. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r t international with me here and now our top story a ukrainian military plane has crashed landed on a motorway in the east of the country taking the lives of 26 people there were 2 survivors of the crash but one has died in hospital the other is in a serious but not life threatening condition correspondent gave more details to kevin no. 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 and one of the engines before the crash and investigation has been
8:02 pm
launched soon after the crash the plane was and golfed and 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. you. do condolences to the 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. yes so many young lives going there again. look at the pictures coming through in the stream very close to a busy road to waste 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 comes just a few feet further or hit the road well the 1st thing that comes up in your mind is
8:03 pm
the suggestion that the pollard could have 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 true 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 for dimmers alinsky has
8:04 pm
decided to visit the crash site himself a massive tragedy for ukraine that is. nearly 2 months since the disputed election plunged into turmoil protesters have once again taken to the streets a number of arrests have been made it comes in the week president was inaugurated for his i think 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 was they provoked anger among the opposition at least trying to just post the crown's that this latest protest seemingly adopting a soft line approach. was. just. this is the 1st weekend since the inauguration of alexander lukashenko here in belarus we are in the russian capital in minsk and right now saturday is the weekly
8:05 pm
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 sure 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 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 and
8:06 pm
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 the words by the foreign minister came in an interview to r.t. is worlds apart program which as in a few hours the new u.s. measures target of wrongs defense and the nuclear industry they blacklist 27 individuals and entities that washington claims are involved in developing nuclear weapons now washington earlier said it was re-imposing or u.n. sanctions that had been in place before the iran nuclear deal well those old restrictions had hit sectors of iran's economy hot like banking for. example all banks including the iranian central bank found themselves on that blacklist about makes iran unable to pay for the much needed medicine as many organizations refused
8:07 pm
to deal with those banks fearing u.s. sanctions washington claims it's only about stopping the development of nuclear weapons something to iran denies it 7 been involved with speaking at length to artie's worlds apart the iranian foreign minister says it's the people who were 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.
8:08 pm
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 not to be case 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
8:09 pm
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 that. we have said that with or without the united states iranian interest that or. guaranteed in the g.a.c. pewee 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. is alive the security council proved that it is a lot. the united states tried to torpedo this resolution sitting in
8:10 pm
it all the united states not only left the room but bombed the room try to destroy the room 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 want. trampas nominated judge amy kearney barrett to the u.s. supreme court she has to fill the seat left vacant following the death of justice ruth bader ginsburg trying call the judge eminently qualified for the job if seated barrett would solidify the right would lean of the court where conservatives now hold a 53 majority u.s. senate republicans have pledged to confirm her nomination before november's presidential election democrats aren't happy with that saying the voters should
