floods achieve every green little bit till. the. insinuatingly days breaking news coverage r t obtains just hearing footage of guy was recovering bodies from the bottom of the boulder river where a pleasure cruise sank on sunday. rescuers say hopes of finding anyone alive from the sunken ship have dwindled to almost nothing joyous of the rescue sites in just a moment. but the child's remains no matter who it was forty one now especially confirmed dead relatives are devastated knowing they'll never see their loved ones a lot again. and russia's president orders those responsible for the tragedy to be punished saying the terrible disaster is down to quote pockets cruising the waters

. three pm in moscow by mattress a continuing our breaking news coverage here on r t divers have started the grim task of bringing bodies to the surface of those killed when a pleasure cruiser sank on the volga river sunday earlier they reported finding more than one hundred corpses many of them children trapped inside the sunken vessel forty one people now officially confirmed dead artie's tom barton is live at the crowd at the search site with more time so twenty to forty years on it's a guess it's sad to say now that this is a work covering rather than a rescue mission tell us more about that. apparently we're having some audio trouble with tom there we'll get back with him

as soon as we have our connection well it has emerged that the pleasure cruiser was not licensed to carry passengers with official reports saying that there were two hundred eight people aboard when the ship went down far more than the vessel was designed to carry our correspondent peter oliver has more from moscow. 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 a tragedy of course of this scale reaching the highest levels of russian politics the president saying this the companies that run these kind of pleasure cruises have a duty of care to their passengers to make sure that the boats in which they travel on are in good working order to ols that they are suggestions that this boat which had actually been in the water since one thousand nine hundred fifty five may have been the me of the one of the reasons which led to this disaster the president saying that those people who were brought in these type of companies have

a responsibility to their passengers to make sure that they travel safely. if i want a prosecutor general's office to check for compliance with transport regulations the owners of the vessel the state officials that certify the vessel is suitable for cruising and generally everyone related to the organization of this cruise especially considering the fact that there were so many children on board the ship the results of that investigation should be summed up and not only in relation to this specific catastrophe but in relation to all vessels of this class and other classes as well a number of decrepit vessels cruising along all waterways is enormous and the fact that we have been lucky until yesterday doesn't mean anything like that couldn't have happened it did happen and with the most grave consequences president medvedev went on to say that the twelfth of july tomorrow will be a day of national mourning in russia in memory of those who lost their lives on this this tragic accident on the volga river the investigative committee here in

russia have opened their investigations trying to determine what caused this disaster they're saying this off their preliminary view of what went on that it was a technical fault a problem with the boat that led to the sinking however at the moment they say they can't rule anything out. that they're looking at all possibilities well we have heard they will present it yet it was told today that the ship was overloaded with passengers it was only licensed to tell you one hundred twenty people far more than not on board also the company running the license passengers on that ship these are all things that are going to be looked into in the coming days just occasion into what happened continues what we've been hearing. in the process of recovering the bodies of those who were trapped in the post as it sunk to the boss and all of the healthy river now they have had some problems due to the high currents and winds in the end 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 their hostility to bring out now in the process like that to find those you 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 of the sea speedy which the ship went down to the front so many people were 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 all the time for people to my folks not of the time people but life jackets on and mrs levy all these things coming together in meetings he was really catastrophic kind of stuff of loss of life. and with tom barton live at the search scene here in tatarstan good to have you with us so twenty four hours later if. this is

a recovery rather than a rescue operation tell us more about. it is now more of a recovery operation than a rescue operation we've been talking to the emergencies ministry officials here at that base camp on the bank of the volga. point to where the boat sank and they have shown a video taken by their teams of divers that have been going down to the boat very graphic videos showing those divers exploring the sunken ship and bringing up the bodies. of those divers and those officials have also said that they have pretty much given up hope no finding anyone still alive everywhere that they could have searched for someone who could have survived as pretty much being searched so there's also been seen huge sums told to see over the number of people homeless but it all starts from the fact that it was supposed to hold one hundred forty people but then various estimates have been given all of them

a greater than not number but they range from about one hundred sixty to maybe one hundred eighty people and now the emergencies minister himself has said that there were two hundred and eight people on not boats which is a long way over the number that it was supposed to hold. now tom we've heard about the relatives in the tragedy that they're suffering if you have all of this what have you heard from them. all right apparently we have tom can you hear me. all right apparently we have lost our collect our connection with tom barton but he earlier filed a report when he spoke with and heard from the stories of the victims. from a summer dream to a nightmare in a matter of minutes. child remained on that boat.

it was a sunday afternoon when the holiday river cruz garia run into difficulties on the volga catastrophe came swiftly as you might think of it is that people were basically buried alive in time michael coffin we 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 on the boat gary now lies at the bottom of the river the reversal sink in listen three minutes it flips 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 your 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 but my grandson will be five years old tomorrow he went on the ship to celebrate her birthday. many of the passengers were families with children on a weekend sightseeing. survivors and relatives powerless to act and now able only to wait. 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 but 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 asked her the phone. as many as fifty of the passengers were under eighteen years old hold into the boulder 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 for them turns into a living nightmare. see the ball go back central russia we just heard news into us here on our t.v. that forty two people are now. dead in this boat accident will be keeping up today with this story throughout the day here on our team so stay with us. turning now to other stories we're covering though major effort being made to restart the start israeli palestinian peace talks the middle east diplomatic quartet comprised of the u.n. russia the e.u. and the u.s. will mean washington later today we go she lived here when israel failed to renew a partial freeze on settlement construction in the west bank for palestinians who can sort of a territory there is what recognition of their state within the established one hundred sixty seven borders or his policy or visited one old arab village which is former and have it in say stands as a painful memory or injustice nestled in the mountains of jerusalem are the remains

of one community only the memories of those who once lived here have survived intact i feel is. simply. since. my car that. you could among the cacti and fit trees but in one nine hundred forty eight just before the state of israel was declared his family evacuated and like the hundreds of villages that disappeared in forty eight and sixty seven most of the original houses of lifter are still here so they really were headed to them. and sharpened. they will shoot you in the middle of the hall get a hold of people who. are another group inside the room in

a corner and then the caribbean so as to protect us you could pose 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 in london for two and one of the lists if he was forced to go just because you were rewritten he is considered as an absentee and he lost the property in the early one nine hundred fifty s. jews moved into the abandoned homes like your new york karin's they were also refugees fleeing arab countries will likely become dangerous after israel was created these really government sent him to live a gift or your niece is to prevent arab owners from returning or in their care and here. live here without water without electricity came here to jordan and for the memory here is 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 lebanese how those for forty six years all that remains are stone walls where wild flowers and grass now grow if there is empty. and it ensured that emptiness that the israeli government now plans to build more than two hundred luxury homes as she kotel shops and in museum insisting they will preserve the areas 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 luckier cook states have a stimulant and a double injustice. roy. now i need. for a new three who came from anywhere and this is why i come in my village and come

back. to america and my freedom and living. with me made me. feel kind of skinny and lifting 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 you time they try vinci jerusalem put a c r t lift plenty more for you on lighted r.t. dot com here's what's a click away right now nasa shuttle red as dots with the international space station on its final mission we delve deeper into the future of the u.s. space shuttle era. and how does your garden grow by doubt why the u.s. state of michigan is considering putting a woman behind bars if just for a veggie. while nato reports on the success of its bombing

missions in libya some countries taking part in the campaign don't share that enthusiasm many in spain say they've been dragged into the war under pressure from d.c. r.t. sarah furthur of course from madrid. we appreciate spain's contributions to enforcing the no fly zone and the arms embargo the nato led mission is on track a pat on the back for staying when everyone feels quite so please with spain's involvement in libya least of all the standish people. spanish will come and support. with spanish troops because they're not. the natural order of that and their 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 spain continues to play on 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 to sacrifice a lot introduce you to direction of course in the social sphere we think it's unfair when there is a program of material reduction of state participates in a conflict which will be damaging to become trees economy. yet the us the third secretary has still couldn't slane 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 we don't think it's a human need to. resort to to leave you now because we didn't care a. great year ago when we. leave the. equipment the libyan people had right a year ago and we've been. welcomed in spain in recent years gadhafi was even awarded the keys to the city and in a special visit to madrid he turned there is that so many western countries until

recently he could to get out they and tolerated his regime. think that the operation against libya is an action performed so. the strategic interests of the major powers such an example of double standards of morals cannot be justified by the international community the team members and selves 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 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 stuff and most of those apartments and. now those here in spain who oppose nato military intervention in libya they that of course they don't support the dictatorship but

they also think support their country being dragged into a war but they themselves are still fighting for tough economic conditions. r.t. if you're it. as announced it's withholding some eight hundred million dollars of military aid from pakistan ties between the two countries have been strained since since osama bin laden's killing in may in a covert operation despite the aid cut washington insists its relationship must be made to work over time journalist ahmed peroration believes the differences will not easily be ironed out i don't think we're seeing any signs that the. really sincere of the relationship. as a relationship with the other. people whether ten years ago. it was really very hard to find a fleet in cliched box criticizing the united states it was it was taken for

granted if you're criticizing the us humans be some gratitude screams today who have people from the upper classes of pakistan really lead and very very critical of the united states so i think there's something really wrong and i think there is a huge responsibility. of the us media to convey the right church to the american people you can which is unfortunately they're not doing their very much telling the world ever. line of us government so i think i don't see in the near future many of the serious differences with some in the united states. i least five people have been killed after a plane was forced to make an emergency landing on water in eastern siberia there were thirty six people who aboard the engine which got into trouble after reporting a fire and one of its engines twenty five survivors had been taken to the hospital four of them suffering severe injuries the plane made its landing on the river and
