well sure kempinski. let me hold bill to let me let's go gold which includes. the latest news in the week's top stories a russian led investigation concludes pilot error was mostly to blame for the plane crash that killed the polish president last year but worse it calls the internationally backed findings and complete. russia and the u.k. look to the north as all giants have to be p.c. or multibillion dollar deal to extract tapped riches of the arctic together. and russian lawmakers approve a key nuclear arms reduction deal with washington they'll ratify before the end of the month after counterbalancing changes made by the u.s. senate to the new start treaty.

which we are to coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie poland has questioned the conclusions of a report into the causes of a plane crash in western russia which killed president lech kaczynski last april or so has launched its own investigation aiming to prove that some of the blame lies with russian air traffic controllers our season is now a reports on why the interstate and nation committee found in its investigation. for the first time the last seconds or heard before polish president lech kaczynski plane crashed near small downs during all onboard.

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. a failure to make a timely decision to land at the reserve airport 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 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 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 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 car 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 open and. 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 but i wasn't all criticism from the polish side as some found the conclusions by the interstate aviation committee fair answer artist explains why sort of bring closure to a very painful chapter in recent russian polish history the final report has opened a pandora's box of doubt denial and political mind games from rational disbelief

but the investigation is incomplete the chicago convention gives us the right to settle on a joint conclusion and the opportunity to strive for the acceptance of our comments the convention guarantees us the opportunity for discussions to find a common ground and we plan to ask moscow for consultations that would lead to a joint report acceptable to both countries to emotional outrage. but today we see the consequences in the shape of the reports blaming polish pilots in poland in general for this catastrophe and making it a one sided matter without any evidence we're dealing with speculation without any basis. but is this grief talking or shrewd political experience some believe mr kaczynski the twin brother of the deceased president and himself a failed presidential candidate could be attempting to use this tragedy to his political advantage the political temperature in poland is hard for many reasons.

and first of all we are approaching the parliamentary elections i am afraid that frankly speaking to all these. may this debate occurred over. more court and could be the main one of the most important contention between the major political forces well some of owning our political leverage in their sights others say the cause of the disaster is clear cut the. mistakes and failures. the reason that they were also some. of the mistakes and failures were the reason that both poland and russia

have insisted on keeping this debate from influencing the recent thawing ties but with a story far from over it looks like some in poland are keen to keep things for. polish newspapers that fill their front pages with strong action minded words war against the report toss curses the aviation committee we will find out the truth and so on but these headlines now that are how catchy are just words what actions the polish government will choose to undertake and how they will affect relations between russia and poland remains to be written. catherine as r.t.e. warsaw poland every asian security expert chris yates told r.t. he doubts any new investigation will lead the polish side to a different conclusion. there is nothing more to be said quite frankly i think they . the committee that did this investigation. job. they found what they found which is that the primary

blame should be. true. but you know there is more important in the transcript of the conversations between pilots. during the. final approach of the aircraft into the airport. that is that there is no condition for 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 transferred to another airport nearby where better visibility better conditions for the landing might well have persisted. but coming up in the program the bay worth human rights half song find out why the infamous u.s. attention center now as good now is still open and water is doing on cuban soil in

the first place. plus we've got the latest on wiki leaks founder julian assange who was fighting extradition from the u.k. sweden fearing he might eventually and in an american prison. and following the b.p. disaster in the gulf of mexico the oil giant is exploring new arises in search for profit and russia is now its number one choice b.p. has landed a multi-billion dollar contract with oil company rosneft and they've agreed to explore and extract the vast untapped natural resources of the arctic together artie's lore and its reports. it's a deal that both parties a calling a groundbreaking strategic global alliance russia's biggest oil company rosneft has signed a share swap deal with b.p. it's the first major equity linked partnership between a national and international oil company when it's done in five percent of b.p.

in exchange for a nine and a half percent share in the russian oil major ross next chairman deputy prime minister told r.t. it's the beginning of a new direction for the company. is working on a new strategy aimed at transforming the company into an international energy holding our deal with b.p. is of course part of the strategy they've gained a great deal of experience including the gulf of mexico oil spill cleanup operation b.p. has learned from this experience and our joint venture will be carried out with the greatest level of measures aimed at protecting the environment we've been working with b.p. for many years they are competent and have strong experience of russian companies the aim is that ross nafta and b.p. will team up to develop three areas on the russian arctic shelf that's potentially a lot of oil and gas down there which rosneft owns the license to exploit it's a huge area around one hundred twenty five thousand square kilometers and it won't

be easy to extract the resources the arctic the highly inhospitable environments and requires sophisticated technology and billions of dollars of investment but aside from the cash b.p. c.e.o. bob dudley says they've also got the life experience has been working with us now for twelve years now and we've been working on the arctic for since two thousand and five with ross staff working with charcoal and they know our capabilities are expression capabilities and i think to be honest we learned a lot about what happened in the gulf of mexico shaken the company of the core we're going to really focus on safety and respond as. for environmental care what we do the russian government's behind the deal and prime minister putin says all parties are ready for the challenge but. i would like to let you know that the government of the russian federation supports this joint operation this is a project that could become global and have

a significant influence on the world's oil and gas industry russian's arctic reserves are estimated to be five billion tons of oil and ten trillion cubic meters of gas such a project may require tens of billions of dollars of investment and state of the art technology and we are fully aware of the restaurant which is the optics a highly contentious area with many parties wanting a slice of the potentially lucrative pie but experts agree this deal will trigger a month but what lies beneath the exploration area that they're talking about is in the south car sea it's off the north coast of russia as far as i'm aware it's not territory that is disputed by anybody so i don't see this as being contentious in that sense it's being branded around the world as a breakthrough deal opening russia up to billions of dollars of investment now and opening a potential door to similar ventures in the future arguably this deal improves the u.k. energy security and it also puts b.p.

on the service financial footing following the massive losses it sustained from the gulf of mexico oil spill it's also a huge vote of confidence for the russian oil exploration industry your and its r.t. . the new strategic arms reduction treaty between russia and the us will be ratified and brought into force before the end of the month that's according to russian lawmakers have approved the deal during a second of three readings in the state duma the start treaty was signed by the presence of an abominable last year and should slash the two country's nuclear arsenals by a third was ratified by the u.s. senate in december after months of heated debate on. capitol hill congressman added several key changes forcing russian lawmakers to counterbalance those amendments to keep the tree in tap the hat of the state duma's foreign affairs committee told r.t. that the us is responsible for the lengthy ratification process constantine because the child also expressed fears washington could to paedo agreement in the future.

they amended with the senate resolution just very dramatically and they left no other option but to amend our decisions on the twenty fifth of january and we are going to. get these. two to add two more statements by this. are to be included in the. document as the star and i believe the risk is on the american side that they will proceed with the strategic not regional but strategic. defense system small not the current president not the current government but probably the next president the next government which has a completely different strategy on this issue and in case it happens here so the treaty may be damaged and yes there may be conditions for us to pull out of this

treaty but begin with we are not there yet and we still have time to make better agreements and to avoid any misunderstandings and that will be our way to be. where you want to live from moscow and don't forget add there is a lot more on our website twenty four seventh's but here are some of what's online right now at our t v dot com. gulf propaganda sunday january the sixteenth marks the twenty year anniversary of the first gulf war but it was a fight to free kuwait or to secure access to the country's oil reserves take a look back on our web site. plus an easy way of getting around during winter. through the snow or any other iterate check it out on our team dot com.

well this week portugal's prime minister repeatedly insisted his country won't be asking for a bailout from the e.u. because it doesn't need one jersey socrate is sad the country was on track to restoring its economy and valves to continue with strict measures such as pension cuts and tax increases his comments follow speculation that portugal is next in line for a lower their families and ireland the euro zone is currently in the grip of a debt crisis that is threatening to walk financial stability and experts fear portugal's demise could worsen the spanish economy financial advisor market as a bailout would solve the fundamental flaws in the concept of the eurozone and. this is not in any kind a way a final solution for the european debt crisis it is just buying time for these countries so that hopefully they will be able to get control of their fiscal

situation and the markets will start to to believe in them again that they're able to service their debt moving forward in reality what's happening is burdening this country with these countries a lot more debt to service and the jury is still out on whether they can actually turn their fiscal position around over the next few years you can't save all the banks and save all the countries because at some point someone's got to all which is the other option which we've been pursuing so far is that we just carry on printing money and everybody carry on printing money and we end up with hyperinflation and most currencies then become worthless so some stay someone's got to go but what we're doing is patching up patching up patrick up hoping that the issue's going to go away pushing the can further down the road the europeans have to start thinking about complete reform of the european structure. while several international envoys are taking part in the tour of iran's nuclear sites despite

many key powers including russia. turning down tehran's invitation russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov insisted such visits shouldn't be substitutes for fishel u.n. inspections western powers say the off her which was extended to representatives of many members of the un's nuclear watchdog but not the u.s. was an attempt to divide them and there's a national concern over iran's nuclear ambitions but to ryan says its program is peaceful and the offer was merely a goodwill gesture but experts believe any attempt to cause a rift well i. do so from ever there has been a start in negotiations or talks or whatever and didn't have a verdict out certainly there may be some people who thought that they could create the fish are already if but. you never managed to really break up. plus one formula. the behavior of russia and china just shows once again that it

doesn't work i think it's half expected such a reaction however the iranians wanted to show two things to their own domestic public that this we are ready to negotiate you have to see it but the second step the iranians did it again to which their own public namely the last about their own newly achieved technological progress but just not true but again it sends a message to do also of course inside iran who are highly critical of any engagement with the international community that both things iran can be solved comfort them and it wants to negotiate are important while the muslim tory is prison the twenty first century that one time a bay detention center has its tans year and there's still no sign president obama is about to fulfill his promise to shut it down one time i has now become synonymous with torture and as john hobbes records he was far from happy having america's dirty work carried out on its soil. it's

a place forever. immortalized by images of torture known by its abbreviation get america's notorious detention facility in guantanamo bay cuba has been the source of world condemnation where 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 agreement under which the u.s. has to be on cuban soil to kuantan a moment let's hear a piece. 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 den tube and government under under threat under duress and in clear contravention of international laws like the vienna convention

the us 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 the early runs after the cuban revolution swept the island nation one nine hundred sixty it's revolutionary leader fidel castro cashed only one check and he insists it was an accident no checks have been cashed sense and protest no such she would ever be signing today knows a treaty signed today would never be internationally recognized today 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 convenient you can ship to cuba

and never bring them to the u.s. mainland 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 or 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 country for the past over this past fifty years has said you know 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 fully there is this our t. washington d.c.

. where you leaks founder julian assange could end up facing the death penalty and you ask if he's extradited to sweden ask the fears of his lawyers according to legal papers released on tuesday he's attorney is attorneys are concerned a washington could seek a further extradition to prosecute a songe for espionage over the release of classified government documents he claims the accusations of sexual solti he's facing in sweden have been fabricated and bad the u.s. is behind out and one groupie an m.p. told r.t. the case is becoming over politicized. i'm sure there's lots of political maneuver . and so the powers that be a very difficult position the americans want to get their hands on the silence of now i think the game's up people can see what the european arrest warrants are. so my guesses are quite know what they're going to do fairly confident that they're going to come up with come some kind of cynical fix that will allow him are there

to go back to australia or possibly to go back voluntarily to sweden if some kind of deal is done about what charges will be laid against him but what we'll want to do i'm sure is put this whole problem media publicity about the european arrest because this is just this there are other legal instruments coming through which remove our freedoms in other areas of life all done in the name of integrating europe's legal systems. british m.p.'s have warned that tens of thousands of asylum seekers are now untraceable following a home office blunder one in seven may be left to live illegally in the u.k. because the border agency has built up a backlog of unsold files robin simcox from the sander for social cohesion says the regulations make managing the situation in iraq impossible britain is essentially lost control of who is coming into the country and once you can secure your borders you can't secure your country and this is a outrageous situation that's allowed to develop i think is

a huge problem with the britain's inability to deport generally. being part of the european union we often can deport people but country of origin because it may contravene the european convention on human rights on top of this there's a systemic problem where the huge backlog of cases and we have something like a half a million backlog of cases simply can't be processed and can't be dealt with quickly enough so you have a lot of people and net immigration last year into the u.k. was around two hundred thousand people more coming to the u.k. than leaving it. on top of the asylum seekers and the backlog and of course we're going to have a massive problem we just need to be much much stricter cried. on who should be allowed into the u.k. and i don't think we've got it in control in any. amount enough as it is. always not take a look at some of the stories from around the world and the to tunisia's politicians are due to resume crisis talks over the formation of a unity government after weeks of widespread unrest force
