hospitals for treatment the belarusian president alyaksandr looking schenker is expected to hold a merge and he talks over the incident we're hearing in the last president medvedev has spoken to him personally offering russia's support to investigate what's happened here police still not confirming that this was a terrorist attack not confirming it was a bomb we know it was an explosion obviously we know it happened in russia more than that at the moment officially is no line on that. we're hearing that more than fifty people have been hospitalized they've been taken to the second and third clinic hospitals in the city some of them in serious condition thirty five victims we also here were treated at the scene there are no reports of any russians having been injured president lukashenko earlier on he was quick to take charge of this within the last two hours he said he was taking personal control of the situation and personal control of the investigation is also being there to that metro station to lay flowers in memory of the victims. the circumstances of the incident are

still being investigated the emergencies ministry has said it happened that seventeen fifty six minsk time which is eight hundred fifty six moscow time and when i look at it it was rush of course a terribly busy time inside that metro the fifth largest in the c.i.s. got a lot of people going through it even though of course minsk is not a terribly big city but we're hearing reports that there was a big crater left. near to where that explosion took place on the escalator witnesses say people were killed and injured not only by that point but also by a collapse we had some reports earlier on of people saying they were just so pleased that they got one guy a fifty two year old reporting as he got off the train there was a large flash an explosion and heavy smoke he said i fell on my knees i crawled of bodies piled on top of each other he also says he says. or a man with

a severed leg he rushed over to help him another witness says at least confirming what also we're hearing here at least part of the station the ceiling has collapsed after that explosion all right god will bring you more as we get it our correspondents are across the latest news wires as well as stay with us here on r t from moscow. russia and poland to mark in one year now since the plane crash that killed the polish president and most of the country's political elite remembrance ceremonies are underway in western russia at the site of the tragedy where ninety six people died last april but it's there for us. beneath that image there live 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 sunday april tenth that marks one year exactly to the day that that steeple of one five 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 military chief making the situation even more poignant is the reason why that plane had taken off from warsaw and that was for the polish delegation to attend the seventieth anniversary of the canteen massacre when over twenty thousand poles were killed by soviet 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 public and very united to splay of grief from both poland and russia and today underlined up there with both presidents here together attending a small poignance and quiet ceremony here at the exact size hole of the plane crash

here by the smolinski air fields before moving on to the site of the canteen memorial where more reason relays in the press saves. the interstate aviation the commission all i.a.c. was set up by president to meet him in dead of delivered its report on the twelfth of january and it concluded that pilot error was mostly to blame obviously severely compounded by very poor weather conditions dense fog and reduced visibility and psychological pressure being exerted on the players from certain passages to land the plane as soon as possible many in cola and refer. these conclusions and say that more investigation needs to be done to the conditions of the airfield here in simi land and also into the role of grounds they have done more perhaps to prevent the plane from landing in such dense fog poland will conclude its own independent investigation into the causes of the crash and after asking for

a six month extension we are expecting that independent police investigation to deliver its final conclusion sometime in october. ok will vote no to the main news of the hour the breaking news the bomb explosion a sudden i'm saying a bomb we don't know the explosion is really one of the russia today in minsk we've got some more details coming through as was reporting earlier on the ministry of internal affairs confirming seven dead and now being hearing on the news was from president alexander lukashenko the president of the eleven have died in this explosion earlier on today and is the latest pictures coming through have some thoughts as we're watching these pictures just some thoughts from alexander mcgowan he's deputy editor of the russian newspaper. joining us now. thanks for being with us i think you're in are you in minsk or morse code you're in moscow that's right thank you for being with us what do you think could be the cause of the explosion

here what's happened and there's been no official reports of there that there has been a terrorist attack but your mind obviously kind of thinks what do you think. well first of all it's a very deplorable event of course very thread rivendell that terrorist attacks actually spread through another republic of the former soviet union. well the reasons and the sources of this terrorist attack should be explained should be an analyzer especially agencies but right now it's much more clear that you know of these political staff political events to destabilize the situation am better public of bill rules and in my view the people who actually prepared these terrorist attacks were thinking about. influencing mr. president.

to take steps against the position. you know deteriorating be relationships between. russia and the european union and that's my preliminary guess where you're going through as you're speaking. to say he's developing fast investigation here he's. not he is urging not to russia is following on from the telephone conversation that president medvedev added a bit earlier on offering russia's help in this investigation to try and find out what's happened here ok good bye to the line you say in there if it may of been a terrorist attack if it is a terrorist attack any more thoughts on who could be behind it taking what you say about the opposition could it be any external groups. i think it's north korea's external groups which are which is trying to when you feel

a domestic situation in belarus of course it's not very clear. who these people are in reality but in my view this is a radical extremist group who are thinking of. imposing a new. routes and. i consider it as a part of the general destabilisation which we actually see it throughout the world what cisco domain for security now in maine ski in the white. wearing that alexander lukashenko is now giving his and the agency meeting i guess he's going to be calling on the authorities to step up security at all stations at the airports at all public places no i guess the general public are going to see a cloud yeah yes i think that has

a very strong security system and within maybe several weeks they will find out the major sources of this terrorist attack i'm afraid it might clear. that you know this will pick maybe two or three weeks can i ask you do you know you were told familiar with the tribune only yourself. yeah i've been to mean several times but i'm not an expert on. drawing me and say you know i understand just because you've got you've cast a better picture than i can about except not being on it myself i just really think you know is there anything that could have been done here it's russia thousands of people going through station just like every other city around the world during russia you know there's a limit i guess to what the authorities can do to try and stop this thing happening sadly it seems to happen year in year out doesn't it. well i would agree

with you on this point of course you know those terrorist attacks are taking place not only in russia but in many other countries including search. you know conflict character is afghanistan and in my view you know there should be some very close knit opposition underground groups which are preparing. to attack ok well thanks ever so much for your thoughts i examine the golan a deputy editor of the russian newspaper which means that to morrow thank you. we've got another line through as well it's unfortunate reading again we're hearing now a baby and also a few teenagers were injured in the blast the latest we have eleven officially confirmed dead that spy president looking showing himself he said that earlier on we heard that seven had been confirmed dead by the ministry of internal affairs two

russian citizens we are now hearing have been injured in the explosion as mentioned before there were no reports of russians being injured the latest we're getting through suggests that to have been caught up in that explosion there president alexander lukashenko the last few minutes is convened the emergency meeting with regards to the blast the number of injured itself as reported on by the russian t.v. is climbed to one hundred three should expect police in minsk on high alert after that explosion rushes off of support very quickly to present the present value of on the phone in the last few hours off ringgit support to help track down whoever was responsible for this if indeed it was a bomb if indeed it was a terrorist attack police aren't saying anything either way about it at the moment we do know though that it happened in a very busy central. mosque central metro station during the

rush hour a police cordoned off approaches to the. subway stations when it happened after that explosion and witnesses saying a big crater was seen at the explosion a roundabout we're hearing from eyewitnesses where one of the escalators was we're also hearing a ceiling could have collapsed there we're also hearing maybe. that the escalator itself collapse with bearing in mind misgives subway is the fifth largest subway system in the c.i.s. in terms of. flow let's catch up with sara firth now. even should the details the change. as obviously they come through we're hearing tonight now the two russians. i've been involved in love but you know our thoughts well we don't know whether they were the deceased but we we do know that they were involved in it but i thought so obviously very much tonight with the friends and family of the eleven confirmed to see confirmed by president bush and of course all

the hundred three people caught up in now the injured and the peripheral people i guess that we don't even know about yeah it does seem to be escalating these figures do seem to be climbing down by the close as you start these numbers of dead and injured climbing people who were traveling high a matter rush hour just expecting to get on the trade and turn in something together most serious as you said eleven nothing but we still don't have official figures on the number that were injured the local t.v. crews are forcing least a hundred and three people injured among status to some teenagers and the baby as well we saw when the late eighty's and started descriptions coming in from the eyewitnesses at the state the age of the people looking very dazed and shots coming out of the takes place here that we can actually hear now from some of the eyewitnesses who were at the scene when the explosion happened. like an explosion rather than

a malfunction i didn't think about anything it felt like i was dreaming and like there was blood in my eyes so. i was coming down the escalator and the first wagon or the second exploded i was on this clear and the roof came down it's hard to get out. but just to recap here bit on the details this happening as you said five fifty six pm minutes time keeper of rush hour loads of people coming through that happen to look to the sky much a station in the capital it's quite a central station a lot of people coming up the explosion such as happened in the us the late and and off to that as some form of a lot steve would just by just coming out. at the station with bits of plaster on the glazing there's a certain very serious injury at the spider now take this time it actually located near the main of this is the father is president alexander the same place he's visited the scene. is in the place this is having these emergency meetings now to

try and establish what happened i would probably be one of the main points of fakers because of course it's still not known what caused that explosion. going to be looking very closely here surfer thanks very much just a reminder to abuse of course we are the very best source keep you up to date on this story of the. c.i.s. countries we'll keep you updated online comments on our twitter feed here as well throughout the course of the coming hours this is our t. from moscow it is monday april the eleventh the latest in all means go ahead but let's catch up with some sport over the next fifteen minutes first with kate. hello welcome to the sports fans here the headlines. only some back defending champions and it could be docked a point after breaking the selection rules in sunday's draw. while the guns

a good party and was really good i had never been there before i've been to russia eight times but all the times i've been around him i says this is the first time in moscow that i enjoy it i'm interested in history and so so that it's that you have a lot of the one history has. been three so for the russians competing you can still go through one limper gold in vancouver last year as well as even cheaters of and unfortunately in however there was plenty of competition but the likes of target here ferry and michael grice olympic champions russia hasn't had the best of seasons on the world cup scene this year but unfortunately the locals weren't able to cheer on a home victory cheers of was beryl berra powers for much of the race a victory but eventually went to top it dear. course you're a bit tired of the long season. he's a very funny to show it's a lot of. people here watching us. try to make

a. good entertainment for them meanwhile his fellow scandinavian be on ferry said it was a great experience and he really enjoyed be events this kind of race is there here to stay because you can make it in. all the capital so you can make with our normal rifles so. it's great to russian entries in a women's event or his sights set on the slopes over but it was also another russian competing in a sequel. she was born in siberia but is now competing for survive here and she also got a cold in one cuba last year but remains of in the women's race proved to be a time to fan of ukrainian sisters volunteer and be to similar in setting the early pace however it was flips over who stepped up a gear following the final shoot and she would go on to claim victory and finally give russia's long suffering biafran fans something to cheer about. i think this event was surprised because to hold such a race in moscow is really difficult and to have it here is fantastic as it's our
