on the scene were witnesses and they did try those who could try to save as many people as they can. three people. i could not launch and then. there was a man. who was launching the many. people from the middle of the road you know the man reached. me. everything you saw me. everything was fine story. as to what exactly happened and it's still very early statements that have been made by officials airport here of aviation authorities it was said that the a plane was flying off course by about two hundred meters and had descended way earlier than it should have and according to the statements made by the ground control here. 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 box recorder the flight. 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 at the site of the tragedy the debris there is spread across a three hundred meter radius the flight recorder has already been found. recordings are being analyzed 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 cruel the ground services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes. it has to be said that the plane was

said to have hit a high voltage a power line and it had actually 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 to pull everyone through before in fact russia transport minister had said in two thousand and seven that 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 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 plane it's no in forty years of operation that you. extremely reliable. in previous human error was. the same is true that the pilot should have made

a second approach. to be what happens on the next presidential. test 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 today and some of them will be flying tomorrow so the survivors the families of the five that are already in moscow and three here. who are still here we expect the relatives to 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 compensation where they had to do have insurance rather. which is the airliner that had carried. its 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. wide financial aid to those who had

survived and here right now actually they had declared a three days of mourning and we do see some people still coming here with some flowers bringing them to this site and we of course will be joining you throughout the day for now artie's tests are silly alive at the crash site in petra that was thanks for that. but chris yates who is an aviation expert and principal at yates consulting says it's too early to know for sure the exact reason for the crisis but you know those who fight to come into this with this story one of those who is whether they're getting the right sort of motion from. the ground controllers question with getting the right sort of weather information about some of the key points. and also whether they were. already doing it with a controller that would keep a good track on the aircraft so him because of course around the airports we know

that the various obstacles to. going to impact on the safety of a big overtake also provided the how to all of that information given to. the should have been a routine monday. here with r t live from moscow more stories coming your way this hour including the price of health care. most of the legalisms the cost of the drug is simply unreal that 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 bungled 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 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 this money was due to move. the house 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 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 air late hours of this morning killing fifteen people including three were children are. there is the word on the mother's. own cause it's. the number is fifteen people nato has denied these claims just as it's never donated the deaths of more than eight hundred others believe in government says were killed by their bombs the nine people killed in sunday's bombing of a residential building in tripoli remain the all the civilian casualties i can buy the alliance which blamed a mistake or weapons technical failure a former pentagon official says the only thing clear ball to 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 to the voices of the neighboring people was and it seems that the more anger they feel about nato the more they support. the belief that it's taking so much for this is because seventy wasn't because it was says that the soldiers you. got the right challenge but the march it. was to defeat the taliban was to the united states this was done to get out i gotta. keep was i the was. we will not you want to deliver our listeners to we're not sure this is

a step the bomb being. attacking libya what's certain is that more are indeed dying . raif notional. tripoli. and it's not just in libya where foreign intervention is claiming a growing number of civilian lives as we reveal later in the program you lax is coming under criticism for its use of drone strikes in pakistan and yemen critics warning that instead of fighting terror could be fueling it. the greek government which is trying to push through harsh austerity measures is facing a no confidence vote in parliament it's survival is a crucial first step in securing a new loan from the e.u. designed to prevent it to faltering on its debts and triggering a eurozone crisis e.u. finance ministers have given greece choose weeks to force through tax hikes and spending cuts in return for a twelve billion euro lifeline the 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 groups is not the easiest tops concern. they've got friesian 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 with what's basically happening is that the taxpayers 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 united states of your own a common currency has resulted in a terrible terrible human to toss if there is a greek default the people who would suffer would be the. there's

a greek debt who are basically buying institutions and the light is sort of the people who are suffering no. principally probably the two million private sector employees in greece who are actually bearing the brunt of these draconian austerity cuts. are the financial guru max kaiser says greeks are being fooled into paying off the debt they're not responsible for you catch up with more of his thoughts on the scandals behind the economic struggles in greece later on r.t. . language is being abused or they're saying are talking about the people and their bet it's not the peoples 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 last one half the patients live to see the cure that's the nightmare scenario facing parents of children with deadly hunter syndrome here in russia where extortionate costs and a 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 me everything secure for him and. 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 defied he knew the point his mother is reading to him now by a hard going it was actually even a fraction if you like and talked about being a driver. 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 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 so money may be able to walk again and play and enjoy life like their kids. sierra leone hospital bill lloyd it 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 bag 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 truck. 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 for some volvo idea was never given a chance. to 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. are 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 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 makes me even though the little boy is just very kilometers to the south at least seven year old peter was also diagnosed with contra syndrome. from years before the damage becomes a record his parents believe she saved our son this state has to step in simply by this you know. no single family can deal with. the cost of the drugs simply unreal the local authorities often refuse to cover. this one think the state has to house. out of about two hundred fifty children hunter syndrome in russia doesn't have a receiving medical treatment it's

a postcode lottery available in reach or areas like mosco and almost unimaginable in poor towns and that despite the fact that when it comes to this citizenship old supposed to be playing on this. sort of like. look now it's a world news in brief for you this hour a major forum of the world's top nuclear officials is is in its second day gathering was prompted by the fukushima crisis the names to step up to safety measures that power plants worldwide to avoid a repeat the opening speeches were dominated by calls for greater transparency in the atomic industry over the much anticipated reading and discussion of the reports on japan's disaster is taking place behind closed doors the public has been promised only summaries of the results. tens of thousands have taken to the streets across syria in support of the country's president bashar also

a day earlier also addressed addressed rather the nation promising political reform and a general amnesty for prisoners whoever the embattled leader gave no sign of stepping down it was the third public appearance of syria's president since the uprising began in march. president obama is to announce the scale of the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan on wednesday the speed and size of the pullout has calls divisions for some in the military warning that undue haste would be dangerous there are currently around one hundred thousand american troops in the country that was drawled is scheduled to start next month and concluded twenty fourteen afghan forces take over security. while planning a pullout from afghanistan the u.s. 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 with the u.s. now turning its attention to yemen the upward look set to become even louder. 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 net it only five actual militant leaders of. pakistan in the number of casualties that result because of the drone strikes. in this like the taliban and al qaeda and other groups in pakistan to recruit new numbers and they're doing that. so many pakistanis are furious at 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 how on do we support

governments a large ones when do say enough is enough most governments lie to each other and so a business gets done washington now sees yemen as the most dangerous outpost and he's planning to step up drone attacks on the country establishing a base in the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when been launched replacement iman also ari is not to be building arbel kind has already significant presence in yemen. the u.s. had been cooperate ing 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 us military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the us starts to hit people who are numbers by the new arabian peninsula 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 is security. yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in want to tack there the american military presumably naming 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 would be expansion of the wrong war it seems to go on to seeking only a misnomer legally binding on my analysts say some of the major turns of visible on the face mark not having to take on the voice of the nation the param bombing and the lack of accountability when it comes to the city and that feature is that more carried on the last friday when the american body and bomb three terror at the same time i'm going to check our reporting. our. time for business here in our to you katrina is here next.

i don't welcomes artie's business bulletin the euro is facing a slow death that said by former british foreign secretary jack straw struck straw rather he's among a growing number of pessimists who think the writing is on the wall for the single currency on the other hand optimists alang hopes on today's conference vote in greece they're bracing the prime minister will survive and the country will get his bail out from the e.u. i'm joined now by ken rex from saxo bank i don't know what's your take on this do you think that the euro will survive. 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 george mark french frank and the long we're not going to be saying that i mean this is a political experiment it's simply too big to file and neither the e.c.b. nor the eurozone in general is prepared to lose funds well it's obviously there are

space in the south and what clues might they be looking for that this whole thing might unravel. look i think all the clues out the if this was ever going to unravel all the clues have already been set out on the table fairly clearly we've had eighteen months of contagion fees default rates. problems in spain greece italy portugal in the log all and obviously so all the clues in the writing so to speak is on the wall but fundamentally the situation has not changed in that there has been no concrete action or movement towards a disbanding of the euro or the eurozone that 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. on the it's hard for me to say and i personally i don't see a recovery to the point where every every criteria of the maastricht policy in 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 was mean for russia i mean how bad will the impact be. look i think the impact as as much as it's already been 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 like to use the phrase there is very much a risk on risk off mantra operating within the water financial markets now as with any other emerging market economy when is 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 the market and there's a risk off sentiment all 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 will bring predominantly amongst those russia has a slightly different different nature of impact 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 incidence of its profits russia probably shouldn't feel any more effects over and above what it's already saying now here i've a sharp drop in the value of that big that bob really. none and i mean it was you know i'll leave it to economists and politicians to pontificate and theorize where you are against say the dollar should be trading and what reasons for it to

be hard to lower but if we take a purely and i'm a try to sell to you from a try this point of view if you were to take into account genuine fundamentals and relative value then to be perfectly honest the euro dollar should probably be trading at parity if not slightly above because neither america nor the eurozone can hold it proudly in and be the drum of success realistically i think the euro should probably be trading closer into that one twenty seven and a half mark and there's every chance that we'll be seeing those levels around 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 a slightly weaker currency allows for greater exports gratitude reason and the like in fledgling economies within the eurozone thus bolstering their. well thank you very much that's kevin baker the senior manager trading advisory

bank copenhagen. and that's all the business for the south will be back with more in just under an hour's time stay with us for headlines next.
