a very similar timetable to pull on monday by president headed and most of you know he will soon be off opportunities. and remember and move on from the ninety six to july i don't not want my full flowing from the salute so muscular and it crashed here he's been it's gas field a year ago today almost of course was the kurdish president lech kaczynski his wife and the chiefest yeah cool sounds maybe she sent questions still remain of cool to the whole medical team how such an event now. these next and years in warsaw for such a huge crowds there where you are that see you what's the feeling in the polish capital today. yes kerry right now i'm in the middle of a huge commemoration rally here in the very heart of warsaw near the presidential power. that is

a central part of the city of course thousands young and old are here to commemorate those who died in the smolensk tragedy and this is only the beginning because we're expecting at least one hundred thousand people to take part in this commemoration march and this is truly an emotional and very sad day for poland. a minute of silence was observed at exactly eight forty one am local time that is the time when the presidential plane went down in some alaska according to the flight recorders which we managed to which the investigators managed to teco and this is of course the emotional scene here you can see there in the background there lots of people out here listening to the solemn songs and listening to the speeches by the country's politicians respecting it also kaczynski the brother of the late president lech kaczynski to arrive and to give some kind of speech here but this is of course emotions indeed with this part of the tragedies also being used politically in poland some movements including the movement of the nationalist movement of the it also could just go the brother of the late president has been

using some harsh anti russian rhetoric but they've been claiming that the investigation has not been complete and that's going to pass as far as saying that the certain conspiracy between warsaw and moscow to kill the polish president something only by seven percent of the polls believe most of the people say this is a nonsense and this it cannot be true they're just waiting for a proper investigation to be held and despite that the results of the investigation by the russian side have already been voiced some polls are still demanding a more thorough investigation and more details to be surfaced from this tragedy and smolensk of the commemorations of course will be held hold out poland during this day and we are keeping track of everything which is happening here. now alice you mentioned there about the investigation which was a tough situation for both countries what do we know about tales for the actions. of the instant. state aviation commission that's the i.a.c.

released the results compared with a shot on january twelfth and they found that plane that era was mostly like malta seems to be confounded by the weather conditions because you can see it and most like the psychological pressure being exerted from saajid on about flight down the plane seeing that the kill file it area was mostly supply a half of course that many incomings to a few seasons all powerful thing that more tension which takes into looking into titian's of yes you'll hear and smell that i don't since the role played by ground self could they have done more to stop the plane crashing however one of the points to rest in that i can see that this ground self ignores the rights of the pilots which was so let's go back now with new g.'s hat the events that took place on the tenth of april which is.

the final moments within seconds all ninety six on board flight one i was dead. its time was ten forty one am attempt i was outside and heard the plane was flying really low with one of its wings going down hill had been so fast it question to the trees and burst into before it was obvious that no one was going to see what the waves were as high as a five story of crowd control stuff or there were no conditions to land mass requests 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 a precious amount as soon as possible to go crazy yeah we do know who he. what we do know is that

a senior minister periodic the end to the cockpit throughout the flight of the chief of the air force himself was present at the time of the crash under these conditions the pilots continue their approach well having passed the point of no return the president's plane began its final descent the the dense fog and poor visibility meant that the crew had in fact already missed their target is coming in to land some fifty metres below the runway where the base of the aircraft began to graze the tops of these trees and one particularly tall birch ripped a huge hole out of the left wing causing the aircraft to roll and within just five seconds the nose of the total of one five four had hit the ground hard at first we didn't know there was a crash we know has had something wrong so from over here all we see and we came here as it was possible none of that believe it happened we were

talking about that it was. incredible that sense of shock and disbelief reverberated around the world as the news began to spread but in a single moment poland had suffered its prime minister would later died of its worst tragedy since world war two as if it r.t. screecher. well i'm now joined by my journalist to me to be from produce rain when he was actually here in smilin imitate the plane crash and then he cut the tail off now i understand back at the captain memorial five day forecast listen to the vice president's an attempt to have this. whole when you need. us we didn't knew what was going on but some were from some folks with the plane. the president. and phrases something something's wrong and start

a call from poland or do you know what do you see we didn't do anything nothing. try to check it again. and i remember one thing. guys from the from the studio from colon called me. last can you confirm that the president cheney's. shop. says no can not because i don't have information so i run on the street soon to run the street stop the car so the cab and say drive me to this one is carefree and say you are try i cannot go see some police i said try. you money give you all does go go on the street they go in or on the way if you came here everything was surrounded by police there were some apartments here the rescue mission was. in time. we tried to get here.

to see if you were still starving we were over there on the street. when you. saw parts of the. first information that no surprise your child. if you. were just short of say something cause people are waking. you from a she. also. still. was cool enough even my current friends. and. i did you.

expect to. say something like. the. president does. and we're going. to be a. real city. on the ground with the men here in the place. that is going. to join us they are our days to come back today's generation morial service is remembering long year old days it was pretty. dicey enough. to step inside. but in fact we can now see some live pictures from the wall sort of where thousands of people are gathering to commemorates the victims of that plane crash they held a minute's silence at ten forty one moscow time the exact time of the crash.

most of the people at the presidential palace holding a candle at ceremonies and playing the twin brother in fact of the late president kaczynski was among those to have made every nation an outpouring that followed the events and something to happen to you to come from space. rejection of investigation is final and since having to open up the motivations but that's a day their heartfelt cannot off. because of the crossing. they care about. when the news is not enough. when it's something really crucial. when you want to get down to brass tacks as we bring you os special coverage here. in a place already synonymous with tragedy the world witnessed another disaster that left a country devastated. and two nations in grief. if

. question more. two developments in libya now where two rebel helicopters have been shot down by colonel gadhafi is also is the city of basra has led to questions aimed at nato over why opposition forces are proud of being allowed to ignore the u.n. mandate and no fly zone in while the city of osh davia it's the most serious push by gadhafi forces against the opposition since the beginning of international strikes levels are becoming disillusioned nato has helped in the growing number of so-called friendly fire casualties on the ground since the violence took over no fly zone twenty fighters have been killed and dozens injured by the hotties you go north has spoken to some of the rebels in the city of benghazi. libya an army move

to only serve his country all the way to retirement but now he's fighting for the revolution and is among the few rebels at the front with military training and experience. forces who 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 the north winds on operation it's going to need more than one thousand sorties intermediate the u.n. screens around a third of that every sports is now been destroyed we despite help from the spirit on the ground the rebels are still digging abounding. later as field civilians in a starter we daily have grainy monitors and yes they have been doing taking proper actions gives the guy a few troops for the rebels taking the town of brogan means clearing the way west i just wanted seen the doors with which they're on

a new series of mortar attacks by gadhafi forces. retreat. just we could go get gas. the revolutionary memory seems to be interests seek ways to support the profiling people to that list goes missing. the it seems to me all the us is this is crazy as well protests like this one are becoming a common scene i mean you are accusing me of feeling to protect civilians they are asking for help anymore. demanding it. was a way to feel if you don't feel secure still we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow us. to say arming the rebels alone wouldn't help so when the war with the rebels is not certain which aren't so you can use arms

training anything reinforce servicing the us in egypt. and even if you force is going beyond the un resolution that established. you got this going on. but as nato gets bogged down in libya a new wave of protests sweeping across syria yemen and egypt some experts suggest destabilization is no accident part of a strategy. that's with us to weaken iran get more clout in the region. questions like the next on american this after the. as waves of public rage sweep through north africa and the middle east world powers jump on that as many analysts say in an attempt to direct the waves of unrest in a way that's more favorable for them in libya forging relationship with the

opposition so that if gadhafi goes their people there to do business with as syria popular wrath gather steam some experts say western powers might see the advantages of getting involved there to these three cars. iran and syria are the main countries that will not align themselves or that magically to the global power elites or the western powers interested objectives in more powerful in the middle east as for example egypt will do or used to do with hosni mubarak and definitely kuwait and saudi arabia syria is iran's closest ally in the region and the cost to support the revolving syria affan come with mentions of you ran syria is obviously a strategic ally for iran in the in the region and without syria iran loses there there are bridge their land bridge to lebanon and they're hit hezbollah in force and so of course hezbollah will suffer if the syrian regime was to fall and that would be stabilizing iran and weaken its power in the region which would be an

obvious benefit and b. in call american forces some experts even believe that destabilize ation is part of a threat against the west pursues in the region we are seeing reflected a strategy which includes amongst other points the generalized weakening of the sovereign nation states of the sovereign genes in the arab world in order to try to isolate iran. with very few perhaps no friendly countries in the region and that will then leave iran pretty much alone at least in the arab world and would facilitate further turmoil inside iran although the u.s. secretary of state has ruled out america's involvement in syria for now the country's defense secretary caught up with the syrian army to quote empower erap aleutian and follow the example of egypt's military syria. enter and iran america's list at some point they will. make you choose the way libya

many say iran's would be a tough card and no matter how much washington would want the regime there too far for now it's seen as a mission impossible i'm sure that there are some in the year. who would love to attack iran and there are others who would like to take over the iranian opposition i think they know that the iranian opposition is not so fond of the united states they have a long memory in iran people remember the role of the united states in overthrowing the precursor to the shah of iran overthrowing the democratically elected government of mossad back in one thousand fifty three so i don't think the u.s. would be welcomed and i think many in washington know that being torn apart by going to war and anti-government protests gaining momentum in syria the question on everyone's mind is who might be next i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . next hour a look at this role britain that one of nato's most active members has played in

the rest across the arab world. we. meet countries come tell them to see if we report on the scale of the u.k.'s arms sales to some of the most brutal regimes on the damage done with. a priest in finland is facing charges of inciting racial hatred after openly criticizing one of the world's most wanted men in an interview with r t is alleged crime calling the man behind the moscow airport bombings a terrorist nazis trover who conducted the interview has this report. yes dearest these may be the last days these man wears his pastor's color you hum lawlor faces being defrocked for speaking out against i use the word word terrorist use word president not to morrow and his internet mouthpiece become

a center the site was the first to publish the terrorists' words on the attacks he claims the business school siege the netscape express mosque a matter of warming sea and most recently the idea divert water tank 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 follow. this guy. it's hard to preserve. this what does the letters you slow though that if i don't spot the five. people caught my eye here away from work on the heels you one more we want to police but instead and it up been prosecuted himself been sued for criticizing what finland calls illegally operating organization and the same people who are

promoting terrorism against russia they are promoting public opinion labels more reclaiming the quarry is a racist who is a. racist. or causes people of the chechens which is of course not the truth because maurice already representing the internationally a calling. international terrorist in russia a manhunt is on for a morrow and people close to him but in helsinki you may end up dining next to his relatives but also more of a brother. reseller he lives in stockholm but loeb is he doesn't live with all the families and we can miss him quite often. people walking down these quiet and prosperous streets maybe unaware of the disturbing case of you home or the rate they're used to thinking of their country as fair and politically correct

but would they remain just as neutral if tragedy knocks 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 thought. actually it's only a step from extremist rhetoric to action and there is seldom a warning call with priding gets a minority i've heard wrong or who want to do terrible things. if. there are so many. who work but. 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 address and divorced his wife to avoid putting sure and his children at risk is now

considering a move to russia that we have a moral if you do feel that you even a democratic country i don't feel it's in a grouch over our tea house in finland. whether we spoke to pastor you have malaria right after he was questioned by a finnish police you can watch that interview on a website called as well as other reports the comments on that. earth's orbit welcome to some new arrivals on thursday as a new crew dr at the international space station it's a special mission as next week marks fifty years of manned space travel journey of russians a lot of stuff stays with us so use rockets named after the first man in space lifted off from the same as if you're going sixty one after today dr i sense the total number of people in orbit six. russian cosmonauts

a couple hundred. of the space notion that. to see the preparations for the national. guard's legacy still inspires future for space exploration. spend most of their lives preparing for the possibility of going to space now russian cosmonaut for example takes about two hundred fifty exams a year and that's one of the busy call afraid they will have to go through all the hard work with men and women put into their professions one of the thing they fear is something a little more romantic and that's an unwavering apology or green of let's really rethink. aspiring cosmonauts. intently as the so you see i'm a twenty one spacecraft is vertical position at only fourteen he's so certain about his future that he's already made headway and went to the u.s. and became the first youngster to spend fifteen minutes floating in a zero gravity environment house would not strain him so my look. i took the weight

of. as if i was drawing treats i could hug my hands but this early start is something the first man in space you regarding could himself have related to. his feet fifty years ago marked the beginning of a long list of achievements in manned space exploration. from walking on the mood. to building the massive international space station. but it doesn't stop there next possibly a hotel in orbit yet another space dream but would you for this hotel project there will be four rooms at the station with enough room for seven people there will be to be illuminated so that everyone can observe the earth and stars of always wanted to become a cosmonaut that didn't happen but i'm sure that one day i'll travel to space tourist price tag is a hefty thirty five to forty million dollars but there is

a cheaper alternative another project aims to send space tourists to lower earth orbit where they'll spend five minutes in zero gravity and see the planet in its entirety for two hundred thousand dollars. to some large groups of people to one hundred kilometers above ground be able to seal planets and the coarseness with their own eyes 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 red planet in the event this global ambitions becomes reality and when that time comes young sergei is certain he'll be ready to take on the challenge not mars i want to be the first to travel to mars and to other planets as well so the means of jupiter saturn you see can live there in future. and like many

space men and women he believes it will only be a matter of time that's our cilia r.t. baikonur in kazakhstan yes great leaps to come at a few moments we'll have the latest headlines stay with us here on alt. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from around flushing.
