12:01 pm
a no confidence vote later with the country on the brink of becoming the first eurozone nations to do pull. away watching r.t. it's now eight pm tuesday night here in moscow but i'm scared to know it and first our top story officials say bad weather and pilot error are the likely causes of a plane crash that killed forty four and left eight injured in northwestern russia on sunday nights the flight on route from moscow to patrons of oscar crashed into a road just a kilometer from its destination our correspondent test wrestlers in the city of predators of all square the tragedy happened. right here at the scene you can still see behind me via emergency services so they are still picking up parts of the plane that we saw earlier well from what we know the early reports that we know of the a plane was flying from moscow to put these of course here in the northwest of the
12:02 pm
country and if you can see behind me there's a road it had landed perpendicular to the road it was on its way so it's 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 once we did dutchman 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 did try to save as many people as they can. three people out of iraq each one was either
12:03 pm
a girl. i could not sell but she was launched then. and there was a man who also wasn't happy with the many. carried out people from the right in the middle of the road and the man reached out. to him everything he saw six managing. everything was built by falling down. as to what exactly happened it's still very early part of a statement made by officials airport here of aviation authorities it was set up the 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 if it is important for scott they said that they had to be a pilot to make a second approach because of low visibility and the bad weather conditions the pilot according to that had said he will try to make this first approach and he said he could do it but of course the flight recorder. recorder that is has already
12:04 pm
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 so much of the tragedy of debris here is spread across a three hundred meter radius a flight recorder has already been found. recordings are being on a loyalist forensic analysis is being carried out looking into several versions of what caused the tragedy these include the human factor such as an air of the crew on the ground services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes. the plane was said to have hit a. power line and it had actually cut electricity for the neighborhood here and the people still don't have electricity i asked for the actual plane itself it does have quite a bad reputation. eleven months before in fact a russian the transport minister had said in two thousand and seven that this is
12:05 pm
actually and i'll believe planet 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 the triple zero one three four has to do 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 pounding approach this is exactly what happened to the polish presidential airplane the survivor ursa families there of the five that are already in moscow and three here are these 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
12:06 pm
a conversation we had if you have insurance rather from the right wrist era which is the airliner that will carry them to put is 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 be had declared a three days of mourning and we do see some people still coming here with some flowers bringing them to the site. of their bring us hope that they will crush an expert he says there are too many factors to pinpoint an exact cause of the crash just. well you know there's all sorts of factors here come into the story one of those is whether they were getting the right sort of information from the ground controllers of course in question with their getting the right sort of
12:07 pm
weather information from all over some of the key points. and also whether they would be involved with accurate employ radio whether to control those people try on the aircraft when it's so hard because of course around airports we know where the various obstacles are true true having an impact on the safety of a bombing or a takeoff so provided the had all that information given to them. should have been a routine landing coming out of the program in just a few minutes with me carol and when fighting terror breeds more terror a u.s. drone attacks in pakistan and yemen keep claiming civilian lives causing an uproar among locals and sending them to the audience of the taliban all that ahead of the life threatening cost of health care with only a few lucky patients destined to win the lottery of life we report on the struggle for a multi-million dollar think of a deadly disease. just a day after admitting killing nine civilians in
12:08 pm
a bungled airstrike nato has been accused by the libyan authorities now of causing at least another fifteen deaths he lives confirmed it had carried out another bombing but has not responded to the allegations of a civilian casualties. as the latest from tripoli. and the other day has brought more death and destruction to libya and large private companies west of the capsule three fleet has been leveled reduced to rubble in the parents as a strike. rescues have discovered the remains of fifteen people according to libyan officials the notion that it was going to leave. the house destroyed 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 even leaders of power forty one years ago. to general escaped injury but most of his family died in the attack. this man is talking about
12:09 pm
there are a lot of the grandchildren of the general and one of three cade's killed in the incident the day of the bombing the family had gathered with friends to celebrate his fourth bestie. libyan civilians from it is twitter attacked in the ne hours of this morning killing fifteen people including three were children are murdered there is still the mother's. calls and. the number is fifteen people nato has denied these claims just as it's never measured the deaths of more than eight hundred others or even government says were killed by they have launched the nine people killed in sunday's bombing of a residential building in tripoli i mean the all the sit in casualties i can all it's by the airlines which claim to mistake technical failure
12:10 pm
a former pentagon official says the only thing clear about the nato campaign is the mountain 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 this can tend to make whose actions and crazes other voices become more and more to the voices of the libyan people was and it seems that the more anger they feel about nato the more they supposed to. believe that it's about this is the second chance that. this is that says that you're. right challenging because it's. best
12:11 pm
to. stay. in the united states was to get out i can't. believe. we will we want to deliver our listeners to or not sure this is a step that. i think what's certain is that more indeed dying. greif national r.t. tripoli. well we've got more footage of the devastation following today's bombing but i can tell you is too graphic to be shown here on air if you would however though like to get the full picture you can see it on my youtube channel on you tube dot com slash r.t. if you discretion is advised there because those images are disturbing.
12:12 pm
news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of canada after. corporations rule the day. this is r.t. from moscow the greek government which is trying to push through harsh austerity measures is facing a no confidence vote in parliament later tonight survival is a critical first step though in securing a new loan from the e.u. designed to prevent a defaulting on its debts and triggering a euro zone crisis you finance ministers are given greece two weeks now to force through trackside some slightly closer in return for a twelve billion euro lifeline the conditions are deeply unpopular with the great public let's discuss the unfolding drama in the parliament and the greek debt crisis was there i mean p. david campbell balam and he's joining us from brussels mr campbell balam a very good evening how do you see the great harm in voting tonight. i'm not sure
12:13 pm
what the result will be but always is norma's pressures a lot a lot of trouble in greece about these carts the extra taxes it's difficult to call but if the no confidence vote is goes through then obviously presumably an election and the implications on the euro i think are very serious indeed you know what if it does default that is a big fear what is going to happen. well i think there's got the trouble will continue i mean basically you know the economy is in serious trouble in greece the real fear. in union here is contagion as they call it that if private investors actually are hit badly by greece then they will not invested other trial countries in trouble such as portugal such as are and particularly which is much bigger than a lot of the smaller countries put together and tries honestly as well maybe as
12:14 pm
well they've been degraded i'm like oh it isn't worth this constant stream of bail out package the packages though or is it just time to cut the strings and don't know you have to go your own way has to sort itself out without more bailouts well i think this is what's going to happen because the question now is are we throwing good money after they know how many billions can you throw at this you know the tolerance of the people for carts for extra taxes as we've seen in greece is real trouble there but there's trouble in spain and ireland particularly i think it's in major trouble the euro and i have been saying throughout see for some time i do believe it will collapse either in part or totally and probably quite shortly now as an n.e.p. as it makes you feel say you know with collapse around you potentially. well i don't rejoice in it because obviously the economic damage is great a lot of banks will suffer and even if they british banks are directly so directly
12:15 pm
involved in greek debt there is a sort of contagion effect throughout the whole banking industry so it's not something to celebrate but to be honest i think the euro is a political prison for for countries such as greece and spain and they need to be liberated from that prison recreate their own currencies have the valuation make their exports cheaper make it easier for tourists to visit their countries and they'll get back on their feet i think the euro is very undesirable for a lot of these countries but it's of bail out is the way forward if the vote of confidence gets through tonight how is how are they going to get that passed britain for instance its public service is being slashed its armed forces downsized cuts everywhere people there are happy our british taxpayer is going to feel about it as just one country but well you're absolutely right to two points at that i mean david cameron has been saying recently quite rightly no more bailout money
12:16 pm
through the new obviously we have an international duty through the i.m.f. the international monetary fund which will help or is involved in this extra bailout for greece that is different but through the cameras rule that out and i commend that as you rightly say the british taxpayer has been helping out even though we're not in the euro zone and never in the euro zone we are being forced to help it out and i have to say what's interesting what's different is we're now hearing from ministers in the x. foreign secretary actually predicting also refusing to rule out the fact that the euro may well collapse so this there's a final question she you know at the end of the day which of the two options would be the least painful for the greek people in your view tonight. i think they should go back to the drachma i think they need to get out the euro it is a prison for them and to recreate the drachma i know there are no plans at present
12:17 pm
to do that but of course they can't sort of plan to be until the euro actually i think is the salvation for greece and that's the way it really should go but obviously that's a matter for the greek people that will be decided tonight to become a valuable member of the european parliament thanks for being on the line from brussels on r.t. appreciate it thank you and that is financial guru moskos says the greeks are being fooled into paying off a debt they're not responsible for that impact up with more of his thoughts on the scandals behind the economic struggles in greece and seven thirty pm g.m.t. caraway the law as well as also streaming on a web site r t don't point. medical treatment as a lottery where less than half the patients live to see the cure that is the nightmare scenario facing parents of children with deadly hunter syndrome here in russia where extortionate costs and a lack of state support of snuffing out young lives i think for example boy curable
12:18 pm
. first match followed in february this year fourteen at variance with his birth certificate have. on his hearing was rapidly declining his vision of withdrawn he responded only to this strokes of his marbury to give it everything secure for me get on there's a heartbeat 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 a hard one he was absolutely an 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 he's body can't get rid of toxins it's extremely rare and extremely expensive to treat these without treatment doctors say he may
12:19 pm
soon die if we get the drug his body will be slowly clean stop the toxins alone you may be able to walk again and play and enjoy life like other kids sierra leone hospital though it was almost eight hundred thousand dollars beyond comprehension for you lana husband left the family with the first signs of the disease sheepish and old sorts of organisations it was a go to see the local authorities when in april they finally agreed to provide the money for the drug that 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. they waited weeks and months in early june a bogus health took a turn for the worst and he died never having seen the promised truck.
12:20 pm
most people agree that losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to a parent but he didn't assess if not the worst thing for her is to leave the rest of her life knowing that her child could have been saved that the treatment was there and given money. back tape or administrative procedures whatever you call it . was never given a chance. to say there was absolutely no way to speed things up their own region where you live and leave them in poverty is mostly agricultural province in central russia but what is treatment would have accounted for about a quarter of all how far. the treatment of this boy in military terms is equivalent to. 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
12:21 pm
and we expect the drug to be here by the end of june or it's already too late to how fellow into the air with even money see another little boy spirit kilometers to the south at least seventy year old who was also diagnosed conscious syndrome. a few years before the damage becomes. his parents believe she saved their son this state has to step in to the. family can deal with this disease and. real local authorities often refuse to cover this one thank. you. out of about two hundred fifty children to be interest in germany russia less than half are receiving medical treatment it's a postcode lottery available in reach or areas like moscow and almost unimaginable in poorer towns and that despite the fact that when it comes to this citizenship all supposed to be playing on this thing. aren't seeing.

tens of thousands of take in the streets across syria in support of the country and bashar al assad a day earlier sad addressed the nation promising political reform and a general amnesty for prisoners however leader gave no sign of stepping down it was just a public appearance of syria's president since the beginning on. president promise to announce the scale of the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan on wednesday the speed and size of the pull outs cause divisions with some of the military warning that undue haste would be dangerous are currently around one hundred thousand american the american troops in the country to draw all is the start makes one think in the clinton twenty fourteen when after forces take over security. we're 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 that reportedly killed twelve people only nine of them confirmed taliban fighters the growing number of civilian deaths means war angry
12:23 pm
locals are joining the militants and with the u.s. no telling its attention to yemen the uproar looks set to become even louder as we report. 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 from stress extremists 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 and who support
12:24 pm
governments or large ones when do say enough is enough most governments lie to each other that's the way business gets done in washington now sees yemen as the most dangerous all kind of 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 novel quite as already significant presence in yemen as the. u.s. had been cooperate ing with yemeni counterterrorism forces in targeting on 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 calling 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 in the arabian peninsula and then i think we'll 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 one attack theory the american military presumably evening at an all cried or training camp ended up killing dozens of women and children in another strike a year ago a drone mistakenly killed a deputy governor he stammered the end eight with the expansion of the wrong war it seems to go once the seeking only in the south the lighting all quiet and analysts say some of that may be terrorism this is all the case mark not having to take into account the use of the media and the paranormal and the lack of accountability when it comes to the city and that meter is that not buried on the last friday i'll see what the barricades body and possibly here at the same time i am going to check out . our. futures now sport in twenty five minutes time with the defending champion

12:27 pm
means increased foreign direct investment or flow of money and as soon as the mood overall turns in the market and there is 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 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 the impact it can play out on its economy so while the central bank maintains its policy of raising rights battle inside edition and oil stays relatively high on some of its profits russia probably shouldn't feel any more effect over and above what it's already. looking at the markets now starting with oil light sweet is up at just under ninety four dollars a barrel and brant is around one hundred twelve dollars a barrel. u.s.
