and of course not the news that they were wanting they were hoping they were praying that there would be some good news but as we said the dogs are still working to achieve those bodies that remain trapped on board but i don't really try to get made all the more worse because of the number of children involved because a lot of people now think that it could have been avoided there are a number of incidents and loopholes that led to this happening with the boat owning high capacity for one hundred forty well the number that we've had now is around two hundred eight on board the weather present the fate of the only for the morning today but also for an investigation into the transport infrastructure is just unacceptable the boat that old it was built by. all the water it's still my colleague tom parsons has been down at the scene as we look more into these relief wells that could have contributed to the sinking of the on the falls on sunday. first came tara tragedy the

boat 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 door holding his child when the wave crashed into them and he lost a group of my grandson he said he swim towards the light and made it out alive but i can't find my grandson or daughter in law. now amidst the grief comes the anger and the questions. if you do your job search you don't understand anything. the bulgaria pleasure boat sank in just three minutes on sunday now some people are saying it should never have been on the volga but all that they knew. was the bog area past two hours before in an awful condition if they had done a pretty voice on the ship before it set off it would never have been allowed to sail. growing evidence seems to point to go. mismanagement on the vessel including

a broken engine ignored by the captain and blocked emergency exits. what is to work on it it was called the ukraine more and more people complained so they just changed the name to the bulgaria the crew themselves always praise god for saving them every time they got off that ship the vessel was first built in one nine hundred fifty five and as recently as last month was given official clearance to sail. despite this rescue teams say it was hopelessly outdated the crew that was working tell me they noticed water coming in through the windows at such a pace the boat went down very quickly now president medvedev has ordered wide ranging checks saying there are many more bulgaria's out there the number of decrepit barges cruising along our waterways is enormous and the fact that we were lucky before yesterday doesn't mean anything like that couldn't have happened all of this will come to the fore when the ship itself is raised to the surface for

investigation but it's the how wring accounts of what happened on the weekend pleasure cruise to tell the real story didn't is that people were basically buried alive and trying metal 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 rescue workers will continue their efforts throughout the coming hours and days but hope is now gone they will find anyone else alive leaving just the shock and grief. of all go back central russia. well coming up in a program in a few minutes a drawn out decision france's city at a loss what to do with the libyan campaign contemplating whether to invade the country or sit down and talk to developing. the middle east peace corps tet made up of russia america the u.n. and the e.u.

has gathered in washington in an attempt to revive stalled israeli palestinian peace talks meeting comes at a low point in relations between israel and the u.s. after president obama spoke in favor of a return to establish pre nine hundred sixty seven borders. as well occupied vast swathes of palestinian land and a sense declared much of it has its own gathering of the quartet and the head of a key. the u.n. vote this time on officially recognizing as a sovereign state who strongly opposed by israel. and should you can explain why there is such an agency to see the talks take off. the quartet has met at a time when its efforts as the global mediator in the middle east peace process are largely seen as ineffective there's a sense that cost for negotiations alone are not enough in fact they've reached a dead end and made the failure to negotiate as a solution palestinians plan to seek a vote by the un general assembly is september recognizing the state of palestine

that adds urgency to the meeting of the quartet as some analysts say could be the last chance for the global mediators to prove their efficiency before at the possible voting september divides the international community which it most certainly will there is a vision that all quartet members share and that is a two state solution for these elites and the palestinians and that the starting point for those negotiations have to be the pre-one nine hundred sixty seven border lines but these very least find the mere mentioning of nine hundred sixty seven border lines unacceptable the palestinians on the other hand demand israel stop building settlements on the occupied territories demands which israel effectively nors so it's a snowball of conditions that have resulted in the decades old impasse the two sides have not been able to come to a solution and the hope always was that wall powers could mediate a peaceful outcome but even though the quartet members say they want to see two independent states eventually they have not been united in how they see the path to

the solution the u.s. for example blocks every year when attempts to influence the situation take the settlements the obama administration has called the israeli settlements expansion illegitimate but when it came to actually voting at the un security council to condemn the settlement expansion is illegal the u.s. veto the resolution analysts say the fact that israel is the protectorate of the united states makes it hard to expect a balanced approach. in washington where as russia is seen by many as the more impartial mediator moscow has held consultations with both the israeli authorities and the palestinian authorities many times hearing out their complaints their grievances because the palestinian vote voice is virtually blocked in the us their leadership is labeled as terrorists here and experts say mediation is next to impossible when you refused to talk to one of the sites. well meanwhile brawn becker national coordinator of the antiwar ansa coalition says the little chance of

a peaceful resolution as long as the u.s. continues to fashion its policies around israeli interests there are different different desires different agendas within the quartet from the u.s. government point of view the purpose of these renewed talks is to put pressure on the palestinian authority which having received nothing from the israelis and nothing from the americans during the past years seen israeli settlements growing and expanding in spite of president obama's promise that this that there would be a halt freeze and settlement construction in the west bank and spite of the fact that the siege of gaza has taken so much in spite of the fact that the israelis are claiming all of jerusalem for themselves so the american government in particular which is the primary sponsor of israel which gives israel three billion dollars a year the largest recipient of of u.s. foreign aid they realize that israel could become increasingly isolated so they're trying to come up with some solution what the solution is not acceptable to the

broad mass of the palestinian people because it means giving up the right of return and giving all of jerusalem to israel and allowing these west bank settlements to continue so there's there are between a rock and a hard place they need a settlement but as long as they're following the israeli agenda or supporting the israeli agenda which has its own narrow. aims to gobble up more and more palestinian territory there can't be a resolution. just hours before the middle east quartet convened in washington israel introduced a law that makes it a crime for its citizens to boycott jewish settlements in occupied palestinian territory a new law has already been criticized for violating free speech and stifling democracy ortiz put a slip of the details. the vote was cast late monday by a vote of forty seven in favor and fifty eight against it is called be bold to protect the state of israel through boycotts and essentially what it allows is for

any kind of signal system one based business to suit for damages is rabies morning so boycotts a new presupposes fines if the caller is not an israeli he or she can also be prevented and barred from entering this country now what is interesting is that the legal advisor for the knesset the israeli parliament is himself against this bill he has called it borderline illegal and this is a sentiment that is echoed by human rights organizations and civil parliamentarians they say that it is anti democracy it is anti freedom of speech and people really should be allowed to call for boycotts of both the occupied territories and the stairs woman's behavior of the peace now movement has said that the israeli government is trying to act to quote him as tool to police and the peace now in other human rights organizations plan to appeal this decision in the israeli high schools. you can always find more stories on our website r.t. dot com all the latest news blogs and videos here's just some of what you've. shady

and gets a nasty surprise i french foreign minister should pay boasted france would win libya in quote days or weeks the war's into a fourth month no final round inside nicolas sarkozy with his western allies seem shocked their little opponents fighting back well it's not just an embarrassment for sarkozy it's an embarrassment for all nato for the whole west paris even admits libya's rebels those weapons are going to terrorists. but it and some somalia. wench to libya for training within the last two or three years that's documented we have the fly record and everything else so it seems strange in many ways the whole western support of some of the rebel groups in libya

must be questioned because in some cases i think we are effectively arming al-qaeda . it's all making a mockery of the un votes on foreign intervention in the country. by leading and. giving. none of. the. witnesses. of libya's causing widespread atrocities for every one military personnel that was supposedly a casualty there were ten civilians frauds categorically ruled out sending road troops to take spurs predict is the only way you know to break the libyan deadlock the moves the splitting the nato coalition silvio berlusconi head of keep italy admits invading libya was a mistake and did a stunning the fridge defense minister says the rebels should negotiate with

moammar gadhafi this is the same man that they already indicted in the international court so. i mean from a legal point of view it's even possible what they saying they're saying now and a person accused of war crimes or crimes against humanity is a suitable partner in negotiations men and of course our media here are not the ones who are going to pose these critical certainly not in france. to the president on the contrary russia abstained did the u.s. vote warning bombs would bring havoc in libya to play said the latest tool to help support love ruffle quote lloyd lead diplomat speak for. reelection just more in months away sako advisers said a successful war could resurrect his chances instead one paper writes libya's becoming a slow motion call crash for france's deeply unpopular president so jogging

for excessive sweating is. the stumble this is libyan spring is turning into a new bush you'll see paris. has been concealing the real number of civilian casualties and libya ever since the operation started that's according to independent journalist. says it's being done to hide the real motive behind the military campaign full scale rewrites of the region's political map you can see the full interview later this hour but here's a preview. indeed starting from the moment it was decided to launch this operation the lives of civilians were not taken into account everything we used to see in the middle east is not transpiring in this region and this is just the beginning it is rather a question of rearrangement of this. we are yet to see a series of wars in this case nato keeps line there recently which is surprising

because during the war and it also want nato would normally like only to conceal its mistakes time is being done not to conceal mistakes but you can see all the strategy. hundreds of angry government supporters have attacked the american french embassies in the syrian capital damascus they broke windows on the american compound and raised the syrian flag responding to the incident u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said the syrian government has lost legitimacy and rest comes in response to the controversial visit of american and french envoys to opposition dominated area months of protests in syria calling for president bashar assad to resign political writer cultural or says the west is into the situation. there are lots of security barriers if you know where the embassy is.

on the ground. so it will probably had a bit of. officially. let's put it that way but i think when you focus on the bigger picture over here. and i think this is indicative of. by the u.s. and france. to sort of do a bit of face saving exercise and appear as if they're on the good side in syria. and i actually i wouldn't be surprised if some of the demonstrators were actually there even genuinely by anger because that's the sort of intrusion that nobody can tolerate i think what we need to look at is that there is a blatant intervention by the american and french governments at least if they were fully aware of what their ambassadors were doing in a very fluid dynamics tuition on the ground in syria. will expound sons will be back in london's high court today to fight extradition to sweden where he's wanted

preparing an espionage case and it suits no nato member sweden just fine to be a conduit in this case and in others. all the benefits. being an intelligence partner of the united states without the baggage of being in nato sweden seen as an easier way for the u.s. to get their hands on our soldiers particularly after it requested the extradition of hack gary mckinnon from britain which so far hasn't been granted but critics say the u.k. is just as much in cahoots with the u.s. as we didn't have a traditional role of britain to represent us foreign policy in europe but what it does militarily and politically and economically through changes very unfortunately as today in our souls goes back to court in london he'll have an eye on the british justice system which could save him from being extradited but the other i will be
