For more on this story roy chalons joins me live now from the russian capital and i suppose the crucial on says to the cause of this crash lie in the flights blacks black box recorders do we know if any of those have been recovered. Yes we do one of the flight recorders has been recovered and that will play a crucial part in working out what happens to this plane why it came plummeting out of the sky so soon are after takeoff we have confirmed that there were no survivors on board but as the as it stands at the moment we understand that only two bodies have been confirms discovered that says a couple of things it says first of all that the operation on the ground is tricky and its being is being made tricky because of such heavy snow fall in the Moscow Region over the last few days weeks theres been you know at least a meter or of sadar on the ground thats going to hamper things also the fact that this plane was it seems to be burning as it came down and when it hit it hit with enough force to make significant crater and also to scatter the very small pieces of debris from the plane over a fairly wide area means that of course identifying bodies is going to be difficult this has taken on of course a National Aspect the National Aspect of tragedy Vladimir Putin has canceled a trip to sochi that he was planning to take her on monday to meet with the Palestinian LeaderMahmoud Abbas that meeting now is going to be taking place in moscow and the president is staying here in the capital while the investigation progresses what can we expect in terms of the public reaction there will be shock and sadness over the crash no doubt but also might there be a sense of anger and frustration that it might have been prevented in some way. Well this i think depends very much on whats the eventual cause of the crash is determines to be. And of course then how the message is conveyed to the russian people casting my mind back to where the plate was brought out of the sky over sinai by and i so bomb now the message was well it was it was it was managed in in a way that space agreements that there was sorrow on behalf of the russian people there was anger but it was not anger directed at the or storage fees it was essentially russia being attacked and russia coming together. If this plane went down for similar reasons and of course its too soon to say whether that is the case then i would expect similar messages are coming out of the kremlin similar messaging to be made on the russian t. V. Channels and perhaps a similar response from the russian people and i thank you very much for a child as in the russian capital.
