We spoke to Chris Phillips former head of the because National CounterterrorismSecurity Office who says the wrists work across borders and Security Services must do the sun. What it does as well is that we live in such an interconnected world now intelligent so so says the u. S. Of obviously go are also dealing with people and planning incidents in. And i think were going to see more of this because because of the use of internet telephones these interconnected groups able to strike anywhere so well you can only hope that countries Work Together not only against terrorism but the bigger thing actually possibly even bigger than terrorism is organized crime because organized criminals are wreaking havoc across the world at the moment weve seen people murdered in london a recently a lot to do with drugs and of course this is this is a big problem for all countries. Thats the geishas are continuing into what caused a passenger plane to crash shortly after taking off from marty airport in kazakstan killing 12 people dozens were also injured in the incident on friday including children these pictures show the rescue operation best gators are considering 3 possible causes of the tragedy pilot error or technical malfunction and bad weather heres how events unfolded. You. Im sure. It is. You know it was a good. Credit. To them that when you consider look at the reason we were discussing risk. Im not aware of the shorts it was a board of the peregrine its a report you would use your perception it will see. Your email. Here you like pretty good. Oh did i mention a dog but do you. Believe in god i mean literally mcgee given that i have. You know i should just let hold strong jolt in the left wing literally seconds later the plane began to rock back and forth like both i began to tighten my belt panic could already begun the children had started crying when the plane began to go dollars look at it it was clear that would definitely go into a crash when i braced myself for impact then the sewing cage that exists in the mergence a door was open so we jumped on the wing and again slipping because it was icing we helped each other to get down. Geoffrey thomas from Airline Ratings dot com gave us his thoughts on what might have gone wrong. Early indications point to 2 possible causes one is that as we can see snow sleet snow everywhere was very very cold icing conditions and it may well have been that the plane was not correctly d. I still not do ya stood all and over the top of the wing the air over the top of the wing is disturbed therefore you lose lift the plane or you reach now 2 to 40 feet and then crash back to earth. And the other thing we 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 speak 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. The Us Democratic president ial candidate Michael Bloomberg has apologized after his campaign used prison labor to promote his election message female inmates were employed to call up voters bloomberg himself denies he knew what was happening we only 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 hired them imagine being so reach 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 used prison labor we did know about it and we never would have allowed it we dont believe in this practice and we immediately stopped working with pro com and the people who hired them so 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 democrat 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 they his credit Michael Bloomberg did promise america more work just to. Get it. For president jobs creator. Right 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 more cringing it get. Further you did when he launched his campaign his media Bloomberg News sent. Thousands of its journalists pledging to uphold its principle of not investigating its own this is the sort of person mike. Mike started as a middle class kid to work his way through college. Creating. Jobs along the way to stop there. He probably shouldnt but he didnt let me continue he became. Intimate selling bank is new to christie priced gadgets the same bankers who threw on bridal greed settle for 2000 they will crash depriving tens of millions of people the voters of life savings and jobs. Michael bloomberg the president. Investigative journalist Dave Lindorff believes that spot bloomberg well face 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 his word 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. Which i guess becomes you know if youre if youre supposedly a democrat youre concerned about the little guy and its 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 to get struck he has almost no poll support only has his 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. About with more of the weeks top stories just after the break. It is a long held tradition on cross talk to take stock of the year that is about to pass we have a look at what moved us what changed and what gave us concern 2019 the good the bad and the of.

Reports say that the attacker was a black male the motive remains unclear and new york governor called the attack an act of domestic terrorism. Be seen or not in new york this is why once spurred by hate it is Mass Violence and i can see. Only our domestic terrorism. Semitism. Medic acts in the area. Completely unacceptable we need in the specially during this time of peace we dont understand you know what the motivation is for all of this is just pure hatred the attack follows a spike in hate crimes against the Jewish Community in the region there been 7 anti semitic incidents reported in new york city this week alone and less than a month ago a shooting at a kosher supermarket in jersey city left 4 dead political analyst live in a rafa village says until semitic hate crimes are a concern far beyond the united states. I think that its a global problem all over the world especially in europe no also in america well the jewish communities they were settled when the jews are in trouble all of us the world.

Ukraine and the use of proclaimed peoples republic of donetsk and lugansk in the east of the country have completed the Prisoner Exchange ukrainian president but it is of those fears arrived here 76 people released by bus just on the on the story. Well we do have some fishel figures finally we do know for a fact that more than a 100 people and. In the swamp in total for instance we do know that key of has sent some 61 people former prisoners to the territories of the selfproclaimed the nets and guns 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 for all of the latest round of the normandy for talks when Vladimir Putin for the 1st time met the ukrainian president for their missile 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 of 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 bourke 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 this war 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 kiran 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 individua. Wells they they didnt take it well these showed up at the courts at the courts doors they clashed with the police chanting slogans like death to berkut 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.
