Its sunday on c. N. N. That means were taking a look at some of the biggest stories as covered right here over the past 7 days and happily some good news to start us off with those well 2 russian pilots. In history on thursday morning after pulling off whats been described as a miraculous Emergency Landing that crimea bound euro lines flight suffered twin engine failure after striking a flock of birds while taking off from moscows airport but against the odds they were able to bring it down safely in a nearby field saving the lives of everyone on board this was the scene as people left the plane. I think of. The pilots of flight you 6178 had just moments to react to the bird strike and avert impending disaster they decided to land the plane on its belly in a cornfield without deploying the landing gear or being able to dump the fuel on board. This video was taken from inside the aircraft as it accelerated along the runway the singles that were sucked into the engines could be seen ever so fleetingly through the window 226 passengers and 7 crew were on board more on thursdays remarkable events History Month also. 226 passengers and 7 crew members of Ural Airlines flight bound for crimea from moscow are celebrating their 2nd birthday the air bus a 321 collided with a flock of birds just shortly after takeoff from the capitals zuckoff ski airports the captain mir yusupov had just seconds to make the right decision when he discovered the strike caused engine failure with 16 tons of fuel on board and no ability to make it back to the runway he knew that an Emergency Landing could result in a catastrophe to show you a little bit of after we took off the engines became unstable 1st the left one and then the right one we usually simulate the situations when one or 2 engines are off despite all our efforts the plane was going down we realized that we didnt have much time just one or 2 minutes to make a decision in a blink of an eye this man with nerves of steel decided still land the aircraft in a nearby cornfield without using the landing gear and shutting off all power to prevent an explosion and various officials praised the crew for their professionalism during the spine chilling landing as well as for a well organized evacuation it is something we acted in line with our training with similar situations like this before so there were no surprises the passengers were disciplined listen to our instructions and evacuated very quickly they did as we expected there was no panic on board even though the landing was rough the pilot did a great job he landed the plane really Kathleen Koch tell us please how do you feel now did you hurt us. You know its better than i was there lying on the field so everything is rather good the landing was good defilers did a great job landed the plane on the outbound everything he fine the media was quick to make connections with the another such incidents when loss of life was a virgin thanks to a pilot the miracle on the hudson involving a u. S. Airways the aircraft flown by captain Chesley Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles hit a flock of geese after takeoff from new york citys La Guardia Airport and lost all engine power im able to land at any available airport they had to ditch the jet in the hudson river just outside of manhattan with all of the 155 passengers a risk used by nearby ferries and bolts thanks to the heroic solved by the captain and his crew their relatives and loved ones self all the people involved will get to see them again Ramana Koester of artsy moscow region. Ation experts we spoke to say the pilots made all the right decisions under extreme pressure. I take my hat off to the pilots and to everybody onboard the crew and the passengers because this was a textbook Emergency Landing the video ive just seen of it was absolutely amazing i think he took a calculated risk he said right we are too near the ground by the time the landing gear gets down it might not have locked in place well go for what we call a belly flop and thats basically what he did and he landed it beautifully and this is a bit like the if you remember the hudson river incident when the plane landed on the lake the whole point is that he brought it down with the nose slightly out and so literally it sailed over the cornfield and thats quite a robust crop so that helped the landing these pilots did brilliantly because they were really quite low when the bird strike took place and the engine power dropped away almost completely so they had to look around for an open space in which to land and they didnt and as you can see theyve done it brilliantly russia does have a history of having very good pilots that it is a profession that russians are very proud of having those who have it placed exactly 10 years ago there was what has become known as the miracle on the hudson they got a little bit higher before the birds hit them but this time they were geese and those a very big birds they lost both engines the pilot looked around the highly urbanized area near new york couldnt see anywhere safe to land so he landed on the river and again like this event everybody survived. The death of disgraced former money manager Jeffrey Epstein was caused by suicide according to the new york medical Examiners Office the convicted paedophile who had connections in high places in washington was found dead in his jail cell on august the 10th he was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges at the time but lawyers for the finance here have said theyre not happy with the findings of the autopsy. The defense team fully intends to conduct its own independent and complete investigation into the circumstances in cause of mr epsteins death we are not satisfied with the conclusions of the medical examiner. The 66 year old multimillionaire was set to face trial over the alleged abuse of dozens of underage girls and the creation of a sex Trafficking Network that just days before his death a Manhattan Court released to 1200 documents relating to the case he repeatedly denied the charges against him last month that state had been placed on suicide watch after an apparent attempt to take his own life since the tycoons death there have been numerous reports about the conditions that he was being kept had some of suggested he was having to pay other inmates for protection others that he was sleeping on the floor wasnt even allowed to wash some also say that his death may not have been suicide while taking a closer look at all the speculation his correspondent jamie of attractive. If there are screenwriters out there right now racking their brains over ideas for a new mega juicy plot ive got a perfect one for you the life and death of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein who was at the same time a friend of the likes of president s clinton and trump or you case Prince Andrew just how many skeletons in his claws a did this man have his death is a real shocker and a staggering mystery some details of it though have been revealed to the public. America baffled you really cant help asking questions. Even though last month Geoffrey Epstein apparently already tried to kill him self a source within the Law Enforcement reported he was only put on suicide watch for less than a week plus its been claimed epstein wasnt checked on every 30 minutes by guards and got deprived of his cellmate and violation of the prisons normal procedure there was also rumor that surveillance cameras malfunctioned on the night when the death happened. Only a day before the inmate was found unconscious a court released 1200 pages of documents detailing numerous claims of child abuse by him and his girlfriend was that the last drop of anguish will never find out. Oh this is a giant playground for fans of conspiracy theories these have been ranging from the idea that bill clinton had Jeffrey Epstein killed even President Trump tweeted about that one to the russia did it kind of stories president from using his massive twitter platform 63000000. 00 followers to spread a deranged Conspiracy Theory in a statement a clinton spokesman said the suggestion that the clintons were involved is ridiculous and of course not true and donald trump knows it you know this is just more recklessness what hes doing is dangerous a guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful mens lives and dead in his jail cell how predictably russian its hilarious and ultimately completely predictable that you would have leftists and democrats in the media trying to be Something Else on russia we havent seen any ties to russia in the eps in. Case we havent seen any russian oligarchs that have been on this fly list that we know of but anyway you cant turn away from the fact that mr epstein was close like i said with some of the most influential people on this planet most likely they had nothing to do with the death but all those politicians and money makers can now brave a sigh of relief because dead men dont speak the really aggravating thing to me is all the flying monkeys that are out there right now on conspiracy theories if you look at the facts of this case it was no question this was going to happen 1st of all in lock up settings like that there is no such thing as a personal privacy there there are no un control settings if rules are followed no shoelaces no belts no access to even as much as a finger nail clipper or radio show us the darn films what do the cameras have to say who had access to the cameras where are they this is a remarkably Simple Program just 1st show us what was recorded.

Says that to give a helping hand in improving human rights so its all in good faith and in the name of democracy given the high level of skill and expertise across british policing it is not surprising that there is an international appetite to learn from the best we cannot stand by and criticize countries from the sidelines if we want to see wholesale changes it probably doesnt hurt that it brings in a tidy sum to the arm of the u. K. Home office responsible for to. Offices abroad has bought and over 3000000 pounds since 2012 with 89 percent coming from the Death Penalty still exists when the British Government to really talk about training the police when they are really doing is empowering what we call it punitive and they are the one which pretty much training. But also awarding them a Police Officer committed an abuse or something people could resort to to things like this like and was an office where you can submit complaints over the since 2012 to this date we have seen that those institutions which had been a fisheries or the British Training resulted in only one thing that they they kill the torture the still systematic in the country this is what the United Nations said this is what amnesty and what the Human Rights Watch said and then secondly that there is the climate of impunity the status in the country allegations of complicity in Human Rights Violations and bolstering authoritarian regimes increased dany complicit or not one has to admit its not great for the british sas to take. This weekends developments on the way tens of thousands continue to take a stand against the government in Hong Kong Well bring you the latest from there after the break. Its seemed wrong. To me. To shape out just to come out to it and engage with because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. Interest rates.

Thousands of teachers ready to get hong kong authorities on saturday in a show of solidarity with the leading cause of democratic reform was also a sizeable counter protest by people concerned by the continuing unrest in the city and the threat that it poses to the territories special status the months of antigovernment demonstrations were originally against the controversial extradition bill which is since been suspended indefinitely but the protests have since whiting to a much broader set of demands. Protests hong kong airport took an unexpected turn on tuesday when a reporter for chinas global Times Newspaper was seized by the crowds. I. Was was i was.

Read whether its the color of saffron in Jammu And Kashmir or the taste of crime the sweetness of apples or the succulents of kashmiri shores or artworks your gammick products of or herbal medicine needs to be spread worldwide but given the history of kashmir there was little chance of modis move going down well. Yeah instead of sweetness or succulents the reforms have brought out the vile and discrimination out of both sides india didnt just strip kashmir of autonomy many say stripped kashmir as women of their rights its comments like these coming out of india that cause the outcry muslim policy workers should rejoice in the new provisions they can now marry white skin women of kashmir on social media bigotry is rampant some see this as an opportunity to claim ownership of women living in kashmir under one of the provisions which is no longer in place only permanent residents of kashmir were allowed to buy property in the contested region well now across india the business.
