had a minute's silence for fans and players everybody that was there oh but this is just the background well just before we get to that i just want to remind our viewers what they're looking at the business actually these are the first pictures coming from the a crash site. in the other slot well that's about two hundred seventy kilometers from moscow that's north east of moscow again looking at first pictures from the site you're seeing flames there are still recovery efforts as we know from our reporter on the field that still recovery efforts are underway emergency services right there at the site just going back to you this isn't the first tragedy we've heard of tragedies involving a sports teams before haven't we unfortunately we managed to look through i mean there are some tragedies that a very well known it's a particularly for football supporters i mean manchester united fans obviously munich the munich air disaster from nine hundred fifty eight is ingrained upon the history when eight of the team died and you had the coach so much busby was also in critical condition before. he survived but that aside we looked through there were

found eleven such tragedies there was a cheer in football team from nine hundred forty nine we had the zambian national football team for nine hundred ninety three in one hundred sixty one the u.s. olympic figure skating team were decimated unfortunately is a case by the nature of a disaster is that if if you have the team then the chances of survival it tends to take its toll this is a developing story i mean we certainly will be getting more reaction but any initial reaction from fans not just from russia but from where the countries where these players are from we don't have anything so far the only pictures that we could see coming through were from that much in a far between cell about an hour and and the stunned reaction and so far that is the general den reactions i felt shock ok all right kate will keep it there for now just going back to our a recap of our breaking news story again the plane tragedy that's killed nearly all of the triple champion russian ice hockey team again that's the local level just to give you an update on the latest figures there were

forty five on board and forty three of them are reportedly killed well let's i'll give you a bit more information about the actual aircraft of the yak forty two aircraft this crashed in is a mid range passenger jets the flying certificate of this particular plane was you to expire in three weeks time the yak forty two was introduced in the soviet union in the one nine hundred eighty s. as a substitute for the aging fleet of planes well at the beginning of the month a total of ninety two yak forty two aircraft were listed as being currently in service. ok well again we're still getting details from the crash site earlier we were showing you first pictures from the site we're trying to establish a connection with our correspondent there but as soon as we do we'll definitely keep you updated of the developments there. all right but first let's keep you updated on the other news happening today let's begin with germany i think

all right i think we're having some problems we're trying to get a connection from our correspondent in yugoslavia will give you more of those developments as they come still trying to see if the sound is connected in the meantime ok let's turn to other news for now germany's highest court rules of the country's bailout billions for struggling nations are illegal but warns that i'm the merkel she'll have to ask permission next time she wants to run to the rescue. now with colonel gadhafi now surrounded by the rebels are two looks at how libya might become a breeding ground for extremists and face an even bigger civil war. now a deadly blast rocks india's capital eleven people are dead and dozens injured in the city's worst attack in nearly three years. now a top court in a berlin has drawn out a series of lawsuits was said germany's bankrolling a bailouts to ailing european economies were illegal but just this rule out giving

child of merkel a blank check saying any future aid must now be pre-approved by parliament will back it up or germany's ability to react swiftly to any new crises but sets a precedent for other nations to tighten their belts as well opposition parties welcomed the ruling but said merkel had made the crisis worse through delays and a lack of vision and financial adviser patrick young believes there's little to celebrate. ultimately this is actually i think what we would call a pyrrhic victory it's an empty victory from is this merkel yes the be allowed can go ahead but like all good court judgments read the small print and what has happened today is that in fact the german court which has clearly been very very much split on the issue has come up with an announcement we're still scarring through the small print but what we read so far suggests to us that they're going to request that the german parliament and most importantly of all the german budget committee has a grid deal more say on what goes on in the whole issue on

a larger basis what we're looking at today is the fact that yes bailouts can go ahead but at the same time it's still a very very cloudy picture of the we know that the german people are deeply unhappy about what's going on they don't see there being any benefit in suddenly giving a credit card another bottle of vodka to a drying drunken man in a department store and that's what we've got here it's going to still be a terrible result once the market has had a bit of a relief rally which is going on as we speak what's happening is greece is essential to being sold hide vying to end slavery by the way that the euro debt mechanism is working it's a farce for greece it's a farce for the greece people and it's a total complete and utter disaster for the euro greece should be allowed to go free and it must make its own decisions its own sovereign decisions that of greece doesn't leave the cancer is spreading and as we know it reached last month it's

already were rooting around the place in spain portugal italy ireland so far does the disease google for it finally kills the patient i think the question is it's not a question of how much work is there to get greece side of the euro actually are much chances are that the euro is going to survive with greece still in it and the answer is really numb. ok it just reminded you of for our developing story of the plane tragedy that's killed in nearly all of the triple champion russian ice hockey team. their yak forty two jet crashed during takeoff from me at us level airport that's two hundred seventy kilometers northeast of moscow latest figures forty three of the forty five on board were killed again now let's cross live to and he said. good to see you there ok so you're at the site right now what is the latest that you can give us. well this just in we now know that thirty one bodies of socially been found we're hearing conflicting reports some are saying that they

were actually found in the full the river where part of the plane part of the logs was in fact found i just want to take you through the latest figures you mentioned forty three people confirmed dead it still sounds at that number forty five on board in total to be your of. and once you've asked confirmed that all thirty seven members of the team were on board we do know that two people i did survive one of them is alexander pretty much was a member of the russian national team he is in hospital we know that he has burns we're hearing on eighty percent of his body has been very critical condition the second survivor we don't know exactly who it is we do know that it has been confirmed that that second survivor is in hospital and they're being taken care of obviously as we speak an investigation has been launched i also want to mention some of the foreigners that were on board the team head coach is a canadian. and he has been confirmed killed fifty two year old brad mccrimmon confirmed dead in that plane crash we also know that there were there were members

of this new from sweden the czech republic bellerive train. and we can't confirm the story are hearing that one of the players on board was i checked ice hockey player. mark if you. will going to prison for now but he is one of those that were killed because it hasn't been confirmed that he was in hospital devastating tragedy we're getting pictures in from other cities across the country research council the opening games of the k h l season as they get this devastating news of this entire team practically being killed in this process all right thank you very much for that update and now with their life and you had a solid reporting on the airplane tragedy right there thank you. so. well going back to our initial story there's a clearer astray should among the spanish with thousands rallying in protest at

their government's fresh a steady measures italy's forty five billion euro package which was welcomed by the e.u. includes new tax hikes and raising the retirement age for women while in spain the demonstrations came ahead of a crucial senate vote on amending the constitution to limit national debt while unions or rights groups say the death cap would decimate the welfare system and hurt the most vulnerable well let's get more insight on this from one idea as professor of social work at the dance university of madrid thanks very much for joining us today now the primary concern here seems to be that this amendment did not call more from the spanish people but rather from the e.u. and more importantly from international markets have the people of spain got a legitimate concern here. well. i mean people are harsher i'm about. their level of living above crisis. and then. i mean generally about on the economic now the issue will be

a man one of the constitution you said a legal issue which is absolutely show me of course it does for me so i mean for those amendments do not accept. articles they compare personally to be approved by the majority in congress now some n one has been passed not only by a yes this simple my unit but by nightbeat that are saying nine holes of need that new at this so i mean what's more consensual your need to do more i mean that the biggest national practice has to get in on it and i think that's a very legitimate thing one quick question on may be the opportunity but i don't believe it's part of the government has to face the opportunity to work that it has to be done in a hurry because you want to. rush those were stressing part of saturday

measure everything i would like to ask you but what about what do you think of those accusations that the government will use these amendments to push through more big cuts and essentially that will affect the spanish people. well i mean it was what you mean by the big catch i mean what they mean is that you cannot explain more about your your work your income is from practice or other sources now b b the reason why some parties are kind of they remind me about the measure being taken on a drug problem and that is that they think that there's going to be. some of the benefits they were getting but that's happening all over europe. i mean especially it will be a cap on the kind of free freedom of religion and i just want to ask you now the

data sorry to interrupt there about the japs and i think in spain really a wean itself off that debt in just a few years you think spain is capable. i think it is capable if if we made was we have been asked to do that to really cut complicated spending and create jobs i mean the public money should grow not only to subsidize but mainly to create jobs because if you create jobs then people really have money to spend and that will most consumption on again. high after. the economy will recover you have more consumption you have more business there will be more taxes coming to the government so i mean. you cannot have. americans say you cannot have the cake and eat it too ok all right thank you very much i want the ethnical official is a professor at the computer fancy university of madrid thank you ok. now in israel

police have started this not when the tent city is built by protesters within the past two months while the council been part of the nationwide demonstrations over living costs and other social problems among israelis artie's a polish there is in have a vivid for us apollo if you can hear me now what exactly have the police have been doing. it's a lot of anger in tel aviv i mean it's less than a day since the tel aviv city hall officials said that they would help these protesters who are in out on the street for nearly two months demanding issues of social justice but early this morning at five o'clock local time collective municipality workers dismantled the taint and took away property right now the protesters and police are clashing in front of the tell it is municipality they are calling for the tel aviv mayor to resign but faces are warning that they will be more aggressive measures on their behalf in the coming hours they have turned to the reaction of the government as disgusting a lot of tension here in terms of how this protest at our social justice has been

handled by the natanya who government. in a dozen other developments up all of them is really thought there is a valid why is an israeli defense force they can you tell us the details of that. when i spent most of today at the waste bank state colin powell ark and although the situation is quiet there now it wasn't far off where a number of his vandalised and his way to defense force base this was in retaliation for the army dismantling three illegal outposts now one an illegal outpost is essentially is a number of which is getting together putting up caravans in the clearing that this property is there is easy be the opposite even if you said they'll cross the borders or even if you meant that the israeli government recognizes and the power wanted that this is happening because today the peace now movement if you do report saying that construction in the west bank among faithfulness and among settlers you need double that it is on the way in the rest of the country. particularly ten stay here in israel not only here in the settlement but also in tel aviv these are the

the protests and these social justice of the month ok thanks very much for that update policy you're there she's in the west bank apologies for the mistake earlier policy or thank you. all right well let's get a reaction now from danny dianne who's the chairman of the national council of jewish settlements he's in jerusalem for us mr alexander the vandalism involved settlers sticking price tags on military hardware all of this is especially to emphasize how much is being spent on security as opposed to social programs will we see more of this oh i hope you know what i think the speaker. in the strongest in the strongest possible terms this act of vandalism they called upon the perpetrators to surrender themselves to the police and also called the police to use all of the. capabilities they have in order to catch the perpetrators of this act by the way i use exactly the same terminology when i

violence perpetrated by israelis against palestinian property. i have. moreover that we cannot compare the kind of violence we see and regrettable as it piece by israelis against palestinians with the. violence that we see from palestinian israeli it's true that i remind you that just a few weeks ago we saw a whole family including a three month old baby slaughtered by palestinian terrorists this is the kind of terrorism we face from the palestinians but it does not diminish. my condemnation of the violence by israel all right these talking about these acts of violence how much how might this kind of protest affect the government settlement policy in the west bank. i don't know i think they are detrimental for our and therefore for the settlements you have to understand that

we are all playing. a game that leads us nowhere they only game in town right now in the diplomatic world including the united states including the united nations including the european community and including russia is that this is a solution that the state solution isn't physical it's not going to happen because the palestinians refuse to use negotiations therefore we have to nurture the international community russia included to reconsider the diplomatic language they are going for instance it's a stalemate before the jewish presence in what you call the west bank and the correct thing to do there and some area it's uncomprehensible that's no reason to can live in moscow can live in new york and can live also in shilo in it's nothing around the moment they international community and they are when we understand that

we will see a dramatic change in the possibilities of peace and coexistence in the middle east all right i just want to another point to raise israeli police as we're not big on dismantling the social protest encampments are the demonstrations dying down already. well i hope not i'm very supportive participated myself in some of the demonstrations i mean with close contact with some of the leaders of this the most patient i think that this tense and the most stations. arise social problems that work for a long time to collect data and society was too obsessed. with the question was the bus last night. less than the social injustices that afflict us i hope that reflects the change of the priority order and they hope that this so-called protest will complete all right just very briefly because we're running

out of time i what are your expectations on the vote in the u.n. for palestinian statehood. well i don't have of course expectations because the u.n. in the un they are a stunt even but the resolution saying that their word is flat but ultimately i think that this whole history of regarding september that you have a solution is much in such a right that i think when we look at in the future we will see this episode as nothing more than a footnote in history that they certainly are right thank you very much for your thoughts there danny diane chairman of the council of jewish settlements from a thank you thank you. now libyan rebels say they've trapped colonel gadhafi and are ready to take him dead or alive the former leader was tracked down after a lawyer in this convoys left for the neighboring country of niger the rebels are believed to have located gadhafi with high tech equipment and intelligence well

they now control most of the country after a helping hand from western nations but it's in stark contrast to how america and britain operated in libya in recent years before the end to gadhafi campaign the cia and m i six were allegedly sending terrorist suspects to libya for interrogation and torture that's according to documents on earth in libya which have sparked outrage as artie's daniel bushell reports the sign suggest the violence isn't over yet and the real chaos may be yet to come. mohamed his son is one of africa's most experienced diplomats just back from the libyan capital he says nato bombing has turned it into a ghost town that is no police. there is no administration there is no there is no it's called law and order has been replaced by a more cruel rebels some fear that the various groups who've emerged might soon stop fighting each other what's your weapon stores have been raided every man's dealt with kalashnikovs if the tribes fight for their independence to country will

enter and never ending civil war with brutal urban guerrilla warfare analysts argue that even rebel leaders don't know where their fighters of from. rebel heads mom with joel was alarmed to find islamist sleeper cells had joined his tripoli offensive the vast parallel structure of competence has appeared we have no idea who is in charge of them. hopes of a reliable replacement for more of my gadhafi appeared to be fading libya's rebels remain deeply divided while the chaos from nato bombing appears to be spreading beyond the country's borders in the turmoil there are fears that religious extremists could be using libya as a base to further their aims in north africa if i'm to new zealand or a good while of all that well denise young women got abortion rights twenty years before women in belgium under the last regime divorced women god benefits revived arab religious movements are trying to reverse that the week before the war leaders

from barack obama to nicolas sarkozy and silvio berlusconi shook and even kissed good effie's it ripples got the red carpet treatment in paris but the west will also change tack warning experts if libya doesn't go for them as planned according to this man who's just returned from war torn tripoli the message from some locals there is that the conflict may have created a frankenstein's monster for europe they warned us that we don't know what we are creating a libya it will be a free haven of extremist groups which are just on the southern border of europe poirot's from failed somalia made their coast a no go. frighteningly some diplomats now think libya is heading in the same direction but what they will do sure that it is mediterranean will not be a safe city there will be a part of us and there will be all bloat to control the mediterranean to make it safe i don't think french economy can support that western intervention in libya

has brought large numbers of new forces to the fall experts fear the west itself may come to regret their emergence daniel bushell r.t. brussels. and staying with the region's troubles the situation in syria was discussed in moscow at a meeting between the russian and french foreign ministers. of roles and his counterparts stressed the need for dialogue between the syrian government and opposition but the reading also outlined a few differences in approach france is seeking a tough sanctions on the syrian government while russia wants a more peaceful solution but both look forward to discussing possible measures at the u.n. general assembly later this month russia's foreign minister stressed that syria must not be a repeat of the libya scenario. we're convinced that it's vital today to start talks and this is actually what the syrian leadership calls for it's extremely dangerous to prompt certain forces in syria to

boycott those talks and neither russia nor from wants to see that happen every party in syria should stop using violence and we've proposed a resolution to this in fact we encourage the government to carry out the reforms it has launched and the opposition should not use provocations and reject invitations into dialogue. powerful explosion has struck the indian capital new delhi leaving eleven people dead and at least sixty five injured a pakistani terrorist group has reportedly said it carried out the blasts artis british leader has been looking into who might be behind the attack so far the home minister is actually saying that the and i am the national investigation agency has received an e-mail from hoochie or the all jihad is me which is a group that's actually outlawed here in india the group has said that they want to repeal the conviction of a man who is actually on death row right now who is allegedly responsible for bombings in the indian parliament back in two thousand and one apps parts are
