me. carried out two more people from the wreckage in the middle of the road and then the man reached out his hand towards me but i couldn't make it to him everything starts exploding i could not get any closer everything was engulfed by so very. 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 the 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 communication recordings are being on a lonely forensic analysis is being carried out looking into several versions of what cools 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 caught 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 three four in fact russia and the transport minister had said in two thousand and seven that this is actually at all the silly plan 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 itself in future years of operation that you put on one three four has proved 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 families 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 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 they had they do have insurance rather from. which is the airliner that had carried. of lords

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 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 the site. chris yates who is an aviation expert and principal at yates consulting says there are too many factors to pinpoint an exact cause of the crash just yet. you know those who also fight to come into this. story one of those who is where they were getting the right sort of information from the ground controllers that we have ports in question with getting the right sort of weather information and what about some other key points. and also whether they would be monitored accurately but i really don't know whether the control groups would keep

a good track on the aircraft honey so on because of course around airports we know where the various obstacles to how we can impact on the safety of a landing or takeoff provided how to all of that information given to them should have been routine monday 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 airline arce like aeroflot are all of these very big and very well established airlines but there are also regional airlines which sometimes can seize the over just three aircraft and good morals how will a bit technical or mind and the whole will. the reins of it groups. or stories coming your way in the program including the life threatening cost of health care. but only

a few lucky patients destined to win the lottery up like we report on the struggle for a multi-million dollar treatment of a deadly disease. 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 confirmed it had carried out another bombing but has not responded to allegations of civilian casualties are no 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 one of. 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 one years ago the general escaped injury but most of his family died in the attack. because. this man is talking about lethal 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 from it is where attacked in the airlie hours of this morning killing fifteen people including three children are. mothers. but the number is fifteen and. nato has denied these claims just as it's never debated the death of more than eight hundred eleven 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 ball 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 nato his actions and crazies are their voices become more and more than two voices of the libyan people. and it seems that the more anger they feel about nato the more they support a leader. this is the seventy's that

was. in the united states is that was the. we want you all to deliver our message to we're not sure what leads us to the bomb being god. is the more indeed dying. r.t. 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 it's 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 well e.u. finance ministers have given 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 m.e.p. william dartmouth whose u.k. independence party wants britain out of the european union says the plight of working greeks is not the top concern. 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

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 or default person or new or don't particularly like obsession in the near fanaticism of the european elite for the political project of the united states of europe 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 greed. who basically institutions on the light is sort of the people who are suffering no. who can simply private the two million private sector employees in the east who actually bearing the brunt of these draconian austerity cuts. marty'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 or they're saying or talking about the people and their dead it's not the people's dead 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 they're dead 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 cost and lack of state support are snuffing out young lives like some a boy 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 this strokes of his mother who gave up everything to care 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 they just five he knew the point his mother is reading to him now by heart it was active in affectionate like cats and talked about being a driver 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 conned 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 talks and she may be able to walk again and play and enjoy life like other kids say airlie all costs

will 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 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 local authorities say there was absolutely no way to speed things up their own region where you live and leave it in poverty mostly agricultural province in central russia treatment would have accounted for about a quarter of all how subsidies of. course 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 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 to the allocated money may save another little boy just very kilometers to the south at least seventy year old peter who was also diagnosed with

contra syndrome yet he still has a few years before the damage becomes of record 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. out of about two hundred fifty children of a hunter syndrome in russia less than half are receiving medical treatment it's a postcode 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 they're all supposed to be playing on this c t. r c. it's coming up to nineteen minutes past the hour let's check on some other international stories in brief a major forum of the world's top nuclear officials is in its second day in vienna

gathering was prompted by the fukushima crisis the names to step up safety measures that power plants worldwide the opening speeches were dominated by calls for greater transparency in the atomic industry however 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 assad 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 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 cause divisions with some in the military warning that undue haste would be

dangerous there are currently around one hundred thousand american troops in the country that withdrawal is scheduled to start next month and conclude in twenty fourteen when 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 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 the cia drone strikes killed seven hundred civilians but netted only five actual militant leaders. in pakistan in the number of civilian casualties that result because of the drone strikes. in

this like the taleban in all qaeda and other groups in pakistan to recruit new members and they're doing their. celebrating face 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 can do is a poor girl months or large ones when we 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 al qaida outpost and he's planning to step up drone attacks on the country and stablish ing a base in the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when bin laden's replacement iman also laurie is not to be building up as already significant presence in yemen. the u.s.

had been cooperate with yemeni counterterrorism forces in targeting al qaida but they've since left the field preoccupied instead with their nationwide turmoil against the sollie regime that means the americans are likely to have a few. we are hand going it alone with the cia to take a central role because the agency is not subject to the accountability the u.s. military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the u.s. 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'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 to go on to see you not only in itself the lighting on the mind of analysts say some of that maybe in terms of the all the base mark not having to put down the force of the state and that their mommy and the lack of accountability when it comes to be in that peter is that more paradox the one writing what that miracle your body bob story here at the same time i am getting back now with. that wraps up the main news block coming up there's 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 center of a furious dispute between its two biggest shareholder is. roussel an investment firm into ross owned by russian billionaires for more details i'm joined by ati's yulia bok of our visit the a.g.m.

how you're going to tell me what's happened what's really at stake at today's meeting. well katrina the main intrigue of the day hasn't been solved yet formally it's still not known whether the former brother in chief of stubbornness on the ocean has been reelected as chairman of the board and head of this meeting with the main question was whether the longstanding dispute between the old stick those two main shareholders themselves and interest will continue but the main stumbling block between them was the world's deepest corporate governance until now result was just such a slide that the seven i'll just let you know because board members in the line against it was ahead of me to solve this do you want to direct us where to major shareholders are equally substantially represented we represented to teach the way that control which rests with independent directors whether today's meeting there were twenty five candidates the search in fees and to the institutional shareholders services to sit at least six of them to be independent but recommended

to go to only two of them and what's important is that they strongly recommended not to vote for that side of the ocean who is decided by them to be too closely connected with the result c.e.o. live to boston was also worth mentioning that. if. it's under the ocean it is really up to here and like that we may see the end of this longstanding dispute any time soon as ever sol c.e.o. dick deposit made it clear he is not going to sell his stake in the company and also during the recent economic fortunes. seems that he would rather concentrate on the natural growth of these company rather than feel merges with any other companies. also besides the board of directors that was another stumbling block up the mountain dividend payouts thirty one point two percent of the company's net profit will be paid in defense that's up quite a lot so that would make six dollars for each share bar to. be sold out want to hire payouts that's what we know. well thank you and we look

forward to getting updates about that as they progress. the oil prices rebounding slightly after losing six percent last week however worries about a possible default by greece i still weighing on crude the country's parliament is due to hold conference confidence vote like the cheese day hold hand want to pick a from platts energy agency explains why the small country is having such a big effect on the crude market. we already have a historical event similar to this one we have brothers lehman brothers course a flight from a couple of markets and i general loss of wealth as the loss of wealth occur consumption grew up oil prices fell in two thousand and eight from one hundred forty to forty dollars so what happened from ben to me is china has grown so that's grown more south america and africa demand globally.

probably more brothers and now it's only growth so if something serious were to happen in greece that man would again trying to north that he was what they would continue to be growth even asia and elsewhere the result would be make of people who was there but we still have a major problem i don't think we're going to loose sixty percent of the budget but imo ten percent or even twenty percent is likely if there is a major default you're. now looking at the markets starting with oil light sweet is about ninety four dollars a barrel and brant is just under one hundred twelve dollars a barrel also positive the u.s. markets have opened optimistically tuesday with the down jones at half a percent up and the nasdaq more than a percent in the black. european markets also kicked off trade tuesday on a positive note in the leaders not here with

a two point five percent going after the company revealed its new smartphone and said it expects it to launch the first windows devices later this year here in moscow tried also continues on a positive note choose day the r.t.s. is slightly higher driven by oil and gas and financial stocks on a rebound in crude and the my six is up half a percent. let's have a look at an individual share moves on the my six now telecom is down around one percent and. the losing eight percent the session before that so news the company will be included in the privatization program meanwhile energy majors bounced back from the earlier losses supported by growing oil prices gazprom is at one percent this hour while the oil is zero point six percent in the black. 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.

morning news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images go board has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are on the day.

at six thirty pm moscow time these are the top stories from archie forty four people are killed as a passenger plane crash lands and northwest russia eight survivors are hospitalized in critical condition and preliminary reports suggest pilot error and bad weather are to blame for the tragedy. at least fifteen more civilians killed as nato bombers miss a top gadhafi aide but instead hit the birthday party of his four year old grandson prompting libyans to question the intervention tasked with protecting them. and showdown in the greek parliament the pm faces a no confidence vote on whether to pass savage new austerity cuts in return or in

the e.u. cash lifeline or become the first euro zone nation to default on its debt. next we'll look at the state of the stalled 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 vehicle 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 whittle but we should trust 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's first of all concerned with the wind being and we're doing of his own people but he's also interested in continuing their missions in the vision and the it took upon him so when he took off what is your reading of the relationship between obama and the israeli prime minister been.
