she's available in the house bill and the one who took the old way believe me to be given closer to the mill stone who took some of those country house holiday is the bull goldman tells the regret the creamy that used to be the most acute the world the rubens hotel. such great pay your own russia joins together with poland to commemorate the plane crash which killed the polish president and so many of the country's political elites. also in the program a group of african leaders are headed to libya to try and ease the conflict between the government of the rebels meantime nato draws ever more fire over blunders in its military operation. i don't world without the top economist gather to discuss where the global economy is heading and the role of emerging countries.

haven't pm saturday night here in moscow you're watching the artsy international news channel my name is kevin zero in on the top story it was a fatal flight which killed a president and ninety five others memorial service is taking place almost a year now since the plane crash in western russia that claimed the lives of the polish lead in the kitchen skeered many top officials have been on the way to a commemoration ceremony for the victims of the one nine hundred forty captain massacre carried out by stalin secret police he's a country over was at the crash scene for us it was a day to remember solemnly here in smiley and that's allegation of all one hundred people mostly relatives of the victims of the catastrophe gathered at the side where the polish to believe one fifty four plane crashed a year ago carrying president lives. his wife maria and many other of the country's

political and military elite now today the current polish president's wife on the come out off sky how did the delegation this polish delegation in the beginning there was a flower laying ceremony here at the site of the plane crash and there was also mass observed here and then they had to that got bin massacre site only some twenty five kilometers from here it's very important to remember what was the park was behind the tree which actually never happened on the polish high ranking officials last year that was to cover it something which carried huge emotional scars for the people of poland the cut the massacre where twenty two thousand polish officers the country's elite were slaughtered by stalin's secret police and covered at the beginning of world war two and today cut pain is a symbol of a double tragedy for the polish people now law schools dignified handling of the catastrophe aftermath has been very well received by the people of poland but

a year on differences over the investigations findings opened up between moscow and warsaw and they're not likely to have a quick fix april seventh twenty turn in the spring sunshine blood thinner putin and donald owner victims of the country 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. which crashed years were to fall on the soil just three days later the whole polish nation was sent into removing their president government religious leaders and other members of the country's elite gun being has become a symbol of two polish tragedies and while the first we can judge only from history books the second unfolded in front of us almost grow. carsten real time the plane

catastrophe showed our generation of russians and poles those who didn't witness the second world war how it is to suffer a national tragedy. there was however a twist of irony it was these new catastrophe that healed many of the ones of the past the symbolic heart was just the beginning a year of unprecedented joint work to find the cause of the crash followed by experience with the russian investigators has been very good very very high quality organization there is no question about this the 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 a joke for poland exploiting the submissive and shoot of the government is going to

my claim my trademark. and i would personally ask that question to the traffic controller why there were not so her out the press crew the transcript of the pilot's last words show there were multiple warnings from the russian air traffic controllers not to land in peak form and to have to reserve their guilt they couldn't for be the plane from landing because that would have been against international aviation law poland disputes russia's findings and its holding its own investigation. diplomacy and politics should not hamper the investigation of facts for us facts of the most important. history suggests russia and poland may take their time to settle their differences especially against the background of a tragedy that such a high price was paid for the recent reconciliation even skeptics realize it would be a shame for it to be tainted once again by did. bishan and scapegoating it feel about

children r t. a smiley inscription. efforts of better relations between moscow and wausau were barred by a political struggle within poland that is the view professor cutoff we spoke to me from the asia university she's an expert on russia and eurasia. after the kind of frequency lesions spotted a role the decision for instance to have the inquiry together to accept from the russian side more intensively the question of cotton and so on and so on the relation has been hijacked by internal party scene and that high i think the main problem it has nothing to do with it was basically a fight for poor work inside poor and of course as you know very well when you have a difficult electoral campaign and when you have political forces were going to speak especially towards from the brotherhood the former presidents towards the prime minister tusk you have just what you can before seen it means that the

tragedy was used to see that one was conceived. and for the other part to accuse the brotherhood to be too hard and coming back digging constantly incurring into a kind of paranoia towards russia and across this weekend our reporting saying will bring you special coverage of the commemoration ceremonies will be looking at how both poland and russia are coming together to remember the tragedy and how the details of the crash came to light. when the leaves is not enough. when it's something really crucial. what you want to get down to 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 devastating. but united nations in a great. question

more on. the libyan leader colonel gadhafi has appeared in public for the first time in five days who show no state t.v. inspecting a school in the capital tripoli where people treated him with ansar western slogans meanwhile a group of african leaders are heading to libya in attempt to mediate the conflict between the government and the opposition and in another development british warplanes have hit seven pro-government tanks according to the u.k. ministry of defense nonetheless nato saying its popularity wane among rebels are the recent deadly air strikes on their positions artie's paula slayer as the latest from tripoli. 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 is tribes 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 chick elite because the nato secretary general why regretting the loss of life has not come out and said that he is sorry for these airstrikes essentially what nato is arguing is that it was not aware that the rebel fighters were using tanks prior to these airstrikes medical stock fighters duffy's them in now we're hearing a very different argument coming from the rebel commanders they said that they didn't notify major beforehand that they had some twenty tanks in their position and that they were moving to the front line around the city of a judge here a little bit towards a brig or with those tanks it also seems rather questionable why major was not aware that 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 nature is putting forward is that the situation on the ground is extremely fluid it says that the front line keeps seesawing forwards

and backwards at these a constant flow of heavy machinery of tanks and it's becoming 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 and 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 convince the duffys forces from advancing some one hundred miles into rebel territory and that is true because right at the moment could half its forces are holding be at their hands in terms of fighting on the ground. these poor sleep with the latest from the libyan capital lawrence davidson's a professor of middle east history at west chester university in pennsylvania spoke to him just last hour he told me countries involved early intervention will soon play a blame game if the operation goes wrong. if good goal. was to

facilitate the victory of the rebels. to protect civilians and i suspect that regime change was in fact a goal then they haven't succeeded and they're not going to succeed unless they can turn the rebel force into a viable fighting unit who. can take one because already if they can pick out a stalemated best i think there's a lot of confusion and when you get confusion like you've got you have to be even on the ground in libya you're going to start to look for speed so i think in the near future it was someone can take this inherent we have the americans or the french or british or whoever we want somebody can take this in hand i think in the near future you're going to see a lot of name calling and finger pointing. and it's going to get really embarrassing. still ahead on the program on our t.v.

whatever happened to the space race we have. been seeing it's too expensive there's nothing more to do in outer space well if that's more to do what is it worth doing well i guess that is the question is humanity to troubled by more down to earth problems these days to care about the final frontier anymore the president gave just reaction from the streets of new york just ahead and the pipelines in the pipeline we've traveled to see firsthand progress in the construction of the story that project promise to transform energy ties between russia and europe. major financial players from around the world of debating the future of the global economy in the iconic u.s. town of bretton woods a summit held by billionaire philanthropist george soros soros is focusing on the place emerging markets and said to take in any new world order says laura lister reports next from the venue. so far the themes that we've heard are not so much what needs to take place going forward but that something needs to change in

a new new way of thinking about the global economy and the financial order and the tools that people have to use in that countries have to use need to change there needs to be new thinking going forward one of the main issues that we've heard from already is something that the original price conference held here stablished on member back in one thousand nine hundred four countries all met here to decide on a global economic framework and that was the time that the u.s. dollar was named the reserve currency and countries pegged their exchange rate to it which is the framework that holds today and it's something that's coming under question yesterday we heard george soros say that one of the big questions is if the u.s. dollar should still be the reserve currency and in fact he says other currencies already are kind of taking its place that it no longer is the main reserve currency that the euro place in the economy that kind of fills that role or could and that so much diversification has happened with currencies and also with commodities like gold and oil and so that's one of the real questions that bankers are asking here

namely the u.s. dollar and the united states in its place that it had when this was a unit polar world back in the one nine hundred forty s. to thinking that that's outdated and that a new framework needs to emerge that takes into account evolving economies which have been the economies that have grown at a clip and emerged as powers over the last several years including the bric nations of brazil russia india and china and even yesterday we heard a few times about how china has weathered the financial crisis much better than others and it's been the real winner out of the financial crisis and of globalization i asked larry summers yesterday about this about what role these kind of conferences with these major players you know someone like soros anything he says pretty much makes news and is influential when it comes to finance when it comes to the economy so i asked what kind of things can i have and he said that they do in kind of a cumulative way that they're often the precursor to the actual policy that. get question forward years later. laura lister reporting was discuss the issues the world's financial elites facing with the roman friedman is professor of economics

in new york university very good evening thanks for being on artie's pre-shared a new approach towards global economic policy on the table of bretton woods sounds good i guess but do you think any of the ideas will be implemented by a decision makers around the world or is it simply sadly a talking shop with no teeth your thoughts. hopefully they will be implemented although. my colleague said yes the. three in the i.d.f. i mean implementation is rather long what i have to add is that we're very very. of because of my own work. we have a reversal of the usual arcane take their own currency used. in a famous quote the i.d.'s of some scribbler economists are always behind policymakers and some of their colleagues makers are now ahead of the theatres and that's the new development so what we see large is not making we see.

many of our good ideas from. the bank of international settlements in basel what we see largely in the teaching and economic theory is starting. to see what this conference is intended to address so this is a rather peculiar situation you know to learn from them your theory is we need to be accepted but whatever the new fear is the liver's affairs he's in son says not quite legitimize the framework but it's part of the u.k. now the reputation of the global financial elite speak damaged by the recent crisis our people like i'm thinking goldman sachs j.p. morgan etc etc who encourage the public's confidence so much to play for the world's economic woes. in my opinion of course professors.

opinion is of course motivated by what i do or in my opinion the only way to look let's talk a little bit about the lack of confidence and the lack of trust before the crisis there was an idea that mark is that everything perfectly then of course it was. to a significant related to the fall of. the soviet union the fall of colonies and what happened afterwards was this fall was mis interpreting what happened was that sort of interpreting this fall that markets are indispensable and we have a potentially could be interpretation has been that they are now perfect so we look to this lead are actually not even the republican the traditional interpretation is that this was ideological free markets but it was actually the democratic administration which is not averse to some role for the state is there i mean station the very people you spoke to us that they. are the people who deregulated. and they completely have that of course was a misinterpretation of the history of the falconis what happened was we had

a repeat of common usage and on a small scale we had a meet with an implementation of a theory that is that the only fear they did was is actually the feet of flooding that you basically have an idea that when economies are now figured out what the prices of assets and what there is there's a lot of the tremendous multiplication of the financial instruments that couldn't be done by markets so now physicists become now economists who say the price of oil you know we're not through first i hate to interject one thing could you stand still is a bit of an effect of moving around this lake is full of it's a sickness and question i'd like to ask you if possible the picture. the issue of emerging economies so-called bric countries now this is also on the agenda for a what is the view on that among delegates about their role in the future should the u.s. and other major players be worrying right now. if you on this is of course they

are on the view that seems to be emerging is that they will start taking a disproportionately larger. car in their world consumption and the us. is by some estimates is expected to go down to as little as twenty percent is this other countries will actually have europe will be another twenty or the other the rest of the world we are sixty that's a major major transformation and though this concerts were so much bigger all this by world one hears here in the next couple of decades so this is all very bullish on the magic economy so i would say definitely if there's any positive news for the world economy there was talk about the people that supposedly will present a big car be there is they seem to be valued as a future with. roman friedman professor of economics at yale university is a funny old world thank you for being on the program much much appreciated and

think it's your cameraman as well for keeping pace with you. more on the conference in bretton woods on our web site r t v dot com and also while you're there to make a small washington bureau to you'll find out why some experts believe america is facing a revenue crisis is us corporations are funny tax loopholes overseas to screw away their profits got more on the story about it about dot com also online computer hackers so if it's safe for the state of getting industry why we'll find out why they're taking on sony and its best selling playstation right now again it's not c dot com. but it is the weekend so i guess we've never had an update in the makes our team has got a recipe for a special cosmic cocktail about the fiftieth anniversary of beauty car and becoming a first balanced place called has the recipe for this they say it's a beauty i don't know what it tastes like.

if. technology more than one thousand kilometers the length of a seed bed it's been dubbed as one of the most ambitious marine project server russia's nord stream pipeline which is rapidly nearing completion will provide western europe with a new level of energy security artie's ego got of me of went to the construction sites gates of progress for himself. might look like common in middle of a monday building so i put behind me is a key point one of the most vicious engineering projects undertaken anywhere in the world over the last few years. you can see just going into the ground and out the seat behind me is the nord stream pipe as the world's longest underwater gas pipe of the world's thickets and it's also one operating under the most pressure it's a flagship project for russia for over ten years before construction could actually

begin here and it's going to cost over seven billion years at least. russia is not proving that it is capable of initialising and carrying out such projects taking part in all the 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 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 in fact it's at the moment it's big 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 a 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 pipe objection was from environmentalist those in sweden and finland three 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 sea bad and also what might have happened if there were any kind of cyclic emergencies while in this respect gazprom under contract has not only gone and done everything to make sure that there are no. if you look nothing happened sort of point but i'm gonna start beyond the seaward of the baltic has been damaged already by previous wars and previous pollution and are actually going out of their way to restore. the condition but other objection was political russia already supplies nearly a third of europe's gas but russian a third of the business pipeline was going to bring a new level of security why i avoid it because of conflicts which are good transit

countries with ukraine and you have passed 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 the europe needs north stream more than ever. corresponding ego growth of . this saturday night at least ten people have been killed in clashes between egypt for reform movements of the ruling military in cairo. on firing live ammunition into the air descended on tahrir square to disperse ongoing protests demonstrators angry over a lack of democratic reform to respond. tens of thousands of people to take the streets of madrid to protest against the basque separatist group demonstrators are demanding that anyone linked to the party be banned from running for public office it comes in response to at every organizing in the jets advising is political wing an attempt to push pro independent candidates into office. the government is killed

seven people injured fifteen in a shooting rampage in amsterdam he ran through a shopping randomly firing an automatic weapon before turning the gun on himself it comes just a week after another shootout in the same time two people were killed two. russia is preparing to celebrate mankind's first foray into space as the u.s. retires its iconic space shuttle fleet with no replacement in sight resident takes the streets of new york to find out just what happened to american space missions. this month marks the fifth year anniversary of the first human may 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. my proud that man was walked out of my proud that man once crossed the atlantic ocean and found america i think it's it's

a good thing for people who are mankind to do new things and explore and learn no one cares and i'm 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 there's also more to do but is it worth doing if you don't think it is i don't know why do it why did it why did the culture used to think it was so important and now are like been there done being here barry is before we you know we got up areas now we've got our boundaries it's just too expensive you don't think of people living on another planet would be breaking a boundary and well it would suppose that far too many problems on the earth you can thinking of us actual space but weren't there just as many problems back than. perhaps there were those. were just so used to a. television. cinema. to show social space all the time so it doesn't seem to be so spectacular anymore i think it was it was

a new a new or new presidency and who ministration you know everything was new so that's kind of what obama ran on right so shit what must be a great time for him to stay let's really explore it be something better than nothing he'd see that happening no no no bombers should do what john f. kennedy did start a whole new space will groom really gets out there really. more as you never 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 i feel. a lot of people's focus on facebook and internet so what changed that we used to focus on it and now we don't seem to care and on the technology we understand a lot more about the universe through our you know telescopes and other resources but we haven't been to mars but we know what's there are a lot of ways we haven't you know how to build a good time travel no we haven't but how do you know that's even possible until you

try to speculate i guess but i will say why are we more focused on things like the internet and facebook because we're dumb yourselves down 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 that one giant leap for mankind. thanks for choosing all to see my name is kevin now in our program continues shortly with a spotlight show a year on after the death of the polish president the political elite are going to ask us are asked if the tragedy is pro russian poland close the gather or so war discord between them that's off to recover from a new stories just a few minutes time.
