i'm in the middle of a huge commemoration rally here in the very heart of warsaw near the presidential palace that is a central part of the city of course thousands young and old all 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 flames going to the flight recorders which were managed to which the investigators managed to decode 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 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 you don't have to just give the brother of the late president has been that 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 five to seven percent of the polls believe most of the people say this is nonsense and this it cannot be true that the commemorations of course will be held hold out poland during this day and we are keeping track of everything which is happening here. commemoration ceremonies have also been. actual science of attraction well it seems out of joins us live and if so what's going on where you walk. well as you can see just behind me home from the moon is here with the smolinski can i continue to come here to the. very sites where the plane

crashed down a year ago to pay their respects and a little earlier at ten forty one am local time that the actual time that the plane crashed a small remembered service was held here and it is of course follows on from yesterday were on a couple of others the rifles the polish president was here with the families of the victims to attend a larger memorial service where prayers were said and candles were lit they then also moved on to the sides of the cantina massacre and a very similar timetable will be followed here on monday by questions the dead of and come out of steve and of course all of this is an opportunity for those who seem to cause and reflect and really mourn the ninety six who died on that one five four that was bound for smolensk of formal saw commemorate the seventieth anniversary old the kathleen massacre on board was of course the british probably lech kaczynski his wife you can volunteer in chief of the polish air force and

poland's military chief. a lot of controversy has been surrounding this tragedy what's the latest disagreement we're hearing about. who when we were here yesterday the plaque but the spot where the plane crashed down was written in polish and it made reference to the fact that this is where the plane crashed down killing all ninety six on board but also those passengers led by lech kaczynski who coming to smolensk to commemorate the genocide that took place at katsina now we understand the smolinski original forty's either last night overnight or early this morning replaced up plaque which the one which is there now that plaque is written in both russian and polish the previous but reversed and only in polish and it also makes no reference to she what happened at scatty and more so. rational course he's

a saying is that they change the plot is they ignore the mission for the original plot there in the first place they wanted the pluck to be in both russian state the russians would be able to. displace as well as holes and they also removed the reference to cattiness as russia has not acknowledged that a genocide place merely that soviet soldiers did kill twenty thousand seven hundred years ago understand of the changing from this plaque is cool something of a rule in poland the general public but also among its. there is a morning on the one side and on the other side. there is a true being in the political game but we have to understand given the reaction of the average russian on the street and. the very positive reaction of both president medvedev and prime minister putin we have seen progress but also later on

some polish total forces they call in with of the conspiracy in organizing in quotation marks that crashed by russian authorities and. by polish authorities. well the latest twist of course follows the previous controversy that we've seen surrounding the release of the interstate aviation commission's report into the cool says of this plane crash they released their conclusions on the twelfth of january and they found the pilot error was mostly to blame of course compounded by my poor weather and the lack of visibility and the psychological pressure being exerted from passengers on board the plane all the crew salon's as soon as possible but still they conclusion was that pilot error was mostly to blame and nearly in poland's refute those conclusions saying that more

needs to be done to investigate conditions of the smolensk airfields here and also into the role played by grounds could pay had prevent the plane from coming into lands in those cold weather conditions but the underlying stress in that report is that ground so a few knots how the right to overrule the pilots who has also been salons and who then states that he will let's go back now a little more detail out that flight flight one a one bit brought the polish president and those ninety five all of this here to smolensk it's a commemorate of the cascine massacre of the tragic events that subsequently unfolded. yes. the final moments within seconds all ninety six on board flight one i won the day.

the time was ten forty one am on april the tenth i was out for the plane. with one of its wings. and so fast it question to the trees. for it was obvious that no one was going to survive the flames. ground control star there were no conditions to land mass requests with still made to attempt a trial approach transcripts from the plane's black box flight recorder reveal the crew were acutely aware of the rapidly decreasing visibility and also a pressure to land as soon as possible to go crazy yeah we don't know who he is what we do know is that a senior minister periodic we enter the cockpit throughout the flight and that 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 dense fog and poor visibility meant that the crew had in fact already missed their target 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 ripped a huge hole out of the left wing causing the aircraft to roll and within just five seconds the nose of that one five four had hit the ground hard at first we didn't know that there was a crash we know something has something wrong so from kathleen we're here we parked and we came here as it was possible none of that believe it happened we were talking about that but it was unrealistic 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 its prime minister would later died of its worst tragedy since world war two alice if it r.t. smolensk region. and in fact we can now see live pictures from warsaw where thousands of people are gathering to commemorate victims of that plane. and say they held a minute's silence at ten forty one time exact time of the crash when people near the presidential palace signed in hoping that when the sermon is on laying flowers and twin brother of the late president kaczynski was among those to have laid a wreath at a religious ceremony was also held at the military cemetery in the published everywhere the presidents are in the country as well surely. you can see the pictures here that's a seventy. president komorowski is there to learn the names of the ninety six victims of the trucks that were read out during set. in motion of the

outpouring that one of these events last year that there were something of a warming between the two countries but it isn't jack's investigations for things just threatens to open up new divisions but today the hot seat belt commemorations of course as you can see had with these some pictures i will be crossing live to buy all sort of crash sites incidents throughout. the book. 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 on in a place already synonymous with tragedy the world witnessed another disaster that left the country devastate. the united nations in great.

question more on the. girl two developments in libya now where the battle for the city rages on seen as the most serious push by gadhafi forces against the opposition since the beginning of international airstrikes for the rebels using the city with the way open to their main stronghold benghazi where your home sunday rebel helicopters were shot down as forces in the something of myself i said to questions aimed later over why opposition forces are prompting being allowed to ignore the un mandated no fly zone and some of the rebels themselves are becoming disillusioned that the level of natives help the growing number of so-called friendly fire casualties on the ground since the alliance took over the no fly zone twenty unseated r.t. fighters have been killed dozens injured by raids. this cannot has spoken to some

of the rebels in the since he was. a veteran of the libyan army moved any served 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. their 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 the north grows on operation it's going to mean more than one thousand stories the u.n. screens around the good of that every sport is have now been destroyed we displayed help from the skerries underground rebels are still being. laid to rest field there are civilians and. we daily are greeny marketers and yes they are building taking proper actions against the good nightly troops of the rebels taking the town on regular means clearing the way west i just wanted seen. there on

a new series of mortar attacks by gadhafi forces. treat. just a week ago because it was the revolution me we received the entire cd please need it support before i think it's to me that this was missing this can be it seems. to meet all the you want to scream six it's crazy as well. this one are becoming common seen me using need your feeling to protect civilians be our best thing for help anymore be demanding it. i think we're all they way too full for gadhafi to secure still we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow those. experts say arming the rebels wouldn't help us

win the war. is not so much aren't we arms training anything we force on our servicing of the us in egypt i'll call that retreat and even if you force is going beyond the mandate of the un resolution that is stanley . you've got this going off in libya. well i made reports that the coalition could revels in the u.k. government is already under fire of the spread of weapons british m.p.'s have criticised their own government selling of dollars to coca-cola the other middle east nations last year the parliamentary reporter said the risk of the weapons being used for internal repression was underestimated. as the story. security forces put down on the rest of the middle east with rubber bullets take gas and other irritant down munitions and they've got plenty of the u.k.

was still selling arms to libya just months athol colonel gadhafi turned them on his own people with government ministers approving a deal for sniper rifles bullets and. there are very strict guidelines that say where where it is likely that human rights violations might take place are not supposed to solve the weapons 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 protesters arms export 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 report 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 ports twenty seven million dollars worth of small guns and electronic warfare equipment from the u.k. and bahrain ordered more than ten million dollars of guns and crowd control agents dozens of arms export licenses to the region have now been hastily revoked but still days into unrest in cairo u.k. prime minister david cameron led a junkets to the middle east to flaunt the wares 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 a characteristic of british aid around the world over the last ten years has been the provision of this highly militarized security sector so exactly the opposite of trying to stimulate similar see we are providing the means by which those countries regimes can come down 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 guy. i reports also suggests much of the damage was done with british weapons be on rest started it least the government scrambled to suspend export licenses but this report is evidence that it plays the stable. to the fullest in both states when british weapons were probably already being used against civilians in bahrain and libya the government still hasn't ruled out oh make the rebels in libya everybody has to be seen but 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 its telecommunications equipment to the rebels but many suspect help of a different kind may be on the way to nowhere and. of course we'll continue

to bring you our exclusive reports on libya as well as exclusive videos taken conflict but. some pretty shocking was sent from the rebel stronghold of benghazi people have been mourning the victims often times and even download. free video service. find the link to the page which. to thousands of websites apart. from anything on the priest in finland is facing charges of inciting racial hatred . sizing one of the world's most wanted men an interview with our teeth his alleged crime according to. a terrorist. in this report. yes here is these may be the last days the so man where is his
