our little angel is alive for the moment the rescue operation well it has really turned into more of a recovery operation but the tempo has not let up we were at the site of the center of the rescue operation yesterday and boats kept going from the bank throughout the day to try and recover people you can hear some of the music being played behind me now to try and commemorate the sinking of this ship but downstream the rescue efforts are going on with divers going to the wreck to try and search the rooms inside the ship and find bodies of people who went down with that ship they're moving into one of the most difficult parts of that operation into a large play room which was where around forty children were at the time of the sinking and it's thought that a large number of children there but that they simply weren't able to escape and they all drowned in a room. here now so hold. glowing in

a pleasure boat sank in just three minutes on sunday now some people are saying it should never been on the volga at all. as the borg area passed us two hours before cloaked in an awful condition if they had done a preview a choke on the ship before it set off it 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 in the ocean sea 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 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 despite this rescue teams say it was hopelessly outdated the crew was

working in town and they notice water coming in through the windows at such a pace the boat went down pretty quickly now president medvedev has ordered wide ranging checks saying there are many more full gary is out there a number of decrypted barges cruising along our waterways is enormous and the fact that we were looking 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 ring accounts of what happened on the weekend pleasure cruise to tell the real story is that people were basically buried alive in time michael coughing he managed to get out through the windows i was there with my ten year old daughter i couldn't rest even 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 dumbarton r.t. vulgar bank city which are. without a live from moscow dramatic new pictures have emerged of the moment that a russian passenger plane was forced to make an emergency landing on water in eastern siberia the one ton of twenty four which was carrying thirty six people can clearly be seen here with one of its engines on fire the pilot reported decided to attempt a landing on the river on monday while the plane did stay afloat it allowed the majority of the passengers to escape seven people did die to the survivors rain serious condition in hospital. although coming up your way in a few minutes a drawn out incision is simulink i think so what to do with the libyan campaign contemplating whether to invade the country or sit down and talk to cut off. it's a few days off for hosting his fortieth birthday party wiki leaks founder julian

assange is appearing right now before long and high court to fight extradition to sweden he's wanted for questioning sexual actions. has been following the case from just outside the court what we saw recently arrived at school his own cheese day he was flanked by his lawyers and his assistants he was silent obviously reserving his energies we were all asking him how he felt about how the day was going to go but he didn't answer any of us but he had a hat but he's now wearing gloves does he look that she much older than his school she isn't seventy much older than him but he did it looks like the these months of a bushel house arrest that he's been on to have really taken that toll he's cool speaking staying at the home of a friend of his out in the countryside where he's had to wear an electronic tag he's been under a curfew and they have to report to the police station every day so that his too pretty taken it's toll on him this pairing that we're seeing this week is central

to last until wednesday but even then the rulings expected to be resumed so we might not hear what decision the judge has made for days or even weeks and inside even if that this appeal is rejected but you know so says that he vows to take this case higher up the justice chain here in the u.k. just to the supreme court and then if he has to own to the european court of human rights of course he was lost in court in february here in the u.k. where the judge ruled in favor of sweden they said that he should be extradited to sweden saying that that would name reason to expect that our phones wouldn't receive a fair trial i know that he's now includes today to appeal that decision and he and his supporters have always suggested that the prosecution on sex charges is politically motivated and that the end goal of this is this weekend will. actually sent him to the u.s. where of course the grand jury is currently investigating the work of wiki leaks

and in fact there are significant links between sweden and the us which is the subject of reports that you can see now. seven months since julian our soldier was released on bail he returns to the high court to appeal his extradition if he fails will be sent to sweden within ten days but many believe his feet won't touch the ground next stop america i think the the worry is that we passed was extradited people to america with a minimum of fuss when they were asked was seen as a possible you know thought to carry water awaits him in the us is this. the usual you're a notorious neo conservative group help the swedish prime minister friedrich reinfeldt win reelection last year and there's another glaring link in the shape of

lawyer thomas strum his firm's representing the two women bringing the sex charges against our songs in two thousand and one he was minister of justice and is alleged to have helped turned over to asylum seekers suspected by the cia of terror they were sent to egypt and allegedly tortured he might well want to stop wiki leaks from functioning the questions about neutrality became even even clearer thanks to some of the documents from exactly wiki leaks there is. a willingness to. do the ariens of the united states over many years from. questions of making asylum seekers in sweden. to the cia freddy's is particularly strong now with a great leaning. government in sweden sweden once i thought i was on sex crime charges the u.s.

is reportedly preparing an espionage case and it suits nor need to remember sweden just fine to be a conduit in this case and in others they get. all the benefits of 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 ourselves particularly after it requested the extradition of hacker gary mckinnon from britain which so far hasn't been granted but critics say the u.k. is just as much in computes with the u.s. and sweden as to lead us back to course in london he'll have an eye on the british justice system which could save him from being extradited but the other eye will be firmly fixed don't squeeze it in a country that insists on its own neutrality whilst turning asylum seekers a visiting us to allegedly to be tortured only our soldiers and his staff that wiki leaks know what scale swedens got to hide your enemies haughty wanted. oh you can

the u.n. vote for september not officially recognized in palestine as a sovereign state it's something strongly israel is going to church kind of strange and why there's such urgency to see that all. the quartet has met at a time when its efforts as a global mediator in the middle east peace process are largely seen as in the fact that there's a sense that cost for negotiations alone are not enough in fact they have reached that dead end i mean the failure to negotiate is a solution palestinians plan to seek a vote by the u.n. general assembly in september recognizing the state of palestine that 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 be by 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 at the starting point for those negotiations have to be the pre-one nine hundred sixty seven water

lines but these release 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 ignores so it's a small ball of conditions that have resulted in the decades old impacts the two sides have not been able to come to a solution and the hope always was that war powers to 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 attempt 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 u.n. security council to condemn the settlement expansion is illegal the u.s. veto resolution the. bhushan analysts say the fact that israel is the protectorate at the united states makes it hard to expect

a balanced approach from washington whereas russia 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 palestinian bro voice is virtually blocked in the us their leadership is labeled as terrorists here and experts say mediation is next to impossible when you refuse to talk to talk to one of the sides. just hours before the middle east courts have convened in washington israel introduced a law that makes it a crime for its citizens to boycott jewish settlements on occupied palestinian territory the new law has already been criticized for violating free speech and stifling democracy human rights organizations of hughes the israeli government of acting as thought police the legislation allows any settler or business to sue for damages caused by boycotts and imposes fines on organizers a law is

a stark brothers a stark reminder of an ongoing erosion over civil rights in the country as israel seeks to preserve its decades long stranglehold on palestine well that's according to her executive director of the association for civil rights in israel. the passing of this law was a bad day for freedom speech a bad day for as a democracy. and even more unfortunately it is only the current representation of the rising wave of democratic legislation that is gradually drowning the foundations of his that have ocracy itself for many years and i think rightfully so has been recognized as a country with strong democratic out your beats but what we're seeing here is the gradual sad process in which these really follow him and his right self 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 the ability to function freely something that we've always taken for granted and is now being gradually eroded and also targeting the independence of the high court of justice and its ability to continue to defend human rights and civil liberties in israel. so nearly twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital you would art see us here shortly with the business for now let's check out some of the headlines from around the world this hour the heart rather the afghan president hamid karzai has been assassinated in his own home and actual reports suggest he was shot dead by one of his own bodyguards and the taliban is claiming responsibility. at the kandahar provincial council as one of the most powerful politicians in the south of the country he was a controversial figure accused by critics of in corruption cronyism and criminal activity that shrouds the current afghan regime. the hacking scandal surrounding
