bid would be agreed on as quickly as possible. and this seems to be as soon as the parliamentary convenes and gary parliament goes to the has to decide on the ratification. and as things are spending right now, they're below new reconvene at the last in the last week of february. so there's still a little bit time for speeding to rate. i'm at the same time, it's not quite clear as and this moment whether hungary they're hungry and part of it might have an especial meeting to push the ratification over the line or not. so sweden, those still have to wait and see to be, to be to see that these will see a shelton and brussels. thank you. and now we had the united states,

where donald trump has cleared another hurdle in his bid to become the republican nominee in the us presidential race. with almost all the votes now counted in new hampshire. trump is ahead of his sole arrival. nikki haley by 11 percent in the vote. haley, however, has vowed to fight on saying the race is far from over. she might be down, but she isn't out of the day of voting. mist tons, presidential primary haley and say such a lovely new hampshire doesn't spell the end game. new hampshire is 1st in the nation. it is not the last in the, this raise is for, for move on to as a poll says, a sticking with a, it's not over until it's over 75, south carolina, as i said. so i mean, again,

it's in south carolina people that should be in this range, but the nice victory speech belonged to donald trump. well, i want to thank everybody. this is a fantastic state. this is a great, great say, you know, we won new hampshire 3 times now 3, the pizza pieces of liquid down. that the former president deserves another to i voted for donald trump, which made the day extra awesome for me. it's a special day and i'm proud to be fair and i'm glad that we're in the 1st primary and united states. i think that the people that are needs to be back in office haley bows to fights on. but so tough to victory looks increasing the narrow while of trump biting remarks this november
