i'm david levitz. welcome to the program. russia is playing down reports, but it's forces cause the plane crashing cause x down on wednesday. 38 people were killed when the other buys on airlines. passenger jet went down, and 29 survived. officials in the us and as or by john as well as aviation experts, say the plan was likely targeted by a russian surface to air missile. the plane was traveling from either by john's capital baku to the russian city of gross me, when it veered far off course and crashed, and azerbaijan, a day of mourning, was held for the victims. the traffic stopped at noon on thursday in tribute to the victims of the ill fated the buys on a line flight. at buck you airport people held a moment's silence outside. the building dozens cute to lay flat was in memory of the dead on the plane was supposed to fly

north west from of the by jones kind of patrol about to, to the city of growth need in chechnya, in southern russia. instead, it viewed hundreds of miles of cools across the caspian sea before crossing on wednesday, near the city of october in catholic stone. initially, we'll start, he said, a book strike may have closed the crash, but an increasing number of international officials and aviation next books. now say they believe the plane was shot down by russian ga, across the defense messiahs that they say footage of the fuselage scene during the rescue efforts and images that have circulated on social media. so p assigned zip, shrapnel damage. it's also known to the area of southern russia, the plane diverted from is repeatedly used at defense systems against ukrainian

drugs strikes as their resources. familiar with the investigation, say the plains communications could have been power lies by electronic woofer systems on the approach into gross me the criminal and has distance itself from the reports spokesman dmitri past calls to people to the weight the outcome of the investigation. remarkably almost tough of those on board survived some even emerging from the wreckage, unaided. many others where severely injured so that way when the blame crashed, my wife was sitting next to me. most of the i haven't seen husbands, the crash and i don't know that she is the planes blackbox has been recovered intact and that's hope it will shed more than like what really happened

earlier i spoke to richard levy, an evaluation expert who is a commercial airline pilot for over 40 years, he told me about the latest evidence, any investigation. what you're looking at now is, 1st of all, there are no reports in the crew about a bird strike. first strikes don't happen at altitude. rarely only take off or maybe take january of 2009 with the 90 on the hudson. they declared emergency. this aircraft was en route and then crossover russian issue reporters just mention an area where it was filled with ukrainian drones. and so russian aircraft activity was oppressive just prior to the accident. i don't think it was intentional by the russians, but lots of evidence is pointing to russian anti aircraft fire that was missed directed at this aircraft. looked at a few slash, looking at the pictures of the holes. the passers reported an explosion outside of

the aircraft. shrapner went inside the are crap. what happens in a pressurized airplane in the aircraft? you with his cabin pressure station and the actual mass come down. there and the aircraft again inversely to ship what happened to the control the airplane, j, the anti aircraft fire allegedly enter clear fire. i want to clarify. it is set to the hot drugs on the airplane, which is what we used to fly the airplane. they had a virtual problems just called jamming or spoofing, which is normally directed drones to basically confuse an area where it really so the gps, that's the goal position systems on this aircraft got confused and they sent out for stair to a company and search one called flight data $24.00, they show the aircraft climbing, descending dinner areas of, uh no data coming out. that's due to the jamming of the aircraft and electrical problems, the black boxes, they're really orange,

but the black boxes have been found there and checked as you reported. and they have a flight data recorder to find out how the flight controls were working, stable voice recorder, they're going to get the cockpit or the psychic communications just before the crash. so it sounds like you, you see the evidence at this point is really consistent with this theory that it was a russian anti aircraft missiles. let's talk a little bit about the plot, the path of this airplane because we see that this sudden veering off course away from russia. is this latest theory consistent with that? that path? yes it is. it is consistent. the airplane, the aircraft was shy that gradually we have a we have almost a questionable proof of intelligence agencies around the world. and then the airplane started to turn to question is more they denied made in clearance, in russia. and it for obvious reasons, they probably were some people say there was while get garage there. there was

during the day, i don't know during this time, but there's going to be question the russians why the or play was not allowed to, to buy land there in russia during this emergency in any emergency situation. all airline pods are top land to the nearest suitable airport this airplane could not was not allowed to with so many different countries and international bodies now involved at this point. can there be transparency in this investigation? to there will be actions by certain parties to perhaps cover up, but the evidence is overwhelming. where's the evidence? in the black box, as we talked about 5 data recorder, voice recorder, voice recorder, and an embryo or the manual brazilian manufacturers of this aircraft will be part of the investigation. and it can't read, it slipped by the people who manufactured big or airplane. the evidence is

overwhelming, in my opinion, at this early stage, and a lot of people, of course, are going to be waiting to hear from the results. and the information on those blackbox is a be a, some specialist richard richard levy in dallas. thank you so much for your insights . so let's look now some more stories making headlines. who's the rebels in yemen? say 3 people have been killed by is really air strikes. the international airport in the capital. so now was hit along with the port city of data, as well as military set. it struck military targets. some of these have repeatedly launched, strikes on israel, saying they're in solid arity with palestinians in gaza. francis handed over a 1st military base and chad as it begins to withdraw forces from the african nation. chad abruptly ended military cooperation with its former colonial ruler. last month, the french army had some 1000 foods in the country. russia has declared a federal emergency over an oil spill in the northern black sea. the still happened

after 2 tankers were damaged in a storm. earlier this month, oil has coated beaches near a napa popular resort and harmed wild life in the area. well finished, authorities are investigating whether a ship that left the rush important may have damaged a power cable connecting finland and estonia. the cable, which runs under the baltic sea was disconnected from the grid on christmas day finish. authorities have described the incident as grave sabotaged by the finish. police have now boarded the eagle s. that's the name of the ship as they investigate whether the oil tanker may have been responsible for cable will take months to fix and the stone is foreign minister said the damage to underwater infrastructure has become so frequent that it's hard to believe that it could have been an accident earlier dw corresponded terry salts told us about the challenges countries face to protect these under see cables. this is

a huge concern. it is happening more often that the cables are damaged. and this is why both the european union and nato and those 2 organizations together are working with national authorities to step up surveillance to step up and both from the air and uh, with a maritime resources. there's an e. u. nato task force that is working on this together need to set up a new maritime center and national authorities are asking for more support from nato, for example. but, you know, as i mentioned in international waters, you can't stop the ships from sailing. and that's part of the problem, and not to mention just this huge undersea infrastructure. it's impossible to keep an eye on all of it. dw terry salts there. let's check in now on some other stories on south korea's main opposition party has filed a motion to impeach the countries acting president 100. so it comes less than 2 weeks after lawmakers voted to impeach his predecessor when sophia,
