a concert on the brink of becoming the first euro zone nation to do for. in business the closing bell so both russian markets in the black tuesday positive sentiment coming from a rebound in crude join me in twenty minutes time. you're watching live from moscow where it's seven pm on a nice now with 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 roof air flight on route from moscow to the result was crashed onto a road just one kilometer from its destination or correspondent. is at the crash. 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 well from what we know the early reports that we know the a plane was flying from moscow to get these 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 poland's residential halls 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 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 one suite of such men as well as to ukraine as a family of four with 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. i carry three people out of the wreckage one was either a girl or a woman i could not smell but she was larger than a man it was hard to see it was dark then there was a man he also wasn't happy it was launched and they. carried out two more people from the wreckage in the middle of the road another man reached out his hand towards me but i couldn't make it to him everything started actually i was going i could not get any closer everything was engulfed by fire story. as to what exactly happened and it's still very early part of this statement that had been made by officials of the 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 impressions of what was going to be 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 a first approach and he said he could do it but of course the flight recorder to fly possibly every quarter 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 that 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 caused the tragedy these include the human factor such as an air of the crew or ground services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes. here play in what's said to have hit a high voltage 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 b a. tuple level 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 carbon with 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 proved to be extremely reliable aircraft in previous catastrophes human error was always to blame and the same is true here you can and should have made a second landing approach this is exactly what happened to the polish presidential airplane the survivors 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 forty four that were killed in the crash now in terms of compensation were they had they do have insurance rather from the reverse era which is the airliner that had carried them to their pets as of course 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 up to the site well chris yates who is an aviation expert and principal at yates consulting is there too many factors to pinpoint the exact cause of the crash just yet. you know those little sorts of factors here come into this in this story. where they're getting the right sort of

information from the ground controllers that we have question. though getting the right sort of weather information and whereabouts and other key points. and also whether there would be. a raid or whether the control would be good track on the aircraft. because of course around the airports we know where the various obstacles are true true. on the safety of a landing or takeoff so provided we had all that information in to them the. more stories coming your way you're an artsy including the life threatening cost of health care but only a few lucky patients destined to 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 bungled airstrike nato has been accused by the libyan authorities of causing at least another fifteen doubts the alliance confirmed it had carried out another bombing but has not responded to allegations of civilian casualties are since may for notion of reports from tripoli. and other day has brought more death and destruction to libya a large private company and the rest of the capital tripoli has been leveled reduced to rubble in the parents as strike. rescuers have discovered the remains of fifteen people they called interleaving officials. the houses destroyed belonged to gen who 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 generals came to injury but most of his

family died in the attack. this man is talking about little 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. civilian. deaths in the early hours of this morning killing fifteen people including three children are. killed. but the number is fifteen and. nato has denied these claims just as a snub admitted the deaths of more than eight hundred eleven government says were killed by. the nine people killed in sunday's bombing of a residential building in tripoli remain the only civilian casualties i can although by the lines which claimed a mistake technical failure

a former pentagon official says the only thing clear pain 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 about 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 the out to the voices of the libyan people. and it seems that the more anger they feel about nato the more they supported. this is seventy. six was. it was

a chance. to. be . in the united states is. that. you want to deliver the message tonight or. is that. dying. tripoli. but it's not just in libya where foreign intervention is claiming a growing number of civilian lives as we revealed later in the program the u.s. is coming under criticism for its use of drone strikes in pakistan and yemen its critics warning that instead of fighting terror it could be fueling and. the greek government which is trying to push through harsh austerity measures is

facing a no confidence vote in parliament its survival is a critical first step in securing a new loan from the e.u. designed to prevent its a faltering on its debts and triggering a euro crisis you finance ministers have given greece two weeks to force their tax hikes and spending cuts in return for a troubled billion euro lifeline the conditions are deeply unpopular with the greek public and to discuss the upcoming vote we're now joined by i see most of the new democratic party from athens thanks for being with us your party says it will vote against the prime minister and by all accounts we're hearing it's up to be a very close vote which way do you think it will swing. i think the government. there we won't have any surprises but i must point out were voting against the continuation of the current policy these austerity measures. result in the greek economy everything is practically we need development and there

is no development. orientation in this government bolasie it with this agreement so we have all for we all for. the how of. the peroration government with the socialist party but good. for saying something super excuses about. communication the reason. that we couldn't form a common government what greece deeply needs because you can see the desperation the anger in the streets what greece deeply needs is hope our biggest deficit is not the economic deficit it's a deficit of hope because this government has no development orientation in its policies it's just cut down cut down cut down but in the end the result is

a bad economy and this is bad both for our european partners and for the americans because i must point out that most of the greek. papers let's say are in german and french banks and all the bets in a bankruptcy are in american banks so there is a very easy tell us please what alternative your party can offer to the greek people. we have already offered for the first time in great political history an opposition party has presented detailed evaluate the program how we can get out of this crisis in the next three years and most of all how can we restructure our economy because a part of the already existing bed our deepest problem is that as we are speaking greece is producing new beds and we must risk talk to our economy

from ground up. what does that plan have a future in the european union for greece. i believe ready explain to you how interactive is the greek economy with the european economies especially for germany and france a greek bankruptcy will have catastrophic results but i must point out that greece's future is in a balanced external policy we deeply regretful for the fact that for the past twenty months the socialist government has practically neutralized all the greek groschen of agreements in the energy and the defense sector that was signed up by the ex prime minister because this kind of not least from our party president then president vladimir putin and we b.p.

believe for a restart of our economy the greek russian corporation must be people and why the right greek and p. cmos thank you very much for being with us live on the line from. parities 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 this hour here on r.t. all languages being abused. are talking about the people and their it's not the people that those people don't have the debt the brokers gave them their debt o.b.d. they're suffering from other people's debts it's not their dad that's why they're having a revolution. but

a call treatment as a lot of reward less than half the patients live to seek a cure that's the nightmare scenario facing parents of children with deadly hunter syndrome here in russia where extortionate costs and lots of state support are snuffing out young lives on a boycott reports we first met followed in february he's here fourteen according to his birth certificate he looked have. his hearing was rapidly declining his vision almost gone he responded only to this strokes of his moderate to give up everything secure for him and. i'm 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 the age of five he knew the point his mother is reading to him now by heart it was actually even affectionate 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 got a current gets rid of toxins it's extremely rare and extremely expensive to treat these without treatment doctors say he may soon die if we get the drug his body will be slowly clean stop the toxins you may be able to walk again and play and enjoy life like other kids say annual cost for valborg it was almost eight hundred thousand dollars beyond comprehension for you lana harassment love the family with the first signs of the disease she petitioned old sorts of organizations it was about to see the local authorities when in april they finally agreed to provide the money for the drug there but then this piece of paper same poll just licensed to life. when i got this letter i was so hopeful it meant that my child would

live they 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 he does 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. that 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 far cities 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 or it's already too late to how to follow into the 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 a wrap of all his parents believe to save their son has to step in. and no single family can deal with this disease on its own because of the drug is simply unreal the local authorities often refuse to cover the costs that's why i think the state has to house. out of about two hundred fifty children of eight

hundred syndrom 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 poor towns and that despite the fact that when it comes to this citizenship all supposed to be playing on this c t. r c. a look now at some world news in brief for you this hour tens of thousands have taken to the streets cross syria in support of the country's president bashar al assad a day earlier also addressed the nation promising political reforms and a general amnesty for prisoners over 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 caused divisions and some of the military warning that undue haste would be

dangerous there are currently around one hundred thousand american troops in the country for withdrawal is scheduled to start next month and conclude in twenty fourteen afghan forces take over security. but all 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 gammon 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 here in pakistan. that result because of the drone strikes. like the taliban and al qaeda and other

groups in pakistan to recruit new members in their. case 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 a 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 as the abolition of bays in the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when bin laden's replacement iman also ari is not to be building up al qaeda has already significant presence in the. the us had been cooperating 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 id and you arabian peninsula and then i think we'll worry is that it expands to scorch 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 they are the american military presumably ming 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 in yemen he stammered and aides with the expansion. the wrong for it seems to go once it's taking only

a minute down the line on the monitor analysts say some of them may be in terms of this new global trade mark not having to make you put down the list of the names and that their mommy and the lack of accountability when it comes to the community that it's peter is that more paradox the last ride mentality where the american model and fostering terror at the same time i am going to check our. business news coming up with katrina after this short break. hello welcome to auntie's business go to a euro is facing a slow day says former british foreign secretary jack straw even the optimist

recognize the currency is vulnerable to shot the kleins can back the from saxo bank explains how he thinks this will impact on russia but the thing with russia to remember is that no matter what really happens internally it's still regarded for the most part as an emerging market economy and as such as notches odds on like to use the fries there is very much the risk on risk off the mantra operating within the wider financial markets now as with any other emerging market economy when is a general risk on size. economies and countries such as russia are in favor and that means increased foreign direct investment flow of money and as soon as the mood overall turns in the market and there's a risk off sentiment or risk aversion and then just as quickly as the money came into russia inflows just as quickly out the only thing obviously the main differentiator here is that obviously being rich of natural resources of oil being

predominantly amongst those russia has a slightly different different nature of the impact they can play out on its economy so while the central bank maintains its policy of raising rates so that'll inflation and oil stays relatively high and some of its process russia probably shouldn't feel any more effects over and above what it's already said. looking at the markets now and starting with oil light suite. up at just under ninety four dollars a barrel of oil brant is around one hundred twelve dollars a barrel the u.s. markets are trading optimistically tuesday as concerns over the greek debt default begin to ease the nasdaq is one and three quarters of a percent in the black with the dow more than half a percent up. here appearing markets are also continuing to trade choose day on a positive note in the leader's nakia with a two point five percent gain after the company revealed its new smartphone and
