the remains of all fourteen people killed after a russian plane burst into flames during an emergency landing in moscow have now been recovered from the crash site twelve year old girl and a flight attendant he died helping passengers to skate the inferno were among the victims best to gauge as a country looking at three possible causes of the tragedy pilot error system malfunction and whether. we focused on real politics russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov holds talks with the u.s. secretary of state. saying he's found no support for any military intervention in

venezuela including among american officials. and israel reportedly agrees to a truce with palestinian militant group hamas following a weekend of deadly exchanges see more than twenty palestinians and four israelis killed in large scale and strikes a missile and it's. good to have you with us this evening this is all teens and. the remains of forty one people killed in sunday's plane fire in moscow have now been recovered from the charred wreckage of the craft these are latest images from the crash site that your metaphor appled the wreckage of the aircraft is now. been removed from the scene
4:02 pm
and taken away for further investigation 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 people on board survived the tragedy people have been laying flowers and tributes sheremetyevo airport which is since returned to a full flight. and more months care port where the plane was flying to candles have been lit to honor the victims with some people coming simply to pay their respects . here's how the tragedy unfold it just to warn you you may find some of these things coming up the stuff. at the door when the plane was in the air i saw a white flash they must have been lightning.
4:03 pm
we certainly had the windows i just turned my head and all of a sudden i saw the burning plane with huge plumes of black smoke. and. the like if out the yes. i. could do was to just use it i never thought this could happen to normal children my heart is just breaking from this terrible tragedy has the business of george and usually it's very hard to manage it we couldn't even imagine a tragedy like this would come to ask city. children died people probably just
4:04 pm
coming back from a going to do some operations if in fact they've come back in coffins is just around us it's so difficult to even think about can dispute we're not slipping we were worried. together with more men square in mourning take care of each other people. but an investigation under way three main theories are being focused on pilot error the system is miles. function about weather with the latest is my guess here. there's a lot of testimony a lot of witness accounts that are coming out now important not to jump to conclusions but the movie reliable sources the captain for example he has. made comments he said that during the takeoff there was no hint of trouble reading was nominal and then was functional not a hint of trouble and all of that changed just after takeoff as they were sending
4:05 pm
climbing higher and higher they were struck by lightning. the lightning caused wrecked havoc on the system on the aircraft's 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 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 helped 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.
4:06 pm
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 a fuel tank for what aircraft 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 afford to 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 or not is when the true horror began because
4:07 pm
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 a 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 by and 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.
4:08 pm
i'm grateful to this pilots they waited to crash land in this 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 causes for this the first one is pilot error pilot and the qualification of the pilot perhaps have had an. had enough training to land this aircraft manually 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 and 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 to guess probably wait for the
4:09 pm
official findings they've recovered both black boxes and they've also recovered the bodies of all forty one died in this tragedy the jet spinning commercial service since two thousand and eleven more than one hundred eighty planes have been built so far each of them capable of carrying up to almost one hundred passengers it's the first passenger plane to be built in modern russia the plane systems are isolated from lightning strikes. aside from sunday's crash in moscow there have been three other safety incidents involving the superjet in two thousand and twelve during a demonstration flight internees or superjet crashed another case and it killed all forty five people on board two of the cases involved wheels mechanism failure and a runway overshooting with numbers of crew members injured the plane that burst into flames was in use since two thousand and seventeen and had no registered troubles before that but aviation safety investigators david gletty says the number of avenues as to the cause of the crash will be assessed prior to any final verdict
4:10 pm
. 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 that particular software mode there have been some recent accidents some of them seem to be the modern level of electronics and equipment and the pilot training associated with that i would say that also the media are able to pick up and report the accidents much more easily so the accident rate is has gone up slightly recently but not significantly so we haven't gone back ten to 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 ok let's

russia's health minister has visited the skiff a self ski emergency hospital that's where several of the crust survivors are being treated well the stone cold has more. 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
4:13 pm
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 for gifts they 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 cads 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 crew members 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 murder of one of them used to it could have happened a new one so how tragic when fate takes an unexpected turn like this life is all
4:14 pm
a matter of luck and can and just like that i would like to have someone brought me flowers of 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. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says that he hasn't seen any supports around the world for biliteral intervention in venezuela including among u.s. politicians his words came after a highly anticipated meeting between the russian diplomat and his u.s. counterpart might bump a the pair were meeting on the sidelines for in finland as expected venezuela was the main topic of discussion with the possibility of u.s.
4:15 pm
military action the whole topic the journalists following the tools to trying to reports. the number one diplomats of america and russia have finally met and we were hoping to understand if there is at least a slight chance that moscow and washington could be on the same page when it comes to venice well of well like. didn't speak to journalists at all after this here in finland but one surrogate talked to the media he thought it wasn't a good idea to shed light on any of the details pretty much but he did respond to my question about mike barrows statement from this weekend that russia must get out of venezuela and also about the possibility of cole said intervening militarily things that are loose. we tried not to concentrate on those
4:16 pm
statements which are publicly discussed because they are being affected by many factors the don't have anything to do with real politics concentrators and real politics incentives from my contacts with the u.s. late an american and european colleagues i don't see any support this move to reaction immediately after this i asked the russian foreign minister if that included american diplomats and that is simply answered yes but the real question right now is though whether that is really. the case because many times we've heard from the most high ranking officials in america the phrase all options are on the table including the military one and when secretary of state pump ale was heading to europe the journalists were reporting that on the plane he said that nicolas maduro can no longer be in charge of this country he believes he is
4:17 pm
simply not able to do that even though he is de facto the leader of the country and i can tell you that the government in venezuela understands that they could end up having to brace for the worst case scenario just listen to what their foreign minister said when he was in the russian capital on sunday missile to open it but oh but what good is it we are ready for scenarios the first includes diplomacy dialogue and peace and if the u.s. prefers the military path we are ready to resist we have an army police our people and we are ready to destroy any army no matter how powerful it is so essentially the most influential powers on the opposite sides here the government of any cost doro and the self-proclaimed president one why do are finally in touch on this president donald trump has spoken to president fly out of our pollutant the top diplomats have met but it is unclear whether that would still lead to
4:18 pm
a peaceful resolution of this longstanding venezuelan crisis. the truce has been reached between israel and militants in palestine if the two days of cross border exchanges will bring you the full story after this short break. when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the remain close to protect themselves. in the final. the one percent. nor middle of the room six. is.

killed in gaza four people died in israel. you can see the impact of the windows from the explosion took place from outside the freedom as far as a result of the explosion. palestinian militants began their missile strikes from the gaza strip on saturday morning presidential areas were hit mostly in the south of israel israel's air force targeted multiple sites in gaza in the tell it to strikes on these pulis leader has more. we have heard an announcement from the israeli army that it is lifting all
4:21 pm
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 places 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 in the street scene was indescribable 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 in the building collapsed nobody was able to see one another. so those big. no the situation to do what they know we can do is to cross our fingers and they
4:22 pm
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 on 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
4:23 pm
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 nakba day which is commemorated by the palestinians and all of this culminating in the largest sung festival year of 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. journalists rami on the guardian political analyst mitchell barak gave conflicting views on the latest escalation between israel and gaza. these are either response is always disproportionate. palestinian rocket. attacks on the palestinians are very destructive and.
4:24 pm
for the population. being reduced to rubble people in the streets are being hit well while they are on motorcycles. because even on the ground in the fields including mothers and their toddlers 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 ok thanks for staying with us here this evening on tonight's love dates at the top of the hour.
4:25 pm
what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so if you want to be president i'm sure. someone wanted us. to do i would be pressed to supply them before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. i said. during the great depression which old mr a member there was and most of my family were unemployed working class and it wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation of the things we're going to get better. of there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the
4:26 pm
turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy at tax. engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no i'm chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite. that's what happens when you put her into the hands of a narrow sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for itself just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. in a world of big partisan movies a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up. to dig deeper to hit the
4:27 pm
stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the authorities eat one. lead .

our film begins in hawaii in the middle of the pacific ocean in spite of the island's remote location it is also foreman take them to the epidemic of the twenty first century plastic. plastic pollution is littering beaches and endangering certain species of animals no matter how remote or out of reach. in this part tree in the north of the occupied ago scientists study marine animals not plastic at least in theory.
4:29 pm
no idea what that is. but it's certainly plastic. jessica perelman is a biologist accustomed to finding plastic in fish stomachs she has started a very unique connection. casually often plastic bags. and this was all coiled up in the stomach when i found it had no idea what it wasn't all that it just. or did you react in this installment i was shocked i started you know documenting it measuring it taking photos showing whoever else was around in the lab and we were kind of. we were just you know shock to think that these fish are are really ingesting this i mean. to her disbelief the scientist has found plastic in an unlikely specimen known as the long fish.
4:30 pm
the young researcher was not expecting such a surprising discovery when she began her work on this piece is. fish live at a depth of about two hundred to four hundred meters and they're clearly you know coming in contact with plastic and it appears that plastic is is truly a deeper problem that we might have financial. even swimming at these depths the long said fish manages to swallow trivial plastic objects and i mean occasionally you might find a brand name such as this dishonored bottle label and what is this so this is a label from a water bottle dishonored bottle clearly and found amongst the lancet fish stomach . this is a. design design is a pretty well known. bottled water company.
