first. then we heard him on screaming his clothes were burning so i ran to my house . the flames. well of course is still very early stages initial theories investigators say that they are looking at all possible avenues of one of the statements made by the a local airport you can see where i am right now they said that they had a pilot to make a second tour but he said that he would make it the first time or so but but again these are all based on statements made by the black box itself will have to be decoded and that as we know of course takes us some time before the fischel state will be made. a commercial plane that would have landed on schedule ended up in pieces and in flames this double of one three four carrying fifty two people from moscow to better in northwestern russia crashed on a road around a kilometer from the runway narrowly 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 we were going to check the electric transformer when we heard the sound of a huge explosion we arrived at the scene of the accident the airplane was seriously damaged we could see its wing justing out of the bushes there were bodies scattered all around the field there were lots of them. where 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. i carry three people out of the wreckage one was either a girl or a woman i could not tell but she was larger than the mine was haunt to see was dark then there was a man he also was unhappy he was launching than 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 and everything started exploding i could not get any closer everything was engulfed by fire so very. among the eight survivors were a young boy his teenage sister and their mother five have 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. vesta gates. is 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 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 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 pull of one three four has proved an extremely reliable aircraft in previous catastrophes human error was always to playing 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 beth as avoids declaring three days of mourning tesser sylvia r.t.e.

in the russian region. the greek government has narrowly won a key vote of confidence around 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 go to secure a second e.u. bailout lifeline if the country's parliament economy has sarah for three ports this through widening divide between the government's vision and the would of the people . is considered by many to be the best place of democracy but increased now the whitening gap between the aims of the people and the government is preaching explains said. we are a mix of people that have no political dollars and we are all together to say that we cannot be and that vis present we are not called to. the measures measures that they take for us without us and we want to take out

a large buck demonstrations held on the central square now on a daily basis with some of the protests turning violent the protesters say the suffocating take ask nothing compared to the a sturdy measures that they fail a strangling their economy the people are being refused very right to judge what policies are going to be implemented upon them and of course the greek government is an accomplice to this loss of popular sovereignty i mean we're not we're not any more in the proper sense a sovereign country when the i.m.f. can dictate policy when the europeans when we used to be under european union and we are you may have the so-called troika can come and say listen these are great these are the measures you are going to implement you are going to implement them whether you like it or not we can say you know we were facing a very peculiar form of dictatorship by the european union the european central bank and the i.m.f.

they finance chiefs of desperate not to see the. first you a saying suffer in default and they're rising concerns about the crisis that could trigger throughout your i think very chance of a domino effect if. they are known for the fall and this is their problem and this is the reason why the europeans are helping greece but in fact we are hearing greece because they don't want this domino effect because they want to take all very short of british. sixteen percent of the quick work full sun employees western economic conditions here increased the euro is a dream it seems is a verb. one person who the people are worse off as were before over people were not there were uprising or there would be a lot of violence in the streets the people said that when they're turning out into the streets and then millions and the government continues to push ahead with the pace measures well then they danged have democracy anymore the government is trying

to govern but the people refuse to big government in this way every day that disconnect becomes more and more dangerous. about the reef. really a world away from what's been happening on the streets recently the question a lot of people have been asking is 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 the question a lot of people are now asking is really how much further does this guy. was on the streets of athens when bonnet protests hit the capital you can read all about the revolt starts playing golf in greece blog on it on our website at party dot com. greece is seeking twelve billion euro from the e.u. on the international monetary fund but european parliament member david campbell

bannerman and banning the euro is there any way the nation can survive. 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 cards for extra taxes greece is real trouble there's trouble in spain and ireland particularly i think it's in major trouble the euro and i have been saying for some time i do believe it will collapse. all show usually and probably quite shortly but to be honest i think you leave your is a political prism for for countries such as greece and and spain. to be liberated from that prison recreate their own currency 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 of prison for them. to recreate the i know there are no plans at present to do that

but of course they can't sort of. 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. also ahead this hostage to conflict as a number of civilian use continues to rise in libya something read the american government is now stuck in the conflict politically unable to withdraw from the campaign. and find out how a missing russian writer of instigating mass riots reappeared in the. tens of thousands of candles have been lit in the former soviet republics today to commemorate the twenty seven million people who died fighting against hitler's army on this day seventy years ago nazi troops invaded the soviet union machine the great patriotic war bloodiest regions history thousands in moscow now reaching for

i believe that if it was just the science or the technical side germany could very well have won it either in one nine hundred forty one on nine hundred forty two but it with love of the model it was this extraordinary determination to carry on fighting that the germans underestimated it was also. profound patcher to them that the red army recovered from the initial crisis realized it was a battle for survival and what was at stake was not just the communist system but russia as a country and the soviet union was in the boardroom and not and it really did become a lot it war 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 right army at the front here it would all be. that they underestimated the red army and they underestimated the soviet union.

and you can see the full interview with dr michael johns next hour here dottie. the u.s. is tightening financial sanctions on the libyan government there are calls in america to extend the nato but it's a campaign to as much as a yap involved in military intervention has caused dozens of civilian deaths academic historian lawrence davidson says the u.s. and nato have made themselves hostages to conflicts. what this calls into question is the original justification 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 with this level of munitions and not kill civilians so ok you're going to protect civilians by intervening with

a type of munitions that cannot avoid killing civilians and i'm think that nato and its commanders and the president and the politicians involved in this are beyond a 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 and they will project media stories to cover it. well there for all the latest news from the v.a. go to our website at r.t. dot com online right now and strike reportedly kills fifteen people as an explosion rocks the house of a topical don't think general joining his grandson's birthday party into scenes of devastation. no don bosco getaway car langan's in empty handed

a washing business out see with. money has been steadily flowing out of russia for the last nine months or risk aversion among global investors a new state backed investment fund is part of the effort to reverse that trend i think cars foreign capital to take a longer view of course want to nick paul caught up with the c.e.o. of the new fund at the st petersburg forum he started by asking him how the fund would work. as the basic idea behind the fund to spur investments because actual budget meets their chairman of michigan on bain myself and some other key people who traveled around the investors on 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 good partner because for many people that will be their first investment the russians if you have a partner 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 thus while you look at the broad a purpose of this fund 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 fed but everybody agrees that the resists perception gap that basically investors think it's more difficult and more risky to invest in russia as an actual it is so defunct it will be a partner in that they need the partner at the field look comfortable make an investment and it's very similar for example if you invest in a rig in china you know would you invest on your own would you like the part that was the chinese fund so we're just making it easier to find a partner and we share the risk because russian state will before investing as 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 clone to be fixed fonts legs this

funds that invest a lot in domestic economy exist in many countries and it's very important because many conference france some 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 is ten billion dollars going to be enough while first of all been all going to get ten billion up from it 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 to manage just two hundred fifty billion dollars to management so that small bills the largest one to the world but for what it is designed to do which is to bring international best risk into russia we believe that it will really a war going to be sufficient amount of money to showcase forty very successful investment examples over the next my seven years. belew says yet another deadline before moscow pulls the lever on those just the supplies that the country completely has to pay the bill and so on next monday the outstanding debt amounts
