inexperienced crew members bad weather and the pressure to lend from passengers well let's cross live to get more of a former. russian foreign ministry has addressed the results of the investigation and polish criticism tell us what has been said. and we have heard from the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov who were dressed not only in the findings and the report of the international aviation committee but also credits. isn't that have been published in international media ever since the report was made public the russian foreign minister said that the report. that was presented by the committee is sufficient and up to standards not only russian standards but international standards that all of the investigations were completed not only by the russian side but by a joint committee set up of russian and polish authorities and therefore to
5:05 am
criticize this document would be to shoulder very little faith in not only the russian investigators but also for the poles to show a little faith in their own investigators of course this report was completed with the presence of both the authorities the polish side now however wanting to make sure that it receives additional documentation such as the black boxes we have heard of the polish prosecutor general in this the city man speaking on polish television saying that they will request the transfer of black boxes to the polish side for further investigation but the main focus of the russian foreign ministers address was that this report should be criticised or undermined because it has been deemed satisfactory by officials both in russia and in poland and anybody criticizing those findings is just attempting to use the tragedy and the subsequent report to their own perhaps political strategy as
5:06 am
a means. towards. which the investigation has been held in accordance with international norms sit out in the chicago convention it's been conducted upon the request of the russian and polish governments taken by the international committee and when are polish colleagues say it's a russian investigation that's not true it's an interstate institution an independent center and this technical commission based its conclusion on the opinions of major experts from poland russia. and even the u.s. . so the russian foreign minister there are addressing the concerns that have been voiced here in poland about the report published by the interstate aviation committee. report. has reacted angrily of course to the conclusions in the phone report. so what. do you think the mixed up.
5:07 am
well we've already heard that the polish prime minister donald tusk has cut short his vacation he was spending some time with his family skiing in italy and as soon as the report was published and comments started flooding he cut short his vacation and returned back to poland in order to speak to. minister officials and also to hold a press conference we don't yet know when exactly this press conference will take place but we do know that mr tooke has said he will address various concerns that the journalists in poland have voiced and we are of course waiting to see what that press conference what details will rise from that press conference but of course because this is a very emotional subject for the polish people criticisms and various comments have been flooding ever since the report got published we also know. polish television channels and newspapers have been covering this story from all possible
5:08 am
angles touching not only on the polish reactions but also on the coverage given in russia we've even seen experts from our very own broadcast on polish television and few colleagues of mine excerpts from their live reports were shown but we do know that despite various criticisms such as from the late polish president's brother who said that the findings of the committee were a farce and a joke i went on to criticize the report we do know that despite some criticisms a lot of the officials all. in the poll the sides have said that this report is a satisfactory one that the job done by the russian and polish sides together should be accepted as it is and criticisms are just a way for people to advance their own political ideas. that we are glad that this report exists this is a step that has brought us closer to the next stage finding out the circumstances
5:09 am
that led to the tragedy. i must admit that the russians are right again i don't want to agree with the russians but this is the truth of course we can look for guilt and blame someone else. the polish side of course wanted to. share some of the responsibility for the crash with the russian side some even attempted to say that the aviation control. operators should have for baden that plane to land and not relied specifically on the pilots to make that decision either so countered those criticisms saying that at the end it is the pilot's responsibility and no tower control control room dispatcher has the authority to actually for bid a pilot from deciding to attempt a landing and just finally how will this report receive boy international explodes
5:10 am
. when we've had of course the reaction not only in poland and russia but within the international community international media is covering this subject as well it is of course a plane crash of this magnitude that almost ninety people dead amongst them not only the polish president and his wife but most of poland's political elite a tragedy of such scale of course resonated within the international community many newspapers are already saying that those criticizing the fighting is over are attempting to use the findings to their political advantages others do seem to express the opinion that the bottom line of any plane incident and the responsibility for it that incident ally is solely with the pilot that it is the pilot's responsibility and therefore his ultimate decision to make a choice about the course of the plane whether to attempt to land or not. there is
5:11 am
no argument about who is in charge when the situation arises in the pilot. and the speaker that. we should not go tracing on. the people to blame because. we don't like the results and we've had numerous examples in the past people. have got to get into a certain place have got to land in a certain place it's happened in america many many times. of course. many people both here and poland and abroad have already voiced their skepticism but most seem to agree as my colleague in the cinelli found out that this report is a painful but necessary step in closing. this tragedy the tragedy of the plane crash and moving on. for the first time the last seconds are heard before

polish president lech kaczynski plane crashed near smile now thanks to an on board . 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 plus were inexperienced flying in bad weather the interstate aviation committee highlighted what they found to be the main causes behind the tragedy in their final report you know when i fairly or to make a timely decision to land at the reserve airport based on multiple we coming days sions about poor weather conditions at smolensk airport descending lower than the
5:13 am
safe minimum height necessary to make a second landing attempt failure to react properly to automatic amounts 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 blind 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
5:14 am
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 international standard for accident investigation who did russia have a turbulent history and it was hoped to politics one card 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 opened. the committee concluded that no single person can be blamed for the accident but now that the final investigation report has been delivered
