the latest from warsaw. certainly the main highlight of this press conference was that poland openly admitted that its crew the crew of the airplane was the one to blame for the tragic plane crash which killed most of the country's political elite ninety six people including another presidential couple. in april of last year but still there was some controversy in that because many circumstantial evidence was named in some experts believe that this report was used by the commission in some sense to me to criticize russia and to shift some part of the blame on to russia this is what some experts have to say about that accident was a simple one type of accident that followed a mistake of a type which has happened countless times before in aviation history they've been given the truth and the truth is on bearable they can't take it i don't think that the polish investigators think they can pin the blame on anybody else but i do

think that they are looking to some of the blame on somebody else and certainly most of the points voiced by the commission point. the flight crew at their inadequacy medical decisions at their low quality cation while flying this plane but some of the things they talked about were directly pointed at to russia that the air traffic controllers were reportedly misleading the pilots in the air field in smolensk was reportedly not suitable for such landings and was a very hard to land in particular as one good example to that one of the experts mentioned a tree which was higher than the required standards which destroyed the left wing of the plane after which the plane collided and fell fell into the ground and was destroyed the other acts quickly refuted such claims. this point there is an obstacle a treaty that the aircraft collides with a fragment of the left wing is detached the aircraft begins the rich ation let me

emphasize it's not that victory was too high. the aircraft had simply been as a location where it should have been some experts already say that this report represents something of an attempt to please everybody both in poland and in moscow so the different definitely this case has been very heavily politicized from the very first moment and will probably have some continuation of the story and in the latest news we've heard is that the country's defense minister has stepped down from his position after this report was was made published by the commission corresponded like series rescue there so the doubts being cast on the links being made to russian air controllers in the polish report aviation expert told r.t. the final decision is always with the flight crew. the main thing is that poland admitted but the crew wasn't prepared enough for the flight the claims concerning the airport all controllers they have nothing to do with the

crash i've been a pilot for over thirty years and i know a simple rule if you don't see the runway or it's like the decision height you have no other choice than to raise the landing gear and go to your reserve airport. one polish politicians been telling i'll take the crush report may be used as a tool in the country's upcoming parliamentary election campaign this could be exploited also in the political electoral campaign because this should be known that in two months to be. elections this report and all that issue. will be use it or even misuse it in the electoral campaign but the main message of the holy site is that under such circumstances the plane should never take off given the best selection of the crew given the event right there a logical conditions given the errors. committed probably due to not enough training simulators mean is there

a defense that stepping down yesterday should step down immediately after the crash . and we'll bring you more common reaction to that report has been released today hoping to bring you some live comment on it just little bit later this hour in fact . let's move on now and one of the big credit rating agencies is warning that it's reviewing spain's status among the main reasons is the pressure it's under over the bailouts for greece is when it has got the latest from madrid. prudie's has just announced that it wanted to downgrade spain's rating spain's bonds have already fallen by thirty percent and the euro has fallen as well now this of course is happening to the fourth largest economy in the euro zone and you would think it should be better off but spain has been flagged by some very serious economic problems there's of course the the very large outstanding debt as well as the other again shown unemployment and we're already used to hearing about this awful pixy country's. economic woes and that of course is for sure bill ireland greece and

spain and now italy is also looking at some major issues as far as their economy is concerned by now are also the the heavy drivers of the european economy frat france and germany are also finding themselves in sort of hot water because just recently in the i.m.f. has said that france has somewhat been too optimistic about the evaluation of its prognosis and actually may not be as well off as their french authorities have the whole bit. of hope of the country to be the problem these are things that have just happened suddenly i mean the french budget deficit has been in a deficit french budget since nineteen seventy four this is typical of contagion we've been talking about it for weeks we have you know when you get some degree of illness salute goes through the body ultimately you have to decide when to amputate it and the truth is we should be to greece from the euro zone so that leaves

germany and germany is already bearing the brunt of basically pulling the entire european economic structure out of the sinking hole that is that it's finding itself in recently this is coming right when the voices of discontent among the eurozone critics among the euro skeptics are growing louder and louder in fact there is saying that the euro. zone critics are saying that while initially the euro zone was created. that hope of pulling up the weaker economy is quite the opposite is happening the weaker economies are going down or they're dragging down a stronger economy is way down so this latest out work outs from what is actually very bad news for the eurozone and for the euro as well ridiculous could only saves the euro crisis is driving up some of the smaller players and we're disappointed in slovakia because one of the poorest you countries has pressurised to chip in to bail out its troubled neighbors got latest on that ahead. money troubles too in the

u.s. the clock ticks towards choose day but squabbling lawmakers still can't agree on how to stop america's massive debt from falling off a cliff and into default dr william anderson's associate professor of economics and frostburg state university says it's time for american politicians to make up their minds these folks in washington are delusional but you know look we give the example of vhong you know during the end of world war two everybody in his response thought they could still win the war but there were russians were outside you know and in already in the streets of berlin i mean we have to understand this is the situation is not sustainable and the night that they can talk about short term solutions but they have allowed this thing to go on to a point where they either are going to have to admit defeat or defeat is going to be there for them. and the greek debt crisis in america's making china see red

america's biggest lender thinks the u.s. is being dangerously irresponsible investment analyst peter schiff says he could see china dump the dollar as its main reserve currency now. we can't afford to have relations with china beijing holds the cards you know we're dancing to the tune that they play the real problem for china is that there's no way that america can pay back the money that the chinese have already loaned us politically it's just not going to happen especially when interest rates rise i'm surprised it's taken the chinese so long to figure out that didn't throw a lot of good money after bad i don't think we're going to default i think we're going to inflate which is just as bad but you know we're going to raise the debt ceiling the problem is the get out the ceiling this sooner the chinese start stop enabling this phony economy that we have this sooner we as americans could begin to repair the damage and what's going to happen is what a dollar collapses americans are going to see a big reduction in our standard of living. it's a huge story is coming to

a head we will know what you think about it on our web site r c dot com that's what we're asking you right now just over half of you are convinced that there's no choice america has to agree on raising the debt ceiling that's what you've been telling us on that graph there slightly over a third of you this believe of political progress the nation will send in what else is economy the free for big knock on effect you think and the nine percent of you saying time has run out default is on america's doorstep will it move on by itself but tuesday will be covering it very much and you can let us know what you think about it on our team dot com. right now to our top story poland's investigation into the presidential plane crash in a small ends last year it's just been released let's discuss some of those findings with. ski's from the sense of for european political policy studies is joining us from brussels this is going ski thanks for playing on our to international is much appreciated so when the recall is investigation were initially expected back in

february weren't they but i haven't been revealed until today why do you think it took so long for the polish team to compile this report. well because they wanted to do it carefully they carefully and they had to do some tests some different. checks and they performed all of the very carefully very cautiously because there was this huge tension. expectations were extremely high from this report and therefore they had to be extra super extra cautious in drafting it and they had to triple quadruple checked everything in this report but now it's been released prime minister says that this final report may now pave the way for a warming in russian polish relations expand on that what does it mean. of course it's for the prime minister to expand the foreign minister to expand my reading would be what he what the polls want right now is that

poland or our show together have a normal neighborhood good neighborhood relations that this extra. relationship or extra problems caused the by the very unfortunate very tragic events of april last year have have been put a little bit aside of course the are by no means to be forgotten but the but they are not looming over the polish russian relations anymore and then we can move on to the very normal traditional neighborhood type relationship on removing of the visas for example for the. citizens or joining. the beauty oh great russia sometime this year those normal type of relationship and issues between those two states are now to be back on the

agenda peter at the time the late president's brother was outraged when the russian investigation was released at the beginning of the year and he's now already criticizing a published report saying quote we will investigate it not how many parties do you think that needs to be before the evidence is accepted by the whole family. but of course those are very dramatic situations for all families of the of the over ninety almost a hundred victims of a broad time two thousand and ten incident and in this context those are always difficult decisions or comments to be made because those are personal losses. that have been experienced by families of the victims now. so there for at least ninety or more different cases and different answers to your question when will it end because it all depends on

a particular very aggrieved particular family how is it what about amongst polish politicians themselves is there a broad agreement now do they go along with this latest report all will be the to and fro in the arguments who what when continue. realistically speaking there are elections are ninth of october coming very soon sooner than later we have just summer and the month of september in between the elections so what happens is that this issue of of the report published today made the subject of political campaign whether it is used in the political campaign is just to be given by the political actors the political parties. from the sense of european policy policy studies thank you being on the line from brussels you think we appreciate. well across developments we'll bring you more coverage an expert opinion on the results that

report into the investigation as we get it throughout the night we've also got details of the plane crash including the firsthand accounts of witnesses on our website at r.t. dot com. the crowds are back in cairo's tahrir square five months after the ousting of president mubarak thousands of people there in what's one of the largest demonstrations since the february uprising carol based journalist and blogger austin michael says a religious rift has developed now. the protest planned for today was originally billed as the day of unity and it was a sign that liberal and islam as forces were going to come together to continue their push for sort of basic democratic rights down in the square it was just before i came here this is a huge number of. muslim brotherhood members of the most disliked me to where has. the time that i've been here and they has many chants of. islamic identity and

this islamic nature of egypt which is cause some friction with the. secular forces who are normally it is a killer forces dominate entirely they're the ones who run the been running a sit in there for a month since the clashes that happened at the end of june but today. these lists. there's a similar show of unrest to neighboring israel to public squares and i was see demonstrators camping out calling for social justice and for prime minister netanyahu to go i think a protest is planned for saturday palestinian israeli journalist. says the similarities with egypt at play here. two thirds of the poor in israel are working poor people who are working every day people who have a great chance and still are not able to go above the poverty level so that's a reason that people are coming out of the street if you look at how the protesters started it's almost identical to how it started in egypt and in tunisia and other

places started through facebook somebody who made a post on facebook through social media that's how people organize or was organized completely in the beginning by the young people in it's all students people who feel that they have no future people who feel who can't afford living here and i was realizing that this is not the way to go forward he's trying to figure out ways to deal with it because the government could definitely fold its role and these a crown and i think it is in danger especially that the process is growing while israel has been under building in tel aviv and haifa and all these major cities in israel is all have been overbuilding in the west bank focus of the israeli government at the moment is more sustaining the occupation more sustaining the settlements rather than cheering for the majority of the population who actually oppose opponents and oppose occupation and israel proper that the problem here though is the still too many israelis have not been able to make that connection and the more and the sooner israelis make that connection realize that there are
