become active. engagement equals betrayal. when some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. like to. read news on t.v. forty one people were killed off for a plane burst into flames. in moscow there were seventy eight passengers and crew on board the russian president prime minister expressed condolences to the families of the victims thirty seven survivors most of food are injured.

more than twenty palestinians were killed as israeli warplanes bombed. in response the cross border rocket fire that left four israelis dead. daniel hawkins thanks for joining us this. i always thought with the tragedy at moscow's biggest port forty one people have been confirmed dead after a plane fire which happened on sunday evening it. there were seventy eight passengers and crew on board the aircraft which was due to fly to more months going to countries far north the jet burst into flames you're going to see landing shortly after takeoff we should warn you the following video you're about to see of the blaze distressing. was. was.

the fifth the fisher the first elected in belgium may yet come up. plus. our correspondent who goes thought of was that same answer for the tragic events unfolded. 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 at that 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 plenty of the injured received medical assistance out 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 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

a 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 all medical services who responded quickly now we've also heard from the official representative of the floor of the company operating this sukhoi superjet who said that the evacuation was done in 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 that 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 one to 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. to the fire broke out after the plane hit the ground when landing when the plane was in the air i saw a white flash it must have been lightning you heard 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 hope for the best. 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 as 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. that. 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. so now i am at the. port and if you just look behind me here is that 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. just 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. normally is a major major area of most school so that's because this right after the tragedy this. 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't take all the planes so some of them as we heard 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 student 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 what we can understand and just trying to determine the cause of the tragedy lattimer putin has been briefed on this and he's demanded 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 sewers superjet one hundred is a short to medium hold passenger airliner the plane involved in this disaster was built in twenty seventeen with capacity for ninety eight passengers is ranges up to four hundred thousand kilometers one hundred eighty six planes of the same model are currently in service with various airlines and we have spoken to several aviation experts who gave us their views on the tragic fire at sheremetyevo airport . fire is always the most critical thing that can happen on board

an airplane in flight it requires any firefighting to believe the airplane has onboard and a very quick return to land at the airport and in this incident it seems that the pilot a remarkable job to get the airplane back to the airport landing on the runway and with apparently no direction for america to control so imagine the situation in the cockpit they're dealing with an onboard fire failure of their communications capability to air traffic control and then try to return and land safely at the airport or at least on the airport premises. that is about the most difficult situation i can imagine for those pilots facing that situation on that flight it could have been a much worse situation if they did not make it back to the airport and crashed in the surrounding neighborhood. it would have been completely teles onboard that

aircraft the good news with landing on on the airport is that they had the full rescue capability of the airport at their disposal to. deal with the on board fire after landing and that they were able to safely evacuated as many hazards as possible through the escape slides in the forward part of the aircraft though as a tremendous benefits everyone on board. the landing is heavy enough that it would have to really be a very very hard landing the landing gear itself to go through the structure the fuel is just above it so seriously it could have a fire that the landing gear it collapse and it was literally riding on the back part of the airplane down the room with fire on an airliner is this really one of the worst possible of this for the crew because they have no way to fight the materials in the. airplane are largely plastic and fabric and they burn readily

even if they're protected in some small way from propagation and so it's an extremely dangerous emergency and requires an immediate return or i will tell you that according to the information again it's very preliminary the pilots had put on what's called a seventy seven hundred one their electronic equipment that's a signal especially if communications are loss that there's an emergency the other thing i noticed looking at the radar was the airplane made a circle first not to approach a city airport but a circle all the way from the airport to lose an altitude the floor it landed that tells me there was at least in the crew's mind a very serious emergency you require him to get on the ground quickly. this is a myriad of situations you can with both engines operating did they have smoke or fire

in onboard the aircraft was there. smoke in the cockpit what was the emergency did they have that that's why it's really so critical to be able to listen to the noises the sounds the voice recordings and all the instrumentation parameters and see those parameters through the flight recorder and the flight voice recorder to see what happened it could be a lot of different things but it's also interesting that apparently they landed on the second approach if there was a fire aboard the aircraft you want to get that airplane on the ground as soon as possible you can't play real air. this is all going to be critical how did they handle that when they trained to handle these types of situations they're going to be the investigated regulatory agencies that are going to be investigating the accident are going to be looking at. not only the structural components of the

aircraft the manufacturer. certification of the aircraft but the training of the pilots. just a recap of what we do know so far forty one people have been confirmed dead after a plane burst into flames shooting out a bunch of sea landing here in moscow on sunday evening a passenger plane operated by aeroflot was you to flood to move them on skin the fall north of russia there are thirty seven confirmed survivors from the flight many are being treated for smoke inhalation injuries investigators have launched a criminal probe into possible safety violations ok be updated on this developing story here on out international and on a website called. israeli airstrikes on the gaza strip have now killed twenty three people that's according to palestinian media and israel says four of its civilians have died following a massive barros of rockets fired from gaza.

the impact of the windows from the explosion took place from outside the previous floor as a result of the explosion. the israeli military also claims a prominent last leader was killed as the result of an air strike is called was reportedly hit by rockets and an attack which also claimed a number of other lives amassed blames the i.d.f. for killing two pregnant women out of taba where the television denies those claims i made of the sudden escalation in violence between the two states here's what

locals from both sides have to say about the flare up. but there was a lot of bombing at the neighborhood work had to do a lot to street scene most indescribably people were afraid in terror fight run in and everyone was looking for their children nobody was able to see others 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 then learn to leave it to those bigger than me to the generals that know the situation to do what they know much you know that we can do is to cross our fingers and that they will succeed and i hope we're not call many more we do trust the army we do hope benjamin netanyahu will take care of it but we are really worried from the rockets. of the bombardment of rockets from the gaza strip began on saturday morning several residential areas were hits mostly in the south of israel multiple sites in palestine was then

targeted retaliate three strikes has more details. his radio strikes continue to bombard gaza the israeli say that they targeting hamas and islamic jihad targets that among the offices that have been hit was the headquarters belonging to the turkish 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 the radio and funds that are donating 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 to some eighty kilometers to the north the municipality has open public bomb shelters and this comes as headmaster 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 seal 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 up their attacks. this morning i instructed the i.d.f. to continue 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 aids on the fourteenth of may with the you are a vision song faced of all where some twenty thousand tourists are expected to of wives in the country the festival will be held here in tel aviv so every very tense situation here on both sides of the border coming as the united nations envoy to the region urges 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 that the past few months before it's too late so analyst rob me of the guardian political analyst mitchell davis 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 laws into a larger scale attack by the israelis and 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 ruston this against the palestinians israel has the most sophisticated army and the world the more sophisticated weaponry pinpoint attacks being carried out by israel 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. an israeli tank shelling against gaza that is ongoing so there is some kind of this proportionate disproportionate. scale there's a proportionate scale of attacks by palestinians and israel is a. reminder for those of you joined us of the tragedy at russia's largest airport one people have been confirmed dead after a plane caught fire on the runway at moscow sheremetyevo there were seventy eight people on board the jet burst into flames you're going to see a landing just half an hour after takeoff warning the footage of the tragedy is the .

looks like to be a yes. the sewer super jet plane operated by a float was you to fly to middle months in the far north of russia soon after takeoff though the crew sent a distress signal the plane returned to the airport and made a hard landing striking the runway several times the fuel tank burst into flames i

mean tire rear section was destroyed there are thirty seven confirmed survivors many if we were being treated for smoke inhalation injuries we're going to keep you updated on this developing story here not international and on our website on the dot com. from the team and myself that's all for this hour join us again at six am oscar time for the latest global headlines. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist

i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. this is a stick for the water bottle found in the stomach of a fish the brand is spawns of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers they're the bad ones they're the litter bugs are throwing us away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. that's. a special projects funded. on the disease. but for now the mountains of waste only grow.

during the grid to pretty much almost remember there was most of my family were unemployed working. there wasn't it was bed much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hope. there isn't today today's america where shade by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduce democracy attack solo do. engineer election manufacture consent and other principles according to. one. option. which we're going to put her. through will switch. to increasing power for to. one of the most influential intellectuals of our time

speaks about the modern civilization the america. telling welcome to worlds apart seventeen years after the united nations has the universal declaration of human rights in many parts of the world it's still a declaration rather than leave reality and that's not only because upholding human rights is hard work for many societies but also because of the hypocrisy and politics associated with the issue to divide between preaching and practicing out

of reach to discuss that i'm now joined by peggy hicks a director at the u.n. human rights office thank you it's good to talk to thank you very much for your time. now you gave a number of interviews and we talked with some alarm about the advent of the post human rights era and before we talk about these new phase let me ask you about the human rights era which supposedly preceded this how would you define it chronologically and how was it different from what we see around us today right well i think i have to clarify and i am not alone. missed about where we're heading on human rights i think what's happened over the course of the seventy year history of the universal declaration is that there's been a global understanding of certain basic rights fundamental rights that all people have and that we've been working together over that period to try to implement them and i think globally we've made enormous progress and i always say that i'm very glad to be a woman today rather than a woman in my mother's generation or my grandmothers and i think my daughter will

will live in a world that's that's probably better off for women's rights than than my generation was so it's that type of progress that we see during the human rights era and yet it was also during the period. wars were launched on false pretexts we sold legalize torture research secret prisons the. dehumanization of average grave i mean all those abuses that were supposedly committed by human rights respect and actuaries abroad rather than at home i wonder human rights is that human rights abuses occur every place and anybody who tries to say there are countries that are rights respecting and others that are not isn't isn't really taking taking account of that reality i'm from the united states myself and in the united states there are all sorts of groups that work on human rights abuse in the united states every day because there's a lot still to be done. in preparation for this interview went through your twitter feed and you quite often repeat people who have a sound with many key in.
