the u.s. is in good. and i would have you tuning in this weekend this is the international. news and reaction of the stories that we're across this weekend for you 1st the number killed when a ukrainian military plane crash landed on a motorway in the east of the country has risen to 26 after one of the only 2 survivors died in hospital the other is in a serious but not life threatening condition correspondent could get more details to kevin when. 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 engines before the crash and investigation has been
4:02 pm
launched soon after the crash the plane was engulfed in fire and emergency services rushed to the scene along with officials and also the personnel. 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 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 our motherland. so many young lives go in there again. look at the pictures coming through in 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 a busy road. it could have been a heck of a lot worse if it come down just a few feet further on hit the road 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
4:03 pm
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 ford selenski has decided to visit the crash site himself
4:04 pm
a massive tragedy for ukraine that is. 22 months since the disputed election plunged into turmoil protesters have again taken to the streets a number of arrests of also. made it comes in the way president was inaugurated for a 6th term as president a month earlier than expected the international community condemned the move calling it a secret inauguration where no public was invited it also provoked anger among the opposition police tried to disperse the crowds of the latest protest seemingly adopting a soft line approach. with this is the largest is the best that we have of our correspondent he goes down op reports next from minsk. this is the 1st weekend since the inauguration of alexander lukashenko here in belarus we are in the russian capital in minsk and to do that right now saturday is the weekly event the women's march all women who are who
4:05 pm
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 week into sometimes an even more regular thing here in belarus and well but this one is special because again it's the 1st one since the inauguration of alexander lukashenko it has been branded as sort of a rehearsal for for tomorrow's action which is expected to draw tens of tens of thousands of people several people have been detained here today
4:06 pm
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 scatter don't they will never they get scattered around they regroup and emerge in new areas. around branded new u.s. sanctions against the country as medical terrorism the words by the foreign minister come in an interview in artie's worlds apart program that we're going to show you this coming sunday the new u.s. measures target iran's defense and new clear industries they blacklist 27 individuals and entities that washington claims are involved in developing nuclear weapons washington earlier said that it was reimposing all the u.n. sanctions that have been in place since before the nuclear deal in 2015 those old restrictions had to hit sectors of iran's economy hard like banking for example all
4:07 pm
banks including the iranian central black bank were blacklisted that makes iran unable to pay for much needed medicine many organizations refused to deal with those banks fearing u.s. sanctions themselves and washington claims that it's only about stopping the development of nuclear weapons something terror and denies 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 to do notice to see imposed on iran. the significant impact we have quite a bit of money. in countries abroad and those countries are prevented by due notices from even allowing us to buy medicine with our own money whatever the americans are saying about the sanctions not affecting humanitarian items is just like the united states restrictions prevent us from even transferring money to to
4:08 pm
buy vaccines so it's basically medical terrorism that the u.s. is engaged. 13 members 13 of the 15 security council members quites wrote letters to the president of the security council once on the 20th of august when the united states issued its so-called notification 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 rich 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 that if europeans allow the united states to bully them when it
4:09 pm
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 in these new lives you 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. we don't want anything outside the g.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
4:10 pm
a lot. the united states tried to torpedo this resolution. the united states not only left the room but. tried 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 this doesn't work. pretty activists are sounding the alarm over amazon's new in home security drone however the retail giant insists it's the next big thing.

4:13 pm
state local and federal police agencies intelligence agencies all they've got to do basically is ask and they get what they want the real question is why americans buy these things i mean if people know that they have been to stories about alexy monitoring what's going on in your house amazingly. american citizen seem to be ok with the idea of large corporations collecting every kind of data you know they complain about the government collecting data but they don't seem to mind the idea that it's completely. autonomous unregulated corporations are getting their data. being violent scuffles in central london this saturday is an estimated 15000 gathered to denounce the government's new covert lockdown measures as police moved in to disperse the crowds in trafalgar square for ignoring social distancing rules and not wearing face masks demonstrators threw bottles at the offices who responded with batons the rally was called after new coronavirus

4:26 pm
literally our generals and talking down to his golf caddie who happens to be a member of blackwater you know just in case of 43 year old dentist playing 9 holes gets a little too close to the trump the caddy can kill the man with 2 fingers or he could use a pitching wedge so as not to bruise is 2 fingers but the mainstream media and the liberal establishment have been mortified how could donald speak so horribly about men and women who have served our armed forces trumps comments quote stunning nearly everyone in the room and some vile they would never repeat them indeed they have not been reported until now i wouldn't go to war with you people to. told the assembled brass addressing the room the commander in chief barked you're a bunch of dopes and babies in a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit
4:27 pm
trump said why should i go to the cemetery it's filled with losers in a separate conversation on the same trip trump referred to the more than 1900 marines who were lost at bella woods as suckers for getting killed yeah that is the worst kind of sucker anyone who dies big time loser and considering way more people are dead than currently alive that means most of humanity is losers think we can all agree on that but this story is a big deal and here's the thing it's it's totally true that donald trump hates the troops i mean he doesn't give a about them have they given him money have they won a lawsuit for him have a hushed up a porn star for a then why should he care for one second about someone in the military that's how his brain works cold hard sociopathic calculations. cheeseburger that's how it works but what's not being said in all of this pearl
4:28 pm
clutching media coverage is that none of these other neo liberals or neo cons care about the troops either the corporate media and the politicians serving in congress if they gave a tip of a turd about the men and women sent to kill and be killed in our name then they wouldn't send them to meaningless never works i mean. if the goal in afghanistan what is it we killed all the people we can find paid all the warlords to load all the opium stolen all the minerals what is there left to do. say we really respect the troops and then sending them to a nonsense infinity war is like saying i really love my kids as you send them in to see if they can find out what got logged in the industrial meat grinder yeah just run around in their kids if it suddenly turns on come on back out
4:29 pm
even if you have to leave your arm behind or your sister if the corporate media and the 2 corporate parties cared about veterans they would give them actual good health care rather than making them wait years for the proper attention if they cared about veterans they would talk about the problem of over 20 veterans a day killing themselves and work to find a solution if they cared about veterans they would not don't trillions of dollars into war machines and relative pennies into taking care of the actual human beings if they cared about veterans they wouldn't create propaganda against iran and russia and north korea and china venezuela designed to make damn sure that we stay on a war footing on the cost of nuclear armageddon if they cared about veterans they train them for other jobs after the military rather than just teaching them how to kill and then saying don't let the screen door hit your own way out ok. so our
4:30 pm
society ends up with a bunch of traumatized killers loose on the streets trying to find meaning in their lives and i'm talking about the military i'm not talking about those people at farmers' markets or go just by the coffee you can get coffee anywhere buy some peaches from the 96 year old who went blind for monsanto's roundup 27 years ago what's wrong with you. the promise of the military was supposedly sign up now and if. as a last resort we have to send you to fight somewhere you will be taken care of when you get home you will get the socialism that so many countries give to all their citizens upon birth you will get free education and free healthcare and free drugs job training and free easy loans and cheap auto insurance you will get.
