a residential area during its approach to building a sample. it's parts of the plane skidded into a house, but nobody on the ground was killed or injured. investigate just now trying to piece together the evidence to work out what happened was already say they are looking at all possible causes, but stressed. there was no indication of sabotage so far. they know the company is natural that in the context of which is constant, high blood pressure sabotage will always be a possibility. so should i better see it? maybe it's like we'll sit through it all set up from what we currently know and have seen the all new science or facts that prove it was sabotage. yeah. from the list of waning and presidents use the cross side on monday afternoon together with a german in spanish ambassador. as the crew member who died was from spain, the cargo plane began his journey in leipzig. germany's foreign minister says he, i'm not ruling out anything including sabotage. i know the fact that together with

our list reunion and spanish partners, we must now seriously ask ourselves whether this was an accident ball or after last week, a noise. another hybrid incident shows what ball a tile times were currently living in even in the center of your need. investigators. now once we interviewed the surviving crew members and examined the flight recorders to try and find out what happened in the final moments before the crash authorities in lithuania, say it will take time before the investigation is complete. then says, putting us as an x bus in across the technology from vilnius tech university. i asked him whether he think sabotage could be the cause of the crush. uh, from technical specificity, if uh we don't see any, any sensors or, or, um, uh,

there is no information that there is a, uh, uh, the, and the sometimes or the intentional actions office accident happened. so at the moment, uh, in the media and what we, we know here that is no, that is no such information available. can you tell us what you know about the last few minutes of this detail, call those lights? or as from a positional perspective, the income of 2 was doing a normal approach to getting those airport. and just before, uh, less than 2 kilometers uh, from the test hold off. uh, and they, it, uh, crashed on into the ground. uh so as well during the, during the conversation these, the atc, there was some difficulties. we saw that there was no uh, contact established with the tower of the building on board. so therefore, we can think that there was some difficulties during the, during the operation,

or doing the, uh, flying the aircraft just before the crush me via across the was 31 years old. generally speaking, how safe is this, this type of setting, croft uh, that the age of the aircraft uh, does not really affect the animal from this affair, dropped off the technical status of here. the, the old, the air filter is more technical uh, or maintenance actions. we need to perform understandable, so uh, i believe from the technical perspective, this aircraft was there won't fit and well maintained. but of course the investigation must identify. maybe there is a also the technical aspect of this office accident. we saw the explosion of to the plane crashed. we use surprised that there was any survivors. little

yes it's it's, i would call it it's a medical. yeah. that we have for the, for the, for the people. that's our live fire after this offer of this accident, generally in industry and you know that there was no such a accident into our of asian history in our independence times. yeah. and even invasion, it's really every year to count for such and such an accident. so this, this, i would say it's really miracle to have a piece of ivers of to, of, to as crush. what to move across investigates as be looking for right now in terms of the evidence design looking for as, as, as normal during such an event, such as accidents. yeah. we gathering anything of the, uh, investigation to that to come were consist of, uh, local experts uh and, and from the atlanta from the manufacturer. and of course, you know,

we need to 1st of all, identify the reasons why it's happens and basically the main target. now is the flights of data and quarters and copy it was the quarters but must be a identified and then send into the, into the company's format of decoding and to identify that reasons of the office office accident and as well if we haven't really, we have a survivor, so we will interview them and, and towards the end fight also that some aspects. so that's unrelated to the operating goal for an update. so just before the crash and given that there is a discussion of possible foul play, i mean, what evidence would suggest that an acts of sabotage, a capable of bringing down an ad across like this, like what, what evidence would be looked for in that case? uh uh, well it's, it's, uh, it's a little my, uh,

expertise area of expertise. yeah. so i, i would come in tomorrow on, on the technical side on, on, on latham in staples, but, uh, but of course, uh if it would be any, any sort of, gosh, for all the intentional actions. of course we could see that and in the explosion just before the edge of the reaches the ground or, or any other intentional actions. but at the moment i do what we, what information is available from media from, from other sources. yeah, at the moment, personally myself, i cannot see any, any um a link to the, to the intentional action. so piece of his accident and says it's not pulling us from ation instance use of illness tech university. thank you so much for your time . we do appreciate it, us press cases have moved to dismiss both federal cases against president elect donald trump. one of the cases brought by special prosecute subject. smith charged

trump with closing to over time the 2020 election results before he left office. the other case alleged in the president mishandled classified documents taken, says florida, and the requests to draw up the cases of based on longstanding justice department policy of note prosecute saying, fitting presidents. let's get more now from our washington bureau chief in his port in a set. just tell us a little bit more about the cases against trump remind us what he was accused of. exactly. i guess what texas or special counsel has brought actually to felony cases against donald j trump. over the last 2 years, the most notable charges accused him of attempting to overturn the 2020 election by on the one hand, legally blocking votes. and on the other hand and sizing the storming of the capital on january 6th and 2021. i'm sure many of all of you as remember these

images of the 2nd case involves obligations, often legally retaining classified documents as his home in florida and my logo in his residence. uh and uh that also uh, images out. i'm sure many really kind of remember these are these images of boxes in his goals. and while i have prosecute has now dropped these cases. so it's not really a surprise that smith dropped the charges. the guns from everybody was expecting that to you in washington. because it is a line and goes to the justice department policy that says it is, i'm sick, i'm constitutional to prosecute a sitting president. however, you know what is kind of interesting is the timing before an early december filing deadline. and that suggests that the special council is kind of racing to,

to concludes his investigation before a drums, a team assumes power. i think it's worth mentioning that donald trump has stated himself. he would, i quote him via fire, a check smith on his 1st day in office. so smith knew that his time is running out . so can we assume and a so this is the, the end of trump legal problems. but do you know the, some of the supreme court, this is the highest court here in the united states rule that donald trump has some presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. and given the trump disappointing only lawyer list sushi positions in his new administration, it is very likely that he would have received a pod and once he returns to office. so for now, yes, it seems to mark the end of the drums, legal troubles, and just strategy to delay the cases to prevent the trial before the november

election obviously has worked out. but i also want to mention something here that after 2 days decision to drop the charges, many people in the united states all really even more concerned. but this is just the beginning of an error in which prosecutors will be rob to investigate that. then the cheapest in this thanks so much for bringing us up today though. so we don't use washington bureau chief and his port. all right, let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. and israel says it is moving forward with a ceasefire agreement with has blocks, the country is u. m. adopted us at the deal was not yet finalized. the is ready to cabinet is set to discuss the deal on tuesday of this comes of is ready. will planes continue to strike for 11 east capital? and lebanon's health ministry says 12 people have been killed by is really strikes in the south of the country. this thing has a chair from one of those 2 sites that were hit, where 11 equal thirty's say

a motorcycle was targeted. that strike left 6 people that germany's largest steel makeup system quote because announced that it will cost up to a 1000 killed by 21st same as it struggles with slumping demand and high energy costs. one still works in west, in germany will be closed and now that is expected to be sol, pulling orders from the auto industry. cheaper impulse from china and energy transition costs have led to huge losses. in pakistan, one police officer has been killed in collections with supporters of the countries jailed form the prime minister and run hon. thousands of demonstrations have been trying to reach the capital is along the bad after a court ruled the protests by his political policy unlawful. they have decided locked down and widespread arrests to cool for his release. shipping containers and trucks block highway is leading to pocket stones capital is long

about. the city has been sealed off and so far as he's trying to prevent him from home support is from reaching it. the former prime minister has called on his support, has to match on parliament and demand his release from jail. tons being behind bob's to move in a year on more than $150.00 criminal charges. his political policies, the p t. i maintains the charges politically, mostly bank said police say the pro fees are legal and have clashed with support is trying to get to as lama. but what i'm going to look and i'm going to get we're peaceful and getting the problem. but if they fire to guess on us, i already just like we're also prepared for these kinds of attacks because nobody showed our use our contracts and they will release and we're on con, confirm jail. and on concord, how do you children getting shun?

and with i bought j. r demands are for immune on con, our members of what are in jail to be a really is going generalization. but when we reach here, they fired during gas and rubber bullets at us. utah, uh, we have no fear. it might be a yes, we're going to move ahead and use the home. i don't guarantee. security is tight and as long of odd with as an increase police and military presence. authorities have also restricted access to mobile and internet services and suspended some public transport. and we can speak now as old people carr, he's a senior lead to of in ron cons policy. i'm an advisor to him or i'm fond on international relations and media. welcome to the w way hood and we're on han describing this protest. much as a final cool. how far will these protest is go to secure his release as

well. we've reached this level box in, in nearly a 100000 people with more on the way. and we believe that tomorrow even more, the more people and the testers will join this peaceful protest in the solid bar. um, so the numbers are high and just wanna make it category, get clear this protest like all our other products i've all been peaceful. don't forget the mon cons wife is leading this protest, along with the chief minister of k. b assist is on ground with the protestors. other women are taking part in this protest. so obviously we're not there to fight . we just want our constitutional right and that is all the demanding of the right to peaceful assembly. we can see the pictures, i mean is all about is said to resemble assist, see on the see used uh, thousands of supporters on support as of being arrested by police in the past days . i hear you saying that this is a peaceful process, but are you worried about what possibly might might come next as well,

i think the possible has already started or it's, it's common gone right now, just before joining you, we've just got a confirmed reports about 3 people getting shot by the government and the police. the been shot in the leg. the interior minister just came on tv 15 minutes ago and said that we are not worried about firing bullets on our, on, on, if anyone comes towards is not gonna bother to the harp of detroit, which we call the location that we want to go to. and he's open to declare that he will fire real bullets. and like i said, 3, i've already been shot. so it's already started. they will start creating a narrative whereby they will say that our protest, as on peaceful enhanced, we open fire on them. this is something that you'll see probably come up in the next 24 hours if not less, apart from the 3 the short already we're scared what will happen tonight? because obviously they have all the ammunition and we just have flags and water and

food. what do you think the future holds in ronco on? if he remains in prison? is that the number? it just all depends on how many more numbers joined on. you know this, we have 3 demands for this protest. one was to revolt. the 26th amendment was basically root, which basically means that you just treat under the executive, so it had no more independence. and number 2 was to release all the political prisoners, including him on con and all the others that are in these illegal fabricated cases . and 3rd was a return on dollar store and mandate from the election, which is clear as day that we had one and we've got no actual paper, evidence of it. so you know, these are on demands, the demands that every citizen should have. we just want democracy to return to bucks on. we just want the root of law to be back into the country. they're trying

to lock down the, the lock down the entire country. they're trying to curb the passion of the people and the demands of the people by putting the country in the config, locked down, houses. any country is supposed to function like this, from hospitals to schools, to businesses. this is not the way they could just easily that has come into our peaceful protests like we've done many times before. to call these unnecessary strains and brutality. enter in the on us is on call for him on fun is obviously very popular. political tensions of being on the rise. you've mentioned that yourself. do you see pockets done as a tipping point right now? absolutely. i mean, i the way that it's going, you know, you con yukon, keep everything locked down for too long that people have bucks on their to moms or in front of them. it's obvious in mont hahn is the most popular leader in the country. it's obvious that his party had won the elections. it's obvious that every single thing that is being done in the country right now is to keep and knock on

behind bars. and somehow as a political party out of the government, which is just not sustainable in any way because you're, you're in an undeclared marsh and all practically so unless we declare ourselves open to that word, we want to run the country under marshal. there's no other real way of, of governing us. i believe that you've been appealing to the international community. so this support, who do you think could put pressure on the pakistani government and the military, who would be your best hope? well look, we would like it as a overall we would want the international community to raise their voices. it's not like we want an intervention or we want them to do something about it. but we want them to put pressure in the sense that what are you doing with 260000000 people and in law hahn is obviously going to send has, according to the un arbitrary detention working group. according to amnesty international, he's got a bill just about a week ago. he was on bail and ended through on another 20 to the cases and put him

in 4 or 5 d romando. he's already been in prison for 18. uh, 18 months. what do you need a normal mon, full when the court has given them bill and said release them immediately. so, you know, we would one, obviously, the us, britain, your country or countries i believe in democracy. and at the same time, our brother, the countries in the gcc to raise their voice and feel the pain of 250 many people who have been absolutely suppressed. feel safe, the car adviser to and run con. thank you so much for your time. thank so let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines today. and romania is presidential election of fall raleigh pro russia candidate to surprisingly come out on top. final results show calling to jessica ahead of the center. right. nita elena, let's go need who received more votes than the country's pro, your prime minister. she will now face to jessica in a rental set for december the 8th. additional thursday. you say 17 people are

now the 1st issue of these new formats invalid and the defense ministers agreed to intensify collaboration to align procurement procedures and to boost joints development of capabilities. but perhaps most importantly, the defense ministers took the time for a frank exchange about their respective assessments of priorities. all of those must, of course, be seen as preparation for january, when donald trump will take over in the white house. this is going to offer, in an era of more uncertainty, more unpredictability, when it comes to us interest in european affairs to new zealand. now, when more than the see pilot whales with strand at themselves on a beach have been safely returned to the ocean. nearby residents joined conservation workers to keep the wild west and eventually get them on to seats that
