people or wounded i have come across a very tragic stories of one driver working for the government losing 2 sons that is in the call i have also seen a young man pleading about the whereabouts of 5 of his brothers so this is a heartbreak for many families for many extended families and the tragedy of afghanistan i think the law is in the agnelli reality that these weddings of turned into funerals funerals of turned into more funerals and analysts afghanistan gets a comprehensive cease fire the people of afghanistan will continue to lose their entire families in these attacks this is an area in west kabul in the past the islamic state have targeted the she has and has are as and some more openly questioning the inability of the afghan government why they contradict these places

here is what. many afghans told us about this. attack last night. that came in pursuit of the explosion happened near the stage where the musicians were i want you all the youth children and all the people who were there some were killed some were united and now they are in hospitals and others are dead like it was my father's cousin is going to i took my uncle and cousin who were wounded to a nearby hospital and then they were taken to another emergency hospital there are so many dead and wounded victim that my father and other uncle are still there to identify the other victims and there are a large number of casualties around 1200 guests were invited to the wedding i was with the groom in the other room when we heard the blast and then i couldn't find anyone and everyone was lying all around the home and i wouldn't want to. i was trying since last my den up until now to find. what exactly happened to the

this every day cases of violence you know reporting on it so much to say each case such a personal tragedy of course but also our local journalist there in kabul sort of the news where you are smaller thanks for telling us about on the program. ok well this is the weekly roundup of the big stories of the last 7 days next and one of the biggest stories came from russia those 2 russian pilots went down in aviation history thursday morning pulling off what's been described as a miraculous emergency landing there crimea bound ural airlines flight suffered twin engine failure after striking a flock of birds for taking off from moscow's zuko port but against all the odds they were able to bring it down safely pretty much in a nearby field saving the lives of everyone on board obtained exclusive video of the moments that followed. all right. a look at the issues still to live.

on. the pilots of flight you 6178 had just moments to react to that bird strike and avert impending disaster they decided to land the plane in a cornfield without having any time to feel tanks now this video next will take them inside that air bus it appeared so soon afterwards that a 321 excel array to the runway can see that with 226 passengers and 7 crew aboard but there you go momentarily see that shot of the seagulls of the flock of them sucked into the engines ever so fleeting when you saw that with more on the 1st day is remarkable events robin call sort of was at the scene within the hour. 226 passengers and 7 crew members of ural airlines flight bound for crimea from moscow are celebrating

their 2nd birthday the air bus a 321 collided with a flock of birds just shortly after takeoff from the capital's zuckoff ski airport's the captain jameer yusupov had just seconds to make the right decision when he discovered the strike caused engine failure with 16 tons of fuel on board no ability to make it back to the runway he knew that an emergency landing could result in a catastrophe to show you a bit of parole after we took off the engines became unstable 1st the left one and then the right one we usually simulate the situations when one or 2 engines are off despite all our efforts the plane was going down we realized that we didn't have much time just one or 2 minutes to make a decision in a blink of an either man with nerves of steel decide. it still land the aircraft in a nearby cornfield without using the landing gear and shutting off all power to prevent an explosion and various officials praised the crew for their

professionalism during the spine chilling landing as well as for a well organized evacuation it is a tough thing so we acted in line with our training with similar situations like this before so there were no surprises the passengers were disciplined listen to our instructions and evacuated very quickly they did as we expected there was no panic on board even though the landing was rough the pilot did a great job he landed the plane really carefully because the cook tell us please how do you feel now did you hurt your leg. this is you know it's better than they're lying on the field so everything is rather good the landing was good defile a did a great job landed the plane on the up down everything he's fine the media was quick to make connections with another such incidents when loss of life was a virgin thanks to a pilot the miracle on the hudson involving a u.s. airways the aircraft flown by captain chesley sullenberger and jeffrey skiles hit

a flock of geese after takeoff from new york city's la guardia airport and lost all engine power i'm able to land at any available airport they had to ditch the jet in the hudson river just outside of manhattan with all of the 155 passengers a rescued by nearby ferries and bolts thanks to the heroic solved by the captain and his crew their relatives and loved ones self all the people involved will get to see them again ramana koester of artsy moscow region. the new york medical examiner's office said friday that the death a disgraced former money manager geoffrey epstein was caused by a suicide the convicted paedophile was found dead it is jail cell last week while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges but lawyers for the financier who had connections in high places in washington have said the not happy with the findings of the autopsy. the defense team fully intends to conduct its own independent and

complete investigation into the circumstances and cause of mr epstein's death we are not satisfied with the conclusions of the medical examiner or the 66 year old multi-millionaire was set to face trial over the alleged abuse of dozens of underage girls in the creation of a sex trafficking network just days before his death a manhattan court had released 1200 documents relating to the case he repeatedly denied the charges against him last month abseiling been placed on suicide watch after an apparent attempt at taking his own life since the tycoon's death of been numerous reports about the conditions he was living in some are suggesting he was having to pay other inmates for protection others claim he was sleeping on the floor and was unable to wash some even claim the death may not have been suicide taking a closer look at all the speculation that came in the week. if there are screen writers out there right now racking their brains over ideas for a new mega juicy plot i've got

a perfect one for you the life and death of convicted paedophile jeffrey epstein who was at the same time a friend of the likes of presidents clinton and trump or you case prince andrew just how many skeletons in his claws a did this man have his death as a real shocker and a staggering mystery some details of it though have been revealed to the public.

america baffled you really can't help asking questions. even though last month geoffrey epstein apparently already tried to kill him self a source within the law enforcement reported he was only put on suicide watch for less than a week plus it's been claimed epstein wasn't checked on every 30 minutes by guards and got deprived of his cellmate in violation of the prisons normal procedure there was also a rumor that surveillance cameras malfunctioned on the night when the death happened . only a day before the inmate was found unconscious a court released 1200 pages of documents detailing numerous claims of child abuse

by him and his girlfriend was that the last drop of anguish we'll never find out. oh this is a giant playground for fans of conspiracy theories these have been ranging from the idea that bill clinton had jeffrey epstein killed even president trump tweeted about that one to the russia did it kind of stories president from using his massive twitter platform $63000000.00 followers to spread a doraine conspiracy theory in a statement a clinton spokesman said the suggestion that the clintons were involved is ridiculous and of course not true and donald trump knows it you know this is just more recklessness what he's doing is dangerous a guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men's lives and dead in his jail cell how predictably russian it's hilarious and ultimately

completely predictable that you would have leftist democrats and the media trying to pin something else on russia we haven't seen any ties to russia in the eps in. case we haven't seen any russian oligarchs that have been on this fly list that we know of but anyway you can't turn away from the fact that mr epstein was close like i said with some of the most influential people on this planet most likely they had nothing to do with the death but all those politicians and money makers can now brave a sigh of relief because dead men don't speak the really aggravating thing to me is all the flying monkeys that are out there right now on conspiracy theories if you look at the facts of this case it was no question this was going to happen 1st of all in lock up settings like that there is no such thing as a personal privacy there there are no un control settings if rules are followed no shoelaces no belts no access to even as much as

a finger nail clipper or radio show us the darn films what do the cameras have to say who had access to the cameras where are they this is a remarkably simple program just 1st show us what was recorded. the real case is that you had very influential people all over the world who absolutely knew what a bottom feeder abstain was they all are partially responsible for this ugly history of this pedophile. say 50 to the morning sunday morning moscow time high the face of being with this review of shootin coming up as a rule we recount more the big stories the week just gone on calling is the seed of yet more protests against this weekend those divisions drove the coup to the rest and that's it's who cover it up with bread.

seems wrong. just don't. get to say proud to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. interest rates are gapping and the spread is widening and what i call the interest rate apartheid if you're in the wrong side of the premise of geoffrey epstein you. to stand. extortion ery credit card rates if you're a friend of jeffrey epstein then you get the insider rate of negative and you get paid money or to borrow money excuse me from the bank.

headquarters this is our international covenant with you this morning hi the human rights activist has been pardoned in bahrain after almost 3 years behind bars for making critical comments online about the government but i maintained she was jailed there for promoting and encouraging people to mount a coup not just use if alleges she was taught should and sexually abused by police officers after her arrest but ready officials say they've referred a complaint to a special investigation to allegations relate to a local police station whose chief was trained by u.k. police that he says could taylor spoke to the organization the petition for use of the release. you tell yourself a former bahraini civil servant and mother 4 was jailed in april 27th he criticised

the regime for hosting the motor racing showcase that is formula one use of gave account of the abuse and sexual assault she was subjected to at the hands of the offices she was arrested by this threaten to kill me they tried to bribe me they beat me but worst of all officers tour off my he job and attempted to strip me of my clothes before an officer sexually assaulted me in custody the pain and humiliation of that week will haunt me for the rest of my life the gist of it. is that the fact is she is involved in what they call it terrorist activity is. that it finishes off this means that the criticizing for will and grace and. reflecting good opinion on facebook or on twitter could considered to be an act and unfortunately for had she was subject to doing had interrogation to sexual

assault and she was tortured only to interrogate her about terror. in granting facebook account which was simply just a critical formula one a domestic bahraini issue while not really because the abuse not just soft it all happened as activists claimed in the police station headed up by brigadier fall was . because trained by none other than the british police back in 2015 august on travel to belfast on a study visit basically a crash course in how to manage protesters the trip cost british taxpayers $16000.00 pounds now engineers have raised the alarm question how this all fits in with bahrain's human rights record. are you hiding behind a. 7 when

i arrived at the building in morocco they blindfolded me interrogated me because of my human rights activities during the interrogation the use the worst forms of physical torture they told me some harsh words threaten me and sexually abused me. the members of the national security service insulted me they threatened me with rape restricting my livelihood preventing treatment depriving that family of education and housing in addition to psychological and physical torture i was jailed 5 times in the past year most of the time i am banned from travelling targeted jailed tortured and my cause targeted attack by rubber bullets and tear gas. one can often why is the u.k. continuing its cooperation with the regime regularly condemned by organizations all over the walled while the u.k. says that to give a helping hand in improving human rights so it's all in good faith and in the name

of democracy given the high level of skill and expertise across british policing it is not surprising that there is an international appetite to learn from the best we cannot stand by and criticize countries from the sidelines if we want to see wholesale changes it probably doesn't hurt that it brings in a tidy sum to the arm of the u.k. home office responsible for training offices abroad has poor and over 3000000 pounds 2012 with 89 percent of that some coming from countries where the death penalty still exists when the british government really talk about. training the police what they are really doing is empowering what we call it culture from punitive and they are the one which are pretty much training toward sharp's but also toward thinking that if a police officer committed an abuse or something people could resort to things like this like and was an officer where you can submit complaints over the since 2012 to

this date we have seen that those institutions which had been officially is the british training resulted in only one thing that they they kill the torture the still systematic in the country this is what the united nations said this is what amnesty and what the human rights watch said and then secondly that there is the climate of impunity is this the status in the country allegations of complicity in human rights violations and bolstering authoritarian regimes increase daily complicit or not one has to admit it's not great for the british sas to take off. again hong kong bracing for another major rally this sunday as the city's pro-democracy protests campaign continues from an 11th consecutive weekend yesterday thousands demonstrated against the authorities of the chinese which on this territory also so a march in support of chief executive caroline the government 2 months of pro-democracy protests were originally calling for the rule of

a controversial extradition bill but a sense adopted a much broader sense of the mom as they closed the resignation of hong kong's leader democratic elections and of inquiry into alleged police brutality and sense of growing the ongoing campaigns putting the city's special status in jeopardy and risking intervention in china. i can. still i.

protests at hong kong airport took an expected turn choose day meantime when a reporter for china's global times these pay was seized by the crowds. was was was. was was there when chief of the global times has confirmed today's his employee in the video we just saw this scary it is tweet he pleaded with the demonstrators to release the journalist noting that his sole job was simply to be reporting it was out there he also called a western journalist to help we got these thoughts one political analyst who believes the protesters want the media to give only their side of the story. the protesters started actually afraid that the truth is going to go. to the surface

the out of. all the media which is trying to go but it's true the chinese will be out to sea for the bureau they're only supposed to for the b.b.c. or the see it or other media of course for those who are. absolutely on their side if you look. at issues. there are still a very basic. will continue to keep an eye on what happens or doesn't of course in hong kong later as those marches continue later today the team will be across and for you for now at 8 25 in the morning muskets on the sunday thanks ever so much check in on how we report our stories the last 7 days always more about what's happening right now online at r.t. dot com when they're asked the same of a great sunday. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often 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. with lawmakers manufacture can be sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes can protect themselves. with the final merry go round lives and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean real need. we came here where did you work before you came. when you live. in many u.s. states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years

waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people because of what they did have given up the rights of live among us some even proven innocent of 2 years on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about it. and it's community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see the kids ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflict i would say. is maybe. close one on each other.

each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of the prison complex just to get some 20 alive where. you don't care. anything. something to say. and you see.

so i thought it was good i'm very good i. suggest you. listen to what i said the sort that would in

a jilt him in the other which just. say ok all about the elf love what it simply. shows me your 1st post was clear skies will smear you yet. list to feel your typical sampling of old video best guys. soon are. there especially for the business folks so smart. traced back to just watch the greater national soup but you only have to buy yourself c.b.s. the goodwill of the world of what that it's ok so yes doing a good go of the crap you need to check the break the real story is that you bill gates but he soon the boat in which studies on the nasa resume all of those people i want you to wish to do the right good chap yourself just by sheer. mass you know she really did i.
