moment. the latest information we have right now thirty one dead twelve survived in this tragedy of course we've seen a number of tragedies like this plane crashes in russia in recent years tell us more about those. well one of the plane crashes the which occurred and was the last year in june a plane flying from moscow took pictures of all went down in extremely in extreme weather conditions just before landing now forty forty four people on board also over forty four people on board all of them died unfortunately also another plane crash they occurred in garcia level in september of last year and that was that the airplane which was carrying a level hockey team over to belo arose out of the forty five people on board forty three have died during it during the plane crash which occurred also just after

takeoff one of the hockey players died later in hospital and only the flight engineer faster by now when both of these our plane crashes either human error or weather conditions were to blame and no those statistics we are the two prime reasons for. are startling crashes but in this particular circumstance it's too early in the investigation to say what exactly caused the plane crash there have been some reports that the air pilot of the plane was just twenty seven years old but of course shouldn't that age determine the level of expertise and again the investigation is has just started and we have to find out more details about the possible causes of this unfortunate incident of course this is as we know it will bring you all the latest absolutely we will thank you ortiz or inclusion for that latest update. special envoy to syria kofi annan is due to brief the u.n. security council on how damascus has complied with the latest peace plan of accepted last week but friends of syria group always president assad has failed to

implement a plan the group's meeting is has seen some gulf nations allegedly decided to pay salaries to rebels fighting the syrian regime or sarah ferguson more on that. talks of ending the violence on the inside the venza syria conference alcide day and take issue riot police were getting heavy handed as they dispersed a tiny processor in government gathering. behind a crowd. first thing about the threat to their actions only seemed to serve to further a rowdy crowd. us house and quote. we want just. a gun aren't good and those who are not. moved out of the force. the influx only get at. the start. of the conflict and.

become friends continued throughout the afternoon and they say talk is cheap the friends assyria 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 great the syrian national council and some of the friends of syria had paid for with calls to a plea on the free syrian army becoming stronger his 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 mess nearly all have tales of war videos things to support. we had to skip over the border when the violence got too bad negotiations they tell us won't work the opposition will not back down from this fight nor they feel will president assad despite the syrian government along with the international community having signed up to the un envoy

to syria cape fear peace plan at a friends of syria conference the parties have already decided who is the legitimate representative of the syrians. france of syria syrian people support the mission called an int declared by soon the issue council we see seed initially consul illegitimate representative for all syrians this seemingly one sided approach is a part of the reason why russia and china has dismissed. concerns that excluding the assad government from talks undermines diplomatic efforts to end the violence if you want to help syria be to engage the syrian government in diplomatic talks on neutral ground it's quite quite clear and present assad is not going to. you know accept the cause you know and peace plan as the western countries are still giving aid to the opposition agony in a message to president assad with clear when it comes to the implementation of the

peace plan time is running out so i think it's standard. journalist and political analyst christophe horsetail says he isn't surprised by stories of the friends of syria group giving salaries to syrian rebels he tells r.t. financial aid and weapons have been fighting their way into 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 zero mr ali hashem who went away in disgust. 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 preplanned and prearrange 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 of turkey are making out of syria so what we can see now the sort of neo colonial battle of the west. again syria is in in a way start right now to try a diplomatic only they try in diplomatic bickering you know about about dealing with communication equipment this is a ridiculous show these people these are phrases in syria are armed from the start from outside. stay with us here at r.t. still on the way europe's dark spot. to see who goes to hold a vote finally facing up to this problem and holding people accountable for its opening an investigation into evidence of a secret cia prison out its territory where it's claimed prisoners were torture. but first from the pirate party of russia to the new group headed by billionaire tycoon michael perper of there's no shortage of fresh political blood hoping to fight its place in russia's parliament this week with the president expected to

sign a new laws making it easier for them to register of the competition could get a whole lot tougher archies and he said our reports on what's become a real party rush. politics in russia may never be the same protests have become a common sight and new parties are registering left and right and it's a political one form starts reason i'm so former deputy prime minister in the ninety's is no stranger to the white house. i see. him for who was long off the political radar and it was fun in 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 or pressure only by the other could just about see it but my proposal is that any party with five hundred members there as its new u.s. will feel a sense of russia's regions should be registered stick but something that you on

the stunning and then found once pushing for easy party registration is already seen fawns as it was of the students but now there will be hundreds of part just registered hundreds of democratic socialist nationalists that it seats will be kilometers not. i found it to be a lot of has been trying to officially get into politics for years but there are there are. known for his staunch nationalism russian marches and tough rhetoric the love could now have a good chance of getting into parliament and already has a plan that. there will be many nationalist parties registered sora first goal will be to get together on one ballot as one party to bring up a reading is in use already popular aspects of a movement to win seats nationalists will have tough competition not least from a new face who has already proved to the south billionaire brokered

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 just of me for that reason i will form a new political force a strong party who would it seems everyone wants to doing the party and start want so exiled and want to breeze berezovsky in london and me for no good what so 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 subtopic russia or a party of friends of allianz 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. moscow remember you can always log on to our website for more comment and analysis
