recordings are being just forensic analysis is being carried out we're looking into several versions of what calls 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 good to. forty four people lost their lives in this tragedy and their relatives and friends have begun gathering at the airport just behind me where the flight originated from there they've been receiving grief counseling from the emergencies ministry eight people though managed to survive this horrific plane crash they survived through the genuine heroism of people who arrived on the scene and pulled them out of the wreckage among those people who are who have been pulled out of that wreckage are nine year old boy his fourteen year old sister and their mother now six of those eight who were in with survived this plane crash currently on my way to moscow receive further treatment however two of those who were pulled from that wreckage

would seem to be in too much of a critical condition to travel there remaining in the northwest of russia where they come doctors are continuing to provide them with medical treatment now the company that operated this flight has suspended its services until the investigation has been complete no more of their planes will be taking off this is a budget airline that is charging around one hundred dollars for the flight to the patrols of course from moscow flying regularly almost every day from from the russian capital up to the northwest of the country their plates their planes will be grounded until this investigation is complete. right now peter oliver live from moscow thanks for that update. well let's cross live to chris yates he's an aviation expert and principal at yates consulting joining us from london by skype. mr yates from your point of view what do you think went wrong with this fight now

well i think quite evidently we're looking to possibilities that everybody's been talking about the moment we know that the weather was extremely bad as the aircraft was approaching to this particular course. you know we have to also factor in any errors made by the pilot the time of this incident it's always dangerous making a bomb or and being taking off from all who lot of things to do and it just takes one simple mistake. to what could be a routine landing into something that could potentially be so much worse. as little as we know tell us do you think there's anything that could have been done to prevent something like this. not really you know very much depends on won't the cockpit voice recorder tells those that do so the flight data recorder we know the

both of those devices have been. retrieved now that came back to moscow for analysis we have to wait and see what they say they tell us. you know this little sorts of factors here that come into the story one of those is whether they're getting the right sort of information from the ground controllers the airports in question with them getting the right sort of weather information as well about some of the key points. and also whether they would be monitored accurately by radio whether the control was with keeping a track on the aircraft heights and so on because of course around airports we know where they the various obstacles to having an impact on the safety of a mining or a takeoff provided the how to all of that information given to them then this should have been a routine landing. investigators are looking into pilot error as the likely cause

in general how do you judge the skills of russian pilots. it's very difficult to say whether it's pilot error or otherwise some sort of moments ago we have to wait until. it's very easy to blame. the pilots rather than the eye crofter or rather than some other issue of somewhere along the line. in the state. before you post and such like after an incident such as blaming the pilots whether or not that's sort of the case that it's the pilots so again let's wait and see if the those to by and we more information from the crash site itself. was like cool pieces of equipment the flight data recorder and the co paid for his recorder is one point i would make. is that when i'm back in two thousand and seven. the russian transport minister called for to you one thirty

four. one thirty four to be grounded completely because he felt the obsoletes all right aviation expert chris yates on the line with us from manchester thank you very much for your analysis welcome. well we can now cross live to our correspondent tusshar silly as she's been traveling all day to peppers of all skin has finally reached their end is that the site of the crash i understand. so from your point of view where you are what what's happening on the site if you are in fact there i think you are. yes we are that's right if you can see behind me there are emergency services there are. the firefighters are still here we saw parts of the plane still being lifted out of this place and if you can see the road behind you we're told that the plane had actually crashed perpendicular to this

road because it was on the way to the airport which is to my left if you can see so it it narrowly missed a few of the houses here that came dangerously close we can see houses right by the road and in fact according to initial investigations only a parked car was damaged on the road so that was quite a miracle right there but it did happen before midnight last night on monday and they're still right now are trying to assess the damage right here they picked up the black box on the first on the scene last night were witnesses those a living around here based on the initial findings they have to decode the black box initial findings was that the plane came descended way too quickly before it was supposed to do so now they still don't know exactly why it was about two hundred meters off course according to investigations and it had hit a high power voltage that had cut off the electricity on the runway and it took a few seconds before the backup generator was able to restore the lights and therefore it had caused difficulty for the pilot and also bad weather conditions

were blamed on the cost of the crash so because of that actually the locals here are telling us right now that they still do not have electricity there still some of them coming here checking out to find out exactly what happened what's still on the scene although some of the road a big part of the road is currently blocked so again first on the scene where witnesses were let's hear what they had experienced at the moment of the crash. three people. launch within the month. just see was dollar short and there was a man builds he was he was launching the nation which you know we carry down to most people from the right you know the middle of the roads are you know the man reached. me but i couldn't make it to an actual very thing so it's actually very very you know getting really sort of everything which i go by my story.

well there you have it they were here trying to save as many people as they can now it has to be said that this particular a tuple level one three four model does have quite a bad track record this is actually the twenty eighth crash recorded this plane has been in service for about thirteen years now although it has because of that track record there's a quite a negative blame put it be put on the actual model itself but according to some of the experts a lot of the accidents that have happened in the past were due to a combination of factors of course a most common is human error and last night a bad weather conditions compounded that situation let's hear what some of the analysts the experts say on this. new car the numbers of which i don't think anything would go wrong with the plane itself in forty years of operation that you pull of one three four has proved to be extremely reliable problems are going to work in previous catastrophes to human error was always to blame the same is true here the pilot should have made a second ending approach is exactly what happened to the polish presidential

airplane board. so i know you just arrived. but have you heard anything on or been able to see anything or the relatives of those involved in this tragedy. well the relatives of those on the plane. heard a lot of them are going to be flying from moscow arriving here tomorrow now there have been compensation of the airliner that had carried that was operating the plane that had crashed said that they would compensate the families of those that had died as well as those that had survived eight survivors currently in hospital still being treated for burns or shock and multiple injuries now they said that they will be paying two million rubles that's about seventy one thousand dollars also about five hundred thousand rubles to the survivors and also here in the republic of korea. have declared a day of mourning actually three days of mourning from today up to the twenty six

all flags will be flying at half mast and again they are still working moscow officials are going to be working with local officials here to give as much support as they can to the survivors especially as well as the a grieving family members so they will be arriving tomorrow here at the republic of korea right are to live in pepper's of force at the site of that plane crash thanks for that. we of course will be covering this plane crash and bring you more on this developing story throughout the day here on r t it's coming up to fourteen minutes past the hour more stories coming your way including the price of health care. new single family can deal with this disease and it's become so simple. but only a few lucky patients destined to win the lottery are why we report on the struggle for a multimillion dollar treatment. but first just

a day after admitted killing nine civilians in a bungled airstrike nato has been accused by the libyan authorities of causing a further nineteen the alliance confirmed it had carried out another bombing but has not responded to the allegations of more civilian casualties are reports from tripoli. and the 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. most of their money was going to make. the house destroyed belong to general who. are one of the people closest to colonel gadhafi he was among those who took part in the military coup to bring the even leader to power forty years ago the general escaped injury but most of his family

died in the attack you see. this man is talking about. 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 when attacked in the airlie hours of this morning killing fifteen people including three were children are. there is still the mother's. own cause it's. the number is fifteen people nato has denied these claims just as it's never demanded the death of more than eight hundred others believe in government says were killed by they had 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 to a weapons technical failure a former pentagon official says the only thing clear about the nato campaign is the mounting casualty toll and damage 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 about to the voices of the libyan people was and it seems that the more anger they feel about nato the more they support. the belief was that that's what this is because seventy wasn't wasn't this is that such. was challenging but this is

a much it's. best to have been helping instead of the united states this was a gun that was kept out of to. keep was i to iraq. thank you. we will you want to deliver our message tonight to a leader step the bomb being i talking maybe what certain is the more indeed dying. rifle shot ought to treat billy. the greek prime minister a proponent of tough austerity measures and facing a no confidence vote in parliament if he loses athens could be denied a new loan from the e.u. and respond rolling into deeper crisis with a possible default e.u. finance ministers have given greece a fresh ultimatum they are giving evidence to weeks to for sure tax hikes and spending cause in return for twelve billion euro lifeline to keep its economy

afloat the conditions are highly unpopular among the greek public i mean p. william dartmouth who's u.k. independence party wants britain out of the e.u. says the plight of working greeks is secondary concern to the e.u. . they've got freezing feet about but about the whole deal i mean greece is really not a very large economy and what he told was in the present but seventy billion with probably more to come in twelve months time and i mean where's it all going to when what's basically happening is that the tax payers of northern europe particularly germany are going to have to pay up to stop greece should default touch president all new york don't particularly like obsession the near fanaticism of the european elite for the political project of the united states of you're on 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 who are principally private the two million private sector employees in greece who are actually bearing the brunt of these draconian austerity cuts. party financial guru max kaiser says greeks are being forced into paying off a debt they're not responsible for you can catch up with more of his thoughts and the scandals behind the economic struggles in greece later on r.t. . language is being abused or they're saying or talking about the people and their bet it's not the people's that those people don't have the debt the bankers gave them their debt o.-p. dig they're suffering from other people's debts it's not their debt that's why they're having a revolution. medical

treatment as a lottery where lost and half the patients live to see the cure that's the nightmare scenario facing parents of children with deadly hunter syndrome in russia where extortionate cost and lack of state support are snuffing out young lives on a boycott reports the first match followed in february this year fourteen according to his birth certificate he looked half 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. 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 but they just five he knew the point his mother is reading to him now by a hard on he was active in affectionate like 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 he's body con gets rid of toxins it's extremely rare and extremely expensive to treat missing without treatment doctors say he may soon die if we get the drug his body will be slowly clean stop the talks and he may be able to walk again and play and enjoy life like other kids sierra leone cost he 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 it was about to see the local authorities when in april they finally agreed to provide the money for the drug he begged 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 voters 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 it's not the worst thing for her is to leave the rest of her life knowing that her child could have been saved but the treatment was there and these exorbitant money was found. wrecked tape or administrative procedures whatever you call it. was never given a chance. they would just 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 his treatment would have accounted for about a quarter of all how subsidies. are the treatment of this boy in monetary terms is

equivalent to almost 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 budget restructuring and to hold attended by and 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 fellow into the air with even money may say even though the little boy is just very kilometers to the south at least seventy year old peter who was also diagnosed with contra syndrome he still has a few years before the damage becomes a record his parents believe to save their son this state has to step in silicon valley you know. no single family can deal with disease on its own the cost of the drug is simply unreal the local authorities often refuse to cover. this one thing to stay. out of about two hundred fifty children with hunter syndrome and russia doesn't have a receiving medical treatment it's

a postcode lottery available in richer areas like mosco and almost unimaginable in poorer towns and that despite the fact that when it comes to this citizenship all supposed to be playing on the same team in a work of art scene you aren't going to. break your own are to travel update you on the business top stories in just a moment. hello and welcome to business 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

but there would be continued growth even on elsewhere so be resolved with the negative us it was that but we still have. i don't think we're going to lose sixty percent of the body but imo ten percent or even twenty percent is likely if there is a major default. russia still has hopes to steal a disputed gas deal with china by the end of the year by the chinese insist they are not prepared to pay european rights deputy chairman of gazprom as management committee says any price agreed with china has to reflect the profitability of western sales. each price has to be equal to the profitability of exports. we can't sell cheap from a more expensive. range of market mechanisms to determine the price let's not forget that the russian market needs to be subject to profitability for.

next we'll look at the state of the salt israeli palestinian peace process in our special interview. with me i have to face a governor of 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 recall what they said is the united states has their own considerations in the way 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 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 win you know every politician is interested in continuing the 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 is first of all concerned with the wind being and we're doing of his own people but he's also interested in continuing the missions in the vision and the it took upon himself when he took over what is your reading of the relationship between obama and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu there were many who said.
