there with world news twenty four hours a day this is r.t. the flight recorders from the airplane that crashed in northwestern russia on monday have been brought to moscow to shed light on what caused the tragedy forty four people on board one three four jets were killed when the plane landed on a highway just a few hundred meters from the runway the aircraft was making a regular flight from moscow to which was a russian's mechanical corolla eight people including a ten year old boy and possible simple injuries our correspondent tess are syria is in the city of perth as of odds joining us live in a few minutes time here. the greek government has announced one key vote of confidence in the prime minister to continue his fight for more cuts parliament and now has to decide whether to impose austerity measures with billions

of euros were to secure a second e.u. bailout and lifeline for countries paralyzed economy as sarah firth reports there's an ever widening divide between the government's version and the bill of the people . it's considered by many to be the best place if democracy can increase now whitening the gap between the people and the government is treating explained. we are a mix of people of not political dollars and we are here all together to say that we cannot be on the vice president we are not called. the measures we can on the measures that they take for us without us and we want to take on large bug demonstrations held in the central square now and it daily basis with some of the protests turning violent the place has to say the suffocating take as nothing compared to a stage the measures that they fail strangling their economy the people are being

refused very right to judge what policies are going to be implemented. and of course the greek government is an accomplice to this of popular sovereignty i mean we're not we're not anymore in the proper sense a sovereign country when we are your birth country space policy will be european when we disobey and the european union under your troika can come and say listen these are these are the measures you're going to implement you are going to implement rather. we can see you know we're facing a very peculiar food. by the european union the european central bank and the. finance chiefs a desperate not to see the first year raising suffering default and they're rising concerns about the crisis can trigger through. our fingers or terms of a domino effect. if greece. announcer before.

this is their problem and this is the reason why the europeans are helping greece but in fact we are helping greece because they don't want this domino effect and because they want to take hold very short of greece. sixteen percent of the greek what full sun influenced western economic conditions here increased the year is a dream it seems safe. one person who are worse off i was were before over. there were uprising or there would be a lot of violence in the streets people said that when turning out into the streets and then millions and the government continues to push ahead with the pace measures when they think they have to not kristie anymore the government is trying to grab. the big government in this way every day that disconnect becomes more and more dangerous business a peaceful care about the reef in athens really

a world away from what's been happening on the streets recently the question a lot of people you know asking just when will greece reach boiling point lenny when he was on the streets of athens to witness the violence that is already past that point because a lot of people are now asking is really how much further does this guy. on the streets of athens when a violent protests hit the capital you can read all about the revolt go from greece on her blog and that's what i website right. now greece is seeking twelve million euro from the e.u. and the international monetary fund but european parliament member david campbell bannerman. anyway the nation can survive. the question now is are we throwing good money after money you know how many billions can you throw

at this you know the tolerance of the people for carts for extra taxes as we see in greece there's real trouble with there's trouble in spain and ireland particularly i think it's in major trouble the euro and as i've been saying for some time i do believe it will collapse either implausible totally. and probably quite shortly but to be honest i think you leave your is a political prism for the country structures greece and spain and they need to be liberated from their prison recreate their own currencies have devaluation make their exports cheaper make it easier for tourists to visit their countries and 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 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. well so the head of this hostage conflict. governments invested so much into the war in libya some believe victory is the only acceptable end to the campaign. and find out how a missing russian writer used to getting that's right we're here in jail. tens of thousands of candles have former soviet republics today to commemorate the twenty seven million people who died fighting against me on this day seventy years ago troops invaded the soviet union the things. bloodiest in history thousands in moscow. the ceremony was also held a rest which brought the first. that's not since deployed on the

radio. or on the breast fortress. resistance. is best. known these days seventy years. of the. work makes you don't want to see that. done so that's what you can also. see. though it's not. something. that is a living room of the rubbish it's not it's not about her it's not knowing how soon he. was helping them to do the things that. the soviet like actually more but it was so most poignant.

to me to six much of the big sweep in the south the. resistance which holds out the weakness of thousand people managed to leave the church it was most of them were killed some. of. the phone book was. she won those soccer fields had been suggest that isolated resistance was an accountant even. if she's not the one with the knife on the full time but i want to run into knots. it's the fall back seventy years since germany's invasion of the soviet union the leading british historian dr michael jones tells our take it was the great patrick isn't of the same people that helped win the war. i believe the science or the technical side germany could very well have want to either

a nine hundred forty one or nine hundred forty two but it with love of the not allowed to see some extraordinary determination to carry on fighting the germans underestimated it was the churches and profound patcher to them that the red army recovered from the initial crisis realized it was a powerful force of arrival and what was that was not just the communist system but russia as a country and the soviet union was in a boardroom and it really did become a part she wrote it was the germans they were carried away by their own successes their previous successes blitzkrieg the lightning war and they believe that if they hammered the red army at the front here it would all be. but they are underestimated the red army and they underestimated the soviet union and. you can see the full interview with dr markel trains in twenty minutes here. but

not to our top story now the black boxes of the airplane that crashed in the russian republic of korea killing forty four people being decapitated in moscow eight survivors remain in hospital fighting for their lives. the site of the disaster for haiti and we'll talk about the investigation and the human cost a terrible time for relatives. that's right to carry the family says the survivors as well as the victims are making their way and go are going to be making their way to where there are family members are there but they've been flooded with. help psychological help that is if they should need it and also here at the site of the crash site itself has been the cleaned up the identification of the bodies continue we are told that several have already been identified but there have still been a lot of body parts recovered late last night for of the wreckage that we still

have to identify part of a number of bodies now three of the a survivors are still a local hospital while a fire that have been afloat to a moscow now the family members we are expecting them to come today there is supposed to be a plane to take them to but there is a void the explain be a bit of a delay this accident happened monday night so they say that most of the families don't actually live in moscow they live in a region surrounded moscow now the locals here are also dealing with their own grief and shock i would say they've been coming here until late last night bringing flowers to decide after all it was the witnesses the locals living right by the road where the plane had crashed that had been a first at the scene. your room would you would call it the shame to move we first told you. then we heard a man screaming. around my house. but

we've been talking to some of those people who were living in the houses right next to the crash site even the amana living in the house where the plane actually had landed and for most of them what really haunts them is the memory of people crying for help they do believe that there were more people alive when the plane had crashed because of explosions that followed the initial one and only eight has managed to survive the accident but it's a search turning to the investigation one of the main theories. of course is still very early stages initial theories. these are all mainly based on a statement that had been given a by airport authorities by the ground control software investigators say that they are looking at all possible avenues of one of the statements made by via local airport and you can see where i am right now they said that they had asked the pilot to make the second turn but he said that he would make it the first time so

but but again these are all based on the statements made by the black box itself will have to be decoded at that as we know of course takes us some time before the official say it will be made so messy gaiters don't want to was stick to one theory they're looking at several possibilities and this will come in time. a commercial plane that would have landed on schedule ended up in pieces and inflames this tuple of one three four carrying fifty two people from moscow think that there's a good northwestern russia crash on a road around a kilometer from the runway now really missing a row of houses and killing forty four on board airport officials say the plane hit a high voltage power line that cut off lights on the runway which also knocked out the town's electricity. at around midnight the lights went off in our house check the electric transformer we heard the sound of a huge explosion we arrived at the scene of the accident seriously damage we could

see. in the bushes scattered around the field lots of. we're here at the side with a total of one three four crash landed on a road and as you can see behind me there's a lifting parts of the plane the man living here was first on the scene because the plane had landed right in front of his home. three people on the wreckage. was launched and then the man was conscious he was dong and then there was a man he also wasn't happy it was launched. and then carried out two more people from the right beach in the middle of the road another man reached out his hand towards me but i couldn't. everything started exploding i could not get any closer everything was engulfed by fire story. among the eight survivors were a young boy his teenage sister and their mother five had been flown to moscow for medical treatment initial reports point to human error and bad weather conditions

at the time as possible causes of the crash ground staff at the local airport claimed they had asked the pilot to make a second approach but he said he'd make it the first time however investigators say there are several theories and nothing has been ruled out just yet so arson 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 and these include the human factor such as an air of the crew or the ground services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes this is the 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 placed the biggest part of any more than which i don't think anything would go wrong with the plane itself in forty years of operation the triple of one three four has proved an 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 while investigators work on the case relatives of the victims and survivors are dealing with their own grief one shared by the people of both those avoids declaring three days of mourning just are still here r t in the russian karelia region. the u.s. is tightening financial sanctions on the libyan government there are calls in about the extended nato military plan to paint as much as a year meanwhile the military intervention has caused dozens of civilian deaths lawrence a good source says the u.s. and great tale of how they themselves hospitals to complete. what is cause into

question is the original just the pick a nation for american intervention which was humanitarian my own personal opinion is that that was always a just a media story for our domestic consumption you cannot intervene anywhere in this level of munitions and not kill civilians so ok you're going to protect civilians by intervening with the type of munitions that cannot avoid killing civilians i don't 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 quite paid invested in this and therefore they will end up doing whatever is necessary to secure victory in

libya and they will project media stories to cover it. well there are all the latest news from that and go to our website that starting at dot com. say a nato airstrike reportedly kills fifteen people wanted scenes of devastation. and it's the. general. also annoyed no gun law school getaway car and wonders in empty handed us bank saying prison is his only chance to get health care for more. russian writer. disappeared over almost a week ago has turned up in jail and all three suspected of organizing mass protests in two thousand and nine against the results of the country's pointed to three elections he's covering the story. written off russian writer who had by june of was last seen on june sixteenth in the moldovan capital kisha now. a

week later it's turned out that he had been detained by local authorities for allegedly masterminding public riots in april two thousand and nine and then thousands of unhappy moldovans took to the streets protesting the results of the country's parliamentary elections opposition leaders accused the ruling communist party of falsifying votes by get himself frequently stated that he was in fact one of the organizers of the unrest but until now not many people took him seriously at the moment i knew he was there when the riots with taking place he doesn't deny that fact there anything but as far as organizing the riots were taking part in any kind of commotions that's ridiculous the unique kind of action he would have gotten involved would have been with the ladies not the police. not the open authorities however took him very seriously so seriously the issued an order for his arrest and even though he will officially remain behind bars for

another month now many officials in question no are willing to admit the fact let alone talk about it but one bills that is being arrested by the prosecutors his warrant was issued by the prosecutors and it's the prosecutor's office that should be on stream questions about him which is providing the cell where he's being held and prosecutors however aren't keen on admitting that responsibility in fact they're trying to avoid admitting anything at all when you don't have you know don't even prosecutor general's office does not confirm nor deny the arrest of mr buy gear of those attempted stonewalling would have been effective at the russian consulate staff not gone and visited the men in prison would be quinces on the twenty first of june consular employees from the russian embassy muldoon's or visited with here if he did not. any complaints about his living conditions or the way the investigation was going so he's using the services of

a fly private live in the lawyers currently an investigation is being carried out by muldoon the third it's in accordance with a court decision he'll be held for thirty days the embassy is money story in a situation. i don't like it of the tension could have been completely routine legal process but the very fact that moldova an authority are still refusing to part with any coherent and for nation concerning the case is definitely not doing them any favors and it's showcasing of the prosecutor's office and of their e. unfortunate white. catherine as are the artsy moscow. at such icons and other international headlines for you now. in mexico police have arrested the alleged leader of one of the country's top drug gangs who was in office and someone. else and then there's that monkey taking control of the media. let's say the last year second president felipe calderon praised the capture of the great knowing danced

in just a few minutes we talked to a british historian about nazi germany's asia the soviet union seventy years ago why he failed. to mention. very scary hello and a warm welcome to business but he has been steadily flowing out of russia for the last nine months due to risk aversion among global investors and you state backed investment plan as part of the effort to reverse that trend and encourage foreign capital to take a longer view of course want to look cool caught up with the c.e.o. of the new fund. the st petersburg economic forum he started by asking him how the fund would work. there's a basic idea behind the plan to spur investment because actual budget means your chairman of michigan on bass myself and some of the key people who travelled around

the investors of the world and we asked them how would you invest much more into the russian economy and basically they said that they would like to invest more but they need to have a partner because so many people have been there for a specimen for russia even if they come apart so we're investment is a basic ideas of funds we'll invest in projects but it can invest in projects only if at least the same amount of money is going vested by the leading international investor in the project that's what he wants the broad the purpose of this from what is it to achieve i think. many investors feel that there is sort of a perception gap between real risk situation in russia and how some investors perceive it and you know we can go into the history of it but everybody agrees that the resists perception gap but basically investors think it's more difficult and more risk to put invest in russia as an actual it is so there will be a partner and that they need the partner to feel more comfortable making investment

and it's very similar for example if you invest in the rig in china you know would you invest on your own would you like to partner was a chinese thought so we're just making it easier to find a partner and we share the risk because russian state will deploy investment was those investors why should a guarantee be necessary isn't the kind of admission that there is a genuine interest that there are problems that clones be fixed funds like exist funds that invest a lot in domestic economy exist in many countries and it's very important because many conference france and pretty much all of the countries they want money to be invested inside if they want to make sure that instead companies grow inside so it's not something incredibly unique that we have doing this ten billion dollars going to be enough well first of all been a good to get ten billion the front you're going to get two billion each year for the next five years and we believe it's. a good way to start chinese investment corporation because three hundred billion dollars demanded. a hundred fifty billion dollars to management so that small bills the largest bank in the world but for

those designed to do which is to bring international best risk into russia we believe that it will really wore going to sufficient amount of money to showcase thirty or forty very successful investment examples over the next my seven years. bellow ruses yet another deadline before most who pulls the lever on that existing supplies to the country completely has to pay the bill and so on next monday the outstanding that amounts to just fifty million dollars. but some say it was trying to beef up its leverage over the cast strapped the russian economy and says it's the konami crisis that has stopped the mess and promises to set. let's move to the markets and we start with world traditionally and world prices are trading mixed with light sweet losing around fifty dollars a barrel well fifty cents a barrel rather well brant is lose it is gaining twenty six cents there's no single trend on the market despite positive developments in the euro zone that situation

it's up to the greek government want to keep confidence vote on tuesday and investors in asia gaining more confidence like greece will avoid them going to default because up one point four percent on the fourth and sometimes hong kong listed exporter lee and from the limited games six percent most of its clients are in europe but su securities is up two point eight percent and so. here in moscow markets will open in around two hours time where you're seeing there is tuesday's closing picture of the r.c.s. i might say it's gaining well three quarters of a percent in point six percent respectively driven by a rebound in crude prices. and we will have more nextel in around fifteen minutes and i'll be here with an update stay with us for that a lot. more
