notorious detention center guantanamo bay have turned and nine years old despite his pledge to close it down the prison still holds almost hundred inmates and. while it didn't aids morse of the year was there in the most of the country's great burthens budget might be passes spent on treating out and sat on plague as the country tackled him lawmakers spread it says. very warm oh well can see this is live from moscow with me alice have at it for us is our inexperienced crew members a lack of bad weather readiness pressure from passengers to land quickly and the pilots refusal to look for an alternative landing site will those are listed as the
7:04 am
main reasons behind forms deadly crash which killed the polish president lech kaczynski the interstate aviation committee has presented its of you falling over personally at the same schools is to poland wolfowitz cause lives overseas and is now he's following developments for us and he said now that the report has been delivered hasn't shed any light on previously unknown facts surrounding the tragedy . one of the new details that have been delivered is a film that was put together by the interstate aviation committee or i see that demonstrates the last thirty six minutes of the flight by combining graphics with cockpit recordings and one of the moments that we can take a look at. you can see that the crew was calm and confident into the end continuing their landing despite warnings from the aircraft automated system to collapse.
7:05 am
yes. you can see in that footage that the crew had no idea they were about to crash into impact the committee highlighted. what they believe are the three main causes that led up to those final moments and ultimately the tragic accident. national monument is that series or a failure to make a timely decision to land at a reserve airport based on multiple becoming day sions of all poor weather conditions at smolensk airport descending lower than the safe minimum height necessary to make a second landing attempt their failure to react properly to automatic commands
7:06 am
those are the reasons which led to the tragic crash of the aircraft into the land and the death of those on board. now the film which you can see in full on our website our two dot com demonstrates how there was also passenger pressure on the crew to land as soon as possible in fact there's a quote from the navigator who says he'll go crazy it's being assumed that the hill he's talking about is either the polish president or the commander in chief of the polish air force who was in the cockpit and in fact it was found that he had alcohol in his system so that also is believed to be one of the factors that led to decisions or lack thereof that ultimately led to this crotch and he said earlier was full was versing it's concern over the way the investigation was being conducted why wall thing. well the draft report concluded that pilot error was to blame for the crash poland including its representative to the i.a.c.
7:07 am
the president and the prime minister all found it unacceptable saying it was too vague that they believe there were various causes that led to the accident we do know that in reaction to this final report done of two of the polish prime minister has put his vacation short and is heading back to warsaw we also know that the polish parliament is set to meet and discuss this final report and of course it's hoped that they will accept it not. and poland can move on after this tragedy. we do we did speak i should say to several experts one of them told us what he thought about how that the investigation was conducted. my experience with the russian investigators has been very good they're very high quality organization and i believe that it was the investigation was generally carried out in accordance with the international civil aviation organization and which is the international standard for accident investigation. now with this final report delivered we
7:08 am
now know that a criminal investigation will be launched but so far the committee is saying that there's not a single person that can be blamed for the accident. just by jacks to posing and analyzing all available materials of the case the criminal investigation authority will be in position to render a legal and well founded decision that will determine the causes and conditions which have led to the syria crisis and why they did five there is guilty in the accident. well this case is far from over despite that final report being delivered obviously poland and russia will follow that criminal investigation to the end and perhaps more light will be on this tragedy that killed polish president lech kaczynski his wife and most of the country's political elite because the investigation is still drawing huge amounts of interest from both poland and russia
7:09 am
as he said there came many thanks in the seventies and now we are reporting for r.t. is the interstates investigation commission has delivered the final report into the fatal air crash involving the polish president's plane near smolensk last april as nice was saying you can watch it in full on our website. dot com ok we're live from the russian the capital more news to come this hour including the imported illness that lives in britain. i was. ashamed to be to me maybe because i come from sri lanka originally boils a disease of poverty and. she is back and spreading from the u.k. both to the worst levels in western europe some same as i did government spending could be or tissue lives are at risk also. and i see saugus happy ending the last of the high rise townships with three hundred people all is being led to

you what you need to. stealing music to look at all the resources of the. better. right here. if you want. millions in something for the finalized ship that has been stung call functions far east coast more than a three hundred crew members have endured a two week ordeal but a now paying a score to through the frozen seas by two ice breakers but it's no easy task is it the naked eye job explains. all the ship rescue operation has entered its final stage while the two ice breakers are still working hard to but all this extrusion really tough weather conditions that have made this mission so challenging the admiral more current than the cross-in eyes breakers are now in the sea of a horse rescue in the larger of the two vessels that have got stuck increasing
7:19 am
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 on 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 noise 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 four bustles could finally have for open waters more than. we're expecting the ice breakers and the supply ship to reach the refrigerator vessel within the next twenty four hours of the vessels moving continue towards the open on sunday we will have to be patient i believe we should
7:20 am
consider creating a system but it would help counter such emergencies in this case we have to wait for several days used for the operators of the ice breakers to coordinate. actions that will slow you ice sheets or grew dramatically over those days before told you the full what we know that there is no immediate danger to any of the three hundred crewmembers on board the supplies she found thirty five crewmembers on board the refrigerator the smallest ship as they have enough supplies of food and drinking water on board will most go and local authorities of course are monitoring the situation with the rescue operation closely local authorities are now covering the bills that are covering the costs of the soap ration of this mission but once the vessels are home and sailors are also home and dry of course this will be the company's the owners of the ship which will help to pay out the costs back in december last year russia's transportation ministry and agency had santa long calls
7:21 am
to all say less working in the area not to how it will receive boy just this sea of a hold scan the civilians in particular a very difficult place for sailors to never gave them 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 had it and some part ships got stranded in those freezing waters one of the one trawler managed to freed up 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 breakers. now portugal's breathing a faint sigh of relief from raising over one and a half billion dollars in his yearly bond auction but it comes at a price with investors demanding high interest rates for risking their money in the debt strained country well it's being seen as a test of whether portugal will need
7:22 am
a year as a bailout like a struggling economy partners greece and ireland and let's talk now to professor dr marcus the who's available scientists from berlin university he joins us live now from brussels a perfect example many thanks for joining us now portugal has had a much needed cash means hasn't it but is it enough to stave off those who think it will still need a bailout. i can hardly understand you the loan is very bad could you priest besides your other questions about of course portugal has had a much needed cash released recently but do you think that it is and no to stave off the need for a bailout if some people say. well you know i feel great sympathy with the nation. extremely strenuous in the effort to regain the competitiveness of the competitiveness of the portuguese economy is the core problem is the fundamental problem so this is the problem we cannot solve by new bailouts by funding portugal
7:23 am
. probably needs a more fundamental treatment and i don't know where this treatment can be given within the eurozone but as a matter of fact. party politicians will try to do their utmost to rescue. the sport to go as well as the island and greece will go deep would you say all portugal's problems. the problems of the photograph is that during ten years of membership within the european union. the economy has not increased its competition . but on the contrary they have lost competitiveness. i would have given a definite and exhausting explanation which other causes but as a matter of fact today portugal is totally trapped by the situation. if we if portugal were not in montreal union the country would simply devaluate they would
7:24 am
approach operate to what we call a competitive devaluation in order to gain some time in to reorganize the economy with the current parity of you it is almost impossible for. portugal to put the country again on the path of growth all the signals are not too bad all germany and france are reportedly pushing lisbon to take the money to stop the rot from spreading to countries that just spain a much larger economy but how secure is the resigns integrity right now. if france and germany are pushing. portugal to a protest of under the so called you a stabilization umbrella this would be totally contrary to all european roots because it is only on the request of the country concerned to. ask for financial support brought for any of the european nations and certainly not for the franco
7:25 am
german condominium to push. but as a matter of fact it is obvious that. spanish banks are very much exposed to portuguese risk and perhaps within the commission will spare a thought the strategic thought that it's better to make a preventive strike to bedo portugal instead of having stayed late with the collapse of spain we're looking outside of europe now japan and china we know valid to help here by buying into it with bombs so what's the asian motivation here do you think. well this is the quote all because the term to china and other powers to buy themselves into european politics for a very limited sum of money making a very political investment in order to gain the upper hand on strategic decisions
7:26 am
within the european union. i think if we can really save the euro with the. investments from china. we we are really lost so i consider these attempts of china other countries. as critical to say the least. many thanks for that professor dr malke is speaking to us from brussels and helping us to understand a little bit more clearly the economic prognosis for portugal. ok moving on now known as the white plague nineteenth century england tuberculosis is now increasingly a modern day mess for those living in the u.k. viewed as the t.v. capital of western europe the illness. has been connected to poverty and immigration but it's almost discovered the infection is now spreading beyond those the high risk groups. it's a fatal illness most common in the victorian era as
7:27 am
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 than nine thousand cases diagnosed annually the reasons for this increase is largely due to the number of people who arrived in the u.k. with infection tb infection. usually would have acquired the disease because of the association of having lived in a country with a high incidence of tb. and also because of travel to to those countries britain 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
7:28 am
people who are poor and that's to do with. close proximity of poor immune system 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 diagnosed tuberculosis deep in my heart i knew something was wrong i'd stopped working i'd stopped doing all the things that i normally do a movie a live energy. but i've become the sort of role of the tired grumpy middle aged woman. doctors aren't sure where pereira picked up the illness but say she could
7:29 am
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. 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 a lot. it was what it was to do with sort of dampness it was d.h. lawrence it was not comfortable in my nice little move west london home pereira now has to take antibiotics for six months and will then be well statistically 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 right in the u.k. in the early.
