crashed in western russia our correspondents bring you now the latest from the two grieving countries alice had her in the small town screech and alexi years have ski in the polish capital worse off. indeed this is extremely sad and emotional day for poland i'm route right now in the middle of a huge commemoration rally which has a striking resemblance to the one last year in this very same square in front of the presidential palace several thousand people young and old have gathered here to commemorate those who died the ninety six politicians of the country's elite including the president and his wife who died last year in a small dance going in there and a tragic airplane crash now at exactly eight forty one am local time that is exactly the time when the plane went down in smolensk a minute of silence was observed here in warsaw ever since we've been hearing a different speeches by the politicians by the local politicians here including the brother of the late polish president get also. indeed everyone has been flocking

here since the early morning and the main focus now is on to commemorate those who died in that awful plane crash but this is what we see here this is of course the role on cut emotions but in poland now a days a year since the tragedy these emotions are sometimes being used in the political why now the party of the late president which is now headed by his brother would also pitch in ski it is been has been using a strong anti russian rhetoric rhetoric in the course of the presidential campaign last year and obviously will be using the same sentiments in the parliamentary complaint which is due to be held later on this year. in the sentiments are really harsh at times going as far as calling a conspiracy between the rival between moscow and warsaw that the plane crash in smolensk this is something only five to seven percent of the polish population approval of the rest so call this of these rumors as nonsense but nevertheless this

war awards continues with the country's prime minister trying to at the same time be friendly with moscow but at the same time trying to hold back the pressure of the of the nationalist opposition here in poland but how long this will last how long. this war of words will last of course experts are still still have no answer to that certainly a lot of controversy surrounding this disaster alice let's go to you in small towns tell us has that controversy actually reached the site of the tragedy. or we have a new developments here in the city just. you can see the still being surrounded by flowers and local media which marks the actual stillness where the plane crashed down here just see one hundred meters shy of the actual some of the scare feels and almost soon is a plaque and of course at least some time on friday night we didn't know exactly when the plug was replaced the old plant was written in coalition made reference to the fact that this was the smallest. you could also that he and the pushed

allegation were on route to malta seventieth anniversary of the county to genocide will this new plaque that replaced it sometime on friday night is no written in both published and russian and makes no reference to what happened at canteen so we felt from smolensk local all flora sees they say that they changed the plot because the mystery was never granted to the original that they wanted a bilingual plaque as they wanted both russian and polish mourners to feel welcome here and they also rue moved the reference to cattiness russia although it hasn't taken responsibility for what happens at the future who would genocide they do not acknowledge that genocide specifically took place there and this is just the latest twist in the controversy surrounding this plane crash back when detail of what happened on the tenth of april twenty ten.

the final moments within seconds all ninety six on board flight one i want dead. it's time was ten forty one am. i was out so for the plane was flying with one of its wings going down to heaven so fast it questioned the trees and burst into full fire it was obvious that no one was going to survive the flames were as high as a five story house crowd control saw there were no conditions to land mass requests were 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 increasing visibility but also the pressure to land as soon as possible to go crazy yeah we don't know who he

is what we do know as a senior minister periodic we entered the cockpit throughout the flight and at 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 but the dense fog and poor visibility meant that the crew had in fact already missed that whole is coming into 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 rich a huge hole out of the left wing causing the aircraft to roll and within just five seconds that those that supply of one five four had hit the ground hard at first we didn't all go up there was a crash we know something has happened something wrong so from copying or here we took a taxi and we came here as

a as far 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 that in a single moment poland had suffered what its prime minister would later dump its worst tragedy since world war two and a separate r.t. smolensk region. well those who were near the crash site on the tragic day awaiting the president's arrival say at first they could not believe what happened polish journalists rides near charge netsky share his memories with our team. because from the from the studio from poland called me i. can you confirm that the president let the chinese step stuff. so nobody can knock on my side on the street since around the speech so because the crowd say drive

me to the school instead and say you are trying i can not go so some please try to. give you all jars sold go in the street go on the way you came here. surround police the worst thing i can see you are a human. inside. we try to get here. you will see the sahara. the street. life. so it's the. first place it's no surprise. we're now looking at my pictures from the great cathedral of warsaw where a mass for the victims of the tragedy was being held by dissidents are most of.

them. are in. the same time thousands of people are out on the streets near the presidential palace as you can see holding candlelit ceremonies and laying flowers the twin brother of the late president since he was among those to have laid a wreath there and a commemoration ceremony has also been held at the military cemetery in the polish capital where the president and the country's military in the guy are buried. now the current president promised stuff komorowski is there and we will be crossing live through more saw and the site of the crafts inspired outs throughout the day here on out. and when the news is not enough. when something really crucial. what you want to get down to brass tacks we bring you

auspicious coverage a year. in a place already seen all of us with tragedy the world witnessed another disaster that left a country devastated. and united two nations in a great. question more. to developments in libya now where the battle for the city of rages on it's seen as the most serious push by gadhafi forces against the opposition since the beginning of international airstrikes for the rebels losing the city would leave the way open to their main strongholds bengazi earlier sunday to rebel helicopters were shot down by colonel gadhafi forces in the city of break up and lots of questions aimed at nato all by opposition forces are apparently being allowed to ignore the un mandated no fly zone and some of the rebels themselves are becoming disillusioned at the level of nato is help and the growing

number of so-called friendly fire casualties on the ground since the alliance took over the no fly zone twenty exactly fighters have been killed and dozens injured by the raids. has spoken to some of the rebels in the city of benghazi. a veteran of the libyan army moved to abdul ghani service all the way to retirement but now he's fighting for the revolution that is a moment if you rebels at the front with military training and experience. their forces are not even we are ready to face the tears but with these weapons we don't stand a chance against gadhafi since needing to control the north from his own operation it's going to mean more than one thousand sorties intermediate the un's queens around the third of that f. use forces have now been destroyed despite help from the skerries on the ground the rebels are still taking a barrel me. and later israel there are civilians in

a strike that we daily here give me more interest and yes they have been doing taken proper actions against the gadhafi troops the rebels taking the town of greg that means clearing the way west or just when it seemed they were north of it will reach down a new series of mortar attacks by gadhafi forces you already can retreat. just a week ago because it was revolutionary you know read seems the entire cd praised me zone for its support but before i think it takes to back your list of girls feel missing this can be it seems to reach the more medieval all the us is pretty tactics it's crazy as well protests like this one are becoming in common scene i mean are accusing nato all feeling to protect civilians they are asking for help

anymore and be demanding it i don't. i don't think we're all there waiting for for gadhafi to kill or still we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow us. but experts say arming the rebels alone wouldn't help us win the war with the rebels need is not so much arms so you can use arms without really being anything before scar now servicing that the u.s. and egypt are called retreat anti that if your forces are going beyond the mandate of the un resolution that established do not tell you what is going off towards the . media. there goes involvement is only maintaining a stalemate and we're going to rob lyons from the online political magazines. we're going to be in this kind of stuck situation where. gadhafi has made some progress. nato airstrikes help but the rebels are struggling to actually get rid of gadhafi

how this prolonged and very nasty civil war going on there in this position now where they're actually hoping to maintain a style move to train two sides and actually probably more people will die as a result of this intervention than this there's been no intervention at all either you have a situation where the later was able to go any further and actually just made things worse by not actually allowing one side or the other to win the fight or the slippery slope which becomes more and more involved to the point of which. are actually very heavily involved just as it was iraq's in afghanistan. but we'll continue to bring you our exclusive reports on libya as well as videos taken at the center of the conflict. that's footage from our reporters sent from benghazi where there's increasing anger with made us wonder is that have cost lives more exclusive images are available at our friends video

our website arteaga com as well as other reports and comments on the story. into panorama news search for bodies the earthquake and tsunami victims has been launched along the country's ravaged northeast coast this teen thousand people are still officially listed as missing and while in tokyo several thousand people took to the streets to call for an and of nuclear power protests come amid efforts to stop the spread of highly radioactive mark from the fukushima nuclear power plant until the pacific ocean happened is authorities promise contaminated water will soon be moved out of the crippled nuclear reactor to a waste disposal facility but neighboring china and south korea have expressed on marm over the radiation trysting in their direction in the ground and nuclear energy consultant on bernie says radioactive leak from the focus email client will have long lasting a fax on the environment. in the first instance the contamination will spread north and south of the coastline from the fukushima power plant which means to the very

cause that have been devastated by the earthquake in the tsunami so that's going to add to further on the on the part of the people living in order to cram according to the situation today in fukushima they have a catastrophic problem what we'd be more interested in is a bit to see the scale of the problem they are facing so our concerns will be coming days is what is the condition of that fuel melt where is it in the reactor has actually gone through the reactor building into the environment those are releasing really nuclides which we know will persist for centuries tens of thousands of years to shimmer is three reactors and many many more tons of spent fuel and it's contained insurable so this is an issue we're going to be talking about probably for the rest of the century and beyond. economies of europe and america are behind the now booming developing nations that was the message of former british prime minister gordon brown at the summit in the american town of votes and charges one was to reports the opportunity for other bric nations to move

close position has been much discussed. so far what we've heard this bretton woods conference is not so much a drop the world map of where the economic leaders believe the global governance and international financial policy needs to go but in general consensus that it does need to change we do hear criticism of the united states dollar as the reserve currency and in fact george soros saying that it really is no longer the main reserve currency that there is a role of the euro and of a diversification of currencies as well as commodities that is really shifting the landscape and one of the main reasons for this the base site is the rival developing economies of emerging nations such as brazil russia india and china which are now growing and representing the growth in consumption in this world while economies in the west the united states and europe are growing much more slowly and have really really suffered in the financial crisis so you come to two

thousand and ten for the first time that should be for nearly two hundred years america and europe that's the united states of america in the twenty seven members of the european union for the first time being produced and you think should export it to interestingly invested by the rest of the world now as far as direct solutions to come out of this conference that's very unclear there aren't exactly policy makers here that are going to enact some kind of reforms directly out of this conference but there is a sense that those that influence policy are here talking about the direction that things need to go in and that has a cumulative effect on the policies that we see going forward. financial leaders have no right to impose austerity measures on people to cover budget deficit some says activist and filmmaker peter joseph's full interview with him is coming up next hour but here's a preview. of measures there are an abomination. atrocity against

the general population as almost thirty measures have been from the world bank or any other institution because the problem is that the people they cut things like education these are the core of. the. why are they coming when obviously we're spending a lot of trillion dollars a year or the world where the longer the. earth's orbit welcomes the new arrivals on thursday has a new crew docked at the international space station and this is a special mission as next week marks fifty years of manned space travel the journey of two russians and one american started on tuesday when the science rocket named after the first man in space that's it all from the same launch pad is your garden in one thousand and sixty one after today's flight they talked at the i.r.s. bringing the total number of people in orbit to six one of the russian cosmonauts has also become the two hundredth person to the space station tests are silly i was

that baikonur to see the preparations for the mission and report on how gardens legacy still inspires a bone cancer from space exploration. after all spend most of their lives preparing for the possibility of going to space now roughen calls for example takes about two hundred fifty exams we're about to descend the world of physical training we have to go through all the hard work with 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 reach for something big aspiring cosmonauts surrogate of retire watches intently as the so you see i'm a twenty one spacecraft is poised to do its vertical position it 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 the zero gravity environment hoskin arts training this early start is something the first man in space utica got in could himself have related to and his feet fifty years

ago marked the beginning of a long list of achievements in manned space exploration. for 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 that it will be full rooms at the station with enough room for seven people will be traveling alumina it is so that everyone can observe the earth and stars i've always wanted to become a cosmonaut that didn't happen but now i'm sure that one day i'll travel to space a 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 of zero gravity and see the planet in its entirety for two hundred thousand dollars 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 sergei is certain he'll be ready to take on the challenge no marsupial i want to be the first to travel to mars and to other planets as well they say you can leave there in future. and like many space men and women he believes it will only be a matter of time that's our sylvia r.t. baikonur in kazakhstan. going to take a short break here in our back with a recap of our top stories stay with us.
