welcome you're watching r t one i'm scared you know in our top story at eight pm moscow time the number of people killed in the plane crash in northwest russia has now risen to forty five today after a young boy died of his injuries in hospital experts are examining the doomed to pull of black boxes now to establish the cause of the tragedy or family and friends arrived at the site to pay their last respects for the latest let's catch up with their tests or a similar tests of relieving are incredibly difficult time for the relatives and i wouldn't. yes a certainly has a lot of the hardest things that they had to do and coming here to france is avoid to identify the bodies of the victims that are now at the morgue and throughout the day also we saw some of the family members coming here to the actual site right behind me is where the a typical of run three four had crashed on monday night on a dairy fifty two people as you mentioned forty five have died from that accident

and there's a small memorial that they have put created put together here visited by locals bringing flowers and candles and also there was a smaller religious service earlier today at times said by the officials of the region who asked for the investigation it's still ongoing the a flight recorder is being examined and it will be decoded eventually but for now investigators say that they're still looking at all possibilities all theories however initial statements that have been released by several different authorities made make it seem that they are looking closely at human error and the bad weather conditions as possible and likely causes of the crash of course is hoping to the family members and they say for them at this point who's to blame takes a back seat because they're just really trying to deal with their own grief. a commercial plane that would have landed on schedule ended up in pieces and in

flames this tuple of one three four carrying fifty two people from moscow think that was a good north western 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. in around midnight you know if you know how to check the electric transformer we heard the sound of a huge explosion and we run through the scene here actually taking your pain seriously damage you can see it's just years. it would be. around the field you know not something. three people on the record. each one was either a girl or a woman i could not sell but she was launch of them no mind was hard to see it was dark and there was a man and also i was in the heavy it was not about me if you carried out to most people from the wreckage to middle of the road not a man reached out his hand towards me but are coming and i get to him actually everything starts it actually loves me and equally so everything was i go by my

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 right 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 just human error place the biggest part. of which 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. in previous catastrophes human error was always to blame at the same is true the.

pilot should have made a second round of approach this is exactly what happens on the polish presidential airplane while the investigation work on the case relatives of the victims and survivors are dealing with their own grief was shared by the people of tibet as a boy it's declaring the days of mourning just are still here r.t. in the russian region. reports suggest seven special forces officers have been killed and at least sixteen others wounded in an anti terror operation russian's volatile north caucuses fierce fighting broke out when a group of militants have been surrounded in their hideout try to break free press can offer ports. this operation is still continuing it's been going on for two days it's all happening in the troubled republic of kyrgyzstan in the caucasus in a forest area so perhaps the basque complicating the operation for the special forces is started with the authorities surrounding a group of militants watch who they try to break through and that's reportedly one

some of the police officers were killed going to reports there's intense fighting still and losses on both sides but the figures on battle are quite different officials say that five police officers were killed miles reports in the media suggest this figure is seven and sixteen others were injured in the fighting as well when it comes to the militants five of them have been have been killed as well during the course of this operation old all this has not yet been officially confirmed still it's still continuing in fact the authorities have also deployed artillery including tanks and helicopters to assist them in this operation unfortunately the north caucasus is called the cradle of terrorism in russia and president an economy that is it has been saying many times very it's one of the key goals of his administration to strengthen security in the caucasus authorities have

been able to hold some successful operations in that region including the republic of the just last week we found and destroyed an underground weapons factory with numerous homemade explosive devices with remote controls also last week limited personal will be have been searching for since last new year's eve. a terrorist attack in almost all the new year's eve that went wrong fortunately for everybody so this man has been eliminated as well and all that just shows how important it is to strengthen security in that region because it really does f.x. security in the entire country. money go pers can offer you something they don't store and are still ahead for you want to see this half hour stripping millions of people of their privacy and or the name of fighting terror as we report the u.s. efforts to keep information on the transatlantic passengers from fifty years or more years of slumber said you know as

a legal scholar more about it later in the program. to greece now there the prime minister has won a crucial parliamentary vote of confidence in his new reshuffle government he was 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 result the sort of first reports next for the millions of anxious greeks who feel their voices are going to hurt the future has never looked so pretty. it's considered by many to be the birthplace of democracy but increase now the waiting gap between aims at the people and the government treating explained said. we are a mix of people. political carlos and. good to say that we cannot be and that. we cannot hold. the most of the measures but they take for us. we want to take out large bug demonstrations are held and essential square now

in a daily basis but some of the trade tests turning violent. the case has to stay the suffocating take ask nothing can take the stage the nation is that they fail strangling their economy but people are being refused their right to judge what policies are going to be implemented up. and of course the greek government is an accomplice to this. popular sovereignty i mean we're not one of anymore in a proper sense a sovereign country when the i.m.f. can dictate policy when the european. union and the i.m.f. the so-called troika can come and say listen these are these are the measures you're going to implement you are going to implement them whether you like it a lot we can see you know we were facing a very peculiar form of dictatorship by the european union the european central

bank and the. way finance chiefs attest but not to see the first year raising suffering defaults and there are rising concerns about the crisis that could trigger. i think very chance of a domino effect if if greece or. announcer default and this is their problem and reason why are europeans are helping greece but in fact we are here pingers because they don't want this domino effect and because they want to take all very short of greece. sixteen percent of the greek what full sun employees western economic conditions even queen ski usng dream it seems it's a. miserable. listen to the people or worse the arms would be full of are people not there were uprising or there would be a lot of violence in the streets the people said that when that turning out into the streets and then millions and the government continues to push ahead with the

face nations when they change have to mow kristie anymore. the government is trying to grumble but the people refuse to be governed in this way every day that disconnect becomes more and more dangerous this very peaceful of care about the reef talks and athens be a world away from most things 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 up violence will know that it's already past that point the question a lot of people and i was skiing is really how much does this guy. say athens. the fundamental human rights of millions of transatlantic passengers traveling from europe to the united states could be violating the code even more as from the european commission the u.k.'s guardian newspaper says they've called a proposed deal between the us and the e.u. allowing america to store the personal danger of passengers illegal under the

agreement u.s. officials would have access to credit card details phone numbers and home addresses of european passed this as part of its anti terror measure but member of the european parliament but he says the deal will only result in more spying on groups . this certainly seems to me to be disproportionate this disproportionate and intrusive in the amount of and then information that they actually want on travelers and it could well be illegal especially under existing data protection legislation i queried that before when speaking on this subject in the parliament they want the more most amount of information about people their personal details credit cards traveling companions even 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 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 being 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 well it has to come 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 of everybody cooperates truly cooperate rather than is forced to do it we're all in the same boat regarding terrorism and organized crime so we should all be cooperating together not a favor of the doing this on its own you know as part of this our legislative machine and the u.s. i get in a special deal which the rest of us don't get. thoughts there over any. talking to us but earlier on. italy has called for an immediate cease fire in libya to allow

humanitarian aid reported to the country appeal comes after mater's admitted to a blunder which resulted in the deaths of civilians including children let's talk more about the developing situation they bring into the equation michele colonies investigative journalist joining us on the line from brussels michele very good even two things going on r.t. and you're a live in just a few days ago when you what exactly did you witness there. you know there are no flights or tripoli so we have to go through to leave. along the desert. and my first impression is that jazeera just. a little bit before the region was under the control of the rebels this was not true that everything was quiet it was no problem so you have to be very careful about the information so let me just clarify you say what you saw was under the control of gadhafi absolutely in the way it was mainly in tripoli in tripoli decision was very calm no problem

in the center you had policeman with no it's any arms. seized there is no good if you would tripoli so the situation is perfectly under control and indeed the rebellion is only in the eastern part with benghazi and with some tribes kate let's look at these latest developments now the italian foreign minister franco frattini call for a suspension of hostilities in libya to allow humanitarian aid now russia has been calling for a cease fire in libya for some time the arab league recently voiced their doubts over the credibility of the mission will list influence nato's actions well i don't know if you look. afghanistan to compare everybody knows including in the us see that the war is lost the minister all group who recently died said the war is lost we have to get out but obama will not get out of afghanistan because if

they get out this. means that the u.s. is look evil to win a war he's not able to impose its rule over the world so i'm very hopeful i think there is only if there is an international pressure like it was for vietnam then the u.s. and allies really. let's talk about that. nato missile probably misfired on sunday into a residential area and it's the first time that nato has admitted it made a mistake in libya killing civilians and children in tripoli are you surprised by their admission. except the idea that there is a mistake because something like that i think the real objective of the war is not struve protect civilians but to overthrow caffeine and then i just read again something if you will only that i have read in a previous book about the war against yugoslavia it was

a declaration of the chief of staff of the pollution army who took part in the new two aggression and he mentioned i quote maybe we do have to make the bone beings fails by hurting or you can show itself unless inflict losses on them let's hear the greatest at the stroke not be and the loss of life it would instead be the new to operations turning out to be a fear of failure and you say once a mindset applies now i think there is a pressure on the population there won't the population through press to get rid of . ritual the usual strategy and it's very cynical i don't know what your answer to my next question is then but i want to clarify cash from you nato said its actions were for humanitarian reasons now you've been there you say what you've seen ju believe that is still the case in any shape or form it was never the case because they are skilled mall civilians. that's the losses from the

initials problems their fears most civilians the little bombings so the real id is not protect civilians the real and deed is to achieve the economical strategy called interest of the of the west us in europe i mean the oil i mean the financial reserves of libya bring mind that the us c. is a bankrupt country and also or preventing that caffie would be a sort of turn of used to the i.m.f. some buying for african development and also as i already said the old idea is to make the kadlec international opinion accept the idea that nato is the cup of the world is that that nato was the right to make wars where they want to show just one quick question for what it was crude came because you were there did you yourself see any evidence of civilian deaths of millions being killed by night yes revisit the people in hospitals and we saw victims and indeed the civilian population

is attacked that must be very clear it has nothing to do with him in its air and war all right thank you for agreeing on the program michel call an investigative journalist joining us on the line from brussels there good to hear what you saw thank you. the countries of the former soviet union are marking the seventieth anniversary of the nazi invasion which claimed the lives of some twenty seven million people solemn ceremonies been held across several states which bore the brunt of the war against hitler's armies here in moscow russia's political elite laid wreaths at the tomb of the unknown soldier the kremlin president stressed the importance of keeping the memory of the allies making sure. the time. in belarus meantime a special ceremony was held at the breast fortress which witnessed the first major battle between soviet forces from the category of. being here inside the prettiest fortress on these days seventy years after the start of

the great patchouli war makes you not only see the damage to this city. 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 that 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 loves behind the inscription it's like the bomb on a wall i'm dying but i want so bad we're not even us. fewer and fewer witnesses saw the first day of the war and the horse which followed after here is a. group of years like any careless child i had planned 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 canard he was unaware of the water was happening his father an experienced red army officer it was also. said that not seventy years ago were different from. i was at his house with my mother and 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 party could say he thought it was an earthquake he grabbed his accordion and ran outside my mom stopped and told him this is war. the war for which the nazi military the bear market had come up with a name for long before leeds creek but a siege they'd planned would last just hours instead must go on for weeks and appears battle with those who defended to the death. the best courses became the

size of the first major fighting between soviet forces and the beer market there was no warning when the nazis invaded on the night of the twenty second of june nineteenth. the bombardment of the garrison by surprise us army officers was spread out on cars. but even the students took them to finding the fourth in fierce battles until the last survivor stories of the heroes resistance quickly reached different fronts soldier me loss of received the news far away in the republic of in northwest russia it was a brief shining plain for all people trapped here everyone knew that the german army was much stronger every day we receive reports that the enemy marched another hundred kilometers or deeper into. the nazis were in a hurry a gateway to country they born to the rest fortress with devastating intensity up

to sixty six new cells. archive footage from the time shows the tryst silhouetted in heavy smoke hundreds were killed in their sleep during the first minutes all the time among them small children some survived the night only to. we buried alive later this is my second mother when the nazis rounded up the refugees scattered in villages like this one season the germans dug a mass grave into which they were about to throw will and children this morning and my mom understood when the germans slaughtered everyone around and left this woman took me out from under her skirt crossed me and said i just did what god told me to . after nine days of fierce fighting hitler also captured most of the troops but their losses amounted to almost nine thousand there were reports that isolated defenders remain resisting the nazis as leaders when hitler and mussolini

personally visited the site of the battle it's claimed that is stone hitler picked up from the remains of the trees 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 strain a knife everyone was finally my true heroes for a few survived but you could understand for years of age nothing it's only now that i'm a father and grandfather myself i realize what a life is worth now in the fist pacifist i hate war i don't understand how one should be violence to another i live my life never doing anything to anybody. our team. it's a twenty four pm here in moscow we've got sports in thirty minutes or forty year old person thought i was upset a a five time champion away ball though that's out of the spotlight of
