are watching r.t. straight to our top story it's reported that rescue divers found the bodies of more than one hundred people in a pleasure boat that sank. russia's republic of tatarstan thirty of them children search and rescue teams have worked throughout the night operation continues today lottie's time bombs monitoring the rescue efforts the hunt is still ongoing for any possible survivors the account that the emergencies ministry has set up behind me next to the ball go on a small beach chair a small boats keep coming to and from this site and they're part of the largest search effort this is screening the area where the ball carrier river pleasure cruiser sank to try and find any people still in the water below that looks looking increasingly unlikely now all scattered on some of the small islands around where

the boat sank we heard from one of their spokesman earlier about what they found when they reached the scene of a sunken pleasure cruise a. hole and waited for an answer but unfortunately there was not being the foolish lights of the cargo hold the restrooms and. the scene that unfolded yesterday was one of a quiet sunday afternoon river cruise along the volga many many people do this is very popular among tourists in the summer to travel along the vulgar in pleasure cruises upstream was its final destination and then around two pm the ship got into difficulties and whatever happened of the ship actually sank within three minutes it was such a fast sinking that the chaos that ensued on board caused much of the problems that we see now. there were many children on board the ship it seems maybe

a third of the passengers. on board the ship were children just hours just before the ship began to sank sink a group of about thirty children had gathered on one of the upper decks in the play room to hold either a party or gathered to play together in the play room a lot of eyewitnesses reported that those children because there were so many of them in various parts of the ship they struggled to get out and some of the eyewitnesses accounts have been extremely harrowing of families torn apart in the struggle to try and escape into the water not even time for people to put their life jackets on on the sun some families even having to leave their own children behind on the sinking ship with the vessel sank within three minutes it flips to the right swerved and went down we were literally thrown out that's how we survived our whole family was on that ship we lost everybody my wife and grandchildren two

vessels have passed by and didn't even care to stop and reach out a helping hand we spent around two hours in the water before we were rescued i swam around searching for any survivors and couldn't find anybody there were a lot of children on the ship they were all in the games room it was impossible for them to get out of there my grandson. be five years old tomorrow we went on this trip to celebrate his birthday. through thick of it. people basically buried alive as if in a metal sickle forgets we managed to get through the windows i was there with my ten year old daughter and i couldn't risk her she swallowed too much water when it was pulled out a realised my child was absent with don't know where to look for survivors there were a lot of children on board even more than adults might only can run into me and my husband two or three minutes before the sheep sound and told us please we'll live checketts as the vessel is simkin i couldn't believe it. we were

telephoning everyone trying to learn anything about our dear ones we called the police but they said to contact the search and rescue service we did but there was no reply so we came here to find out at least something but even here nobody knows anything but it's horrible we haven't the slightest knowledge of what's going on they should give us at least some information we're calling the search and rescue service but i don't answer the phone when people were able to get off the ship into the water they found that their troubles were unfortunately far from over the point of which the ship sunk was three kilometers from the nearest bank and the river the river there the volga is immensely wide is around ten kilometers wide at that point so anyone in the water would have an awful job trying to get to the bank some of them may have sheltered on that small islands around the ship and waited there and the search is still ongoing for them but it's fear that many of the people especially children who got into the water may have drowned in the rivers strong

currents but soon after the ship sank a lot of the people in the water were very dismayed to see two ships pass by them or not pick up anyone it's not quite known why that was yet but the third ship did arrive and did start to pick people up. we can hear from someone who was on board that ship now. we were passing by and heard the lone man overboard we mediately started to lower the rescue boat on to the water to bulgaria sink so quickly it couldn't lower its own boat so we keep everybody up in the water it's a lucky coincidence move pulling the gary and his two other ships didn't even stop to help. us one hundred people are still missing and the human tragedy which is unfolding here is far from over on the banks or in the water but people here on the banks that are waiting we're trying to speak to them they really don't want to speak to cameras they're holding their heads down in silence they are

in agony waiting for any possible news or very relative and they're terrified that their relatives are never going to be heard from again. still no official account as to why the ship went down cover efforts are under way at the start of disaster details on the progress of the operation cross-talk correspondent peter oliver of peter what are officials saying about this holding out much hope of finding anyone else alive. and well as we just heard there from michael crowley tom barton we have made a grisly discovery in the past few moments. rescue work is saying that they discovered what they believe to be around one hundred bodies. around thirty of them believed to be children trapped they were trapped in the lower decks of this pleasure cruiser that was going through the tar to stand section of the volga river . now that rescue effort is continuing there still is hope that they they will

find some people alive though if you were listening to tom's report you may have heard that there are many islands around this area of the volga river and rescuers are hoping that some people who were able to escape the sinking ship were able to seek refuge. on those islands. but as it stands at the moment the rescue efforts and the rest of the efforts of investigators all being whump is key to bad weather divers that are in i looking into the lower deck solve the ship that is now at the balsam all of the the volga river facing difficulties to too high winds strong currents and the fact that the ship is is leaking fuel which makes it incredibly difficult for them to get on with with a. good rescue is say that they haven't given up hope yet by finding anybody else still a life. of rescue operations are being carried out sure divers started at first light while police are operating twenty four hours

a day there is as yet no information about those who have drowned rescue operations are still ongoing some people might have been able to swim to the islands there are many islands about a kilometer away from where the ship sank rescuers will continue their search until everyone is found. so while that rescue effort continues president dmitry medvedev has ordered for a full investigation into what happens and the minister of the emergencies ministry here in russia is demanding they say a full report on exactly what went on and why the ship was able to go to the falls such a tragic course of events that report be on his desk as soon as possible. rather the main goal man is to survey the sureness divide them into sectors with people responsible for each area all the island should be checked for survivors and i want to see a final report only once we know for certain there's no one there. well

one of the main reasons that we've seen such a tragic outcome from this was just the speed in which this both. sank around three minutes we're hearing from them first realizing oh we're in trouble until it's found its way to the bottom of the volga river. but peter is everything being said asked the possible cause of the tragedy. well it's very early days out the moment. for. both wanting investigations to be carried out to find out what exactly. tragedy. one of the suggestions that's been floated has to do with the number of people who were actually on that ship now the ship in question was licensed to carry one hundred twenty people we are hearing that could be as many as two hundred people on board now we have heard that. a vast majority of those on

board were children the company the. organizing that was operating this pleasure cruise will be coming under extreme street and you know that's not the only course of events that could have caused this tragedy of course they are looking into. may have been some form of. damage to the ship some form of technical failure that led to this tragedy. thank you for that. and in fact we can give you some more information about the ship itself the about gerunds it was called the double decker pleasure boat from which fifty five ship was used for day trips along. with tourists in summer months attention has been aid to the vessel and speculation it could have played a role in the tragedy had not been updated for more than fifty years. confirmed it. was deemed to be safe the engines and rescue.

the vessel was also capable of travelling at speeds of twenty two kilometers. up to date with the rescue operation throughout the day here. other news now. a major effort is being made to kick start the stall the palestinian israeli peace talks these diplomatic what's heads comprised of the un russia european union and the u.s. will meet in washington later today. ground to a halt last year when israel failed to renew a partial freeze on settlement construction in the west bank palestinians who consider that territory their own want recognition of a state within the established one hundred sixty seven borders ortiz's all us live as it is one of our ability which its former inhabitants a stones as a painful memory to injustice. mistletoe in the mountains of jerusalem are the

remains of a once bustling out community only the memories of those who once lived here have survived intact i feel is. back to bring. my village. to think hard since this. also. my. year could audit grew up among the cacti and fick trees thirty nine hundred forty eight just before the state of israel was declared his family evacuated unlike the hundreds of arab villages they disappeared in forty eight and sixty seven most of the original houses of lifter are still here so they really were headed. and child . bride they will shoot to the middle of the hall with a whole group a whole. hour another inside the room in a corner and then the table so as to prove to us you could was one of seven hundred

thousand palestinians who became a refugee in one nine hundred forty eight his childhood home was quickly absorbed by the newly established jewish state almost every palestinian who lived his house in london for the vocalists if he was forced to do just because he was rewritten here he is considered as absently he lost the property in the early one nine hundred fifty s. jews moved into the abandoned homes like you only or hundreds parents they were also refugees fleeing arab countries will likely become dangerous after israel was created the israeli government sent him to live in lifter your lease is to prevent arab owners from returning or in the term here and therefore live here years without water without electricity came here. for the memory here as a very important most of the original two hundred jewish families lived because

life in the mountains was difficult and the government was slow to develop the area no one has lived in is how this for forty six years all that remains are stone walls we wildflowers and grass now grow if there is empty. and get into that emptiness that israeli government now plans to build more than two hundred luxury homes a ship hotel shops and a museum insisting they'll preserve the area's history we will find ourselves with a neighborhood where history has been concert there will also be documentation and the story will be told of who lived there as we do in all the neighborhoods of jerusalem but many like you could say tst had a stimulant and a double injustice. to destroy our. yanni. for every three room came from anywhere in the way i got in my village and come back. through back to my reading and

living. with me. so i had a stimulus lifter is a physical the mind of injustice and survival for a fair number of israelis it's an eyesore and they'd rather not be reminded of what happened here every time they drive into jerusalem policy r.t. lifter. while nato reports on the success of it sprawling missions over libya some countries taking part of the campaign don't share that info the us are fighting them a crisis at home and in spain say they've simply been dragged into war and the pressure from washington to surf reports of madrid. we appreciate spain's contributions to enforcing the no fly zone and the arms embargo the nato led mission is on track but that's on the back. everyone feels quite say please with spain's

involvement in libya least of all for spanish people. spanish government support. with spanish troops because they're not little. or the right and the parliament and the government but not the public opinion recent polls have shown a large majority of the population and now against the military campaign this thing continues to play on the abyss of economic crisis political and public eye rest has been growing. it's been carried out in the conditions of a tough economic crisis and conditions when the government had to sacrifice a lot introduce hundred option of course and the social sphere we think at some further when there is a program of material aid reduction participates in a conflict which will be damaging to the country's economy. yet the u.s. defense secretary has still couldn't sustain among others to play a more active role in the nato mission and despite the collapse of the housing

market and with unemployment at critical level spain has in destiny extended its mandate for involvement in libya i don't think it's a human need to. resort to go to media now because we didn't care about human rights year ago when we. leave. the equipment libyan people have right here and go and we've been here welcomed in spain in recent years he was even awarded the keys to the city on an official visit to madrid the ten year is that of many western countries until recently he could be and tolerated his regime. the operation against libya is an action performed song. the strategic interests of the major powers such an example of double standards of morals cannot be just defined by the international community the team members and selves have taken very different views of how the action being taken in

libya less than half the countries even taking part the pressure on participants like spain to increase their involvement a commitment they simply can't afford right now. evidence of the internal struggles the country is facing it's not hard to find here on the outskirts of madrid you can see signs everywhere the pre-crisis construction boom much of that works now starts and most of those apartments. now those parents spain who oppose nato military intervention in libya say that of course they don't support the dictatorship but they also you think support their country being dragged into a war while they themselves are still fighting such tough economic conditions. r.t. if you're it. the u.s. has announced it's withholding some eight hundred million dollars of military age from pakistan ties between psychiatrist and strained since the sum of their

knowledge is killing me in a secret mission scotney a washington since the relationship must be made to record the time a journalist. believes the differences will not be easily on doubt i don't think we're seeing any signs that the u.s. officials are really sincere about the relationship. as a relationship we. were together ten years ago. it was really very hard to find a clean clean shaven study criticizing the united states it was it was taken for granted if you're criticizing the u.s. you must be some radical extremists but today you have people from the upper classes of pakistan be relieved and very very critical of the united states so i think there's something really wrong and i think. he's responsibility also on the eve of the u.s.

media convey the right to the american people which is unfortunately they're not doing their very much telling the whatever. line of government so i think i don't see the near future many of the serious differences between pakistan and the united states. around some other world news in greece now a huge explosion struck a military base in cyprus killing at least eight people in schools nor were injured at the camp it's in the coastal cities of massaro nanuk or two containers of gunpowder reportedly cause the blasts inside munitions that fire from explosions as lead to widespread power cuts and spark while far as a nearby school. media mogul rupert murdoch is in london to take personal charge of the crisis threatening to ruin his part for the closure of the u.k.'s news of the world newspaper and it won't hurt him this terrible its chief executive rebecca brooks despite mounting pressure for her to be sacked from tim your own uncle said

not only usual in india poor maintenance and human error said. remind our breaking news this hour divers have discovered the bodies of more than one hundred people trapped in the pleasure boat cycle of all the river. so there are thirty. eighty people rescued some. of the survivors say the ship went down within minutes. by a person who's brought to the region is tough because distraught relatives are waiting for any information on their loved ones such as we're going for several hours rescuers say the chances of having anyone else alive. but of course we'll have more of that story throughout the day here ulti time out of the business.

thank you carrie hello and welcome to business r t russia has increased its annual crude oil production for courts to five hundred and nine million tons however the quality of russian oil products is still very low and it's becoming more and more urgent for russia to modernize its refinery capacity and prime minister apparently is going to make sure it will happen as such anabolic or ports. prime minister was obviously unsatisfied that rush hour the world's biggest oil producer has such a weak or refighting industry he says it's too as it was fifty years ago to monsoreau hike well it's a few in russia grows at double digit rates annually however refining hasn't caught up either in volumes or in quality experts say legislation russia made it more profitable for oil producers to explore its crude oil low quality oil products but now putin says the measures to reverse the trend will be taken. only when you do we

need to monitor the implementation of the modernization plans by the oil companies and if you do not meet their obligations this state will have the right to ply sanctions including the seizure of them received real change. just to remind you in may a russia banned exports of high quality fuel the country was facing gasoline shortage domestically as producers chose to exports more cashing in on the high oil prices now with the russian economy picking up and growing even faster than expected to march for high quality fuel is expected to grow as more than ten per cent annually and the prime minister made it absolutely clear producers will have to invest billions of dollars to more than ours their refining capacity. than let's have a look at the markets now on is expanding norse's after a decline in demand of last week brant plant is trading at tire hundred seventeen dollars per barrel while they doubt the chinese are ninety five k.m.'s. h.
