relatives of the victims and the survivors some of them have already made their way here sagar is still on the way a ten year old boy had passed away at the hospital to convict his injuries so his family definitely going through an emotional time now it will be a tough day for their families because they have the task of identifying the bodies at the borg and also we have spoken to some of those who are first at the scene and they were telling us about what they had seen where the plane had crashed bodies and body parts and bodies all over the place let's hear from one of the witnesses about what he had experienced. we first told me and we heard a man screaming. surrounded my house. the flames. well it's still very early stages to come up with one as theory investigators are still working on the case 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 be airports so it had really burned out the force 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 to better as avoid skin northwestern russia crash 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 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 seriously damage we could see. the bushes. around the field there were lots. of them i

correct three people out of the wreckage one was either a girl or a woman i could not sell but she was lighter than a man was hard to see it was dark and there was a man he also was and how he it was not to then me and then we carried out two more people from the wreckage in the middle of the road another man reached out his hand to hold for me but i couldn't make it to him everything started exploding i could not gain a closer everything was engulfed by fire story. 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. 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 services severe weather conditions technical failure and several other potential causes but some would argue that in most plane crashes human error plays the biggest part you cut it anymore 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 beth as avoids the glaring three days of mourning tesser still u r t in the russian karelia region. reports suggest seventy seven special forces officers have been killed and at least sixteen others wounded during an anti terror operation in russia's volatile north caucuses here is fighting broke out when insurgents who had been

is that group put up what do to somebody force there may have been thirty people killed the family police forces in that area you know forty's are also bring in now with heavy oil through tanks and helicopters to assist them in the subway from. the north caucuses ah is known as the cradle of russian terrorists what's being done to change that unfortunately it is known as the credo of terrorism it was said in fact president putin maybe time said that one of the key pools all four of his of the streets and is quite secure especially for the caucasus and the federal forces have been quite active in that area throughout the entire year of forty. many of the two hundred militants were killed this year zero zero zero some local parents. also just weren't.

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 you can't dictate policy when the european when peaceably and big european union under you may have the so-called can come and say listen these are these are the measures you're going to implement you're going to implement them whether you like it or not we can see you know we're facing a very peculiar form of dictatorship by the european union the european central bank and the i.m.f. here a finance chiefs a desperate not to see the first year raising suffering defaults and there are rising concerns about the crisis that could trigger throughout europe i think there's a chance of a domino effect. around here before.

this is their problem and reason why are europeans are helping greece but in fact we are here pingers because we don't want this domino effect because we want to take all very shores of greece. sixteen percent of the queen what full sun influence western economic conditions here increased the euro is a dream it seems is a. people were real fans were full of. people were not there were uprising or there would be a lot of violence in the streets but people said that when that turning out into the streets and then millions and the government continues to push ahead with the pace measures then they going to have democracy anymore the government is trying to govern the people refuse to be governed in this way every day that disconnect becomes more and more dangerous this three piece about the reef top stand up and

the fundamental human rights of millions of transatlantic passengers traveling from europe to the you ask could be violated that's according to lawyers from the european commission the u.k.'s guardian newspaper says they call the proposed deal between the u.s. and e.u. allowing americans to store the personal data passengers illegal under the agreement u.s. officials would have access to credit card details phone numbers and home addresses of european passengers as part of its anti terror measures but member of the european parliament gerard batten says the deal will only result in more spying on europe's people. it certainly seems to me to be disprove this proportionate 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 are queried that before when speaking on this subject in the parliament they want. information about people their personal details credit card travelling companions

either but bizarrely they say that they won't categorize information in terms of political philosophical or religious beliefs and it would seem to me the 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 vices of political religious or philosophical beliefs that seems rather odd to me 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 to keep it for five years and i think it's bad enough having your own big brother state created in the european union had been subjugated to an american big brother star as well by the same method we're always told that these things are done to protect us from you know terrorism and organized crime and we all want to be protected from that of course we do and we have to have proportionate laws in order to do that but i think these things should be reached by international agreements that everybody cooperates truly cooperate rather in

this force that we're all in the same boat regarding terrorism and organized crime so we should all be cooperating together. if i read the doing this on its own you know as part of its own legislative machine and the u.s. i get in a special deal which the rest of us don't get. well look at some we're more world news in grief for you this hour at least fifty seven al qaeda militants have 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 gell 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 unrest in yemen have led to fears of growing influence. syria has poured scorn on e.u. moves to impose sanctions saying it will simply forget europe is on a map with violent crackdown against anti-government activists in the country has left hundreds dead since the uprising began in march activists are calling for
