presidents of both russia and poland to meet that image head of bronislaw komorowski are in smolinski today to pay their respects to the victims of that fatal plane crash that killed the polish president lech kaczynski a year ago yesterday sunday april tenth that marks one year exactly to the day that that people of one five four crashed in the trees just behind me killing all ninety six on board those included the polish president his wife the chief of the air force and poland's military chief making the situation even more poignant is the reason why that plane had taken off from the ranaut was for the polish delegation to attend the seventieth anniversary of the canteen massacre when over twenty thousand poles were killed by some of its secret police something the soviet union had previously denied so the event was to be a real milestone in the symbolic easing of previously tense relations between

poland and russia but since that plane crash we have seen a very popular and very united display of grief from both poland and russia and today underlined that further with both presidents here together attending a small poignance and requires ceremony here at the exact size hole of the plane crash here by the school and scare fields before moving on to the sides of the canteen memorial where more reason related press stead's. poland and russia have not yet reached a consensus on the causes of the deadly crash when you think we can expect that to happen. well the interstate aviation commission which was a group sasol by president and even head of the new media is also the accidents. with president vladimir putin at its heads was. to establish the causes of uk

plane crash and use the expertise of aviation specialists from poland russia and the united states later live in their final report on january twelfth and concluded that playlets era was to blame for the crash compounded of course by very poor weather conditions dense fog and reduced visibility and most likely psychological pressure being exerted from certain passengers on board to land the plane as soon as possible but the major conclusion is that police error was to blame but many in poland have refuted these conclusions and say that more needs to be done to investigate the conditions of the runway here is my lens i do also into the actions played by ground star could they have done more perhaps to prevent got a plane from landing in such dense fog the i.a.c. reports on the line that according to normal aviation ground still do not have the

rights to overrule a pilot to restate his or her intention to land poland has insisted on still carrying out its own independent investigation because of the crash and we do expect the results about independent polish investigation sometime in october. of one. is our live pictures we're looking at from the site right now with memorial service still underway ologies hours however live for us there in the smaller screen thank you very much for that report. the crash certainly had a strong impact on russian polish relations or some argue it had a negative effect there are political experts who think it brought the two closer together last year to place a made of relations that had begun three months earlier and in fact the relations are in better shape now than they were two or three years ago so i

believe it was a test for the. little countries have much of the past that it's a minority all for the polish public opinion believes there was a real plot to kill president country ski. in fact it. actually exists because to outsiders it's mostly the most looks like some you know paranoid if you but majority is tired of the struggle and even more tired of the political movements trying to exploit the tragedy and be something not something that was probably. stay with us here on our t.v. still to come the battle of the burka find out how the latest developments in france have a government facing accusations of stirring up racial tension. but we continue first to libya where an african union delegation is attempting to convince the rebels to embrace a cease fire and start negotiating with colonel gadhafi state representatives are

now in the opposition held city of benghazi after holding talks with the libyan leader in tripoli khadafi has agreed to the union's proposal truce and says he's prepared to negotiate a peaceful solution with the rebels but the insurgents maintain they won't accept any deal that would see the colonel and his family hold on to power meanwhile nato stepped up its assault against gadhafi forces sunday destroying over a dozen tanks in the largest airstrike in weeks libya's been a ravaged by civil war since february with hundreds of reported tires will tease his skin all has more from the rebel headquarters benghazi. well it hasn't spoken with his wife winnie only two months she is in misrata the 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 for dad the front has been moving in both directions

it was become clear is there without needle support the rebels or stand a chance against you firepower but answer any government 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 it calls for an immediate cease fire and political reform which surprisingly has supported me that there is really a show like that against you you can hear me that i have said. which is really a man who has descended to the page plan to be a you even though the road map includes plans for reform it's not clear what it also calls for gadhafi and his family to abandon power the way the poll system in libya works is that officially god is not the head office he is more of

a formal figure or a moral leader as he always called himself in reality this man has built a giant power web which is wrapped around business and the government and is built on a circle of children people both personally close to god i feed his family. also propose a peace plan which was rejected by the opposition even though even visit the elections the deal did not go to the sun importing them. we couldn't agree with the initiative because it didn't guarantee that darby's entire family would leave without their curiosity negotiations are pointless. but the african union still given is now in the world. if the opposition leadership did pledge to listen to their proposal it doesn't seem the rebels are really to put their guns down but how can we live in peace with these bloody tyrant shaaban with more civilians rebels troops killed each leads clear

a cease fire is needed but unless the leaders roadmaps plans involve considerable changes to leave us political system this deadlock he's unlikely to end anytime soon you go to school of being ghazi libya. stay with us here on r t still coming your way setting the wrongs right. moscow and washington are on the verge of an agreement designed to protect the rights of adopted russian children in the u.s. but why in just a few minutes. but first a controversial law banning for face veils and public places in france has come into force anybody caught wearing one could be fined up to one hundred fifty euros in order to attend citizenship classes at least two women wearing muslim veils have already been arrested after taking part in a unauthorized protest against the ban as artie's daniel horowitz in a country with europe's biggest muslim population for law risks igniting further

a little. varies from place to place and actually. you know radiation. much further from the reactor but. now only. you know governments and i'm sure the radiation in that area though. kilometers from the reactors radiation is really high in every step you take just just so awkward thank you i can i can see that you know you really need to have actually a day when you simply based on the radiation level. preliminary child abuse hearing is being held in alaska after an american woman appeared on a t.v. show using harsh punishments against her adopted russian the son in the case a spark calls for better adoption regulations between the two countries russia is set to sign an agreement with the u.s. next month it will share the safety of children adopted into american families at

least seventeen adopted russian children have died in the u.s. since one thousand nine hundred two artes got into tricky on reports on this worrying trend. that is what you like me. wants us 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. but running hot sauce into a seven year old christophe's amounts did not seem enough for jessica beagley a freezing shower was next. and that right now. we turn a lot of different things to punish the kids thinking we've learned does not work with us well it was only after the television control that authorities looked into the well being of the adopted washington jessica beagley was charged with child abuse the adoption system in the u.s. is such that once

a child is adopted by american parents the government does not provide any oversight as to how they are doing some believe because of the absence of supervision the suffering of many adopted children remains unheard adoption agencies in this country are set up as a business because of the fact that they're dealing with human lives here they're not selling cars or toasters it certainly seems to should be a lot more oversight more than sixty thousand washing children have been adopted by u.s. parents since one thousand nine hundred one fortunately most of these children lol lou and happily there was a new american families were soon to nordan children gazans 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 even scarab i got that was beaten to death by his american adoptive parents last year the russian authorities suspended options by us

parents after an american woman put the russian boy she did not get on a plane back to moscow on his own with an old saying she knows. longer wanted him now russia and the u.s. are working towards an agreement which would provide better government oversight on the wellbeing 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 a doctrine is finalized that child is considered the same as the born chew here tucked just sharon's birth certificate gets reissued 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 in you were a distance that you can that turns poor even a broken foot peterson across

a border result in the continent but small children will be taken by thousands result in ignorance in the u.s. people wanting to adopt a private agencies who are assessments as to their suitability as parents this of course raises questions as to how objective those assessments can actually be and once a child is abducted there is no follow up on how they are doing it jessica beagley had not sent her a video to a t.v. show would have never known about her punishment methods just as we don't know about how many other and up to children are now subject to domestic violence in the us i'm going to check out our t. washington d.c. . for more on the stories we're covering on our web site just head over to our team dot com any time for exclusive pictures videos and more here's what's waiting for you there right now. because of pride of gears up to mark half a century since mantei and first step into the stars a new team has arrived aboard the international space station preparing to

opposition. period relatives up next with the business stay with us here on our. hello and welcome to our business update is out thanks for joining me and i will go straight to our top story now to discuss the issue let's go slide with a no from stan it and poor's equity research. hello christine now how credible do you think it's the b.p. is preparing to buy out its russian partners in. ports say is that likely to happen . and i think that partly has made it clear that he wants to try to get this deal through in a manner that's acceptable to all parties involved now this is a deal that would be very beneficial for russia it's a deal that's beneficial for b.p. and the people standing in the way are ten k b p on the contrary people here in

london are saying wait a minute why should they have id and k b p maybe b.p. should sell its share on kincaid b.p. the problem is who would buy them they've proven to be a very difficult partner so i doubt there will be many offers nevertheless that he still another option he will be a hotshot from for b.p. and i'm sure a lot of shareholders would not approve of it but it will secure the long term of b.p. it will allow it to go forward with the deal and start on a clean slate it's a big chunk represented thirty six percent of two thousand and ten production and with the gulf of mexico down he would be a big heat but it's also a new renewed e.p.a. although at a smaller scale the only problem with that is that of course you always have the takeover target rumors going around and that will make b.p. more attractive for a takeover christie leverage of the giver does b.p. have enough money to buy out its russian partners and change. but why should they

buy out here b.p. even if they had enough money they've got their money to continue to carry out exploration to pay the gulf of mexico made a big one of the deals on the cards put why push for that option and what do you think do you think it'll have to join. you know this buyout if it happens. i think that the op asked oddly specified it's a very good deal in which both parties when b.p. gets our teeth to the enormous resources in the arctic at the same time russia gets access to the technology and to a company that can produce those reserves and having to. deal makes no sense they don't have expertise in the arctic they don't have the means nor the resources and it's beginning to look as though in case you know there are a sort of whiplash in b.p. why should they be sort of deciding what b.p.

must do it's a very difficult situation especially because in russia there with a lot of uncertainty with the elections coming next year but i agree with mr putin and with. you know a doubling this is a good deal for both parties there are around six billion barrels of oil in that place which need to be brought bronstein and buying. prices at the current levels would not be in my point of view very smart move. actually do you think that there could be concerns in russia about a foreign company having such a strong role in a key strategic resource. well they don't have a strong role they're participating in the same way that for example total and start all will participate in stockman. and brosnan if it will be a new a large ns which means you know weeks since a signal to the world that ross native's an international global oil company like the r. burst which can work with international oil companies. they both have advantages in

going forward i mean it's not a case of b.p. taking over rosneft just it's just alliance like they exist everywhere else it shows that they can work together for the benefit of the advantage of both parties it's definitely in no way you know takeover attempt on i part you could argue the same thing you know why would you allowed rosneft to have five percent of b.p. they could take over b.p. they're a much bigger company but i think when you operate with somebody you know there we stress release professionalism. and you do you know there's no need to add more to the pile it is what it is it's a business deal nothing more. ok thanks very much christine just ground from status and power thanks for your time i'll just remind you that we have a report that b.p. is trying to buy out russian partners in according to recent reports on the financial times thanks very much. now let's move on let's look at the markets oil

prices at least slightly amid reports that levy and leader moammar gadhafi has accepted a peace plan to end the conflict in the country brant crude is trading slightly below one hundred twenty six dollars a barrel while the light sweet is around one hundred twelve dollars a barrel best sour. and prices for precious metals have reached another record amid concerns of a past growing inflation in the world gold is currently trading at around one thousand four hundred and sixty nine dollars per ounce gold silver is about forty one dollars per ounce which is the highest for three decades. and here in moscow the markets have given up earlier gains and are trading in the. read anything session them isaacs is currently losing more than point seven percent with energy and metal sectors leading the fall. that's all time that's all the time we have for this edition of our business out there but join me in less than one hour for more here on our team.
