as well as pressure from officials to learn what causes of the crash polymer home wednesday to discuss the final report assumes that means that they're always keeping across developments we do know that the parliament will be reviewing this report by the interstate aviation committee in detail of course it found that inexperienced polish crew bad weather as well as pressure from high ranking officials on board the flight all ultimately led to the tragedy so far we've had mixed reaction from poland we understand they're going to try to get on the same page and find consensus from the prime minister donald to use a relatively diplomatic reaction from the current president borderline anti russian rhetoric and from the late president's family blake to blaming russia for the crash we've heard from experts and have understood from reaction that there seems to be a bit of an internal battle inside the country as to how they should be surely

react to this report but it is expected from these hints that we've had that the reaction could be less than positive but we heard from the polish interior minister as well as other high ranking polish officials on tuesday and basically they're looking to put the blame with russian air traffic controllers now that's despite international aviation laws which basically state that any final decision to land lies with the pilot and his crew but also that air traffic controllers can never deny a landing they can only advise to land at an alternate airport which we know from the cockpit recordings that was done several times in this incident in reaction to what we heard out of poland on tuesday the interstate aviation committee took an unprecedented move they published new transcripts of recordings that took place during that flight here's a piece of one of the conversations that was revealed. what are the weather conditions fog four hundred metres visibility temperature and pressure please

temperatures plus two pressure seven forty five seven four five there's no opportunity for landing thank you but if it's possible we'll try a landing approach weather permitting if not we'll proceed to a second circle one a one when you have enough fuel for a second circle after the landing approach yes we will making a landing approach is the captain's decision at the height of one hundred meters you have to make a decision minsk and vitebsk will be requested for a sidetrack have you ever made an ending at a military airfield of course polish one a one at one hundred metres be ready to proceed to a second circle yes sir flaps and wheels down high control horizon make a second circle make a second circle make a second circle where is it make the second circle one zero one. cool emergency crews hopefully that will add to poland and perhaps accepting this report we do know that the committee is confident that they have the evidence to prove their findings are accurate and thorough and that's also been deemed internationally by

experts around the world the family of the late polish president lech kaczynski has denied all the findings of the interstate aviation community and pretty much blatantly said that they believe russia is responsible for the death of lech kaczynski his son in law to be more specific claims that the plane crash was a planned a softer nation in revenge for future anti russian rhetoric also to prevent him from being reelected but many experts around the world that we've been speaking to in the past couple of weeks believe that first of all not all of poland believes that second of all that people in the country who do support these kind of accusations obviously have had a hard time trying to break with old stereotypes of russia as the enemy and it's certainly hoped at least diplomatically that that won't be what the polish parliament concludes today as they review this official report. on aviation security expert christie says poland's independent investigation cannot possibly find any new facts about the tragedy the final report has already details after

thing. the interstate aviation committee as far as i can see has done a perfect job of of this investigation all of the evidence we have before us now and i can't see that if the polish side is going to decide to carry out another investigation if the results will be any different from what we've seen and you haven't since the evidence so it is hard evidence it is factual and you know we simply can't change that with yet another investigation into the events you know we're talking about very clear instructions here from air traffic controllers to the pilots that there were no conditions for the landing the the weather conditions were such that the airport was below operating the pilots on board the aircraft should have taken note of that but quite clearly some form of pressure was brought

to bear so the psychological pressure or suchlike caused the pilots to take what amounts to a rush decision to attempt to make a landing that airfield on that. you with us he coming up in just a few minutes time media find out why a lot. is trading behind in many african countries in times of crisis. the clues they could go out to the world with the road mission the dilution one percent growth rate you're the reason. i could tell you i'm feeling very exhilarated right now seeing our fearless reports of london freezing newton's bread along with thousands of russian multimedia. russian president dmitry medvedev as middle east tour has reached jordan where talks have been fueled by potential energy deals he also you spend time in the

palestinian told me where he reiterated most days commitments to back a palestinian state with a capital in east jerusalem. at that in the gradual but following the visit for us so let's cross over to how you got there you know what's the outcome of these talks in jordan so far. well this is a working visit of the russian president to jordan but still king of the law the second did all his best to add as much pomp and ceremony to it as possible there were not any deals or major agreements on the table for signing today but it was part this visit a paunch of major proportions for the russia georgian economic forum which is due to take place in march this year and the two leaders will see them talk how they go into wall street konami ties their cooperation added to spirit today they also discussed plans for the construction of a nuclear power plant in jordan which several countries are beating to build and russia among those countries but of course all of that was on the sidelines of talks on the major on the top priority subject regional developments in the middle

east and the israeli palestinian conflict also the visit out the russian president to jordan points sides will be orthodox church celebrations of it before any of this is one of the twelve major orthodox holy days and these side kilometers outside of amman the capital of jordan where we are now is the place where thousands of christians flogging every year because it is believed to be the site where john baptized jesus christ this is the first time dimitri medvedev is making pilgrimage to this site as an orthodox christian is known to celebrate all those really holy days and he's always very keen on visiting the holy orthodox christian sites across. the russian president has been discussing the middle east peace process during this visit has been he will spend several months so far. well mitchum it it has rated one in palestine russia's position on the conflict which

actually hasn't changed since nine hundred eighty one then soviet union recognize palestine as an independent state today admits from a bet it was looking for a month from the middle east peace process is obviously stalled after three other members of the middle east quartet washington brussels and the united nations have so far been not able to persuade israel to make any form of concessions israel has continued to build settlements. in reaction to that palestinians refused to return to negotiations and russia is very keen to get engaged in talks with israel and palestine and palestinian president mahmoud abbas in an exclusive interview said that russia had very good chances to become a key. negotiator. really recognize palestine in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight it was also recognized by ninety other countries what do we expect from russia now there are

two things the first concerns the middle east quartet it's necessary to do everything possible to boost its activity so that it's similar to the role of say the european union we would like russia to convince the u.s. because it's the only country that's against the final statement containing new conclusions it will help us to have a better substantiated discussion with israel while promoting the peace process could also insist on its position in stopping the settlement activity in its relationship with the us and israel and on getting back to the negotiations table i think that russia is ready for that that's what president medvedev has reaffirmed during this visit. well india russia continues to pursue a policy in which a comprehensive and just settlement of these really palestinian conflicts can come about during the soviet period russia allied itself with much of the arab today and russia capitalizes on those long friendships when israeli diplomats held those that

strike which forced me from a bit of counsel a visit to israel it was jordan which hosted the russian president and those were jordanian security officials which accompanied him to the palestinian territories and this visit which came several weeks ahead of the middle east. in munich has definitely been already adopted a historic visit and has there's been a great deal of applause for it in march of their. children many thanks reporting live from amman all the crew being made in president if you could read that is middle east in twenty. now the chinese president hu jintao is in the u.s. for a four day state visit the two leaders are expected to hold discussions on the most sensitive issues confronting their nations from economics and trade to human rights policies experts say the u.s. president is a facing a much heavier pressure in order to bring clarity into what the u.s.

and china actually all strategic partners or strategic rivals will foreign affairs columnist simon to the things the u.s. officials won't shy away from challenging china this time. i think barack obama has a lot to do to persuade the american public and the american congress that he's sticking up to china he was accused when he went to beijing in two thousand and nine a cowtown that was a bit unfair but he didn't get very much achieved and he's had his whole succession of administration officials in the past week have been trotting out a whole shopping list of demands or requests or wish lists for chinese action and a whole range of areas as you mentioned in your introduction on the economy on the security on human rights and other issues which are which seem to matter more to the obama than they do for a president who american press reports white house officials say that obama is going to be much tougher this time while letting on a very lavish reception for mr who is behind the scenes in the tougher push in some

of these issues to defeat trade practices access to the chinese market and so on but whether he'll get anything substantive out of it in the short is i think questionable. we'll find out more on the chinese president's visit to washington on all website altie dot home while let's take a look at some of the other stories we have was well i'll find out what is new to vishal slamming the factions sense of brussels as inappropriate accusing the country's women of dressing like strippers. and why them may soon be little resting in peace in the desert symmetries he plans to turn them into the life and soul of swaths of.

media freedom in the european union is in decline that's the finding of an international organization defending the rights of journalists it's on your view suggests that some the e.u. countries report is around pressure from their governments and are often forced to reveal that also is one such country is love fear and r.t. . journalists in the baltic states. with professional persistence latvian t.v. reporter. interviews a local politician in twenty years as a journalist she has done hundreds but one of them got her in serious trouble an expose on a security breach in latvia state revenue body and it with police in her apartment was forced open the doors and went into my flat and then they showed that they had a security search they had a search warrant one say took my computer and information and i got they also

acquired information all of them my information sources by a law i am allowed to protect and that was the biggest problem for me as a journalist because i could not protect my information sources use a story shocked many in law to be a country used to press scrutiny just a couple of years ago latvia boasted one of the highest freedom of press ratings in all of europe being placed seventh on the annual reporters without borders index but for one reason or another in twenty ten this country is down on the very same list this incident is far from an isolated case say experts this one received a lot of public attention but it is not the only one a skull of from the bone spills cars school and economists was charged by the secret police and he was actually arrested for two days for disseminating alternative opinions of all to the future of the local currency. devaluation a lot was imminent we are losing the last. support to the alternative

information liberal information. among the trust saltless in this country lotta love is any other journalist who defines the insists freedom of the press is not being deliberately strangled he believes the reason is down to economics. newspapers when ben crowd object to the recession he or others turn to their owners for money to survive so the. started single handedly shifting the paper's editorial policies to their own preference simply for the sake of her in a healthy dollar in there has directly. there are other theories however some believe that latvia is spiriting down the freedom of the press writings simply because the people behind the index are biased and reagan has fallen out of favor geo politically but not go believe that as long as nobody has been punished over the forceful search of her apartment concerns about pressure on the press may not be groundless. we all see reporting from brega in latvia now was

built over seventy years ago the soviet really became the symbol of stalin's era a building in the heart of moscow simply house only but what mystery is that hide where they will find out more about the special house next hour. this street still keeps its secrets but now it's time to reveal. the soviet final

house on the embankment. now iran has successfully test five not graded surface to air missile all forty say is a need to protect in the country's most sensitive areas while the test was carried out near a nuclear facility in the central the country there's been a size on this as to what to think that means that it's from the mafia university for international relations but it was a big ham is the means that now the lull some tests were carried out as recently as november so does iran really think that is nuclear facilities could come under attack. well i think. we even participated in many research projects some of them i knew straight at by united states and it is when they try to estimate the potential. for any

military scenarios against iranian nuclear facilities and basically the result of such research projects is annoyed the united states not israel now and you needed to rebut them szell which could not go with. all military facilities of all nuclear related facilities in iran because the united states would need. precision guided conventional weapons they just do not. get this country and the israelis also they would need some land to grow. and refueling rights which no arab. country would give and basically this could. be flawed. ideas against israel

and israel good probably even seize to exist so i think it's. just a nonstarter from the beginning. as every country in the world the iranians just would like to make sure of their defense and their national security is provided for so from the other side then do you really think that iran does pose as big a threat as is often portrayed in the west or is it all media hype. well i think it's very important to do so and a threat. for united states yeah we know has been demonized. the previous bush jr administration but unfortunately its. legacy demonisation and ostracisation. is not really gated to obama administration in the united states which has never

provided any. solution for the it's the rainy and nuclear program. and probably some in the israel thing but it's nation on threat. but you know in this case any military solutions as i said they're meaningless and they should think about probably call. every store or call the can build a new security architecture in the middle east or greater middle east region will you talk us through some of the long standing in the mosque the sea on both sides and on that needs to restore or. rejuvenate some sort of trance between the two sides we know that on friday of this week a new round of talks will begin in a stumble over iran's nuclear program realistically as the situation now stands when we expect an easel to breakthrough to take place on friday. well we know that

in the last ones to get the bush breed is the bush jr and i just ration basically. diplomatic opening so from european union and when all the russian diplomacy or all is quite sound probably russia could play a cure all in finding some feasible or working solution for these problems but i think that what's needed cause some kind of. thinking from obama administration and unfortunately we have a lot of you know voices a lot of. willing statements sold far we haven't seen any kind of new enough they do if inventive diplomacy from the current us administration and i think what's needed there probably are some kind of new.

arrangement which would take him. not just the nuclear issue is bought. all interests and comes to. iran which would also deal with the security situation in the gulf region we'll have to see what comes out those talks in istanbul on friday that he isn't on the mosque a state university points out donations by. now all those christians are celebrating the a penny a holiday which marks the back to them all of the jesus thousands of believers a plunging into frozen lakes across the shaped holes and with temperatures plunging to minus fifteen degrees celsius it takes courage to brave those icy waters of the all of the discovered it's. in the tradition of the old church here in russia the nineteenth of january is the date of the epitome now what

that means to people who worship the orthodox church is that was the date that jesus was baptized into the christian faith now to celebrate that here they jump into the freezing cold rivers of russia now here in moscow where i am could a hole in the ice on the mosque of our river to make sure that bush was and people can jump into the river and celebrate dance feast day of the epiphany no it's not just a religious thing this is now become something of a health kick if you will the people that want to come into the water believe that the the icy temperatures can have some health properties for you can make you feel better in yourself the way it works in the religious sense is that it will tice you again it will cleanse you of your sins and it will set you up for the new year after the blessing over the ice who by your priest has had it essentially into a front a simulation of the o.j. says christ is going to keep my room turn it getting in the world that's it's about

money miss fifteen here the air temperature in moscow. apparently the temperature of the world is so i guess it's going to be a little bit warmer there's nothing left to do now but we'll get him. see how this course. there are. people who. have. already. for the first day program here to one of the world mission so the russian winter song girl you're very busy so. i could tell you i'm feeling very exhilarated right now. and. i think i'm just going to take where on that one about being exonerated ok let's. get all the latest business for us.
