them. the u.s. attorney general defended his actions in front of the senate this week over his son mation of the report democrats are calling for william barres immediate resignation claiming he misled the public over the results of the russia collusion probe back in march barr released a four page summary of the report which stated there'd been no collusion between donald trump and russia as for obstruction of justice barr said the special counsel had failed to reach a conclusion on the matter during his senate grilling the attorney general claimed robert mueller didn't think he had misrepresented the special counsel's report of some of the senators questioning him did not buy that. it's very clear with me that he was not suggesting that we had misrepresented his report i feel it's or was purposely misleading and i think others do too now the american people know that you are no different from rudy giuliani or kellyanne conway or any of the
12:33 pm
other people who sacrificed their once decent reputation for the grifter and liar who sits in the oval office being attorney general of the united states is a sacred trust you have betrayed that trust america deserves better resign the democratic party is on the warpath and all who stand between them and their goal of ousting donald trump have a target on their forehead either join with them or step down this attorney general lacks all credibility for years i really do yes. he should step down or should resign and if he does not resign he should sing impeachment proceedings also he does need to resign and step up william barr he is the next target in between the democrats and their goal of impeaching donald trump why well he released the bob muller report showing no collusion with russia a special counsel found no collusion by any americans in ira's illegal activities
12:34 pm
testifying before the senate bar was forced to answer questions about misleading the public and standing in the way and the democrats picked up on one key phrase in bob miller's letter that being public confusion about key aspects of the investigation the democrats thought they had him with this one but not so fast i asked him if he was suggesting that the march twenty fourth letter was inaccurate and he said no but that the press reporting had been inaccurate feels like the seeds of a cover up are here there are still many questions tonight for instance why president trump and so many people in his orbit lied about their contacts with russia i don't need them over report to know he's a traitor i have the t.v. but hope so. brings a tunnel for the democrats next to the stand obstruction of justice president trump in gage destruction of justice and those of his kind of the president who. to my reading of. the report almost certainly obstructed justice or did you find that to be persuasive if obstructing justice. you know but
12:35 pm
option still remain on the table for the democrats one perhaps being the fact that the report was redacted perhaps the bombshell the democrats wanted was simply cut out of the report the public version has been estimated to have only ten percent redactions volume two has only about two percent redactions for the public version so ninety eight percent of volume to dealing with obstruction is available to the public and you can't deny that the democrats have drive they've got a goal they've got persistence that is here in abundance and with their eyes on the prize in two thousand and twenty we can expect that the democratic party will keep chasing tails kaleb up and r.t. new york the following day farcical scenes unfolded in the u.s. congress after the attorney general refused to show up for further grilling he said he had already told senators all you had to say about his version of the report democratic lawmakers didn't cancel the hearing though and place bars name card in
12:36 pm
front of an empty chair and congressman steve cohen then put a ceramic chicken on the desk as a symbol of the attorney general's perceived cowardice and tucked into some k.f.c. with democrats not knowing charges of contempt of congress some house members branded the situation absurd. yes failed the men and women of the department of justice by placing the needs of the president over the fairy ministration of justice and yes we will have no choice but to move quickly to hold the attorney general in contempt if you stores or fails to negotiate in good faith mr byers the moment of accountability will come soon enough and i think that probably applies chicken bar should have shown up today and answered questions the black sox look clean compared to this team it's a sad day in a bear for the democrats scared of they don't know bill barr here today they've had the report they've read it they don't like what's in it for the still in the circus continues over here the congress in its capacity here is not really investigating
12:37 pm
malfeasance by the attorney general which is their job as oversight they're actually having some perry mason like a mole or two investigation which will gain them nothing and the bar i think just basically said look six hours of this is enough i'm done they didn't want him to show up they made it impossible for him to come so that they could have the theater they had today it's about politics it's not about finding any wrongdoing that part is over now we have the political discussion the tiny tiny tiny portion that's not grand jury testimony that was actually redacted that's been made available to the committee and they don't want to look at it because as i said they want the theater that they don't want cooperation they're not looking for something bad they've decided there's something bad they make the bald assertion and that's good enough for them. we return to our breaking news this hour as we have learned that more than ten passengers have reportedly been injured after a fire on board a passenger plane force it to make an emergency landing in moscow at this point we

a fire of that was registered on board it was said to have lost radio contact with air traffic control and that it made this landing with absolutely no radio communication pitches for. a considerable one as well engulfing this aircraft when it landed huge plume of black smoke as you can see there showing that all was far from being well we were following this story very closely but as you can see this is a major incident folding. the reports to say that when they lost connection with the airport the landing was done in silence as mentioned and that it was actually only landed on the second attempt at actually more or less crash landed onto the runway and skidded to a halt as the flames trailed behind again we do a we have official confirmation that ten people were injured but reports indicate that it's possible one person killed of course it would be a miracle if it is true it does turn out that only those ten people were injured and all other passengers were safely evacuated the passengers of the airports
12:53 pm
a cloud of black smoke coming from the air runway. now of course the weather conditions were very rough and that is why we're told the plane was only able to land on the second attempt. airport another airport in the moscow region is actually receiving additional flights that have been diverted from sheer amount of a we're told at this point while most of the air strips were shut down after the
12:54 pm
plane crash landed onto the runway that one strip at least has been reopened at this point in time again for anyone just joining us now a reports indicate that only one person was killed again that is not been confirmed official information says that ten people were injured when a passenger plane more or less crash landed at moscow's sheremetyevo airport there are roughly eighty people on board that plane and we have been told at this point it out emergency services have brought the situation under control and that the fire has been brought to troll and all the passengers were evacuated from the plane at this point various transport ministry officials have already been deployed to the scene and checks into the safety of the plane have already been started of course there will be an investigation to find out exactly what happened but we do know at this point is that the plane departed from moscow at five fifty pm local time but it was forced to turn back shortly afterwards when a fire alert went off on board it then lost connection with the airport and landed
12:55 pm
in silence with no directive from the airport it only made that landing on the second attempt that's what we're told due to poor weather conditions it has been raining on and off throughout the day here in the russian capital. and just. people might not be aware that this is a time of major. rush hour in a lot of people to say deploys in particular but you know schools unlike. a lot of people who would get the days off what is about a. holy day and the people go way this time of year so the airports of boobies. busies they get at any point to the i would imagine. a lot of people will move. will understand just how sickening these pictures are i mean why for. herself is taking advantage of these holidays these public holidays she's going away thank goodness she wasn't flying today she wrote yesterday but a lot of people who found relatives friends who were traveling out over this period

12:57 pm
engulfing the air class craft and huge plumes of dark smoke are just pouring off of it and this is the. nightmare scenario for people who are afraid of flying this is the sort of thing that people are terrified of that something will go go wrong usually people are concerned we're told the statistics say that's when you're taking off that's the biggest danger it seems like this this plane actually did take off and was up in the air for some period before for some unknown reason being forced to return. from the pictures that we see. refining and you could see the passages you go to within seconds of hidden the tarmac running literally running for their lives but what we see neal and i are here in the studio covering our breaking news and we're going to take a short break but we'll be covering continuing our coverage of the breaking news at the top the hour.
