has a. saturday night at 9 here in moscow welcome to world news and reaction from international 1st for you this the number killed when a ukrainian military plane crash landed on the motorway in the east of the country has risen to 26 after one of the to survive has died at a hospital the others in a serious but not life threatening condition correspondent any more details of. the plane was carrying 7 officers along with 20 flight school cadets originally there was supposed to be 28 people on board but one cadet was not allowed on the plane now it was reported by officials that the pilot reported a failure in one of the before the crash and investigation has been laws. soon

after the crash the plane was engulfed in fire and emergency services rushed to the scene along with officials and also the personnel of that military school and this is what we heard from them. when emergency units arrived the plane was on fire and everyone who was inside died. first of all my deep condolences to their relatives and loved ones it's an awful tragedy for all of ukraine for a university for crews we trained young people who would defend the motherland. so many young lives go in there again. look at the pictures coming through you know the stream very close to a busy road a lot of people the fire engines of course but it was literally just a couple of feet all of. the road. it could have been a heck of a lot worse if it comes just a few feet further on hit the road and well the 1st thing that comes up in your mind is the suggestion that the pilot tried to land on that motorway but that

wasn't the case but still you can imagine all the cars trying to dodge the burning parts and the plane crashed only a few kilometers away from that military airport it was only a training flight so again just because there were cars on that highway there were plenty of witnesses they were talking about. a massive fire and again like i said burning parts being thrown around this exactly what we heard from one of the witnesses we were driving on the motorway by the city of to goof when we saw fire and heard several explosions one after the other at 1st it was not clear what was burning there but then cars had to change course as the plane was burning in pieces right on the road while the investigation is already in full swing obviously saturday has been declared a day of mourning for the victims the ukrainian president told them or selenski has decided to visit the crash site himself a man. of tragedy for ukraine that is. nearly 2 months since the disputed

election plunged into turmoil protesters have again taken to the streets saturday a number of arrests have already been made it comes in the wake of president lukashenko was inaugurated for 6 term as president a month earlier than was expected the international community condemned that move calling it a secret inauguration where no public was invited and also provoked anger among the opposition police tried to disperse the crowds at this latest protest but seemingly adopting a soft line approach. with. reporting from for us next. this is the 1st weekend since the inauguration of alexander lukashenko here in. the russian capital in minsk and to do right now saturday is the weekly event the women's march all women who are who disagree with

alexander lukashenko who do not recognize him as their president they have decided to make a show in the center of the better russian capital victory day square commemorating the defeat of the nazi germany back in 1945 and it was one of the one of the venue's one of the places where women were supposed to take their march to apparently they saw people in green people in black and they decided to change their route they decided to turn around now again these women's marches they have become a weekly and a sometimes an even more regular thing here in belarus and this one is special because again it's the 1st one since the 10s of tens of thousands of people several people have been detained here today normally the practices they would be detained and later released if they didn't break. any laws but all those who are marching they remain defiant the try to get scattered whenever they get scattered around

they regroup and emerge in new areas. iran's branded new u.s. sanctions against the country as medical terrorism those words by the foreign minister come in an interview in artie's worlds apart program which we're going to air in full for you on sunday the new u.s. measures target iran's defense and nuclear industries they blacklist 27 individuals and entities that washington claims are involved in developing nuclear weapons washington earlier said that it was re-imposing all u.n. sanctions that have been in place before the iran nuclear deal in 2015 those old restrictions had hit many sectors of iraq. and so economy hard banking for example all banks including the iranian central bank were blacklisted and that makes iran unable to pay for much needed medicine many organizations of course will refuse to deal with banks fearing u.s. sanctions themselves and washington claims that it's only about stopping the

development of nuclear weapons something to iran tonight as it's ever been involved with speaking at length to artie's worlds apart the iranian foreign minister says it's the people who are left to suffer. certainly the sanctions and economic hardship that the united states imposed on iran has had a significant impact we have quite a bit of money stashed in countries abroad and those countries are prevented by the united states from even allowing us to buy medicine with our own money whatever the americans are saying about their sanctions not affecting humanitarian items is just like the united states restrictions prevent us from even transferring money to to buy vaccines so it's basically medical terrorism that the u.s. is engaged. 13 members 13 of the 15

security council members twice wrote letters to the president of the security council once on the 20th of august when the united states issued its so-called no to because in and once on the 20th of september when the united states claimed that is supported the u.n. sanctions have come back rejecting it and that's what's important and that's a major diplomatic defeat for the united states isolation of the united states. verification by the international community of the legitimacy of the iranian position really which is an important achievement not just put it on but for the international community and for the rule of law. north stream is is a very clear example of that if europeans allow the united states to bully them when it comes to iran the united states can bully them when it comes to the lifeline and north stream is extremely important for europe as you know and the united states is

even trying to intimidate creatively intimidate germany from from engaging with russia in that so i think the lesson that has to be drawn from that is that if you allow a bully to operate then these new leaders know and i think the europeans need to realize that. we have said that with or without the united states iranian interest that or guaranteed in the j.c. pure we don't want anything outside the j.c. people we simply want what is ours what was bargained what was negotiated within the j.c. pure and it cannot be renegotiated j.c. puree is alive the security council proved that it is a lot. the united states tried to torpedo this resolution we were sitting in it all the united states not only left the room but bombed will try to destroy good

will now it has to gain a seat back in the room and that is not automatic i'm not putting any preconditions i mean you do not want to have a situation in international. environment where somebody can leave an agreement and come back to it with this doesn't work. pretty activist sounding the alarm over amazon's new home security drone however the retail giant insists that it's the next big thing. however some potential consumers seem less than convinced describing the product as insane and there are questions over who else might be able to use that device to

snoop we got some opinion in new york. it's absolutely insane that it's being marketed and sold to a public a little a little bit and let's see if someone could hack it i mean you don't want this drone to go into your bathroom where you're taking a shower is that companies like amazon and ray are collecting data they do it constantly and you know at 1st they say we're not click you know we're only using data for this and then it comes out 2 years later that they've been listening to every word that you said so. i'm concerned about it but you're paying with your data for convenience and that's. that's the rub that's what happens nowadays that's . unfortunate but that's a people do. i'm a since been courting controversy with a number of its new products there's unease about a wrist worn device promoted as a health gadget which can scan your body and analyze your voice and the company's
