thank you three people in the wreckage the other man reached i'll just mention only this means you're going to make it to rethink so she was the lead singer for you don't you do something for me because of those funny little tragedy in northwest roswell as a passenger plane crashes onto a highway killing forty four people early reports of just pilot error and bad battery on display. at least fifteen more civilians killed as nato bombers miss a top gadhafi aide but instead of instead hit the birthday party of a four year old grandson. and so down in the greek parliament the pm saturn's new
9:01 am
austerity concentrates no confidence vote with athens on the brink of becoming the first euro zone nation to. close in business will euro survive or is it undergoing a slow day long that story in twenty minutes telling. it's five pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live on an isa now a with our top story but this will say bad weather and pilot error or other likely causes of a plane crash which killed forty four and left eight injured in northwest russia on sunday night the reuss air flight en route from moscow to pictures of warsaw crashed onto the road just one kilometer from its destination archies tests are still is there in peppers are false and now joins us live from the crash site so what is happening at the scene and. do we know for some war how this all happened.
9:02 am
all right here at the scene you can still see behind me the emergency services so they are still picking up parts of the plane that we saw earlier well from what we know the early reports that we know the a plane was flying from moscow to that is of course here in the northwest of the country and if you can see behind me there's a road it had a lot of perpendicular to the road it was on its way so it's the airport which is to my left it's about two kilometers to the left very close and right behind right beside this road rather are homes residential homes which luckily were not hit now . in terms of survivors as you mentioned earlier there were forty four that were killed and eight of them survived the recent reports we have five of those survivors already in moscow to be treated for their injuries but three of them are still in very critical condition and will be staying here at local hospitals for the time being now there were also for foreigners on board there was once we did as well as to ukraine as a family of four with a dual citizenship u.s.
9:03 am
russian citizenship now are the first on the scene right now it's very busy but the first on the scene because it happened just before midnight local time just before eight g.m.t. the first on the scene were witnesses and they did try those who could try to save as many people as they can. enter in three people. will they could not sell which was launched and then the man who was on just he was dog food and there was a man and also was the it was an option for me to carry down to most people from the ranch in the middle of the room which are not the man reached home to scientology to me in our community to know from everything so since actually losing . everything was on my front door. as to what exactly happened and it's still very early thought this statement had been made by officials of the airport here. of aviation authorities it was said
9:04 am
that the a plane was flying off course by about two hundred meters and have descended way earlier than it should have and according to the statements made by the ground control here in practice of what they said that they had asked to be a pilot to make a second approach because of low visibility and the bad weather conditions the pilot according to them had said that he will try to make this first approach and he said he could do it but of course the flight recorder to fly past a recorder that is has already been a found and will be examined and this will reveal the actual communication in the last seconds before the crash. investigators continue their work the science of the tragedy to breathe air is spread across a three hundred meter radius the flight recorder has already been found the recordings are being analyzed forensic analysis is being carried out looking into several versions of what cools the tragedy these include the human factor such as
9:05 am
an air of the crew or ground services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes. has to be said to be a plane was said to have hit a high voltage a power line and it had actually cut electricity for the neighborhood here and the people still don't have electricity now ask for the actual plane itself it does have quite a bad reputation be a tuple level one three four in fact are russia and the transport minister had said in two thousand and seven and this is actually an obsolete plane and should be replaced within five years however there are those who would argue that in most of the plane crashes that happened in the past for this particular model there had been twenty eight crashes and this one included most of the time the reason behind the crash compounded of course by several factors but usually it's human error that causes such crashes. which i don't think anything would go wrong with the. it's no forty years of operation that you put on three floors to do
9:06 am
extremely reliable national problems are going to work in previous times to preserve human error and was always to blame the same is true here the pilot should have made a second learning approach a little so this is exactly what happens with the polish presidential announcement board for us are we hearing anything from the relatives of those involved in this crash. well we're hearing that some of them may have made their way to the site today and some of them will be flying and tomorrow so the survivors of families of their of the five that are already in moscow and three here at least those who are still here we expect the relatives to come and see them here as well as the relatives of those that have been killed forty four that were killed in the crash now in terms of a conversation where they had if you have insurance rather from the right wrist area which is the airliner that had carried them back to their pledges of lords and
9:07 am
they will receive about two million rubles that's about seventy one thousand dollars that's insurance for those who were killed now authorities both in moscow as well as local authorities said that they will also provide financial aid to those who have survived and here right now actually they had a declared three days of mourning and we do see some people still coming here with some flowers bringing them to the site and we of course will be joining you throughout the day for now artie's tests are certainly a live at the crash site in path of course thanks for that. well chris gates who is an aviation expert and principal at yates consulting says it's too early to know for sure the exact reason for the crash. but you know there's all sorts of factors here that come into this in this story one of those is whether they were getting the right sort of information from the ground controllers that we have in question getting the right sort of weather information from going over some of the key
9:08 am
points. and also whether they would be modified i think it was a radio with the control it would be the truck on the aircraft targets so on because of course around airports we know where the various obstacles are through to have an impact on the safety of abounding or takeoff so provided the how to all of that information in. there should be a routine landing here with r t live from moscow more stories coming your way this hour including the price of health care. nursing. facilities and the cost of the drugs simply unreal but only a few lucky patients destined to win the lottery of life we report on the struggle for a multimillion dollar treatment. but first just a day after admitting killing nine civilians in a bungalow airstrike nato has been accused by the libyan authorities of causing at least another fifteen deaths the alliance confirms it had carried out another

bombing but has not responded to allegations of civilian casualties are. reports from tripoli. another day has brought more death and destruction to leave a large private compound the rest of the capital tripoli has been leveled reduced to rubble in apparent as strike. rescuers have discovered the remains of fifteen people according to libyan officials. he has destroyed belong to general who the other movie 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. because. this man is talking about.

one of the grandchildren of the general and one of three kids killed in the incident. today or that the family had gathered with friends to celebrate his fourth birthday. libyan civilians found it is quite a fact in the airlie hours of this morning killing fifteen people including three were children. there is still the gun mothers. and. the number is fifteen people nato has denied these claims just as it's never admitted the death of more than eight hundred others believe in government says were killed by their bombs and nine people killed in sunday's bombing of a residential building in tripoli i mean the all the city and casualties i can all this by the alliance which claimed a mistake. of paying their former pentagon official says the only thing clear about the nato campaign is the mounting casualties and damage it is placing on the even
9:11 am
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 his actions and traces are the voices become more and more about to the voices of the libyan people i was and it seems that the more anger they feel about nato the more they supposed to. believe that it's about this is the second series was meant as it was saying was a. challenge it was a chance. to test adults telling us that they can stay in the united states this was fun
9:12 am
that was cut i can't. sleep was i the end. we will not you want to deliver our message to another good leader stepped up bomb being. attacking libya what certain is that morandi dying. or a functional r.t. tripoli. and it's not just in libya where a foreign intervention is claiming a growing number of civilian lives as we reveal later in the program he lacks is coming under criticism for its use of drone strikes in pakistan and yemen critics warning that instead of fighting terror it could be fueling it. the greek government which is trying to push through harsh austerity measures is facing a no confidence vote in parliament but survival is a crucial first step in securing a new loan from the e.u.

designed to prevent consulting on its debts and triggering a eurozone crisis you finance ministers have given greece choose weeks to force through tax hikes and spending you can't return billion euro nice sign that conditions are highly unpopular among the greek public and william dartmouth who's u.k. independence party wants britain out of the european union says the plight of working greeks is not the easiest tops concern we know. they've got friesian feet about but about the whole deal i mean greece is really not a very large economy and not originally was in the present but at seventy billion with probably more to come in twelve months try 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 out to stop greece should default and tax present all new york don't particularly like obsession in the near fanaticism of the european elite for the political project of united states of yours and

the money for the drug that then this piece of paper seemed politest license to life. when i got this letter i was so hopeful it meant that my child would live. they waited weeks and months in early june well this 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 must ask 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 the money was found. tape or administrative procedures whatever you call it. was never given a chance. to say there was absolutely no way to speed things up their own region where you live and leave him in poverty mostly agricultural province in central
9:18 am
russia but his treatment would have accounted for about a quarter of all how french cities. are the treatment of the treats 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 attendance 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 how fellow into the air with even money next week and really just very kilometers to the south at least seventy year old was also diagnosed conscious syndrome. here is really down to the kinds of record his current beliefs just saved our son. have to step in to the. family can deal with. the local authorities often refuse to come

is continuing to step up its presence in other muslim countries the latest drone attacks in pakistan have reportedly killed twelve people only nine of them confirmed taliban fighters the growing number of civilian deaths means more angry locals are joining the militants and the u.s. now turning its attention to yemen looks set to become even harder. the u.s. is looking to expand its war on terror but its methods are under fire in pakistan in the one year that cia drone strikes killed seven hundred civilians but netted only five actual militant leaders. and pakistan in the number of casualties that result because of drone strikes. like the taleban . and other groups in pakistan to recruit new members and they're doing that. so 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
9:22 am
of dollars from washington americans on the other hand are not too happy with what they get in return for their billions on to support. governments or large ones when do say enough is enough most governments lie each other that's the way business gets done flushing to now sees yemen as the most dangerous all kind of outpost and he's planning to step up drone attacks on the country as stablish ing a base in the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when the nonce replacement i am and also worry is not to be building our will quite as already significant presence in yemen. the us had been cooperated with yemeni counterterrorism forces in targeting al qaida but they've since left the field preoccupied instead with the 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 u.s.
9:23 am
military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the u.s. starts to hit people who are numbers alongside in the arabian peninsula then i think the real worry is that it expands peace corps to the point where so many people join up with al qaeda their security in yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in one attack near the american military presumably ending 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 he stammered and eight with the expansion of the drone war it seems to go on to seeking only a minute down to the fighting on the miter and only say some of them maybe nature is a visible on the face mark not having making people accountable for them to meet and that their money and the lack of accountability money on the city and that leaders that get more carried on living what's right in reality what america is fighting
9:24 am
and bomb free care at the same time i am going to check out with morning. our. time from business here in our secret arena is here next. i don't welcome these business bulletin the euro is facing a slow death that said by former british foreign secretary jack straw rackstraw or rather he's among a growing number of pessimists i think the writing is on the wall for the single currency on the other hand optimists allaying hopes on today's conference both in greece they're bracing the prime minister will survive and the country will get it right out from the e.u. i'm joined now by ken rex that from saxo bank i don't know what's your take on this do you think the euro will survive look yes it will i mean the bottom line is that the euro's not going anywhere and as much as i'd like to see the return of the deutsche mark french frank and a lot we're going to be saying that i mean this is
9:25 am
a political experiment that's simply too big to file and neither the c b nor the eurozone in general has prepared some of these fights but obviously there are fears in the south and what clues might they be looking for that this whole thing might on rattle. look i think all the clues out there if this was ever going to unravel the clues have already been set out on the table fairly clearly we've had eighteen months of contagion fears default risks. problems in spain greece italy portugal in the long haul and obviously so all the clues in the writing so to speak is on the wall fundamentally the situation has not changed in that there has been no concrete action or movement towards the spending of the euro or the eurozone so even if greece does get this next tranche of the bailout the problem is still there i mean ultimately how can the country recover from here. honestly
9:26 am
it's hard for me to sign i personally i don't see a recovery to the point where every every criteria of the strict policy and the eurozone and general parameters will be satisfied so it's a function of i think bending the rules even more than they already have and probably having another look at what success or surviving what criteria you measure those bar and therefore have another look at greece in about six to twelve months time and what is the reasoning for russia i mean how badly impact they. look i think the impact as as much as it's already being felt is probably already been priced in for the most part the thing with russia to remember is that no matter what really happens internally still regarded for the most part as an emerging market economy and as such as much as i don't want to use the phrase there is very much a risk on risk off the mantra operating within the law to financial markets now as with any other emerging market economy when is
9:27 am
a general response. economies and countries such as russia are in favor and that means increased foreign direct investment or flow of hot money and as soon as the mood overall turns in a knock and there's a risk off sentiment or risk aversion then just as quickly as the money came into russia it flows just as quickly out the the only thing obviously to the mind differentiate here is that obviously being rich of natural resources of oil being predominantly amongst those russia has a slightly different different nature of. the can play out on its economy so while the central bank maintains its policy of raising rights to battle inflation and oil stays relatively high in some of its products russia probably shouldn't feel any more effects over and above what it's already saying now here i want to share a drop in the value of that i thought bob really. and i mean it was you know
9:28 am
all of it so i think economists and politicians to pontificate and theorize where you are against say the dollar should be tried ng and what reasons for it to be higher or lower but if we take a purely and i'm a try to sell to you from a trite his point of view if you would say to take into account genuine fundamentals and relative value then to be perfectly honest euro dollar should probably be try to get parity if not slightly above because neither america nor the eurozone can you know hold their chests out proudly and and bait the drum of success realistically i think the euro should probably be trading closer into that one twenty seven and a half not and there's every chance it will be saying those levels around the the end of summer but then again that's that's my view and we shall need to see what happens in the ensuing weeks as to what happens but to answer your original question katrina isn't such a bad thing because ultimately that's not the way the currency allows for greater
9:29 am
exports right it's or isn't and the lived in fledgling economies within the eurozone thus bolstering bearer of a genius. prosperity very much that can break the senior manager trading advisory sexo by copenhagen. most all of business because that will be back with more in just under an all time high with us for headlines next. week.
