every russian family had to endure the force of stalin's repression. you do latest in science and technology from around. we've done the future.
2:01 pm
2:02 pm
tonight's poll and asks russia to carry out further investigations following the publication of the official report into april's presidential plane crash but its authors hit back claiming there's nothing more to say. despite a reluctance that the findings of this latest report all this prime minister says this war not spoil good relations with russia all the details from warsaw just
2:03 pm
a few months. also the start arms reduction treaty and russia's progress with the e.u. and nato are highlighted as the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov looks back over the kremlin's international actions of twenty ten. and the haitians who found refuge in the united states may be forced out of the country and away from their families in spite of the island's ongoing turmoil in the wake of a devastating earthquake. this is the r t news channel welcome if you just joined us it's ten pm thursday night here in moscow when i was kevin and our top story poland's prime minister says his country will carry out its own investigation into april's plane crash which killed the polish president warsaw has been expressing anger over the
2:04 pm
official findings and says that russian air traffic controllers should have stopped the plane from landing the authors of the report of defended their work and say no stone was left unturned caterina is out of for r.t. reports from warsaw. poland is accepting part of the responsibility for this plane crash and that of course is. a different statement from those that poland has made previously saying an investigation should be conducted into why the russian side has. just accepted responsibility that part of that part of the statement poland still hasn't changed despite the fact that the polish prime minister said that poland does accept part of their responsibility he says that it takes courage for their counterparts in this case russia of course in the investigation to do the same thing and admit the accept the other part of responsibility in the tragic plane crash so let me just. the goal is not
2:05 pm
a compromise but a complete disclosure of the truth diplomacy and politics cannot hamper the presentation of the facts on efforts to alter the facts the facts are facts on the rule polish investigators working on adding the parts of the report to the missing changing what is already we assume responsibility for some of the causes of the crash for the courage and commitment to fairness needed this doesn't know the fact that the other side too should have the courage and readiness to expose the whole picture of what happened because despite the fact that it is. asking russia to operate perhaps even the. international organizations in the process. which report of course has caused this. diplomatic discourse has already said that its report is crying out. as mentioned in the finding of the
2:06 pm
technical commission the investigation into the crash ended and the report is final i want to underline once again that in accordance with the international laws the body. investigating aviation incidents must be absolutely impossible i must withstand political or any other interference of pressure and despite the fact that the polish prime minister's words do seem to suggest that the report published by the interstate aviation committee is not exactly well x. x. sept and here in poland he was very careful to underline that this tragic incident will not be a stumbling block in the good relations between moscow and warsaw that he looks forward to working closely with russia to complete the investigation in his own words and to find out every little fact pertaining to this terrible tragedy so that every i has been dotted and every t. crossed of course this as you can imagine has been the top story in poland for the
2:07 pm
last few days it still is today of course saying that russian air controllers are also partly responsible for the crash in smiling and that killed the polish president and his entourage saying that the air traffic controllers should have stopped the pilots from tempting to land should have forbidden them an opportunity and not granted them an opportunity to risk such a landing in such weather conditions however russian ministry officials transport ministry officials and various international aviation experts have said that an air traffic controller simply doesn't have that kind of authority i'm slightly surprised mileages remarks that the controller should have been the plane to land it has been said and proven many times that under the existing regulations it's up to the captain of the special international flights to take an independent decision only takeoff and landing you know the air traffic controllers simply didn't have
2:08 pm
the right to. you see the problem is not being brave enough to admit some facts it's much more important that it's an unborn to be investigation is. readout and so new body should be afraid of its finding its spots the are crucial for the safety of future flights and disasters like that the polish side at the moment doesn't seem to be willing to accept the report published by the interstate committee as unbiased and detailed enough to its liking of course we'll keep you updated with any developments from here the polish capital. is country in a zone of there a correspondent let's get some more know from david live monday is the operation to say yes it's really a flight global magazine mr lamont thanks for being with r.t. what bowlers initial reaction to this report was very critical but today we've heard a much milder response from the polish prime minister why do you think this is but it's a very very emotive happening for for the polish people i don't think it's difficult
2:09 pm
to imagine how emotive it is however i can tell you this if they try to if they decide they're going to carry out their own report in order to allocate a little more of the blame in the russian direction i think apart from some minor technicalities they will totally fail to do that unfortunately it's true that this is a very well it's a funny word to use but the traditional kind of accident this kind of accident is the kind of mistake which has been made by many crews throughout aviation history and from time to time as in this case those mistakes still made it was not a complicated accident at all poland has criticized the russian air traffic control side but experts on the russian side an official saying that the air traffic controllers had no authority to ban the plane from landing as we heard just now they can only strongly advise which we heard in the report yes and they did again
2:10 pm
why is poland still accusing them of wrongdoing. i think it's because this is such an emotive issue for the for the polish people the loss of a president of a lot of members of government of the tops of the churches and of course remember what the purpose of this flight was it was to commemorate something which means an awful lot emotionally to polish people the katyn massacre so i think that the polish government is i think desperate to put at least some of the blame in somebody else's direction but incidentally i completely go along with the russian verdict on the on the air traffic controllers hours incidentally the air traffic controller did not clear this aircraft to land he had with with hell's clearance for the aircraft to land and he wouldn't of had permission to stop an international flight like this one anyway if it had been a russian air force aircraft the controller could have told it to divert but an
2:11 pm
international airport is in international flight especially of this status the controller would simply go along and do everything that he could to help the captain achieve a safe approach yeah i wanted to ask you a little more about the chain of command and how it works on a presidential flight like this what we hear there was input from norm crewmembers in the cockpit no sure the captain i guess should have the final say no matter how senior that external voice might be harder to ask you do the same strict rules about keeping the cockpit sterile what we see in civil aviation apply also to the presidential flight such an important flight like this one. well it obviously didn't apply on this case frankly every operates and of course the polish air force and the polish army air force are their own operators they can declare their own operating rules they there isn't a set of rules that operates throughout the world that all the different militaries
2:12 pm
are required to adhere to but it is an internationally understood to be very bad practice to have during the final approach to the most critical part part of the approach. that is it is internationally recognized as best practice to have what they call the sterile cockpit that means there's nobody else in there apart from the pilots and the pilots don't talk amongst each other about anything except the conduct of the approach to things lessons will be learned from this so on either side of what you think poland's next move could be. well i'm sorry to have to say this but the the whole flight was not planned in a very professional way and when i looked through the report yesterday as a incidentally i'm a former military transport pilot myself so i could put myself in these guys position they didn't conduct a. top of descent approach a pre descent briefing and therefore the crew instead of acting as a crew as
2:13 pm
a group they were acting as a series of individuals and a lot of mistakes resulted from this there is a distinct possibility that if they had the there's a distinct possibility that actually the interruptions on the flight that the presence of non crew members on the flight deck prevented them from carrying out a brief but that's not the fault of the russian investigator slim or you're a man of many many many years experience is there anything as you see it anything more that the russian side could have done here. to be honest i don't think there is anything more that the russian controllers or the russian organizers of this event could have done one of the things that the russians would have liked the russian controllers at smolensk would have liked to have done was to offer more assistance to the pilots during their descent but the pilots never asked for that assistance and the russian controllers assumed quite correctly as it turned out
2:14 pm
that the russian that the polish crew were carrying out a descent using their own on board navigation aids and they didn't make use of all the facilities on the ground this is what i mean about this flight not having been very professionally conducted which when you consider what level of a b. ip flight this was it's absolutely staggering i think if the polish really try and turn this one over again they're in for nasty surprises if they haven't already had them have a limb on the operations the safety of from the flight global magazine thank you for being on the line tonight from london this appreciate it. all the day's news now the russian foreign minister the main events that shaped moscow's international policy of twenty ten so the goal of rob said that he hopes russia and nato will be able to find common ground over a joint missile defense project natal in overcover has more. the year two thousand and ten will go down in history as the year of radical change in the relations
2:15 pm
between the two countries also as the year of signing a new strategic arms reduction treaty and the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said he's very happy with the work the two countries have done in two thousand and seventeen through their relations and what it takes for another successful years simply for the two countries to fulfill to fulfill the promises they made to each other last year this year also this year has been very important for washington's of cooperation with the european union as many european leaders have expressed support for that that he would be in security treaty proposed by president with a different they expressed that they are supposed to support that in principle and today russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has said the trash is prepared to be patient with dialogues and that one. or two of the good word are you able to visit russia's proposal of a new system of european security doesn't mean we're expecting our partners to prove it once we want to get together and talk about the problems of your atlantic security but we haven't yet agreed on how to solve these problems some don't want
2:16 pm
to change anything they want to keep european security nato centric others who are more far sighted realize that nothing will work with cooperation with russia as an equal partner all we want is a deep discussion on all levels of cooperation another problem that was in the spotlight off today's press conference is iranian nuclear program last year a bush era nuclear power plant built by russia began operating in technical modes and just in a couple of weeks time it will finally start bringing out tricity to every indian's homes today love of a sound that says russian principal agrees to the idea of international independent observers visit a new nuclear power plant stadia that was suggested by iran visit to the plans for inspection in order to ensure their peaceful purposes nonetheless lover has said that. it's in no way should replace the six party talks most of us said that he's
2:17 pm
got high hopes for two thousand and eleven and tourism bhatia major corporation has stressed that despite the speculations russia has never seen nato as a threat and say he actually sees. the status of the relations between russia and nato changing in the near future dramatic. nato is not our strategic partner however as the russian needle summit in lisbon we agreed to move towards a strategic partnership this is a breakthrough in relations as a first time such a goals being said on such a high level by the leaders of russia and nato are good you would like our relations with nato to be free from stereotypes of the past we would also like to make sure nonexistent problems are not forced upon our relationships that were so your moves into school in two thousand and ten has also been very important here in terms of that there are those relations because the talks began on creating a joint and sorry missile defense shield in europe with the participation of russia
2:18 pm
and nato and of course this is something that needs to be worked on a lot this year according to the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov as by achieving this anti-missile defense joint anti-missile defense system this will be a final blow to the heritage of the cold war that still remains in minds of some politicians according to law. still to come on i'll tell you just a few moments in fact they all read the whole read like debate plane that is arguing over a proposed ban on sex in the back pages of newspapers but how that affects the world's oldest profession we're trying to find that out and a new russian agent. of the i said xander of education appears to be the latest spider go out in the cold but all is not as it seems to the sequence a bit later. a year after the ravaging earthquake life on haiti is racked by color of political turmoil and painfully slow reconstruction but for thousands who find refuge. united states the future is no brighter as many asian immigrants are facing deportation
