the human factor such as an air of the crew or the ground services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes of this is a twenty eighth crash involving a tuple of one three four tarnishing its reputation even more in two thousand and seven russia's transport minister called the aircraft obsolete and should be replaced within five years but some would argue that in most plane crashes human error place the biggest part of the name was of which i don't think anything would go wrong with the plane itself in forty years of operation that you bill of one three four has proved an extremely reliable aircraft in previous catastrophes human error was always to blame the same is true here the pilot should have made a second landing approach this is exactly what happened to the polish presidential airplane while investigators work on the case relatives of the victims and survivors are dealing with their own grief one shared by the people. beth says

avoids declaring three days of mourning tesser celia r t in the russian region and sticking with the story our two talked to captain mark weiss a former american airlines pilot who says the major question now is if the plane had the necessary warning equipment certainly one of the things we have to find out was whether this aircraft was in fact. did it have on board ground proximity warning which would have alerted the pilot that his closure rate to the ground or his distance from the ground was either too close or too fast for the appropriate position on the phase of flight that's the landing phase the flight it would say terrain terrain to lopo up various types warning systems like that on aircraft libyan government officials have accused nato of killing fifteen people including three children in an airstrike west of tripoli if the allegations prove

to be true it would be the second attack of causing civilian deaths in the space of twenty four hours artie's maria financial reports from tripoli. and now the 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 the parents as strike. rescuers have discovered the remains of fifteen people according to libyan officials. but it was you know. the house 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 years ago the general escaped injury but most of his family died in the attack. because. this man is talking about the little one of the grandchildren of the general and one of three kids killed in the
10:05 pm
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 were children are better there is still the mothers nurture the girls. it's. the number is fifteen people nato has denied these claims just as it's never debated 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 i can buy the alliance which blamed a mistake technical failure 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
10:06 pm
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 to the voices of the libyan people was and it seems that the more anger they feel about nato the more they supported. that believe that that's how this is because seventy wasn't rising prices that you were. right in the to the march it's. best to do that mean that people can stay in the united states is that this money that
10:07 pm
was kept out i gotta. keep. the was. we will go on to the live our message to all and not to leave to step up on being god attacking media what is the more indeed dying. race notion or ati really. the u.s. and nato have become prisoners of the situation in libya that's the view of professor lawrence davidson from westchester university in pennsylvania the queen the queen is that think that nato and its commanders and the president and the politicians involved in this are beyond the point of no return so they simply cannot stop in terms of their own mind what they've invested in this and therefore they will end up doing whatever is necessary to secure victory in libya
10:08 pm
and they will project media stories to cover it. and it's not just in libya where foreign intervention is it 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 it could be fueling it. and the newest safety hopes for russian aviation the latest aircraft designed to make pilot error a thing of the past takes to the skies of the largest air show in the world. the greek government has won a crucial vote of confidence in parliament the new finance minister will now seek to push through harsh austerity measures against fierce public opposition in return for another e.u. i.m.f. bailout to prevent the country from defaulting on its loans the vote also puts the country a step closer to reviving an existing twelve billion euro lifeline from the e.u.
10:09 pm
parliament's decision it was greeted with more violence on the streets of athens with riot police firing tear gas and stun grenades and angry protesters british conservative european parliament member david campbell bannerman said before the vote that outcome would have little impact on the euro project future the question now is all we throwing good money after they know how many billions can you throw at this you know the tolerance all the people for carts for extra taxes as we see it in greece there's real trouble with there's trouble in spain and all and particularly i think it's in major trouble the euro and i have been saying for some time i do believe it will collapse either in thoughtful hastily and probably quite shortly now but to be honest i think you leave your is a political prism for for countries such as greece and spain and they need to be liberated from that prison recreate their own currencies have devaluation make their exports cheaper make it easier for tourists to visit their countries and
10:10 pm
they'll get back on their feet 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 to do that but of course they can't sort of plan for found be until you are actually fails i think that is the salvation for greece and that's the way it really should go but obviously that's a matter for the greek people the government still has the people's fury to contend with and that's according to sotirios the o.t.s. lecturer at the university of the g.m. . the whole austerity package that had been implemented for at least a year has aggravated this crisis and that's why we are now facing this uprising it's a sort of a popular insurrection right now and it will have entered a phase of political crisis but actually the people are demanding these are how the
10:11 pm
collection first of all people say they do not want to pay these debts i think the first step the first step to make things better would actually be add this season from the greek to for for for an immediate stoppage of debt payments we cannot afford this debt anymore this is this is some sort of an ideological blackmail. to payments to the debt or even a new mint of that does not mean that the cancer is being cattle from the rest of the world or the country is going to be bankrupt the problem is we cannot do it we are giving twelve billion lifeline. the biggest part of which is going to be used to repay debt to repay previous dates this is totally absurd. the candle of memory campaigning commemorating the seventieth anniversary of a nazi germany's attack on the soviet union has started in russia and abroad millions of russians place burning candles on their window sills at war memorials
10:12 pm
and cemeteries in remembrance of those killed while defending their homeland and its people the ceremony is widely observed with the memory of those terrible times passed on from generation to generation commemorative events are being held also across countries which were once a part of the u.s.s.r. more than twenty six million soviet citizens were killed in world war two with almost every family in russia losing someone. the growing number of civilian fatalities from u.s. drone attacks has sparked fury in pakistan afghan. stan and across the arab world almost forty attacks this year in pakistan alone have killed over three hundred people but despite the public anger in the muslim world the u.s. is now planning to increase the use of the remote controlled weapon to volatile yemen in its war against al qaeda kind of shit you can comments. the u.s. is looking to expand its war on terror but its methods are under fire in pakistan
10:13 pm
in the one year the cia drone strikes killed seven hundred civilians but netted only five actual militant leaders of the of germs in pakistan in the number of civilian casualties that result because of the drone strikes. straightness like the taliban and al qaeda and other groups in pakistan to recruit new members and they're doing their. salary base 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 often do we support governments or large ones when we say enough is enough most governments lie to each other and so a business gets done in washington now sees yemen as the most dangerous outpost and he's planning to step up drone attacks on the country as stablish ing
10:14 pm
a base in the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when bin laden's work placement i'm on also ari is not to be building obl quite as already significant presence in yemen. the us had been cooperated 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 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 members of 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 their security. yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in one attack there the american military presumably ming at an al qaida training
10:15 pm
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 it seems to go once the seeking only a misnomer legally binding on the client or analysts say some of them may be in terms of this new role the phrase smart not having to take into account the force of the nation the pair of bombings and the lack of accountability when it comes to the community that features that more paradox the web strategy let me ask you what that america is fighting and fostering terror at the same time i am going to check our reporting. marley's eric margolis american a columnist and war correspondent says the u.s. uses drones because they're cheap and don't endanger the lives of american military personnel. it's a cheap way to fight those and in danger any american lives it's popular on capitol
10:16 pm
hill because it appears to be having success and the military has got to come up with something or cia saying you know we're we're killing militants it's the old body count list but there's and there's a danger here and that is american intelligence professionals have been rightly saying for some time that is the cia becomes more and more militarized it is losing its primary mission which is to provide intelligence and information on an unbiased basis there are thought given killing a small number of alleged militants they are a fact of in their rage in a large number of people you know the attacks on yemen have a been going on for over a year they're going to accelerate the attacks on pakistan which have been going on for years and i know this having written for the pakistani press. about ninety ninety three percent of the victims of these attacks were. innocent civilians the

labor show is underway outside paris with playmakers showing off their best on the aviation cab walk russia's new sue hoist superjet is among them and is the star of the country's fleet on display or he has more from paris. in the forty ninth paris air show russians were all the putting on display its newest development in civil aviation design and that is the same with one hundred the super boid design since designing them the judge has a right to receive numerous offers for that but the primary goal for this craft is to be going most of the deed it to you wanted to do you want thirty floors just like the one which fell in korea on monday that is the hope of russian and of course the designers of this equipment present are saying that the plane's design has its particular focus on the security systems all the controls so in the.
10:18 pm
violence we've been making the air with so it's kind of kicked in the air that could be made by a pilot therefore making the plane a much safer alternative to the already existing aircraft that was. reporting there up next we'll look at the state of the stalled israeli palestinian peace process in our interview with the former israeli ambassador to the u.s. . thank you. not only. with me i have professor governess and they have the former israeli ambassador to
10:19 pm
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 recall what they said this is the united states because they are on considerations in the we should not act as if the victoria is in our pocket i think we should not trust the united states to report 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 war there is an election that he wants to win you know every politician is interest in continuing to give the way but i i think obama really wants peace in the world and especially in this region which affects the way in the middle east in the wall of the world in
10:20 pm
a way so i believe there's clearly obama's first of all concerned with the wind being and we're doing of his own people but he's also on interest the continuing their missions in the visual the it took upon him so when he took or would you say that the relationship between the united states and israel is colder than it's ever been before oaths. without the united states we would be in a much more difficult position not only because of the veto but because of the support that we get from them. i think the relationship it's not only on the political level it's also cultural and ideological. they know that we are so far the only or the most important democracy in the middle east do you not think a bomber has lost credibility in the arab world there was so much hope when he came to power and he certainly seems to have remained a very close friend of israel as you say i think that. the palestinians put
10:21 pm
a lot of hope in obama in the obama administration to be the honest broker. i think they still see this way just this morning we were announced the. obama administration made it very clear that they are going to veto in the security council in the quest to become a full members of the will of the nation so i know that they trust the obama at the moment in trying to achieve peace in the region in a they know that he is trying to perceive himself as an honest broker is there the possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize that mission of the palestinian state was already announced the 1980's. and the think different so this can happen again and again we're not getting anything to the palestinians what
10:22 pm
can what it can achieve is the continuation of the delegitimization of the state of israel and this is something that i think can be avoided only through bilateral talks do you have faith that netanyahu is serious about peace i hear first from him because for the last two years when i served my country is the israeli ambassador to the. nations a saw a watch very clearly not only what is said in the by the land. first speech which was two states for two countries but also the way that he acted in freezing for ten months building in the settlements which no current no government ever before why then do we hear so much about settlement building taking place despite the construction freeze there was not a continuation of the building in those ten months but in those ten months what happened was the palestinians they don't move in spite of the fact the the free
10:23 pm
there was a freeze which never happened before there were no buildings except maybe some place for expansion and still nothing happened so it's not us to blame it's the palestinians who did not move for those. a whole year and they know peace talks took place in they also think the americans also did their part in making the palestinian sit on their hands abu mazin said it in so many words he said the obama put us on a tree he went down from the settlements you know the only resistance resisting only stopping all freezing the building and i was left on the tree this is what i was a. song with the phrase did not happen in the fall the last two years or even move since gas liberation we did not have any peace talks the u.s. president barack obama has publicly committed the united states to peace based on the nine hundred sixty seven borders what is the benefit to him of sameness in
10:24 pm
public you know the obama administration unlike former administration is very much engaging with the world with the muslim world which is the african and say i could see the way that the obama as a. representative in a bus of the. the lies the way the cheek acts at the united nations the way that she takes the way the cheek embraces the way that she engages in stay with me a want to be an honest broker in the middle east the not to people saved as the world for so many ills is being one sided and supporting only when i think this is his idea in the new way this is what form will said this is when but he made it very very clear that this will be the basis for the coming peace talks are thank you very much for joining us here on auti.

a deeply divided parliament with a margin of just four with thousands currently demonstrating in angry protests outside the building this decision opens the path for new austerity cuts for another new i.m.f. bailout loan but is it likely to face continued public opposition. and up next the kaiser report asking just what mountains of debt can do for national self-esteem and explains the mysterious role of credit default swaps. max kaiser welcome to the kaiser report as we have been reporting financial melt through may the world on an avid a ball for capital and so now we live in a financial no. you are slaves of the toxic debt that have been created
