to the lack of regulation between the two countries. you're watching r.t. broadcasting live from moscow welcome to the program a year since the polish president was killed in a plane crash in western russia both country's leaders will meet today to mourn the victims of the disaster dozens of poland's political elite also perished in the accident remembrance ceremonies have been held to commemorate what's been described as poland's worst tragedy since the second world war well let's cross live now to alice had the actual start all over the last year scratcher a painful time for both countries. that's right kerry a very painful time and the presidents of both russia and poland presidents we've

had have come across the are expected here is millions a little later today they'll begin the day with a working lunch before coming here to the very sight of a plane crash to attend a memorial service we understand the new speeches will be given but presently said in flower was laid out then revolved at the side of the canteen memorial it's a very similar program to that followed by the polish president's wife and a ski here on saturday when she arrived with the families of the victims and of course the tragic irony is that the polish delegation led by let kaczynski which was traveling into russia or on the tenth of april twenty ten was coming here to attend the seventieth anniversary of the canteen massacre with a woman who's in pools were killed by soviet soldiers that event was to be hailed as a real milestone in the easing of tense russian polish relations but since that plane crash we have seen a real public outpouring of grief from both sides and of course yesterday we

saw huge in the numbers of mourners on the streets of iran a steady stream here in smolensk at the side of the crash and also outside the polish embassy in moscow led by the russian first labels a lot of it was. a year on or off of the plane crash where does the investigation action stand. well the interstate aviation that commissioner i.a.c. was a group set up by president medvedev immediately after the crash to identify the causes it was headed by the prime minister vladimir putin and consisted of aviation experts from russia poland and the united states and they delivered their report on january twelfth and found that pilot error was mostly to play well obviously severely compounded by very poor weather conditions and poor visibility and psychological pressure being exerted on the pilots to land by the passengers as soon as possible but essentially pilot error was found to be the main cause while

many in poland refute those findings and say that more needs to be done to investigate the conditions at the airfield here is molests and also into the role played by grounds could they have done more prevent the plane from landing with the i c underlines that normal aviation states that ground full stalls do not have the rights to overrule a pilot to stages his or hers intention soon lands but still poland refutes many of the findings in that i.c. reports and is currently conducting its own investigation we have been expecting the results of that polish investigation on the tenth of april as in yesterday poland recently asked for a six month extension say we will be expecting the results of that polish investigation into the colonel's at the crash sometime in october ok alice had for now thank you for that update. well as we've just heard it said yeah into the

investigation but warsaw is still finding it difficult to accept the results aviation journalist. believes that simply because it was such a high profile tragedy. the sensitivity of the surrounding this whole flight to catch in the history between russia and poland you talk about an air accident. in the worst possible time of the worst possible place and the fact is that the elite of the polish air force the presidential flights i think did up in a thousand pieces in a forest and the death of the head of state i mean it's it's not an easy pill for the polish swallow who think it's only natural that they don't want to take all of the blame for this they want to see if there is. if they can spread that blame around but the fact is that this is a controlled flight into to rain accidents and if this had been any other aircraft

operating any other flights. in the bin i think this the russian conclusions would have simply been accepted and. the fact is that it's part of the reason of this attracts so much attention is because it was president kaczynski on board because it was a high level delegation and because of the nature of the flights and with destination it was going. yes aviation journalist david kaminski maru from london there are of course we'll be bringing you more from science class throughout the day to get you can always log on to r.t. dot com for further coverage. when the news is not enough. when it's something really crucial. when 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 devastated. and united nations in grief. question more. to libya and where colonel gadhafi has accepted the peace proposal about african union after several hours of talks in the capital tripoli that is yet to be approved by the opposition sort of allegations next stop iran's rebel held benghazi so african president jacob zuma said the organization will call on nato to stop its bombing and give a sense of charts to swipe coalition forces aiding the opposition's of tripoli rebels are growing disillusioned there are the rising number of so-called friendly fire incidents. of this kind of reports now on how peaceful won't be easy to achieve. hasn't spoken with his wife winnie only two months she is in misrata and town in the west surrounded by gadhafi forces and he is in the east

i can't even call my wife i don't know whether she's alive or dad the front has been moving in both directions what's become clear is that without needle support the rebels don't stand a chance against gaddafi superior firepower but after antigovernment fighters were killed by mistake in nato airstrikes trust in the alliance was hit as one of. the african union has sent a top level delegation to tripoli which proposed a road map for peace he calls for an immediate cease fire and political reform which surprisingly he has supported me there's no there's going to be a shia led against you you can't even have said here which is really as if then did they. pave. the way. even though the road map includes plans for reform it's not clear whether it also calls for gadhafi and his family to

abandon. the way the political system in libya works is that. he is not a head of state he's more of a formal figure or a moral leader as he likes to call himself in reality this man is build a giant power well just wrapped around business and the government and is built on a circle of children people voles personally close to god and his family. turkey also proposed a peace plan which was rejected by the opposition even though even visit elections they deal did not rule out gadhafi son importing them. we couldn't agree with the initiative because it didn't guarantee that darby's entire family would leave without that guarantee negotiations are pointless. the african union is doing vision is doing the rebels for. on monday if the opposition leadership did pledge to listen to their proposal it doesn't seem the rebels are ready to put their guns

down how can we live in peace with this bloody tyrant shaaban with more civilians rebels and he's troops killed each year a cease fire is needed fast but unless the leaders roadmaps plans involve considerable changes to libya's political system this deadlock is unlikely to end anytime soon you go to school of r g. libya. but still ahead this hour on the sites where the i.m.f. and world bank the. forum hopes to reshape the world's economic landscape. in the past ten years dozens of russian children have been neglected least seventeen died in the care not to american parents you agreements regulating a process between the two countries maybe sign the soon as may but for now the wellbeing of hundreds of foster children across the u.s. remains on so many chicken. what would you like to me.

that such a tape which caused outrage across america and beyond an american mother recorded a video of how she punishes her adopted russian war and sent it to a popular t.v. show. yet but ramming hot sauce into seven year old christophe's amounts did not seem enough for jessica big a freezing shower was next year right now. we've turned a lot of different things to punish the kids spanking we've learned does not work this time it was only after the television troll that authorities looked into the well being of the adopted russian war jessica beagley was charged with child abuse the adoption system in the us is such that once a child is adopted by american parents the government does not provide any oversight as to how they're doing some believe because of the absence of supervision the suffering of many adoptive children remains on her adoption

agencies in this country are set up as a business because of the fact that they are dealing with human lives here and they're not selling cars or toasters it certainly seems to should be a lot more oversight more than sixty thousand russian children have been adopted by u.s. parents since one nine hundred ninety one fortunately most of these children are now lou and hopefully. new american families. soon to minority children dozens harmed and hundreds who disappeared the losses which cannot be just a lot one of the recent incidents that sent shock waves throughout the world was the killing of the seven year old evander scarab i got of was beaten to death by his american adoptive parents last year the russian authorities suspended options by u.s. parents after an american woman put a russian boy should adopted on a plane back to moscow on his own with

a note saying she will. a lot of him now russia and the u.s. are working towards an agreement which would provide better government oversight on the well being of adopted russian children in american families something that would mean regular visits to the families by social workers from both countries some say the biggest obstacle to an agreement is the overall secrecy surrounding adoptions in the u.s. in the united states of america once an adoption is finalized that child is considered the same as if to hear dr errants birth certificate gets three years should listing the adoptive parents they never even have to tell the child that they were adopted but russia says americans privacy issues should not be an argument for leaving thousands of adopted children without any oversight and protection they knew were understands you cannot transport the vocal put the interests across the border was old in the concert but small children will be

heated by plows and result in ignorance in the us people wanting to adopt pay private agencies who are assessments as to their suitability as parents is of course raises questions as to how objective those assessments can actually be and once a child is adopted there is no follow up on how they are doing it jessica bigley had not sent her video to a t.v. show would have never known about her punishment methods just as we don't know about how many other it up to children are now subject to domestic violence in the us i'm going to shut down r p washington d.c. . in front so women are now officially banned from wearing food face veils in public after a controversial war came into effect well the government says the visiting helping muslims integrate into society critics accuse president sarkozy of stigmatizing is not to win but from the right of a country with europe's biggest muslim population the risks igniting social tensions and some a bushel. just become

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 a financial crisis a group of influential economists and former policymakers have gotten together to try to rethink that very framework to reflect a different world we've got to how the serious plan to restructure the international and reconstruct the international institutions for the times that we are in and not for the past times that have gone the bygone 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. 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 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 u.s. institutions which has happened to some degree since two thousand the quality of the dollar and the quality of new yorkers and for the actual seller can deter 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 a 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 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 a dollar a global economy but no consensus at all on our how to replace it. just consensus on a need for change and hope will reverberate beyond these hills lauren mr r.t. new hampshire. we're going on to some other international news making headlines around the world in ivory coast u.n. and french helicopters are rockets coming into their own right as residents in the capital was being holed up in a bunker there really weak u.n. said the strikes were in retaliation for his forces and civilians. lost his grip on the country last two weeks are supporters of the international recognized last
