says it's a ten year process all held in the u.s. calling on president obama to finally deliver on his promise to shut it down. under the upsurge of tuberculosis in the u.k. the country that is pumping huge sums to fight the white plague of broad proved on able to tackle it's a longing to spread out how a. very warm welcome to see this is all to live from moscow with me alice have it now the immediate a cause of the polish presidential plane crash last april was the crew's refusal to land at an alternative airfield the investigative committee has presented its final report on the accident which killed the late polish lead elections get a ninety five authors in these and now we have the details. the film that was put
9:04 am
together by the interstate aviation committee or i see 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. the committee highlighted what they believe are the three main causes that led up to those final moments and ultimately the tragic accident nurse revenue and writers
9:05 am
of 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 or failure to react properly to its magic commands 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 archie 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 also the crew didn't have enough experience to land in that kind of weather so that also is believed to be one of the factors. that led to
9:06 am
decisions or lack thereof that ultimately led to this crash 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 would vary as factors involved in this crash one of them being air traffic controllers that were directing flights over that region we spoke to experts though and one from the u.k. 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 attempt they can only advise them they cannot refuse them so it is surely. a 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 with this final report delivered
9:07 am
we 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. all to discuss this report i'm likely to reaction or to as i'm now joined by anton despond from the voice of a radio station this was fond of many thanks for being here so we've seen the reported earlier she spoke to polish army p. he still insisted that the actions of traffic controllers were not properly investigated although the report clearly states that the controllers did not approve the landing at the time so what's warsaw's official reaction likely to be. actually this report is not about who is to blame for the accident it only tell us what happened and why it happened so the official reaction i mean the official war so is trying to find out who's sure of the ground was bigger than the reporters not
9:08 am
supposed to see. a that so there will be further investigations made by both sides and we will have to expect some statements from the polish officials in the in the nearest future and the ante welsh in college really does seem to be quite strong in polish policy at the moment do you think it's possible the politicians in warsaw would factor finds improving relations with moscow for winning votes at home over this. well i think the current improvement of ties between russia and problems is quite a valuable asset for both sides so i don't think they're likely to sector fi's this . warming of the relations but the current prime minister and president of poland are under pressure from the right wing of their embattled because they're told to be not tough enough for russia so they have to maneuver to show that they're not making too many concessions to russia and will
9:09 am
try to push their own vision of the of the air crash including trying to find the share of the blame of the russian air controllers you talk about the improving in the warming in time between moscow and warsaw and thirty in the immediate altamont of the crash both countries will be coming together united in their grief how's that goodwill now evaporated. and you know there's a tidal wave of compassion that we saw after the crash was unprecedented in the polish or russian relations but i think that emotion that you can disappear quite easily and the heart of politics remains and the fundamentals of the russian polish relations have remained the same so possibly at the moment of the warmest feeling for the russian people and between the two so scientists and the two governments.
9:10 am
but it doesn't mean that the relations are going to do it because there are ways to meet halfway even on this investigation and we're going to remember that during his state visit to problems in madrid of the conclusions of the two sides must be identical so we'll see how much is at stake now and i hope the two sides will try to try to find a compromise of this issue. the two so scientists will not be in a state of. hostility. running high still on both sides of this. from the voice of russia radio station many things as. well the most notorious prison the twenty first century a one time obey detention center run by the u.s. in cuba has entered its tenth year well it's still holding inmates despite president obama's election promise to close it while the president has become

a detention facility declassified documents show the u.s. government used cuban soil to evade national and international law to interrogate terror suspects a strategy journalist pepe escobar argues is convenience you can't ship to cuba and never bring them to the u.s. mainland and they are going to live there for ever in a state of legal limbo most of the remaining one hundred seventy three prisoners at guantanamo bay have been detained there since the facility opened nine years ago awaiting 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's sovereignty for this reason because this is the only latin american country for the past over this past fifty years has said you know then you 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 rightfully theirs to handcuff this r t. washington d.c. . or human rights groups that held a rally out the white house calling for guantanamo bay prison to be closed to represent one hundred seventy three men still being held captive christian friends are with. of of all they call themselves anti torture not to this with a group called witness against torture and maybe it's yearly pilgrimage here to 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.
9:15 am
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 walter 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 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. mcconnell martha that's the former chief prosecutor may says he decided
9:16 am
to walk out on his job because the u.s. military justice system it's hypocritical. my policy for two years had been we would not use any evidence of talking about waterboarding or any of the other enhanced interrogation techniques were building the cases independent of anything the detainees said while they were being tortured suddenly i knew officials appointed above me that said look president bush said we don't torture and if he said we don't then who are you to question the president so you should be using that information to prosecute these people and that's when i said enough's enough it's been a real disappointment for me with the obama administration you know he said in january of two thousand and nine within one year will close guantanamo that was two years ago so he needs some backbone as well to stand up to congress and tell him that he's the executive that is his decision and to wrap this problem up it's been nine years which is just far too long there are one hundred seventy three men act one ton of oh you may have seen recently as secretary of state hillary clinton criticize the russians for prosecuting the yukos executive for

a whole. portugal's breathing a faint sigh of relief after raising a will want to own a home billion dollars in its yearly bond auction but it's come out a price with investors demanding higher interest rates for risking their money in the debt strained country it's being seen as a test of whether portugal will need a eurozone bailout like its struggling currency partners greece and ireland to mark as a political find us from berlin university says portugal but can't march better with its problems if it wasn't at each member. today portugal is totally trapped by the situation. if we if we were not in the tribune you know the

9:21 am
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 have believed in a country with a high incidence of tb. and also because of trouble to those countries britain has become known as the tb capital of western 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. 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 perils ring when you're in close proximity of living 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
