the latest. from. the future. united in grief russian poland told me moral service is to remember the plane crash that killed the polish president and ninety five others. a year ago. we were involved in the civil war largely because of the past amounts of oil that exist in eastern libya and i think the result will probably create a very easy partition of libya. rebel disillusionment with nato actions in libya and the anger and violence general visas to apologize for print

the strikes killed. and us more makers scraped together an agreement billions in strange and cuts just an hour before the first government shutdown as we've gone ahead. here with world news twenty four hours a day back on the program well russia and poland coming together to remember a common tragedy on sunday it will be exactly a year since a polish plane crash near the russian city of slovyansk ninety six people are on board including the polish president his wife and a knowledge part of the country's political elite grief united the two nations both presidents rejection of the investigation has threatened to divide the. country is in question for us now where commemoration ceremonies are due to begin the country

and here at the site itself describe the scene that. well a year on there is only three stumps of the sites where the polish to one fifty four crashed causing a fire the plane was carrying polish president lech kaczynski his wife maria ninety four others other poland senior political and military elite now very soon relatives of those killed in the catastrophe will be gathering besides the delegation will be headed by the current president's wife and the komorowski and very soon up for a flower laying ceremony and a religious service they will also visit because the new memorial some twenty kilometers from here now we should forget what was the purpose behind that beatle flight a year ago that was to commemorate something which carried huge emotional scars for the polish people because the massacre which were twenty two thousand polish

officers were killed by stalin's secret police at the beginning of world war two now it is a side away of a double tragedy well ironically this plane crash this catastrophe how russia and poland relieve all tensions between the two nations now it's the side the double tragedy and what is also worth mentioning that moscow's dignified handling of the aftermath of the crash a year ago has been very well received by poles they were somehow taken aback by prime minister vladimir putin's decision to personally oversee investigational because. and these emotional heart of his counterpart. the wreckage of. at this site a year ago was replayed many times on poland's news channels. year on since the tragedy that how do we know the full facts about the cause of the crotch. another

surely investigation by the interstate civil in the aviation community carried out in moscow is all. and a detailed report was deliberate in january. and the main causes of these catastrophe named the decision not to let the plane despite multiple warnings from russian air traffic controllers not to land in but weather conditions and also russia to let the plane from individuals which were who were not supposed to be in the pilots. at the moment of the tragic. recall feel around the actions of russian air traffic controllers were ruled out however the polish side is not satisfied with the results of the report and some opponents of. small with russia likely. rather do not even rule version of assassinations and they in turn to carry out investigation further on the road so obviously this

process will take some time but even most dearest skeptics of peace reconciliation with russia have been saying that the price of it of this rapprochement has been so huge so massive that it will be a shame me for these did business and scapegoating. you know woods would screw it all up and these tragedies a lesson for both nations to learn a lot from. ok catherine mcgrath trooper joining us live from the region thank you . for the next two days our crews will bring you special coverage of the collaboration ceremonies we're looking at how the tragedy affected relations between the two nations and how the facts of the crash were brought to light. when the news is not enough. when it's something really crucial. when you want to

get jams and brass tacks we bring you our special coverage here on in a place already synonymous with tragedy the world witnessed another disaster that left the country devastated. and united two nations in grief. question more on the party. to libya now where anger is growing among anti gadhafi supporters after nato second so-called friendly fire bombing raid resulted in rebel deaths there still being no outright apology from the alliance elsewhere russian journalists who were captured by opposition fighters have been freed our correspondent there has the latest from the capital tripoli. five russian journalists journalists for a living russian newspaper and three working for a russian television network they have been released and they are back in a hotel in a rebel child safe and sound now they say that they were reporting at the entrance

to the town of some seventy kilometers away stop in arms each when they were picked up by opposition fighters they were put into. where they were interrogated for several hours at the former military base that one question where they were constantly asked is why really the southern side now this just seemed to suggest that the rebel fighters there could perhaps be moving with gadhafi forces and that they wanted to as the tale of this was not the case before actually letting him go but a journalist saying that they were treated fairly and that they had no they also say that they had an opportunity to actually see the rebels themselves retreating from the eastern part of the country and also an opportunity to see some of the heavy machinery that they now have access to this was the first time that even taken by opposition forces the situation is very different here in tripoli where we still are hearing that if you thought foreign journalists are being held by the libyan

authorities are known as. it has been a sense of disillusionment and once the opposition forces here in libya for quite some days now towards nato they've been complaining that they haven't actually carry through with it is it only destroyed maybe twenty five thirty percent of gadhafi is machinery and they're calling for an increase in volume. in fact the opposite is happening we witnessed a decline in a number of. ways but now with the latest strike that has gone horribly wrong the city and nato is trying. to misstate rebel fighters for gadhafi forces this latest killings and i have little fighters and we do some pretty this has changed the mood from disillusionment nato secretary general has said that he strongly regrets this incident he hasn't actually been a part. but they have explained the situation by saying that the front line is extremely fluid is the constant flow of weapons forwards and backwards and they have not been informed that in the last few days the fighters had started using

weapons and machinery and tanks that had formerly belonged to gadhafi forces and medical same time also looks very similar to been. reporting there or veteran left with the firm the very core of it says that nato is pursuing questionable goals and a bit of a conflict to me getting up splitting the oil rich country. what we've become involved in is a civil war in libya and they all went disastrously wrong when they an opposition military point that was apparently advancing against the preference forces who were them taking over because the opposition forces had to retreat so i think it's very damaging but underlying the lack of any clear purpose in this mission and the lack of any endgame in that we're involved in the civil war largely because of the vast amounts of oil that exist in eastern libya and i think the result would probably prefer a very on the e.c. partition of libya with a stalemate which will lead to constant conflict and costs not rest of the future

gadhafi has been there a very long time and he's a great survivor but i think he recognizes the game is probably up and the mood music is coming from his representatives and from the opposition representatives is there looking for a way out both sides have offered some sort of inadequate cease fire as both have offered inadequate talks but the signs are that people recognize there has to be some political solution to this otherwise the carnage will continue the losses will continue and western interests will increasingly look with greedy eyes on these enormous oil reserves and indeed the market opportunities of libya are going to see the libyan people bring about their solution without western interference. that's ahead for us and never learned military conflict draws parallels between events and nato experience in afghanistan plus. the world's longest on the world together why in the world and it's also world operates under the pressure. starting it takes you

to the place where the gigantic north stream right starts its journey through western russia. u.s. lawmakers have finally thrashed out a budget agreement spending cuts dangerously close to the don't like the republicans and democrats were forced to overcome their differences or risk the first government shutdown in fifteen years. if the shutdown had happened hundreds of thousands of public employees. and teachers would have been paid around centered on republican demands to stop the funding of health facilities which provide contraception in the current supposed republican proposal to cut taxes paid by huge multinational corporations while hiking the cost of health care the old me. christine from reports the result may be less of a budget and more of a revenue crisis. it fuels the economy with innovation with jobs and yes with wind but it turns out not

with tax dollars general electric one of america's oldest corporations is also one of america's most creative at least when it comes to doing taxes the new york times investigation found that in two thousand and ten g.e. reported worldwide profits of fourteen point two billion dollars five point one billion of which came from its operations in the united states but its tax bill in the u.s. was zero in fact g.e. claimed a tax benefit of three point two billion dollars according to g.'s website the company paid what it owes under the law and g.e. is right thanks to heavy lobbying legislation passed allowing companies to keep much of their profits overseas or tax rates are lower and it's not alone google also benefits from laws passed here in washington because it keeps its money here in ireland near its dublin headquarters while the corporate tax rate in the us is

thirty five percent it's just twelve percent in ireland from their profits are sent to its bermuda subsidiary a mailing address where the tax rate is zero if the practice bloomberg news reporter jesse drucker says is common question is doesn't make sense for a company created intellectual property through us that are the majority of its employees in the us. does it sound that the bulk of its profits overseas trip it will be a box of bermuda it's a question many are asking especially in the midst of an economic crisis economists estimate that the u.s. is losing between sixty and ninety billion dollars in tax revenue and corporations say the tax rate here should be lowered by jordan as of now with national people's action says lawmakers wrangling over the budget are missing the point and it's not a budget crisis but a revenue crisis the fact that matter is governments on the state and federal level are not raising enough revenue. his organization protests against what they see as

corporate greed bank of america in two thousand and ten actually got a tax refund of six hundred sixty six million dollars that's on top of their two thousand and nine refund of three point five billion dollars. i don't forget they give america was given billions in taxpayer dollars in the bailout corporations are now campaigning for a tax holiday like the one in two thousand for kids this season especially with tax day right around the corner to speak be grudgingly on the government but the government provides services that people use and enjoy every day whether they realize it or not things like road repair for the most part the government also on the market. like firefighters. on the street you actually meet every day services increasingly funded by those making the least companies making the most use the system to get around christine for sound r.t.

. but it's not just capitol hill breathing a sigh of relief over the pre-budget button that says well the government shutdown could have been they the very last mission of the shuttle endeavor with the shuttle program closing down this year anyway parties roving reporter the residence when your whatever happened to the space race. like the culture you think it was so important. and now we're like they're been there done being here barry as before but we you know we've got up areas now we've got our boundaries it's just too expensive we're just so used to it. television. cinema. just shows outer space all the time so it doesn't seem to be so spectacular and more. powerful than the longest widest and most ambitious on the scene pipeline in the world but it's complete stream will deliver gas from russia to countries across

europe. and to see firsthand how the constructions progress. might look like i'm in a middle of a multi building site put behind me is a key point and one of the most ambitious engineering projects undertaken anywhere in the world over the last few years the point which you can see just going into the ground and then out to see behind me as the north stream as the world's longest underwater gas pipe is the world's tickets and it's also an operating under the most pressure it's a flagship project for russia it was mooted for over ten years before construction could actually begin to head out and going to cost over seven billion euros at least. russia is now proving that it is capable of initialising and carrying. projects taking part in all their phases starting from modeling to constructing and operating. this is no ordinary methyl it's got to be able to

withstand extreme conditions the thickness of the walls it's four centimeters it's able to not break down if there is a cold temperature of more than minus fifty also it looks kind of solid but it's actually extremely flexible it's able to swing in a range of more than a thousand meters and in fact the moment is being laid down on a ship about a thousand kilometers away near the coast of germany the world's most powerful compressor station which is just one kilometer back there will be forcing the gas to go at huge pressure so you don't need any kind of other compression stations in the middle of the pipe on its way to realize ation and north stream project face a lot of objections now one part of the action was from viral mentalists those in sweden and finland two of the country for you to see by the which the project will go through well worried about the impact of the project on the seabed and also what might have happened if you know any kind of cyclic emergencies well in this respect

gazprom under contract does have not only go on and on everything could make sure that there. nothing happened so the point would have gone beyond the seabed of the baltic has been damaged already previous wars pollution actually going out of their way to restore song to condition the other objection was political pressure already supplies nearly a third of europe's carrots but russia. was going to bring a new level of security because of conflicts which have transit countries with ukraine in years past basically held the whole of europe hostage to the demands of want transit country and recent events in the arab world are playing into the hands of those behind this project with the instability it's our belief that europe needs north stream more than ever. now that we have more analysis on the situation in libya and north african country could become the next afghanistan that's the prediction from the party's big contributor he believes the us has made

a mistake. having spent half a billion dollars finally with their humanitarian bomb being a leave their enter the second phase after the united states transferred its command and control its operation odyssey dawn to its ear appealing nato allies their brave weekend worriers from brussels just proved yet again they have to ever get a state that nobody absolutely nobody can count on that the united states affected were repeated the same mistake which they did in two thousand and five in afghanistan when they transferred that command and control in southern part of the kountry took its nato allies as a result it was up to the united states marines to save their courageous british in

kandahar and in helmand province is now the european side of nato has demonstrated to the whole world that within one week they can accomplish two child friendly fire air assault on the rebel forces the pentagon chief robert gates who has nothing to lose and his way to a final retirement should admit it loud and clear the first lesson in regime these that nato and without american brains braun's he's nothing but a dog and pony show especially when push comes to show whether in afghanistan believe. what else where. now to other news making headlines around the world at least twenty three people have been killed in violent clashes in the syrian city there are. government demonstrations continue but this is

a security forces were shooting at the testers are straight from the syrian scene and claims nineteen police officers were killed reports of more deaths in other cities have emerged as a wave of rallies from to sweep the country it's an unprecedented challenge revenue presence of. eleven palestinians have been killed by israeli airstrikes in the latest cross border exchange in gaza comes just hours after he knew that from the cease fire cleared by police to move. in the last two days israel has no more than twenty raids and girls are something of that response to the start of this. a new global economy and the universal currency to replace the dollar with these are the goals outlined by going to communists gathered at a summit in american town of bretton woods parties long histories following the meeting is to our world famous billionaire george soros. this is as you mentioned

billionaire george soros gathered together two hundred according to the think tank intellectuals this is a think tank funded by a source himself fifty million dollars reportedly behind it gathered together to discuss where this is going next with the belief that the current economic thinking and the current world monetary policy systems in place are no longer working they no longer reflect what the world is like today but the reality is like on the globe one of the main reasons why this gathering is taking place is because the belief is that after the financial collapse that shook the globe and it reverberated all across the world there hasn't been anything to replace the old system that reflects the new world where the united states is not the one singular power that dictates economic policy the way that it was in the one nine hundred forty four conference when the dollar was named reserve currency this idea among thinkers here or at least behind this conference is that there needs to be a system that reflects that this is no longer you know polar world it is

a multi-polar world that brings developing nations into the conversation the bric nations brazil russia india china nations that now are fueling growth and have good economies around the world in opposition to the developed nations such as the united states that were growth is really stagnated this was the setting of the one nine hundred forty four the famous bretton woods conference that essentially set the monetary system and policy for the world the international system this is where the international monetary fund was established this is where what is now the world bank was established in this is also when the united states dollar became the reserve currency for the world in exchange rates of countries all over the world were pegged to it now that was the historical record that was when you united nations got together the allied countries during world war two at its peak to have this summit today it's a very different story. in the months ahead the u.s. is both boring and space shuttles or the same year that's held groups and treatments and space exploration well to these groups of people you're. extra to

rest for them. this month marks the fifth year anniversary of the first human not yuri gagarin to ever fly into space so whatever happened to the space race this week let's talk about that are you proud that man once walked on the moon. and i proud that man was walked out of my proud that man once across the atlantic ocean and found america i think it's it's a good thing for people who for mankind to do new things and explore and learn no one cares and i'm going into space and boy is that sad no i think we've done it seen it's too expensive there's nothing more to do in outer space well as those more to do but is it worth doing if you don't think it is i don't know why if i did it why did the culture used to think it was so important and now are like been

there done being here barry is you know we've got up areas now we've got our boundaries it's just too expensive you don't think the people living on another planet would be breaking a boundary well i would suppose there's far too many problems on the earth to be even thinking of us actual space but weren't there just as many problems back then . perhaps the were. just so used to a. television. cinema. to show social space all the time so it doesn't seem to be so spectacular and more i think it was it was a new a new or new presidency a new administration you know everything was new so but that's kind of what obama ran on right so soon what must be a great time for him to say let's read lord it would be something better than nothing do you see that happening no not like him no barack obama should do what

john f. kennedy did start a whole new space program really gets out there really for more the more. you know do you think that people would be into that as much as they were back in the day or are they too into the internet and facebook. you know so much change that we used to focus on and now we don't seem to care. about universe. other resources but we haven't been to mars but we know. we haven't you know time travel no we haven't had you know that's even possible until you try to speculate. why are we more focused on things like the internet and facebook because. i'm not you're one of those people that believe met in space with their hopes the bottom line is that no matter what happened to the space race we can always say that we did take that one giant leap for mankind.

head of the out of the first spaceflight we prepared a special section of the website. dedicated to space exploration you can take part in a contest to create something inspired by. god it could be anything from. some great prices and all the details. coming back with headlines in a few moments stay with us. i am. cool.

when the news is not enough. when it's something really crucial. when you want to get jams and prospects we bring you our special coverage here on in a place already synonymous with tragedy the world witnessed another disaster that left a country devastated. and united two nations in grief.
