my name is kevin zero in our top story at nine pm moscow time the number of people killed in a plane crash in northwest russia has risen to forty five after a young boy died of his injuries in hospital today experts are examining the black boxes to establish the cause of the tragedy well family and friends arrived at the site to pay their last respects. report. well it has been an emotional and tough day for the families and friends of the victims and the survivors many of them had gone to be a morgues identify the bodies of the victims and a few of them to come in here to the site where the crash had happened here to the

other one before carrying fifty two people had landed here at this road right behind me they put together a small memorial where locals family members friends have been coming in bringing flowers and candles and also there was a small service earlier today where it was attended by officials of vehicle builder region now as for the investigation itself it's still ongoing with the flight recorder is in moscow being still being examined and it will take some time before it is fully decoded and investigators say that the story they're still looking at all possibilities nothing is ruled out yet all theories are being worked out of every piece of here to look at the initial statements made by there's a forty's at the all who can foresee of human error and bad weather conditions as possible and likely causes of the crash but again speaking to the family members for that of the blame game really takes a backseat at this point because they really just want to try and deal with their own grief. struggling to keep her composure that yana is in disbelief at the sudden

death of her friend. i do not understand why it happened she was one of the best people i've ever known i do not understand maybe it's frayed to want to have to happen. the russian premier league football referee the miracle just one of the forty four killed monday night when to pull that one week for carrying fifty two people from moscow to peppers of vodka north western russia crushed on this road missing the runway by a kilometer twenty four hours later the crash claimed another victim when one of the survivors a young boy died in hospital. my late husband was a kylie he had learned the planes and this airport many times it's very personal to me when i heard. died i was sure. it would have been that's a funny guy. the site of the crash has been cleaned up the roads have been reopened the wreckage of the plane completely removed but there are still career marks evidence like this bridge chorus that reminds people of the tragedy that struck on

monday night and for those who have been here to witness the horrific scenes they say that those memories are unlikely to go away. i didn't sleep for two days i couldn't even fall asleep i care for calling people screaming and i was pulling bodies away from the plane and you'd get he was one of the first that seen his house only metres away from where the plane came down. and i heard the explosion and ran outside the lights went out i ran to the site and we started doing people trying to win man two women and the pilot he was dead and the firemen arrived we helped them the man we dragged away called his wife and he asked me to get his phone from his pocket they say he's still alive but still in the hospital he's still while all the bodies have been recovered the relatives of the victims still have the tough task of identifying their loved ones investigators say all possible scenarios are being looked into but initial reports suggest bad weather and pilot

error are the likely causes of the crash a suggestion that didn't sit well with some locals just would cause i knew. it's easy to blame the pilot because he's dead i think the airport itself is to blame for. waiting for answers but all they can do now is remember those lost. does are still yards russia's karelia region. reports suggest seven special forces officers have been killed and at least sixteen others wounded in an anti terror operation russia's volatile north caucasus fierce fighting broke out when a group of militants had been surrounded in the hideout trying to break free and offer of course. 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 bats complicating the operation for the special forces

is started with the authorities surrounding a group of militants watch the try to break through and that's reportedly one some of the police officers were killed going to be intense fighting still and losses on both sides of the figures on that or quite different the authorities have also deployed heavy old artillery including paints and helicopters to assist them in this operation unfortunately the north caucasus is called the. president needed to be the first been saying many times it's one of the key goals of his administration to strengthen security in the caucasus authorities have been able to pull operations in that region including the republic of biggest star just last week the found and destroyed an underground weapons factory with numerous small mean explosive devices with remote controls also last week before

a limited person will be have been searching for since last new year's eve was plotting terrorist attack in moscow all of the new year's eve that went wrong fortunately for everybody so this man has been eliminated as well although it just shows how important it is to strengthen security in that region because it really does f.x. security in the entire country. can often correspond with that story tonight still to come this hour enough is enough becomes the first nato member to call for immediate cease fire in libya you can see rising civilian deaths he tells her head . to the attention to greece now though where the prime minister there is one a crucial parliamentary vote of confidence in his newly reshuffled. and it 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 avoided default but as our sisera furth reports for the millions of

anxious greeks who feel their voices are going on heard their futures never looked so bleak. it's considered by many speed the best place of democracy to increase now waiting gap between you and the people and the government is preaching explained. we are a mix of people of most political dollars and yet altogether to say that we cannot be on the face pleasure we are not called. the measures taken on the measures that they take for us without us and we want to take our lives but constrain the held on 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 the a stage. they fail strangling their economy the people are being refused their right to judge what policies are going to be implemented upon them and of

course the greek government is an accomplice to this of populist over and i mean we're not we're not anymore in the proper sense a sovereign country with the i.m.f. can dictate policy when the europeans and the european union and the i.m.f. the so-called pro can come and say listen these are these are the measures you're going to implement you're going to implement them rather like the north we can see you know we're facing a very peculiar form. by the european union the european central bank and the. way finance chiefs desperate not to see the first year raising self in default and their rising concerns about the crisis that could trigger throughout europe i think very chance of a domino effect if greece or. announcer default and this is their problem and this is very reason why are europeans are are helping

greece but in fact we're here pingers because they don't want just. because we want to take all very short of. the sixteen percent of the week what full sun employees western economic conditions hearings greenstein year easing dream it seems it's a. one person who could be worse the authors would be full of. people who got there were uprising or there would be a lot of violence in the streets and people said that when that turning out into the streets and then millions and the government t.v.'s patricia headley the pay's measures when they deign to have to mock christie 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 i care about the reef thoughts and not the real world away from what's been happening on the streets recently the question

a lot of people have been asking is just plan will greece reach boiling points 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 does this guy that. i was more of service inside of the problems in greece. dot com if you want to learn how the peaceful protests visit her blog on our website and what you've heard the story is going to change in the netherlands where the humble coin is being brought back up to date of cashing in on the smart scanning craze find out about all works. this is our next hour italy's called for immediate ceasefire in libya to allow

humanitarian aid brought into the country the appeal comes after nato has admitted to a blunder which resulted in the deaths of civilians including children and investigative journalist we shall call on who's in libya just a couple of days ago told me that nato is pursuing its own interests of the region . they are killed more civilians that's the losses from the initials problems there feels more civilians the nato bombings so the real id is not protect civilians the rio de is to achieve the economical structure tickle interest off there of the west us in europe i mean the oil i mean the financial reserves of libya remind that the us is a bankrupt country and also all preventing that caffie would be a sort of power turner used to the i.m.f. some vying for african development your idea is to make the public international opinion accept the idea that nato is a copy of the world of that nato has

a right to make walls where they want to revisit the people in hospitals and we saw victims and indeed this is a million population is attacked that must be very clear it has nothing to do with him in its air and war. we time syria has poured scorn on e.u. grooves to impose sanctions saying it will simply forget europe's on the map a violent crackdown against anti-government activists in the country has left hundreds dead since the uprising began in march let's talk more about the situation now with basil eastwood a for the british ambassador to the country mr eastwood thank you for taking the time and to be on our to your insights appreciated here you spent many years living in syria you've met president bashar al assad what did you make of the man and indeed how strong do you think his power base is right now . good question. when i knew him he was still in as a crown prince roles in the king his father was still alive and we all hoped that

somebody who had lived in the west and he would be a breath of fresh air when he when she took over which happened shortly after i left in two thousand. indeed there was at that stage a short of syrian spring but he took over essentially as the one candidate who could ensure the continued perquisites of the syrian power elite. and they i fear told him fairly shortly after he took over that the syrian spring from go too far so he then threw in his lot with them and since then there really has been not so much for there to be seen between him and the power brokers of syria and whether he influences them or they him i'm not sure the two seem to go together would you say he's popular with the people in his country generally i think he's i think he certainly did have

a widespread measure of popularity to begin with when he took over because there were great hopes that he would lead to a better future he still retains some of that popularity particularly with the urban populations in damascus and aleppo the second big city which has done relatively well out of his economic liberalization. but in the countryside and amongst the intelligentsia i think there are now no hopes that he can bring about reforms what do you think he'd make of the criticism he's getting from nato members and indeed today even the u.n. secretary general said that president assad quote lacks credibility what assad worry about that would be a blow to him or not. well it's. clearly a criticism that will sting if he if he hears it. but at the moment he sees himself

in a battle with the forces dark forces of evil as he would see them and probably regards himself as having no other option. but one has to hope that he can be persuaded to see that has to be another way rolls in the way years following up the moment or france germany at the forefront of trying to bring it in and other ways you know they'd like to bring a resolution condemning syria wouldn't they to a vote at the un security council that's russia strongly opposing all the way along the line despite russia's opposition is there any chance that said lucian. well if russia is going to veto clearly not but if russia wants to have any influence in syria which one would like to think that it wants. then it should leave that possibility open but it would at least abstain on allow a resolution to pass at the moment however russian opposition to

a resolution of any resort criticizing syria seems to be so vehement that the syrians are being ineffective the syrian regime is in effect being given. free run to do what they like without criticism from the security council you have first hand experience this country in the past as we've said now the u.s. has previously. ran and has been helping syria crack down on the protesters do you think assad's regime could have sought outside help. i'm not sure that's really relevant. i have no information myself i'm retired now about any such help i would not have thought that the syrian regime needed such help to do what it is now doing. ok it's come under a lot of pressure lately syria increasing international pressures and just alluded to and sanctions over its brutal crackdown on the growing protest movement just what are the u.s. and the e.u.

really trying to achieve with beings measures where they go in on this thing. well as i say are no longer. serving british diplomats. but i would guess what. right i would guess that they are hoping to bring about a change of heart. in if not the core people in the regime at least those closely around them who can influence them and if sanctions do such a change of heart they will be very welcome and what about the human rights groups and say more than fourteen hundred people have died since these protests kicked off in march and the just before march what's the best way your pain of stopping the bloodshed now what should be done what could be to have an effect.

with every day that passes with every drop of blood that is shared it gets more difficult because there is a long tradition in that part of the world of a vengeance but so far the opposition activists at least are sticking firmly to their insistence that there should be. no violence on the part of the activists the regime accuses. its opponents of using violence of course but the activists are all saying no violence and they're also saying they do not want any and outside intervention. and they are starting to talk about the need for. a political process what they said at a conference in turkey two weeks ago was that the president should step down and that the vice president should hold the rings pending new

elections on the basis of a revised constitution now that is the start of of a political discussion if anybody wanted to take it up but there is obviously no sign whatever of anybody in the regime wanting to take out that sort of idea at the moment we're following developments very closely as least would form you can past into syria thank you for your insight on the program. not all the pleasure. countries of former soviet union are marking the seventieth anniversary of the nazi invasion the playing the lives of some twenty seven million people solemn ceremonies have been held across several states which bore the brunt of the war against these here in moscow russia's political elite laid reins of the tomb of the unknown soldier by the kremlin president of stress the importance of keeping the memory of the war alive making sure it doesn't fade with. the special ceremony was held at the breast fortress which witnessed the first major battle between soviet and nazi forces and it's from there that our correspondent katrina group showed up

. being here inside the biggest fortress on these days seventy years after the start of the great passion war makes you not only see the damage to the citadel of but 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 burst the roches night thousands of people were buried alive on these boards square kilometers on the night of the twenty second of june nineteenth forty one here also loves behind the inscription. on a wall i'm dying but i want so badly we're not even us. your answer you are witnesses of the first day of the war and the poor of speech followed after here is. like any careless

a hurry to gauge wait to wast country they bombed the breast 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 of the time among them small children. some survived the night only to be buried alive later this is my second mother when the nazis rounded up the refugees scattered in villages by this woman save me the germans dug a mass grave into which they were about to throw women and children and this woman pushed me and my mom under when the german slaughter everyone around unless this woman took me out from under her skirt crossed earlier 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 leaders when hitler and mussolini personally visited the site of the battle it's claimed the first stone hitler speaks out from the remains of 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 straight at night everyone was finally my true heroes but a few survived but you could understand four years of age nothing it's only now that i'm a father and grandfather myself i realize what a life is worth now i'm a fierce pacifist i hate war i don't understand how washington being in violence to another i live my life never doing any harm to anybody. except in a gradual artsy. well way for some a one bird thing huge
