are going to be out there yes. my. plane took off just after 6 pm local time and was heading for the city of more months in northwest russia just under 20 minutes later the pilots alerted air traffic control they were turning to share mehta witnesses later said the aircraft had been struck by lightning at half past 6 it means emergency landing but hit the runway hard bursting into flames as a bounce along the tarmac it was quickly consumed by the fire which claimed the lives of dozens of people trapped inside the plane 78 people were on board at the

time of the crash more than half of the victims were from the more months region here are some of their stories. to she was very much to. be very nice atrocious to those who choose to forgive you if you wish to go to the skidoos feast. if you produce the really experts you.

must. choose. this is the end of. the rules to come thank you for the usually is. what you seem to give to each of us a. flight attendant likes him i say of was one of those who perished he's been

hailed a hero after trying to open the rear exit door to let passengers escape before driving them towards the front exit our video agency roughly interviewed his mother who still cannot believe her son will never return home. stolidly game when she really saved one person a man was drawn in crimea he was choking and 15 but he dragged him to shore he didn't consider it a big deal it was just a thing you have to do he always thought the people should help others do good deeds he didn't offend anyone he we spoke to people with respect he was simply kind to people on the radio he always did everything that he'd have enough money so the family would have enough x. that none of us needed anything. else but they had to see meters even now i just don't believe he's not here i just don't believe it. every 2nd i think he'll come home soon he'll be with us. the plane's flight data and

cockpit voice recorders have been recovered and are being analyzed and the wreckage of the plane has been removed for forensic examination investigators are looking into 3 possible causes of the tragedy pilot error system a function and bad weather. i. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov and u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe have held talks on the crisis in venezuela it happened on the sidelines of an arctic council meeting in finland and comes after an alleged coup attempt was thwarted in the latin american country is expected to visit the russian city of sochi on may 14th to continue the discussion among the issues addressed during the fillin talks was the possibility of u.s. military action in venezuela they are trying to reports. rather 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 as well as like the. didn't speak to journalists at all after this here in finland but when. i 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 cool sam intervening militarily things that are loose. consent to do this and 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 with real politics we

concentrated on real politics incentives from my contacts with the u.s. late in american and european colleagues i don't see any suppose it's moved to reaction and media at the 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 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 simply not able to do that even though he is 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 1st includes diplomacy dialogue and peace if the u.s. prefers the military 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 at any cost with dural and the self-proclaimed president why do our finally touch on this president donald trump has spoken to president fly out of our pool the top diplomats have met but it is unclear whether that would still lead to a peaceful resolution of this longstanding venezuelan crisis.

this week iran announced it would no longer honor all of its commitments under the historic $2015.00 nuclear agreement it came precisely one year after the u.s. in a lot early pulled out of the deal something that has hit terror on the economy hard and heightened international tensions iran is now threatening to keep access and rich uranium stocks in the country rather than sell them abroad tehran has also given the pact signatories 2 months to ensure their upholding their side of the deal or will resume production of more highly enriched uranium the move met with a mixed reaction from europe and a new round of sanctions from washington d.c. . the united states wanted to pull out of the g c p a way in order to make iran withdraw from the deal the day after so the us would be able to refer the case to the un security council to ease the burden on the shoulders of the us to redouble and ratchet up the pressure on iran iran did not fall into this trap. we have continued to say actually every

that leads us to believe that there is escalation that may be taking place and so we're taking all the appropriate actions both from a security perspective and well as. our ability to make sure that the present has a wide range of options and they made this up that should actually take place what we've been trying to do is to get around to be him like a normal nation. unfortunately this is typical of our american colleagues during my meeting with u.s. secretary of state my company or in finland on monday i called on him to employ diplomacy rather than issues threats when it comes to challenging situations. we urge the iranians to think very long and hard before they break that deal. today nothing could be worse than iran leaving the agreement there are no sanctions today from europe because iran has so far all respected the commitments. are to is

rick sanchez discuss iran's threat to restart its nuclear program with mohammad marandi of the university of tehran who helps negotiate the iran nuclear deal. even insiders here in washington with think tanks representing organizations like the carnegie endowment are now saying the troubled ministration is being quote deliberately provocative but we ask the question tonight is iran acting in a manner deserving of u.s. and israeli condemnation or are both countries simply trying to provoke busy the iranians into a war much like our invasion of iraq some are criticizing the 1st question why is president rouhani threatening to restart the iranian your rating and richmond program. well i think it's pretty obvious the iranians negotiated the nuclear deal after many years of negotiations and the iranians

made. significant concessions they were flexible in order to show the international community that its nuclear program never was anything but peaceful and that iran contrary to what we honestly heard in the western media was not looking to create tension i'm going to back you up on this actually 14 reports by the international nuclear energy agency 14 are confirming that iran has not violated the agreement at is not building a nuclear program why didn't the obama administration the trumpet ministration or the netanyahu administration buy that why did they believe it why do they say differently. and i think the intelligence agencies knew exactly what was happening and i think that they knew quite well that the nuclear program was peaceful the united states government and the political establishment really never

forgave iran after the revolution and the fact that iran chose an independent foreign policy but right now what trump is after in the union of many. people in iran is not to limit the nuclear program but according to what we see. coming from bolton and and peo it is basically to not just overthrow the political establishment but there is even talk about trying to make iran as a nation collapse all together. still to come on the weekly russia marks 74 years since the surrender of nothing germany the victory day parade in moscow alone and put it up more than $13000.00 troops and dozens of armored vehicles that story more after this short break.

whole existence to. be put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be cross that's what before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of god i'm trying to sit down and talk.

welcome back russia mark the 74th anniversary of nazi germany surrender on thursday and the end of the war on the eastern front here's a look back at the commemorations. it's very difficult to describe the atmosphere here it's it's charged electric is a tense but that the super rich excitement up excitement just released during the

break itself. you hold. your run of beer for sure rio. no you are serious hussein. nothing unites this country more then the more it's all right jim it marge every time i see this i just don't understand when the flow of the crowd is going to stop it's and this. victory day holds a special place here in russia does it the incredibly high price paid by the people

of the soviet union or $26000000.00 died in the conflict or than half of them being civilians that meant that practically every family lost someone. one of the bloodiest battles in the history of mankind took place in stalin grav in southern russia now known as evolve a grab at last for 200 days between 19021903 cost the red army more than 1100000000 soldiers germany's losses were even higher on losing the battle the nazi leadership even declared a day of national mourning many historians see the battle strong as a watershed moment as it dramatically altered the course of the war even now harrowing reminders of the trauma inflicted by the war are emerging. i was silly me collab each dig in and the last one left i've been injured and will not last long.

but i will stay here i will die but i refused to give in to the enemy tell my wife that i was defending the motherland. we will win no matter what. avenge me comrades. joe biden vice president under barack obama is leading the pack in the contest for the 2020 democratic presidential nomination according to the latest polls and it seems much of the media and democratic leadership are throwing their weight behind

the former senator as they once did with hillary clinton him up and has more. a new poll shows that joe biden has surged ahead in the race for the democratic nomination in 2020 the poll shows that 46 percent of democrats are backing joe biden as the potential nominee with only 14 percent backing bernie sanders and despite a lot of other polls telling a very different story the media has jumped on this one voices are now telling us why he's the best choice for the democrats and this is a guy who doesn't have a republican but you see some of the folks on the website you meant for joe biden is that he's the most electable candidate for democrats to beat donald trump i think joe biden is a best chance of success does this sudden coronation remind you of anything. hillary clinton is the best candidate democrats can put forward a take on donald trump voters in wisconsin think hillary clinton is the best candidate hillary clinton is the best candidate the media tells us that joe biden

is the most experienced candidate furthermore it stresses the point that biden is a centrist he's actually kind of a centrist which is one of the reasons why i think republicans fear him more than the other hillary clinton is not threatened in terms of the nomination because he is a pretty moderate centrist democrat and in fact biden's 1st campaign fundraiser happened at the home of the exact same guy his name is david cohen he's the chief lobbyist for the media conglomerate known as comcast now both biden and clinton voted for the iraq war both biden and clinton have lots of wall street donors and both biden and clinton screamed to lock him up in the 1990 s. driving america's incarceration rate sky high trumps victory in the 26th election was interpreted largely as a rebuke of a failing political establishment now hillary clinton's husband got some interesting advice years ago my wife gave me a psychology book several months ago in which the author defined insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting

a different result perhaps it's time to revisit that book polls are often a reflection of media coverage and the corporate media in the united states love suman gives him lots of coverage and that can give him support in polls and they also hold likely democratic voters which is not the same thing as who actually ends up voting in a generalization even just who answers polls is not the same thing as who votes clinton she was the most experienced and the most right wing of the democrats and the media loves turbot he didn't mean she could get elected in fact the polls were overwhelmingly clear time and time again b.d. of appreciate them if there are massive purchases of advertise. joe biden 2020 has already engaged in of what the media like someone and telling everyone they're the leading candidate as they did overwhelmingly with hillary clinton does not you know

anyway obvious mean that that is a candidate who's going to win an election. facebook has provoked another storm of controversy this time by banning an australian breast cancer advertising campaign for violating its rules on nudity. because. the ads feature topless survivors of breast cancer covering themselves with small pics the campaign was launched by the breast cancer network australia together with the big chain last year it raised more than half a $1000000.00 the chief executive of breast cancer network australia says that facebook previously approved the ads. we were so disappointed to hear that facebook had found that very brave women and men who all had breast cancer we're told that they were probably too real into confronting to be able to have on

facebook particularly in that 40 plus age group use facebook to tell their friends and family of things that are important today so facebook has been important 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 the ads were allowed to happen but then again the day that we launched facebook said these ads were no longer permissible a spokesperson for facebook australia says that while she personally love the idea the ads didn't fall apart from guidelines the policy does allow for the posting of post message to me photos by ordinary people but for advertisers it was our stricter yourself facebook users have been reacting. finally deployed for you to paula see 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 use the facebook form for a good cools they jump and it's been shifted down we spoke to human rights attorney jennifer breeden she thinks that the ban points to wider concerns with the social media giant 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 is a silence prominent conservative voices we're seeing 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. that's a recap of just some of the stories that helped shape the world these last 7 days and that's all for me as well today but for not my colleague bill harvey will be here at the top of the hour with your live news update as always thanks for tuning in. and 2040 you know bloody revolution hitting the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still lawyer hiccup what if i mean yeah let's put video
