here is really a blow to the each man reached out to santa leads me to incriminate him everything still she's losing. lives everything was in a gold mine tragedy in northwest russia as a passenger plane crashes onto a highway killing forty four people early reports suggest pilot error and bad weather are to blame. at least fifteen more civilians killed as nato bombers miss a tough gadhafi aide but instead hit the birthday party of his four year old grandson. and showdown in the greek parliament the pm savage's new austerity

cuts face a no confidence vote athens on the brink of becoming the first euro zone nation to do for. my from our studios in central moscow if you're watching archie with me and you see now a our top story officials say bad weather and pilot error of the likely causes of a plane crash which killed forty four people and left eight injured in northwest russia on sunday night the routes are flight for an route from moscow to cut those of waltz crashed onto a road just one kilometer from its destination our correspondent. in the city of there's a force where the tragedy happened. right here at the scene you can still see behind me the emergency services and they are still picking out parts of the plane that we saw earlier. from what we know the early reports that we know the a plane was flying off from moscow to pictures of the risk here in the northwest of

the country and if you can see behind me there's a road it had landed perpendicular to the road it was on its way to 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 recent reports we have five of those survivors already in moscow to be treated for their injuries with 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. russian citizenship now are the first on the scene right now is 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 it did try to save as many people as they can. three people in each one

was a very good one i could not smell which was launched and then the man was hard to see it was dark and there was a man who also was unhappy and was launched in the. carried out to more people from the right 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. everything was a. story. as to what exactly happened and it's still very early but it was a statement that had 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 in terms of what they said that they had asked the 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

a first approach and he said he could do it but of course the flight recorder to fly past record 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 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 calls the tragedy these include the human factor such as an air of the crew the ground services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes. the airplane 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 asked for the actual plane itself it does have quite a bad reputation. tupolev one three four in fact russia and the 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 that 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 itself in future years of operation the triple of one three four has come to be 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 the survivor the 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 the forty four that were killed in the crash now in terms of compensation they had they do

have insurance rather from. era which is the airliner that have carried them to their patches of boards and 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 declared three days of mourning and we do see some people still coming here with some flowers bringing them to this site. chris yates who is an aviation expert and principle at yates consulting says there are too many factors to pinpoint an exact cause of the crash just yet. well you know those sorts of factors come into the. story. whether they were getting the right sort of information from the ground controllers question with getting the right sort of weather information

through some of the key points. and also whether there would be. a radio with the control rooms would people try it on the aircraft. because of course around airports we know the various obstacles who. are on the safety of a landing or takeoff so provided how do all that information into the. routine landing. and pilot in space and aviation expert yuri karas told r.t. poor crew training could be at the root of the tragedy. there are different airliners like aeroflot. these a very big and very well established airlines but there are also regional airlines which sometimes can seize over just two or three aircraft and good morals how will the technical or. how will. the reins of the rules.

or stories coming your way in the program including the life threatening cost of health care. but only a few lucky patients just didn't win the lottery of life we report on the struggle for a multimillion dollar treatment of a deadly disease. but first just a day after admitting killing nine civilians in a bank 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 here a large private compound west of the capital tripoli has been leveled reduced to rubble in an apparent airstrike rescuers have discovered the remains of fifteen people according to leaving officials.

the houses troy belonged to general who are the other 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 one years ago the general escaped injury but most of his family died in the attack. because. this man is talking about people are 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 it is. in the early hours of this morning killing fifteen people including three children are. very. close.

but the number is fifteen and. nato has denied these claims just as it's never admitted 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 by the alliance which claimed a mistake to. pay their former pentagon official says the only thing clear about the nato campaign is the mountain casualty toll and it's inflicting on the libyan 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 increases other voices become more and more than out. their voices of the libyan people.

and it seems that the more anger they feel about nato the more they support. this is the answer. to this is the problem. that. you want to deliver the message. i think what's certain is that the more dying. 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 the u.s. is coming under criticism for its use of drone strikes in pakistan and yemen with 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 that survival is a critical 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 but e.u. finance ministers have even greece two 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 dartmouth whose u.k. independence party wants britain out of the european union says the plight of working greeks is not the e.u. top concern. they've got frozen feet about about about the whole deal

i mean greece is really not a very large economy and world in the present seventy billion with probably more to come in twelve months time and i mean where is it all going to when what's basically happening is that the taxpayers of northern europe particularly germany are going to have to pay up to stop greece and default and tax present on your don't particularly like it 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 for the people who would suffer would be the holders of greek sovereign debt who are basically banks institutions and the like is of the people who are suffering now. who are principally private the two million private sector employees in greece who actually bearing the brunt of these draconian austerity cuts. well arty's financial guru max kaiser says greeks are being fooled

into paying off a debt they're not responsible for you can catch up with more of his thoughts on the scandals behind the economic struggles in greece later today here on our. languages being abused they're saying or talking about the people and their dead it's not the peoples that those people don't have the debt the brokers gave them their debt. 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 less than 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 costs and lack of state support are snuffing out young lives some a boy reports we first met probably in february he's here fourteen

according to his birth certificate he looked half not his hearing was rapidly declining his vision was gone he responded only to the strokes of his mother who give 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 that age of five he knew the point his mother is reading to him now by heart it was active in a fraction and he liked cats and talked about being a driver the step by step his health 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 current gets 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 toxins may be able to walk again and play and enjoy life like other kids sarah will cost for both already was almost eight hundred thousand dollars beyond comprehension for you lana was hasn't left the family but the first signs of the disease should petitioned old sores everything is ations it was a bone tissue the local authorities when in april they finally agreed to provide the money for the drug then this piece of paper seemed coldest 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 of zero 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 does it's not the worst thing for her 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. tape or administrative procedures whatever you call it . 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 an impoverished mostly agricultural province in central russia but what is treatment would have accounted for about a quarter of all how for cities but here in college interest for the treatment of this boy in monetary terms is equivalent to almost all cancer surgeries in our region and we're talking about fountains 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

how polo to be allocated money saved in not only the boy spirit kilometers to the south at least seventy year old was also diagnosed with conscious syndrome yet he still has a few years before the damage becomes of record his parents believe just save their son this fate has to step in the body. 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 that's why i think the state has to help. how did it go two hundred fifty children of a hundred in germany russia less than half are receiving medical treatment it's a postcode lottery available in reach or 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 pleasing to. artsy.

it's coming up to nineteen minutes past the hour and let's talk about some other international stories in brief a major forum of the world's top nuclear officials is in its second day in vienna i gather and was prompted by the focus e-mail crisis and names to step up safety measures that power plants worldwide 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 the japanese 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 address the nation promising political reform and a general amnesty for prisoners however the embattled leader gave no sign of stepping down it was the third probably could perience 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 pulled out his cause divisions with some of the military warning that undue haste would be dangerous there are currently around one hundred thousand american troops in the country but withdrawal is scheduled to start next month and conclude in twenty fourteen when afghan forces take over security. well 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 uproar looks 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 netted

only five actual militant leaders. in the number of civilian casualties that result because of their own strengths. like the taliban in our qaeda and other groups in pakistan can record numbers in their doing that. 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 to support governments or large ones when do say enough is enough most governments lie to each other that's the way 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 the

nonce replacement iman also laurie is not to be building up will kiters 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 with the nationwide turmoil against the sollie regime that means the americans are likely to have a freer hand going it along 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 alone quiet in the arabian peninsula and then i think we'll worry is that it extends this war to the point where so many people showing up at all their security. yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in want to attack fear the american military presumably means at an all kreider training camp ended up killing dozens of women and children in another

strike a year ago a drone mistakenly killed a deputy governor easy him and his family and ate with the expansion of the floor it's easy once it's economically in itself to buy the light or at least say something that may be true as of this fall the phrase hard not having to make you feel accountable with the police and the bombing and the lack of ability when it comes to that the truth is that you get more carried on. with the barricades and obviously here at the same time i'm going to check out. that wraps up the main news block coming up as the latest business update with katrina. hello and welcome to aunty's business bulletin russia's biggest mana nor nickel is electing a new board of directors at its annual general meeting the company has been the

whether today's music there was twenty five percent of his searches fees and to the institutional shareholders services decided it was six of them to be independent but recommended to go to the only two of them and what's important is that they strongly recommended not to vote for that side of the ocean who is to sit by them to be too closely connected with the result c.e.o. i did see boston was also worth mentioning. if. it's under the ocean it is really up to here and like it would be c.v. under this long standing just view any time soon as ever stasio deposit made it clear he's not going to sell his stake in the company and also during the recent economic forum in st peter's that that he would rather concentrate on the natural world he's company rather than just you merges with any other companies are also besides the board of directors there was another stumbling look that's the model didn't pay out thirty one point two percent of the company's net profit will be
