that also allowed india to whether the global recession in 2008 as india was largely unaffected by that may have. and even as he did that, your monthly be tell you, he did not forget about the welfare of the pool. he passed the laws that gave the right to book or to the poor. he gave a free elementary education to the, to the children know in government schools and these kind of you to and really smaller big steps had lived millions of people out of 40. and it also gave boats to the so called engine busy task teddy, that is really instrumental to, you know, india. so i guess growth on a global stage and the other biggest economy that cheese are remembered for is big india out of new to i solution. you know, by signing this so simply need to deal with the us that went on to see meant the relationship between the 2 country and mind. do he did so at the cost of losing the majority of his government. because many of the parliamentarians in, within his party, adding the opposition,

but against the whole idea of what you took the gamble and he went on for months, you know, to lo, be for this deed. and finally, he was able to bring the parliamentarians to his side of so really, you know, a silent procedure and his legacy is quite remarkable. daddy's now the thing served as prime minister of india for a decade looking back. charlotte, how is his 10 year seen overall to where he was famously called the accidental prime minister because he didn't choose to become one or nor was he collected. he was in fact put on the position by congress lita sonya and got the who says to down to the also to become the prime minister of the country when the party one uh the election in 2004. so he's good, except that you know, he didn't win any collections of, you know, on his own. and even then he went on to leave the country, you know, also 1000000000 people. but that said, he owed massive respect. uh, you know, in,

over the next 10 years of his daniel as prime minister, you know, for the, for the economy reforms as well as the photo policy decisions. however, in the 2nd dorm office, private associates, of his administration, was marked by you know, a number of corrections scandals by some of the ministers in his government. and he took a lot of slack on behalf of those ministers, which he, himself was truly respected for his integrity. and he famously said when the last election, due to all these corruptions, got those in 2014. he said, history will be kind it to me. then the contemporary media board as a matter of fact, the opposition leaders the department to show the thank you very much. that was dw, is shallow. yeah, the in delhi, a smell ation. experts say russian air defense fire likely cause the passenger jet crash and cause external on wednesday. us an observation on the officials also point to

russian involvement. moscow has warrant against drawing conclusions during the investigation. 38 people were killed when the us or by johnny or algebra, john airlines. flight went down 29 survived. the plane was traveling from algebra, jones, capital barcode to the russian city of girls. and when it veered off course and crouched in azerbaijan, a date of warning was held for the victims. the traffic so known, says they, in tribute to the victims of the ill fated advise on a line flight at the box. you airport, people held a moment's silence. outside the building, dozens to to lay flat was in memory of the dead. the plane was supposed to fly north west from of the by jones capital about to, to the city of growth need in chechnya,

in southern russia instead it via hundreds of miles, of course, across the caspian sea. before crossing on wednesday, near the city of october in catholic stone, initially, all sorts he said, a book strike may have closed the crash, but an increasing number of international officials and aviation next book. now say they believe the plane was shot down by russian ga, across defense messiahs that they say footage of the fuselage scene during the rescue efforts. and images that have circulated on social media showed signs of shrapnel damage. it's also known that the carrier of southern rusted, the plane diverted from is repeatedly used at defense systems against ukrainian drain strikes as their resources familiar with the investigation, say the plains communications could have been power lies by electronic wolf systems

on the approach into gross me the criminal has distance itself from the reports spokesman dmitri past scoffed to people to await the outcome of the investigation. remarkably almost tough of those on board survived some even emerging from the wreckage on a date many of us west severely injured. so that way when the plane 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 united. yeah. the plains blackbox has been recovered intact. and that's hope, it will shed more light on what really happened earlier we spoke about this with richard levy. he's an agent expert who was a commercial airline pilot for over 40 years. he told us about the latest evidence

in the investigation. what you're looking at now is, 1st of all, there are no reports in the crew about or bird strike. birth 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. look, you put a few slash look through the pictures of the holes. the passers reported an explosion outside of the aircraft. shrapner went inside of the aircraft. what happens in a pressurized airplane aircraft?

you with his cabin pressurization and the auction mass come down there and the aircraft again. inversely, this is what happened to the control, the airplane j, the anti aircraft fire, allegedly inside of clear fire i want to clarify is set to the hydraulics 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 a globalization systems on this aircraft got confused and they sent out false data to a company and search one called flight data 24. they showed the aircraft climbing to sandy 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. they have a voice recorder, they're kind of get the cockpit or the psychic communications just before the crash . to meanwhile, finish authorities are investigating whether a ship that left a russian porch. they damaged a power cable connecting finland and estonia. the cable, which runs under the baltic sea was disconnected from the grid on christmas day. a ship is also suspected of damaging for internet lines. finish authorities have described the incident as grave sabotage. finish police have now bordered the eagle s as they investigate whether the oil tanker may have been responsible, finished present. alexander stop suggested the freighter is part of russia's shadow fleet. ships used on officially by moscow to deliver sanctioned goods to other countries. stoney is foreign minister said the damage to underwater, infrastructure is becoming so frequent that it's hard to believe it could be an

accident. earlier dw correspondent terry shoulds told us about the challenges that countries face to protect these under c 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. nato 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 as not to mention just this huge undersea infrastructure. it's impossible to keep an eye on all of it. watching dw in there is just a reminder of our top story. india his analysis,
