for the. we've got. the biggest issues get the cuban voice face to face with the news makers on the party. create a year on russia joins together with poland to commemorate the plane crash which killed the polish president since many of the country's political elite. also in the program a group of african leaders are heading to libya to try and ease the conflict approve a government ready meantime nato draws ever more fire over plug those in its military operation. on a world without the dollar top economists gather to discuss where the global economy is heading and the role of emerging countries.

to midnight here in moscow this is the r t international news channel my name is kevin zero in on our top story it was a fateful flight that killed the president and ninety five others memorial services have been taking place almost a year now since the plane crash in western russia which claimed the lives of the polish leader like a chain skier many top officials had been on the way to a commemoration ceremony for the victims of the one nine hundred forty cutting massacre carried out by stalin secret police he's a country was at the crash scene. it was a day to remember solemnly here in smiley and i tell a geisha not more than a hundred people mostly reality of some of the victims of the catastrophe gathered at the sites where the polish to believe one fifty four a plane crashed a year ago carrying president left his wife maria and many other of the country's political and. military elite announces

a the current polish president's wife on the kemar also had it the delegation was polish delegation in the beginning there was a flower laying ceremony here at the side of the plane crash and there was also mass observed here and then they had to the cut the massacre site only sum of money thought kilometers from here is very important to remember water was the parlors are behind the tree which actually never happens of the polish high ranking officials last year that was to commemorate something which carries 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 caffeine is a symbol of a double tragedy for the polish people now lost close dignified handling of the catastrophe aftermath has been very well received by the people of poland but a year on differences over the best a geisha is 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 dinner putin and to so on are 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. what branch tears 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. cutting has become a symbol of two polish tragedies and while the first we can judge only from history books the seconds unfolded in front of us almost broadcast in real time the plane catastrophe showed all we can. a ration of russians and poles those who didn't

witness the second world war how it is to suffer a national tragedy. there was however it was still irony it was these new catastrophe that he would many of the wounds of the past the symbolic heart was just the beginning a year of unprecedented joint work to find the cause of the crash followed my experience with the russian investigators has been very good they're 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 police because over toast with its hands in poland to push the blame on to russia this report is a joke for poland exploiting the submissive and it shoot of the government of going to school and i claim my claim my consideration and i would personally

ask that question of the traffic control so why there were not so hard to press the cruel the transcript of the palace last words show there were multiple warnings from the russian air traffic controllers not to land in a caucus and you had to reserve built bacon for b. the plane from landing because that would have been against international aviation law poland disputes russia's findings and its holding its own investigations huge diplomacy and politics should not hamper the investigation of facts for us facts of the most important of history suggests russian 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 even skeptics realize it would be a shame for it to be tainted once again by to beijing and scapegoating. r t cut being the smiley inscription. efforts had better relations between moscow and

warsaw were marred by a political struggle with poland that's the view of professor name cut off of the edge of verse spoke to me she's an expert on russia and eurasia. after the kind of reconciliation will start it's a wrong decision for instance to have the inquiry together to accept from the russian side to move more intensively in the question of catchin and so on and so on the relation has been hijacked by coolish internal policy and that high i think the main problem it has nothing to do with it was basically a fight for power were inside poor and of course as you know very well when you have a difficult electoral campaign and when you have political forces were obviously antagonistic especially towards from the broader of the former presidents towards the prime minister to ask you hard just what you can before seen it means of the tragedy was used to see that one must come soft. and for the other part to accuse

the brotherhood it would be too hard and coming back digging constantly into a kind of paranoia. and considering across the way can the reporting say 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 have the details of the crash came to light. when the news is not enough. when it's something really crucial. when you want to get down from brass tacks we bring you our special coverage here. in a place already synonymous with tragedy the world witnessed another disaster that left a country devastated. and united two nations in grief. if . question more on the potty. libyan leader colonel gadhafi has appeared in

public for the first time in five days he was shown on state t.v. inspecting the school at the capital tripoli where people greeted him with empty western slogans a group of african leaders are heading to libya in attempts to mediate the conflict between the government of the opposition but in another development british warplanes of its pro-government you crave ministry of defense saying of popularity where. their position is if you are sleeping the latest trick. 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 nature in 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 you nature secretary-general why regretting the loss of life has not come out and said that he is sorry for these in 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 mistook the fighters he's been now we're hearing a very different argument coming from the rebel commanders they say that they didn't notify the major beforehand that they had some twenty tanks in their position and that they were moving to the front line around the city of baghdad year a little bit towards a greater with those tanks it also seems rather questionable why nature 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 nato is putting forward is that the situation on the ground is extremely fluid it says that the frontline keeps seesawing forwards and backwards is 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 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 convince his forces from advancing some one hundred miles into rebel territory and that is true because right at the moment the duffys forces are off holding the upper hand in terms of fighting on the ground. ati's policy reporting from the libyan capital live for us earlier we spoke to lawrence davidson he's professor of middle east history at west university in pennsylvania he told me it that if nato is intending to help the rebels his tactics need to change all the operations center where the disaster is he says if the goal . was to facilitate the victory of the rebels rather it would say to

critics civilians and i suspect that regime change was in fact the 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. can take one could offer designedly if they. made it best i think there's a lot of confusion and when you get confusion like. you have even on the ground in libya. so i think in the near future and was someone can take this inherent. the french or british or whoever 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 is going to get really embarrassing. still to come in the program whatever happened to the space race.

saying it's too expensive there's nothing more to do in outer space well as those more to do but is it worth doing well that's a question we ask is humanity to trouble more down to worse problems to care about the final frontier anymore the president gave his reaction. that smaller one thousand kilometers inland from the seabed it's been dubbed as one of the most ambitious marine projects have russia's north stream pipeline which is rapidly nearing completion will provide western europe with a new level of energy security at his ego grodner went to the construction site to gauge the progress. might look like common in middle of a muddy building site but 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 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 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 here i don't see going to cost over seven billion euros at least. it is capable of nationalizing so short a scale projects taking part in all their phases starting from moodily constructing an operation. that is i think 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 was 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 it's other moments 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 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 vajra mentalists those in sweden and finland to have the country through the seabed to which the project will go through we're worried about the impact of the project undersea bad and also what might have happened if there are any kind of cyclic emergencies one disrespect got from under the contract because of not only gone and done everything to make sure that the wrong. if you look nothing happened sort of point could have gone a step beyond it's hard to see about all the baltic has been damaged already by previous wars and previous pollution and are actually going out of their way to restore song about the condition of their objection was political already supplies nearly a third of europe's gas but russia has started

a business pipeline was going to bring a new level of security void in the part of conflicts which have the 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 our world are playing into the hands of those behind this project with the instability it's obvious that europe needs north stream more than ever. because funny go girl major financial players from around the world are deciding the future of the global economy in the iconic u.s. town of bretton woods the summit held by billionaire philanthropist george soros is focusing on the place the emerging powers will take in the new world order let's talk about that this then find out what's going on r.t. the list is covering it for us live from the event loren hi there so we're submerged in from this meeting of minds so far in the sense that they've got the idea is to forge a brighter financial future. there's a sense that everybody is asking a question that they think are necessary in order to try to get there most of what

we've heard is some of the problems and some of the considerations that countries that leaders need to consider moving forward and one as you mentioned is the rise of the emerging powers the developing economies in the world we heard from u.k. former prime minister gordon brown at lunch he addressed the crowd talking about the role of bric nations brazil russia india and china their growth as ours in the globe and how this needs to be addressed and needs to be global governing bodies need to adjust to this if the west in europe and the united states are not going to decline he said does the rise of these nations mean that europe in the united states will decline said well that all depends on how they adjust if they're able to change or are able to invest more in education in science but he did say that this is going to take reform and so as one gets pointed out the emerging economies the bric nations are kind of the one high point at a conference where many people are talking about what needs to change in terms of the western banking reforms monetary tools and the u.s.

dollar as the reserve currency. is cheap what about the practical side of this what's practically on the table what's going to be what so what is being put forward is put sure will. yeah you know it's hard to say what will come out of this because this is a bunch of bankers gathering and though there are people here that are very influential over policy they aren't that actual you know this is going to result in a policy that comes out of this directly it's more the end you know it's at the fact that they will have to wait and see that some of the ideas and some of the gas that we've heard from involve more of a state role in capital markets the financial crisis being their evidence that that didn't work there's a lot of concern about that too big to fail still exists that banks could still. bring down the system and create another crisis better rules aren't going to place there is not a lot of confidence from any of the guests here that i've spoken to that dodd frank

or the basil rules go far enough so that's another issue another concern is that over the you as i mentioned the u.s. dollar is the reserve currency and in fact george soros said that other currencies it no longer really is other currencies are feeling not well as well the euro being one of the first vacation of currencies and something that was really blamed on although nobody really knows the alternative is a number of factors in the us economy and that's a g.d.p. ratio that's really grown and i think as i spoke to earlier is that he attributes that a large part to bailing out the banks bailing out wall street and not the public which has just hurt revenues in the united states further and driven it further into debt something that we didn't see dealt with as right here in the united states we saw the government barely of birth a shutdown and we saw them essentially only cutting thirty eight billion dollars from the budget which is nothing more than one trillion dollar deficit so really didn't tackle the deficit or debt issue at all if people are concerned about you

know if economy. has learned. from new hampshire much appreciated. to then as i mentioned the conference of bread woods is being led by george soros is in the new economic thinking its executive director robert johnson told us put it the first thing but the financial elite should do is to restore public trust in the system. i do not think people trust the government after the financial bailouts i do not trust experts and by and large we have to take that serious and we have to grow out of that by regaining the trust. to look at themselves in a credible or they embrace a new kind of social responsibility to rethink is the will of the experts one particular concern about the united states which is the center of the world since the middle class in the united states is really compressed there are experiencing what you might call a social graph. and three percent that most are doing very very well almost all beings from one thousand nine hundred ninety the present perhaps more than one

hundred percent of the talk one percent. that's just not that's not sustainable and that is not inspiring of trust people can speak with you mark or look at your ideas or your ideology but the proof of the putting is in the end when everybody makes a lot of experts seem to espouse their point of view or not so you hear of the entire society you won't really trust until you start reflecting the interests of everyone. it's midnight twenty or moscow a world few for top world news stories at least two people have been killed in new clashes between egypt for reform movements of the ruling military kyra troops armed with bats and firing live ammunition began descended on tahrir square to disperse ongoing protests the demonstrators angry over a lack of democratic reform avowing to respond. tens of thousands of people taking the streets of madrid to protest against the basque separatist. demonstrators are demanding that anyone linked to the party be banned from running for public office

takes to the streets of new york to find out just what happened to america's space mission. this month marks the fifty 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. my proud that man was walking 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 for mankind to do new things and explore and learn no one cares about going into space anymore 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 do it why did it

why did the culture used to think it was so important and our like been there done it being here barry is before we 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 it would i suppose there's far too many problems on the earth to be even thinking of us as for space but weren't there just as many problems back then . perhaps there 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 a new ministration you know everything was new so that kind of what obama ran on right so shit what must be a great time for him to say let's really explore it would be something better than nothing do you see that happening you know not let him know barack obama should do

what john kennedy did start a whole new room when he gets out there really. more zoom you know going to. 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. a lot of people's focus on facebook and i don't want changes that we used to focus on a n l we don't seem to care and technology we understand a lot more about universe through. telescopes and other resources but we haven't been to mars but we know what's there a lot of ways we haven't you know time travel no we haven't but how do you know that's even possible until you try to speculate and i will say why are we more focused on things like the internet and facebook because we're dumb yourself down unless you're one of those people that believe man in space with their hope 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.

well plenty of interest in the final frontier coming away just a few minutes in moscow where the team heads to star city where russia's most illustrious cosmonauts were all trained as the capital and the modern andrew scott the chance to prove that he's got what it. says is suspended by overhead wire and police a simple illustration rise to the same question as it would be the king of space myself and cosmonauts learn basic emergency procedures and how to operate the airlocks enormous emergency situations so far so good. will be. one hundred kilograms in the. cauldron of. five hundred feet palin and mike are growing ok thank you rebecca.
