happened somebody turned mobile phone on and sent the footage to you tube a lot of smoke around people basically despite what they're going through were behaving carnley these are the shots i'm talking about. a couple of hours ago taken just as this event unfolded tonight the underneath the streets of minsk. signature with a bloodied hand is going to handkerchief over his hand again the person caught up in this having the presence of mind a guest to to film it as well as trying to get out. there with a black and face completely shocked. sitting down there trying to make out what what's happened obviously. there's a say a lot of shocked. people looking reasonably karmas referring to that just now trying to get out of the station as quickly as they could we're hearing tonight two russian citizens injured in the metro blast according to the russian embassy blast

thoughts with the eleven officially confirmed dead by president lukashenko earlier on in the explosion at the doctor prescribe ration the number of injured as well my friends and families climbing two hundred three sara first across the latest information for syria just look at those pictures that came through very shortly rusty said after this awful incident happened down in the metro tonight what do we know this explosion. this is said in the still think is they love think that that's by the batteries president aleksander the passaic play in stealth in lakewood siddiqui i reports think the least a hundred and three people have been injured and that explain a little earlier. that the recent price of the fingers on this the length memory dates. he's holding them as if the meetings at the moment and thought that one of the main points will be of course the child establish exactly what happened that is

yet is on board that explains the russian president that meeting with. offering services and helping with that investigation i was just the. i'm a faker spoiled as we said that these are confined figures now with the dead eleven people dead and could be tragic event people. on the much as a very central station and then still tell the style but i spoke to trains at the time an explosion said to have gone off only as the later and he's number of people would have been travelling through that side so we can hear now from some of the eyewitnesses who were on the scene what it was all. this seems more like an explosion rather than a malfunction i couldn't think about anything it felt like i was dreaming and like there was blood in my eyes. i was coming down the

wagon all the second exploded and i was on this clear and came down so hard to get out. i was going up the escalator of the metro station it was very busy full of people i only had about to go when i heard a loud bang intuitively i squatted down i panicked a little and there was no crushing through the barriers people continued there was a lot of smoke to be honest i was scared i continued walking there was a lot of white smoke i could hardly see outside a store an injured woman. was he said it's not been confirmed exactly what caused that explosion i said the minister status is eyewitness accounts contributing i love you to the information people pasting up information on the twitter accounts and pasting some of the footage of the pictures that you're saying that all knew each other quite harrowing image that people overseas are so i confused about what

had happened people coming out with the clothes birds and plaster on the clothes as well now after the explosion went off is told that they later possibly the ceiling around the area had actually collapsed with it contributed at today's engine we've also. as well as possibly being russian people amongst the injured there will stay cool to be teenagers and a day be as far as this is that people traveling rochelle the sleep next to me tries to compel them to because not then your for so much with them tonight syria russia quick to offer help to the country president medvedev was on the telephone to present a very quickly afterwards saying that russia would lend cisterns if needed in the investigation we're also hearing to the emergencies ministry the russian emergencies ministry is offering its help as well and the better russian emergency's ministry said the circumstances of the incident being investigated as

you say syria the authorities there are not confirming at all at the moment whether this was a poem we know there was an explosion we know it was russia. some of the victims reporting they thought it was a bomb but of course it's very difficult to say the official inquiry has to take. us to take over now the police have to tell what they think actually happened here . it all seems to center doesn't go round the escalating the early reports we had coming out from eyewitnesses were that the explosion seemed to be around an escalator there maybe that's collapsed as well we're going way yes. you can see the injury that it is there with people coming out of the next station off the place and they said it's a plaster on the clay thing is though that's when the possible plots as you said russia offering is help in the investigation and of course. the tragedy all

situations like that having dealt with this stuff just recently with the explanation it of the day that it is he said it wasn't the highlight this moment that hasn't been good it's not what exactly caused that explosion of course people are going to have side. i one thing was going on because he said these emergency talks are going on at the neighborhood starting that's going to be the focus i'll be investigations at the maybe the emergency services that they were working with they didn't stay here earlier on the eyewitnesses were reporting that there was a big crater to be seen near that escalator also some other eyewitness reports earlier on coming through a fifty two year old describing how he saw a large flash and then heard an explosion and saw heavy smoke he says and fell on the knees and crawls bodies piled up on each other just packing up would you say what you've heard coming through you as well sara this reporting. of

a society with a severed leg the city he rushed over to help him another witness reporting that at least part of the station's ceiling collapsed after the explosion again backing up what you're being told as well the president examined. her quick doesn't need to take control of this investigation i mean five he's ease also being to the metro station as well tonight present at really very see nothing happened he said he was taking the situation under his personal things. very quickly visit the scene of the place and laid flowers that. the people. of the theater response to the tragedy of the incident are the numbers they keep rising this evening that that happens as he said beloved. by the gallery by the years. actually falling for you all saying there were no getting another line in just as you speaking saying that one hundred twenty six people have been hospitalized twenty

two of them are in a serious condition we've been reporting for the last hour the number of injured according to belorussian to be was one hundred three m. sadly that figure has now gone up according to latest reports. just to bring you into the loop as well as i probably know more than you do there at the moment on this one hundred twenty six hospitalized twenty two in a serious condition sadly we're hearing is one some of those injuries are serious and indeed there have been eleven confirmed dead by president looking. metro's a pretty busy mayor truesdell is not particularly big. population of some two million but it is one of the largest subway systems in the c.i.s. is now in terms of passenger flow absolutely and of course takes place in couldn't have happened at a worse time it was. five fifty six pm local time so a lot of people were getting five link three that matched the station. at the time

so i see each number again see that table style that. is a place that's a station that's actually very. little saying case me this. really could not happen in the worst time and he said these numbers just keep on rising. people traveling to russia i just kind of had high even over the course of this very tragic incident and basically being taken to hospital and treated now for the injury here the metro station. is also a juxtaposition of two lines or the other line there the other station the railway station and we hear that eyewitnesses say that the explosion happened as two trains were coming into the station just as people were getting off ok well thank you sir for bringing us up to date on what you know we'll come back to little bit later. i spoke to delhi summers he's executive director of think tank links he told me the

explosion in the pelosi metro does seem similar to terrorist attacks in moscow and other european capitals. there is a possibility that it is a terrorist and if it is it will fall into a pattern of similar terrorist attacks that we've seen in different european cities. has not been a target before in this way and perhaps an obvious target for a terrorist attack but here we are we have a situation that could very well possibly be a terrorist attack but i would dismiss that this is somehow connected with internal belorussian political situation because the. moves in a different way and we have never seen examples of this kind of violence clearly. is not immune to these kind of incidents that we've seen in moscow that we've seen in london that we've seen in other places and so this would obviously be

a number of alarm bells among the authorities and about a russian capital this evening. as i said. we really have to see exactly what happened whether this was a terrorist attack or a remote it could also be simply an accident of a different sort. fred with from the christian science knowledge he told me suspects political tensions inside barrow's may have led to a terrorist movement behind the natural explosion we've seen. hillary is not a country that has. normal. for lack of a better word terrorist take problems it's not the usual destination for terrorists it doesn't have a church or some related internal problem that would make it a target for that but it does have a school leading political tensions within its own society it would represent

a radical people from peaceful means of protest at the word used in the past so that means suggest insurable would call dissenters going over to terrorist tactics i thought early thoughts from fred were about what's happened tonight in minsk and will be abating you as well on the latest from belarus on air and online you can step up to date on our twitter stream that said r.t. underscore com and you are posting the latest information there soon as we get it you can keep track of what's happening in minsk you can comment on the events as they are unfold as well online all the time twitter dot com slash r t underscore kong. so look some of the news russia and poland marking one year since the plane crash killed the polish president 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 fourth. permitted

event 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 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 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 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 public and very united display of grief from both poland and russia and today underlined up there with both presidents here together attending a small poignance and a quiet ceremony here at the exact size hole of the plane crash here by the selenski airfield before moving on to the site of the canteen memorial where mores relays in the press said. the interstate aviation the commission all i.a.c. with president dmitri medvedev delivered its report on the twelfth of january and he 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 pilots from certain passengers to land the plane as soon as possible many in poland refer. those conclusions and say that more

investigation needs to be done to the conditions of the airfield here in selenski and also into the role of ground staff here could 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 investigation to deliver its final conclusion sometime in october. latest from libya and there the rebels have objected the african union's proposal for a cease fire negotiations with colonel gadhafi representatives failed to convince rebel leaders in the opposition held city of benghazi after holding talks with gadhafi in tripoli on sunday that afi agreed to the union's proposal of a truce but his forces resumed attacks on rebel positions on monday and surgeon say they won't accept any deal that will see the family hold on to power meanwhile nato
