brehm because if he saw the results and spoke. in this real look he's available in some of the telltale derrius son of an hotel jerusalem. for following breaking news on r t r t obtains disturbing images of divers recovering bodies from the bottom of the volga river where a pleasure cruise sank on sunday. rescuers have almost given up hope of finding anyone alive join us here at the scene of the rescue operations in just a few minutes. but even with those close to her mind. this. is the relatives are devastated fearing they may never see their loved ones again. but russia's president orders those responsible for the tragedy to be punished

saying the terrible disaster down to ancient and coves crews for the last. two pm in moscow i match reza you're watching breaking news here on r t divers have started bringing bodies to the surface of those killed when a pleasure cruise sank on the volga river sunday earlier they reported finding more than one hundred corpses trapped inside the ship party's town garden it's like with us at the search site hello tom so it's been twenty four hours now since the boat went down at this point can we say to the rescue operation that the operation has moved from a rescue effort to a recovery effort. i think that would be fair to say mass at the moment the murders the services people we have said spoken to they've still running boats behind me

from this little strip of sand they've been doing it hour in our out going out to the ball going to try and search the area a little eyelets around where. they thought people might have gone to and by chance anyone on any beaches or parts of the water they've not found anything so far that they hope seems to be dwindling that they are going to find any survivors now so the focus is seems to be moving towards going to the ship and trying to go inside it and recover the bodies that are suspected to be inside inside that ship the journey of the ship and the way that it the way that it sank is has been the focus of a lot of questions a lot of speculation but i think that at the moment this rescue operation has i suppose starts now what about the relatives of the victims here it's really difficult to imagine what they must be going through right now but if you've been

hearing from them. absolutely if you envisage the situation at two pm yesterday afternoon really nothing is out of the ordinary this ship will be bold the area is one of many that go up and down on pleasure cruise is up and down the volga it's very popular in on the border in russia in summer time however about two pm something went very wrong it's still not sure exactly what went wrong but the result was that the ship sank in three minutes such a fast sinking meant that a desperate scramble and chaos above and below decks ensued to try and get off the ship and the result was that families trying to get off and save each other and themselves were torn apart we'll. personal stories that we heard from survivors one was one of the very few children survivors a five year old boy who said that. he had lost his mother he

also lost his grandmother both of them. as far as he could tell drowned he was thrown into the water and he was going to go under and drown himself he only saved himself by clutching at a hand he could see and it was the hand of a man who managed to drag him to safety but that man himself had lost his pregnant wife another man heard the alarm to evacuate it was all but too late when the alarm came. his wife who was also pregnant ran off to try and help her friends he lost her he's never seen her again he thinks that she was dead he could manage to grab his son and jump overboard with him into the water the water was so cold in the car and so strong that his sons that from his arms and he saw his son drown in front of his own eyes these are the kind of personal stories that are of this that this very sudden sinking forced upon people suddenly and out of but out of the blue

and we've seen people today standing around here and also a lot of. and survivors have come to. the upstream from here to try and find out what on earth has happened to their relatives any s. any tidbit of news that they could find largely they have been disappointed the emergency is ministry has not been able to supply them with that with any details as yet but we have received video from the emergencies ministry or lots of divers have been arriving and they've been working in shifts hour in our out to try to explore this sunken ship and there are quite dramatic pictures of them bringing up bodies from the ship which really confirms a lot of fears also one fear which is touching quite a lot of people more than just any old. sinking is the fact that there were a lot of children on board possibly a bird possibly up to fifty children in the upper decks had gone to join

a play group of some sort minutes before the ship the ship sunk and it's feared that because there were so many of those children in one place very few of them were able to get out emergencies ministry says probably one of them. there's also been allegations that have swirled around this it's difficult to corroborate these at the moment some people some survivors witnesses have said that the emergency exits were blocked on the ship and one staff member on the ship who wanted to remain anonymous has said that they informed because it's in of the ship that one of its engines wasn't working when it set off the start of the of his journey and that it was leaning slightly to the right and he decided that wasn't a real threat and pushed on with the journey so there are various allegations swirling around sad to say that none of those are going to do anything to help the grief and the trauma of these people waiting for any news of their loved ones.

from a summer dream to a nightmare in a matter of minutes. our child remained on that boat. it was a sunday afternoon when the holiday river cruiser area run into difficulties on the volga catastrophe came swiftly as you think of it didn't people who were basically buried alive in china metal coughing he managed to get out through the windows i was there with my ten year old daughter i couldn't rescue her she swallowed too much water when i was pulled out i realized my child was gone. the whole garia now lies at the bottom of the rig with a pretty good missile same glisten three minutes it flipped to the right password and went down and we were literally thrown out and that's how we survived our whole family was on that ship we lost everybody my wife and my grandchildren two vessels 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 survivors and couldn't find anybody so there were a lot of children on the ship they were all in the games room it was impossible for me to get out of there my grandson would be five years old tomorrow he went on the ship to celebrate with birthday. many of the passengers were families with children on a weekend sightseeing great survivors and relatives powerless to act i'm now able only to wait. we think we are 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 that even here nobody knows anything. 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 answer the phone.

as many as fifty of the passengers were under eighteen years old hold into the volga three kilometers but these people behind me are just some of the relatives desperate for news about their loved ones and what was a pleasure boat cruise has for them turned into a living nightmare. see it all go back central russia. now words come out that the pleasure boat was not licensed to carry passengers with russia's emergencies minister now saying that there were two hundred eight people aboard for more details on all those we go live to our he's people are standing by here in moscow so peter do we know anything about what could have caused this tragedy. while the investigation is underway to try and determine what resulted this in this catastrophic loss of life on the fall of the river. well president dmitri medvedev has been very vocal on the subject the tragedy of course of this scale reaching the highest levels of russian politics the president saying this and the companies that

run these kind of pleasure cruises have a duty of care to their passengers to make sure that the boats and which they travel on always good working order aren't too old to be all suggestions that this boat which had actually been in the water since one thousand nine hundred fifty five may have been the that may have been one of the reasons which led to this disaster the president saying that those people who will run these type of companies have a responsibility to their passengers to make sure that they travel safely. it was the good even though because. i would like prosecutor general's office it was within its authority to run a check on compliance of the transports great relations but both world wars of the specific vessels the sort of super glue and the state officials. which cauterized it clears the first hole for traveling under these circumstances to put it in good uses which was used to shoot it. everyone related to the organization of the

solution sure he was specially considering the fact there were so many children on board the bus to the older results was due to should be some kids and not only in relation to this specific catastrophe group of course but also regarding own personal selfish firsts in all classes and search for mostly because of the number of old pockets travelling. along our rivers is enormous in the shed where we. had been lucky. for your state it doesn't mean this couldn't have happened some it did happen and were the most grave consequences. president medvedev went on to say that the twelfth of july tomorrow will be a bay of national mourning in russia in memory of those who lost their lives on this this tragic accident on the volga river well the investigative committee here

in russia have opened their investigation trying to determine what caused this disaster they're saying most of their view of what went on that it was a they believe it was a technical fault a problem with the boat that led to this to the to this the sinking of the ship on leave on the volga river however at the moment they say they can't rule anything out but they're looking at all possibilities well we have heard they were present when it was told today that the ship was overloaded with passengers it was only licensed the party one hundred twenty people far more than not on board also. the company running this to a license to have passengers on that ship these are all things that are going to be looked into in the coming days and weeks first occasion into what happened continues. and what's the current situation of the operation on the river. probably been hearing that divers are in the process of recovering the bodies of those who

were trapped in the post as it sunk to the bottom of the healthy river now they have had some problems due to see the well high currents and high winds in the in the area also the fact that the ship is leaking fuel that may all this comes together to make their job a lot more difficult they are starting to bring out now in the process of identifying those who died will be getting under way. we are hearing though from the emergencies ministry they say that it's very unlikely that any survivors any more survivors will be found at the time being. sure the one you. gave was a sweep in the bottom of the river the boats being searched by sectors index to examine it closer but there is never a bad visibility the waves are quite high and this is also making the one of the difficult part in charge specialist there is almost no chance of finding any more

survivors so both banks and the ship will be checked. by the sea speed in which the ship went down no doubt led to refer to so many people trapped on board just three minutes we're hearing from when they they first realized they had a problem too to the ship making its way to the bottom of the fall the not enough time for people to lower my fault not enough time people put life jackets on and this is the all these things coming together leading to was really catastrophic couldn't stop loss of life. has been or are on top of the story for us in moscow thanks for that report. and stay with us here on our till we are t. will be keeping you up to date on the rescue and recovery operation throughout the day. during our some of the other day's top stories a major effort being made to kickstart the stalled palestinian israeli peace talks the middle east diplomatic quartet comprised of the u.n. russia the european union and the u.s. will meet in washington later today to go she ground to

a halt last year when israel failed to renew a partial freeze on settlement building in the west bank palestinians who consider that territory of their own right recognition of their state within the established nine hundred sixty seven borders or his policy or visited one old arab village it which its former inhabitants say stands as a painful memory to injustice. nestled in the mountains of jerusalem are the remains of a once passing community only the memories of those who once lived here have survived intact i think it's. come back and sensibly. since the split in. among the cacti and fixed trees but a nine hundred forty eight just before the state of israel was to cage his family

evacuated unlike the hundreds of villages that disappeared in forty eight and sixty seven most of the original houses of lifter are still here so they only we had two thousand. and so. they will shoot through the middle of the hall with the whole group of. our mother took us inside the room in a corner and the so the group with us here 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 nicholas the man who lived in london for two and if he was forced to do that just because he. didn't. consider those absently he lost the property in the early one nine hundred fifty s. jews moved into the abandoned homes like you or your husband's parents they were also refugees fleeing arab countries will likely become dangerous after israel was

created the israeli government sent him to live a gift or your lease is to prevent arab owners from returning or in their care and here and there for live here year without water without electricity came here. and for the memory here as a very important most of the original two hundred jewish families left because life in the mountains was difficult and the government was slow to develop the area no one has lived in is how those for forty six years all that remains are stone walls we wild flowers and grass now grow if there is empty. i didn't see that emptiness that the israeli government now plans to build more than two hundred luxury homes a chic hotel shops and the museum insisting they'll preserve the areas history we will find ourselves with a neighborhood where history has been conserved 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 maybe like a could say it's palestinian land and a double injustice why you want to destroy our. now only. four of the only three rude came from anywhere in the way i come in my liege and come back. and look. and. feel kind of skinny and lift is a physical the mind of injustice and survival but for a fair number of israelis it's an eyesore and they'd rather not be reminded of what happened if we time they try to jerusalem put a c r t lift. there's plenty more for you on line r.t. dot com here's what's a click away right now nasa shuttle atlantis docks with the international space

spanish troops because they're not. there not to order that and the parliament and the government not the public opinion recent polls have shown a large majority of the population and now against the military campaign in the spring continues to square in the abyss of economic crisis political and public eye rest. it's been carried out in the conditions of a tough economic crisis and conditions when the government had to sacrifice i want to introduce huge reduction of course in the social sphere i think it's unfair that when there is a program of material aid reduction and state participates in a conflict which will be damaging to the country's economy. yet the u.s. defense secretary has still couldn't spain 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 indefinitely extended its mandate for involvement in libya i don't think it's a few minutes to. greece to go to the view now because we didn't care about the

human rights year ago when we were. leaving. the equipment the libyan people have right a year ago and. welcomed in spain in recent years gadhafi was even awarded the keys to the city and in a special visit in the trades the ten year is that of many western countries until recently he caught a get out they and tolerated his regime. think of the operation against libya as an action film so we have the strategic interests of the major powers such an example of double standards of morals cannot be justified by the international community and eighteen members themselves have taken very different views about the action being taken in libya with less than half the countries even taking part the pressure on participants like spain to increase their involvement by commitment they simply can't afford right now. evidence of the internal struggles the country
