the data should be we just came there was a trial radio and woman was crying and running around something was excluded only time whether this was a crash landing attempt by the pilot or whether the plane simply lost altitude and hit that road isn't clear but it was a hard enough impact to make the plane break apart burst into flames which caused the majority of these casualties the plane itself was a tupelo one three four an old plane designed and built back in the one nine hundred sixty s. but still widely used for internal flights around russia at the moment the russian emergencies ministry is keeping its mind open as to what may have caused this crash they're made in a pop played by adverse weather conditions at the site of the crash as far as the company goes we contacted the company and at the moment they declined to comment on the possible causes of the crash so the moment it's down to that investigation to try and find out what did cause this tragic plane crash. and we will be

updating you on that story later right now nato has continued ates raid on tripoli launching another missile strike against a compound in which we've been officials claim at least fifteen people died including three children the time comes just twenty four hours after the alliance has admitted killing up to nine civilians and another as strike on a neighborhood in the capital and on sunday when she blamed on a technical say again marina marie if the notion reports now from tripoli with some images you may find disturbing. to. mohammad that hurt his extended family used to be one of the biggest in the neighborhood and a terrible mean killed filed within by his father one of his brothers a sister and her own family mohammed shows us the picture of little jumana his niece taken on his mobile phone does days before he pulled her dead body from on the day. i woke up when i heard an explosion she started it he said the roof fell

on me i ran immediately to see how my family is and many were dead my mother survived another brother is in a coma and we don't know when or if he will recover that how does that not reach they've been living in this agreement this strict entry fully it's home to many hours income people most from one family this is just a regular city quarter why does the populated built up area this is what used to be there had his house the three story buildings are reduced in ruins in just moments after being hit in a missile strike home on mohammed's brother who survived says they will never forgive or forget what nato has done to them destroying their lives and hems that they should take responsibility for their wrongdoing and nato has responded with an apology. intended target during last night's airstrike in tripoli was a military missile site. however from our initial assessment of the facts it

appears that one weapon did not strike the intended target due to a weapons systems failure although officials in tripoli claim more than eight hundred civilians have died in nato raids the nine people they say were killed in sunday's bombardment of the city have become the first civilian casualty is officially acknowledged by the alliance only on saturday nato has also admitted another mistake in a strike this time on rebel forces neither live in oil port of brag or with the number of casualties not been disclosed we who are nato you hold mr cameron mr sarkozy and mr berlusconi mr obama may already. have a good response support for the deaths of these innocent children innocent was done here as an innocent fathers and mothers you cannot justify this attack the enemy was up with that incident. sunday's fatal error occurs in the rising concerns

within nato about his operation in northern africa only eight out of its twenty eight members have joined the mission to protect civilians in libya which raises the question how many would support one to kill them ration option or r t tripoli. and with civilian casualties in libya mounting and no end in sight those paying for the intervention and my baby is stumping up more than they bargained for the u.k. has announced that its taxpayers might see one point six billion dollars of their hard earned cash diverted to fund being to rancher and his lawyer and that reporters there's little patience left among an already visitors and public. they're already calling it the billion pound war it's calculated that if the war in libya goes on for six months it will cost the british taxpayer one point six billion dollars but that initial humanitarian mission is now get rid of gadhafi

operation and that could take a lot longer assuming that their goal is to simply oust him from power this is not going to end until he. leaves office so this could potentially drag on for months more and as we've seen they've already extended the operation by another three months that's unlikely to be popular with the british public that government spending like a hawk already furious at seeing services and jobs slashed even so downing street swore it is open and it's taking the lead in libya data gathered by britain's guardian newspaper from defense ministries and news reports shows that britain has flown twenty five percent of all sources in libya second only to the u.s. by the second week of may six thousand strike missions had been ordered blogger daniel renwick says the u.k.'s likely to have weighed up the cost but with a warm wind blowing westwards from libyan rebels and use movements britain reckons

a billion pounds is a pretty good investment having control. or be made for the transitional council that seems to be some bombs cost up to one and a half million dollars each and with the u.k. cutting defense spending analysts say they may not be replaced and when you're dealing with such big numbers small things make a big difference to tight food costs maybe one thousand pounds per hour to fly small changes in the number of hours you estimate produce big changes a cost estimate for the upper end. was always expensive but the costs back home. could prove harder to afford next in line to strike a million public sector workers who are being asked to work more and get less disruption to services could run in two weeks the commitment to continue in libya

for however low suggests a blank check at a time when there is literally. the deployment of apache helicopters doesn't appear to have given the tactical advantage it hoped for and every time a plane takes to the sky or drops the bomb the cost for britain and its beleaguered european neighbors create higher and higher lower and it's arty. and does leave the remains locked and bloody and costly stalemate attention is focusing now on syria with washington trying to negotiate a un resolution on the situation in the country moscow however opposes any u.n. action fearing a repeat of the nie bill scenario where a resolution to protect civilians was used as a pretext to bomb the country and russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says everything must be done to prevent it. but she will know she will russia will do everything it can to prevent the libyan scenario happening in syria she want to get the international community we can urged the surge to put the reforms into practice

as soon as possible and to call on the opposition not to ignore suggestions to discuss these reforms which is start negotiating them. these comments came as syria's president assad addressed his nation and only his public appearance says unrest began in mid march on his promises for liberal reforms did not go into these health details with a cold for a national dialogue but he warned there would be no strange until violence stops what he once again blamed for foreign influence that address was lauded by the fresh protests where thousands again on the streets calling for assad to quit and some commentators say however the speech could not a turning point if the president for this were a response. coming up later in the program well he won't be the question being close he has again the president said that about whether he'll block her second tell. you also shattering stole some of the conflicts in syria and other masses in

a wide ranging interview with the financial times. the united nations nuclear watchdog is holding a conference in vienna to find ways to improve international safety standards the figures show a power plant disaster following the earthquake and tsunami in japan has intensified international concerns of atomic energy safety representatives from one hundred fifty member states of the international atomic energy agency taking part in the five day long conference the participants are discussing strengthening nuclear safety regulations and new responsibilities while things go wrong they form as a response to the crisis in japan which has admitted it wasn't prepared for an accident on such a scale and is far from sorting out the devastating consequences sean thomas reports from the says here fukushima and the deadly legacy of the disaster has left. the ominous and constant ticking of geiger counters and scientists working in

fukushima city concerned on the i'm in charge of the group of radiation detection and survey from fukushima university where now thinking their creation protocol and process set up by the japanese government is not enough and myself i think i should evacuate from this area but because of my job at the university i can't my family and my friends' families are evacuated. officially fukushima city is in a safe area eighty kilometers from the daiichi plant reactor one and a full sixty kilometers outside the band danger zone but still radiation levels here a much higher than normal. just to give you an idea of the consistency right now the dagger count is really pretty quite chilling nine of my girl records with about thirty times what is more than the accepted level but if you come down here to where i just saw it all a lot of it collected the regular quickly jumped up and it still climbing earlier we got a reading of night when i looked at my car and it's which is about a thousand times more than what is really accepted level of state regulation. but

in order to claim that fukushima is truly safe from leaking radiation the japanese government has had to be creative with the numbers of the government did they change the gravitational quantum level standard the levels from one. to twenty million. twenty times. the standards before the accident and now. they raise the. the standard so that they can say it's safe but actually the standard house changed the new higher levels mean that fukushima can be classed as being outside of the exclusion zone some say that evacuating the city would be simply impractical given the huge numbers of people affected to try and mitigate the circumstances to some degree a group of scientists have teamed up to find simple ways to reduce the radiation

levels. we're just trying to do a pilot project do d.d. contamination. by ourselves and we are not using a specially equipped man we just use normal child both. scoops. you just. have to. a small effort to bring some security to a community facing a scary and uncertain future in fukushima city sean thomas r t. well here won't he the question president. that if is being more and more about whether he will run for a second term and in an interview with london's financial times dmitri medvedev said he would not say so with prime minister vladimir putin as both of them represent the same political force oh he's cancer he has the details. well it's definitely the question that the russian president has been asked most frequently

in the recent months lots to do with it decided to keep the suspense up for a little longer but is it a new leader especially one who has the president's seat has to be willing to run for reelection however it's not a question whether he would make that decision for himself but i suggest waiting a bit longer and keeping the intrigue. of course the main intrigue of the twenty two of the presidential election still remains but with imitative did answer some questions in relations to who will run for office and one thing is certain both he and with him a person will not run for the same office it will just be one man or still remains to see cool well that man be. it's hard for me to imagine the mere putin and i both running for president of the same time for at least one reason we strictly speaking represent the same political force competition between us would bring harm to the golden tasks we've been working on for the past several years it wouldn't be good

for russia and it wouldn't be good in this particular situation it was a very long interview that the russian president gave to the financial times that of course many issues were raised throughout the course of it of course pertaining to russia's national and foreign policies many aspects that are interesting both to people living in russia and to those observing russia from abroad specifically of course questions relating to the goals that the russian president set out for himself during his term in office but it may say should that only option for snow interviews that is taken by western media source has gone by without the issue of that seat where she'll will join us being raised the russian president reiterated his position that that was his release that it happened will not in any way be a danger to society unlike any russian citizen who's currently serving time for that also. has the right to an appeal of course it wasn't just matters of domestic

policy that were touched upon the russian president speaking quite harshly about the nato military intervention in libya saying that some of russia's partners basically chose to misinterpret the resolution passed by the united nations security council resolution that russia led past hoping that it will be observed and kept to as it is worded but of course if you did just said that basically a very good resolution turned into a meaningless bit of paper with nato as a military intervention in libya and that precisely because of that no resolution will be passed on syria what do most of all the serious matters of course that were discussed we do know that the russian president is very fond of his gadgets he is rarely seen without his i pad and he did let slip that he has a special app on it that lets him monitor exactly what his employees are doing and which of his tasks have already been fulfilled is a very useful thing i personally plan to check out the app store to see whether

it's been specifically custom made for the president or whether it's available for the general public. in greece workers at a state owned electricity company have gone on a forty eight hours trying against austerity measures the action comes as a youth finance minister decided to withhold the release of the twelve billion euro learn to the country until so enduring new austerity plans are brought in by the decision reflects increasing concern that the greek parliament my took you know the unpopular set of measures the plan was to many of the state owned companies advertise and tax increased well continue continued fears of a greek default nervous british banks hold back the lives of the euro zone lending market which has started to hit you with me in equities and william and member of the european parliament or the u.k. independence party which ones britain out of the u. blames the greek situation on the euro which he says is a political project. as far as the eurozone is concerned and the countries in the

euro zone it was always it was always a project driven by politics and not by economics and the economic birds as it were coming home to roost what's basically happening is that the tax payers of northern europe particularly germany are going to have to pay up. to to stop greece should default. in the last finnish election of a particle the true finns for sure probably more were a bit lost for the most people. came came from nowhere to get twenty twenty percent of the vote and that was on the platform specifically on the platform of no finished contribution to bailouts for greeks obsession the near fanaticism of the european elite for the political project of united states of europe and a common currency has resulted in a terrible terrible human cost and the people and if the if there is

a greek default the people who would suffer would be the holders of greek sovereign debt. who basically by. the light is sort of the people who are suffering know who are who who are simply trying to two million private sector employees and who are actually bearing the brunt of these draconian austerity cuts. and let's let's remind you of our breaking story forty four people have died in a passenger plane crash in northwest russia and which i had others on board have survived latest reports say bad weather under they are equipped and at the airport which assists planes to land may have been factors in the accident on route for most of a talk by transit boats can because really a region the plane crash landed on a road of a kilometer short of its destination if he's a large space into on to court fallout will impact domestic airline companies line and reset the flight and bring you all that exists information as we get it. and up

next also takes a closer look at the nuclear crisis in japan i would talk to the country's number two atomic energy official. you are. we are here with he day he call me she who is with the ministry of a colony here in japan specifically with the agency that deals with nuclear safety and thank you very much for taking some time to be with us today now as this.

devastating event has happened in the news has spread out around the world it's become clear in the past three months that the information coming from the phone nuclear plant has gotten worse can you tell us what's the situation on the ground right now the situation is improving. for example we're steadily in introducing a water to their reactors because. you need one two and three and they're fairly stable code so that already asian exposure is becoming less and less a problem is best i've been on the water which originated from that waterway introduced into their reactors so we are now at the find there are testing process of introducing establishing water pretty fine a system people on the ground say that they have doubts about the information that is coming from the government why do you think they have these doubts and what is

the government doing to get this information out there. the japanese government tried to. and. distributed make. available all the information we've got from that call and from our monitoring systems so i think we hope that people can understand that state rights the situation right now we have to explain in the manner in which people can easily understand the situation that's our task there's a perception out there that the quality of information is coming from the government isn't what it needs to be what do you think this perception exists. it's very difficult to understand for ordinary people how. dangerous those numbers are we think that except for places very close to the nuclear power plants because she made eighty no big risk for the.

ordinary people so we should make them understand that point now we were in fukushima just a bit ago and there are some spots that we measured personally where the radiation levels are one thousand times the safely recommended dose there are mothers who are concerned that their children go by these hot spots where you have to say to these mothers our government especially mystery of. education is in charge of monitoring all of us out of japan and they they publish that they obtained throughout japan and they asked nuclear safety commission to evaluate their that so and you can see if the commission is publicizing their comments every day i think

the problem for matters. is that it's difficult to understand how safe or how dangerous those numbers are and. it is said that. radiation those is more dangerous for children and that's the point that we should . make people understand more currently the accepted level is twenty micro sieverts . which those standards were actually raised to twenty micro sieverts from one micro sievert do you think it's responsible to actually change the standards so that. they are now considered to be safe we do not say that. twenty meters see that it is safe but. it's. a pretty standard in this type of emergency situation scientists say there needs to be more cooperation with outside agencies and outside governments would you say to these

critics they don't know that fact and actually. from the time of their accident we have been consulted with the united states france and russia and other countries in terms of technical support. equipment and machine regular supports and we closely exchanged information regarding the status of plants and possible measures to take japan a country which has faced a two nuclear tragedies with your shimon nagasaki there are many critics out there who say that it's irresponsible for a country that has experienced such tragedy with the nuclear field to be building nuclear plants. in an area that may be unstable seismically known to have earthquakes what's your response to this so far. we have. forty years of

more than forty years of history of safe usage of. at to make energy and this was caused by the president. that it's an i mean very high it's an i mean nobody expected that the size of this and i'm so you can brain mouse that you failed but this was foreseen by anybody or of other wanted of course we are responsible for this accident that it should be closely reviewed whether we could have taken and any other measures to prevent this and as of right now can you imagine a future japan without nuclear energy moving away from atomic energy altogether and right now no we depend thirty percent of. if the resource. on you could energy so we have to use nuclear energy in the near future at least.

seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand dead at a beach front battle field several kilometers long. and now there is only one person who cares. if we are surrounded by garbage everywhere but also there are. on this beach which of course is very most appropriate signification a symbol of everything that's wrong with our goddamn government allowing not only garbage but to a chair we were where so many guys died. a new battle is going on. will the history be protected. returned to terra while julian cooper story on our t.v. .

this is on c coming to you live from moscow we triple the headline. for dying a survivor. and the airliner crash lands as it crash lands in northwest russia say bad weather and the failure of systems at the absolute are suspected of causing the tragedy. also nato admits it's a new mission as trying to get killed nine civilians into tripoli while british taxpayers where we overregulate spending turned into the build fields three months of bloody stalemate. gets a breeding again and members of the internationally prewashed all gathered to madrid where you don't vote in another condition the price is what people don't

feel safe even in the meters away from the explosion so. that next saleem to transport lies this time nerve gas stays talaga maad a russian expert at the french institute of foreign relations but tells us why he believes most was ready to pay a high price for friendship with. thank . you.

if people. hello again in the world complete spotlight the incidents on our t.v. i'll bring all of them today my guest on the program is told mom. french president nicolas sarkozy looked very content at the g eight summit and the deal russia announced it is ready to buy two helicopters carriers from from the longing to separated but contradictory deals backed by president the need for the admitted in the bargain will cost russia more than a billion euro but it is likely to improve moscow's relations with paris and probably would dress. would be the first step in rejecting general remaining distrust between russia and they said so mild the march out of the russia and i asked senate at the french institute of international relations is here to also.
