wanted to have to happen. the russian premier league football referee. just one of the forty fourth killed monday night to pull that one three four carrying fifty two people from moscow to northwestern russia crashed 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 pilot he had lens of planes and this airport many times it's very personal to me when i heard. it it would have been to. 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 for us 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 kept recalling people screaming and pulling bodies away from the plane. the scene his house only meters away from where the plane came down. i heard the explosion and. the lights went. to. the firemen arrived and we helped them the man we dragged. from his pocket. 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. are being looked into but initial reports suggest. pilot error are the likely causes of the crash a suggestion that didn't sit well with some locals. it's easy to

blame the pilot because he's dead. i think the airport itself is to blame or like. i was waiting for answers but all they can do now is remember those. jets are still you are to russia's korea your 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 have been surrounded in their hideout try to break free can offer ports. this operation is still continuing it's been going on for two days it's all happening in the republic. forest perhaps complicating the operation for the special forces. group the militants. try to break through. some of the police officers were killed.

there is intense. still and losses on both sides but the figures are quite different. havey old artillery including tanks and helicopters to assist them in this operation unfortunately the north caucasus is called terrorism . and president need 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. that region including the republic of the. weak be found and destroyed an underground weapons factory with numerous explosive devices with remote controls also last week. a person will be have been searching for since last new year's eve was plotting terrorist attack. all the other new year's eve that went wrong fortunately for everybody has been eliminated

as well. just shows how important it is to strengthen security in that region because it really does f.x. security in the entire country. can offer correspondent with that story tonight still to come this hour enough is enough becomes the first. ceasefire in libya you can see rising civilian deaths. head. to the attention of greece now though where the prime minister there's one a crucial parliamentary vote of confidence in his newly reshuffled. 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 avoid a 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 to be the best place of democracy but increased now waiting gap

between me and the people in the government is preaching explain. we are a mix of people that have no political dollars and we are all together to say that we we cannot be and the vice president we cannot called. the measures the canonical measures that they take for us without us and we want to take our large back demonstrations held on the central square now in a daily basis with some of the protests turning violent the trade has to stay the suffocating take as nothing compared to the a stage that they fail 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 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 european when the sabean and 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're going to implement them whether you like it a lot we can say in a way we're facing a very peculiar form. by the european union the european central bank and the. finance chiefs a desperate not to see the first year raising self in default and their rising concerns about the crisis that could trigger throughout the i think there is a 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 pay for a very short list of three. of the sixteen percent of the week what full sun

employees western economic conditions here in greece to us saying dream it seems it's a. free for growing one person who could be worse the authors 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 grumble but the people refuse to be government in this way every day that disconnect becomes more and more dangerous. about the reef and not 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. 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. say. i was more of service inside of the problems in greece. i want to learn how the peaceful protest to visit her blog on our website and why you know the story is going to change in the netherlands where the coin is being brought back up to date of cashing in on the smartphone scanning craze. this is up next tonight italy's call for immediate cease fire in libya to allow humanitarian aid to be 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 michelle cohen who is in libya just

a couple of days ago told me that nato is pursuing its own interests in the region . they killed more civilians that the losses from the initials problems there feels more civilians the little bombings so the real id is not protect civilians the rio de is to achieve the economical strategy called interest off there of the west us in europe i mean the oil i mean the financial reserves of libya i remind that the u.s. is a bankrupt country and also all preventing that gaddafi would be a sort of china to do i.m.f. some buying for african development your idea is to make the public international opinion accept the idea that nato is a cup of the world is that that nato has the right to make wars where they want to revisit the people in hospitals and we saw victims and you did the civilian

population is attacked that must be very clear it has nothing to do with him in a chair and walk. meantime syria has poured scorn on e.u. moves 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 east two a day 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 well what did you make of the man and indeed how strong do you think his power base is right now. a good question . when i knew him he was still as a crown prince rolls in the king his father was still alive and we all hoped somebody who had lived in the west and he would be a breath of fresh air when he eventually took over which happened shortly after i left in two thousand. indeed there was at that stage a short

a syrian spring but he took over as. actually 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 shouldn't go too far so he then threw in his lot with them and since then there really has been not much 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 have 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 or else in the way he is following up the moment france and germany are at the forefront of trying to bring it in another way as you know they'd like to bring a resolution condemning syria with a to a vote at the u.n. security council not something that russia strongly opposing all the way along the line despite russia's opposition is there any chance that said u.n. resolution could be adopted. 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 that 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 in effect and 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 accused 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 there just what are the u.s. and the e.u. really trying to achieve with these 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 indeed just before march what is the best way your opinion of stopping the bloodshed now what should be done what could be done 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 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 ins 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 up that sort of idea at the moment we're following developments very closely but at least would form you can past into syria thank you for your insight on the program. not at all a pleasure. the countries of former soviet union m r q seventieth anniversary of the nazi invasion the claimed the lives of some twenty seven million people solemn ceremonies have been held across several states which bore the brunt of the war against he's here in moscow russia's political elite played reins of the tomb of the unknown soldier but the kremlin will present a very stressed the importance of keeping the memory of the war alive making sure it doesn't fade with time. the special ceremony was held at the brest fortress which witnessed the first major battle between soviet and nazi forces and it's from there that our correspondent catherine a group showed reporters. being here inside the prettiest fortress on this day seventy years after the start of the great passion 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 shells on 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 forty one here also but love to behind several inscriptions like the one on a wall i'm dying but i want so bad we're not even told us each year and fewer witnesses saw the first day of the war and the horse which followed after here is. the yorker who would like any careless child i had plans that evening i wasn't afraid when they started shelling i only remember that something exploded and my bed was thrown into another corner of the room. not only four year

old canady was unaware of the water was happening his father an experienced red army officer was also called that night. seventy years ago before i was at this house with my mother my father who was laid to 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 gets saying 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 very marked 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 in a fierce battle with those who defended to the death from the fifth corps shows became the size of the first major fighting between soviet forces and the viet

mocked there was no warning when the nazis invaded on the night of the twenty second of june one thousand nine hundred forty one the bombardment of the garrison by surprise that army officers was spread out and passed on from there i mean ition but even the students stopped them to funding the forts in fierce battles until the last survivor stories of the heroic resistance quickly reached different fronts soldier me loss of received the news far away in the republic of in northwest russia it was a grief silent pain for all people trapped here everyone knew that the german army was much stronger every day we received reports that the enemy marched another hundred kilometers deep into our homeland the nazis were in a hurry and the gateway to last country they bore into the breast fortress with devastating intensity up to sixty six me sells

a second archive footage from the time shows the fortress silhouetted in heavy smoke hundreds were killed in their sleep during the first minutes of the tac 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 nearby this one saved me the germans dug a mass grave into which they were about to throw women children and this woman pushed me and my mom under when the germans slaughtered everyone around and left this woman took me out from under her skirt crossed leader and said i just did what god told me to you are up to 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 one hitler and mussolini personally visited the site of the battle it's claimed that

a stone hitler 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 fighting like true heroes but few survived but you could understand it 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 one human being can trigger violence to another i've lived my life never doing anything to anybody. our team. well they for some a one thing the price was paid in blood stay with us if you will for more testimony witnesses very shortly after the seventieth anniversary of the nazi invasion of the soviet union
