before polish president lech kaczynski his plane crashed near smolensk turn on one board. in the crew and nord warnings from the aircraft's automated system to the whole lap and advice from the air traffic controllers to land at an airport plus or inexperience in flying and bad weather the interstate aviation committee highlighted what they found to be the main causes behind the tragedy in their final report it was no slam on your earlier to make a timely decision to land at the reserve airports based on multiple recommendations about poor weather conditions at similar airport descending lower than the safe

minimum height necessary to make a second landing attempt failure to react properly to us magic amounts to those are the reasons which led to the tragic crash of the aircraft into the land and the death of those on board. the findings also claim 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 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 a very high quality organization that i believe that it was the investigation was generally curat out in accordance with the international civil aviation organization and which is the international standard for accident investigation who did russia have a turbulent history and it was hoped politics one car of 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 the case is far from closed as the next chapter to find those accountable for the tragedy is zero 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 sat 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. the head of the polish interior ministry has welcomed the report saying it will pave the way for finding out the full truth about the tragedy. we are glad that this report exists this is a step brought us closer to the next stage finding out the circumstances that led to the tragedy that's. coming there from the head of the polish interior ministry on the day the final report of the smaller plane crash was released. the tragedy that shocked the world. the tester the.

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. that 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 right believe there is to have after this our t. washington d.c. . he writes groups of old rally of the white house meantime calling for granting them a person to be close to very much to represent one hundred seventy three men still being held captive of his christian for reports. as unless you were here for the

ball they call themselves anti torture i know with a group called witness against torture and it's nearly 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. they start of the. ali 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 all 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 that he 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. colonel morris davis a former chief prosecutor of guantanamo says he decided to walk out on his job because the u.s. military justice system is hypocritical and politically motivated my policy for two years had been we would not use any evidence of taking 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 time 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 denied an opportunity to plead their case. and just let you know there's a more of the current debates around going ton of a prison on our website out c dot com this in fact is what we've got online for you tonight surrounding a subject a teen discusses the controversy surrounding the descension center with human

marcus kerber spoke to senior political scientists from burning university he says portugal would cope much better if it would its problems if it wasn't an e.u. member de portugal is totally trapped by the situation. if we told you we were not in. union of the country would simply devaluate in order to to gain some time to reorganize the economy with the current parity for all for you it is almost impossible for. portugal to put the country go on the path of growth this is the problem we cannot solve by new bailouts by funding portugal was probably needs a more fundamental treatment and i don't know where this treatment can be given within the eurozone and staying with the story next hour will be told to pretty sure there's no matter how hard the eurozone paddles to stay afloat the prospects are nonetheless bleak. i think person i think the euro will collapse and soon i

think it could be down really february it 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 that the markets aren't interested they see through it they will bring it down and that's 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. tuberculosis speech is known as the disease of poverty. and it was widespread in europe in the nineteenth century but now in the united kingdom it's on the rise again as the country's been named europe's tb capital while the u.k. is one of the world's major aid providers to fight the disease or if it is it won't be able to tackle it back at home. 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 than 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 have believed 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 western europe pulls 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 reuters it can affect everybody but most commonly it affects

people who are poor and that's to do with arab spring when you're in close proximity of live 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 tbs 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 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 role the tired grumpy middle aged woman doctors. sure where perera 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 a lot. 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 cases of tuberculosis the way they solved that problem was by pumping vast sums of money into it 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 at home. or abbott's r.t. london. are due to you know to go out on the ongoing rescue operation to free a final ship trapped in ice off russia's far east now so it could take another few more days to get the job to icebreakers are making a second term to tow the coming factory ship with still three hundred people aboard to safety but weather conditions are deteriorating it's no easy task as art is a country over explain. the ship rescue operation has entered its final stage while the two icebreakers us still working hard to battle this extremely tough weather
