headline news twenty four seventh's national money. newsroom first. meeting face to face the u.s. secretary of state could be set for talks with russian president putin that's according to the kremlin spokesman who says it could happen in the next few weeks but he has more on a possible step forward in u.s. russia relations. i meeting between the russian president and the u.s. secretary of state to mike pompeo may happen as early as this month in may washington's top diplomat plans to meet with the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and the resort city of saatchi and now the kremlin says a parallel meeting with the president could take place there too now this will be pump ailsa first visit to russia as the us secretary of state lavrov did however just to meet with him at the arctic summit in finland sound that the meeting showed that the two countries are still struggling to find common ground on

a range of issues not only on van as well but the use of the arctic as well concerned about russia's claim over the international waters of the northern sea route including its newly announced plans to connect it with china's maritime so gross. in the northern sea route moscow already illegally demands other nations request permission to pass the u.s. secretary of state also added that partly in response to russia's so-called destabilizing activities they are hosting military exercises and rebuilding their eyes braker fleet now moscow believes that there are no grounds for any conflicts and the arctic region and also adds that it remains open for international cooperation. the root is a russian national transport on story we is a coastal state acting in full compliance with international law all responsible for the safe operation over this route just as canadians are responsible for the

functioning of the northwest passage. and the past several months diplomacy seems to still prevail in the relations between the two countries both sides were seen in contact more often than usual with the u.s. and the russian president recent telephone conversation that lasted over an hour an example of that so it does seem that the timing for the u.s. secretary of state to visit at least follows this new trend as moscow and washington continue to be at loggerheads over a number of global issues we heard from the director of the oxford crisis research institute to told us that the united states doesn't actually stand to benefit that much from the controversy over the arctic route. i find it difficult to see why my point has made such a big issue of this octave group question because it seems to me that potentially creates more trouble than it benefits the united states after all it's unlikely

that it's going to change either the climate changes which make this route open more likely to be open and also the chinese russian policy it could be a bargaining chip or it could be that the americans are saying let's throw down a gauntlet in fact we're not really so concerned so that we can say to the russians and by extension the chinese if you can see if we can see this to you you should give us some help somewhere else in a different part of the world well it's not only the arctic region that's broadly together for talks the top diplomats of been going over the situation in venezuela as well and a possible u.s. military intervention in particular but it seems it's more the american media than the u.s. government that the intervention to be an option on the table a new reports claim that leading us media have demonstrated clear bias in their coverage of the crisis in venezuela here's a look at the findings of the media watchdog of fairness and accuracy in reporting . and al.

what would make you use the u.s. military and itself what's in it well i think you're saying that but certainly it's something that's it's an option and the national assembly has determined that the election of president was or missouri was illegitimate there needs to be

a new to the 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 don't say what it is you can a lie about just from the media point of view don't you think one of the first question anybody should ask is by what authority do you establish or does mr why 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 so

dare i say willing to support the position of the tribe of ministration regarding them in your own administration be. removeable so where is the balance well we've asked a number of us media outlets for their reaction to the watchdogs findings on the allegations of bias if we hear anything back we'll let you know what they say. next the most powerful official has been named the european leader of the year by international news channel euro news that the european business summit now is perhaps not the most anticipated awards ceremony on the calendar but that hasn't stopped mr younger from enjoying his moment as peter rather than our reports well in picking up his awards at the bash in brussels the president of the european commission was full of jokes he was very happy to receive the water of course but that it had come so late in his career that it was almost at the point of autopsy he also went on to praise the work that the european commission had been doing

under his leadership of course saying that the fact you've been given this award meant they've clearly done a good job booked not everybody was pleased to see received this gong the exit newspaper in the united kingdom the sun well they poked lights at the so ward and also the rumor that mr young is partial to a brandy or two also the british m.p. kevin holland araik describes it as an april fool's joke but he's never been a shrinking violets and he's certainly provided us with plenty of entertainment through the years especially while he's been in charge of the european commission.

young cool step down as european commission president on november first there's a lot to go on between now and then he certainly ruffled a fair few feathers on the breaks it supporting side of the divide in the united kingdom during breaks that negotiations on tuesday he got a little bit further saying that he deeply regretted that himself in the european union hadn't gotten more involved in the break that referendum campaign back in two thousand and sixteen then prime minister asked me not to interfere in the referendum campaign it was a mistake not to intervene and not to interfere because we would have been the only

ones to destroy the lies that were circulated around i was wrong to be silent as an important moment those comments of course i'm sure will go down really well with those breaks that supporting any peace that are going to be standing in european elections they never thought they were going to have to take part in in just a few weeks time at the end of the month. u.s. president threatened to ratchet up tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of imports from china the latest escalation in the trade war between the world's leading economic powers comes ahead of high level talks between washington and beijing which are aimed at ending the conflict with more on the story and donald trump's high risk negotiating tack. he's kind of open. were over two years into the presidency of the great deal maker mr era 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 palm peo 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 asked four hundred missiles we've also made it clear to turkey that we have very serious concerns with that stated plans to proceed with the acquisition of the russian s four hundred

missile defense system trumpets 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 u.n. and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the u.n. 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. i did 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 severs altered 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 we. need to have.

a move from. what you've been made well you know to. grow. there would be a market in maybe of trying to be. the aid group would be trying to train well who. who. you're watching on the international rushes a morning after a deadly plane crash which killed forty one on board over the weekend a wide ranging investigation is underway and we'll tell you what we know after the break. this is a period of sort of the whole schedule it's just pushed right if. you will. believe that it was and i go to the. losing is its appeal to all of the good of. the solicitor good it would bring on the none of us that is

a liberal still or was that mean that you all know paul. enough well it was pretty good way to lose a room but you still don't which because i would only done one but i come. here do you really mean you're learning you know did you storm the lead here so i'm i look down from moods sure because you're doing the clue that you're coconspirators. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race on all sides spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

a lot again russia is in mourning for the deaths of forty one people who lost their lives after an aeroflot flight crash landed in moscow on sunday national carriers a sony superjet got into difficulty shortly after taking off and was forced to return to share a match of apple the plane hit the runway hard to burst into flames as it bounced along the tarmac and was quickly consumed by the fire many of those who died were from the mounds the northwestern russian city where the flight was bound. to she was very much really. it's a very nice feature shift is the issue for me to eat you wish to. use if still. if you produce to bring your spirit to. the rules to come thank you for the shoot it. put you through something to give to each

it was much. too much to. choose from. this implemented this law and order. some of the survivors have now returned to the man's to be with their families and they've been recounting the harrowing details of the crash and recalling the bravery of the crew in particular a flight attendant maxime moisey have has been hailed a hero he died trying to open the rear exit door and from a vacuum eight passengers trapped at the back of the plane. to visit the site of the. damage that i do like dream which began in our school would blasted up until that day.

at the end and them was a very slow simple and goal oriented person it was always ready to take it see that's exactly what it showed on that day. wonderful. he was expected to be at the front of the plane but he switched places with the stewardess perhaps he expected something bad would happen he took the heat himself. just stayed inside the aircraft and pushed the surviving p. . bull along the way to go round he was inhaling smoke and then lost consciousness . to look at his face he always smiled always he wanted conflict he was the kindest person he

was looking out for the photo but he can't say a word and i constantly looking at him. he was a dolphin i recounts the stories of some of the other people who lost their lives on sunday. this is. 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 somewhere in the same boarding queue with old beena you've given me and twelve year old sophia the surgeon had been giving his daughter and 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 guinea sophia and all other passengers on board the flight attendant was getting ready for yet another takeoff 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 when small three

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 and apparent liking 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 why but the most likely theory so far is the didn't want to risk circling around a bus. aerial hub with only sporadic contact with the ground so weighty the 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 the passengers helpless. the jet finally comes to a stop and the evacuation kicks off by that moment to 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 out she literally shoves out of the door herself i'm alive only thanks 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 tiana helped a total of thirty seven people survive the mayhem. you've gainey and so fear were not among them. the right to be our. 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 to a nice alina in a school shooting last year and now it's her husband and daughter and patty i know 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 into it by the forty one she couldn't help. one of the forty one who lost their lives on sunday was american citizen jeremy brooks said to be he was trying to pursue his dream of fishing after deciding to move to mount to work friends describe brooks who had never traveled outside of the united states before has a good soul who would have tried to help his fellow passengers to safety. we have this theory just from knowing him he was such a sweet so we kind of in our minds believe that he might have tried to help people well also on board the jets was russian alexander the rocket he too was also heading to my manz because of his passion for fishing he leaves behind two children

in moscow was seated near the back of the plane and failed to escape but his friend despite sitting in the same row did something hospital officials say has been hugely traumatic for him. one of the patients lost his friend there would go in an official trip this has been ruled traumatic for him it's hanging over him this very anxious his friend was at the tail of the plane and didn't manage to escape. the plane's flight data and cockpit voice recorders have been recovered in a far reaching investigation is now underway the wreckage of the plane has also been removed for forensic examination. and that's all from us for now thanks for watching the next update from me in the moscow news team follows watching the hawks .

survival let's take you to the start. repatriations to look at the rest the seventy or so. philip except the skies are for. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be us. that's why the press has allowed the full story of the boy can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. i said.

during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was and most of my family were unemployed. and it wasn't it was bed you know much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the ten principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduce democracy at tax so loadout engineer elections manufacture consent and other prince holds according to no i'm chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules for . that's what happens when you put her into the hands of a narrow sector of wilf which 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. readings and sally you take. its may walk watchers and all that spring has sprung here in the united states of america allergy season is. as in full gear. a chew those are terrible at you and well for most of us that means a little sneezing some watery eyes maybe even the chinos or two but for the boys on team trum spring allergy season brings a sudden onset of well trigger fingers because this weekend we saw both u.s. national security adviser john bolton and u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe put their allergy to peace and common sense on display as they bang the drums for war with both iran and venezuela mr bolton

declared to reporters on sunday evening that the u.s. is deploying the u.s.s. abraham lincoln carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the middle east in order to quote send a clear and unmistakable message to the iranian regime that any attack on united states interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force. under relenting force you say as opposed to golly gee whiz relenting force we normally reserved for helping allies meanwhile over in the state department could be a was rattling the saber over venezuela's refusal to allow the united states to decide its leader when asked about his recent visit to the pentagon on friday pump a zero told a.b.c. news chief white house correspondent jonathan karl that he was there to quote make sure that the president has a full scale set of options diplomatic options political options options with our allies and then ultimately a set of options that would involve the use of the u.s.

military were preparing those for him so that when the situation arises we're not flatfooted. when he says not if that's an interesting choice of words there mike but is there any weight behind these w w we stop political promos for war or is this nothing more than sunday talk show bravado by the resident chicken hawks of capitol hill let's find out as we start watching the hawks. the. real that this would be. as it were to pull out of. the day like you that i got. with. this. well going to watch the harks i am tired robot and i'm tap until. i get scared

when behind me and i make. bold and come sneaking up behind you and pointing out is rather unnerving i mean i'm just sick of seeing him quite frankly like he's ben in the political process here for too long and he's accomplished very little aside from making themselves look really terrible and out of touch one of the things i think has to be said about bolton and this whole thing and we've watched you know we watch c.n.n. and i must have big c. and fox news and everybody just obsessed over the us like are we going to war with iran all these things here's was interesting so we have foreign policy analysts and international observers who have correctly pointed out something a little bit interesting about this whole were sending strike force says the lincoln strike group's deployment to a rand was already announced the like.
