that took place in jakarta today the plane had previously been in pockets than me and more and kazakhstan was set to head off to laos and vietnam next. on a side of this brown you saw a horse superjet one hundred was on a bit of a sales pitch journey up and down the region as we're discussing here it's night time now that the weather is bad and we are we getting any responses from officials in jakarta as the possible causes for this disappearance. so the indio indonesian aviation authorities are not ruling out the possibility that this could be a hijacking or that the plane crashed into a nearby mountain as i mentioned it's a very rough mountainous region that they were flying in if the plane did crash authorities say that an emergency beacon should have gone off and as of right now and there's been no indication that that emergency beacon actually did go off which is why they're not ruling out the possibility of a hijacking at this point we also got a chance to talk to a veteran pilot and here's what he had to say about swine in that area there get those aircraft i used to fly in jakarta

this is how we seek other partners and to find other partners in kazakhstan. in kyrgyzstan in armenia so this organization definitely has a very bright future. alone. solor or together with other security organizations like nato where this organization c.s.t. or is willing to to do real well literal multilateral cooperation you agree with or without precedent that this organization has a bright sign on but although it was just to celebrate so some will talk just we'll celebrate all mostly most wanted it was important about discussing important things about the result having an intention to sign documents immediately but there was a simultaneously meeting of the c.i.s. countries in moscow many people say they are all in my ear here after after the creation of the c.s.t. or c.i.s. has become just a club for the former former soviet leaders to meet each other i do not agree for the simple reason that these are two completely different projects c.i.s. is for while. the custom union is something else of the euro asian economic union is again something else and c.s.

astronaut blasted off from kazakhstan and are too easy to go whoosh go was there to watch them go. we're at the baikonur cosmodrome as close as we could get to the launch pad with the three man crew part of the thirty one thirty two expedition ready to set off for the international space station let's have a moment and take a look at this amazing occurrence. now they are going to be docking with the international space station in two days on may seventeenth they will be in orbit. for the next four months as that period has been shortened from the initially scheduled six month period still a lot of work to be done first and foremost cosmonauts and astronauts are scientists so a lot of the scientific experiments will be taking place and. they will be docking at the ais as will be docking with several cargo vessels the european japanese american vessels they also will be doing several spacewalks as well one of those will be concerning the situation where. they will be joining the rest of the thirty one thirty two expedition three people already there but of course the big do have to h

both france and germany are equally important for russia as below russia is heirs kazakhstan is heirs china is and all these countries will be included in the coming of mr putin and his foreign reserves and this order which country to be visited first which country to be visited next is is less important frankly speaking what is important is that mr putin is going to pay official visits to all these countries which has always been our strategic partners in the coming weeks and this is the only news which continue confirms the continued to of russian foreign policy while we were having this little chat before the program on the range of the microphones and stuff the person you know the only person you mentioned was the new french president so do you think that this new their their their their their the socialist government the socialist president in france will be a better partner for putin then because isla's right. you know there is a big difference between relations russia france relations and let's say russia united states relations and the difference is that in case of the united

definitely kazakhstan simply didn't have it. islam's militant or terrorist problem as much as they do right now. these are some of the things that are going to happen. but in terms of future doing what we have to do, we have two problems. and one of it is the ambiguity of the local states about the uses and abuses of terrorist groups. you know, terrorism also has to be bad against whomever this is perm traited. the minute that people have a selective approach to the use of terror then it becomes difficult. in other words, if you some groups that against the country or something that a local power or others don't like, then they call them, you know, liberation movements or whatever and i can go on and on. i can name names if need be, but i prefer not to. so the ambiguous role of state is with the terrorist groups. of course, the most significant factor in years past, i mean the idea that bin laden was roaming around in pakistan and the pakistanis didn't know about that to me, i'm sorry it's just strains credibility to a point of

originality, which is a great thing in hollywood. >> were you upset when he made fun of people from kazakhstanay reporter from austria or the ignorant white rapper alig. >> i think those were different. first of all, certainly there were people in those communities that were upset. let's remember. those movies weren't scripted. he was making a point by going out and showing a mirror to a people of bug on theory and closed-mindedness. this is a scripted comedy where he is playing an arab guy from beginning to end. there's no going out and talking to white people or non-arabs about your stereotypes, yoo you are fears about arabs and breaking it down. it's a scripted comedy. if we were involved in the process, even as one co-writer, i think it makes it a better movie for people. i don't mind him. he did k play an arab guy. of course, every minority, we want that. we want the opportunity to be part of hollywood. it leads to a better project and frankly for our community, it makes stars, and stars are things that opens manufactures. >> you know what, we reached out to cohen's representatives, and t
