britain thousands of. high risk groups into the wider population. around the clock around the world this is our lives. in moscow good to have you with us this hour. inexperienced crew members a lack of bad weather read in this pressure from passengers to land quickly and the pilots refusal to look for an alternative landing site those are all listed the main reasons behind april's deadly crash which killed polish president lech kaczynski investigative committee has presented its final report on the accidents caused to poland well for more let's cross now live to d.c. now he's forming for us and he saw the report is expected to set the record
5:04 am
straight so give us more detail what do we know so far. with the interstate aviation committee is presenting their final report as we speak but we already do have some further details into this tragedy which killed the polish president his wife and most of poland's political elite last april let me take you through some of the findings that they have revealed first of all the crew did not check the weather forecast for smiley airdrome before takeoff it was also found that the captain was not qualified to handle the two you one fifty four in those weather conditions there was also pressure from the commander in chief of air forces and in fact it was found that he did have alcohol in his blood during an autopsy also there was no explosion on board before the crash and the investigation has claimed that not one person alone can be blamed for the incident and it was also said that
5:05 am
the air traffic controllers at the smiley ounce crew were controlling i should say traffic over the smile. did advise several times the crew to land at an alternative airdrome nearby during the presentation of the film was also shown which details the last thirty six minutes of that tragic flight let's now take a listen to some of the clues that investigators got to as to why there was pressure to land. quickly. the phrase of the navigator pronounced to this moment he'll go crazy. here the navigator there saying he'll go crazy it is being presumed that the hill he's talking about is in fact president lech kaczynski now part of this film dies so the
5:06 am
last caraway seconds of the flight before it crashed let's take a listen. special attention should be paid to the fact of the collision with obstacles was lower than the runway threshold elevation and before the defined fixed point the middle market whose coordinates the crew had not even entered into the flight management system thus this accident is a typical case of controlled flight into to rain or c f i t that happens every year throughout the world to summarize it we would like to emphasize that this video only presents the direct causes of the accident the system causes and contributing
5:07 am
factors provided in the final report. part of the film there that was shown during this presentation of the final report again it is still going on so perhaps it will bring you new findings but no one person is being said to be is being blamed for what happened it looks like there is a multiple of range of causes that caused the plane to crash it's more lands classed april well this is the final report but the draw for a pool which was earlier handed to poland caused concerns there can you tell us why that was. it was there was concern from polling from their representative to the i.o.c. from the president from prime minister donald tuesday also saying that they believe that there were various factors involved in this crash one of them being air traffic controllers that were directing flights over that region but we spoke to experts though and one from the u.k.
5:08 am
david letterman told us why the air traffic controllers can't be blamed. controllers do not have the right to refuse pilots something that they want to attend they can only advise them they cannot refuse them so it is it's actually. misleading statement and in a lot of parts of the world it's actually wrong for the polish president to say the controller should have told the pilot not to land the controller did not have the right to tell the pilot not to make an attempt. now the draft report did deem pilot error the cause of the crash so far in this final report we haven't heard that we are hearing that not one person is to blame but like i said we could hear otherwise as it's still ongoing but you have to remember also poland and russia have a deep and difficult history together when this first happened the tragedy it looked like they were going to work together vote very closely and throughout the
5:09 am
eight months of this investigation it seemed to be the case when the first. draft was revealed they were unhappy with it and some experts do believe that that is because of the vast facts this tragedy had on the polish people as well as politics . i think that the polish reaction to the russian report is undoubtedly going to be clouded with emotion this event in genders in the polish people. i think what the what the polish government wants to be able to present to the polish people is that this was not purely the fault of the polish crew and that russia take some blame for it as well i don't think this is very much to do with the facts i think it's all to do with politics. now as this final report wraps up it will be
5:10 am
interesting to hear from the polder side perhaps they will accept this final version of the report on the investigation into the plane crash after not accepting that first draft report and he said thanks very much indeed for that update no doubt more from you as we get more reaction throughout the day but in the meantime thanks and as international investigation commission delivers the final report or indeed it has delivered that fine reporting to the fatal crash involving the polish president's plane near smolensk last april you can watch the verdict the delivery of that report on our website is r.t. dot com. well we're coming to you live from moscow we're here twenty four hours a day more news to come this hour including the import of illness blighting britain . ashamed to me maybe because i come from sri lanka originally it was a disease of poverty and. tb is spreading through the u.k.

ranking of the worst in western europe victims and doctors give us their story. also. nice you saw those happy ending the last of five ships with three hundred people on board is being led to safety by ice breakers after almost two weeks stranded on russia's far east coast. the twenty first century's most infamous detention center still holding inmates despite president obama's election promise to get it closed guantanamo bay has become a trademark for human rights abuses since taking its first prisoner nine years ago and as you have reports of cubans far from happy at having america's dirty work still carried out on its soil. it's a place forever immortalized by images of torture known by its abbreviation get america's notorious detention facility in guantanamo bay cuba has been the source of world condemnation where abuse lack of legal recourse and indefinite detention

is the norm it's also been the subject of decades of strife with cuban authorities who argue the forty five square mile military base violates cuban sovereignty and amounts to a military occupation the agreement under which the u.s. has to be on cuban soil to kuantan a moment let's hear a piece. from earlier earliest years of the twentieth century the plot amendment was imposed following the u.s. occupation of cuba after the spanish american war in one thousand nine hundred three was extracted from the den tube and government under under threat under duress and in clear contravention of international laws like the vienna convention the us government threatened to continue its occupation of cuba unless cuban authorities agreed to lease the land for america's military base indefinitely or for as long as it paid the cubans it's nearly runs the rent check four thousand and

5:14 am
guantanamo bay have been detained there since the facility opened nine years ago awaiting a trial. president obama recently signed away his right to bring detainees to u.s. soil making it unlikely that any of them will see a trial or freedom any time soon some argue the u.s. violates cuba sovereignty for this reason because this is the only latin american country for the past over this past fifty years has said you know straight to the eye of the american government or as they would say the american empire a country cubans believe should give rights to its detainees and give back the land that's right fully there is this our t. washington d.c. . and human rights activists have been holding a symbolic demonstration in front of the white house calling for them a beta closed for good they wore black hoods and orange jumpsuits to represent its
5:15 am
inmates and artie's christine for cell was their. they call themselves anti torture or with a group called witness against torture i mean it's yearly pilgrimage here in washington d.c. to bring attention to the fact that the detention facility at guantanamo bay is still open there are in fact one hundred seventy three men still detained there and they're represented by people here and jump you know they started the rally in front of the white house the home of u.s. president barack obama who started off his presidency with a pledge to close down the detention facility at guantanamo bay and yet two years later it is still open and nearly fifty of those one hundred seventy three men inside are considered too dangerous to release but too difficult to prosecute so what that they stay until they die although they've come out here for the last several years there is a slight change this year to the prison uniform many here are wearing stickers with
5:16 am
the image of private first class bradley manning he's accused of leaking those secret documents to whistleblower website wiki leaks he's being held in solitary confinement we hasn't been charged and a lot of people here say this is torture in the same way that the prisoners being held at guantanamo bay are also tortured reporting in washington christine for sound. and he wasn't and he's published these stories of detainees and what he calls america's illegal prisons is going to the most sole aim was to hold people indefinitely while following the human rights. people should always have cared about guantanamo bay because the whole point of setting it up by the bush administration was to create a new category of human being in detention who had no rights whatsoever the problem is that there's still this novel category of human being neither criminal suspects no prisoners of war held in this open ended detention which now because president
5:17 am
obama has found it so difficult to close it is really looking like arbitrary detention one hundred seventy three men still held and it's looking like for the forseeable future very few of those people are going anywhere and i'm going to have trials they're not going to be released that's a profound disappointment because the whole existence of grant on the mo really remains offensive to people who believe in the law and in justice what they've actually done was rounded up people in such a random and haphazard manner that they had so many innocent people that they had people who knew nothing about anything but they felt that they had been trained to resist interrogation by al-qaeda and so they introduced a torture program that's like their kind of medieval which. journalist and author and the worthington that by the way you can head online for updates on analysis and stories like you've just seen here on screen and many others here's a quick scan through some of the dot com for you today no holds barred story the

first man in space fifty years after your garden's pioneering flight british comic book tells of the triumphs into evidence in making history. behind the scenes of the big party gets you a ringside seat to the most circus to see how one of the greatest shows on earth makes its magic. the hands inside for the final ship that has been stuck russia's far east coast three hundred crew members have enjoyed a two week ordeal but i know being escorted through the frozen seized by two ice breakers there's no easy task as artie's a country explains. all the ship rescue operation has entered its final stage while the two eyes breakers are still working hard to battle this exterior really tough
5:19 am
weather conditions that have made this mission so challenging the admiral more current than the cross-in breakers are now in the sea or before it's rescuing the larger of the two vessels that have got stuck in freezing waters all russia's far east coast so almost two weeks ago and has been really hard at the vessel is huge it has heavy cargo on board and the first attempts to tow it to safety were not successful this smaller one has been taken to a safe area to an area with the nies where it is now waiting to fulfill the mission the two eyes breakers now need to pick up the larger one to the smaller want to the refrigerator and finally had four open waters today the press conference russia species agencies so that the weather could worsen throughout the day could hamper those rescue efforts but they expect that within the next twenty four hours by the state afternoon these poor bustles could finally have for open waters where there.
5:20 am
we are expecting the ice breakers and the supply ship to reach the refrigerator vessel within the next twenty four hours the vessels will then continue towards the open ice soon we will have to be patient and i believe we should consider creating a system that would help counter such emergencies in this case we had to wait for several days for the operators of the ice breakers to coordinate their actions the ice sheet grew dramatically over those days before the well with what we know that there is no immediate danger to any of the three hundred crew members on board the supply ship and thirty five crew members on board the refrigerator the smaller ship as they have enough supplies of food and drinking water on board well most go and local authorities of course are monitoring the situation with the rescue operation closely local authorities are now covering the bills are covering the costs of the soap aeration of this mission but once the vessels are home and sailors are also
5:21 am
home and dry of course this will be the company's the owners of the ships which are hard to pay out the costs back in december last year russia's transport station ministry and fishing agency at santa alarm calls to all save us working in the area not to hard for risky boy just this sea of a horde scan the civilian bay in particular a very difficult place for sailors to navigate and this year extremely bad weather conditions freezing temperatures below thirty degrees celsius very strong northerly winds have complicated matters further but despite the calls many ships headed and some by ships got stranded in those freezing waters one of the one trawler managed to breed out on its own without additional how and other was towed to safety by now is great and now these two vessels hop to be taken to open waters by two eyes break this. reporting they're known as the want to play in nineteenth century england tuberculosis is now increasingly a modern day menace for those living in the. u.k.
5:22 am
viewed as the capital of western europe the illness outbreak in britain has been connected to both poverty and immigration but as more emmett discovered the infection is now all spreading beyond those high risk groups. it's a fatal illness most common in the victorian era as a result of badly ventilated damp living conditions but tuberculosis is alive and kicking in twenty first century london a recent study shows tb has hit a thirty year high in the u.k. with more the nine thousand cases diagnosed annually the reasons for this increase is largely due to the number of people who arrive in the u.k. with infection tb infection who usually would have acquired the disease because of their association of having lived in a country with a high incidence of tb. and also because of travel to to those countries britain
5:23 am
has become known as the tb capital of europe pull some of felt from tb alerts which aims to draw attention to the threat of tuberculosis thinks that's a bit strong but still it is the one country in western europe where the numbers are continuing to roy yes it can affect everybody but most commonly it affects people who are poor and that's to do with. close proximity of poor immune systems and so on it's a shocking indictment of the way poor people live in the u.k. particularly those who originally come from abroad but unlike in other countries where tb is a problem in the u.k. it's no longer limited to the poor or those with chaotic lifestyles stemming from drug or alcohol abuse or homelessness sharma pereira is a middle class journalist who's lived in the u.k. since childhood she was ill for five years we can tired with debilitating night sweats before doctors finally diagnose tuberculosis. deep in my heart i knew
5:24 am
something was wrong i stopped working i stopped doing all the things that i normally do a movie of all of energy. but i've become a sort of rather tired grumpy middle aged woman doctors aren't sure where pereira picked up the illness but say she could just have been standing next to the wrong person on london's public transport network i was so ashamed because tb to me maybe because i come from sri lanka originally was a disease of poverty and it's. not deliberate but a lack of cleanliness a lack of hygiene in iran due. to me. it was consumption it was what mimi dies of it. was it was what it was to do with sort of dampness it was d.h. lawrence it was not comfortable me in my nice little move west london home pereira now has to take antibiotics for six months and will then be well statistically
5:25 am
she's much more likely to take the whole course of treatment than someone poverty stricken or addicted to drugs or alcohol not finishing treatment leads to drug resistant tuberculosis already on the rise in the u.k. in the late one nine hundred eighty s. the us had a similar cases of tuberculosis the way they solved that problem was by pumping vast sums of money into its ironically the u.k.'s one of the world's largest foreign aid with huge investments in fighting tb abroad but in austerity hit britain it's unclear whether the money will be available to stop the spread of the disease. r t. just turning twenty three minutes past the hour here in the russian capital your next with the business news.
5:26 am
hello and a very well welcome to the business news or disputes between russia and belarus have reared their head again with the russian oil producers halting deliver us while pricing negotiations drag on the companies want to raise the price of oil off to minsk said it would be hiking transit in the verse to europe well for more on this i'm joined live by our to you but the only one who is that the headquarters of luke or the moscow how do you not bash the dispute between russia and belarus appears to be settled last year what has gone wrong. well actually you know well and most go have failed to reach an agreement a new oil price agreement and that resulted in a hold on russian oil sales to bella russo starting from the first of january now russian oil companies are demanding to increase the price for ballot to increase the price of russian oil for bellerose to forty five dollars per ton something that doesn't suit millions but the move comes after minutes announced
5:27 am
a. rise in the on russian oil transit to europe and that's about forty million actually i've got to say that a twelve and a half percent rise in terror of russian oil transit to europe but that's about forty million tons annually now russia exports about twenty million tons of crude to balad annually one of about routes uses only a fraction of it at home most of it is being refined and we export it to europe at much higher price and that resulted in russia introducing export duties on its oil for ballerinas which almost brought the countries to an old wall last year how well in the end of twenty ton of to minsk ready flied the agreements on the creation of this think single economic space between russia belarus and cousin. mosco agreed to scrap export duty sell for ballerinas on condition that. returned
5:28 am
all the beauties that it received from reselling the russian oil to europe now i have to say that russian companies are saying that so far they have enough oil in there with finer ways to last till the end of this months and the negotiations between a russia and belarus are underway and of course what is the most important thing to mention so far russian oil flows to to europe of why a ballad was haven't been affected back to you to explain the thought of well thank you very much for this indeed. world prices have risen to a million two dollars a barrel the highest for more than two years and it's a court can assume an order and gas analyst says i thought the some price hike could help in the coming weeks but it's likely to be short lived there's a chance. through i would my continue even. when we see a short term. spike to one hundred dollars per barrel.
5:29 am
going to be in a much more weeks. just saying. this is playing well in the short term obviously could exporters benefit from this book if you extend this beyond. three to six months the high prices are centrally a sort of net tax on all my drawer consuming. deposit interest rates are continuing to decline in russia s people at their bank savings their interest rate among the country's top ten lenders is now eight twenty five percent on average deposits current to more than two hundred ninety billion dollars last year russia's ten largest lenders hold seventy percent of all deposits but a quick look at the.
