one was either a girl or a woman i could not sell but she was larger than the man who was haunt to see was dark and there was a man who was in the heavy he was launched on me then we 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 starts exploding i could not get any closer everything was engulfed by fire so very. as to what exactly happened and it's still very early statements that have 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 according to the statements made by the ground control here. 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 box recorder the
11:02 am
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 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 the ground services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes. the a plane 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 as for the actual plane itself it does have quite a bad reputation they have to pull level one three four in fact russia and the transport minister. i had said in two thousand and seven that this is actually an
11:03 am
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. i don't think anything would go wrong with the plane it's in forty 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 the families of the five that are already in moscow and three here at least those who are still here we expect the relatives to see them here as well as the relatives of those that had been killed forty four that were killed in the crash now in terms of compensation they had to do have insurance rather from.
11:04 am
which is the airliner that had carried. of boards they will receive about two million rubles that's about seventy one thousand dollars that's insurance for those who were killed 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 a three days of mourning and we do see some people still coming here with some flowers bringing them to this site well chris yates who is an aviation expert and principle it consulting to many factors to pinpoint the exact cause of the crash. you know there's all sorts of factors come into the story one of those who is where they were getting the right sort of information from the ground controllers that we have which in question were getting the right sort of weather information and what
11:05 am
about some other key points. and also whether they would be more accurately by radio whether the controller would keep a good track on the aircraft. because of course around the airports we know the various obstacles to have an impact on the safety of a landing or takeoff provided how to all of that information given to them should have been routine monday. more stories coming your way here in archie 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 arches rif an
11:06 am
ocean of reports from tripoli. and 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 an apparent as strike. rescuers have discovered the remains of fifteen people according to libyan officials one of. the houses destroyed belonged to gen 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. because. this man is talking about lethal are one of the grandchildren of the general and one of three kids killed in the
11:07 am
incident the day of the bombing the family had gathered with friends to celebrate his fourth birthday. libyan civilians it is weird attacked in the hours of this morning killing fifteen people including three children are. mothers. but the number is fifteen people 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
11:08 am
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 all the voices become more and more than. the voices of the libyan people. and it seems that the more anger they feel about nato the more they support a leader. that this is because seventy was. the to. the united states is was. that.
11:09 am
we do want to deliver out of this is. what's certain is that. dying. r.t. tripoli. and 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 view while since 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 an. the very 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 it to faltering on its debts and triggering a euro crisis you finance ministers have given greece two weeks to force their tax
11:10 am
hikes and spending cuts in return for a twelve billion euro lifeline the conditions are deeply unpopular with the greek public and to discuss the upcoming vote we're now joined live by c. 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 not to be a very close vote which way do you think it will swing. i think the government has a theory about joe that we won't have any surprises but most point were voting against the continuation of the current policy these austerity measures. result could call me everything is practically we need development and there is no development. orientation in this government policy with this groom
11:11 am
and so we have all for we all for two rows of. corporations and government with the socialist party but. to say something stupid spews is about. communication the reasons that we could do for government what group. 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 konami 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 the colony 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
11:12 am
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 and opposition party has presented a 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 that our deepest problem is that as we are speaking greece is producing new debt and we must restructure our economy from ground up. does that plan have a future in the european union for greece. i believe it's plain to you
11:13 am
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 is 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 a grievance in the energy and the defense sector that was signed up by the ex prime minister costas karamanlis from our party president then president vladimir putin and we b.p. believe for a restart of our economy greek russian cooperation must be deeper and why the right greek m.p.

cmos thank you very much for being with us live on the line that's. 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 this hour here on r.t. 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. they're suffering from other people's debts it's not their dead that's why they're having a revolution. medical treatment as a lot of rain where less than half the patients live to see the cure that's the nightmare scenario facing parents of children with deadly hunter syndrome here in
11:15 am
russia where extortionate costs and lack of state support are snuffing out young lives oksana boyko reports. the first match followed in february he's here fourteen according to his birth certificate he looked have that he's hearing was rapidly declining his vision almost gone he responded only to the strokes of his mother who gave up everything to care for him. 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 they just 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
11:16 am
a genetic condition that means his body can't get 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 fairly will cost for 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 pictish and 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 voted health took
11:17 am
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. tape or administrative procedures whatever you call it . the idea was never given a chance local authorities say there was absolutely no way to speed things up their own region where you land 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. for the treatment of this boy in monetary terms is equivalent to almost 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
11:18 am
restructuring and to hold attended to 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 the allocated money may save another little boy theory 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 wrapper both 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 help. 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 mosco and almost unimaginable in poor towns and that despite the fact that when it comes to this citizenship that

all supposed to be playing on this same team in america artsy early june. well look now at some world news in brief for you this hour tens of thousands taking to the streets from 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 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 afghan forces take over security. well while planning
11:20 am
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 given the uproar it 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 net it only five actual militant leaders. in pakistan in the number of civilian casualties that result because of the drone strikes. string this like the taliban and al qaeda and other groups in pakistan to recruit new members in there during that. summer in case many pakistanis are furious at
11:21 am
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 on 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 as stablish ing a base in the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when bin laden's work placement iman also laurie is thought to be building up as already significant presence in yemen. the u.s. 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
11:22 am
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. military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the u.s. starts to hit people who are members 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. yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in one attack there the american military presumably ming at an al qaeda 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 wrong war its influence is seeking only in itself the lighting on the lighter and i would say some of them may be terms of the on the face mark not having to make you put down the force of the belief in that their mommy and the lack of accountability when it

11:24 am
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 much is done like to use the fries there is very much the 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 or risk aversion then just as quickly as the money came into russia it flows just as quickly the only thing obviously the main differentiator here is that obviously being rich of natural resources or we will bring predominantly amongst those russia has a slightly different different nature of the impact they can play out on its
