i don't scream this is all to you live from moscow with you twenty four hours a day in indonesia the search for a missing russian plane has continued into the night there's been no contact with the cruel passengers who were taking part in the sales demonstration since all communications with the aircraft lost mid-flight that's now get the latest from sean thomas. sure it's been several hours since the plane went silent any news on what could have gone wrong well bill it certainly is a mystery at this point what we do know is the plane was on a routine flight taking people up to test the jet out as it were people who could be buying this plane for their own companies and it was supposed to be a thirty minute flight then we do know that the pilot requested to descend from tel ten thousand feet to six thousand feet and then it disappeared from radar at that point they decided to send out search crews but they had to call those crews back because of night time hours and poor weather conditions there are reports of fog in

that area at this point in time they're waiting to see when they can go back out to the search for that airplane again but one thing that they're not ruling out is they're not ruling out the possibility of a hijacking they also know that the plane was low on fuel in fact by the time the plane was supposed to land back at the airport in jakarta the fuel supposed to be spent so there could be a problem with that as well. to thirteen is in indonesia or know the area and the terrain very well just how difficult could it be to find that a. well certainly a lot harder than people might think because of the terrain in fact the mountains south of jakarta are volcanic some of them are very high and surrounding those mountains are hills valleys rocky terrain there are some plantations in the area lots of rivers but even those rivers aren't what you might expect as a river valley they are rocky type areas that aren't really easy to navigate now the good news is is that it is a densely populated island there are people everywhere so if something did. up into

this plane there will be someone who has seen it and authorities are hoping that they can get in touch with those people some time when the search resumes in the morning have there being any problems with the sukhoi superjet in the pole. well not really this is actually a brand new airplane it is russia's first sojourn into the commercial aviation industry since the soviet union in fact it was meant to revitalize the commercial aviation industry in russia in fact it is a highly technical and highly advanced piece of equipment and fact it was also equipped with equipment that could detect abnormalities in the terrain is so at this point in time no abnormalities this is an anomaly sean thanks very much indeed our correspondent sean thomas there well the sukhoi superjet one hundred was a brand new russian passenger plane and of course we're following the developments concerning the loss all of this new passenger plane on r.t. and a russian blogger somebody dalia who was initially supposed to be on board the missing superjet reports online from jakarta he's also providing us with the latest

pictures from the region he spoke with r.t. on the phone. the authorities are searching for the plane helicopters just returned says there's no trace of it rescuers are looking at the maps trying to determine where it could be i have been aboard this plane i flew here on board it there were two flights the first one was fine it lasted thirty minutes then we came back the plane was checked and it was fine the second flight should have also lost it for thirty minutes i could have been on it again but i stayed back because i wanted to film it from the ground this was a demonstration flight from indonesia an aircraft company that wanted to buy twelve such planes we have already been on this plane in kazakhstan pakistan. the next steps would have been laos and vietnam. and of course we'll keep you updated on the developments in the news here where the search continues for that brand new russian

passenger plane the. one hundred it went missing during a demonstration flight with fifty people on board. besides the troops thousands of british soldiers their lives during the war they went to see braving subzero temperatures in the arctic to deliver arms and food to the red army all in all four million tons of supplies were sent to the eastern front but i've been reports that epic effort has remained largely unrecognized until now the worst journey in the world was how woods and churchill described it ten day through hell the arctic convoys were a vital lifeline of supplies to the soviet union with britain's east an ally in the grip of a nazi onslaught a just nineteen john c. is was a gunner on board one ship braving fierce seas bitter cold and

a treacherous route infested by german u. boats never had their thing in the can you just imagine. wife's come in that. as the block of flats you just passed as who the wife say just picks us up picked us up just marketing ploy just the type of bar perry bar and we were fourteen thousand pretty heavily clark and you know we've been lifted up because you could hear the screws turn in at the war. below and in the water this is the very ship john says don't his job was to man the n.t.a. craft guns against the heavy enemy fire from above but the onslaught came from the sea to the huge icy waves with the warmth even a ship this size just over eight hundred ships were dispatched in total in the convoys but one in eight never made it back britain lost three thousand men in what was known as the most hostile theater of world war two the water is so cold that

falling in the mental most certain death yet those behind the mission never own and the men it sent john received medals for other campaigns see fourteen but he's still missing the one that matters most allow felt disgusted while being trey i mean there's only a few of us left now. a more well interactive. not frightened now and i mean come on. we i know. sam we did actually say i got a lengthy pacific defense medal i've got the order came pies out the campaigns are been in a pair of them only five to. one of an english who. medal for the ration card but that could soon change prime minister david cameron's finally ordered the medals review after years of campaigning from veterans they

haven't been honored so far because of bureaucratic red tape limiting war heroes to one medal per campaign medal rules also mean a stint on the convoys wasn't long enough to meet the six month minimum and impossible targets given the extreme conditions of the arctic is this gusting and to my mind that the fact that it's been it's taken so long is really heartbreaking because over the years we've been campaigning for this medal many many of these veterans have and have now passed away and the absolute tragedy if this would be if we did get to a situation where the metal barriers and the outcome with actions are allowed that medal and there are none of them alive to say that of the sixty six and a half thousand men who sailed on the arctic convoys just two hundred remain like john they've just been offered another medal by russian government for ever in debt to their service on top of the two it's already awarded to john will find out in september if he is to finally receive what he really wants but for other aging war

heroes like him it could be too little too late either bennett's r.-t. london. in syria a roadside bomb has hit a military truck injuring six soldiers the vehicle was part of a convoy carrying the head of the united nations observer mission on the server of reports from damascus. it was really interesting to come back the attack today i didn't vote during that service is that one of the questions we've been putting to the observer themselves over the past couple of days is how do you guys feel about the sentiment towards you is there any concern about that changing and they've also you know we're being welcomed that's why well there is a concern for a lot of people here is that there is going to be elements trying to undermine this mission and i was speaking to the head of the national coordinator council in the fight opposition here in syria the other day i asked him that question whether he was concerned about the mission being undermined and take

a listen to what he had to say we were afraid that and his plan is really threatened by those who are. providing. funds. and fifteen minds even against the plan that started the very very first moment when this plan was declared there said it's a failure it won't be better than the bleak learn so let's kill the hope that's what they're saying and if the hope is killed what will happen as he said the u.n. observer mission seemingly being welcomed by both sides but taking small steps that it's progress against need to build on that expectations of very very high remember there is a huge amount riding on this we're not going to want to see is that this affecting the mission and any way ortiz or first thing the jailed ukrainian opposition leader

you need to be moved from prison to a hospital for treatment the former prime minister had been in hunger strike for nineteen days claiming peace in an earlier attempt to move authorities are hoping this will defuse a growing diplomatic crisis is threatening to overshadow the euro twenty two all football championship ortiz. has this from kim. now we haven't officially confirmed that ukraine's former prime minister yulia timoshenko has been delivered to a hospital in her reported spinal hemorrhage will be treated it is interesting that it will be treated slowly by a german doctor now has insisted that no ukrainian doctor has access to her treatment it's unclear whether she is just mistrustful or she is afraid of her life something her daughter has been reporting now be lots of control over see preceding this transportation of. the hospital now for several weeks she had been claiming that she will not be treated in ukraine and asked permission to be relocated abroad for her spinal damage to be treated there but the authorities have been adamant

that she would not leave the korean soil before that there was an attempt to transfer you to one of the hospitals. in fact she back then claimed that prison guards physically abused her during the transportation and recently photos of her bruises were made public on the internet causing a lot of fuss here in ukraine and internationally and very harsh reaction following the a legit. physical abuse by the prison guards domestically with thousands of supporters of. protesting in the prison building and near the court building and also very harsh reactions coming internationally now several leaders of european states said that they would you were twenty championship in ukraine and poland because of the way had allegedly been treated by prison guards and the list of the officials included the german chancellor angela merkel the government of the netherlands the president of the czech republic and the german president as well as several other

top officials in europe now ukraine even had to cancel the european states summit in the crimea in this city because of so many officials from europe deciding to boy call this summit and certainly the fact that she will be treated in a hospital by. german doctor is definitely we are certainly waiting for any more developments in this rather turbulent story. well if you've just joined us we've been covering russia's a victory day celebrations throughout the day here and millions of russians are marking the occasion to commemorate russia's triumph jury what it calls the great patriotic war when we observed a minute's silence dedicated to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. that somber moment is central to the commemoration of victory in the great

patriotic war and that minute's silence is held by eternal flames and war memorials all over russia and the former soviet union and it's there to commemorate the twenty seven million twenty five to twenty seven million people who died during the course of that conflict when germany attacked the soviet union in june one nine hundred forty one the nazi regime nearly destroyed the soviet union but over the next four years on the battlefront ranging from the black sea to the baltic from the volga and all the way back to berlin the soviet union managed to turn the tide of the war until an armistice was signed in germany in one nine hundred forty five its data chief meant that makes this day and that minute so important there's been a parade here through red square fourteen thousand troops tanks modern aircraft and missiles have paraded through and also today there are fireworks all of this just

as it was in the parade in one thousand nine hundred forty five to mark the victory then there's also a parade of veterans that number growing smaller each year the people who can remember from their own minds those dark days and also the laying of the wreath next to the eternal flame and the tomb of the unknown soldier up against the kremlin walls if you look around in the days surrounding picture day you'll see lots of people wearing ribbons like this this red and black ribbon and that's become the symbol of the commemoration of victory day people hang it on their bags they put it on there because you'll see it's all over the place and also around europe today it's the day after ve day that was held yesterday for the same reason the victory over nazi germany the difference is because the armistice was signed very late in the evening on the eighth. made in moscow it had already turned to the ninth of may it must be said v. day doesn't hold such weight in europe anymore as victory day does here in moscow

a lot of young people here it's been recorded in poles they're starting to forget lenin they're starting to forget stalin but a lot of them still remember victory day it is almost seventy religious day here in the russian calendar and a lot of young people around moscow today have been carrying flowers as they do every year on victory day they give those to all the people to veterans to people who lived through that time with the message thank you thank you for all that you did to win the victory over nazi germany. there and now we can bring you some of the highlights of that parade in red square. oh.

yeah. all over the world. well.

this is the live here. twenty four hours a day came up to twenty one minutes past the hour here in the russian capital now let's check out some other news making headlines around the world and. the leader of greece's left wing silesia party is attempting to form a new government after sunday's election. votes to rule alone alexis tsipras says he wants to form a coalition government based all tearing up the terms of the international bailout deal which he's described as barbaric as we see with two mainstream probe parties today as the two sides failed to agree greece will be forced to hold another election next month. behind a foil bomb plot was reportedly a double agent cia operatives are said to have infiltrated al qaeda in yemen and expose the plant a bomb hidden in underwear was meant to blown a u.s.

airliner from the skies on the first anniversary of osama bin laden's death a similar scheme was used three years ago but failed when the explosives didn't detonate properly. since jan has resumed its aerial bombardment on south sudan according to a military official a spokesman said sudanese warplanes have attacked three southern states over the past two days it's unknown how many bombs were dropped or how many people were killed in the attacks here in security council approved a resolution last month threatening sanctions against both countries if they did not see sponsor on the board and return to negotiations. hackers calling themselves the russian wing of the international anonymous group have reportedly attacked some of the government's main websites the claims were made in that twitter feed the president's page at the kremlin dot ru was earlier taken down for several hours in the run up to vladimir putin's inauguration the group posted a video threatening the websites of the government and prime minister both were

then targeted on the fourth of may they were forced off line previously a lot of us hackers have also infiltrated the websites of the cia f.b.i. the white house you case home office. israel's prime minister has joined forces with the opposition in a surprise move which puts an end to the need for elections but many of the country's military leaders remain it all ends with lawmakers who they feel are a little too trigger happy when it comes to the perceived threat from iran as a story. usually it's all secret service that's eavesdropping on others this time it was the other way around in what was supposed to be a closed form of the former security chief was caught saying this maybe i'm saying very difficult things i don't believe in the prime minister and not in the defense minister i've seen them from up close they are not people that i trust to lead the state of israel into an event of this magnitude the strongest criticism so far from

someone in the know bringing the growing rift between israel's political and military might of a whether or not a techie ran out into the open you are lying so it's not. maybe not polite but i'd prefer that in a sense of the sentence as we speak the truth. to our fourth story. where i think what we're saying first was that this government doesn't really engage with with the country as a whole that hasn't been a public discussion as to whether israel should launch a strike against iran and there's also a feeling that within the government itself it's only barak committed the of themselves who are making these decisions has been no white at the base among the smaller security cabinet or even the white a couple of israeli politicians are near hysterical when it comes to iran and they have more than hinted that a military strike is under consideration were determined to prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons we leave all options on the table and

containment is definitely not an option decision. yet. even. if he. is. for the first time ever the head of the israeli army while still in office has broken bank and thrown doubt on whether iran is in fact planning to go nuclear. iran is going step by step to the police where it will be able to decide whether to manufacture a nuclear bomb it hasn't yet decided whether to go the extra mile but will israel go the extra mile and decide to bomb iran and. the military or the security establishment the stalk the government almost all of the leaders of all the military and security establishments were replaced

recently the question is what will their presence establishments say and will be on subi supported by the government will make a divide between the two sides even deeper the temperature is rising ahead of nuclear talks slated to happen later this month in baghdad but also on this point there's disagreement with intel of is in a circle some high ranking israeli officials say pressure against iran is bearing fruit while israel's official line is that it won't be can't buy negotiations point to slee r.t. tel aviv. shortly will be discussing what's inflaming the conflict in syria that'll be up to recap of our top stories in a few minutes from now when we build on stay with this life here in moscow.

the people of the united states and their friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder his regime as an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be

no doubt about it we know for a fact that there are let there. this were just being carried out into the direction of dr david kay a respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart we have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community can provide. data cheney is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time and he says it could take another six to nine months to make a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more six hundred million dollars to fund a continuing search we have not yet found shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraq survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment. and that is most disturbing. sometimes the true

patriots takes the unpopular course but helps the country and for the stakes and even if they come this way at least from patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in a terrible international security situation and i think it's perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of other. to build a new. mission to teach me. is why you should care only.
