breaking news on r t a boeing seven thirty seven passenger jet has crashed in the russian city of design during an attempted landing all fifty eight people on board including two children have died it is not known what caused the tragic accident investigators are looking at a range of reasons including pilot error weather conditions and technical issues. broadcasting live it direct from our studios in moscow this is our team sean thomas let's get right to our top story this monday has it been declared a day of mourning in russia's republic after a boeing seven thirty seven jet crashed because an airport killing all fifty people

on board it had departed from moscow and was attempting to land when the tragedy happened now these are the pictures we've just gotten in from because an airport where the jet crashed and caught fire apparently during its second landing attempt now there were two children among the forty four passengers and six crew members also perished so far ten of the victims have been identified as you can tell us more lucy thank you very much for being with us here now what can you tell us so far about what happened how did this all unravel well certainly a fatal journey for all fifty people on aboard that flight flight three sixty three of course operated by tartar ston airlines that the plane had taken off as normal from domodedovo airport right here in moscow about six twenty pm over an hour later and it crash landed at its destination because on international airports as you had mentioned forty four passengers script six crew members. all confirmed dead exactly

how the events unfolded are still a bit murky we do know that the crew was reportedly trying to abort the landing in order to make a second approach the pilot had notified the control center about the problems but as the plane tried to land it exploded when it struck the runway unclear whether the explosion took place upon impact or before how now we simply don't know the cause at this point investigators are looking at a large number of issues there some concerns that perhaps some problems with fuel might have been to blame they're also looking at weather conditions pilot error as well as of course mechanical failure now tarter ston airlines did release a statement saying that its pilots were experienced although that doesn't rule out human error we also know that there were strong wind gusts at the time although again we don't know whether whether it was the cause what is clear however is the lack of survivors of the emergency rescue operations have wrapped up all the survive there are no survivors and of course that airport will be closed until mid day on monday that specific airplane however it wasn't that's even though as it was

its final journey it wasn't just first earlier on sunday that flown propose on to moscow right here we have spoken to one woman who was on that flight and she recounts her experience. these pilots but inside. the flooded so smoothly just before the plane started vibrating if you sleep you know. it was going to be a good time to clean you know turn don't do with the screen the plane was shaking from side to side linda to. lending and they felt like the plane was going to rule over the runway. no lucy that was one particular passengers experience on board the penultimate flight there what about the actual airplane itself what can we can you tell us about this particular plane where the plane itself has been operational for twenty three years the boeing seven three seven five hundred it's been through a number of airline owners and in fact the hardest on airlines was the eighth

operator to have that specific plane in its fleet is not necessarily a problem in itself as long as it's maintained properly the seven three seven also is the bestselling airline it's hugely popular there's you know some one thousand two hundred of them in the air at any given moment boeing though the maker has responded to this tragedy it said in its statement that it's actually sending a technical team of advisers to help russia with that investigation and investigation that's not only going to be hot in demand here but also abroad as we found out a british national a woman was on board that flight one of the fatalities now the tragedy does highlight what unfortunate is a poor safety record for the regional airlines that supply international routes across the largest nation in the world russia and the former soviet republics combined in twenty eleven had an accident rate that's three times the world average so this is certainly bound to increase the pressure on this investigation to really push authorities to get to the bottom of it to figure out if this was isolated

incident or perhaps a trend of course whatever they come up with that's not going to bring back those fifty people who tragically perished on that flight sean back to you. reporting for us there and we know you're going to stay in touch and across the situation as it develops thanks for being with us. now we are also keeping track of everything that is happening in cars on our web site hard dot com we've got all of the updates from the moment of the crash happened through till now. we've been getting you know the thoughts of aviation experts in russia and abroad earlier we spoke to count and mark weiss who is a civil aviation leader at the spectrum group and used to fly the same kind of airplane it has crashed in because on he believes that it was a chain of events that led to this catastrophe. that was a poor repair that led to the t. and obviously catastrophic failure but all of these factors are going to be looked at normally in an emergency you want to get the aircraft on the ground safely as

quickly as possible so what would have caused the aircraft to not landed on its first attempt was weather a factor. crew from t cruelness there are going to be so many things that have to be looked at keeping in mind that accidents generally don't happen from a single event it's a chain of events that lead to a catastrophe like this now this is stage of a righty of factors could have been responsible for sunday's crash let's look at what the key causes of air tragedies have been over the years now we have a pie chart here that illustrates everything today's aircraft are and credibly sophisticated machines but very sensitive as well to how they're being flown more than half of air crashes are caused by errors made by the flight crew and various technical problems with the aircraft are also responsible for just under a quarter of problems leading to accidents of course bad weather conditions can

play their part and they are behind a twelve percent of crashes and you can see that little sliver in the yellow right there finally only nine percent of air incidents are due to terrorist attacks or hijackings these figures are from plane crash info dot com. an analysis of the all important flight voice and data recorders should provide provided vital information as to what happened during the flight david lee amount the operations and safety editor of flight global magazine says that authorities will get clues to the reasons of the accident when the two black boxes are found. two boxes one of them records all of the communications on the flight deck that's what the pilots say to each other what the pilots say on the radio all the incoming voice messages from air traffic control and also you can even hear things like the engine noise if there was an explosion on board you would hear that then the other box is is i suppose you could say the main one but they're both very important in their own way

is the flight data recorder which records basically the health of the airplane it records what the engines are doing it records the profile of the aircraft speed it's acid tud it records all sorts of parameters the airlines you know what the airline is doing from minute to minute and there will be at least half an hour of recording of this and it may be more before the time that the action accident actually happened so your therapist will have a great deal of information to work with. now let's go over what we know about this tragic plane crash in central russia so far a boeing seven thirty seven jet traveling from moscow to cazan apparently lost altitude and exploded during its second landing attempt none of the fifty people on board survived two children and the elder son of tatarstan president were among those killed it was first believed that there were no foreigners on board but now it has emerged that a british woman died during the crash the airport will remain closed until noon and

we don't know yet what exactly caused the accident investigators are considering poor fuel quality as well as the possibilities of pilot error and inclement weather we've obtained documents from don air company and will begin examining them in a few hours the boeing seven thirty seven a five hundred series aircraft had been in use for twenty three years hardest on air is the eighth airline to fly that particularly plane since it came into service . now to other news recapping our weekly program this week's interlude between the two rounds of crucial talks over iran's nuclear program has sent some mixed signals on the one hand of the u.n. watchdog declared that atomic projects have been virtually frozen since president

rouhani came to power then on the other hand u.s. lawmakers are insisting even more sanctions are placed on iran and move that threatens to derail the deal the white house is urging congress to give diplomacy a chance but who the powerful israeli lobby is insisting on tougher penalties the previous round of negotiations failed to produce any results reportedly due to france's surprise opposition. is in israel now he has already assured that paris will be tough and will not ease its pressure on iran during next week's new. talks citing hussein. an iranian policy maker who used to be on iran's nuclear diplomacy team in negotiations with. says that france's behavior shows double standards. france has a peace. because of israeli claims i think this is. a making the i. five.

you're a nuclear program and frequently has announced a reasonable evidence of day vision toward the end is asian this is kill it but i really. of france is a nuclear bomb because france has a strategic relations with israel who each member of n.p.t. poses to four hundred nuclear bombs therefore france should not be concerned about nuclear bomb head to master nuclear bomb france head to nuclear bomb therefore france has a very very bad record and should the talks result in something israel isn't happy with it is reportedly ready to join forces with a former sworn enemy for a possible strike on iran britain's sunday times newspaper suggests saudi arabia is working closely with israel's mossad on a military campaign if he runs

a nuclear program is encouraged by an agreement in geneva now under the reported plan saudi arabia is understood to be allowing israel use of its airspace it would also assist israel in deploying combat drones helicopters and tanker planes the saudis are furious and are willing to give up israel all the help it needs that's what an anonymous source allegedly told the newspaper the sunni muslim gulf kingdom is alarmed that shiite dominated iran could get a nuclear weapon and concern shared by israel iranian political analyst saeed mohammad marandi thinks that if the saudi israeli plan plays out there would really be no winners. well we don't know if these reports are true but the saudis and the israelis are moving closer and closer to one another however it's highly unlikely that the saudis or the israelis would really want to attack iran because then that they both countries would be losers they would be seen as aggressors and obviously

the iranians would retaliate the soviets would you know very vulnerable it would create an economic catastrophe for the world and that would mobilize the whole middle east especially people on the streets in support of iran they would isolate israel after all the americans with all their firepower. failed in their attempt to bring about an attack on syria because world public opinion and american public opinion simply would not accept it. on to syria now where the country could be free of most of its chemical arsenal by the end of the year if another country agrees to take it on the ambitious deadline was said by the international chemical watchdog as part of a road map which also says all toxic stockpiles must be destroyed by the end of june but the biggest problem now is the lack of volunteers to take on a delicate task of eliminating more than a thousand tons of highly poisonous materials norway was of the first to give a firm no its refusal was mirrored by albania which saw

a series of protests against the country being the destruction side for syria's chemical arsenal political analyst chris bambery says it should be europe's wealthy nations who stepped in to implement the ambitious plan. my understanding is that they will go to france and i think it's really the onus is on britain or france in terms of the western european powers to deal with this because as i say they do have chemical weapons a little we don't advertise the fact that britain and france have stockpiles of chemical weapons they do have the ability to do that the french and the british have the facilities were you can dismantle these things safely they have the expertise surely that's the best option syria has abided by this deal but west should really put its money where its mouth is he signed up to this deal it's sending ships in this case norwegian ships to deal with this but the norwegians claiming they don't have the expertise to dismantle it you can see why chemical weapons say they will not take them in and i think it kind of smacks of i resent

over the fact that really in the end this deal has come or. brokered a deal. and no syria has abided by the agreements over it and i can't hear but feel there's a sort of kind of resentment in european capitals that actually the deal has worked . destruction of chemical weapons is not the only problem in syria now the brutal conflict between government forces and rebels continues to claim thousands of lives on sunday thirty one troops including four generals were killed by a bomb attack on a syrian government building near damascus the explosives are thought to have been placed in the basement meaning opposition fighters were able to breach security to get into the building. now the e.u. is it being dragged deeper and deeper into the conflict intelligence chiefs believe more than a thousand young european muslims have joined the is the lists and are fighting in syria now it's not that they are being overcrowded through social media the counterterrorism coordinator says the jihadists agenda goes further than toppling

assad it's also a real threat to europe we are in the process of trying to understand better the reason why so many europeans are going to syria where we being. and that's what we understand many of the mean the joining the two groups really for you to indicate up. in groups which not only wants to work through a sad but of the global jihad rhetoric and share fully the project and therefore we think. would see that in the future but many of them will get back in europe much more radical the means by that recruit other day meet for sob even direct to want to attack in europe. in two of greece's largest cities athens and thessaloniki tens of thousands have joined peaceful rallies in memory of the

one nine hundred seventy three student uprising marking the fortieth anniversary of the rule of old against the country's military rule the protests were also directed at the current government for the austerity measures it has imposed in exchange for e.u. loans artie's linsey france reports from athens. this him instruction that is one commemorating the fortnight of arson in the public sector uprising which changed so much of next society specifically in the government is not only drawing who were former students and current students of people who want government to change but it's also drawing people who are that's the effect of economic reforms the austerity measures the response undertake to get these bailout packages the latest one many people laid up winning journalist and possibly university administrators they're here getting their voices heard is also having these questions to make sure that everything goes beastly and i was leading many to demonstrate it was while. everyone seems very peaceful. protests started in the afternoon has gathered

thousands of people move all over athens. many people from teachers' unions turning out and actually. people from all sectors of society really because it was fun to see some what took place forty years ago which was students rising up to ask for their representation within government and still feeling that leadership me strange in greece for that to happen. lindsay france reporting for us there now and to some other news making headlines around the world for you this hour at least twenty four people have been killed after a cargo train crashed into a boss and other vehicles south of egypt's capital according to local media reports there twenty eight others were also heard to me incident the train was traveling from the city of bani suai for and collided with vehicles at a crossing about forty kilometers from cairo near the village of da sure reportedly most of the dead and injured were family members returning from a wedding in the boss egypt is notorious for train crashes and has

exposed to in the united states it's called private re homing and it allows parents to get rid of their own wanted adopted kids by advertising online no background checks or government scrutiny means that children could end up with families who would never be legally allowed to adopt or could even be taken in by criminals or has details. animal owners may be familiar with the term private re homey typically it refers to those seeking to give their pet away but today the practice is reportedly being used by parents looking to give away the child they adopted from overseas and no longer wants an investigation conducted by reuters found that this type of child trafficking is happening largely in cyberspace where parents allegedly advertise their unwanted children through yahoo and facebook groups the lawless atmosphere allows internationally adopted orphans to be passed on to

strangers without government scrutiny or even a paper trail as a result many of these children can end up in the custody of criminals sex offenders or abusive adults that would have never been allowed to legally adopt many of the children advertised online for private re homing range between the ages of six to fourteen and had been adopted from abroad including from countries such as russia china ethiopia and ukraine poses huge risks right because some of the pay always into which these children who are probably perfectly good in the children are doing better perhaps and some of them are not as of this year u.s. citizens are banned from adopting russian orphans since one nine hundred ninety nineteen russian children have reportedly died at the hands of their american adoptive parents reporting from new york marine upper nile. well what happens to adopted children when their foster families are prepared to have their own children

or to spoke to one young man who found himself advertised online and then passed on to a new family after his parents decided it wasn't want it anymore. dimitris stewart was five years old when he and his brother were adopted from an orphanage in a small town near moscow it would be a rocky road living with his adoptive american parents didn't really feel like. i was there when he was a young teenager after years of strained relations and after his parents had biological children of their own the stewarts decided it was time to find him a new home and that's when they turned to the internet is that i go underground groups where people want. their destructive a dog sions and. that's how dimitris parents found nicole isa in eastern advertiser self as an aspiring mother that ran a home school to meijer found out that this was far from the truth this is little tiny basic. doubt as they hear me serious

it was clear that his new home was no home school there was any on the desk there had to do homework he didn't even make you go to school she gave me the option to go to school and then we had a biological kid that was taken away from them from the say so they want a lot of any more kids and that's why they're doing this underground underground thing nicole had been married to a man who was a pedophile and that she could not get a homestudy due to their finances these days private adoptions are far more common it's unclear how many of them were facilitated on the internet where it's harder to regulate the transactions between families after the traumatizing ordeal dimitri moved to this group home outside atlanta he feels safe with his new guardians in this quaint home in a nice suburban neighborhood use never know who's who's going to. be there looking for kids and there's people out there everywhere and marietta georgia lives of all

our t. . well it's gone tom obey notched up a grim milestone this week former american military top brass demanded its closure the notorious prison has been in operation for twelve years over three dozen retired generals and admirals have written to the senate to close what they call a symbol of torture and a promise president obama has failed to fulfill so far are treasonous to see a trick in a report from inside the guantanamo bay detention detention center excuse me. when it comes to this prison the numbers speak for themselves since being set up after the attacks of nine eleven a total of seven hundred seventy nine detainees have been held at guantanamo today one hundred sixty four people remain. have been long cleared for release but remain locked up a total of six people is currently under trial alleged prisoners of war brought

here since two thousand and two removed from the battlefield of america's ever expanding war on terror it's both the policy of the u.s. not to hold anyone longer than necessary but we also know that whenever we release someone we assume a rootless over a period of more than a decade the majority of detainees held here have been set free and if the men of guantanamo are really these superhuman monsters you know the worst of the worst are quote the cheney. they would have been with. most of those still kept locked up have not been charged and are being held indefinitely what sort of a black hole of the existing in would the president of the united states simply refuses to say the innocent but u.s. officials say the law of war remains behind this barbed wire the idea is that in a war when you capture folks you as the capturing authority are permitted to hold people during the duration of hostilities. when hostilities and or if there's no

longer any purpose legitimate purpose to to hold them then they must be released a tiny problem the war on terror has no geographic borders with men once held here repeat treated to a wide array of countries. who are only specific to guantanamo you can't even you couldn't even the case on the u.s. mainland because it would be unconstitutional and illegal the war on terror also has no end in sight and national security is a popular excuse to simply ignore the law. over the years countless detainee claims of mistreatment and abuse dozens of suicide attempts mass hunger strikes lost patience and hope just this year the majority of the prison population refused to eat for six months street only to be force fed washington has appointed a new envoy to close a camp that is a dark spot on america's image this comes after a massive hunger strike that returned the world's attention to the place that some have dubbed the gulag of our times even if close. to being a stage in u.s.

history forever it's very easy to end one ton of right you release the men that you're not prosecuting. and as you said only six men are being prosecuted right now the military prosecutor has made clear that he intends to prosecute a few more but he's also made clear that it won't be more than a few more barack obama promised to close the notorious facility on day one of his presidency he's now in his second term it's only a president can do it and the idea that it's you know that it's congress's fault is just not correct it is the president the top holding these men in detention some the president has to come in and this. it's hard to tell right now exactly how long we'll be down here doing this mission.
