Minister. And the defense minister calls on nations of port the civilized world to oppose the the burg drop is good to have you. With this on this tuesday, one person has died. Many more have been injured during a flight with severe turbulence from london to singapore. The Singapore Airlines going triple 7 was diverted to band car, where Emergency Services that is on the ground, a witness. It says that the turbulence led to those not wearing seat belt, hitting their heads against the overhead compartment. There were 211. 00 passengers and 18 crew on board. Or earlier we spoke to journalist jacob gold bag in bangkok and he gave us the latest from the see the best coverage was just held with a representative from uh, from the airports. Um they were previous records and local media of a 2nd. Say tell it is possible that those remains in there. Single bar airlines has confirmed that there was one fatality of a 70 year Old British National and that the tally is believed to be related to a heart condition. Theres also, its also been reported that there are 7 passengers in Critical Condition and 18 and total who had been hospitalized based on the footage, shared by passengers on social media and the, the plane experienced a pretty severe dropping altitude is reported later that it was probably 1. 8 kilometers dropped in about 4 minutes and the, the sewage goes drains into flying everywhere. And theyre also getting some image instead of damage to the overhead compartment, the ceiling of the plane. And when the passengers were launched into the air by the turbulence or more now, i want to go to julia bray. He is in Aviation Security expert. Joining me tonight from cambridge in the u. K. Mister bates could see you. We hear about turbulence, severe turbulence, all the time. What we dont hear is, is that someone lost their lives because of that. So why should we make it . What happens on this white . Yes, 1st of all, come down says to the family and all those are being injured. This is a very unusual a car because the buying triple 7 is the state of the art buying. It spills or carbon fiber and use a turbulent 70 effects. The main frame of the plane and also all the other perils that weve seen today. But it does on the line. The fact that if you do fly on aircraft today because of the changing climate, weather conditions, Everything Else usually that you keep your seat belts on. Just like the around the lot, but just make sure it is actually buckled. So you call be thrown out of your chair and hit the saving, which apparently you have to acquire a number of people that additional just saving panels. And some of the infrastructure came down exposing pipes and Everything Else. So there is a message and another message should be that in future it should be hand baggage of the in cabin. So an old cases have to go into the hole because that is the place folded. Yeah. Because you know, mr. Brady, today, there are more people that ever fly and people are trying to fly by carrying on as much luggage as possible. Do you think that this incident and others hopefully that we dont have that are like it, but this engine is going to force airlines to change their policy about carry on as i think is going to have to because the fed, as you say more people sign so theres more luggage in cases, i know the cases based on youll see for the for just say uh, movable objects at all. So tied down. And so the best place sold and easy to hold. And people say yes, but we want to get off quickly. But if there is a really emergency and then you have shoots to slide down, then people waiting to get the cases will delay the real rescue procedure. When these things do happen. So were lucky that the plane managed to make an emergency landing. And everybody, everybody else goes off, apart from the injured and the ambulances were waiting. Do we know mister bray, what the pilots, what they were encountering when, when this happened to me that they were, they were flying a boeing triple . Subbing and we know the, the route that they were following. But can you maybe give us a birds i do if you will, of what maybe the pilots would have encountered it and had to do the slow. Yeah, so the cool, so they have all the latest navigational lights and also radio, which is very important because on mobile name for ads, doppler radar, you can actually pick up the traces of turbulence. So you all for a while and in some cases. But apparently i may close, its going to be a mass of investigation. Now to find out what did happen they, they would always know that the type is it says. So they might have seen clear as a clear incident. I know there was nothing showing. They went straight into it normally. Yeah, call fly over cloud and around the storms and the way from bad weather areas. But unfortunately it does happen. You get to get these some pockets and you have to admit theres been some very Strange Weather events around the world like they for example, do buy some things i havent said nobodys ever seen have before. And so i think we have to take account of changing climate conditions, changing rather patterns, and we had to be ready for it. But i think we kind of help ourselves if we keep those seat belt buckles buckled up where we slide. Yeah. And, and when we fly were always told to do that. You know, if you are seated, please keep your seat belt fast and but the pilots is this something that the pilots are aware of that they could fly into a pocket of turbulence . Wind shares. What have you with, with no warning and media . Is that a reality that we as passengers need to be aware of swear . Yes, its always been a reality in the pilots know full well what the weather conditions are going to be because they do have a way to follow cause i am a weather bracing before they take off and then they have the insight instruments without you tell them what weather is coming out where it is all so they will be warned by a Traffic Control that Traffic Controllers will also make up points that is a hiring for us and treacherous weather. But the point is that the turbulent is usually way down of that is a more frying use out of thunder storms and storms and things like that. And when share a bad try balance over over the years, is being quite a global contrib refund. And so it is not the main factor for an accident or for an incident. Any age and security expert julian, brian. Mr. Berry is always we appreciate your time in your analysis to night. Thank you. Thank is russia is it has begun Tactical Nuclear weapons drills close to the border with ukraine russians. Defense Ministry Says that they are taking place in the Southern Military district that includes parts of ukraine under russian occupation. Most gifts as the drills will test its readiness to deploy the weapons. The kremlin says that they come in response to what it is calling threats by certain western officials. Russian officials pointed to recent comments by frances president , who said nato should not rule out deploying troops to ukraine. Britons for administer said he had the right to use western weapons to attack russia. But dw, as Eastern Europe editor, roman country ranko joins is now for more roman. Good to see you. Russia says that these drills are a response to what it says or western threats. How seriously should you crate and its allies take the as well. Um, both are taking those flat seriously bucks. Um i do think that in ukraine and in the west, nobody believes that there is an imminent threat of russia actually using those technical Nuclear Weapons because im looking at the situation on the battlefield. There is no reason for russia to do that, against your grand russian. For pauses. Are you ok . Buying New Territories of ukraine so your brain in armies weekend by not having enough ammunition, most enough soldiers. So um um no, no, nothing. Speak, sofa. Russian rush, i using them against different thing, but its like just like before in the past. Yes. It looks like its an attempt to prevent the west from helping ukraine more than before and even maybe certain types of weapons smoke, probable weapons for as youve said. Now those mentioned the mentioning of the possibility thats a nato troops to some country. Nato countries would send troops to ukraine to help ukrainian army, for example, in less than positive or can so not involved in a company operation. So no immediate contact between a nasal troops and russia. And also of course, russia is worried by ukrainian wish to strike with west of buttons on the russian territory. This could be a serious threat for our ship. So russia is signaling dont do that. And when reports all the time about military exercises being carried out, also by pressure, thats nothing new. What maybe unusual is the fact that were talking about Tactical Nuclear weapons being included in these drills. Tell us a little bit if you will, about technical Nuclear Weapons is exactly what are the well, indeed it is not unusual to have those drills unusual, is that the roster is showing off and im explaining, telling the world that it is conducting those exercises now. So close to the ukraine in border. So this is unusual and also unusual that its taking place also in bell or was a neighboring for my soul. Good for republican, you know, ukraine where russia has deployed Nuclear Weapons or, and they only a year ago, texaco and Nuclear Weapons basically basically differ from strategic Nuclear Weapons by the range. So that they, um they are, um, they cannot fly many thousands of kilometers miles away. So, and theyre less powerful. Those are basically 2 major differences. But um, the difference there is a kind of a grey zone. Some russian technical weapons like that is going to missiles now or they knew was developments like the hypersonic controlled missiles they have bore and they fly hundreds of miles. Whereas a c launched caliber missiles can fly thousands of kilometers, which is actually quite a lot. So the actual garage, i could launch them from the caspian sea, far away from the grand border. But those technical weapons meant not to destroy large cities, but rather smaller cities. So its, its a weapon of intimidation. I would say, and a roger is not going to use them. This is, this is my estimation. And this is what also a lot of Nuclear Experts ive been talking to are saying russia, hes trying to frank from the west. Not to give you a Great Southern weapons, doesnt use Eastern Europe, editor of roman got draco rome, and as always, we appreciate your time and your insights. Thank you. I or would you ever these foreign minister on the bare boxes that the world needs to do . Wait more to support you crate and its war against russia. Shes been meeting with ukrainian president. All of them is zalinski and cheat. German Foreign Ministers as a Global Initiative launched by germany, has raised nearly 1000000000 bureaus to help protect ukraine. But that even more is needed. Great officials have pleaded for months with their western partners for sophisticated air defense systems. As russia has stepped up, it strikes on the country. Meanwhile, the foreign minister has cancelled plans to visit ukraine 2nd largest city hurricane. Due to cert, security concerns of the city is a regular for russian showing the constant bombardment. And as far as tar keeps residence, to a down to life under fire, dw, xbox, its under reports denied on ukraines 1st underground school. Its the 1st day of school for these kids in their 3rd graders already, but have never sat in an actual classroom 1st because of covert and then because of the war now able to study together 6 meters below ground, protected by reinforced concrete. In the 1st permanent underground school, a bit unusual at 1st with the kids like 9 year old social. It feels safe from the farms has heard and studying at home. Holy ha ha. When it was very loud, i would either run into the cory door or hide underneath the table, near the wall b dash away from the window no show week now and will show for the living class. In general, Public Schools in harkey do not operate in person. Even today. There are students who are participating on line parents like sasha squad to worry about what this does to their children. Theres a lot more greatly affect to the development of children. The war had a great impacts and education must be a society for children. The other children have dreamed of meeting their classmates the down here. The war remains on. Everyones mind the end. So place only to be followed by an air raid siren the, but it will help with the, the anxiety is constant, its always there. And as you say, constant as siren went under stress, but we try to hold on as far as close to. This is our choice of staying and how to if we have not gone abroad. This is our native home, a native schools weve made it say this underground facility is shared by multiple schools of the district class. And so i have to take turns the city of hurricane is planning to build more such school. For now, the kids can attend only around see time together, they embrace of the night above ground. There was a semblance of normality today and her keys. But many who lived here before the war have fled. Those who remain are trying to live their lives with the russians close by. You dont have to look for to see the ugly side of parking in a residential neighborhood. Big live bomb went down between houses, homes were destroyed, the family of 5 injured 2 of them, teenagers were in the garden and inside the house. Im like this released by a plane. Its about 5 minutes. They have to city talk if as little to no protection against these weapons, this war crime investigator tells us there have been 200 such attacks and the last 6 months of crow pressure. Why not as if once more than 1000000 civilians live in hockey and they suffer from attacks every day to another. You know, no one is safe from such strikes, watching for you can see that the time from the launch of the bombs to that arrival is very short. The people did not have time to go to the shelter, joining the alarm, but what could it be just setting out to war for keep matters to create its history, culture, universities, and industry. But most importantly, its home to those who live here willing themselves to find ways to deal with a daily russian tier. Or it has a quick look. Now, some of the other headlines this our, a russian play. Right. And they see it are director accused of justifying terrorism. And so they must go to court that they are innocent. Now prosecutors have charge sped lona petri, chuck and you have getting your bakovich over their play about russian women who married is womic state militants. They faced up to 7 years in prison if found guilty. A group suspected a party who here in germany, has gone on trial in frankfort, the so called rights, burger or citizens of the empire are considered violence and steeped in far right ideology, the plotters were arrested back in 2022. During nationwide rates, they wanted to impose military law over german of the us secretary of state and to be blinking has called the International Criminal courts, move to request arrest warrants for israeli leaders. A profoundly wrong headed decision is real denounced the i c. C. On monday, after the courts, chief prosecutor requested a warrant for arrest of israels Prime Minister and defense minister over the war in gaza. In a statement a spokesperson for a Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged. And im quoting here, nations of the civilized free world fan to oppose and condemn the decision. Several of israels other western allies have also criticize the courts move saying that it equates israels actions in gaza with him off is october 7th terrorist attack. Im us leaders are also wanted by the court. All right, i want to know that our brussels correspondent terry shows hes been following this story for us today. Terry, how are you leaders reacting to israels appeal to ignore any warrants requested by the i c. C. As well brand, this case definitely puts European Union government again in a situation where they are divided. Now, these are some of the most fervent supporters of the International Criminal court. Above all of its right to seek justice in the way that it sees fit without being pushed around by governments, especially those who dont recognize the court at all. Like israel and the United States, and this though is the most sensitive issue you could put in front of the court. These really palestinian dispute, of course, divides the you on a whole host of issues. And this is just one more of those. And perhaps tellingly the European Commission itself has not come out with an official statement reacting to the chief prosecutors decision. But this is what the Commission Spokesman peter stano had to say today. When asked at the commissions daily briefing, the European Union respects the independence of the ice as a business independent international institution. The deals with the investigation of the, the serious crimes that tries to deliver on the issue of immunity or prevents that there is so if you need to, if anything comes to violations which fall under the remy than the mandate of the i, c c. And again, all the countries that subscribe their own scott, you of the icbc though vacation to follow that terry, that is the position. Its worth noting that germany has criticized the icpc move, saying that a false equivalency is being created by announcing hamas and israel at the same time that we sent out numerous requests to de determine lawmakers to talk about this, including the German Foreign ministry. No one was willing to talk. Germanys position it is in line with the United States as an as well from what we can tell as you say if, if the german officials are not willing to elaborate on their position, perhaps were not sure. And thats the true of the your opinion as well. The fact that they cannot come out with a statement that would be agreed by all 27. 00 means that there is not a single position. But as you mentioned, germany is, is recognizing the right of the court. To exist the right of the court to seek justice, but it is very uncomfortable with the prosecutor. Naming is really Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the defense minister at the same time as he named the 3. Hm. Awesome figures. Uh, as you know, in, in the same announcement, i think that a lot of countries are uncomfortable with what, what this is being called is the false equivalency of what a mazda did on october 7th. And what is real has done in response. And then it, germany is not the only kind of country which is sort of trying to bridge that divide dw corresponded Terry Schultz joining us from brussels tonight. Terry, as always, thank you. Iran has begun funeral events for president abraham raising.

The people of all was being united against external threats. Im you should to target charlotte over so shortly. The souls rest in peace. The nation will deal with this issue and everything will return to normal. Thanks to golf. Right, you see a 63 year old conservative clerk was seen as a potential successor to current Supreme Leader. I a tool that i may need according to a runs constitution. President ial elections must be held within 50 days. Posing a tricky question for a runs rulers, should they open the race to moderate rivals or stick the hard liners and risk the embarrassment of another low voter turnout . Political distrust and an ailing economy have helped fuel voter apathy. Turned out during the most recent elections was the lowest recorded since the 1979 is law. Make revolution to i spoke with come on monte and hes elector with the university of sussex on international affairs. And i asked him whether so many rainy is a really morning the man who was also known as the butcher of t. Ron, i dont think you should read too much into the foot to just coming out of the wrong uranium stage media has developed a, you know, very much expertise in, in producing such images for external consumption, the, even the record. So how does the person in that election, which is produced by uranium version itself, shows extremely low interest in, in iranian institutions and participation in, in politics. And of course, missouri i see is a known well remembered by many iranians because of his participation in the so called this committee in the 1980s, especially in 1988 when causes of uranium public to the prisoners were executed. Then he was one of the 34. 00 maam committee which implemented a foot 12 by a tele, im able to task for prisoners to be cleared from this political prisoners. But in any case, his death clearly poses as some challenge to the islamic republic. But im not sure this will be something which will go out of control. The elections are very much pre engineered in the wrong because of the nature of this system. There is a on collective body which has to approve all the candidates who want to stand in elections and in that sense and the wishes of the Supreme Leader will be implemented one way or the other.
