a twenty thousand poles died at the hands of soviet soldiers it was to be a milestone events marking the easing intense russian polish relations cross to alexina alexy was a great tragedy for the poles what's the feeling in warsaw this morning. indeed this is a very emotional day for poland and people are starting to gather here in the very heart of the polish capital warsaw in front of the presidential palace this was of course the scene of massive commemorations last year when tens of thousands from all over poland coming here to lay flowers and retrain in memory of those died in similar in this millennium plane crash we are expecting of course tens and tens of thousands of people hundreds of thousands people to take part in a commemorative march all throughout the day here in warsaw now this tragedy the latest one in some as is being used nowadays by some political forces here in poland and now the party of the fall of the late polish president and his brother get also is using some strong. and so russian rhetoric even sometimes going as far

as accusing moscow and the current polish government of a conspiracy in hiding what they call hiding facts of the investigation it is very unclear according to many experts where this political game will go but clearly these emotions of the polish people are being used in political ways some sometimes here in poland and alice the investigation was a tough issue for both nations what do we know about the details of how the tragedy actually happened. to the interstate aviation commission a c released the details of its report on the twelfth of january and they concluded the pilot error was mostly to blame for the crash of course compounded by very poor weather and visibility and acts like a logical pressure one of the points that's stressed in that i.a.c. report is that the ground fool self do not the right pilots it was always for

permission to land and he was stated that he does intend to land. the final moments within seconds all ninety six on board flight one i was dead. at the time with ten forty one am. i was outside and heard the plane was flying with one of its wings going down to heaven so fast it crashed into the trees and burst into full fire it was obvious that no one was going to survive the flames were a five story crowd control stuff there were no conditions turn around the request was still made to attempt a trial approach transcripts from the plane's black box flight recorder revealed the crew were acutely aware of the rapidly decreasing visibility but also the

pressure to land us. soonest possible you go crazy yeah we don't know who he is what we do know is that a senior minister periodically entered the cockpit throughout the flight and that the chief of the air force himself was present at the time the crash under these conditions the pilots continued their approach while having passed the point of no return the president's plane began its final the said but the dense fog and poor visibility and that the crew had in fact already missed their targets were coming in to land some fifty meters below the runway where the base of the aircraft began to graze the tops of these trees and one particularly tall birch a huge hole out of the left wing causing the aircraft to roll and within just five seconds that knows about to pull of one five four had hit the ground hard at first we didn't know there was a crash we know something has happened something wrong so from here we took it back

and we came as it was possible none of that believe it happened we were talking about that but it was. incredible that sense of shock and disbelief reverberated around the world as the news began to spread that in a single moment poland had suffered what its prime minister would later tell its worst tragedy since world war two alice had it r.t. silence creature. professor to the. vice chairman of the polish parliament's foreign affairs committee says some politicians are who are spoiling any progress relations with russia are using the tragedy for internal games. of course there is a morning on the one side and on the other side. there is to being in the political game but we have to understand that given the reaction of the

average russian of the street and on the other hand the very positive reaction of the president medvedev and prime minister putin we have seen progress but also later on some polish political forces they call in with of that already about the conspiracy in organizing in quotation marks that crashed by russian authorities and. by polish authorities. we go to live pictures now of the smolensko region where a religious service has been held at the site of the tragedy because they increase the actual site where here a presence a plane came to its course innovation pouring but followed events last year warming between the two countries but poland's rejection of the investigations verities as somewhat threaten to open up new provisions but today the heartfelt commemorations

of live pictures here of people paying their respects the incidence of calls for crossing letters words throughout the day parallel to. now to the developments in the libya where two rebel helicopters have been shot down by colonel gadhafi forces in the city of los. it's led to questions aimed at nato over why opposition forces are apparently being allowed to ignore the un mandated no fly zone. secured the city serious push by gadhafi forces against the opposition since the beginning of international air strikes the rebels are disillusioned with the level of maitreya's help and the growing number of so-called friendly fire casualties on the ground since the alliance took over in the fly zone twenty. writers are killed and dozens injured by raids. north spoken to some of the rebels in a city. very army moved. all the way to

retirement but now he's fighting for the revolution and is among a few rubles front of military training and experience. forces are not evil we are ready to fight to the death but with these weapons we don't stand a chance against gadhafi since needing to control his own operation it's going to mean more of them on. your own screens around. not going to have his forces have now been destroyed but he's going to help from the skerries on the ground to the rebels are still tipping abounding. don't need to risk fields or civilians in a strike to only daily have green year moratorium and yes they're building taking proper actions against the good night for the troops for the rebels taking the town of greg and means clearing the way west i just wanted seemed they were at the doors of the world instead on a new series of mortar attacks by gadhafi forces triggered

a chaotic retreat. just a week ago because it was a revolution me to marry it seems the entire seat police need all forty eight support was the right like it seems to be back this time girls feel the missing it week it seems to reach the morning meal feels good you like the script tactics it's crazy as well protests way this one are becoming uncommon seen mean are using media all feeling to protect civilians they are asking for help anymore be demanding it. i think it was a way to fall for gadhafi secure still we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow us. but experts say arming the rebels alone wouldn't helps when the war with the rebels need not so much arms training

not only the force on our servicing of the us in egypt i call group we train and think that if you force is going beyond the mandate of people and there's aleutian that established the north winds up you've got this going off in libya. well i mean reports that the coalition could rebels in libya the u.k. government is already on the floor of the spread of weapons but it pays have criticised the ring government to colonel gadhafi and other the police stations last year parliamentary report said the risk of weapons being used for internal repression was underestimated. and it was the story. security forces put down and rest in the middle east with rubber bullets tear gas and other irritant ammunition and they've got plenty the u.k. was still selling arms to libya just four months before colonel gadhafi turned them on his own people the government ministers approving

a deal persists michael rifles bullets and take out. there are very strict set of guidelines that say where where it is likely human rights violations might take place you're not supposed to sell the weapons but i would say looking back through a number of credible sources including amnesty international but it was always likely always very very likely the equipment supplied to colonel gadhafi would and could be used in the brutal crackdown of support arms exports is big business in the u.k. valued at nearly twelve billion dollars in two thousand and nine now a highly critical report by m.p.'s exposes the scale of u.k. arms sales to some of the world's most brutal regimes the libyan export licenses were some of the most valuable according to the reports the u.k. sold nearly three hundred fifty million dollars worth of arms there in the year leading up to september two thousand and ten in the same year egypt bought twenty

seven million dollars worth of small guns and electronic warfare equipment from the u.k. and paul rein ordered more than ten million dollars of guns and crowd control agents thousands of export licenses to the region have now been hastily revoked but still days into unrest in cairo u.k. prime minister did. cameron led to junkets to the middle east to the west of british arms dealers reports also say the government misjudged the risk of selling arms to countries like egypt and bahrain but many would go much further one of the things that you've seen is occurring to restrict the british around the world over the last ten years has been the provision of this highly militarized security sector so exactly the opposite of what trying to stimulate pursuit we are providing the means by which those countries regimes can come tell them democracy since the violence began more than a thousand people have been killed in libya and dozens killed and

a thousand injured in bahrain circumstantial evidence gathered by reports also suggests much of that damage was done with british weapons will be on rest started it a bit least the government scrambled to suspend export licenses but this report is evidence that it clears the stable door long lost of the force of both states but british weapons were probably already being used against civilians in bahrain and libya the government still hasn't ruled out arming the rebels in libya it remains to be seen whether these damning revelations will make them think twice the pressure on western governments to arm the rebels is growing with colonel gadhafi taking in his heels a string of high profile figures is speaking out in favor of the move so far the u.k. is officially off the telecommunications equipment to the rebels but many suspect help of a different kind may be on the way to lure emmett's r.t. london. which country following libya's footsteps.

with libya being torn apart by the war and anti-government protests gaining momentum in syria the question on everyone's mind is who might be next but he explores if the protests sweeping across the region are part of a covert strategy. if so. the priest in finland is facing charges of inciting racial hatred after openly criticizing the world's most wanted interview with the tape alleged crime the core of the man behind the moscow airport bombings a terrorist. trover conducted the interview has this report. you're a sneeze maybe the last days this man wears his pastor's color you hum mauler e faces being defrocked priest speaking out against i use the word work theorist use word. not tomorrow and his internet mult piece becomes essential the site

was the first to publish the terrorists' words on the tax he claims the business and school siege the nab skeets press the matter of war means and most recently the idea divert water attack the website is banned in russia but in finland it enjoys quite a comfortable standing and not only on the internet but also in downtown helsinki the priest was the first openly say this was an outrage and the reaction was quick to form a. piece by e-mail it's kind of preserve. what does the letters it's a load of the evil i don't. know if i'd. be able to cut my head or way of comedy if you home all the we want to police that in stand and without being prosecuted himself being sued for criticizing him and calls illegally

operating organization and the same people who are promoting the most rational being are promoting public opinion against maury is a racist. remembering racist statements about all. the chance which is of course not helpful because maurice only representing internationally a college. international tourist in russia a manhunt is on for a morrow and people close to him and in helsinki you may and are dining next to his relatives but also. with a crowd. of rizzoli he lives in stockholm but no it is he doesn't live with all the families and we can meet him quite often you see people walking down these quiet and prosperous streets maybe unaware of the disturbing case of you harm or

larry they're used to thinking of their country as fair and politically correct but would they remain just as neutral in tragedy not on their door here in helsinki people travel on public transport without fear their neighbors in russia only four hundred kilometers away aren't quite so lucky. a troll it's only a step from extremist rhetoric to action and there is seldom a warning call with biting good for a minority of very strong minority and want to do terrible things. if. if. there are many. who were. there is quite a teen after the pastor now finland's prosecutor's office the church and some of the world's most determined terrorists you home all the way has already changed her dress and divorced his wife to avoid putting sure and his children at risk is now

considering a move to russia that we have a double moral if you do feel that you leave in a democratic country i don't feel it's in the direction of our tea house in key finland. terrorism expert phil reese supports the militants in some states exposes the notion of a global world as a sham. militants and terrorists in the caucasus have always had close ties to afghanistan and i think that unfortunately what this shows is while the globe and the world can talk about a war on terror in the face a lot of countries still support other countries if they feel their political interests and their leverage over that country may be helped by that and i'm afraid that a tragic reality of global politics. so he spoke to the pastor you have malaria right

after he was questioned by the finnish plates you can watch that interview on our website article com as well as other reports and comments on that story. produced out export and invested that's how the former british prime minister gordon brown described the european and american economies and the summits in american town threatened woods but that's declined could mean opportunity for others result of these two explains russia and other fast i think nations consumed moving to pope position. we heard a 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 are able

to change your free will to invest more in education in science but you did say that this is going to take reform and so on as one gets pointed out the emerging economies the bric nations are kind of the one i point at a conference where many people are talking about what needs to change in terms of the western thinking for monetary tools and the u.s. dollar is the reserve currency and in fact george soros said it no longer really their currencies are filling not role as well the euro being one of diversification of currencies although nobody really knows the alternative well the financial leaders have the right to impose austerity measures on people to cut the budget deficits so says it's of a standstill because the genes of the food and to meet with him that is coming up next has a pretty forty. thirty measures or or that abomination. atrocity against the general population is almost thirty years of the world that we should

because the problem is that the people they cut things like education these are the core of. the cold. water because when obviously we're spending one hundred trillion dollars a year or. longer. now that's always welcome some new arrivals on thursday as a new crew docked at the international space station that's a special mission that's next week if two years of space travel. the journey of two russians and one american star damon so use rockets off the first manned space lift to go from the same launch pad as your guardian in the next one hundred but after today flies they docked at isis bringing the total number of people in old age to sixty one of the russian cosmonauts has also become the two hundredth person to step on to the space station it's amazing to me i was at like i want to see the

preparations for the mission and of course on how the guardians the legacy is to inspire as future space exploration. astronauts spend most of their rise preparing for the possibility of going to space now russian cosmonauts for example takes about two hundred fifty exams a year and that's one of the. fray they have to go through all the harbor men and women put into their professions one of the things they fear is something a little more romantic and that's an unwavering childhood dream of literally rethink for something aspiring cosmonauts. watches intently as the so you see i'm a twenty one spacecraft is poised to its vertical position i only forty he's so certain about his future but he's already made headway he went to the u.s. and became the first youngster to spend fifteen minutes floating in the zero gravity environment hoskin arts training so much with you. i thought the weight of my body as if i was to intreat. my hands with this early start is something the

first man in space you regarding could himself have related to and his feet fifty years ago marked the beginning of a long list of achievements in manned space exploration. from walking on the route. to building the massive international space station. but it doesn't stop there next possibly a hotel in orbit. yet another space dream which for this hotel project there will be four rooms at the station with enough food for seven people will be true so that everyone can observe the stars i've always wanted to become a cause we know that didn't happen but i'm sure that one day i'll travel to space a tourist price tag is a hefty thirty five to forty billion dollars but there is a cheaper alternative another project aims to send space tourists to lower earth

orbit where they'll spend five minutes of zero gravity and see the planet in its entirety for two hundred thousand dollars. to some large groups of people to run one hundred kilometers above ground with they'll be able to seal planets and the course. to do this they plan to use the ability of this plane to carry cargo on its body the plane will take off with a small space shuttle which will be released at a certain altitude but arguably the most of vicious of space projects is the mars five hundred experiment simulating a voyage to the rest planet in the event this global ambitions becomes reality. and when that time comes young sergey is certain he'll be ready to take on the challenge no mark buehrle really i want to be the first to travel to mars and to other planets as well as the means of jupiter saturn you can leave here in future. and like many space men and women he believes it will only be
