identify the bodies of the victims and a few of them to come in here to the side where the crash had happened here to a level one three four carrying fifty two people that live here on this road right behind me they have 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 the region now as for the investigation itself it's still ongoing a flight recorder is in moscow being still being examined it will take some time before it is fully decoded and investigators say that this point they're still looking at all possibilities nothing is ruled out yet all theories are being looked at it every few days over to look at the initial statements made by bears authorities at the all looking for slee of human error and bad weather conditions as possible and likely causes of the crash but again speaking to the family members for that blame game really takes a back seat 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 you know. 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. just one of the forty four killed monday night when a temple of one three four carrying fifty two people from moscow to his avoids in 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. when i heard the little boy in the hospital die and i was shocked it's awful my late husband was a pilot he had landed planes of this airport many times it's very personal to me. 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 clear marks evidence like this for us that reminds people of the tragedy that struck on monday right and for those who have been here to witness the risks as they say that those memories are unlikely to go away. i didn't sleep for two days i couldn't even fall asleep i can't recall and people screaming and i was pulling forty's away from the plane. you have guinea was one of the first at the scene his house only metres away from where the plane came down. i heard the explosion and ran outside the lights went out i ran to the site and we started rescuing people here which range where man two women and the pilot that he was dead the firemen arrived and we helped them the man we dragged away called his wife at home and he asked me to get his phone from his pocket but they say he's still alive but still in the hospital. 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 look like it's easy to blame the pilot because he's dead i think the airport itself is to blame family and friends are waiting for answers but all they can do now. he was only thirty eight. only thirty eight is remember those they've lost pets are still here r t russia's karelia region. reports suggest seven special forces officers have been killed and at least sixteen others wounded in an anti terror operation in russia's volatile north caucuses fierce fighting broke out when a group of militants have been surrounded in their hideout try to break free. has

got the latest for you. this operation is still continuing it's been going on for two d. it's all happening in the troubled republic of kyrgyzstan in the caucasus in a forest area so perhaps that that complicating the operation for the special forces is started with the authorities surrounding a group of militants but to be try to break through and that's reportedly one of the police officers were killed when two reports there's intense fighting still and losses on both sides but the figures on battle are quite different the authorities have also deployed havey all oratory including tanks and helicopters to assist them in this operation unfortunately the north caucasus is called the pickwick off terrorism. and president dmitry medvedev has been saying many times variance is one of the key wars of his administration to strengthen security in the courtis is authorities have been able to hold some successful operations in that region

including the republic of biggest 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 in big will be have been searching for since last new year's eve was plotting terrorist attack in moscow all the new year's eve 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 you're watching r t from moscow coming up a firsthand account from the libyan from we hear from a journalist who was in the region obviously days ago but who says that is not what it's see. to greece now where the prime minister's won a crucial parliamentary vote of confidence in his newly reshuffle government now though navigated 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 sarah first 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 last place of democracy but increased now the whitening gap between the aims of the people and the government is creating explosive. we are a mix of people of not political carlos and we are here all together to say that we cannot be on the vice president we are not called. the measures taken on the measures that they take for us without us and we want to take out large block demonstrations held on the central square now on a daily basis with some of the protests turning violent protests to say the suffocating take ask nothing compared to the stairs he measures if they fail

a strangling their economy the people are being refused their rights to drugs 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 the i.m.f. can dictate policy when the european when peaceably and big european union and the i.m.f. the so-called troika can come and say listen these are good these are the measures you are going to implement you are going to implement them whether you like it or not we can see you know we were facing a very peculiar form of dictatorship by the european union the european central bank and the i.m.f. 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 terms of a domino effect. around should be full and

this is their problem reason why are europeans are helping matters but in fact we are here pingers because they don't want is going to affect and because we want to take all very shores of greece. sixteen percent of the creek went full sun employees western economic conditions here increased the euro is a dream it seems is a. people worst reactors would be full of. people. 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 pace measures well then they don't have democracy anymore the government is trying to govern but the people who refuse to be governed in this way every day that disconnect becomes more and more dangerous bizzare peaceful pair both the reef

thoughts and nothing's 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 greece reach boiling point plenty 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 serve say in. italy has called for immediate cease fire in libya to allow humanitarian aid to be part of the country now that appeal comes off to make to admitted to a blogger which resulted in the deaths of civilians including children as versatile journalist michel caller who was in the country just a couple of days ago he told me nato is pursuing its own interests in the region. they killed them all civilians that the losses from the initials problems there are few small civilians the little bombings so the real i.d.'s not protect civilians to rio de these to achieve the economical strategical interest off there of the west

us in europe i mean. i mean the financial reserves of libya a pretty mind that the us is a bankrupt country and also preventing that caffie would be a sort of a turn of the i.m.f. some buying for african development the old idea is to make the public international opinion accept the idea that nato is a copy of the world or that that nato has the right to make wars where they want to 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 immunity or in war. those making the headlines tonight police fifty seven al qaeda militants have escaped managed to escape both from a jail in yemen after insurgents attacked the prison from outside the targeted security guards and seize their weapons killing at least one officer i just believe

i think the country to grow children reports that. being here inside the prettiest fortress on these days seventy years after the start of the great passion war makes you not only see the visual 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 the brochures nice 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 lots behind the inscription. on a wall i'm dying but i want so badly not even for us each year and the you are witnesses of first day of the war and the houris which after

here is the story. of 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 gennady was unaware of what was happening his father an experienced red army officer also caught flatfooted that night seventy years ago. 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 gets saying he thought it was an earthquake he grabbed his accordion and ran outside and my mom stopped him poleon this is war. the war for which the nazi military of 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 in

a hurry at the gateway to the last country they warmed the breast fortress with devastating intensity up to sixty six missiles a second archive footage from the time shows the fortress siward in had his smoke hundreds were killed in their sleep during the first minutes of the attack among them small children some survived the night on. only to be buried alive later this is my second mother when the nazis rounded up refute the strategy in villages nearby this woman save me the germans dug a mass grave into which they were about to throw women and children this woman pushed me and my man under the sturt with a german slaughter everyone around and left this woman took me out from under her skirt crossly and said i just did what god told me to. after ninety 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 he had learned 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 from that war the most precious award for me is that i stayed alive everyone was fighting like true heroes but she was survived. could i understand it four years of age nothing it's only now that i'm a father and grandfather myself that i realize what a life is worth now in a fierce pacifist i hate war i don't understand how one human being can do violence to another i live my life never doing any harm to anybody.

russia is pinning its hopes on a range of defense aircraft and civil aviation on the new sequence if it gets to gori bridge from invest cafe sees great potential for russia's newest contestant in the media market. well indeed we have seen over six hundred aircraft ordered from sukhoi superjet and this apparent success is largely due to the to the reputation of mr pakistan ahead of the time head of a corporation but out of those over six hundred aircrafts only two have actually been supplied so maybe in time before the modifications it can stand the competition from international majors such as candice bombardier and reveals in brier who also manufacture aircraft of similar specification. staying with the air show now aeroflot russian's flagship airline has ordered eight triple seven passenger jets from boeing and one point two billion dollars deal is widely seen as a turn away from any of us which provides the majority of the carriers fleet

analysts say the russian airline has obtained a fifty percent discount from bone so having a billion dollars meanwhile aeroflot is best advice for inconsistent terms in both delivery and price. you as markets are trading conservatively whedon's day with all eyes on the federal reserve is holding its regular monetary policy meeting it's widely expected to keep rates unchanged of more interest we'll be watching and better now he has to say at the subsequent press conference about the state of the u.s. economy and the european markets traded cautiously as well during wednesday's session with investors curious as to what might be the next step in solving greece's debt problems banks in london suffered with barclays and standard chartered bus down two percent and here in russia the markets closed slightly up after earlier losses and the uncertainty remained over the price of crude looking at some individual share moves on the my specs most energy majors bounce back from earlier losses with both gazprom and lukoil closing up over half

a percent meanwhile banks were down as they came under pressure across europe be losing one percent russia's diamond. rabbit diamond giant has increased its net profit by forty two percent in the first quarter of the year with one hundred thirty million dollars a result was supported by stronger production as well as a thirty thirty four percent increase in precious stone prices. russian fertiliser producer kim has posted its first quarter net profit of one hundred sixty one million dollars up from nineteen million last year revenue rose seventy percent year on year driven by stronger global demand. money has been flowing steadily out of russia for the last nine months due to risk aversion and when global investors and you state backed investment plan as part of the effort to reverse that trend and encourage foreign capital to take along with you nick paul caught up with the c.e.o. of the new found. he's started by asking him how the fund would work. the basic

idea behind the plan to spur investment because actual budget mr chairman of the african on base myself of some of the key people who traveled around the investors around the world and we asked them how would you invest much more in the russian economy and basically they say that they would like to invest more but they need to have a partner for the many people that are the first message of the russians and if the kind of the partner so we're investing there's a basic idea of the fund will invest in projects but it can invest in projects only if at least the same amount of money to school invested by the leading international investor in the project as well would be what's the broad a purpose of this fund what is it to achieve i think. many investors feel that 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 gap that basically investor staying it's more difficult and

more risk to put invest in russia doesn't actually get us so they will be a partner in that they need a partner to feel more comfortable making investment and it's very similar for example if you invest in the rig in china you know would you invest on your home or would you like to park there was a chinese sponsor so we're just making it easier to find a partner and we share the risk because russian state will deploy investment was all semester. and that's all the business for this hour will be back with more in just under an hour's time stay with us for headlines next.
