a public his interest so his family definitely go through an emotional time now it will be a tough day for their families because they have the task by identifying the bodies at the border and also we have spoken to some of those who were first at the scene and they were telling us about what they had seen where the plane had crashed bodies body parts and bodies all over the place let's hear from one of the witnesses about what you have experienced. first. and we heard him on screaming his trolls were warning signs around my house the truckers. the flames. well it's still very early stages to come up with one as the of the investigators are still working on the place but they have had some initial theories based on physical evidence as you can see behind me this is the forest where the plane had gone through its path going to the airport so it had really burned out the floors also knocked out

a power line and there were statements made by airport authorities about what could have happened several theories are being explored and of course the flight recorder will be essential to this investigation 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 was a good north western russia crashed on a road around a kilometer from the runway airport officials say the plane hit a high voltage power line that cut off lights on the runway which also knocked out the tiles electricity. and around midnight the lights went off you know how we're going to check the electric transformer that we heard the sound of a huge explosion when we arrived at the scene appears to be your claim seriously damage we can see as we just you know bush years it would be scattered around the field. i carried three people out of the wreckage long was either a girl or a woman i could not sell which was launched to them. to see it was dark and there

was a man or girl and also i wasn't happy it was not so the name and then we carried out to mull people from the wreckage in the middle of the road not a man reached out his hand but i couldn't make it to know everything still subjects and i was saying i should know. everything was going to go i thought so very. initial reports point to human error and bad weather conditions at the time as possible causes of the crash ground stop 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. we're looking into several versions of what caused the tragedy these include the human factor such as an air of the crew or the ground service it's a weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes but some would argue that in most plane crash

a human error plays the biggest part. of the bridge i don't think anything would go wrong with the plane itself in forty years of operation the triple zero one three four has proved to be extremely reliable aircraft in previous catastrophes human error was always to blame at the same is true. the pilot should have made a second landing approach this is exactly what happened to the polish presidential airplane while the investigators work on the case relatives of the victims and survivors are dealing with their own grief was shared by the people of because of what's declaring the days of mourning. artsy in the russian region. at least five special forces officers have been killed and twelve others wounded during an anti terror operation in russia's volatile north caucasus region a hideout in the russian republic of there were some thirty militants are believed to be stationed has been under heavy artillery shelling with tanks and helicopters in action fierce fighting broke out when insurgents attempted to break through the

surrounding russian units there are reports of several military casualties. still ahead for you here in r t stripping millions of people of their privacy and only name fighting terror were reported on us our first to keep information on all transatlantic passengers from the e.u. for fifteen years partnoy is have slammed a proposed deal illegal. to greece now where the prime minister has won a crucial part of the mentoring vote of confidence on handling the country's debt crisis he must now navigate the nation through a series of tough spending cuts and sales of national assets in order to secure a new e.u. bailout and avoid a default because our teeth are first reports for the millions of anxious greeks who feel their voices are going on heard the future has never looked so bleak. is considered by many see the place of democracy increase now waiting the gap

between the people and the government is preaching explicit. we are a mix of people. of political loves. that you say. we cannot be and. we're going to call. the measures. they put us. and we won't get the bug demonstrations held on the central square now in a daily basis with some of the protests turning violent. the case has to say the suffocating take as nothing can take the stage the measures that they fail strangling their economy the people are being refused their rights 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 one of anymore in the

proper sense a sovereign country when the i.m.f. can dictate policy when the europeans and the european union under the so-called troika can come and say listen these are these are the measures you're going to implement you're going to implement them rather like italy or we can say in a way we're facing a very peculiar form. by the european union the european central bank and the. great finance chiefs of desperate not to see the first year raising suffering defaults and their advice and consent about the crisis can trigger. i think very chance of a domino effect if if greece. announcer default and this is their problem and this is very reason why the europeans are helping greece but in fact they are helping greece because they don't want this domino effect and because they want to take all very shortly for greece from the sixteenth century

the queen what full sun influenced western economic conditions even queen sixty year is a dream it seems and say. if the government want to listen to the people or worse we are friends will be full of are people not there were uprising or there would be a lot of violence in the streets people said the bandits turning out since the streets in the millions and the government continues to push ahead with the face measures when they didn't have to kristie any more. the government is trying to grow but the people refuse to be governed in this way every day that disconnect becomes more and more dangerous mistake kiesel of head of the reef top's and nothing's really a world away from what's been happening on the streets recently the question a lot of people have been all skiing is just when will greece reach boiling point lenny when he was on the streets of athens to witness the violence will know that it's already passed the toilets the question

a lot of people are now all skiing is really how much further does this guy. say things. well archie sara furthur witnessed the violence on the streets of the greek capital for herself if you want to read about current account of the situation in the country because there are walk section at our t.v. dot com also there. is the end of an era as legendary media personality climbed back bids farewell to fox news channel and launches his own pay tribute online that work. lawyers for the european commission claim a proposed deal between the us and the e.u. allowing america to store the personal data of millions of transatlantic passengers is even legal that's according to

a report in the u.k.'s guardian newspaper the us wants access to credit card details phone numbers and home addresses of european passengers as part of its anti terror networks let's talk more on this deal we're now into on line from brussels by dr batten who's a member of the european parliament for the u.k. independence party thanks for joining us this afternoon the european commission lawyers say the agreement is illegal what do you think well the lawyers are called on that point but it certainly seems to me to be disproportionate just disproportionate and intrusive in the amount of information that they actually want on travellers and it could well be illegal especially under existing data protection legislation not clear about the fourth when speaking on this subject in the parliament they want the more most amount of information about people their personal details credit cards travelling companions even but bizarrely they say that they won't categorize information in terms of political philosophical or religious beliefs but it would seem to me that one criteria that would help you to

find terrorists who might be planning to blow up an airplane or an airport would be . on the basis of political religious or philosophical belief that seems rather odd to me now i understand under this agreement the us will get to keep the data you citizens for fifteen years what does the e.u. e.u. get out of the us air do you think to offer the same kind of information. well this is this is always the question everything with the us seems to be a one way street the same with our extradition treaty with the us in the u.k. they can take our citizens. very easily but we can do the same thing against them they're protected by their own courts in terms of this information the americans get to keep it for fifteen years my understanding of this directive is that the member states will only get it to keep it for five years and i think it's bad enough having your own big brother state created in the european union without have been subjugated to an american big brother state as well by the same method how

effective do you think this agreement will be in fighting terrorism and illegal immigration well we're always told that these things are done to protect us from you know terrorism and organized crime while it has become we all want to be protected from that of course we do and we have to have proportional laws in order to do that but i think these things should be reached by international agreements so that everybody cooperates truly cooperates rather than is forced to do it. and you know we all agree through our democratic governments what my party doesn't want is another e.u. directive because we don't believe in the e.u. we don't believe in the legislation has any legitimacy anyway because it's not democratic and of course all this is being negotiated with the u.s. australia and canada by a commission a mile strong our own government won't know what comes out of the legislative sausage machine until we actually get to vote on it here so we you know it's one of the many many other areas of policy where the british government no longer has any

influence or sigh over what happens. some say that the deal could threaten the liberties are ordinary people of course that's understandable as we're looking at the deal but what do you think that passenger down there could be used for. the problem with all this data and this is going to be very extensive it's going to be as we said earlier names addresses credit card details who you were travelling with we know this information is never secure because the british government has lost. you know it we've had farcical examples in the u.k. where people have left vast amounts of information on laptops and on c.d.'s in the backs of taxis and it's gone missing it's gone missing in the post information is hacked into and stolen we know it's not secure it never is so whatever i say about that we know we can't rely on that so i think if you're going to connect and collect information it should only be where necessary and there should be very stringent safeguards for actually protecting it and severe penalties on those who leak it all steal it. but as i say this should be done by international agreements

by countries around the world because we're all in the same boat regarding terrorism and organized crime so we should all be cooperating together. five of the doing this on its own you know as part of its own legislative machine and the us i get in a special below which the rest of us don't get but people i mean use their credit cards all the time over the internet and there's lots of private information available there isn't it better to give out that information and feel protected. well of course this is very everybody's very vulnerable on this we all pay for things only internet we credit cards and people can get into severe difficulties with the law when they find out their credit card details have been taken by criminals and used for something else this is why has to be very carefully regulated and we have to be protected we know we have to be protected the question is is a lot of this stuff being done in the name of terror preventing terrorism and organized crime in order for governments and the e.u. considers itself to be a government whatever it might say in all it have more information and control over

its citizens i think the citizens have to be very resistant to the development of the big brother state whether it be the all the us or russia or anywhere else. that member of the european parliament for the u.k. independence party thanks for that thank you very much. let's take a look at some world news in brief for you this hour at least forty al qaeda militants managed to escape from a jail in yemen after insurgents attacked the prison from outside they targeted security guards and seize their weapons killing at least one officer the gel is believed to house more than one hundred key al qaeda members among those who broke out were prisoners convicted on terror charges months of on danced in yemen have led to fears it was growing influence. syria has poured scorn on e.u. moves to impose sanctions saying it will simply forget europe is on the naacp a violent crackdown against anti-government activists in the country has left hundreds dead since the uprising began in march after start calling for president

political elite raid restavec you will be unknown soldier i've become involved president very distrusting important to keeping the memory of the war alive making sure it doesn't fade with time and in battle groups a special ceremony was held at the brass fortress which witnessed the first major battle between soviet and nazi forces the garrison staged a hopeless defense against overwhelming odds sacrificing their lives to slow the enemy's advance because they didn't catch over is there for. being here inside the prettiest fortress on these days seventy years after the start of the great paschal war makes you not only see the visual damage to the citadel of the forefront of that war you can also feel the human coast of those terrible times dance from the walls of the fortress maybe you cannot see clearly behind that smoke is a living reminder about just the roches night thousands of people were buried alive

on these four square kilometers on the night of the twenty second of june nineteenth force you want to hear also but love's behind several inscriptions like the gun on a wall i'm dying but i want somebody we're not even all of us each a few rounds fewer witnesses all the first day of the war and the horror of speech after here is the story. we would like any careless child i had plans that evening i wasn't afraid when they started shelling i only remember that something exploded in my bed was thrown into another corner of the room. not only four year old canady was unaware of the watch was. happening his father an experienced red army officer was also caught flatfooted that night seventy years ago different i was at this house with my mother my father who was later defend the breast fortress this was our window on the first floor my father

was sure there could be no war this is what the particulates say he thought it was an earthquake he grabbed his accordion and ran outside my mom stopped and told him this is war. a war for which the nazi military the bear market had come up with a name for long before blitzkrieg but a siege they'd planned would last just hours instead was to go on for weeks and appear as battle with those who defended to the death. the be as cautious became the size of the first major fighting transported forces and the fear marked there was no warning when the nazis invaded on the night of the twenty second of june nineteenth one. of the garrison by surprise army officers was brought out and was on the ground there but even this didn't stop them debunking the fourth and fifth battles until the last survivor stories of the heroic resistance quickly

a mass grave into which they were about to throw women and children and this woman pushed me and my mom understood when the german slaughter everyone around and left this woman took me out from under stood crossed me and said i just did what god told me to. after nine days of fierce fighting hitler's forces captured most of the fortress but their losses amounted to almost nine thousand there were reports that isolated defenders remain resisting the nazis as late as august when hitler and mussolini personally visited the site of the battle it's claimed that a stone hitler picked up from the remains of the fortress was found in his office after the war. i'm often asked what was the biggest award for you the one most valued for. the most precious award for me was that i stayed alive everyone was functioning like true heroes for a few survived but you could understand for years of age nothing it's only now that

in the trial something special something you can't see through it's against the russian civilian population or certainly knew they were going on the justification was we're fighting a brutal war of survival. but that war with darker than any other war in the twentieth century and indeed possibly in human history. you can watch that full interview at half past the hour we're going to take a very short break and katrina will be here because.

i would welcome the artes business bulletin money has been steadily flowing out of russia for the last nine months due to risk aversion among global investors and he backed investment fund as part of the effort to reverse that trend and encourage foreign capital to take a longer view on seesmic pool caught up with the c.e.o. of the new front carol he started by asking him how the fund would work. there's a basic idea behind the plan to spur investment because actual budget meets your chairman of the african obeyed myself of the mother could be a ball that traveled around the investors of the world and we asked them how would you invest much more of 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 to be their first investment the russians they get the shaft apart so the investment is the basic ideas upon the investment projects but they can invest in projects only if at least the same amount of money just for invested by the leading international investor in the projects while you

watch the board a purpose of this fund what does it hope to achieve i think. many investors feel bad because 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 that basically investors think it's more difficult and more risky to invest in russia as an actual it is so there will be a partner and they need a partner to feel look comfortable make an investment and it's very similar for example if you're invested in a rig in china you know would you invest on your own or would you like a partner was the chinese thought so we're just making it easier to find a partner and we share the risk because russian state will become invested was those investors. ara float russians flagship and carrier has ordered eight triple seven passenger jets from boeing and also the paris air show the one point two
