here the famous. for the first human blasting off into space. and returning as the hero. the. question will come. four thirty pm in moscow the zero r.t. headlines russia and poland mark a fatal accident that tore the two nations apart but at the same time saw them unite to retrieve medvedev and bronislaw komorowski are in small lands commemorating a year since a plane crash that killed poland's president many of the country's political elite on the anniversary of the captain massacre. he's in libya depends on the rebels as the african union suggests a resolution to the conflict colonel gadhafi has agreed to the union's proposal and

says he's prepared to negotiate with the opposition the rebels say there will be no truce until the libyan leader is out. of trouble brewing in france has a law banning the burka goes into effect with many accusing the government of discrimination and racism against muslims at least two women wearing veils had already been arrested for taking part in an unauthorized protest against the bad friendship a new poll suggests some people think officials are deliberately stirring up racial tensions. the uprisings across the arab world have raised concerns in europe that a wave of refugees could flood the continent bringing with an islamic extremism but as a belgian foreign minister steven van akker he tells our t.v. an arrest is a quest for democracy and shouldn't be viewed with fear that interview coming up.

thank. you project for ministers to fit but i thank you very much for being with us today pleasure so better has a factory been without a garment longer than iraq has actually have all its does this mean that politics has failed but that's not absolutely true because we have a government we have a caretaker government and unlike situation so in other countries where after elections there is no government to do that the former government who was in place before the elections still takes the responsibility in a caretaker prosody it is a government that still has the majority in the bills and parliament and it's a government that is capable of deciding on things like the budget we have a deficit which is why better than the rest of the european union countries we have heard a very good experience in presiding the european union during the last six months

of two thousand and ten and also when it comes to our international obligations. taking part in some situations think of libya for example we are capable of mobilizing support from our parliament to take the right decisions so this means that you can really clear to you can government to build an economy continues to be productive and to work and of course it would be better to have a full fledged government the soonest possible but there is no question of not having a government what is belgium is caretaker government and the crisis in politics involves your say about the national governments in the e.u. are they really necessary or can we actually brussels just take their place oh i think it's clear that the european union is of course a formidable in this instrument but that does not replace the sovereignty of the individual states to its. clearly the twenty seven member states are still sovereign countries who have understood of course that being more united for

example economic policy is something which is in the interest of each and every country but the not such thing as a european government or something like european governance because. the president of the european council and compatriot of all this has been very successful in getting the different states of the european union closer to each other also when it comes to fiscal policy and i think this gives new opportunities for growth on the european continent do you think it has any theory that belgium evaporation and those are the words of your prime minister in one who is in charge right now given pressures of more independence across europe in general i don't think there's a question of evaporation and i'm convinced that we will be able to solve the difficulties and problems in the months ahead and have a look at the results that's the most important thing the proof of the pudding is

always in the eating have a look at what the results are when it comes to build. budget and build an economy and you see that it's very sound so one in six parcel residents are of moroccan descent but we have ten point six million belgians and of course in some cities like in brussels there's a situation where we have more than one hundred nationalities that is of course one of the advantages of being an international city and a city where the different communities can find their place but of course. the situation as far as the demographics is concerned is essentially based on being a country that is welcomed as welcoming each and everybody who comes to put this cross rules of the european union where you say that those people who are of arabic descent are well integrated into. society well depends. of course the integration efforts. still have to continue to work in order to be successful you

heard some comments for example from god our medical then also from people in the united kingdom speaking about the difficulties when it comes to the integration of honestly think that the builds and society is a place where most of the people are totally accepting each other and tried to make a good future for their children without having too many conflicts i must insist on the fact that even if the the there are some political discussions there is no bloodshed in my country for decades we have been able to solve our problems by talking and continue talking without using violence and i think that is also an example to be given to some other countries where unfortunately discussions and difficulties lead to to violence that is not the case in my country so. it's been said that while the coalition had acts that strategy in iraq didn't have an

interest rate in libya what do you think what concerns you have for libya future well the bills in diplomacy put forward three conditions in order to think that an intervention also a military intervention could be useful first and foremost of course it had to be a response to a legitimate question coming from the libyan population and the resolution of the united nations stating clearly that it is in order to protect its citizens. realizes that condition second big condition is that we need to have the support of the regional. organizations especially the arab league with the also as far as the belgians are concerned the african union for us a good relationship with the african continent is very important with the decision by the arab league to join those who thought that so. something had to be done with the menace of the atrocities that were committed by duffy well the fact that the

arab league joined these these people wanting to go to action was the second condition and the third of course was making sure that there was a legitimate a mandate from the united nations these three conditions being reunited. therefore logical that not only did belgian government but also the parliament with unanimity decided to contribute. some military efforts indeed exist that is now the most important thing of course is to understand that the solution of durable solution for libya is not possible only by military means it has to be something which is holistic and we need to be able to present a future or help. to create a future which has to be libyan led it is the libyans that have to decide on the future but i think that the countries in europe and the european union as a whole can be helpful in that respect not in the least in economic record

peroration q does nato here including belgium has a precise understanding this point who are helping in libya the syrians or the rebels it is absolutely about protecting the civilians and like secretary general of nato rasmussen said protecting citizens is not the same thing as arming them so the build and position is let's say quite a lot of blocs we have a good look sure of what was the reason lucian in the united nations in new york and for us it's about protecting civilians coming to a situation in which. is no longer the leader of of libya is a statement that is of course already made in the past before resolution i think three but it is not through military means. if we're going to establish that it's by a holistic approach which is not only military and especially also with

a clear focus on libya and self-determination that we're going through. such a future there with the recent unrest in north africa fear of migration of terrorism to europe what's your take on that i think that having more democracy can never be something to fear having the situation where i had a youngster still the. listen there are some rights that are doing it for some of the right to express yourself the right to choose their own leaders the right to be free that is not something that is only there for for some of the countries that's something which is universal and talking about the changes that come about in the in the arab world i think we need not to be naive but we need to see that this is essentially the quest for people wanting more democracy so linking the quest for more democracy with fear i do not agree with that fundamentally think that if we

are smart about it and if we help these countries to go in and their way towards democracy it will be helpful also for our democracy it's important so thank you for a century and a problem whatsoever thank you. wealthy british style. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with my next. those are for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser reports on r.g.p. . going to. space is one of our national security

the site of the deadly crash at smolensk where presidents medvedev and bronislaw komorowski will lay a wreath commemorating the ninety six and victims artie's cross talk host paedophiles joining me at the studio here and shortly we'll be joined by our t's alice cooper who is there at the site but for now we're watching the arrival of the leaders at the crash site there in the small and i believe that gentleman in the glasses president komorowski. received applied to be a wreath rather that are going to be laying over there going to be laying at the site there so it was i think it was less than a year ago that we were here and we did as he did if you will funeral of president kaczynski and what's changed in poland since then well i think for a lot of the poles. we didn't reporting you know the tragedy has brought these people together it is true but let's draw a line under this here it is made them aware that they have to communicate they have to work together both of them or both countries are involved in this tragedy

both peoples the world and they've had to actually sit down and stay rich other into the face which isn't something they like to do for a very long time i lived in poland for over twelve years i've lived in russia for twelve years and i understand if feelings to both countries have about each other and we haven't seen a remarkable change it's not remarkable we're gate with a very beginning here and i think that when looking at these pictures right here it is drawing a line under a path that they can work together but it doesn't mean you know they snap your fingers and we're good buddies no that's not the case there's a lot of differences between the two in poland itself and i'm sure we'll talk about this later polls are very much divided on this issue it's politicized unfortunately we see we don't see the. brother. mr putin ski with the

polish president there's a reason for that they are they strongly disagree with one another but what's important here is that to this this terrible tragedy and i feel my heart really goes on to a lot of the people in poland because it one point tom i knew some of them when i lived there and so. it had to turn a huge page is a huge human loss in russia went to great lengths to cooperate and again most of the dissenting thoughts are in poland internationally most people respect very much healthier the russian side was in doing and dealing with this tragedy and investigating it and what is moral one of the last acts we know that the polls will have a new report coming out in october i am not an aviation specialist so i'm not going to comment on that but well i will say is that international experts around the world are neatly moved here as we see the two leaders here moving away. and that alice hebert is live for us there standing by to tell us more about what we're

seeing here. well as we've just been seeing a president. laying wreaths at the very sight of the plane crash where of course lech kaczynski and the ninety five all the passengers on board his cheek rove one for life or dies a year ago on the tenth of april twenty ten making it ever more poignant for her because of stuff like this so that said the polish delegation led i let kaczynski was coming at to smolensk to attend the seventy one hundred three of the canteen massacre where the towels and poles were killed by soviet secret police. previously tonight by the soviets so that was being held as a very symbolic milestone in the easing of previously tense russian polish relations so the tragic crash in one day denied poland its president its first lady the chief of its air force its military chief so

a very somber day here in smolensk being commemorated by both presidents together they are laying their read saying prayers and lighting candles here at the site of the plane crash as you can see them be moving on to the sides think team that memorial puts new speeches about how it's they were expecting that simply of the sound of a trumpet being plays and just a very somber quiet needs here at the moment to hear and smell and see this is peter alona studio but there is a controversy though about plaques was there i guess they didn't resolve that at the last second or do you can you go into any detail about that. certainly the stone that you can see just behind me marking the exact spot where lech kaczynski plane crashed a year ago doesn't have a plot and now adopt plot was actually put some time on friday night we don't know

exactly when because the previous plot that was in its place was written purely in polish and also refers to the catty memorial this sports. plane crash down but i will say that that allegation was on the bridge to the canteen masochists this new plaque that sacred space on friday night is written in bruges russian and prudish and makes no reference to what happens at scantiness we have subsequently heard from the russian foreign ministry on behalf of a state that new commission was actually granted to play stopped in its original plan and that they wanted a new nazi prisoners playschool the arrival of the two presidents today say that aipac in both russian and polish should be history that moral is for both countries felt welcome they also objected to the word genocide that was used in relation to the cats in that massacre in the previous prague as russia has not admitted to

a genocide itself having taken the place but of course as the replacement about how schools on the other for rule in poland among the general public would also among certain members of the political community. are at our chains alice cooper live for us in small and then peter lavelle across talk o. is here with me in the studio as we continue our coverage of the commemoration ceremony of the plane crash that claimed the life of the polish president the country's political elite a year ago. hungry for the fulsome we've got it for us the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers.
