one i am here in moscow you're watching the weekly from r.t. around the prove the top stories from the past seven days with me kevin now in and first one year on poland is remembering the victims of the presidential plane crash in western russia in which many of the country's political elite perished including the head of state president lech kaczynski commemoration of events have been held here in russia under still continuing in poland the tragedy however ignited a war being in historically frosty relations between moscow and warsaw but as alexia's rescue reports some politicians are trying to politicize the tragedy. while it certainly has been one a very emotional and very tragic day for poland just like exactly twelve months ago when i was here at the very same spot i saw huge crowds of people gathered here and so was the stories just. the story of today also being thousands of thousands have

been coming here to the square in front of the presidential palace in warsaw to commemorate those who died in that tragic plane crash near by the russian city of slavyansk where most of the polish political elite perished alongside with the country's president and his wife indeed we have seen lots of different services and vigils held across this city at the cemeteries where the people who died in the in the plane crash were buried a year ago their relatives came there to lay flowers in reach certainly the vigils that the most important cathedrals and churches across the capital and indeed across the whole country as well that's also was broadcasted on l.c.d. screens across the central polish capital even there it was even at a vigil held on the runway of the id airport from where the presidential plane to call for twelve months ago and never returned now is the rally here of the mass rally at the central square has had different colors all throughout the day first

it was all about mourning the dead then it became like a religious gathering with a vigil held right here in front of the presidential palace and now this rally has turned political with the remaining several thousand people here in the square chanting some political slogans in fact asking for the government for the prime minister's head and for the president's head believing that there have been inadequate in investigating this story many experts note that this has been the sentiment of the last several months in poland with the radical nationalist forces saying using very harsh and side russian rhetoric and even going as far as creating conspiracy theories that the death of the polish president lech kaczynski was in fact according to them how close between the power circles in warsaw and the ones in moscow something of course very few in poland actually believe in but nevertheless it has been all about emotion today and i had the five hundred.

feeling that the people who gathered here there were still more about mourning the dead rather than going into the political discourse and having been walking through the crowd all throughout the day i've seen tears in the eyes of the people they were holding photographs and candles trying to remember what exactly happened twelve months ago and how difficult this loss has been for this central rypien country. reporting for us. the actual site in western russia where the plane went down. ten mil for she one am local time that's the exact time that the plane crashed down a small remembrance service was held just behind me at the actual size hole of the crash whose two throughout the day more lives here in smolensk both russian and polish have been coming here to pay their respects in the russian capital moscow the russian first lady said nanda made that of the late her own flowers and paid her room respects cell size polish embassy and this of course follows on from

yesterday's events when the wife of the british president and a comet also came here with the families of the victims to attend a memorial service here at the smith airfield before moving on to the memorial site a very similar timetable to that would be followed by president's visit of uncommon all see on monday to help these very united and public health portions of grief from both the russian and polish sides we do understand that some in poland touch states press their concern at the news that the memorial plaque at the crash site behind me was replaced on friday nights we have not heard from the russian foreign ministry on this and we understand that local authorities changed up like because they say to misha was door granted for the original plaque and they also wanted a plaque in both russian and polish the opac that was up the side it was recent purely in polish and also made references to the cantina memorial to which let

kaczynski was flying on the fateful day this new plaque is in both english and russian as ministers here they say they want people from both countries to feel welcome to mourn here and it makes no reference to katty but let's caused all minds back now remember the details that led to that plane crashing on april the ten twenty ten. yet. in the final moments within seconds all ninety six on board flight one i was dead. the time was ten forty one am attempt. was when i was outside when i heard the plane it was flying really low with one of its wings pointing down it crashed into the trees and verse and circle of fire it was obvious that no one was going to

survive the flames were as high as a five story house. crowd control star fooled 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 revealed the crew were acutely aware of the rapidly increasing visible isn't there also a pressure to land as soon as possible people 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 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 that the dense fog and poor visibility meant that the crew had in fact already missed their target is coming in so land some fifty meters below the runway where the base of the aircraft began to

graze the tops of these trees in one particularly. huge hole out of the left wing causing the aircraft to roll on within just five seconds that those at the top of one five four had hit the ground hard and far we didn't know all about there was a crash we know something has. something wrong so from copying here we see and and we came here as a. possible none of that believe it happened we were talking about the. but it was. incredible that sense of shock and disbelief reverberated around the world is the news that began to spread that in a single move it suffered its prime minister would later dump its worst tragedy since world would see alice if it r.t. . many of the wounds of the tragedy of he had to heal hundred pole of the still debate about the circumstances of the crash but aviation journalist david kaminski

mauro told me it will be hard for polar different tests the findings by the russian investigators the facts of this case are fairly unequivocal you can. take a fairly elaborate reinterpretation of an awful lot of hard factual data to come up with an alternative to what the instate aviation committee has already published i mean there may be minor differences in what happened there's always room for a certain amount of interpretation and i think it depends on whether wants to start with a pittance and finish with a conclusion or whether it wants to start with the conclusion and cherry pick the evidence. the polish parliament is now brought in measures to prevent certain top officials from taking the same flight they've asian security consultant chris yates says it's safeguard which should have been introduced before one of the overriding . thoughts through

a long and hard about in respect to this crash is why so many high level delegates from poland were flying together on the same plane it shouldn't have been the case you know commonsense itself or dictates that when you have. such a launch on true. travelling long distances that you separate. those people across one or two aircraft such that it in the event that something does go wrong. that there is a succession in the chain of command was still left behind. when the eaves is not enough. when it's something really crucial. what you want to get down to brass tacks as 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 great. question . let me bring you up to date now with latest developments in libya where government officials say its forces have shot the two rebel helicopters in the east of the country is said the question is then over the effectiveness of nato as un mandated no fly zone adopted last month meantime the key city of nato forces have been bombarding gadhafi as army pro-government forces have been trying to retake the area from the opposition but to say at least rebels have been killed that says nato announces it's destroyed a significant amount of government ammunition and tanks across the country there's growing rebel disillusionment at the level of nato assistance and at the scale of friendly fire casualties since the alliance took over the no fly zone at least twenty and the gadhafi fighters have been killed and dozens injured by their raids

i think they go for second off to some of the rebels in the city of benghazi for. the better and awful libyan army moved any service all the way to retirement but now he's fighting for the revolution and is among a few rebels at the present with military training and experience the. forces are not even 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 into the u.n. screens around the. forces have now been destroyed we displayed help from the skerries on the ground the rebels are still taking abounding. lead to his field there are civilians in a strike zone and we daily hear the meaning of more interest.

to. just we could go because it was a revolution be we received the entire seat we need to support the probably gets to back this time because. see it be it seems to me all the us is tactics he's raising as well. this one are becoming parents seen me using knees all feeling to protect civilians they are there for help anymore the demanding if. i don't. think it was a way to fall for gadhafi to kill is still we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow us. to say arming the rebels alone wouldn't helps when the war with the rebels need not so much arms they can use in arms training anything we foresaw no servicing the u.s.

and egypt. and even a few forces going to. establish. you've got this one off or. elsewhere in the region syria yemen and egypt serve all also seen unrest this weekend as nato forces of libya some exposed suggest destabilization in the arab world as part of a strategy led by the us to weaken iran and win more clout in the region that is going to what you can find out who might be next on the list. as waves of public rage sweep through north africa and the middle east world powers jump on them as many analysts say in an attempt to direct the waves of unrest in a way that's most favorable for them in libya forging relationship with the opposition so that if gadhafi goes there are people there to do business with as syria popular raphe gather steam some experts say western powers might see the advantages of getting involved there to these three countries iran and syria are

the main countries that will not align themselves automatically to the global power elites or western powers interested objectives in warfare for good 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 remark in syria after income was mentions of you ran syria is obviously a strategic ally for iran in the in the region and without syria iran loses their their bridge their land bridge to lebanon and they're hit hezbollah in force and so of course hezbollah would 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 to be able american forces some experts even believe that this stabilize ation is part of the strategy the west perceives in the region we are seeing

reflects a strategy which includes our moms 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 even with very few perhaps no friendly countries in the region and that will leave iran pretty much alone at least in the arab world and will 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 a rabble lucia and follow the example of egypt's military syria. some heat. you just the way you. you ran though 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 u.s.

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 there 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 would leave you 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 i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . coming up on the program over the next few minutes searching for solutions the best financial advice gather the discuss the future of the global economy but with emerging markets where the driver of economic recovery we gauge opinion ahead also find out how the new crew of the international space station plans to value

a comfortable standing and not only on the internet but also in downtown house thinking the priest was the first openly say this was an outrage and the reaction was quick to follow. this guy. it's a hundred percent. what does the letters say these were the the evil i don't stop to fight against. god my here away from my father. you home all are we wanted police but in stand and without being prosecuted himself being sued for criticizing what anyone calls a legally operating organization and the same people who are promoting the. show they are promoting public opinion. racist. people of the church and which is of course not because more

easily consenting internationally acknowledged opinion about. international terrorist people walking down these quiet and prosperous streets may be unaware of the disturbing case of you harm or the rate they're used to thinking not their country as fair and politically correct but it would be remain just as neutral if tragedy knocks on their door here in helsinki people travel on public transport without fear of their neighbors in roughly four hundred kilometers away aren't quite so lucky. patrolled it's only a step from. extremist rhetoric to action and there is seldom a warning call with by being good for minority groups or you want to do terrible thing. if.

there are only one thing the where. there is quite a team 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 your dress and divorced his wife to your and his children at risk his now considering a move to russia exceeding aggression over our tea house in finland. where we spoke to pastor you were at length after he was questioned by the finnish police if you'd like to see the full interview is streaming on our website any time you'd like to click it our to your concert place to be for that along with the rest of our stories as well. the financial government and severe apart america is coming to an end with developing economies now taking a leading role that is one of the main themes of aid of a summit being hosted by billionaire george soros of the american turn of bretton woods it is laura mr reports from before. if these

hills could talk the economic theory they would expound upon. ladies enchantment please welcome ideas they could change the world of futures of. all or at least billionaire george soros bringing together ph d's and nobel prize winners with the backdrop of historical bretton woods would suggest someone is hoping they will. it was here allied nations came during world war two in crisis searching for stability they formed the international monetary fund the world bank and established the us dollar is the global reserve currency. it's here that decades later in the wake of the financial crisis a group of influential economists and former policymakers have got together to try to rethink that very framework to reflect a different world we've got to have a serious plan to restructure the internationally reconstruct the international institutions for the times that we were not for the past times that have gone by

gone time says brown are the centuries of american and european dominance with the bric nations of brazil russia india and china fueling more of global growth and they need a bigger seat at the table critics say in with the new should mean out with the old orthodoxy of bretton woods the i.m.f. for one i think. has mostly played a very destructive role promoting financial liberalization in many parts of the world which contributed tremendously to the financial meltdown and the handling of that meltdown in the u.s. with the billions to bail out banks that are still too big to fail is just one reason some of these critics give for questioning the u.s. dollar as the global reserve currency if you have capitalism and you lose confidence in us you've still to show which has happened to some degree since two thousand the quality of the dollar and the quality of new yorkers or for the interests that are could deter very very markedly and deterioration in political

will for tougher banking reform has some concerned we may be headed for another crisis turns on what one says about crisis but i have to say yes the concentration of power in finance is greater today than it was before this crisis but here it's mostly western academics talking shop a new road map won't be drawn up this time of bretton woods according to the man who still has obama's ear his former top economic aide and no one is going to run to washington to pass legislation next week but over time these kinds of ideas in the sphere after severe have had very important effect effects hard for some to see at this point and this fear. where's the political will for reshaping the world economy who has a proposal that's actually workable there's plenty of conversations particularly around the role of the dollar in a global economy but no consensus at all on how to replace it. just consensus on a need for change they hope will reverberate beyond these hills or in mr r.t.

new hampshire. next to the international space station where the russian soyuz rockets board three new crew members doubling the size of the team in orbit right now the mission set off from the same launch pad as your guard back in one nine hundred sixty one just days before the fiftieth anniversary of the historic flight crews spent five months in space and been tasked with conducting forensic scientific experiments as part of a hundred billion dollar program for a city report. after all spend most of their lives preparing for the possibility of going to space now russian cosmonauts for example takes about two hundred fifty exams a year and that's a distance of all the visible afraid they will have to go through all the hard man and woman put into their professions one of the thing they fear is something a little more about it and that's an unwavering solid dream of literally reaching for something big aspiring cosmonauts surrogate of retired watches intently as the so you see i'm a twenty one spacecraft is poised to to its vertical position at only fourteen he's

so certain about his future that he's already made headway he went to the u.s. and became the first youngster to spend fifteen minutes floating in a zero gravity environment hoskin arts training so my look at the plane was going out i thought the food weight of my body i could hardly move my hands this early start is something the first man in space you regarding could himself have related to and his speech fifty years ago marked the beginning of a long list of achievements in manned space exploration. for walking on the earth. to build a. the massive international space station is but it doesn't stop there next possibly a hotel in orbit yet another space dream. for this hotel project there will be four rooms at the station with enough room for seven people there will be to be

luminaries so that everyone can observe the stars of always wanted to become a cosmonaut but 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 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 in 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 bishops 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. for the i want to be the first to travel to mars and to other planets as well you see you can leave there in future. and like many space men and women he
