a medium distances. this is pictures of the plane you're looking at right now that kind of plane later on in the program we'll have arts he's going to lucia go give us an update on this story so stay with us. turning first to other news here on our t.v. special envoy to syria kofi annan is due to give a to do to brief the u.n. security council on how damascus has complied with the latest peace plan of except for the last week the friends of syria group believes that president assad has failed to implement the plan the group's meeting in istanbul has seen some gulf nations allegedly deciding to pay salaries to rebels fighting the syrian regime are key sarah ferguson more. talks of ending the violence on the inside it depends it's a vehicle. for you to go outside they can take you right nice the getting heavy handed they dispersed a tiny piece of the gathering. right

there actions going he seemed to say they were hanging around mallet. just to. the gun aren't good and so. moved by the force. things like that only get it over the fact there's an awful creative effort to find a place like. the conference continued throughout the afternoon and they say talk is cheap some of the friends of syria have pledged millions of dollars for the free syrian army effectively putting the rebels on a foreign payroll however even this didn't go as far as the opposition the syrian national council and some of the friends of syria had paid for with calls to

a purely on the free syrian army becoming stronger the haze country turkey is now home to twenty thousand displaced syrians refugee camps near the border see a continual flow of new arrivals and these we met nearly all have tales of war videos and the things you just. have to scream over the border on the violence got through. negotiations they tell us while we're the opposition will not back down from this bite nor they feel we'll have it in fast despite the syrian government's along with the international community having signed up to the un envoy to syria case he announced peace plan at the friends of syria conference the parties where he decided to just not representative the syrians france or syria she didn't people support the mission called an int declared by shooting nation council we see syrian issue council illegitimate representative of all syrians this

seemingly one sided approach is a part of the reason why russia and china has dismissed the great. concerns of excluding the assad government from talks undermines diplomatic efforts to end the violence if they want to help syria the two engaged. the syrian government in diplomatic talks on neutral ground it's quite quite clear that president assad is not going to. you know except of course you know he's clearly as the western countries are still giving aid to the opposition and then we think that in a message to president assad it's clear that when it comes to the into location of the peace plan time is running out it's so i think it's the. journalist and political analyst christoph horsetail says he isn't surprised by stories that the friends of syria group is paying salaries to syrian rebels he tells r.t. financial aid and weapons have been fighting their way to the country since the start of the uprising they are being paid since

a long time since the beginning and since we have an eyewitness now the ex lebanon correspondent of mr ali hashem who went away in disgust from jersey who said in april two thousand and ten it was two thousand and eleven sorry april two thousand and eleven i have personally witnessed hundreds of people crossing the border from lebanon into syria from there all experts know quite clearly that must have been pre-planned and prearranged from the summer of two thousand and ten and that kills the whole story the west and some of these corrupt arab allies including unfortunately turkey are making out of syria so what we can say now the sort of see neo colonial battle of the west against syria is in in a way stalled right now they tried diplomatically they tried in diplomatic bickering about god dealing with communication equipment this is all a ridiculous show these people these are praises in syria from the start from

outside. a passenger plane carrying forty three people as we reported earlier has crashed in the year as the accident happened minutes after the jet took off from the airport in the city of two minutes for more on this as promised we go live to our keys a really good loucheux standing by with all the latest serina what do we know so far about this tragedy. well we know that the plane carrying out thirty nine passengers with four crew members went down minutes after takeoff in the city off two men disappeared off the reader all raiders almost immediately as you have said so far we know about seventeen survivors sixteen of bodies have been recovered at the crash site planes which followed up on takeoff after this just aircraft a.t.r. seventy two reported fire from the crash site which was really close to a village near about thirty kilometers from the city of jenin and that was partly the reason why the rescue teams were able to get it to the scene of the disaster

rather quickly and hence why the and that is why they managed to so far actually have a rather large number are survivors said at least that's what we're being told by the emergencies me the stories now of course the teams the rescue teams are still working at the crash site this fire at this point has been extinguished they're still looking for bodies and possible other survivors. of course the been a series of emergencies a plane is also going to head to two men from moscow actually it's all its way right now with doctors and teams of psychologists on board in order to help all those who have survived or the relatives of those who have been in and a plane crash of course and the more details we get on this particular of this particular crash we will bring them to you as soon as we can never in a russia has seen a disturbing number of passenger plane crashes over the last year tell us more about these recent accidents. well last year we could talk about the two most recent bigger biggest. airplane incidents in russia last year and those were the

first occurred in june of two thousand and eleven when a plane went down in the studio the choice of words about also. so that was that plane was actually heading out of that plane was not taking up it was actually just sending out we know that forty seven people hostile to that instance it of course another plane crash which occurred in september of last year that was the. the plane carrying the hockey team on board members of which are made up russia's two time champion hockey. hockey squad there are forty four people i'm sorry yes forty four people have been killed in that flash and dad's plane crashed in one of the biggest disasters in russia's recent history it was especially because of the fact that a lot of very young and very promising players hockey players have been on board made a lot of resonance here in russia and in the world as well so those are the two biggest star incidents when it comes to plane crashes which happen in which have occurred

in russia in recent times a writer to go live without a big from central moscow thank you. well stay with us here on our team still to come on the program europe's dark spot. is shaky kudo's to call it finally facing up to this problem and holding people accountable hold admits it's open up an investigation into evidence of a secret cia prison and its territory where it's claimed prisoners were tortured. but first from the pirate party of russia to the group headed by billionaire. there is no shortage of fresh political blood hoping to find a place in russia's parliament this week the president is expected to sign a new laws making it easier for them to register their competition could get a whole lot tougher are things and he said now reports on what's become a real party russia. politics in russia may never be the same protest have become

a common sight and new parties are registering left and right and it's political reform starts reason them so former deputy prime minister in the ninety's is no stranger to the white house. you know him from was one off the political radar until a sudden mass protest movement picked up after vast fraud claims against the december parliamentary vote now might be his chance to get back in the game to pressure only by you know to create just about suit but one proposal is for any party with five hundred members that represents no less than fifty percent of russia's regions should be registered. but if you're on the street only the number wants pushing for easy party registration is already seen thoughts it was of dissidents now there will be hundreds of part just registered hundreds of democratic socialist nationalist balance sheets will be kilometers long. and its

founder bill of has been trying to officially get into politics for years there are only. known for his staunch nationalism russian marches and tough rhetoric and love could now have a good chance of getting into parliament and already has a plan. but there will be many nationalist parties registered so our first goal will be to get together on one ballot is one party agree on a readings in news already popular aspects of a movement to win seats nationalists will have tough competition not least from a new face who has already proved himself billionaire broker of a sensation in the presidential vote announcing his candidacy just months before and coming in third now promising to work hard for the middle class. more than five and a half million people voted for me who trusted me for that reason i will form

a new political force strong party. it seems everyone wants to join the party and start want self exams and want to grease good results in london and we'll go to her charge of have both said they have plans to launch political forces for those looking for a wider choice they may well be able to vote for a party of love sub tropic rush or a party of friends of elliott's but if before there were complaints of too few parties it may now well be too many perhaps putting the days of a so-called technical russian parliament behind but a new russian political system that works still some way off and he's now a r.t. muska. or you can always log on to our web site for more comments and analysis here's what's a click away right now. r t visited one of the darkest reminders of the soviet past a museum dedicated to the group log forced labor camps to hear terrifying flashbacks from its former inmates plus. amazing pictures of

from the rest of to rule before so most a hundred years ago we have seen precious which has affected our language closed our schools and our songs and now changes our regional name into. enough really ever close refers to how these german speaking territory was occupied by eataly at the end of the first world war and was an exchange nine hundred ninety after world war two the allies decided that the province would remain a part of easily but would be granted a certain level of self-government goes on already enjoys the status of an autonomy for example ninety percent of the tax revenue from these coffee will stay in the region while the other ten of all go to rome but we cannot make prices taking grieve over the country every single sound so i'm still awake nationalist feelings and this is the situation the politicians are all too ready to take advantage of we

asked the chairman of the popular libertarian sporty how she would answer an italian from a poor region of the country who wanted to know why selfishly roll doesn't want to hold rescue them for so long i don't give him a cup of coffee and will then have a long discussion softer role is not in charge of saving equally and couldn't have done so even if it wanted to each only use of that housekeeper and lots of debts we're not paying for better with our money. theirs and ours are the two words which we hear very often insult to roll and money is at the core of the dispute the time is expected to contribute one hundred twenty million euros to cleaning up the telling national budget to do so it will have to raise real estate the eighty's and income taxes as well as these pay by farmers instead the south to roll economics minister it wants to buy its freedom from easily once and for all even names of

a painful austerity drive but will the cuts alone cure the block's troubles was one of the questions are these tests are so your petition called tree share your former head of the european central bank. with the school still he very often he's only that instead of spending much more than you were you spend more than you were and that these three spending you are you know that what you've heard so how could you call that austerity if you that. then you improve comfort and by improving from what you give a chance to growth and job creation i think if you do so in the way the. problems of the a.p. center of a larger problem which is you know characterizing all the advanced economy in my you would understand of the situation.

full interview coming your way in about fifteen minutes here on our team so stay with us after the main news. previously dismissed as rumor claims of a secret cia prison in poland are now under investigation prime minister donald tusk has pledged a thorough probe into existing evidence the country's former intelligence head is already facing charges former cia officer ray mcgovern explains the significance of the revelations. these high high value suspects were to be given enhanced interrogation techniques and that of course meant that it needed a secure place to do them but a story broke in our press many years ago put not it till now have the holes pretty much it made it that a small site at air was condoned by the secret service of poland by their intelligence people and by their top officials who chose to call it finally facing up to this problem and holding people accountable for accountability is

a noun that has been missing from the vocabulary of washington officials and even jurists the us administration has asserted the right to continue to do rendition but i have no indication to pick kind of abuses that happened under the cheney bush regime are continuing anywhere else in the worlds. poland is among many countries that have given the green light to a controversial active bill instantly becoming a target of online condemnation but how do you see internet change the modern world including its political landscape coming up later r t's crossed out delve deeper into that with a full show at seven thirty g.m.t. take a look. well first of all i don't think of the internet generally speaking as a medium it's more like an environment and i think that matters ok because part of what's going on here is people who are otherwise isolated in opinion and there are fearful of that opinion being divulged in their context are suddenly made aware of

the fact that many other people share that opinion they have a place that they can gather and find out that they're not alone that makes a huge difference now and they're also sharing it with a whole bunch of armchair revolutionaries and i've been one in some of these cases but it's an interesting case where the armchair revolutionaries can actually make a difference in the sense that ok john just to me why we should be contrary to what is the difference ok just to be contrarian what is the difference the difference that the the difference is that that being aware of what's going on on the ground and a pretty granular way makes it possible to deliver the people to the people on the ground tools that make it easier for them to conduct the revolution that they're engaged in. and.

stand out as in other stories making headlines across the globe north korean and u.s. officials held an informal talks amid tensions over killing yang's plans to launch a long range rocket in the next few weeks meeting in germany comes after the u.s. called for the launch to be cancelled over concerns that might be a cover for a long range missile tests north korea denies this and says the launch will be. put a satellite into orbit. you can argentina america in the thirtieth anniversary of the beginning of the falklands war memorials are being held to memorialize almost a thousand people who are killed in the conflict this comes amid strained relations between the two countries with buenos aires threatening legal action against companies involved in drilling for oil in the waters off the islands coast. let's return again to this hour's breaking news a passenger plane carrying forty three people was crashed in russia's year olds just after takeoff latest information we have suggest at least sixteen people have survived the crash local rescue services say they think some of the victims were

a competing survey i hate just b.c. showing the sets and moving deeper into contraction so it looks like investors are taking the haters that be see more aboard relate if you look at japan the nikkei is a completely different viewpoint the stocks are not the first day of the new cool to see day and that's because of the japanese exporters of really benefiting from that gains of nearly twenty percent in the first quarter of twenty two world and it's carmakers that is doing particularly well with even though. we've got honda up two point nine percent they get a half of their revenue from north america as they're benefiting from a stronger the full cost us consumer sentiment in spending which is really boosting optimism on the global economy carissa lots of chatter about the u.s. markets let's see how they finished up on a friday evening. as you can see it was a slightly makes page we've got the nasdaq just a fraction a down the now the dow jones. up as far as america's concerned the dow jones
