just bluffing russia's foreign minister says he doesn't believe that there's any real appetite in the u.s. for a military intervention in venezuela and. european commission president plays concerns that you're a skeptic parties set to make him president again in the blocks upcoming elections . russia mourns the victims of sunday's plane crash in moscow which killed forty one including a twelve year old girl. good

morning it's tuesday the seventh of may live from moscow kevin with the head out international this hour with your world news round up starting with this russia's foreign minister has said that he doesn't believe there's any real support for u.s. military intervention in crisis stricken venezuela even among top officials of washington. made the comments following talks with his american counterpart pompei on the sidelines of the arctic forum in finland his goal. 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 off when. you talk 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 poem barrow's statement from this weekend that russia must

get out of venezuela and also about the possibility of cool sam intervening militarily when his father loose. comes into the saloon we tried not to concentrate on those statements which are publicly discussed because they are being affected by many factors the don't have anything to do was real politics we concentrated on the real politics incentives from my contacts with the u.s. american and european colleagues i don't see any suppose this move to reaction immediately after this i asked the russian foreign minister if that included american diplomats and to that he 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 air 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 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 are. would 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 no sort o. put it out but i quote get us and we are ready for all scenarios the first includes diplomacy dialogue and peace and i think if the u.s. prefers the military part we are ready to resist to have an army police where our people and we are ready to destroy any army no matter how powerful it s. so essentially the most influential powers on the opposite sides here the government at any cost the door and the self-proclaimed president one quite go are

finally in touch on this president donald trump how spoken to president vladimir putin's the top diplomats have met but it is unclear whether that would still lead to a peaceful resolution of this longstanding venezuelan crisis if you're trying to report it have for us from a british diplomat we're mallison told us he also doesn't believe the united states will make good on his threats. these are empty threats and there are threats all vanity that threats of looks like the wounded bear wounded line but as long as. there's oil in particular with russia and china support international law i don't see the possibility of an overt u.s. intervention at all because that would be extremely dangerous for the world stability and cause major problems all 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 and the dollar is being turned away from except the exception so i think it's empty rhetoric rhetoric frankly. meantime seems many leading us media outlets have been one sided in the coverage of the crisis of it as well and that's according to a watchdog that's released a new report. what

would make you lose the u.s. military and it still doesn't know who i think or say that but certainly it's something that's. in the national assembly has determined that the election of president reserved girl was illegitimate there needs to be a new government. why so allergic to the word coup if you look at the definition because they recognize that these words have a meaning long as you say what it is you can lie about

just from a media point of view don't you think one of the first question anybody should ask is by what authority do you establish for this mr white those say i have the ability to supplant this person thank you. ask no question i find it fascinating. that the media not known for being poor. is salo dare i say willing to support the position of the tribe of ministration regarding the mid your own administration being removeable so where is the balance. well can tell we asked a number of us media outlets for their opinions on the vote as well or coverage when they get back to us we'll let you know what they say. but it had notes of some votes coming up with europe's parliamentary election less than three weeks away polls show the euro skeptic parties of poised to make a president gains the findings of causing a great deal of concern and among traditional political forces but the e.u.'s chief

has tried to allay those fears suggesting that regardless of the result not much is going to change the bloc shiela do but he's got the story. the loan bells are sounding in brussels across the european union poll after poll showing voters are looking for change and that change isn't music to the east is euro skeptic parties are intent on shaking up the house here in france a recent poll shows marine le pen's national rally could top the ballots edging slightly ahead of president phones the public on march in italy the two euro skeptic governing coalition parties also set to repeal ward's boat and to the north the alternative for germany party believes it's about to build on pass excess it's also taking a stand so germany speak to a membership of the book demanding reform so saying it will campaign to leave the union the real pen since the revolution is underway. in this case is loose

economic social demographic and identity based disasters are projects constitutes a revolution is peaceful democratic revolution. of commonsense established god isn't likely to go without a fight but it senses a change in the. standing united makes a strong forward to now country. to change to push forward the european project without giving any ground to those who want to see it fall back in this year. we must defend against nationalists and the self-centered this is our. anyone taking from the e.u. parliament has only limited powers it doesn't even propose the laws that it so it's actually the unelected european commission that comes up with those laws which are then flushed out by a different structure the european council along with the european parliament so

despite the polls showing the euro skeptic incumbents are about to shake up the e.u. parliament it seems it won't be. many sleepless nights nobody knows this but last time i rejected the can a deceased of six commissioners presented to me by national governments do remember that governments merely propose commissioners it is the president of the commission who accepts them and allocates their responsibilities what the parliament does have its ability for though is amongst other things resolutions and there are hundreds if not thousands of them for example expected recently to place in the new why didn't paul go on sales to saudi arabia because of the concern that they are being used in the war in yemen but this vote doesn't actually compel member states to keep the balance and in fact most powerful some point to a lack of teeth from parliament as being the reason they don't even bother to vote in its elections and in twenty fourteen voter turnout hit

a record low of forty three percent perhaps so the real question is does it matter who you vote for because in reality even a seismic shake up at any peace level won't have any impact on the commission nor the council where it seems the power base weenie. altie paris real engine of the e.u. . was in the conversation this is either the end of the e.u. policy the e.u. integration. e.u. policy on for another three years and. certainly. it's one of the most undemocratic situations these people. basically comparable to with you citizens that's why it's wrong in france from the eve of the citizen this is to disconnect the

rest of us don't feel part of the debate. russia could. used to mourn sunday's devastating plane crash that claimed the lives of forty one people that was heading from moscow to the north for sensitive motor mounts but was forced to turn back just after takeoff it caught fire as it hit the runway more than half of the victims were from the most courageous. most. this is. the. good of. you. if you're in usually two ships those which you currently doing if you wish to. use it. if you go to those three removes it's. the rules to come but you can

easily it. isn't and if you teach your kids. some of the survivors of the crush of return to moments to be with their families in the wake of the tragedy it goes down off as the stories of some of those who lost their lives in the disaster. this is i'll be now a businesswoman and single mother she was returning from a business trip back two more months back to her ten year old son she was raising on her own he plays hockey and she was his biggest fan the flight was meant to be fun to be you know was traveling with a friend now somewhere in the same boarding queue will be in a huge gagne and twelve year old sofia the surgeon had been giving his daughter an escape from their gloomy northern home town to enjoy a few days in the warmth of the moscow sun now they tiana welcomed beano you've given the sophie and all other passengers on board the flight attendant was getting

ready for yet another take off now three minutes past six in the evening. the aircraft lifted into the skies from sheremetyevo airport a few minutes later than the first seventeen minutes of the flight went smoothly passengers in this seats belts fastened the sukhoi superjet ascended approaching a storm and then everything went from ok to bad and then straight to hell literally in a flash to call from the ball to widening the plane an apparent lightning strike hits the jet now more than aircraft have safety systems to protect themselves from situations exactly like these but this time the lightning sends all communications systems on board of line the pilots send a distress signal make a u. turn and head back to moscow apparently they go in almost blind with limited

communications they can barely get any aid from the ground they aim for an emergency landing on one of the runways but the aircraft is too heavy minutes ago we've had been filled to the brim and the pilots decided not to dump access fuel there's no definitive answer to why but the most likely theory so far is the didn't want to risk circling around a bustling aerial hub with only sporadic contact with the ground so weighty jets wheels slam into the runway and bounce right off it another attempt and the plane crash lands its tail hits the tarmac with such force it ruptures the tanks and all that fuel instantly catches fire and as the blazing jet slides along the runway passengers helpless trapped they sit and just watch the inferno

engulf them. the jet finally comes to a stop and the evacuation kicks off by that moment the fire had already devoured the back and the middle emergency exits so there's only one way forward from the nose of the jet but tiana the flight attendant helps people through and down the chutes those who can walk those who can't and stout she literally shoves out of the door herself i'm alive only thinks to the stewardesses the girls stood there in the smoke it was dark extremely hot but they pulled people out and helped them get down the chutes now by ti-anna helped a total of thirty seven people survive the mayhem. you've gainey

and sophia were not among them for all being his ten year old son in the stands at the old curing will be deafening lee quiet for a long time his mother will never achieve here for him from them again the tragedy off and him senior once a happy wife and mother in an instant is widowed and left childless for her tragedy has come calling again she had already lost a nice alina in a school shooting last year and now it's her husband and daughter and tatiana the unconditional hero she may have survived herself but she's still to make it through the day after day after day of survivor's guilt or entered by the forty one she couldn't help forty one people with their own lives hopes and dreams forty one perished saul's no one can bring back to their loved ones anymore.

plane's black boxes have been recovered deliver situations a crash is ongoing the entire as we heard we're section of the jet was destroyed in the fire most of those sitting in the tail section were not able to make it to say . a bit about the plane itself the suhas superjet spring commercial service since twenty eleven more than a hundred fifty of these planes have been built so far with the one hundred thirty s. it's one of the first passenger planes to be built in modern day russia or it's able to carry almost one hundred passengers aside from sunday's crash there have been three other instance involving a superjet to this briefly remind ourselves of that in twenty twelve during a demonstration very publicly in indonesia a sea project crashed killing all forty five on board it was on the sales pitch at that time two other cases involved a wheel mechanism failure and overshooting the runway with several crew being injured to play the person the flames on sunday had been in service since just twenty seventeen it had no reports of previous trouble apparently it had received

regular maintenance just last month we got the thoughts of david gleave on what may have gone wrong here. 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 multi level. 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 have a ten dollar twenty as anything 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. so it's

international coming out donald trump's fought off another vote china setting the stage for a further trade war escalation just one of the stories that. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to signal from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people. why not if you think.

i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to do it . by the way ways of the flying here. he was president to ratchet up tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of imports from china the latest escalation of the trade war between the world's leading economic powers comes ahead of a week of high level talks on between washington and beijing aimed at ending the conflict with more of the story and donald trump's high risk negotiating tactics kaleb open. we're over two years into the presidency of the great deal maker mr air

fired himself donald trump and it seems he is operating with the my way or the highway strategy these are his latest comments on china the trade deal with china continues but too slowly as they attempt to renegotiate no trump is threatening a new tariff on over three hundred twenty five billion dollars worth of chinese goods now this all or nothing strategy seems to be a staple of the trumpet ministration at this point we've got mike pompei o saying that no country will be allowed to import iranian oil any nation or entity interacting with iran should use its diligence and err on the side of caution the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits if you don't abide by this they'll be sanctions trump has demanded that russia stop supporting the elected government of venezuela with. the russians but no right to get out.

i want you next question the u.s. state department has demanded that turkey not by any russian ass four hundred missiles we've also made it clear to turkey that we have very serious concerns with its stated plans to proceed with the acquisition of the russian s four hundred missile defense system trespass threaten the palestinian authority that money is on the table that money's not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace this will make a difference on how americans look at the un and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the us and this vote will be remembered this all seems to fit a strategy that trump laid out in his bestseller the art of the deal the worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it that makes the other guy smell blood and then you're dead no one can say the united states reeks of desperation. however all of this doesn't seem to be resulting in better deals but rather no deals all the

bombastic walk away isn't a rip up several salted in no progress trump says my way or the highway and people around the world generally take the highway countries around the world are still buying iranian oil russia is still supporting venezuela at this point turkey says it still intends to buy s. four hundred missiles from russia and furthermore at the palestinians are sticking to the same firm position that they held before and while he's failing to make new deals trump seems to be breaking a lot of the old ones the united states will therefore suspend its obligations under the i.m.f. treaty the united states will withdraw. from the paris. climate of court. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal yeah the tough guy stuff might have worked pretty well when trump was selling real estate on madison avenue but is it going to work in

geopolitics let's see what china does next. to me one. time that we. meet with. and so i moved from. multiple. ability to deal with human made work you'd have to. grow bhopal a paper there would be at a market in may of trying to be. the age group would be trying to train well who. could. facebook's provoked another storm of controversy this time by banning an australian breast cancer campaign that he claims was violating its nudity rooms.

we had featured topless survivors of breast cancer covering themselves with small cakes the campaign was launched by the breast cancer network a stroller together with the bakers delight chain last year it raised more than half a million dollars because to see the c.e.o. of breasts comes in that were destroyed so that facebook could previously approve the ads but then later said they violated its policy we were so disappointed to hear that facebook had found that out very brave women and men who all had breast cancer we're told that they were probably too real into confronting to be i would have paid on facebook particularly in that forty plus age group use facebook to tell their friends and family of things that are important to them so facebook has many what didn't we have playing trying to get in contact with facebook and still we have only heard through the made here in fact here in australia that they sent

to us we needed to add educational messages this was very new news to us the only thing that we knew is that all the ads were allowed to happen but then again the day that we launched facebook said these ads were no longer permissible well a spokesperson for facebook australia has said that was she post we love the idea they didn't follow the platforms guidelines the policy does allow for the posting of posts must ectomy photos for ordinary users she said but for advertisers rules restricted it so twitter users have been reacting to the move. violated the plans for you to policy facebook seriously but this is ok. this is not to rude to facebook naked garden indeed takes precedence over a fundraiser for cancer survivors and sufferers. strange the true agenda of the facebook mission statement so when a group used the facebook forum for a good cause they jump and it's been shifted down we spoke to human rights attorney

jennifer british thinks the need to avoid selectively enforcing its rules facebook right now say that it has a consistent policy if you just look at the language of its policy but it is not consistent and how it in forces its policy is targeting in campaigns like this with breast cancer research or awareness but it's also targeting different political groups and certain things so it needs to look at how it targets so that it chooses to enforce its ban under because there are many people who have far more explicit as that are not banned we're seeing that america has a silence prominent conservative voices were seen that is they silence other things other ads and they target these people they target those that they want to silence that differ with them politically or socioeconomically and that is not ok we need to have consistency and we need to have platforms that allow the freedom of speech to come out rather than silencing the freedom of speech and using it under the guise of violating policies. leave it out for the so i think looking so far this

choose the morning from moscow one is kevin oh and thanks for watching r.t. international have a great day. seriously folks go through a period of sort of full salute if you push bloody. good you might be a well the money would be needed it was my job to. lose them is its appeal of. all of the good of that all you want the solicitor got it would put me on the management of that it's a little bit silly was that feeling almost all. went up well it was pretty but growing closer to coverage is there too much can go of it only done long ago but

i come. here to move your money to your own good you have stormed the lead here so my look down from mood subversion i did in the clue trick of crafters some are going to. resist is a sticker from the local water bottle found in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers they're in 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. until she. gets to cookouts losing six. pounds in may last that seems cool sets for some new classes chris takes a costly on my end i need to stay on you don't lose that session projects.
