greetings this is our team broadcasting live from moscow russia's capital where it's three o'clock in the morning on monday i'm john thomas let's take a look at your top stories 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 events have been held in russia and in poland where more take place this week the tragedy however ignited a warming in historically frosty relations between moscow and warsaw but as alexey reports some politicians are trying to politicize the tragedy. well it certainly has been one of 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 is the story so has the story of today also being thousands and 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 the city at the cemetery 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 as a vigil held at the runway of the ikea 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 pollutes between the power circles in warsaw and the ones in mosco something of course very few in poland actually believe in but

nevertheless it has been all about emotion today and i had the five has the feeling that the people who gathered here there were still more about mourning the death rather than going into the political discourse and having been walking through the crowd all throughout the day i've seen two years in the eyes of the people that 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 from warsaw now commemoration services have also taken place at the side of the disaster. was there. ten no fool she one am local time that's the exact stealing that the plane crashed down a small remembrance service was held just behind me at the actual sun i solved the crash to throughout the day rule is here and smolinski both russian and polish have been coming here to pay their respects in the russian capital moscow the russian

first lady spoke on amid that of the late her own flowers and paid room respects outside the polish embassy and this of course follows on from yesterday's events when the wife of the previous president at an uncommon also came here with the families of the victims to attend a memorial service here at the stimulus airfield before moving on to the canteen memorial site a very similar timetable for that would be followed by prisoners who did it and come out all see on monday to help these very united and public help organs of grief from both the russian and polish sides we do understand that some in poland hundred eight suppress their concern at the news that the memorial plaque at the crash site behind me was replaced on friday nights we have now heard from the russian foreign ministry on this and we understand that locals med school authorities changed up because they say permission was granted for the original plaque and they also wanted

a plaque in both russian and polish the old plaque that was up the side was worse and clearly in polish i'd also made pressman's cantina a memorial to which let kaczynski was flying on that fateful day this new crack 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 the cattiness but let's cost our minds back now remember the details that led to that plane crashing on april the ten twenty ten. the final moments within seconds all ninety six on board flight one i won the day at. that time with ten forty one am on a fourth attempt. 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 burst into a ball of fire it was obvious that no one was going to survive the flames were as high as a five story house. 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 but 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 lee entered 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 but the dense fog and poor visibility meant that the crew had in fact already missed their targets were coming

in so 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 bows of that supply one five four had hit the ground hard at first we didn't know there was a crash. as there was something wrong so from coupling or here we get cracks and we came here as a possible plan of bad believe it happened we were talking about that but it was under all the stick 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 down it's a worst tragedy since world war two and i said it artie silence creature. many of

the wounds of that tragedy have yet to heal and in poland there is still debate about the circumstances of the crash but aviation journalist david kaminski morrow told me it would be hard for poland to contest the findings by the russian investigators but facts of this case a fairly unequivocal and you can see it would take a fairly elaborate reinterpretation of an awful lot of hard factual data to come up with an alternative to what the instate a geisha 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 the president wants to start with evidence and finish with a conclusion or whether it wants to start with a conclusion and cherry pick we have it and it's. when the news is not enough. when it's something really crucial. when you want to get down to brass tacks we

bring you special coverage here. in a place already seen all of this with tragedy the world witnessed another disaster that left the country devastated. and united two nations in grief. question more on party. moving on to libya now where colonel gadhafi has agreed to a ceasefire proposal by visiting african union officials it now awaits approval from rebel forces but they say there can be no negotiations as long as gadhafi remains in power african union president jacob zuma says gadhafi has also agreed to let humanitarian aid into the country under the plan the libyan leader is that forces have been trying to retake the front city. from the opposition have been recovering positions with the help of nato airstrikes but while the western

alliance says it's destroyed significant stockpiles of gadhafi as tanks and munitions across the country rebels are growing disillusioned over the rising toll of friendly fire casualties since nato took control of the no fly zone its air strikes have killed at least twenty anti-god off the fighters and injured dozens more are easy got a piece in after spoken to rebels in the city of benghazi. very be an army move to only serve his country all the way to retirement but now he's fighting for the revolution and is a modern if you're a boss of the front with military training and experience. there are forces for not even we are ready to fight to the death but with these weapons we don't stand a chance against gadhafi since need to to control the north winds on operation it's going to need more than one thousand sorties into the un's queens around the third of god and his forces have now been destroyed with discipline help from the skerries on the ground and the rebels are still keeping

a pounding. litterers feel there are civilians in misrata only daily have many more interest. just a week ago because he was still refuse to be leary it seems the entire c.d.c. needs to support the fraud claim kids it's just that your list of girls missing a beat seems to reach all the media mogul's told us it's pretty tactics he's raising that's what brought this one are becoming a common scene i mean you are accusing need of feeling to protect civilians they are asking for help anymore the are demanding it. well they're way too full for gadhafi secure still we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow us. i asked her say arming the rebels alone wouldn't

help so when the war with the rebels need is not so much arms they can be arms without training we're not going to be means they're reinforcing our no servicing that the us and egypt are called retreat and even if your forces are going beyond the mandate of the un resolution that established the north winds are you going to spin off in libya unrest has also been flooding through syria yemen and egypt this week and with nato forces stuck deep in libya there's speculation that destabilizing the region is the real agenda of the west has granted you can comments how the us is involved in a strategy. 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 wrath gather steam some experts say western powers might see the advantages of getting involved there to these three countries and syria are the main countries that will not align themselves with the magical to the global power elites or western powers interested objectives in north africa 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 iran's 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 being called american forces some experts even believe that destabilize

ation is part of a strategy the west pursues in the region we are seeing with 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 leaving very few perhaps no friendly countries in the region and that will leave iraq 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 and marriage has involvement in syria for now the country's defense secretary card with the syrian army to quote empower around aleutian and follow the example of egypt's military syria. or rather. some heat they were raised in. just the way libya many say you ran

though it would be a tough call and no matter how much washington would want the regime there to fall 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 only be 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. . still to come on the program searching for solutions. the best financial minds gathered at a visit to discuss excuse me the future of the global economy will emerging markets

institutions for the times that we were in i'm 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 outwith the old orthodoxy of bretton woods the i.m.f. for one i think. has mostly played a very destructive role by promoting financial liberalization in many parts of the world which contributed tremendously to the financial meltdown and the handling of that meltdown in the us with 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 called it capitalism and you lose confidence in us institutions which has happened to some degree since two thousand because well with the of the dollar and the quality of new yorkers or for the
