ever known i do not understand maybe it's for the want to have to happen. the russian premier league football referee bloody near by just one of the forty four killed monday night when he didn't call everyone three four carrying fifty two people from moscow bettors a void 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 the hospital died i was shocked it's awful my late husband was a pilot he had landed planes at 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 bird chorus that reminds people of the tragedy that struck on monday night and for those who have been here to witness the risk seems 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 bodies away from the plane. you have guinea was one of the first at the scene his house only meters away from where the plane came down. and i heard the explosion and graham outside lights went out i ran to the site and we started pursuing people here we drank where two women and the pilot he was dead 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. it's easy to blame the pilot because he's dead i think the airport itself is to blame for family and friends are waiting for answers but all they can do now is remember

after a life in their native town became a nightmare. it's not safe there anymore it's become dangerous and it's not only because of explosions and gunshots one day people from the government and then you call them rebels we call them terrorists came to me and told me we have to arrest your daughter because we know that she supports could. these cave has been long and hard for they were in the family well that number was their governor i had to hide for some time from them as they've been searching for me then we knew there was a blast coming from benghazi to tennessee or the bus with the rebels for their purposes we took that bus with our faces covered and everybody was against gadhafi on it we told them that we were also against him and a lot of sentiment son was rather. a surgeon has also for the city he says they've made three attempts on his life but he only finally left when he saw a killing. from from or from your killing him in front of your own.

on the world. because the doctor says people from the national transitional council were behind it this is the rebels official political body said are part of the revolution in libya started in the lead february its members are recognized by many countries throughout the world as the alus intimate representatives of libya the very. very. so. there you are i give this. about freedom democracy there is no freedom or democracy there is just war. the refugees here say they now finally feel safe but it's not that safe from the side of the frontline either. these people have gathered in the west of tripoli to bury those killed in. stripey called in to lead and government officials a barn landed on the private compound and threatening to kill fifteen people

including three key aides this conflict has to come to an end immediately which is very unlikely to happen any time soon. ground in these symmetries still fresh while major has already claimed to be rationed to protect civilians must go on with clashes continuing and benghazi and nato intensify in its bombardment of tripoli both eastern and western parts of the country are perilous to say and people are dying on both sides of the front line going to hear on the ground fear that's when the democracy the west talks about will finally come here they'll not be enough people left to experience it. r.t. reporting from western libya investigative journalist michael cohen says nader one beautifully the lack of by concerned fourth of millions in its ultimate aim to control really is resources. mall civilians that's the losses from the

initials problems there fumes most civilians the nato bombings so the real i.d.'s not protect civilians the deed is to achieve the economy close touch as you call it interest off there of the west us in europe i mean the oil i mean the financial reserves of libya i remind the us see these divine crypts going treat and also preventing that kind of thing who would be a sort of to do i.m.f. some buy in for african development the whole idea is to make the public international opinion accept the idea that nato is a cup of the world over that that nato has the right to make walls where they want to revisit the people in hospitals and we saw victims and in the vicinity in book relation is that must be very clear it has nothing to do with immunity or more with marty live from moscow still have for you this hour of fighting terror. i was

hoarse. and i was. an ass one time to a prisoner who fell victim to unlawful treatment and ask why european citizens and several here have said the tory is camp without trial. plus japan's nuclear disaster under-estimated we visit city declared safe by the authorities by radiation levels there are one thousand times the norm. e.u. leaders have agreed on a new bailout for greece but only after a strict budget cuts are imposed a vote on a proposed twenty billion euro stary plan is expected on wednesday if approved it will also mean another a tranche of last year's bailout will be handed over to greece the latest developments prompted immediate reaction from your escape. hello mark buehrle in brussels for the ailing single currency they argue that attempts to bail out greece

are too little too late and they have a crisis will help bring about the downfall of the eurozone. if we just keep pumping money into greece it's only putting off the death of their economy they are already bankrupt we have to wake up and smell the coffee and say enough is enough greece is going to go ireland's going to go portugal and of course the big one that everyone is worried about is the state of spying that is one of our banks like guard troops have been reducing our liabilities in spain because clearly the property slump in spain is not bigger than a spanish government is telling people they say there's only been a drop of eighteen percent how do radio shows in spain people losing seventeen percent sixty percent in the fire you have their homes and their developments spain will be the next one to topple but why should we the u.k. taxpayer pay energy to the german taxpayer pay for the ineptitude of the greek government. well as the greek crisis unravels publicly worry continues to spill

into the streets of athens and other strikes planned to coincide with the vote next week so here is a lecture at the university of. the return to a national currency could be the way out of greece. the problem is we cannot do it we are giving billion lifeline for them but the biggest part of which is good and to be used to repay debt to repay previous do this is totally absurd it is for the benefit of greek people to come i mean media it takes it from the europe from the eurozone the euro is a monetary absurdity in a way it's a closely irrational financial and monetary architecture that is also a contributing factor to the debt crisis and in general to social crisis in greece so i think that going back to a national care in seeing

a new regaining public control in a way national control of monetary policy is a very necessary step to be taking it is not a road to disaster as the government is saying on the contrary it's going to be a very positive step. the far right that's politician geert wilders has been cleared of charges of inciting hatred and discrimination well versed went on trial for comments on his lawn he made in a public debate he compared the religion to nonsense and called for a ban on the koran the court ruled remarks because we were offensive by didn't break any law and immigration sentiment is on the rise of europe was e.u. leaders agree on friday to tighten border controls within the union member of the european parliament phil kleist says was not a cultural is politics failing it may be time for more radical solutions. we've always been told that multiculturalism was going to be great and was going to solve a lot of problems on the contrary it has become a problem in itself and it's very important that everyone should be able to know to

put forward his own solutions to the problem another challenge and free debate from outside of europe to come to any country in the european union and shoot it up themselves to the local also local way of live. as the romans do this is very important. you know and in reality it does not work in europe. big problems in major cities major capitals in western europe where we see parallel societies that have emerged you know with so many people who don't feel they have got themselves to the way of living in the country they went to and so this has to change i think we need a much more restrictive immigration and integration policy and i could buy more opinions on that story on our web site r t v dot com now let's take a look at what else is available for you there right now i russian gymnastics

be possible to lower that figure to three percent the president said that this is needed to boost political competition and help modernize the country seven percent threshold was introduced in two thousand and seven by his predecessor was important . well helping to give that competition some fresh impetus is sort of russia's richest man who has set his sights on politics we have progress has been elected leader of the right cause party which plans to run in december parliamentary elections it's calling for a more liberal russia proper of himself didn't want to call it an opposition party he spoke exclusively to the billionaire he says he wants to be the prime minister. and not the kind of person who change the dream or plunge into illusions we have particular goals to get into russia's lower house of parliament with a national number one i also understand is that i could be a good prime minister if the party successful i would fight for disposition.

united kingdom in iraq in february two thousand and four the u.k. handed him to the united states in march and april there were discussions between the u.s. and the u.k. because the u.s. wanted descendant of the u.k. didn't object despite the fact that at this time even the abu ghraib photos broke making it absolutely clear to anyone who had any doubt what was happening to prisoners in u.s. detention the u.k. says that it learned quote unquote in june of that year june two thousand and four that my client had been sent to bob graham and although there was an ammo you kind of deal between the u.s. and the u.k. that permits the u.k. to get him out of custody and never bothered to do so so we've had to sue them in the united kingdom courts in haiti as corpus to tell them you have to get this prisoner back he never should have been sent out of iraq he was rendered on lawfully in violation of the geneva conventions and you have a responsibility to him he's your prisoner. meanwhile a similar scandal has engulfed of european union back in two thousand and one e.u.

they raise the. standard so that they can say it's safe. actually the standard has changed the new higher levels mean that fukushima can be closed is being outside of the exclusion zone some say that evacuating the city would be simply impractical given the huge numbers of people affected to try and mitigate the circumstances to some degree a group of scientists have teamed up to find simple ways to reduce the radiation levels. we're just trying to do. project. by ourselves and we are not using especially when we just use normal charles. scoops. we just keep. a small effort to bring some security to a community facing a scary and uncertain future and from kashima city sean thomas our team. of
