This is the weekly here on our team welcome to our roundup of the headlines that shape that we. Investigations are continuing into what caused a passenger plane to crash shortly after from taking off from omani airport in kazakhstan killing 12 people dozens were injured in the incident on friday including children we cannot show you pictures showing the rescue operation investigators are considering 3 possible causes of the tragedy pilot error technical malfunction and bad weather heres how events unfolded. Live to. See if it is. The case you need to get a little later. The code on the new the consumer look at who was just. Now there was a shows it was a war of the paragraph or 4th he would give the perception i will see. That. I dont like google did i mention a dog a but do you. Believe in god i only live in a given your right. To know i should just let hold strong jolt in the left wing literally 2nd play to the plane began to rock back and forth like a boat i began to tighten my belt panic a dollar a day began the children had started crying when the plane began to go dollars look at it was clear that would definitely go into crash when i braced myself for impact then the sewing the mergence a door was open so we jumped on the wing and against whipping because it was icy we helped each other to get. Geoffrey thomas from Airline Ratings dot com gave us his thoughts on what might have gone wrong. Cations point to 2 possible causes one is that as we can see snow sleet snow everywhere it was very very cold icing conditions and it may well have been that the plane was not correctly d. I still not be arsed at all and if theres a build up of ice on the wing as soon as the plane takes off youre going to have a situation where you would get the lift over the top of the wing the air over the top of the wing is disturbed therefore you lose lift and the plane or you reach now 2 to 40 feet and then crash back to earth. And the other thing we have but theres a possibility there was an engine problem we know the aircraft reached takeoff speed of about 175 miles an hour and then quickly that speed quickly to within a 2nd or 2 of takeoff back to a 148 and thats when all the data was lost. So possible engine problem possible icing problem on the wings. On saturday ella best demonstrators gathered in paris for a 59 quick and a protest they were joined by those condemning the governments pension reform plans reporting from the capital here charlatans. Well its the 59th week of protests by the jle asian ones out every saturday to show their discontentment with the french government and what they see as being policies for the rich are they against the poor theyve also been joined by protest of those against the Pension Reforms at the moment in france these the reforms that the french government is trying to put through some reforms that would see some food different Pension Systems joining down into one universal system so to give you a sense of the crimes that weve caught hey you might be able to see i simply banas and this protest crowd heading back towards god to norwich is about a kilometer away they are in fact also in front to versus well so far this is being a generally calm protest but as you can see some of the protesters are trying to pull down some of the barrier is that are there for the rude works of it going on in this area it seems like the tensions are starting to rise now here in paris as act 59. 00 is underway were being told not to fail not to show whats going on. A pretty serious series as you can see my camera is being a crash that still has the look. Out for you as well the book of all this is all. The political will just trying to do our jobs in paris here by showing whats going on with the protests as you probably can see from the end of that footage my cameraman was attacked when we tried to stop the attack is from talking in the camera and that she smacked me across the face this is the kind of reaction you get from some of what people describe as being the black blocks just literally walking me smack across both sides of my face because i was trying to explain to him that were doing our job and to stop trying to harass my cameraman and attempting to break the camera. As you can see the police going. There has been lit by the protests since you can see things from heathrow not the police by some of the protesters now as they try and get close and this is the area where we were trying to film earlier and were attacked for doing so by some of those mosques to protest as you can feel the tension rising in the end of this 59th week of the yellow vests protests and of course joined by those on protest against the changes to the Pension System bringing brought food by the french government as you can see that far been said to some of the the roadworks that were taking place and it looks like theyve been able to get some rubbish to put on top of that police now putting that out very quickly and trying to secure the area as the protest is still around the tear gas now just burst as the police trying to control those crowds you could see there were bottles they looked like last vocals being thrown into the pace you can still see some things being thrown into the air and not tear gas now that cloud coming pushing us away a mechanism again trying to control the protests picking up this is already its coming quite close to say really need to move forward a bit faster if we possibly can just to try and get away from that particular us now dispersed by the police in attempts to control the crowds here close to shuttle a in the center of paris just give you a sense of where shuttle is its just across the water from. That famous cathedral here in paris the police there trying to move themselves away at that tear gas unusual to see the police crying from the tear gas its perhaps nice to see for me that im not the only person who is impacted by the gas. U. S. Democratic president ial hopeful Michael Bloomberg has apologized after his Campaign News prison labor to promote his alexion message female inmates were employed to cause voters although bloomberg himself denying he knew what was happening. We learned about this when the reporter called us but as soon as we discovered which friend a subcontractor had done this we immediately ended our relationship with the company and the people who hire them imagine being so rich you have people who have people who have prisoners to do stuff for you agence being so rich you dont even bother to check what you are spending millions of dollars on. Rita reading we sad indeed when we learn a vendor of a vendor of a vendor use prison labor we did know about it and we never would have allowed it we dont believe in this practice and we immediately stop working with pro com and the people who hired them so how do you do it pay someone to pay someone to tell them Mike Bloomberg is a big spender he was last to do in the president ial race and he has already outspent all the other Democratic Candidates on Campaign Advertising i mean the guy has so much money he doesnt seem to have the time to check what he spent a good dog but theres credit Michael Bloomberg did promise america more work just to. Get it. For president jobs creator. Rights america more jobs even if you dont particularly want them what makes it much much worse is that many of the prisons in the states a private run for profit and there are laws that force people to work so if you are in a jail and you are told to work you have to youll be punished sometimes they pay you as much as 20. 00 a month thats right 20. 00 a month now heres the irony Mike Bloomberg billionaire one of the richest people in america was essentially paying for what is a slave labor to cool people apparently tell them that hes a good guy wait the bloomberg is he was paying someone to pay someone to tell everyone what a good guy he is trump says he wants to run the nation like hes running is business god help us. Everybody says stuff that comes back to bite them but when billionaires do it its generally an order of magnitude. It gets. Worse the further you dig when he launched his campaign his media Bloomberg News sent out a letter to thousands of its journalists pledging to uphold its principle of not investigating its own this is the sort of person mike is Mike Bloomberg started as a middle class kid to work his way through college and built a business from a single room to a global entity creating tens of thousands of good paying jobs along the way there he couldve he probably shouldnt but he didnt let me continue he became richer year after year he made really a selling bank is new to christie priced products all gadgets the same bankers who through unbridled greed set off the 20085 actual crash the province tens of millions of people of whom as of life savings and jobs. Michael bloomberg the president. Investigative journalist Dave Lindorff believes that despite bloomberg vast wealth hes not a particularly strong candidate. It really shouldnt be acceptable for anybody liberal or conservative to use prison labor its forced labor bloomberg is a multibillionaire hes worth like 54000000000. 00 hes made his money by you know not paying attention to things like that. That hes not concerned about the little guy and which i guess becomes you know if youre if youre supposedly a democrat youre concerned about the little guy and. Enormous a packer see it a big problem because i think its going to hurt him a lot i dont know where people get the idea that bloomberg is the great savior for democrats in the race in the race against trump he has almost no poll support all he has is money. Billionaires have not traditionally done that well running for office its. You know you got to have money to run for president but when you have that much money i think that most people are pretty suspicious of your motives in running for office. Will be back with more of the weeks top stories after the. You know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by the person of those great. Dares thinks. We dare to ask. Them back a machete attack on a synagogue on saturday night in new york state has left 5 people injured 2 of them in Critical ConditionPolice Arrested a suspect soon after the incident. The attack happened during a Hanukkah Party and counterterrorism unit is monitoring the situation currently the new york governor called the act an attack of domestic terrorism a suspect is in Police Custody and reports say the attacker was a black male his motive for means im clear commenting on the incident a local some women called it pure hatred but a lot of anti semitism a lot of anti semitic acts in the area. Completely unacceptable we in the specially during this time of peace and hanukkah we dont understand you know what the motivation is for all of this is just pure hatred and its senseless and we need to do it do whatever we can to provide safety and. Provide a safe haven for everyone here we have hundreds of thousands of families in the york we live peacefully but theres no incidence in this community and all the other jewish communities theres all stabbings no shootings no crime the crime rates are literally like at 2 percent nothing so under such a thing happens it frightens everyone they talk follows a spike in hate crimes against the Jewish Community in the region there have been 7 antisemitic incidents reported in new york city this week alone and less than a month ago and shooting at a kosher supermarket in jersey city left 4 dead heat in the harris calmness says nothing can justify such acts of violence. 1st of all there is no total solution i dont want to use the word fighter solution god forbid there is no law because it is immaterial and has many many faces and you see it coming from many their reactions and with many different look evasions we put everything in one basket but this does not mean that everything can be approach in the same way israelis believe the world is against us and anti semitism is serious as it is is many times also used for political purposes but obviously there is a sense of shock and disgust of this kind of nobody can justify and nothing can justify this kind of violence the policy of israel they occupation their brutality is fueling. Some of the anti semitic movements many anti semites are using the police of israel as an excuse for their semitism. Ukraine and the selfproclaimed peoples or publics of done yet the dance in the east of the country have just completed a Prisoner Exchange it was done of has more. Well we do have some official figures finally we do know for a fact that more than a 100 people to part in this war in the swap in total for instance we do know that has sent some 61 people former prisoners to the territories of these selfproclaimed and thats kind of peoples republics and those breakaway regions in turn have sent 76 of their former prisoners back to kiev now this whole thing was only possible because of the normandy full of the latest round of the normandy for talks when Vladimir Putin for the 1st time met the ukrainian president for them as lenski and of german chancellor Angela Merkel and the french president of manual necron being there as well this was one of the one of the things one of the agreements that they reached during that meeting in paris now this war has seen there have been a few hitches and if you said backs to to this what for instance we do know that at least 2 people 2 persons refused to take part in the refused to go back from donetsk and lugansk republics regions for one reason or another also all saw 5 former members of burr could police unit an elite police unit that took part in dispersing the protests the protests the might an uprising back in back when it happened they were part of the swap too and they didnt go well with some people because some people in ukraine they share a rather radical stance a rather radical view look on whats going on on the war and so on and what happened on the my done and they share not just animosity but pure hatred towards form a burka members so yesterday there was a Court Hearing in kiruv in the ukrainian capital on the fate of the of those 5 persons now they were released which effectively. Thats why thats how it became possible for them to become part of the swap and those more radically inclined individuals they they didnt take it well the showed up at the codes at the courts doors they clashed with the police chanting slogans like death to burkhard and so on and so forth but so far it looks that the prisoners will put over rule has been a success which is a major step for the wall for the sides for the currently warring sides. Its a tradition of the Holiday Season for World Leaders heads of state and major organizations to deliver their annual greetings up the passing year and generally express hope for a prosperous and happy future but it seems this time around there are a few peculiar messages as i ask you tell explains.
