today from moscow just turned midday here now moscow time my name is kevin and thanks for achieving into world news center here about international as a recap the big stories of the last 7 days the 1st one came from here in russia didn't it 2 russian pilots going down in aviation history pretty much on thursday morning pulling off what's been described as a miraculous emergency landing there crimea bound euro airlines flight suffered twin engine failure after striking a flock of birds will taking off from moscow. airport but against all the odds they were able to bring that thing down in a nearby field saving the lives of everyone onboard it was so dramatic here's some video of the moments that followed it.

so now the build up to it the pilots of flight you 6178 had just moments to react to the bird strike and the virt impending disaster they decided to land the plane on its belly in the cold field without even having time to dump the fuel tanks this video says it all taken from inside the airbus a 321 exaggerated to the one on the runway 226 passengers 7 crew on board then that see it for a split 2nd part of a flock of seagulls sucked into those engines with more on thursday's remarkable event says roman culture of who is at the same more or less within an hour after 1 . 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 about the role 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 eye man with nerves of steel decided still land the aircraft in a nearby cornfield without easing the landing gear and shutting off all power to prevent and. explosion and various officials praised the crew for their

professionalism during the spine chilling landing as well as for a well organized evacuation that is something we acted in line with our training with simulated situations like this before so there were no surprises the passengers were disciplined listen to our instructions and evacuated very quickly as 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 kathleen koch tell us please how do you feel now did you hurt your leg. you know it's better than if i was there lying on the field so everything is rather good the landing was good the pilots did a great job landed the plane on the belly everything he's fine the media was quick to make connections with the another such incidents one 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 your market was an elevation experts who spoke to say the pilots made all the right decisions under such extreme pressure. i take my house off to the pilots and to everybody on board the crew and the passengers because this was a textbook emergency landing the video i've just seen of it was absolutely amazing i think he took a calculated risk he said right we are too near the ground by the time the landing

gets down it might not have locked in place we'll go for what we call a belly flop and that's basically what he did and he landed it beautifully and this is a bit like the if you remember the hudson river incidents when the plane landed on the lake the whole point is that he brought it down with the nose slightly out and so literally sailed over the cornfield and that's quite a robotic crop so that helped the landing these pilots did brilliantly because they were really quite low when the bird strike took place and the engine tower dropped away almost completely so they had to look around for an open space in which to land and they didn't and as you can see they've done it brilliantly russia does have a history of having very good pilots that it is a profession that russians are very proud of having those who have it placed exactly 10 years ago there was what has become known as the miracle on the hudson they got a little bit higher before the birds hit them but this time they were geese and

there is a very big birds they lost both engines the pilot looked around the highly urbanized area near new york couldn't see anywhere safe to land so he landed on the river and again like this event everybody survived. the new york medical examiner's office said on friday last that the death of disgraced former money manager geoffrey epstein was caused by suicide the convicted paedophile was found dead in his jail cell last week while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges but lawyers for the finance see who had connections in high places in washington have said they're not at all happy with the findings of that 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 the 66 year old multimillionaire was set to face trial over the alleged abuse of dozens of under-age girls and the creation of

a sex trafficking network just days before his death a manhattan code had released 1200 documents relating to the case even repeatedly denied the charges against him then last month had been placed on suicide watch after an apparent attempt at taking his own life since the tycoon's death of been numerous reports to coming out about the conditions he was living in some of the suggested he was having to pay other inmates for protection others that he was sleeping on the floor and was unable to wash some even claim that death may not have been a suicide taking a closer look at all that speculation in the wake ilia patrol. if there are screenwriters out there right now racking their brains over ideas for a 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 that this man have his death is

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 myself 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 and violation of the prisons normal procedure there was also rumor that surveillance cameras malfunctioned on that 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 will 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 deranged 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 leftists and democrats and the media trying to be something else on russia we haven't seen any ties to russia in the absence of steve 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 uncontrolled 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. roy

this story next in the week human rights activist has been pardoned in bahrain after almost 3 years behind bars they're making critical comments online about the government borrow maintains she was jailed for promoting and encouraging people to mount a coup and they know to use of she alleges she was tortured and sexually abused by police officers after her arrest but ready officials say they referred her complaint indeed to a special investigation there her allegations relate to a local police station whose chief was trained by u.k. police. spoke to the organization a petition for use of release. enjoy yourself a former bahraini civil servant and mother 4 was jailed in april 27th teen up he criticised the regime for hosting the motor racing show case that is formula one use of gave account of the abuse and sexual assault she was subjected to at the hot of the offices she was arrested by this russian to kill me they tried to bribe me they beat me but worst of all officers tore 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 just if occasion they give 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 a to act and unfortunately for had she was subjected during combat interrogation to sexual assault and she was tortured only to interrogated about terror. facebook account which was simply just a critical formula one a domestic or raining issue while not really because he appears to me that all happened as activists claimed in the police station headed up by brigadier far was . because trained by none other than the british police back in 2015 office on

travel to belfast on a study visit basically a crash course in how to manage protesters the trip cost british taxpayers 16000 pounds now engineers have raised the alarm question how this all fits in with bahrain's human rights records. regarding. 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. but the members of the national security service insulted me they

threatened me with rape restricting my wife with huet preventing kryten and depriving the 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'm banned from driving targeted jailed tortured and my cars targeted attacked 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 officers abroad has bought and over 3000000 pounds since 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 from punitive and they are the one which are pretty much training. but also toward thinking that if a police officer committed an abuse or something people could resort to things like this like and was i'm an office 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 it is 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. it's exactly. 5 the afternoon hong kong time and that's where the live pictures are coming from right now more protests again today people it was going on for hours in the rain 27 degrees apparently. being all rally going on again to tell you more when we come back. seems wrong when old rules just don't hold. any belief yet to stamp

out disdain comes to advocate and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. interest rates spike and gapping in the spread is widening and what i call the interest rate apartheid if you're in the wrong side of the trends of geoffrey epstein you end up in m. bantustan of 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 to lend money or to borrow money excuse me from from the bank.

this is saddam came in overnight a powerful sue saw the explosions told through a wedding hole in the afghan capital it killed 63 people the and injured over 180 others before too from kabul below so waterway. the suicide attacker degenerated explosives cording to the afghan interior ministry the main section of the wedding where the main war eating their dinner at least 63 people killed a woman and children are among those killed more than 100 in 80 people or wounded 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 shias in has r us 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 diddley attack last night yeah but 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 rooted and now they are in hospitals and others are dead because it was my father's cousin's wedding 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 victims my father and other uncle are still there to identify the other victims 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 everyone was lying all around the home i was trying since last my up until

now to find out what exactly happened to the groom and bride we're being told he was a tailor and i'm in the heartbreaking reality in an attack like this is how can entire families vanish like this we have heard from the afghan government condemning this attack we've also heard from the taliban calling it. barbaric and cruel many are now pointing their finger at the islamic state which i think also tells you that whilst there is a peace deal between the afghan government and the taliban unfortunately. the foreign fighters really continue to pose a great danger to everyday life. those who sold just. government rallies on the way in hong kong these pictures very recently and this is the city's protest campaign continues for 11 consecutive weekend tens of thousands of people gathered to go in victoria park in the busy causeway district they're selling right now despite

efforts by police to ban the protest rallies but organized by the civil human rights front it's been behind some of the biggest demonstrations in what is the semi autonomous chinese territory over the past 2 months it comes after thousands of teachers ready to get this town combs authorities yesterday in a show of solidarity with the young people who see the 2 sides that we've been leading calls for democratic reform of the protests as mentioned by people concerned by what's happening generally and where it's going to go the months of pro-democracy demonstrations were originally calling for withdrawal of a controversial extradition building spiraled after that since then move much broader demands including the resignation of hong kong's leader democratic elections and an inquiry into the way the police have been handling it allegations of brutality concerns are growing too about where it's going to go this ongoing campaign is putting the city's special status in jeopardy and may be risking intervention direct from china.

says. so that's a wrap of this weekend meantime earlier on of the week on tuesday protests at hong kong airport talking unexpected to when a reporter for china's global times newspaper was literally seized by the crowds. was

only which way looks like he kept his nerve the editor in chief of the global times has confirmed the it was an employee that we showed the video there is seems the other side took to twitter to then plead the demonstrators to release the journalist dressing his sole job was reporting later that day the reporter was rescued by the police and sent to hospital he was discharged on wednesday political analyst and journalist on drivel a chick says the protesters have been acting in a hostile way generally towards media sympathetic to beijing. the protesters sort of truly afraid that the truth is going to go. to the surface they are. all the media which is trying to go but it's true the chinese will be out to sea for the few and they're only supported for the b.b.c.

able to see it and other media go to school that's. absolutely oversight if you look. at it issues. there are still a very basic us the way so the big news stories of the last 7 days pond as reported by acid out international so much more of course what's happening right now following what something home called a lost site lost in the home kevin i mean the rest of the on g.d. weekend team have a good one. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. somehow want to be. the 2 going to be press it's like them before 3 of them can't be good. i'm interested always in the water. question.

in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to suffer x. food on my table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game between the 2 most of the conflict i would say the ball's around money and most. clothes worn on the children's clothes. is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison camp which is good so when you live where. you don't care.

i'm going see for just are good friends. it's going good. i am involved with a lady friend at the moment she was in california i live in minnesota so there's a distance there we need to know each other. it's not easy making new friends after something like this. what do you do before you came here where did you work before you came here when you live. well death row they don't know what to do with that you know that. it's just one of those situations where you have to realize that not everyone out here is out to ruin your

life there are some who are actually interested in knowing you and helping you. the state of ohio says the new drug combo used to execute dennis mcguire in january worked properly but is increasing the dosage of the pain killers for future executions his family claims the state used as an experiment the state says mcguire was killed humanely. their official position is that nothing went wrong with. swords basically everything was constitutional. was unconscious. medically qualified to be able to. i don't know yet what we're going to have to do if

anything. it's not clear when that's going to be. this afternoon the legislature can actually push through legislation that would try to pull the curtain over any information about who was involved in a this stuff. the idea that we could just high lawlessness regardless of how people feel about it. what the legislature is doing with the secrecy stuff should just absolute piss people off. constantly feel. this. way if you. think if. this is your position you will see instances of shit.
