inspiring people with enthusiasm. but was everything really that good and was allowed to speak out. though she shared her thoughts only with her diary it all became evidence in the trial but counterrevolutionary activity. the evidence which condemned to a label. the diary of a soviet school on oxy.

i mean is there a psychological pressure on the crees lot of experience blame for the plane crash that killed the polish president as the official investigation delivers its verdicts. also out the most notorious that prison wrong ptolemy bay

enters its ten yeah protests are held in the u.s. calling on president obama to finally deliver on his promise to shut it down. and that all the surge of tuberculosis in the u.k. the contrary that's pumping huge sums to fight the white plague abroad cruzan able to tackle it's alarming spread it heard. a very warm welcome to you this is live from moscow and alice have it the media because of the polish presidential plane crash last april was the crew's refusal to land akmal turners of their field the investigative committee has presented its final report on the accident which killed the late polish and ninety five others

all season he said now we have the details. for the first time the last seconds or heard before polish president lech kaczynski is plane crashed near smug around. the crew ignored warnings from the aircraft's automated system to pull up and advice from air traffic controllers to land at an alternate airport class or inexperience and flying in bad weather the interstate aviation committee highlighted what they found to be the main causes behind the tragedy in their final report less revenue per year to make a timely decision to land at the reserve airports based on multiple becoming day

sions about poor weather conditions at smolensk airport descending lower than the safe minimum height necessary to make a second landing attempt failure to react properly to automatic amongst those other reasons which led to the tragic crash of the aircraft into the land and the death of those on board. the findings also claimed passenger pressure on the crew to land as soon as possible played a vital role in the incident here is evidence the crew was afraid of disappointing someone if they didn't land. it's not clear whether the navigator was referring to the polish president or the commander in chief of the air force who was in the cockpit and later alcohol found in his blood and poland was not satisfied with the draft report compiled by the i.a.c. which found pilot error was to blame and insists various factors at play caused the accident but aviation experts have confidence in the findings my experience with

the russian investigators has been very good they're very high quality organization that i believe that it was the investigation was generally carried out in accordance with the international civil aviation organization annex thirteen which is the internet. standard for accident investigation who did russia have a turbulent history and it was hoped politics would cause the investigation 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 yet the case is far from closed as the next chapter to find those accountable for the tragedy is no point. the committee concluded that no single person can be blamed for the accident but

now that the final investigation report has been delivered a criminal investigation can be launched and perhaps more light shed on the crash that killed the polish president his wife and most of the country's political elite and he's now a r t moscow. wants on the bomber from the voice of russia radio station believes internal politics is pressuring the polish ships of blaming russia for this tragedy the current prime minister and president of poland under pressure from the right wing of their embattled because they're too old to be not tough enough for russia so they have to maneuver to show they're not making too many concessions to russia and will try to push their own vision of the air crash including trying to find the share of the blame of the russian air controllers you know the tidal wave of compassion that we saw after the crash was unprecedented in the polish russian

relations and i hope the two sides will try to try to find a compromise on this issue and the two so scientists will not be in a state of. hostility. john thomas paula from the voice of russia read a station there. the tragedy that shocked the world. because the tester feel that you could just president. the truth be. shipping lines in the kitchen ski plane crash. now the most notorious prison of the twenty first century the guantanamo bay detention center wrong by the u.s.

and cuba has entered its tenth year it's still holding inmates despite president obama's election promise to close this with a prison has become synonymous with human rights abuses jan office reports he was far from happy at having america's. carried out on its soil. its a place forever immortalized by images of torture known by its abbreviation america's notorious detention facility in guantanamo bay cuba has been the source of world condemnation 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 green under which u.s. has to be. from earliest 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 bench you've been governing under under threat under duress and in clear contravention of international laws like the vienna convention the u.s. 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. after the cuban revolution swept the island nation one nine hundred sixty its revolutionary leader fidel castro cashed only one check and he insists it was an accident that no checks had been cashed tense in protest no such as he would ever be signing today knows a treaty signed today would never be internationally recognized the united states. will hunt down. and punish those responsible after nine eleven the bush

administration swiftly turned its military base into 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 a trial the afternoon 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

culture 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 right believe there is to have profits are t. washington d.c. . human rights groups have held a rally at the white house cooling for one ptolemy bay prison to be closed. one hundred and seventy three men still being held captive. was that. they call themselves the anti torture or not of this is now with a group called witness against torture and made its 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. 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 war 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 haven'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. morris davis

a former chief prosecutor says he decided to walk out on his job because the u.s. justice system is hypocritical and politically motivated. my policy for two years had been we would not use any evidence obtained by waterboarding or any of the other enhanced interrogation techniques we are building the case is 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 made 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 at

guantanamo you may have seen recently as secretary of state hillary clinton criticize the russians for prosecuting the yukos executive for a second time he's been in court twice you've got one hundred seventy three minute guantanamo they've been there for nine years that have never set foot in a courtroom so we're hypocrites you know to condemn others for upholding the rule of law maybe not the way we would but we've got one hundred seventy three people that we have to an opportunity to plead their case. well you can always check out more on the current debates surrounding guantanamo bay prison on our website dot com here's what's online for you right now a lot easier says the controversy surrounding the tensions with the human rights lawyer courtney bush who says the torture techniques all i've used on the majority of inmates her interview is available online right now. none to in all the news on

the web site find out why at least sixty thousand asylum seekers will be left to live in the u.k. what it actually means for the security of the country and europe as a whole. portugal's breathing a faint sigh of relief after raising over one and a half billion dollars in its yearly bond but it's come at a price with investors demanding high interest rates risking their money in the debt strained country it's being seen as a test of where the portugal will need to euros in bailout like it's struggling currency partners greece and ireland told the markets the physical scientists from berlin university says a portugal would march better with its problems if it wasn't and remember. we trapped by the situation. if we thought you were not in.

the country would simply devaluate in order to gain some time in to reorganize to the economy with the current parity for all for you it is almost impossible for. portugal to put the country together all the parts of growth this is the problem we cannot solve by new gay louts by funding portugal was probably needs a more fundamental treatment and i don't know where this treatment can be given within the eurozone. when i next hour we'll talk to a british m.p. who says no matter how far the eurozone paddles to stay afloat the prospects are bleak. person i think the euro will collapse and soon i think it could be down really february could collapse its always been a political project and that is dangerous because you cannot throw billions or

hundreds of billions even after a political project the markets are interested if they see you through it they will bring it about what's going to happen you cannot push water uphill you can't make pigs fly and you cannot force all these countries and economies together and force them into this this your oh it doesn't work. well it's a very close this is known as the disease of poverty and it was widespread in europe in the nineteenth century but in the u.k. it's on the rise again as the country's been named europe's capital and while the u.k. is one of the world's major aid providers to fight the disease there are fears it will be able to tackle it at home while he's there and reports. 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 how we lived 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. pulled 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 rise it can affect everybody but most commonly it affects people who are poor and that's to do with paralyzing 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 where tb is a problem in the u.k. it's no longer limited to the poor or those with chaotic lifestyle 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 of all of energy. but i've become this 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. not deliberate but a lack of cleanliness a lack of hygiene in iran due. to me it was because it was consumption it was what mimi dies of in la you know 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 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 upsurge in cases of tuberculosis the way they sold about problem was by pumping vast sums of money into it ironically the u.k.

is 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. now a rescue operation to free a final ship stranded in the. far east coast might take another few days to icebreakers of making a second attempt to tell you the canning factory ship to safety experts say deteriorating weather conditions white house progress through efforts the three hundred people who remain trapped on board are said to have adequate supplies of food and the rescue operation has so far two other vessels the three russian ships became trapped in the sea of two weeks ago. ok other major headlines from around the world this hour and ministers as well our political party

and its allies have announced their resignation from the lebanese government they say they're angry over the handling of the domestication to the assassination of former premier rafik hariri the findings are widely expected to implicate several officials the move comes a dangerous and composed autonomy of the lebanese government which several more ministers are expected to resign from within the coming hours. riots are raging in southern chile a with two women killed and. four others injured protesters around in anger at gas price increases which are reportedly due to troubles experienced by the state owned petroleum company twenty one people have been arrested with gas one of the countries that main imports the price rise count as promises made by the country's the president pinera. haiti is marking the first anniversary of the massive earthquake that devastated

the country over two hundred thousand people lost their lives and more than a million are still homeless because president. has held a sign of a massive grave former u.s. president attended the commemorations and the reconstruction efforts a large part of which he's overseeing. well as haiti's struggles to recover from the disastrous earthquake march of the aid promised to the poverty stricken nation never materialized peter viles cross-talk gas discuss who's to blame for this situation one year old that's coming up later this hour. the problem the real problem is that we have a system where the united states in the international financial institutions have decided what is development for haiti and they're using right now what we call this. interim haiti we construction commission to bring forth policies they hadn't

been able to do for a long time right now this interim reconstruction commission has basically taken over i want to focus here on what. he needs on trees he had room as an ideological problem because he is problem not ideological before interest is a failure you should tell now you should know the actual world where you have your you know that. you need to tell them to call in here we. are here to debate coming up in around ten minutes time right now that has got a business out there to me to get to see you and it seems any conflict may be a rising between russian batteries that's absolutely right russian oil producers are holding deliveries already it's a bell reese well pricing negotiations are dragging on the companies want to raise

the price of oil after minsk said it would be hiking transit terra's for oil deliveries to europe more now from artie's not only. gershon oil producers are insisting on a price rise by forty five dollars per tonne of timmins and also a twelve percent tariff rise on russian oil transits to europe russia annually delivers about twenty million tons of crude to ballerinas at a preferential price but minsk refined exports most of it to europe at a higher price in response last year russia imposed on its oil however last december of two mins gratified the agreement on the creation of the single economic space of russia belarus and kazakhstan moscow finally agreed on duty free oil deliveries for bella ruse on condition that minsk would return all the duties it received from reselling the russian oil at least one analyst is saying that the russian companies have reacted disproportionately to the hike in transit. the

increase of transit fees not significant and that means expenditure will rise but only one dollar per turn clear when russian companies are increasing their prices by forty five dollars return seems the companies are trying to compensate the losses they suffered from losing income from exporting oil products from bellew's the negotiations between russia and belarus are underway and in the meantime the russian oil transits to the european customers remain unaffected. deposit interest rates are continuing to decline in russia as people add to their bank savings the interest rates are among the country's top ten lenders now eight point two five percent on average bank deposits grew to more than two hundred ninety billion dollars last year russia's ten largest lenders hold seventy percent of all deposits take a look at the markets now european stock markets are high after portugal succeeded in getting a keenly awaited dead away and as u.s.
