each time the actors receive a standing ovation. thanks . but it should hardly becomes a surprise nearly every russian family had to endure the force of stalin's repressions.

tonight poland asks russia to carry out further investigations following publication of the official report into where he pulls presidential plane crash but its authors hit back claiming there is nothing more to say. despite a reluctance to accept the findings of this latest report polish prime minister says this will not spoil good relations with russia all the details from warsaw in

just a few moments. 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 haitians who found refuge in the united states face being separated from their families and deported back to the island in spite of its continued turmoil after the devastating earthquake. this is r.t. welcome it's one am here in moscow my name's kelly know in 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 also has been expressing anger over the official findings and says russia's air traffic controllers should have stopped the plane from landing the authors of the report though have defended their work

and said no stone was left unturned catarina zone of reports from warsaw. poland is accepting part of the responsibility for this my land 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. 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. is not a compromise but a complete disclosure of the truth diplomacy and politics cannot hamper the

presentation of the facts 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 there 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 so despite the fact that poland is calling for their investigation asking russia to cooperate perhaps even involving various international organizations in the process the interstate aviation committee which report of course has caused this new bout of diplomatic discourse has already said that its report is crying out. as mentioned in the finding of the 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 or pressure 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 explained i accepted 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 our has been dotted and every team crossed of course this as you can imagine has been the top story in poland for the last few days of course saying that

russian air controllers are also partly responsible for the crash in smile and that killed the polish president and his entourage saying that the air traffic controllers should have stopped the pilots from attempting 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 and slightly surprised mileage remarks that the controller should have forbidden the plane to land it has been saved 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 take off and landing you know the air traffic controllers simply didn't have the right to ban the landing you see the problem is not being brave

enough to admit some facts it's much more important that it's an unbiased an objective investigation is carried out and so nobody. should be afraid of its findings they are crucial for the safety of future flights and for the avoidance of disasters like that the polar 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. aviation expert chris yates says the investigation was thorough and carried out to a high standard there is nothing more to be said quite frankly i think they. the committee that did this investigation read job and. they found what they found which is that the primary blame should be one of the

truth. you know there is one important line in the transcript of the conversations between pilot and ground during the. final approach of the aircraft into the airport and that is that there is no condition for landing at this airport and quite frankly with that sort of information being given to the pilots the pilot should then made the judgment to follow traffic instruction and transferred to another airport nearby where better visibility better conditions for the landing might well have persisted. some polish employees believe the incident could be used for political gain and of parliamentary elections now. the political temperature in poland is hot for many reasons because of the social economic situation and first of all we are

approaching the parliamentary elections i am afraid that frankly speaking all this could firstly made. this debate ahead of the election more court and could be the main or one of the most important balls of. contention between the major political forces and secondly that this could. negatively. impact on polish russian relations i'd like not to be a prophet dinner and a bed. but such a day can exist. today's other top stories now russia's foreign minister the main events that shaped moscow's international policy in twenty ten. says he's confident that russia or nato will be able to find common ground over a joint missile defense project he also said he hopes for further improvement in

relations with the united states. the year two thousand and ten will go down in history as the year of radical change in the relations between the two countries all says 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 that 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 washing terms of cooperation with the european union as many european leaders have expressed support for that here in security treaty proposed by president would be different and russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has said the dr is prepared to be patient with dialogues on that one. for the good 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 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 chasity to every indians homes thought of as sad that says a 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 over us so that he's. got high hopes for two thousand and eleven interest of russian major corporation has stressed that despite the speculations russia has never seen major as a threat and say he actually sees. the status of the relations between russia and nato changing in the near future very much. 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 goal has been said on such a high level by the leaders of russia and you would like our relations with a new you know to be free from stereotypes of the past 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 anti-missile defense shield in europe with the participation of russia 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. you watching r.t. from moscow ahead in a few moments the red hot red light debate. arguing over a proposed ban on sex on the back pages of newspapers but how will it affect the world's oldest profession we're trying to gauge opinion a bit later and what do we have a new agent well it's obviously a superstar of the ice and xander vegetable but he does appear to be the latest spy to go out of the cold however all is not what it seems most of the secrets. a year after the ravaging earthquake life on haiti is right now by cholera political turmoil and painfully slow reconstruction but for thousands who found refuge in the united states the future is no brighter as many asian immigrants are facing deportation back to the island his miniport spoke to one family which risks

being divided. see a lot so for most american women can relate to janay montra built. a working wife and busy mother home with the kids while dad is at work we lay back we work hard so we can provide the best for our children but are also those crime our family or family that care we make plans for the future if the u.s. government gets its way. just cya janaya and tone will become forever fatherless. engine a will enter the pool of single us mothers struggling to make ends meet after all we wrap up at the home of the so i'm a bit of all my only hope is that the bills. at any moment jeanne montoursville the breadwinner and twenty five year u.s. resident can be torn away from his family. today the father of four works as a church custodian in manhattan tomorrow the haitian immigrant can be deported back

. back to the poorest country in the western hemisphere rocked by an earthquake and deepening humanitarian crisis. going to war to port. you know it's. you know it's. not a good thing and it's. and i was more for. last year's seven point zero earthquake killed nearly three hundred thousand haitians and left more than one million homeless a tragedy so grave the u.s. issued an immediate suspension on deportations for hidden immigrants yet last month the obama administration quietly lifted the ban resuming deportations for those with criminal convictions even those like jean montoursville who paid his debt to

society serving eleven years behind bars for selling drugs in the eighty's he was released from prison in two thousand. and. four. i used to almost. you know. you know. the very same day u.s. officials resumed deportations of haitian immigrants the state department issued a warning against non-essential travel to haiti alerting americans of continued high crime limited police presence lack of medical care and a cholera outbreak an epidemic so bad the united nations has made a one hundred seventy four million dollar appeal to fight the outbreak it's not good it is now spread all the way across the country because as you know color is a contagious disease it's affected over one hundred thousand people so far. and

over twenty five hundred people have perished from the disease. according to attorney sunita patel the deportations are a violation of the conventions against torture and the un declaration of human rights sending someone back to a situation where they are likely to die or are faced a situation where they are. facing the possibility of death is potentially a violation of our obligations under international law yet according to immigrations and customs enforcement up to seven hundred haitians with criminal records will be sent back this year. to a nation wracked by violence food shortages and disease a prospect that brings a feeling of fear to this american family a family broken up not by divorce but by their own government. and

obama who really needs to take a look at that consideration the separation of family. because we believe children . and the lives of fathers like jean are you believe in danger if or when his home becomes haiti marina port r.t. new york. is divided over a proposed ban on classified ads in national newspapers some say it would protect women from gun exploitation but with legal prostitution accounting for sixty percent of spanish classified ads it's also going to business. to investigate the back pages. some scan the headlines others go straight to the sports section and then there are those who are simply interested in these. so you open a newspaper in public about race seem like you're doing some serious reading catching up with the latest political developments but you may very well be looking

at a page that's causing much debate in spanish society and in most cases these classified ads serve as a cover up for the work of crime groups the prostitution mafia to be precise i said at the seventy percent of girls and young women were held are kept in confinement in apartments and the only way to contact them is stories poems to these ads if the ads are banned they can't be helped. but others hold a different view with some saying that banning the ads will not hurt the vice mafia but will hit those who willingly work in the sex trade and. our research shows that most of these girls become prostitutes on their own accord banning the as one stop human trafficking members of some feminist organizations think that prostitution is not the worst that can happen to a woman this is an issue for women sex appeal and many publishers and editors argue that because prostitution is legal in spain they are within their rights to run the

ads badger's was run from l. place one of spain's main newspaper says that until there is a law making it illegal to publish such ads this practice is unlikely to change if we knew that they are under these are the types of men who are shopping in the yellow shopping ok who will fight again against it. completely from parts from being from asia i mean we will have to wait until the government decides something about banks this is the touch me this week we come to whether or not her ties in band will stifle the mafia's illegal activities is being debated but for the newspaper business. is that struggle through the arrival of new media and a decent financial crisis a ban on sex ads is most certainly going to hurt does sarah celia r.t. madrid. just updated what we got few online in the new look web site r.t. dot com well we've been updating you

a lot lately on those ships trapped in the ice it seems the end is in sight no more than three hundred forty people on a ship stuck in icy waters way off russia's far east coast it's been going on for two weeks now. you can get the latest that ongoing saga online also. look at those dry this kid cringes yet to make his debut in germany super already has taken the world by storm slightly probably because of his peculiar look but to find out what it is and more about it our team told. some world news imbrie seriously president ben ali has announced that he will not run for reelection comes after ongoing violence that left more than twenty people dead across the country riots have been raging between protesters and police over food and fuel inflation and high unemployment in his televised address the president also said prices for food staples would be cut. more than two fifty people have died in just twenty four hours after flooding and landslides in southeastern brazil downpours called mudslides which destroyed mountain villages and highways leading thousands without

power officials say the death toll is expected to rise two rescuers are busy searching for any survivors tonight the number of dead across the country now stands at over three hundred seventy since the severe flooding began christmas. talking of floods in the flooded australian city of brisbane the water is slowly beginning to recede now after those pigs we saw the last twenty four hours but more than thirty suburbs a still deluged with many buildings completely washed away the reconstruction of roads and homes is currently the top priority for the government at least fifteen people have been killed by the floods since that began in november. on a bit of a lighter note last year spy spat between russia and the u.s. made headlines across the globe you may recall but now one american ad firm to started to cash in on the simmering scandal but turning a russian sports celebrity into the latent star of cold war deja vu all over itself when you do a little darker than. just the way filings really follow your russian spy or.

t.v. show and it shows superstar xandra best kid and his colleague pretend to do some covert late night spying after another session on the ice the washington capitals cap is no stranger to the advertising business either to get a quote actor on the side or another commercial featuring your so called of edge trick of nine goals is just impressed fans worldwide. in a few moments a former drug baron who was once responsible for flooding california streets with most obvious hard drugs tells us that our t. about the u.s. government's role in the narcotics trade.

freeway ricky ross is a street legit he went from being a poor illiterate aspiring tennis star to one of the biggest drug dealers in los angeles history after being part of an international drug ring and making up to two million dollars a day he's starting over from scratch and trying to build another empire this time the legal way twenty years of prison have turned this former kingpin into a fully literate activist who is trying to make a difference by keeping kids from following in his footsteps today he says with r.t. to talk about his rise and fall and to discuss his connection to the cia contra costa

oversea ricky ross thank you for joining us today what role did the u.s. government play in bringing crack cocaine into l a's poor black neighborhoods the government needed this money to fight this war when the grunt work are going to send him east is russia he gave a senate leases on hundred million dollars to fight with congress had cut off all the money from the contras so now the sandinistas had an event. reagan and bush had made the contras to pay pete. they felt that if russia took over nicaragua they would be too close to america they would be in our backyard i believe that they felt it was more valuable to sacrifice. a particular sector sector of america

and a race of people in america and order to save the whole country so they let these guys open up pipelines blando on norman messes. the rest of the crew to work within the ground connection because i knew about ten to fifteen different to go rob once that was all inside of this unit contra organization. that was selling drugs so why am i wound these guys or basically turning a blind eye because i don't think the government necessarily gave them the drugs or not but in a sense they sang to me because they turned a blind eye they knew that these guys were selling drugs but they did absolutely nothing about it i also believe that had they not let these guys sell drugs. is possible i would have never become a drug dealer what does that say about our government when they're looking the other way while a deadly substance is coming into our communities for the sake of fighting

a communist regime in central america. says that our government will sacrifice of people to accomplish to go and this is not the first time that they've done that we've known numerous times history where they have sacrificed expressly the black man in that case it's tough to hear that the ends justify the means they felt it was more valuable for them to keep russia out of america you know and for america to keep its way of life do you think that the cia or any other sort of government agency is still helping to funnel drugs into america. well i mean if we look at afghanistan you know when taliban controlled. afghanistan the flow of heroin was was almost zero point three and now it's you know hundreds of percent more than it was at that time so. it makes you wonder i mean you know what is really going on how can the taliban control drugs and now america can't you know

control you know heroin is on a rising. and it's afghanistan heroin they see a connection to the contras and the huge influx of drugs into los angeles was an expose wasn't made public until journalists k. web started to report on it gary was on a mission you know. he didn't approve what i did but he said that if i was in prison all other players should be in prison right there with me and that i should be used go you know justice should be. level you know what i'm saying not to where. you got political poor you got money or. if you can excuse justice that's how gary felt now in some speeches gay web talked about how the d.a. told them that.
