for israelis that. weekly here knocking international i don't know who thanks for joining us this hour we start with our top story this hour the. biggest airport where forty one people have now been dead off for a plane which happened on sunday evening. it was seventy eight passengers and crew on board the aircraft which was you to fly to motor one skin the country's far north. into flames. shortly after takeoff we should warn you the footage you're about to see the place is the stress. was . the

fifty six ph. piece. mullin about the may yet come up. plus. a correspondence he goes thought of was a sermon through airports covering the latest. after midnight the officials have finally decided to come out and update us journalists as to what the latest has been when it comes to this tragedy i mean the most important bit we've heard from the russia's investigative committee confirming the official number of those

deceased in the tragedy and that number is forty one and here is the latest as to what the representative of russia's investigative committee had to say have a listen down in miami and the rescue operation has ended and the investigative committees continue to work at the scene of the accident so this is a chairman airport response with me all of the injured received immediate medical assistance of seventy eight passengers and crew onboard thirty seven survived and forty one have died. now also we've been handed out official lists of those who survived this tragedy and i mean i mean this is what the local like it is just russian names and the numeration just to give us an idea as to how many made it out alive and the figure is world twenty eight people have been well more or less unharmed judging by this list and at least five people have had to be taken to hospital to receive medical attention we've heard from russia's health minister is

what she said that she was there when it was most of the summer the suffered from burns gas inhalation or other injuries the medical services who responded quickly now we've also heard from the official representative of the floor of the company operating this superjet who said that the evacuation was done in the well under the probe protocol time that was about fifty five seconds while the protocol time the acceptable time to evacuate all passengers in case of a emergency of this kind is ninety seconds now when it comes to what happened on board here is the understanding of the time line we have. so far the super super jet operated by air flow it took off from sheremetyevo airport and shortly after that apparently was had by a lightning now we get we're getting this information from at least two sources one attributing and unconfirmed report can attribute in this information to the flight

crew and another one we talked to one of the passengers who does seem to recall a white bright flashes that he went out and then apparently the crew decided to make a turn around and landed back at the sheremetyevo airport now apparently event lightning strike sent all the communications systems or flying so the crew had no contact with the ground and this partially explains i mean if this is true this is this partially explains what happened next now mind that all of that was happening thirty to forty minutes after takeoff which means that the fuel tanks of the super super jets were full and not these not boeing's not era buses they're not designed to allow and did this heavy on fuel so the procedure is to burn out to circle around the city to burn out the excess fuel why they didn't happened probably

because the crew was going in blind they had no directions from the ground so the aircraft attempted an emergency landing which turned into a crash landing so the aircraft did hit the tarmac at least twice it could be deplaned couldn't land from the first attempt so we'd hoped of from the ground and then wonder back again. this time and that's one apparently the shasta's they went into the fuel tanks and remember plenty of fuel to be caught a blaze and all the pictures of this aircraft running along the tarmac with all of its tail set ablaze now we've heard from some of the witnesses from some of the people who sought. the tragedy unfold have a listen. it was quite unexpected we had a flight so you katherine went to the gate a little earlier so as not to be late so we certainly had the window i just turned my head and all of a sudden i saw the burning plane with huge plumes of black smoke forces arrived at

the scene within two minutes they started fighting the fire they didn't show signs of panic as the plane was too close to those that were waiting on the runways we didn't know it was landing it looked like it was just fifty meters from the nearest aircraft. if. this plane was landing engulfed in a terrible fire firefighters were quickly on the scene but i couldn't see being evacuated from where i was in the terminal but you learned about the tragedy in the media and immediately went to the airport hoping to get information about a friend who was on the plane it's very hard for people waiting to hear the fate of their loved ones but everyone is trying to help provide best. now i am at the port and if you just look behind me and. the security service the security service of the share major airport but if you just turn around the corner that's where the relatives and the friends of those passengers who were on board of that flight have

been gathered and apparently there's like a whole center stablished there are designed to help them cope with what happened today basically emergency ministries. this excuse me psychologists are working with them as of now now when it comes to this airport i mean again take a look behind me it's just the security services and i don't know if you can hear me if you can see them but it's t.v. crews very very few passengers here doesn't look anything like the major hub it normally is a major major area of moscow so that's because this right after the tragedy this this. pool was shut down with only one emergency runway left operational so it means that all of the inbound flights to this airport had to be handled handled elsewhere for instance three other russian airports they have been trying

to help out and to take some of the load over the sheremetyevo airport but of course they can take all the planes so some of them as we had on speakers the announcements some of them were landed in other russian cities like surat of or petersburg others landed even abroad like in minsk belarus or in helsinki finland so all of that all of that is going on while the mergence the services and are stationed out there we have at least two ambulances still out there outside this terminal ready to provide. ready to provide their services or to anyone who might require them we've seen motorcades of all sorts of official vehicles from medics to to the investigative committee to the security services of flocking in rolling into this airport all of that while the investigators are still examining the site from the stand and just trying to determine the cause of the tragedy glad i'm

a putin has been briefed on this and he's demanded to know if swift and fair results swift and clear results from this from this investigation all of that while the investigators are working on site and talking to the relatives friends and passengers. the sewer superjet one hundred is a short to medium hold passenger airliner the plane involved in this tragedy was built in twenty seventeen with capacity for ninety eight passengers its range is up to four thousand six hundred kilometers one hundred eighty six planes of the same model are currently in service with various airlines we can now bring in victoria bruno an aviation engineer to get more on this site for joining us good to have you on today now from the information that's come out so far obviously speculation about lightning strikes about electrical fault etc what do you think is the most likely cause of this disaster. well i believe that

i feel that the lightning strike. is the more likely. you know the the catastrophe. because you can see from the picture of so we really. on the ground. big emergency landing far is. all girls at the back of their really. the engines of the all seem to be nothing. at least not in that picture and so. the. i must say that like of the. seven thirty seven. the recently crashed the engines are quite low. below the

that we saw. lee might have. problems similar to the seventy seven but doesn't seem to be the case. so i the only concrete evidence is it seems to be the lightning strike at the hit the the plane take off. just look at some of the videos that have come through all of the plane crash of the c.c.t.v. footage of all of the attempted landing you can see that actually strike the runway several times before coming to a stop on disintegrating all part of disintegrating what that normally be enough to create such a huge fire the fire destroyed effectively half the plane. i would think so. overly had contact with the runway it must have been

pretty hard. the. quite a few vital organ on the airplane may have being done edge including. fuel lines. and let's not forget that the medals. made all. in under excellent conditions can catch fire themselves. we saw very dramatic footage as well obviously of the the rescue operation of people jumping out going down the emergency chute from the plane aeroflot save evacuation took less than a minute fifty five seconds from the moment the rescue was the plane and people started leaving. obviously even one casualty is too many but we did have a number of survivors do you think that this relatively fast operation made a difference in saving those people's lives. there's no doubt that the

curation was done. it was a little bit less this ago however that's the most the part of the investigation that should will. will happen. ease really beyond the doors of the. heart of the graph fuselage so in that sense to help the evacuation because the emergency exits the police some of them are forward and that's where most likely person to go without. the. issue in the early days why how did the.

lightning the only seem all. these. i'd like to just talk a bit more about the super one hundred because it's a very new aircraft this one built in twenty seventeen it's it was released quite a short time ago if you compare it to the aircraft such as the boeing seven three seven max that's had two large air crashes in a very short period of time this is the first major crash with such a major loss of life or sue sue or superjet since it's been put out just how reliable is the sewer superjet i mean do you think this will lead to a grounding of its fleet while the cause of this crash is investigated. what for the. information so the lead not. completed that they have no. way because lightning seems to be

the cause of the origin of the arcs. and that they did little to do with the way and their craft these designs constructed and. the pilot. saw this. obviously investigators will we have a much more information that who gather and they may find something that nor but this point having seen the pictures of the of the tragic event in the. learn a few things hopefully they're liable i don't think. the problem is not necessarily not at all linked that to the way craft is the zine built and piloted but rather. project

coincidences with lightning. striking the wrong place ok vesta gaiters on the seat obviously will be looking for those black boxes any other information they can find to get more about the cause of this crash every tory brunow aviation engineer thanks for your insight today here on the program thank you. just to recap for those of you just joining us on the program forty one people have been confirmed dead after a plane burst into flames you are going to merge at sea landing here in moscow almost nine hours ago now the passenger plane operated by aeroflot was due to fly to modem on skin the far north of russia there are thirty seven confirmed survivors from the flight to many are being treated for burns and smoke inhalation injuries investigators have launched a criminal probe into possible safety violations i will keep you of course updated on this developing story here on r.t. international and are web site r.t.

dot com. israeli airstrikes on the gaza strip have now killed twenty three people that's according to palestinian media israel says four of its civilians have died following a massive barrage of rockets fired from gaza. you can see the impact of the windows from the truck from outside. that was flung as a result of the explosion.

of these really when a tree also claims a prominent hamas leader was killed as the result of an airstrike his car was reportedly hit by rockets in an attack which also claimed a number of other lives amassed blames the i.d.f. for killing two pregnant women at a toddler however tel aviv denies those claims i mean the sudden escalation of violence between the two states here's what locals from both sides had to say about the flare up. that there was a lot of bombing at the neighborhood to work back to a lot this street scene was indescribably people were afraid and terrified and run in and everyone was looking for their children nobody was able to see their use and after the first truck it hit everyone started screaming children and adults when the building collapsed nobody was able to see one another. and learn to leave it to those big of the me to the generals that know the situation to do what they know you know we can do is to cross our fingers and that they will succeed i mean we're

not commenting more we do trust the army we do hope benjamin netanyahu will take care of it but we are really worried from the rockets the bombardment of rockets from the gaza strip began on saturday morning several residential areas were hit mostly in the south of israel multiple sites in palestine well then targeted in return a three strikes has more details. his radius strikes continue to bombard gaza the israeli say that they targeting hamas and islamic jihad targets but among the offices that have been hit was the headquarters belonging to the took a show state run media agency now the turkish president added one has slammed the incident and no doubt this will increase tensions between israel and turkey at the same time israel has resumed its policy of targeted assassinations killing the person responsible in the gaza strip for distributing elaine in funds that are the native to gaza this comes as israel saw on sunday its deadliest day in terms of

casualties since the last israel gaza war back in two thousand and fourteen the south of the country is in a state of high lives businesses and schools will remain closed on monday and ways it is have been ordered to remain inside the bomb shelters here in tel aviv where i am with the some eighty kilometers to the north the municipality has open public bomb shelters and this comes as hamas creighton's that if israel doesn't stop what it says is its aggression it will target tel aviv in the coming hours now we do expect to see some kind of mediation efforts conducted by egypt in the coming hours this comes as israel stops all fuel supplies to the gaza strip now this will have a diary flicked on electricity inside the gaza don't forget that on monday morning the holy month of ramadan begins and for gazans this is reminiscent of the last gaza wall which saw a large pot of the wall happening during the month of ramadan on sunday night an

israeli security cabinet meeting wrapped up with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu telling the i.d.f. soldiers to keep upping their attacks. this morning i instructed the i.d.f. to continue its in terms of turning against terror targets in the gaza strip and to experiment its presence surrounding the gaza strip with a. forces artillery and troops we are operating and we will continue to do so to restore peace and security to residents in the south of the country and all of this common eights on the fourteenth of may with the us vision song face the whole way some twenty thousand tourists are expected to arrive in the country the festival will be held here in tel aviv so every very very tense situation here on both sides of the border coming as the united nations envoy to the region just calm and course on both sides to lay down. i condemn the continuing to give look at street gaza

anough palestinian israeli lives have been lost people injured houses damaged and destroyed it is time to deescalate and return to the understanding is that the past few months before it's too late journalist rami almagro he political analyst mitchell borrowed gave us their views on the latest escalation between israel and gaza. both the hamas and islamic jihad are are excellent in using human shields you know launching their operations from schools and from apartment buildings and from civilian centers and hoping that the israelis will not retaliate or that the israelis will be concerned with possible civilian casualties every civilian casualty is certainly a tragedy but the state of israel has to protect its citizens and has to protect its borders and for that some very very serious measures are being taken against the military infrastructure in gaza the government of gaza is the hamas it's a terror organization it's defined as

a terror organization by both the united by both the european union and united states and against a terror organization everything goes so they keep testing israel along the way how many rockets can they fire how many civilian israelis can be killed before israel does something but israel has fully clean hands in this endeavor and will continue to pummel gaza and to destroy any terrorist infrastructure hopefully no civilians will be killed in the process but israel is protecting its population this is something that is. intensely interested lee in the region of the time being and this could in large into a larger scale attack by the israelis and the intensity of will be seen between the two sides but you know is that israeli israeli air strikes and

israeli attacks on the gaza strip have been used to be march more intense much more brutal a much more rust in this against the palestinians israel has the most sophisticated army and the world the more sophisticated weaponry pinpoint attacks being carried out by israel and for the time being and israel you. this is a very sophisticated technology military technology to attack palestinians the casualties among palestinians are very high and the palestinians are paying a very high price for restrikes an israeli tank shelling against gaza that is ongoing saw there is some kind of this proportionate disproportionate. scale there's a proportionate scale of attacks by palestinians and israel is. just a reminder of the tragedy at russia's largest port forty one people have been

confirmed that after a plane caught fire on the runway at moscow sheremetyevo there were seventy eight people on board egypt berth in the flames are going to make just half hour after takeoff warning the footage you're about to see is the stressing. feet. like to be a yes. or
