of it is silence. near the scene where it all happens a lot number forty still around some people he said they have to bring to the surface around the pool to the food see the children with the tragic story that they got trapped in the game frame of all that but as you said incredibly disturbing for the friends and family who are still waiting for news and of course now the news that they were wanting they were hoping they would pray that there would be some good news but as we said the dogs the word futurities those bodies that remain trapped some food that i don't really try to get the made for the move was because of the number of children involved because a lot of people now saying that it could have been avoided by colleagues from boston who's going down to the scene and he looks more into these loopholes that could have contributed to the sinking of that but it's a tragedy on the folks on sunday. first came terror and tragedy in 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 grip of my grandson he said he swims 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. like if you think so do you joyce you don't understand a thing. the bulgaria pleasure boat sank in just three minutes on sunday now some people are saying it should never have been on the volga at all that they will stay out of the morgue area past those two hours before the awful condition of their donor people which before it set off would never have been allowed to sail. growing evidence seems to point to gross mismanagement on the vessel including a broken engine ignored by the captain and blocked emergency exits. were used to

work on it it was called the ukrainians more and more people complained so they just changed the name to the bulgaria 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 despite this rescue teams say it was hopelessly outdated it truly was worth playing time they noticed water coming in through the windows attach a paste the boat went down pretty quickly now president medvedev has ordered wide ranging checks saying there are many more ball carriers out there 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 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 harrowing accounts of what happened on the weekend pleasure cruise to tell the real story is that people were basically buried

alive in anti-matter and coffee 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 has now gone they will find anyone else alive leaving just the shock and grief in our see the ball go back to. in a few minutes drawn out decision from the seemingly after a loss what to do with the libyan campaign contemplating whether to invade the country sit down and talk to congress of. the middle east peace quartet made up of russia america. is gathered in washington tent to revive a stall palestinian peace talks comes no point in relations between israel and of

us president obama spoke in turn to establish pre nine hundred sixty seven borders or israel occupied vast swathes of palestinian land and since declared much of it as its own. quartet head of the u.n. vote in september when i finished. recognizing palestine as a sovereign state something stronger posed by israel. on the future kerry explains why this such urgency to see the top of. the quartet has met at a time when its efforts as the global mediator in the middle east peace process are largely seen as in fact if there is a sense that cause for negotiations alone are not enough in fact they have reached a dead end i mean the failure to negotiate a solution palestinians plan to seek a vote by the un general assembly is september recognizing the state of palestine that answer 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 a possible vote in september device 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 three weeks and the palestinians and that the starting point for those negotiations have to be the pre nine hundred sixty seven water lines put these released find the near 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 we just roll 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 war 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 day when attempts to influence the situation take the

settlements the obama administration has called the israelis battlements expansion illegitimate but when it came to actually voting that the u.n. security council to condemn the settlement expansion is illegal the u.s. the vote the resolution analysts say the fact that israel is the protectorate of the united states makes it hard to expect a balanced approach from washington whereas washee is seen by. many as the more impartial mediator moscow has held consultations with both peace really authorities and the palestinian authorities many times hearing out their complaints their grievances because the palestinian goal is virtually blocked in the us their leadership is labeled as terrorists here and that spirits say mediation is next to impossible when you refuse to talk to talk to one of the site. well brownback and national coordinator antiwar answer coalition so there's little chance of peaceful resolution as long as the u.s. continues to fashion its policies around israeli interests there are different

different desires different agendas within a quartet from the u.s. government point of view the purpose of these renewed hearts 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 there would be a halt freeze and settlement construction of the worst pain and spite of the fact that the siege of gaza has taken so much in support of the fact that the israelis are claiming all druce on 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 where the solution is not acceptable to the broad mass of the palestinian people because it means giving up greater return and giving all of jerusalem to israel and allowing these west bank settlements to

continue so there's between a rock and a hard place the mere settlement but as long as they're following the israeli agenda or supporting the israeli agenda which has its own. 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 on palestinian territory or has already been criticized for violating free speech and stifling democracy. details of all this passed in late monday by a vote of ninety seven in favor and fifty eight against it is called the broom to protect the state of israel from boycotts and essentially what you do now is for any kind of signal system one based business to suit for damages is rabies morning so boycotts a new presupposes fines if he is not an israeli he or she can also be prevented

from 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 federman speech and people really should be allowed to fulfill boycotts of both the occupied territories and this islam and the head of the peace now movement has to be israeli government is trying to act to point to him as police and the peace now and other human rights organizations plan to kill this decision in the israeli frightful. and growing pressure on israel to commit to a peaceful resolution to the conflict has caused an ongoing erosion of civil rights in the country as israel sinks to preserve its decades long stranglehold on plants like that's according to. executives director association for civil rights in

israel. the passing of this law was a bad day for freedom of speech a bad day for is a democracy. and even more unfortunately it is only the current rippers and taishan of the rising wave of democratic legislation that is gradually drowning the foundations of his agenda moccasin for many years and i think rightfully so has been recognized as a country with strong democratic attributes what we're seeing here is the gradual sad process in which the israeli parliament is by itself undoing eroding those democratic principles not just a prolonged occupation for more than four decades but also targeting the rights of . minorities in the israel and specifically arab citizens of the state of israel targeting human rights organisations and that ability to function freely something that we've always taken for granted and is now being gradually eroded and that's

a good thing that the independence of the high court of justice and its ability to continue to defend human rights and civil liberties in israel. well you can always find more stories on our website r.t. dot com the latest news and blogs and videos here's just some of what you can find there the shady circumstances surrounding the death of a high profile russian prosecutor who shot himself in his workplace when there was a balance. in the street racer tries out the full potential car race in central moscow using disaster. the french parliament to show you all to vote on an extension to the military campaign in libya government there says it's determined to take the fight to clone
