it was hard to see was dark and there was a man he also was unhappy he was launched on me now and we carried out two more people from the wreckage in the middle of the road another man reached out his hand towards me but i couldn't make it to him everything started exploding i could not get any closer everything was engulfed by fire so every. other flight recorders have been removed from the scene of the crash in a process of trying to work out exactly what caused this fatal crash is underway but what we do know is that the plane clipped tree tops as well as severing power lines on its way down those severed power lines triggered a blackout on the runway for several seconds before the emergency power kicked in and we don't know whether those seconds that the lights were out and the runway was in a blackout whether those were the crucial seconds that meant that the pilots had to make a decision to force a emergency landing now the emergencies ministry here in russia continuing to carry out this investigation to try and find out what happened and they are ruling out

any possibilities right now. the british investigators continue their work at the site of the tragedy the debris there is spread across a three hundred meter radius the flight recorder has already been found communication recordings are being analyzed forensic analysis is being carried out we're looking into several versions of what caused the tragedy these include the human factor such as an air of the crew or the ground services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes in the. peter what are we hearing from experts about these various different theories. well this is important to realize this investigation is in its infancy we can only go on the facts that we have we have the footage that we've seen of it of the plane clipping treetops we know it took down power lines and we know it was forced to make a crash landing but the experts who looked into these type of crashes before their

initial opinion is that this was caused by pilot error they've actually gone as far as to draw comparisons between this crash and the crash last year which killed polish president lech kaczynski so they are of their opinion off what they've seen so far as this quote could have been caused by an error in the cockpit. you crack at them with which i don't think anything would go wrong with the plane it's in forty years of operation the three four has to do extremely reliable aircraft in previous catastrophes human error was always to blame and the same is true here the pilot should have made a second landing approach this is exactly what happened to the polish presidential airplane board so. we know that eight people have survived this crash what are we hearing about their condition. are they currently receiving medical treatment but there was a board six of them have been told that they can be flown back here to moscow to

continue that medical treatment however some of these people are in a very critical condition and that's what we're hearing from doctors that say this plane crash landed on a highway broke into pieces before catching on fire they're being treated for injuries caused by the us impact and also for burns from the from the fire that broke out now among those that survived are a nine year old boy his fourteen year old sister and their mother now they are the lucky ones who we spoke before about the heroism of those people in order to pull them from the wreckage unfortunately forty four people killed in this crash the. relatives of those who lost their lives have started gathering here at the out of airports in moscow they've been receiving grief counseling from the emergencies ministry and we're hearing that there will be flow into but there was a void maybe to morrow to the site where the crush took place. right now peter all of our live from moscow do stay with our to as we continue our coverage

of this plane crash that occurred in northwest russia throughout the day. to libya now where another deadly nato bombing in tripoli has reportedly killed at least fifteen civilians nato insist it hit a command center but libyan officials say three children are among the dead comes just a day after the alliance admitted killing up to nine civilians in another air strike which is blamed on a technical failure or days where if the notion of reports from tripoli. and other day has brought more death and destruction to leave a large private compound west of the capital tripoli has been leveled reduced to rubble in apparent as strike. rescues have discovered the remains of fifteen people according to libyan officials. the houses destroyed belonged to general moody one of the people closest to colonel

gadhafi he was among those who took part in the military coup to bring the libyan leader to power forty years ago the general escaped injury but most of his family died in the attack. because. this man is talking about lethal on one of the grandchildren of the general and one of three kids killed in the incident the day of the bombing the family had gathered with friends to celebrate his fourth birthday. libyan civilians from it is where attacked in the airlie hours of this morning killing fifteen people including her children are out. there is the mother's murder the girl. it's. the number is fifteen people nato has denied these claims just as it's never

debated the death of more than eight hundred others believe in a government says were killed by their bombs the nine people killed in sunday's bombing of a residential building in tripoli remain the only civilian casualties i can buy the alliance which blamed a mistake technical failure a former pentagon official says the only thing clear of all the nato campaign is the mountain casualty toll and it's inflicting on the even people they try to achieve a certain level of humanitarian effort and initially but the protracted bombing is now increasingly hitting civilian targets and it's creating a very negative reaction i think it does raise the question of what is nato's role continued role going to be there as discontented actions and crazes other voices become more and more than to the voices of the libyan people. and it seems that the more anger they feel about nato the more they supported.

this is seventy was. this is that was a. challenge. to the. united states is that this was. that. you want to deliver our message to. what's certain is that. dying. r.t. tripoli. the greek prime minister is facing a crystal confidence vote in parliament will determine whether he'll be able to secure another injection of cash from the e.u. and save the country from plunging into deeper crisis on monday e.u.

ministers piled further pressure on greece they gave athens two weeks to pass fresh project cuts and tax increases conditions that must be met to secure a previously agreed installment of twelve billion euro william dartmouth whose u.k. independence party wants britain out of the e.u. says the uncertainty over the next payment for greece is understandable. they've got crews and feet about but about the whole deal i mean greece is really not a very large economy and what are you talking about in the present seventy billion with probably more to come in twelve months time and i mean where's it all going to work and what's basically happening is that the tax payers of northern europe particularly germany are going to have to pay up to stop greece defaulting taxpayers of northern europe don't particularly like obsession the near fanaticism of the european elite for the political project of the united states of europe and

a common currency has resulted in a terrible terrible human cost if there is a greek default the people who would suffer would be the holders of greek sovereign debt who are basically buying institutions and the like is sort of the people who are suffering no. who who are simply probably the two million private sector employees in greece who are actually bearing the brunt of these draconian austerity cuts. britain will not take part in the new greek well out that's the u.k. prime minister's promise to taxpayers he said he saw no reason why britain should be involved in the burdens facing eurozone countries but john gaunt of the e.u. referendum campaign says britain is still handing out cash the. at the i.m.f. . george osborne and david cameron our prime minister is saying they will not put any british cash into the buyout but they're kind of playing with words really because we've just increased the amount of money would pay to the i.m.f. from ten billion to nineteen billion and if greece defaults and let's face it they

are going to focus not only on the first bailout but on the second bailout if indeed it does go through in a couple of months when they do default on now will be liable to pick up some of the bill so british taxpayers repaying for i personally agree with the mayor of london boris johnson some people say he'll be the next prime minister after cameron i say let's greece go through the wall no more bailouts greece must be allowed to leave the eurozone let them have the drachma then they can devalue then they can set their wages where they want to set them then they can begin to rebuild from there if we don't do it now as jack straw our former foreign minister and home secretary said in the house of commons it's just a slow agonizing death of the euro. and our financial guru max kaiser has his say about the financial woes and overwhelming debt dependence you can catch up with his unique analysis in just over an hour's time. a generation ago or two

generations ago the word work imply accumulating savings but now the word work means accumulating debt so what they're saying is you young people out there who are entering the workforce if you work really hard you will accumulate massive debt. it's coming up to quarter past the hour let's check on some other international headlines more flights have been cancelled in australia due to the ass cloud brewing from a trillion dollar kaino it comes a week after the air traffic in the region came to a shattering halt with hundreds of flights ended in australia as well as new zealand last friday saw the airspace clear but the clouds circled the globe and is now causing further disturbance to the earlier announced that volcano was becoming less active. twin suicide car blast outside the iraqi

a rare and disabling disease is every parent's worst nightmare knowing about treatment exists in relief but in russia many hopes are dashed by extortionate costs and a lack of state support on a boy to report on how a price really can be put on a child's life. the first match followed in february this year fourteen according to his birth certificate he looked have that he's hearing was rapidly declining his vision almost gone he responded only to the strokes of his mother who gave up everything secure for him and me out of this i'm happy just to wake up and see him breathing sometimes he smiles and it's the greatest thing for me. he wasn't always this way they just five he knew the point his mother is reading to him now by heart it was actually even affectionate he liked cats and talked about

being a driver then step by step his house began to deteriorate his mother rushed from one doctor to another until last year he was finally diagnosed with hunter syndrome a genetic condition that means his body can't get rid of toxins it's extremely rare and extremely expensive to treat. without treatment doctors say he may soon die if we get the drug his body will be slowly clean stop the talks and she may be able to walk again and play and enjoy life like other kids the annual cost for voloder was almost eight hundred thousand dollars beyond comprehension for you lana whose husband left the family with the first signs of the disease she petitioned all sorts of organizations and was about to sue the local authorities when in april they finally agreed to provide the money for the drug back then this piece of paper seemed to follow this license to life. when i got this letter i was so hopeful

it meant that my child would live there waited weeks then months in early june voted health took a turn for the worst and he died never having seen the promised drug. most people agree that losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to a parent but he did assess it's not the worst thing for her is to leave the rest of her life knowing that her child could have been saved that the treatment was there and these exorbitant money was found. wrecked tape or administrative procedures whatever you call it. the idea was never given a chance local authorities say there was absolutely no way to speed things up their own region where you live and leave is an impoverished mostly agricultural province in central russia but what is treatment would have accounted for about a quarter of all how subsidies but here in cola get your skills course for the

treatment of this boy in monetary terms is equivalent to almost all cancer surgeries in our region and we're talking about thousands of people yet we still made a decision to allocate this money but before this we need to conduct some budget restructuring and to hold attended by it now these procedures are almost complete and we expect the drug to be here by the end of june well it's already too late to help followed the allocated money may save another little boy just period kilometers to the south least seventy year old peter who was also diagnosed with contra syndrome yet he still has a few years before the damage becomes a rapper both his parents believe to save their son this state has to step in. no single family can deal with this disease on its own the cost of the drug is simply unreal the local authorities often refuse to cover the costs of this one think the state has to house them out of about two hundred fifty children of

a hunter syndrome in russia less than half are receiving medical treatment it's a postcard lottery available in reach or areas like most go and almost unimaginable in poorer towns and that despite the fact that when it comes to this citizenship all supposed to be playing on this. artsy. the u.s. has stepped up its drone attacks in pakistan the most recently reported recent reportedly killed at least twelve people over a growing number of civilian deaths in the strikes that sparked public anger with concerns the action is driving up the number of extremist recruits and now with reports that the u.s. plans to expand of war to yemeni territory criticism against the strategy is stronger than ever are going to camp has the story. the u.s. is looking to expand its war on terror but its methods are under fire. in pakistan cia drone strikes aim at terrorists but end up killing mostly civilians public

outrage is growing hatred and anger foster more terror but if you push them of their world then militancy and goes in is going to increase this is no more dissolution because if you're attacking them by drones and they're not part of the war there are good ones on the other side who which party they're going to join in pakistan in the one year the u.s. strikes killed seven hundred civilians but net it only five actual militant leaders many pakistanis are furious that their government for helping the americans kill their own people they accuse their leaders of doing that in exchange for billions of dollars from washington americans on the other hand are not too happy with what they get in return for their billions to support governments allied to us when we say enough is enough most governments lie to each other that's the way business gets done and meet all the cheerleading about bin laden's killing the us has

stepped up drone strikes in pakistan. and pakistan in a number of civilian casualties that result because of the drone strikes. in this like the taleban. in other groups in pakistan pure recruit new numbers and they're doing that. accelerating pace washington now sees yemen as the most dangerous al qaida outpost and he's planning to step up drone attacks on the country and stablish ing of basing the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when bin ladin swer placement iman also ari is not to be building up as already significant presence in yemen. the u.s. had been cooperated with yemeni counterterrorism forces in targeting al qaida but they've since left. field preoccupied instead was in nationwide turmoil against the sollie regime that means the americans are likely to have a freer hand going it alone with the cia to take

a central role because the agency is not subject to the accountability the us military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the us starts to hit people who are members of all id new arabian peninsula and then i think the real worry is that it expands this war to the point where so many people join up with al-qaeda there's fury in yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in want to tack there the american military presumably ming at an al qaida training camp ended up killing dozens of women and children in another strike a year ago a drone mistakenly killed a deputy governor in yemen his family and eight with the expansion of the drone war it seems that once the seeking only in itself the fighting on the lighter can only say some of the main features of this is all the praise mark not having to put on the boards in the face and that their mommy and the lack of accountability when it comes to feel that. that adds more parrot on the west side of me where the america

is fighting and offering terror at the same time i am going to check out reporting . that wraps up the main news block here in our to business is next with its me today after a short break. well in a warm welcome to the program the oil price is rebounding slightly after losing six percent last week however worries about a possible default by greece are still weighing on crude the country's parliament is due to hold a confidence vote later tuesday. from our plants energy agency explains why the small country is having such

a big effect on the. greece is one of those countries that is really at the forefront of budget deficits and all the issues facing many other countries in europe and even the u.s. so it is a very good case study if greece portugal officially bankrupt and unable to create spot so if that were to happen he would send a chill all across europe. from countries he's no longer cross what that happens then there would be a chill in demand because a lot of the consumption in europe is finance. so you have the markets now we start with crude as we've been talking about the light sweet crude is up almost one dollar there brenda's up fifty three cents this is of course a rebound of the six percent drop the previous week. with the stock markets

european markets trading on tuesday on a positive note of what zero point six percent pretty much the same amount leading the gains is no good so more than two percent of the company ruled this new smartphone that is expected to launch the first windows devices like to. russia trade is also in the positive territory so far so good r.t.s. a point eight so my six point seven percent this is on the back of the in crude prices so well and gas and financial stocks are in the lead so you've got some of the main movers on the my sex gas from their point nine percent even though some of the other end you shares like down point two percent growth telecom is down two point seven percent after losing eight percent this session before that's old news the company will be included in the state privatization. where bank will finalize a decision on acquiring a controlling stake in austria's of books bank international in around two weeks' time the seven hundred million euro deal will help russia's biggest lender to

establish itself on the european market so the bank c.e.o. graph outlines the company's ideas for international expansion. we're interested in emerging markets for example in europe we're interested in turkey and poland and we will look at assets in these countries according to our preliminary plan by twenty fourteen we should gain five percent a net profit on the international markets however i don't think we'll be able to cope with that as we changed our priorities to date we aim for a better competitive level in our country most likely we will be able to increase our expansion strategy after twenty fourteen to twenty fifteen but today our domestic market is our main priority. russian technologies is getting down and the state corporation is creating a new waste disposal company it will own as much as twenty five percent the rest will be controlled by domestic private investors still unclear how the company will be financed there but the russian technology say that rely on the cash from state

budgets for the country's ruling party supporting the project the garbage operator is expected to dominate the russian markets in two to three. so from the business desk for now we will be back next hour with more.

determine whether he'll be able to push through a new austerity package to secure another much needed injection of cash from the u. . next we look at the state of the salt israeli palestinian peace process in our special interview. with me i have to face the governor she lives the former israeli ambassador to the united nations professor thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. thank you for you were recently quoted as saying that the united states will not veto the u.n. recognition of a palestinian state come september why are you so sure of this i did not say that the united states is not going to veto what they said is the united states has their own considerations in the we should not act as if the victoria is in our pocket which it is it is not we must do our best to avoid the with the motion to

come. to the the security council nor to the. general assembly in the i think we should not trust the united states to veto but we should press ourselves if obama was not to veto the declaration of a palestinian state would he not face political pressure at home i mean after all there is an election that he wants to when you know every politician is interested in continuing to give way but i i think obama really wants peace in the world especially in this region which affects the way in the middle east in the whole of the whole world in a way so i believe that obama's first of a concern with the wind being and will doing of his own people but he's also interested in continuing the missions in the vision but it took upon himself.
