and so has 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 smolensk 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 of 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 either it was even at a vigil held at the runway of a v.i.p. airport from where the presidential plane to call 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 of 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 emotions. day and i had the five 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 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 country or his alexy are reporting there from warsaw now commemoration services have also taken place at the side of the disaster alice have or was there. ten mil for she one am local time that's the exact stealing that the plane crashed down and a small remembrance service was held just behind me at the actual suddenly solve the crash who's to 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 spoke non-image that of the late her own flowers and paid

her room respects outside the polish embassy and this of course follows on from yesterday's events when the wife of the put the president down on a comet also came here with the families of the victims to attend a memorial service here at the smith's care field before moving on to the county memorial site a very similar timetable for that would be followed by president's move it is unclear what all see on monday but to help these very united and public help poor use 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 no 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 plan and they also wanted a plaque in both russian and polish the old pipe that was out the side was worse

and purely in polish i'd also made press moves into the canteen a memorial to which that kaczynski was flying on that 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 katsina but let's caused all 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 zero one dead. the time was ten forty one am on april the tenth. i was outside when i heard the plane it was flying really well 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. crowd control star 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 decreasing visibility and also a pressure to land as soon as possible. crazy yeah we don't know who he is what we do know is that a senior minister periodic the end to 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 the said that the dense fall good 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 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 circle of one five four had hit the ground hard at first we didn't know that there was a crash we know something has happened that's something wrong so from coppin so here we. are and we came here as. was possible none of that believe it happened we were talking about the. but it was unrealistic 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 what its prime minister would later tell its worst tragedy since world war two as if it r.t. smolensk region. many wounds of that tragedy have yet to heal and in poland there

is still debate about the circumstances of the crash but aviation expert david letterman out from flight international magazine says the main facts are clear and praised the integrity of the russian investigation the m a k is a very very good agency which didn't merely do a good investigation of this accident it always does very thorough investigations of accidents this was an accident of a type which unfortunately has blighted aviation history we could see more in the future it's very simple the pilots broke the procedural rules that they should have stuck to for safety they went lower than they knew they should have done probably because they felt under such high pressure to deliver these very important people to such an important event it's such a tragedy for poland that people literally don't want to see the truth and it's an absolute gold mine for conspiracy theorists. when you say it's not enough.

when it's something really crucial. what you want to get down to brass. we bring you our special coverage. in a place already synonymous with tragedy the world witnessed another disaster that left a country devastated. but united nations in a great. question more. moving on to libya now where colonel gadhafi has agreed to a ceasefire proposal by visiting african union officials now always 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 of the libyan leader's forces have

been trying to retake the frontline city of darby from the opposition who've been recovering positions with the help of nato airstrikes but why are the western alliance says it's destroyed significant stockpiles of cloth these tanks simply nations across the country rebels are growing disillusioned over the rising to or friendly fire casualties since nato took control of the no fly zone its air strikes have killed at least twenty thousand fighters and injured dozens more okies a good piece going off has spoken to 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 a few of the front with military training and experience with their forces for not even we are ready straight to the death but with these weapons we don't stand a chance against gadhafi since needing to control the north for his own operation it's going to need more than one thousand sorties into the un's queens around got

at least forces have now been destroyed we display the help from the skerries on the ground and the rebels are still taking a pounding look later as field there are civilians in the strider daily have a meaning more interest. than just a week ago because it was a revolution the theory seems the entire city police need to support the front line it seems to me that this time was missing. it will be the it seems to me for you why is this true in fact it's easy grazie that's why. this one are becoming a common scene i mean you are accusing media or feeling to protect civilians they are asking for help anymore the i'm demanding it. for

you what are they waiting for for gadhafi to secure still we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow us. arming the rebels on wooden helps when war with the rebels need is not so much arms they can use arms training going to be reinforced are servicing the us in egypt are called retreat and force is going to. be new and most lucian that is down list. you've got this kind of. media. as the coalition is reportedly considering arming rebels in libya the u.k. government has been criticized by its own m.p.'s for selling ammunition to authoritarian regimes as i please or end it reports it appears britain was happy to put profit before principle in the way it was doing business. security forces put down our rest of the middle east with rubber bullets tear gas and other irritant ammunition and they've got plenty of the u.k.

was still selling arms to libya just poor months before colonel gadhafi turned them on his own people with government ministers approving a deal for sniper rifles bullets and take out. there are very strict set of guidelines that say where it where it is likely that human rights violations might take place for not supposed to sell the weapons and 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 are 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 reports the u.k. sold nearly three hundred fifty million dollars worth of arms there in 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 days into unrest in cairo u.k. prime minister david cameron led a junkets to the middle east to 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 this occurrence aristocles british aid around the world over the last ten years has been the provision of this highly militarized security sector is exactly the opposite of trying to stimulate some of prosy we are providing the means by which those countries regimes can come down and democracy will be on rest started if at least the government scrambled to suspend arms export licenses but this report is evidence that it closed the stable door long after the forces bolted with british

weapons were probably already being used against civilians in bahrain and libya the government still hasn't ruled out arming the rebels in libya it remains to be seen whether these damning revelations will make them think twice the pressure on western governments to arm the rebels is growing with colonel gadhafi sitting in his heels a string of high profile figures is speaking out in favor of the move so far the u.k. has officially offered telecommunications equipment to the rebels but many suspect help of a different kind may be on the way to lure emmet r.t. london still to come on the program. for solutions the best financial minds gathered to discuss the future of the global economy the emerging markets be the driver of economic recovery. and find out how the new crew of the international space station plans to mark your gallant aboard the adventure of fifty years ago. to finland now where a priest is facing criminal charges for failing ethnic hatred after speaking out

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 u.s. dollar as 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 brought together to try to rethink that very framework to reflect a different world we've got a serious problems restructure the international 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 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 i am. 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 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 grossly capitalism and you lose confidence in us institutions which has happened to some degree since two thousand because well with the over the dollar and the quality of work and so forth the interests are coming to tour very markedly and deterioration in political will for tougher banking reform has some concerns 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 at bretton woods according to the man who still has obama's ear his former top economic aide 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 the global economy but no consensus at all on how to replace them. just consensus on a need for change they hope will reverberate beyond these hills lauren mr r. t. you hampshire. moving on to some other international news making headlines around the world now. the people of iceland have rejected a government proposal to use it in their taxes to repay bank losses from the two thousand and eight financial crash which some for the country's financial sector

around sixty percent voted in a referendum opposing the payment of five billion u.s. dollars to the british and dutch governments both compensated their citizens who lost money in icelandic accounts the two governments are now to sue iceland in an international court after the no vote. in his first speech since being ousted from the egyptian presidency hosni mubarak has hit back at aclu accusations he illegally amassed a personal fortune while in office the statement from a tape recording was broadcast on al-arabiya t.v. it comes as public pressure intensifies for the prosecution of the former leader and his inner circle over the alleged theft of billions of dollars from the state egyptian authorities have stepped up investigations into corruption by the former regime with the former prime minister and mr mubarak's two sons being summoned for questioning. next to the international space station where a russian soyuz rocket has brought three new crew members doubling the size of the

a cosmonaut that didn't happen but 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 ambitious 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. for the i want to be the first to travel to mars and so the planets as well they say you can leave there in future. and like many space men and women he
