Another program in Russia for Turboprop as replacement for AN24/26 class of Turboprop Airliners. Seems bit smaller then IL-114 which is more on ATR classes. So I believe it could supplement IL-114 instead as rival to it.

They are already assembling the first prototype, but this is the first time i heard about this TVRS-44 program, indeed in the same class as ATR42 and N245.
Many aircraft development programs in Russia ending up in the prototype stage (like in a certain country in South-East Asia), so i wonder if they can finish this one.

This time an aviation disaster in the US..... its remarkable that so many accidents happen in such a short time.
So a American Airlines regional jet collided with a UH-60 near Reagan National Airport, Washington DC.

It seems to be a Blackhawk of the army.

Washington DC plane crash: Jet with 60 passengers collides with US Army helicopter and crashes into river

Update
|" Het passagiersvliegtuig is een Bombardier CRJ700-toestel van PSA Airlines, een regionale luchtvaartmaatschappij die onderdeel is van American Airlines. "|
So the aircraft is a Bombardier CRJ-700 with 64 passengers on board and 4 crewmembers, with 3 persons on board the Sikorsky UH-60.
Vliegtuig en legerhelikopter botsen en crashen in Washington, vrees voor tientallen doden

ATC will get rough days ahead on this. Especially under present administration pressure to make government and public agencies accountable.

Now there're talks the Army Blackhawk is flying dark and not emitting ADS-B signals. This is going to get heavier later on.
