you know it's it might. be more all such. blatant crash that killed the polish president i'm not. a year ago. we were 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 on the easy partition of libya rebel disillusionment with nato his actions in libya turns to anger after an alliance he says took other drugs so-called friendly strikes killed pointers. us nor makers scraped

together an agreement on billions in spending cuts just an hour before the first government shutdown in fifty years going to. around the world twenty four hours a day this is up to you welcome to the program russia and president coming together to remember a common tragedy on sunday it will be exactly a year since a polish plane crashed in the russian city of slovyansk ninety six people were on board including the polish president his wife and a large part of the country's political elite greif united the two nations but ponies rejection of investigation has threatened to divide the books he's a. screeching commemoration ceremonies are due to make it. there is only a tree stumps left at the side where the polish to pull one fifty four plane
4:02 am
crashed causing a fire a year ago the plane carrying the polish president his wife and ninety four other of the country's political and military elite very soon relatives of those killed him because you will be gathering here at these guys and the current polish president's wife on the come out of school will lead a delegation from poland will be a following ceremony a religious service and after that they'll be visiting because the memorial which is some twenty kilometers from here you should remember what was behind the fatal flight of this region of russia a year ago to commemorate something that carried huge emotional scars for the polish people the copying massacre where twenty two thousand polish officers were slaughtered by stalin secret police at the beginning of world war two now today these is a side of a double tragedy ironically this was these catastrophe which called russia and
4:03 am
poland will leave old time shifts and moscow's deeply for its handling of the aftermath of the tragedy has been very well received by poles but now a year on the france's which opened out over investigations findings are not likely to have a quick fix. april seventh twenty tan in the spring sunshine letting her putin and don't all too school owner victims of the cut the massacre many find it hard to believe as a two hundred years of mutual amity between russia and poland had been washed away with tears. but fresh tears were to fall on this soil just three days later the whole polish nation was sent into mourning their president government religious leaders sent the members of the country's elite gun. copying has become a symbol of two polish tragedies and while the first we can judge only from history
4:04 am
books the second unfolded in front of us almost broadcast in real time the plane catastrophe showed our generation of russians and poles those who didn't witness the second world war how do you still suffer a national tragedy. there was however a twist of irony it was these new catastrophe that healed many of the wounds of the past the symbolic heart was just the beginning a year of unprecedented joint work on finding the cause of the crash followed by experience with the russian investigators has been very good they're very high quality organization there is no question about this commander the captain of the polish craft is to blame for this tragedy the facts though were hard to take for some the investigation was beginning to take on political overtones with attempts in poland to push the blame on to russia this report is
4:05 am
a joke proponent exploiting the submissive and shoot of the government of doing to my claim micro. is asian and i would personally ask that question to the traffic control so why there were not so hard to press the crew the transcript of the pilot's last words show there were multiple warnings from the russian air traffic controllers not to land in the fog and to hard to reserve air filled they could for beat the plane from landing because that would have been against international aviation law poland wants third or investigation diplomacy and politics should not hamper the investigation of facts france facts are the most important history suggests russia and poland may take their time to settle their differences especially against the background of a tragedy but such a high price was paid for the recent reconciliation but even skeptics realize it
4:06 am
would be a shame for it to be tainted once again by division and scapegoating exceedingly burchill the r.t.e. cut the in the smiley and screech. surrogate stroke and political commentator for the common sense newspaper told r.t. that the polish reaction to the russian that investigation is merely political point scoring for domestic audience. reaction is quite confusing because as i understand it the national stage they were quite satisfied with the cooperation of the russian side and as you know it was done in full compliance with international norms under the international community and we submitted all the documents it looked as if they were right and not just on the year or of the any western but with a sudden we are getting quite another statements which sound and you're rushing definitely this is the masterpiece sure this is not a question between russia and poland but this is the question between british
4:07 am
politicians themselves over the next two days our crews will bring you special coverage of the commemoration ceremonies we're looking at how the tragedy affected relations between the two nations and how the facts of the crash came to light. when the news is not enough. when something really crucial. what you want to get down to brass tacks we bring you our special coverage here. in the place already synonymous with tragedy the world witnessed another disaster that left a country devastated. but united nations in a great. question more on. to libya now where anger is growing among anti goodell and supporters after nato second the so-called friendly fire bombing raid resulted in rebel deaths
4:08 am
they still don't know outright apology from their nights correspondent has the latest from the capital tripoli. it was 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 air strikes that have left in total 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 would grating be 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 and that it was took the fighters. i'm in now we're hearing a very different argument coming from the rebel commanders they said that they did notify measure beforehand that they had some twenty tanks in their position and
4:09 am
that they were moving to the front line around the city of a drive you're a little bit towards a greater with those tanks it also seems rather questionable why nature was not aware of where the rebel fighters had tanks because there has been footage circulating now for weeks 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 front line keeps seesawing forwards and backwards that there is a constant flow of heavy machinery of tanks and it's coming so difficult for them to actually tell who's who on the ground now for days now we have been witnessing a demoralization among the opposition forces that is now turning into anger and they say that major is not doing enough it's making a lot of mistakes and it's also neglecting its operations here they say that they do not understand why nato has not been able to prevent the duffys forces from advancing something one hundred miles into rebel territory and why and that is true
4:10 am
because right at the moment the graph is forces off holding the upper hand in terms of fighting on the ground. veteran left wing british m.p. jeremy corbin says nato is assuming questionable goals in the area of the conflict to me yet end up splitting the oil producing country but we've become involved it 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 calls numbers to the future there has to be some political solution to this otherwise the carnage will continue the losses will continue and western interests will increasingly look greedy eyes on these enormous oil reserves and the market opportunities of libya are going to
4:11 am
see the libyan people bring about their solution without western interference or meanwhile susan lindauer who's a journalist and antiwar activist says the us was preparing your parade in the months before the underestimate country again. 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 and. that has it and those witnesses have now recanted their testimony it's in the
4:12 am
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 could be has it last summer we began to hear it after he was trying to. gain some compensation some kickbacks possibly some fees from the oil companies and in october you 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. as well as exclusive sort of military operation in libya are offering exclusive interviews to. see footage of our crew was sent from the rebel stronghold of benghazi where thousands gathered on friday
4:13 am
for the victims of. these and it's pretty obvious that there is no charge for the link to the page which gives you a bit of resistance gazans clips on our website at r.t. dot com. u.s. congress rushed down to a budget read on spending cuts dangerously close to the deadline republicans and democrats were forced to overcome their differences or risk the first government or fifty years if the short term that happened years of rounds of critical for us are here so there isn't any attention is paid senate is agreed on for the billion dollars worth of cuts before the others are over despite this to tighten the
4:14 am
project so the economists in the us thought it was a ground for ways to ensure a great economic stability for the world ots learn this to reporters from the sun it works to with friends and even their source code in turn written goods 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 a new world where the united states is not the one singular power dictates economic policy the way that it was in the one nine hundred forty four conference when the dollar was named the reserve currency 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 this summit today it's a very different story this is billionaire george soros gathering together a two hundred according to the think tank intellectuals this is a think tank funded by soros himself fifty million dollars reportedly behind it
4:15 am
gathered together to discuss where this is going next and the idea among thinkers here or at least behind its conference is that there needs to be a system that reflects that this is no longer you know polar world of this is a multi-polar world that brings developing nations into the conversation of the bric nations brazil russia india china and. that now are fueling growth and have booming economies around the world in opposition to the developed nations such as the united states that growth is really stagnated and where deaths have been run up yet this is still the reserve currency this is still a large force as far as monetary policy so the idea among thinkers here is that there really needs to be a different system that engages and reflects the developing nations and the nations that are fueling a lot of the growth in the world that aren't as reflected in old policies that are considered by some of these thinkers according to the data. for more on the sorest conference in bretton woods or you could head to our website gawker and have a look at the latest news about it once the us says. some experts believe america

countries like this this stuff is completely in jeopardy if we start putting weapons in outer space. it will be the longest and most ambitious on the sea pipeline in the world but it's complete and one stream will deliver gas from russia to countries across europe and go abroad never went to see firsthand how the construction is progressing. it look like i'm in a middle of a muddy building site but behind me is a key point one of the most ambitious engineering projects undertaken anywhere in the world over the last few years which you can see just going into the ground and then out to see behind me as the north stream pipe as the world's longest underwater gas pipe at the world's thickets pipe and it's also operating under the
4:19 am
most pressure it's a flagship project for russia because over thirty years before construction could actually begin here i don't see going to cost over seven billion euros at least. russia is now proving that it is capable of nationalizing and carrying on social projects taking part in all their phases starting from modeling 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 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
4:20 am
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 faced a lot of objections now one type of direction 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 all worried about the impact of the project on the seabed and also what might have happened if there were any kind of cyclic emergencies while in this respect gazprom another contract has not only gone and done everything to make sure that there aren't. did you think happened so the point would have gone that's not beyond the sea bad of the baltic has been damaged already by previous wars pollution are actually going out of their way to restore starting with the condition the other objection was political already supplies nearly a third of europe scouts should have started this new pipeline was going to bring
4:21 am
a new level of security because of conflicts which have a good time the countries with ukraine as part of basically held the whole of europe hostage to the demands of one transit country and recent events in our world are playing into the hands of those behind this project with the instability. that europe needs north stream more than. two other news making headlines around the world. these twenty three people have been killed they just abandoned clashes in the syrian city which is now seen three weeks of anti government rallies witnesses say security forces of the shooting at the testers by state run syrian t.v. claims nineteen police officers were killed reports of more deaths in other cities . great. precedence a challenge to the presence of. israeli tank shell has killed one hundred twenty one of them. for those are very strike on

4:24 am
a boundary well it would was far too many problems on the earth don't you believe in thinking about space but weren't there just as many problems back than. perhaps there were. just so used to a. television. cinema. so. i think it was it was a new and newer new president. you know everything was new so that's kind of what obama ran on right what must be a great time for him to stay let's really explore something better than nothing you'd see that happening now. barack obama should. start a whole new. more of. do you think that people
4:25 am
would be into that as much as they were back in the day or are they too into the internet and facebook. so what shape that we used to focus on and now we don't seem to care and. we understand a lot more about the universe through. telescopes and other resources but we haven't been to mars but we know what. we haven't you know that will reveal time travel you know we have. until you try to speculate. why are we more focused on things like the internet and facebook. down unless you're 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 that one giant leap for mankind. and ahead of the anniversary of. a special section of our website. dedicated to space
