israel reportedly agrees to a truce with palestinian militant group hamas after a week weekend of deadly exchanges which see more than twenty palestinians and four israelis killed in a large scale airstrikes and missile attacks. watching r.t. international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. there maines of all forty one people killed in sunday's plane fire in moscow have now been recovered from the charred wreckage of the air flow aircraft we're not showing you the latest images from the crash site the chairman of the airport the charred wreckage of the aircraft has now been removed from the scene and taken away for further investigation authorities are demanding several lines of inquiry as to what led to the disaster. including pilot error an aircraft

malfunction and poor weather conditions just to remind you during its attempted landing the sukhoi superjet burst into flames after its tail struck the runway only thirty seven of the seventy eight passengers on board survived the tragedy people have been laying flowers and tributes at sherman to the airport and at the airport in more months when the plane was supposed to land some people came simply to pay their respects here's how the tragedy unfolded just warn you you may find some scenes upsetting. the case. when the plane was in the air i saw a white flash a most of the morning. we

certainly had the windows i just turned my head and all of a sudden i saw the bush in the plane with huge plumes of black smoke. to. the city down to. play. with an investigation underway at three main theories are being focused on at this point with all the latest here's my gusta. there's a lot of testimony a lot of witness accounts that are coming out now important not to jump to conclusions but the most reliable source is the captain for example he has. made

comments he said that during the takeoff there was no hint of trouble meaning was nominal was functional not a hint of trouble and all of that changed just after takeoff as they were ascending climbing higher and higher they were struck by lightning. the lightning caused wrecked havoc on the system on the aircraft electronic systems seemingly all of them for example it should circuited the radio communications gear and even the backups didn't work. we had no communication we managed to restore it through the emergency frequency on the second radio station and it was intermittent that is after turning on the transmitter it was only possible to say a few words before losing contact and having to reconnect with dispatches help us they gave us directions to get to the runway that was only a part of it because the lightning strike took down other systems including

navigation including pilot guidance and all of these systems help a pilot land an aircraft especially nowadays when there's so complicated so. difficult to control manually what the pilot was left with was manual control he had to land this aircraft that had almost all of its systems offline and was incredibly heavy because the fuel tanks will fall. ill advised to land an aircraft with the fuel tanks for what generally do is they circle above a city or an airport burning that excess fuel off making the aircraft lighter so it's easier to land for whatever reason they decided that they couldn't do that they couldn't. ford waste time they went for the landing and unfortunately as you see the. tragedy struck the bump the rear of the aircraft bumped against the concrete and the fuel tanks ruptured fuel spilled and poor all over the back

section of the aircraft given the heat here the pressure the speed the friction no surprise that it ignited it ignited and that is when the true horror began because all of these people they thought that they had made it that they had landed and suddenly they were surrounded by an inferno i mean the stewardess spoke about how people were absolutely terrified of what was happening we have heard is passengers expressing gratefulness thanks to the cabin crew to the stewardess colleagues who stayed behind she said she grabbed people by the cuffs of the necks and dragged them out of the aircraft there's another should in the back is it's a very big story in russia he tried to force open a door in the back of the aircraft and he couldn't do it he tried and tried to give up and he started pushing people from the back in order to get them to the front to

hurry them up he unfortunately perished he was very young in all forty one people died in this tragedy thirty seven made it out and out of the seventy eight passengers and crew that were on board but as i say it could have been even worse. i'm grateful to this pilots they've waited to crash land in really city and saved lives perhaps there was pilot error but let's wait for the official findings things could have been so much worse. they're looking at three courses for this the first one is pilot error pilot on the qualification of the pilot perhaps have hadn't had enough training to land this aircraft man. with it being so heavy the other thing that they're looking at is the weather how the weather may have caused this this incident and the last thing is that the aircraft may have malfunction or something may have been wrong with it before it took off something may have

happened. in the air we shouldn't jump to conclusions the investigation is still ongoing speculate it's too early to speculate and guess probably wait for the official findings they've recovered both black boxes and they've also recovered the bodies of all forty one died in this tragedy. investigator david believe first the investigation will pursue a number of avenues as to the cause of the crash before offering any final verdict . the airplane may have been quite difficult to land with all the electrical problems that it has i believe the flight control system was working ok but not in the usual mode of operation so it's quite right that the investigation will take some time to look at how the pilots were trained to land the airplane in particular software mode there have been some recent accidents some of them seem to be the

more level of electronics equipment and the pilot training associated with that i would say that also the media are able to pick up and report the accident much more easily so the accident rate is has gone up slightly recently but not significantly so we haven't gone back tens or twenty years anything like that let's get a little more evidence from the flight recorders in the cockpit voice recorder interviews of the crew and then let the interstate aviation committee discuss with the russian certification committee what should happen to the airplane. here you can see a seating chart of the plane indicating what happened to the occupants inferno mostly affected those sitting towards the rear of the aircraft are a few exceptions only those towards the front and closest of the only usable exits were able to escape.

russia's health minister has visited the school bus off the emergency hospital were several of the crash survivors are receiving treatment r t f l quarter reports. behind me is the hospital where two survivors are being treated in critical condition in another location the pilot copilot and a stewardess are being treated for shock as well as poisoning now in total thirty seven out of seventy eight crew and passengers survived this crash but many with serious psychological as well as physical injuries now russia's health minister says that friends and family should also seek help as many of them are most likely in a state of utter shock was not published like it's that you don't get that so it's not just the victims that need psychological assistance but that relatives too including for example the one from on in critical condition being cad at the ski institute or have them are in a state of shock they can't process what's happened now across social media people have released videos of passengers fleeing the burning jet crewmembers quickly

carried out the evacuation plan and you can see how chaotic the situation was in these videos there were also reports that passengers scrambling for their luggage also contributed to the discord now earlier today we spoke to one man who brought flowers in tribute to the airport although he had no familial ties to the victims of his own as the nothing occurred as well as a mystery that could have happened a new one so how tragic when fate takes an unexpected turn like this is what life is all a matter of luck and can and just like that i would like to have someone drop me flowers or something like this happened to me as for the relatives about fifty of them arrived earlier this morning from water months where the city has declared a three day period of mourning for those who died emergency services met with them at the airport to help them in the painful process of identifying the bodies of those who were lost. in.

russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says he hasn't seen any support around the world for military intervention and venezuela including among u.s. politicians. his words come after a highly anticipated meeting between the russian diplomat and his american counterpart my pump aoe the pair were meeting on the five of an arctic forum in finland as expected venezuela was the main topic for discussion of the possibility of u.s. military action at the focal point for journalists at the press conference following the top of the cross live now to our t.v. for trying to get in finland for us in the out from what we know how lavrov and pump succeeded and reaching any common ground on minutes well. jacqueline hi well indeed the number one diplomats of russia and the u.s. have finally met and as you were saying we were hoping to understand if there is at least a slight chance that moscow and washington can be on the same page when it comes to

venezuela however like pump alehouse and spoken to the media all here in finland yet when. you talk to us about thirty minutes ago he thought it wasn't a good idea to share the details although he did respond to my question about mr pump a statement that russia must get out of venezuela and also about the possibility of the intervention in venezuela volume on call sam. when you start to loose. consent rules and we tried not to concentrate on those statements which are publicly discussed because they have been affected by many factors the don't have anything to do with real politics we concentrated on real politics incentives from my contacts with the us late an american and european colleagues i don't see any

supporters of military action. almost immediately after this i asked the russian foreign minister if that included american diplomats and to that he simply replied yes however the question here is though whether that is really the case because many times we heard from america's most high ranking politicians different kinds of officials that all options are on the table including the military one and we understand especially from what the venezuelan foreign minister is saying that caracas is getting ready for this scenario as well. but oh but it won't get us and we are ready for all scenarios the first includes diplomacy dialogue and peace and if the u.s. prefers the military part we are ready to resist we have an army police or our people and we are ready to destroy any army no matter how powerful it is.

so on the one hand it finally happened the most influential powers behind the majority government in venezuela and also the self-proclaimed president one gw idaho moscow and washington donald trump and vladimir putin have spoken on the phone about the crisis now we just had a conversation between the secretary of state and the russian foreign ministry so possibly something could be brewing here but then at the same time we still understand that the two sides are not on the same page at all in fact we see that their words apart and there's also something important that might pump aoe said when he was on the way to europe on his plane he said that he believes that the de facto president of venezuela as he puts it is no longer capable of being in

charge of his country so i guess it's time to watch this space and we'll see what happens next. bringing us the latest from finland thank you. cost live now to former british diplomat william mountain for more welcome to the program now the talks have wrapped up do you expect lavrov and pumpin to find any common ground. i think that we will see a continuation of this posture diplomatic posture diplomacy. we need as always to look at the origins because because in the world of opinions and no longer opinions people forget the the the fact is behind the whole sherif our first is a monro doctrine where the us undertook two hundred years ago almost that it would not interfere in european countries it's broken that completely second factor we've seen ever since then complete us interference in for most states in south

america third factor we've seen the cuban missile crisis which seems to be coming back the same factors admittedly with new colors we've seen gross interference in chile with murders and everything else we've seen the nicaragua scandal it's the same thing now and the basic thing behind it all are simple interests as our president calvin coolidge said honestly america is business. the biggest oil reserves in the world are in currently in invalid as well so we are seeing a diplomat. a professional diplomat of course a lover of the go shooting and talking to an unprofessional diplomat who has no training in diplomacy at all who is given to making select and in statements which is not not very professional simply to keep the audience boiling a bit. at the same time they're controlling guy got quite clearly

a complete u.s. puppet so the way i see it is that is a bit like a pseudo diplomatic bull in a delicate china shop sewing instability where it can be so to keep people on their toes because the u.s. is hands are to a certain extent time if they do very well that there will be a massive military reaction if they interfere. overtly invent as you well know so the u.s. at the moment is dashing out not behind this is a small hope that is the trump himself personally and putin we will come to some kind of a medium term arrangement. but we also see that there's a huge. opposition to trump within the american deep state so much of this battle before it out within the american establishment. that's what i'm going to save you

time being you have any other questions yes now all of iraq has just said that he doesn't think his counterparts including the us support military intervention in the country to what extent do you think that this is true when the u.s. is constantly repeating that all options are still on the table this is these are empty threats and there are threats of vanity there are threats of of of of of us likely to bear a wounded life. which is the. desire in all directions just to try and keep some conflict intellectually i do not foresee any serious overt military intervention the danger lies in what they did in the other countries by bringing in secret the intervenors if you like let's not forget the bombero for all his bombast was director of the cia and hugh he would be looking at the various destabilization plans for venezuela which are going on now but they

don't seem to be working so i see this tension continuing. but but but as long as. the near zero in particular with russia and china support international law i don't see the possibility of an overt us intervention at all because that would be extremely dangerous for the world stability and cause major problems for the american economy in fact if you look at the economic multiplier effect and other financial factors going on at the moment whereby gold is being bought on the dollar as being turned away from etc etc so i think it's empty rhetoric rhetoric frankly now yesterday when they were having talks with iraq and moscow the venezuelan foreign minister said that caracas is ready to resist if the u.s. chooses a military path if that were to happen what effect could such statements as that have on the overall situation in venezuela. as i said that's simply meant to destabilize people and strikes and journalists and frighten also remember other

countries in south america that are wavering between u.s. policies and their own independence as well it's highly significant the other the audiences in south america as well as remember that the u.s. which is to continue to use for business purposes and historical accuracy purposes monreal got to do use and maintain its supporters in south america we know you know american south america goes a beginning some of them to wake up a little bit and try to pursue a more independent policy former british diplomat william mounts and thank you for your time and your comments. we welcome. israel and palestinian militant group hamas have reached a truce after two days of intense cross border exchanges including bombing raids by the israel defense forces children are among the twenty seven thought to have been

killed in gaza four people were also killed in israel. you can see the impact of the windows from the explosion from outside. that was flung as a result of the. palestinian militants began their missile strikes from the gaza strip on saturday morning residential areas were hit mostly in the south of israel israel's air force targeted multiple sites in gaza in retaliatory strikes are his pulse flare reports

. we have heard an announcement from the israeli army that it is lifting all restrictions for residents of the south of israel who live within a forty kilometer radius of gaza now this does confirm that the truce that was brokered at around four fifteen monday morning is holding up it was brokered by egypt and the united nations press has been the bloodiest weekend of violence on the israeli side it for israelis were killed which is the highest fatality israel has suffered since the last israel gaza war back in two thousand and fourteen but on the palestinian side twenty four palestinians were killed including a pregnant woman and a child the street scene was indescribably people were afraid and terrified and running and everyone was looking for their children nobody was able to see others and after the first rocket hit everyone started screaming children and adults when the building collapsed nobody was able to see one another. big of them.

know the situation to do what they know we can do is to cross our fingers they will succeed 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 now overnight spawn shelters were opened here in tel aviv which is some eighty kilometers from the gaza border after hamas threatened that it would target the city and that's also published in hebrew the coordinates of those sites in israel if planned to attack in these include have been going on international airport and also delano where it's all is believed to house its nuclear arsenal although this of course has never been confirmed by the israeli side late last night the israeli security cabinet wrapped up what the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that the israeli army would keep up its attacks. this morning i instructed the i.d.f. to continue its intense attacks against terror targets in the gaza strip and to expand its presence surrounding the gaza strip with armored forces. troops we are

operating and we will continue to do so to restore peace and security to residents in the south of the country now the next two weeks are very busy on the israeli calendar they include the israeli memorial day the independence day the one year anniversary of america moving its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem not by day which is commemorated by the palestinians and one of the culminating in. a civil vision on the fourteenth of may many israelis i speak to say that they believe the israeli prime minister did not go ahead with a full scale invasion of gaza because he doesn't want to detract from the twenty thousand visitors who are expected to descend on israel for this major show which is a big highlight on the international calendar political analyst michel barrett gave us his take on the latest escalations. both the hamas and islamic jihad are excellent in using human shields of 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 on may fourth the i.d.f. published a tweet blaming hamas for indoctrinating children with militant sentiments although it provoked an angry reaction.

pictures like those if they are in fact accurate or current would represent a very small minority of occurrences in palestine putting these pictures out taking them out of context the way these really army has attempted to do is not surprising only role there are plenty of videos and images showing israeli children being trained to use live fire ammunition by their parents or by their fellow family members serve in the army children who are in the army exhibit sions for the climbing on top of tanks and commenting on what they want to do and what they deem of doing when they serve in the army remember that israeli is at the age of

eighteen must serve in the army so putting this out of context is part of a trend part of an effort to further dehumanizing the palestinians and depict them as less worthy of solidarity and compassion by the international community. that's a news break down for this hour and that's all for me as well today but we know it will be taking over in about thirty minutes thanks for tuning in wherever you may be. in front of the cameras coca-cola c.e.o. promise is a world without waste our objective. god behind the scenes the american company is doing everything in its power to eschew any alternatives to plastic like the return of a bottle i think obviously. after months of negotiations with the american multinational

we have a meeting at the headquarters of coca-cola france for an interview. it's a message so well you know when i did it to see you. welcome. and affection with me to welcome the frugal but it seems we have not yet won that trust. question a good musician has a good mood everything. back up it's the social wrong. the vice president of the company michael mann has travelled from the united states to on so all questions he has worked for twenty one ms he's in charge of global policy and environmental sustainability and he's a french speaker. and they'll say it was that.
