1:04 am
commission is over it was carried out of the reported detailed report was published in january of this year but it brought some very disturbing conclusions to the polish sides for example pressure to land the plane and from individuals which one were not authorized to be inside of the cocoa beach and the decision by pilots to learn despite multiple warnings about weather conditions were named as the main causes of the tragedy and the actions of air traffic control was on the ground in russia as well as mechanical failure will ruled out as being part of the cause of the crash after those findings were revote and. transcripts of conversations inside the pilot's coffee to were published this investigation began to assume police killed over toes and poland in particular some politicians were trying to share the blame with the russian side twin brother all
1:05 am
for the late president. still refuse to believe the findings and has been saying that russia had a deliberate hand in the crash in his non-school interviews he's been saying that he doesn't give one rule out and assess damage now poland will dispute these reports and is now carrying out its investigation of its own zope this it will take a while before we could say that it is over i don't even skeptics in poland all the skeptics of this war professional with russia have been saying that the price paid has been so huge so must say that it will be a shame if it's tainted by my divisions so we're scapegoating. ok joining us live from the region thank you. for the next two days our crews will bring you special coverage. as we're looking at how the tragedy affect relations between the two nations how the facts of the crash into the light. when
1:06 am
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. question more on the odyssey. to libya and there where anger is growing i'm going to go to supporters after the so-called friendly fire bombing raid resulted in. steubenville anthropology for me let's cross to our correspondent for slayer for the latest from the tropical trivia paula what's the mood among opposition fighters
1:07 am
there off to the latest natan story. while nato is leadership over its military operations here in libya are coming under more and more fire for being ineffective and for creating mistakes it is now nine days since nato took over command of military operations here and in the last week alone we've witnessed two separate nato is strides that have left in churchill more than twenty opposition fighters did and several dozen injured now as you can well imagine the tensions here are running high particularly because the nato secretary general why regretting the loss of life has not come out and said that he is sorry for these is strikes essentially what nato is arguing is that it was not aware that the rebel fighters were using tanks prior to these airstrikes emetic mistook the fighters he's in now we're hearing a very different argument coming from the rebel commanders they say that they did notify measure beforehand that they had some twenty tanks in a position and that they were moving to the front line around the city of
1:08 am
a drive year a little bit towards briger with those tanks it also seems rather questionable why nato was not aware that the rebel fighters had tanks because there has been footage circulating now for weeks on you tube showing these opposition fighters with heavy weaponry that includes tanks the other argument that nato is putting forward is that the situation on the ground is extremely fluid it says that the frontline keeps seesawing forwards and backwards at least a constant flow of heavy machinery of tanks and it's becoming so difficult for them to actually tell who's on the ground now for days now we have been witnessing a demoralization among the opposition forces there is now turning into anger. they say that nature is not doing enough it's making a lot of mistakes and it's also neglecting its operations here they said that they do not understand why nato has not been able to prevent gadhafi forces from advancing some one hundred miles into rebel territory and that is true because right at the moment is forces are holding the at their hands in terms of fighting
1:09 am
on the ground now in all fairness there are a number of other variables and it's we've gotten to the picture of the weather has been there for pilots we've had here the clouds here we've had sandstorms and united states has withdrawn its aircraft and some of that aircraft would have been very useful in this close contact fighting the nato commanders also have a lack of human spotters on the ground what we've been told is that the cia agents who are here at the moment are working to try and assist intelligence and find out the organizational structure of the rebels but they're not really being used to coordinate a strikes there was also no established lines of communication between nato and this red tag group of rebels and what we're hearing from nato is that there is not there was sponsored realty to establish some kind of communication as far as nato commanders themselves so they are extremely frustrated and they say that they are increasingly being used by the opposition forces are sometimes a proxy a force and not an air force that is meant to be used to save civilian lives so
1:10 am
what we're really seeing here is the result of a mission that is ambiguous in its scope and objectives. paullus there reporting from again capital to the bases there. that are in the left wing british and german says who is pursuing questionable goals in libya conflicts may yet end up splitting the oil producing country. what we've become involved in is a civil war in libya and they all went disastrously wrong when they bombed an opposition military point i think it's very damaging but it underlines the lack of any clear purpose in this mission and the lack of any engagement 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 will probably be a very easy partition of libya with a stalemate which will lead to constant conflict and cause not versed in the future there has to be some political solution to this otherwise the carnage will continue
1:11 am
the losses we're going to show you 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. well susan is a journalist tendency workers so the u.s. was planning your peroration months before the rest of the country began. last summer we began to hear that qaddafi was pressuring the u.s. and british oil companies for compensation and reimbursement for the damages from sanctions in the one nine hundred ninety s. khadafi had been put under sanctions for the lockerbie bombing. the bombing of pan am one of three and the united nations had demanded that libya turn over two men for trial at the hague what happened at the trial was the united states paid witnesses four million dollars apiece to testify against the libyans
1:12 am
and. that has it and those witnesses have now recanted their testimony it's the lockerbie trial made it clear that libya had nothing to do with that case and it has been a great embarrassment for the west and now khadafy has last summer we began to hear he was trying to. gain some compensation some kickbacks possibly some fees from the oil companies and in october. occidental petroleum and chevron two us two major u.s. oil companies pulled out of libya and i think from october on there was going to be something that would happen to libya to punish them for making things hard for us oil. nazis and military contributor things that libya could become the next
1:13 am
afghanistan he believes the u.s. has made a mistake and they gave the military operation in libya to nato. having spent half a billion dollars finally their humanitarian bombing a leave their enter the second phase after the united states transferred its command and control of its operation odyssey dawn to its ear appeal nato allies their grave weekend worriers from brussels just proved yet again have to ever get a state that nobody eps aleut when nobody can count on their the united states there 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 to its nato allies as a result it was up to the united states marines to save their courageous british in
1:14 am
kandahar and helmand province is now the european side of nato has demonstrated to the whole world that within one week they can accomplish two big time friendly fire air assault on the rebel forces the pentagon chief robert gates who has nothing to lose on his way to final retirement should admit it loud and clear the first lesson in regime ease that nato and without american brains bronze he's nothing but a dog and pony show especially when push comes to show whether in afghanistan believe. what else where. well as well as exclusive analysis of the military operation in libya we're offering exclusive video as well. people seemed pretty much of
1:15 am
a rebel stronghold and. thousands gathered on friday turn one of victims of nature's warnings and these images from a video service that's the name implies there's no charge upon a link to the page which you see on the internet access to the presence of clips on the web site of course. it will be the longest and most ambitious on the sea pipeline in the world but it's complete stream will deliver gas from russia to countries across europe roxy's never went to sing first time construction is progressing. might look like common in middle of a monkey building site but behind me is a key point one of the most vicious engineering projects undertaken anywhere in the world over the last few years the pipe which you can see just going into the ground
1:16 am
and then out to see behind me is the nord stream pipe is the world's longest underwater gas pipe at the world's thickets pipe and it's also one operating under the most pressure it's a flagship project for russia for over thirty years before construction could actually begin here and it's going to cost over seven billion year as at least. russia is now proving it is capable of initialising and carrying on such a large scale projects taking part in all the phases starting from modeling to constructing and operating. this is no ordinary metal pipe 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
1:17 am
a thousand meters in fact it's at 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 the north stream project faced a lot of objections now one type of objection was from environmentalist those in sweden and finland two of the country three were deceived by the original project will go through all worried about the impact of the project on the seabed and also what might have happened if any kind of seismic emergency one disrespect got from under the contract has not only gone and done everything to make sure that there are no. nothing happened sort of point could have gone a step beyond that so the c. word of the baltic has been damaged already by previous wars and previous pollution and are actually going out of their way to restore the birth
1:18 am
a condition of their objection was political pressure already supplies nearly a third of europe's gas which russia has sort of a good business model is going to bring a new level of security void in the cost of conflicts which are good transit countries with ukraine and you have thought that basically held the whole of europe hostage to the demands of one transit country and recent events in the arab world are playing into the hands of those behind this project with the instability that it's all good but europe needs north stream more than ever. the u.s. congress has rushed to budget green on spending cuts dangerously close to the deadline republicans and democrats were forced to overcome their differences risk the first government shutdown fifty years. going ahead hundreds of thousands of public. so many sections has been paid so it is agreed on to make billion dollars and the anderson. despite efforts to get some
1:19 am
leading economists and us losing ground. ways to ensure greater economic stability well. first of all it's from a summit hosted by 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 source and. dollars reportedly behind it gathered together to discuss where this is going next i believe 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 what the reality is like on the globe one of the main reasons why this gathering is taking. places 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
1:20 am
power tate's economic policy the way that it was in the one nine hundred forty four conference when the dollar was named the 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 multipolar world to bring to developing nations into the conversation the bric nations brazil russia india china nations that now are fueling growth and have booming 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 historic conference that was when you united nations got together the allied countries during world war two at its peak to have
1:21 am
this summit today it's a very different story. commodities making headlines around the world at least twenty three people have been killed in clashes in the syrian city there are dissenting government demonstrations continue witnesses say security forces were shooting at protesters syrian t.v. screens nineteen police officers were killed reports of more deaths in other cities have emerged as a greater rise continues to sweep the country it's an unprecedented foreign student never me a present singer. palestinian has been killed by israeli airstrikes over rates as cross border exchanging dollars or it comes just hours after unidirectional ceasefire promised in america's last two days israel has launched over twenty raids or there was a response to this or. so. three
1:22 am
people have been killed and dozens injured protesters over plans for compromising preview residents took to the streets for three days running over concerns of construction effect and supplies and damage the environment response the country's government has cancelled the question. in a few months ahead the us is one for the hit space shuttles one in the same year that celebrations will be held to mark the greatest achievement in space exploration nazis' radio reporter has asked people in york what happened to the u.s. extraterrestrial ambitions. 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
1:23 am
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 about going into space 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 there been there tony 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 you would suppose this far too many problems on the earth now to be even thinking of a social space but weren't there just as many problems back then. perhaps the were . were just so used to it. television. cinema.
1:24 am
just shows social space all the time so it doesn't seem to be so strictly true anymore i think it was it was a new a new or new president see a new ministration you know everything was new so that's kind of what obama ran on right so see what must be a great time for him to stay let's read floor it be something better than nothing he'd 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 the morrow. 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. so what changed that we used to focus on and now we don't seem to care. a lot more about the universe.
1:25 am
other resources but we haven't been to mars but we know we. haven't you know that it will reveal time travel. but how do you know that even possible until you try. why are we more focused things like the internet and facebook. i must be one of those people that believe man in space was a hoax the bottom line is that no matter what happened to the space race we can always say that we did take one giant leap for mankind. and the head of the universe or of the first spaceflight a special section of our website or. educated to space exploration you can take part in the contest to create something inspired. first. could be anything from it to a t. shirt and there are some great prizes nothing else.
1:26 am
just a few moments the world headlines state this. little .
1:27 am
twenty years ago largest country in. search of.
1:28 am
us had been. speaking to just. where did it take. this is not enough. when it's something really crucial. when you want to get down to brass tacks as 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. if . questionable. for the full story we've got it firsthand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers i'm not see. every space is the backbone of our national security there is no substance and
1:29 am
there is no alternative to military dominance in space and. bombs on target good time bad luck clubs will doubtless will be able to deliver through space ship land. dead or. good. the builders have to look out for her place. and we must. be. several hundred. years of investment in the peaceful uses of barter space. this incredible investment from the united states and from the european union in canada other countries like business on this stuff.
