was. found worldwide this is our international from moscow my name's colin bright welcome to you will use this out 1st for you then 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 only 2 survivors died in hospital the other is in a serious but not life threatening condition correspondent details to kevin. 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
6:02 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 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 here on the street 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 you'd come down 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 could have tried to land on that motorway but
6:03 pm
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 should have 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 selenski has decided to visit the crash site. selfe
6:04 pm
a massive tragedy for ukraine that is. nearly 2 months since the disputed election plunged into turmoil protesters have again taken to the streets in a number of arrests have been made it comes in the way president lukashenko was inaugurated for a 6th term as president a month earlier than 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 of this latest protest seemingly adopting a softer line approach. with. a correspondent reports 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
6:05 pm
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 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
6:06 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 scattered whenever they get scattered around they regroup and emerge in new areas. iran's branded 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 in a few hours time the new u.s. measures target iran's defense and nuclear industries they block has 27 individuals and entities the washington claims are involved in developing nuclear weapons washington earlier said that it was re-imposing old. u.s. sanctions that have been in place before the iran nuclear deal in 2015 these old restrictions and hit sectors of iran's economy hard like banking for example all banks including the iranian central bank found themselves on the blacklist in turn
6:07 pm
making iran unable to pay for much needed medicine as many organizations refused to deal with those banks fearing u.s. sanctions themselves washington claims that it's only about stopping the development of nuclear weapons something that tehran denies it's ever been involved with speaking at length to our teams worlds apart later 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 the 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.

6:09 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 clearly intimidate it 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. we have said that we had or without the united states you're an interest in that or guaranteed in that we don't want anything outside the juicy people we simply want what is ours what was bargained what was negotiated within the j.c. pure and it cannot be renegotiate j.c. is alive the security council proved that it is not like. the united states tried
6:10 pm
