on that boat short relatives struggled to accept how their loved ones were dragged to their deaths when the ball garia sank in open water during a weekend trip. to be watching r t four mos who is now nine pm it's kevin owen here with you this hour and the main news there how rowing development in the volga river tragedy in the last few hours divers say they've seen the bodies of up to forty children in the music hall of a sunken pleasure cruiser two hundred seven people were on board that boat got into trouble more than half of them have died in a few minutes time out is no telling of a cover of mostly how the investigation hopes wrong cover how the disaster happened first though let's get up to date with tom barton he's near the rescue operation h.q. in tartus. tom very good evening the discovery of these young victims is the confirmation

of so many people where you are didn't want to hear it. absolutely kevin the people here have been waiting an hour upon hour with their heads down they haven't wanted to talk to us the media and this is exactly what they were fearing the most some of them may be related to these a young victims some of them to other victims on board the boat some of them may still not have heard about the people they love but this is certainly a great blow and puts a lot of confirmation of the fears of rescuers and their like none of those children inside that room managed to escape the the people looking inside the boat trying to piece together what may have happened and people have been asking questions about what may have happened so if we try and glance back at the journey that this pope took. yesterday about two pm in the afternoon it was sailing along

the volga river cruise location lots of lots of people on the weekends on the holidays and some a light to go along that when the boat got very rapidly into trouble and when i say very rapidly the whole thing had gone underwater in under three minutes this is what gave rise to such a terrible death toll the fact that people didn't even have time to port on their life jackets or to organize a proper kind of evacuation before the water was on them or they had to jump into the water families were torn asunder and the fact that all these children remain in this room is testament to that some personal stories that we have heard from the few people who have been willing to talk one five year old boy who was rescued i think the only child that was actually rescued had lost his mother and his grandmother in the water he was in the water himself and was sure he was going to drown he saw a hand reach down. took it it was that of a man he didn't know

a man who rescued him and brought him to safety but a man who lost his own pregnant wife another man also with a pregnant wife lost her on board she went to try and help friends the only person who had next to him other than that was his young son who he jumped into the water with but the current was too strong the water was too cold and his son was swept out of his arms and he had to watch his son drown in front of his own eyes these are some of the stories that people have been hearing from what had happened and this is just a confirmation of all that but they the seen through and we heard from one of the survivors earlier about their ordeal. one you know you know you the board leans a bit there are three of them in the cabin my son my daughter in law and my grandson my son said he tried to open the cabin still holding his child when the wave crashed into them and he lost grip of my grandson he says you swim towards the light and made it out alive but i can't find my grandson or daughter in law they're

not on the new list now i'm waiting to see photos. so whereas the search parties were searching for survivors it is now confirmed that they will be searching for bodies. tom parker so how does that affect the recovery operation. well our upon our past and the law in this last day and through the past night the on the on the small strip of step sound behind me boats have been leaving in a riving i shifts of divers another rescue workers change and they have been going down again and again to the wreck of the ship to the sunken ship they took some camera equipment with them and showed us some quite graphic footage of them bringing up bodies earlier on goodness knows what that footage would look like if they'd taken a camera into this room but it now they have now said that they're not going to be

able to bring all of these children's bodies out just through just through taking them through the ship although there was already a plan mooted to try and bring two ships up from volgograd specialist ships that could raise the raise the ship part of the bulgaria and then they could make make the extraction of those bodies easier and they think that that's is now what's going to happen even though that will take another four to five days to do of course when that ship comes up and when those bodies come out all the people on here will no longer even be able to pretend. that these people are not been lost and i think it will be a culmination of what suddenly turned into their nightmare. from a summer dream to a nightmare in a matter of minutes. cause my child remained on that group. it was a sunday afternoon when the holiday river cruz

a bold garia run into difficulties on the volga catastrophe came swiftly soon think of it is that people were basically buried alive in china metal coffin we managed to get out through the windows i was there with my ten year old daughter i couldn't rescue han she swallowed too much water when i was pulled out i realized my child was gone. the bog area now lies at the bottom of. a vessel same can listen three minutes it flew to the right there swerved and went down 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 i thought 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 was birthday. many of the passengers were families with children on a weekend sightseeing. survivors and relatives powerless to act i'm now able 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 after the phone. as many as fifty of the passengers were under eighteen years old holding to the vulgar three kilometers from the back 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 turned into a living nightmare. the volga bank central russia. and the telling of a cause in moscow for us the tally of the discovery of these young victims will now of course what it makes for poignancy to tomorrow's day of mourning and jealousy as well to find out what went so badly wrong here. first person this news reaction to this has been an immediate one to visit was outraged at those behind the desk there was innocent people first of all of course he's expressed his condolences to family members of those on the left. though he's also held up emergency meeting during this tragedy ordered to set up a special state investigative committee that's going to look into. this tragedy and he's appointed the heads of the ministry of transportation of russia to beat

this investigation it's a. huge issue i want the prosecutor general's office to check the compliance with the clickable transport regulations by the owners of the vessel and state officials that certified it is suitable for cruising and generally everyone related to the organization of this cruise especially considering the fact there were so many children on board the ship the results of an investigation should be summed up and not only in relation to this specific catastrophe but in relation to all vessels of his class and other classes as well a number of decrepit barges cruising along our waterways is enormous and the fact that we were lucky before yesterday doesn't mean anything like i couldn't have. and it did happen and with the most grave consequences the. president has also announced that cheese day the twelfth of july is going to be the national day of mourning to remember the victims of this tragedy and the flags will be

a little worried throughout the country are during chuse day to remember the victims all those people who never left that those words right now the investigative committee is looking into the main points that they have cost of this tragedy number one being a good thing the ship the bus that was really cool it's been sailing since nine hundred fifty five that means when fifty five years are you in the water uncertain destination it must gaiters right now trying to figure out where it was looked after properly trained that time a second one being a human error many here are putting the blame on the captain that's the point and we knew he shouldn't have them under such weather conditions and the third one being the weather conditions very difficult to operate any with us so in fact because it was very windy and the word that was very difficult to use to sail at

that point so do so are they she's they investigate from eighty eight hour days looking it's right now we're talking over cover of moscow time but now we want to talk to stanford you both for bringing us up to date with what you know. a lot he's been hearing from a river transport supervisor who told us that it's the port authorities who are responsible for safety and from letting the boat leave dock in the first place. you know with it's a very old ship it shouldn't have been used moreover it was built to correspond with safety requirements of the one nine hundred fifty s. and one criteria has changed the boats condition hadn't we have to find out of the sunken cruiser had been tested in a timely in far away plus the boat was overcrowded with around two hundred people on board which is a serious violation and it should have been allowed to leave port there's also information that one of the engines wasn't working properly and no checks were done in this regard these type of boat is prohibited from leaving ports in bad weather when waves threaten to reach two metres this is considering there was information

of a storm in port authorities are responsible for all those safety breaches. and the main point is we know them so far the volga crew disaster divers are found bodies the south and of up to forty children in the music hall of a sunken treasure cruiser on the volga the children had gathered there to play before tragedy struck leaving and trapped as rapidly went down. two hundred seven people were on board the vessel when it got into trouble more than half of them have died there's been declared a day of mourning across russia president brother was ordered an investigation into why the ship sank saying that the crippled vessels should not still be cruising the country's waterways investigators believe a critical technical failure and human error likely to be behind the disaster this is r t we'll keep you fully posted on developments as they come through to us. with . this take a look at some other news now from the day in the middle middle east peace quartet

we see in washington later monday at a time when the israeli palestinian divides growing of a wider russia the united states the u.n. and the e.u. have a tough job ahead of them with peace talks with the ring and with the upcoming u.n. vote on recognizing an independent palestine the impasse has been compounded two since biz rail rejected us backings return to preventing sixty seven borders as the basis for talks in israel began occupying palestinian territories including garza the west bank and east jerusalem in the six day war also driving a wedge is fighting a solution to the refusal to stop all withdraw jewish settlements on disputed lands party's policy of visited one in sugar a village near jerusalem which its former inhabitants say stands as a painful memory to injustice. and this sort in the mountains of jerusalem are the remains of a once bustling arab community only the memories of those who once lived here have survived intact my friends had come back to.

my village. the hobson's spring also. my car that. there could be a quirk among the cacti and fig trees but in one nine hundred forty eight just before the state of israel was declared 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 who heard of jordan. they really should do the whole caboodle hold. our mother took us inside the room in a corner and then they're going 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 all of his holes and went in for

nevada bilious if he was forced to do it just because you were rewritten he is considered as an absentee under the laws of 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 where life had become dangerous after israel was created these really government sent him to live in lifter he only says to prevent arab owners from returning when the current here on earth for live here years without water without electricity occurring here. and for the memory here as a very important boost to 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 these how this for forty six years all that remains are stone walls where wild flowers and grass now grow if that is empty. and it's into

that emptiness that the israeli government now plans to build more than two hundred luxury homes a chicago tell shops and the museum insisting they'll preserve the area's 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 you could states palestinian land and example in justice. to destroy a world. yanni. for every three wheeled him from anywhere in this way i can. leave and come back. to my present and living. with me. through.

this so only for palestinians lifter is a physical reminder of injustice and survival but for fair number of israelis it's an eyesore and they'd rather not be reminded of what happened here if we time they drive into jerusalem policy r.t. lifter. trouble brewing for italy as the edges closer to becoming a force european countries will need a bailout borrowings a record highs italy's debt surges past raising fears over whether its banks can pass you stress tests senior officials are set to meet later but since at least one of the bigger players saving it isn't going to be cheap if one chief belgians leading business magazine says throwing money at troubled nations will not help save them. italy represents seventeen percent of g.d.p. of the eurozone g.d.p. which means that italy in its own is almost three times as big as a three smaller countries in greece i want important go together so this is really something quite frightening and if indeed italy really goes into big trouble on the

financial markets this is certainly a totally new phase of this euro crisis and you mentioned throwing money at the problem whether it's greece portugal ireland and certainly not also italy that is not enough or that can't solve the problem on its own enormous amounts of what i call political capital has been invested in this euro project so giving it up is a very tough decision and a decision that will be made just overnight so a lot of energy and a lot of additional money will certainly be spent before we arrive at such a situation and according to me there is no such decision on the horizon if italy comes into this ballgame with the amounts that are involved with this country that might change things quite rapidly. five people have been killed in a suicide bombing at a political rally in northwest pakistan it's the latest violence in the taliban

you must be some very good screens but today you have people from the upper classes apart some 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 also in the in the u.s. media to convey the right to the american people even which is unfortunately they're not doing we're very much toeing the ever new line of government so i think i don't see the near future many of the serious differences between pakistan and the united states. and more world views a pack train has derailed in northern india was troubling of speed at least eighty people are said to be dead over three hundred have been injured it's not known how it crashed but some reports suggest the driver hit your motions the brakes to avoid kapil and that caused some of the twelve carriages to land on top of all those things and i was cutting through the cross carriages to try to find survivors
