one pm in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story doctors are currently fighting to save the lives of twelve people rescued after a passenger plane with forty three aboard crashes in russia's year old this happened just minutes after takeoff as other pilots were attempting an emergency landing for more on this we go live to our he's a really good lucia go live with the latest so arena have new details emerged about this tragedy. well this is what we know so far the plane started to develop some technical difficulties almost immediately after takeoff and as you have said the pilots have attempted to go for an emergency landing unfortunately that did not work out the last signal with the air traffic controllers just three minutes after takeoff and the plane crashed to the ground and then burst into flame . about i want to have come on there is

a way from the airport near it village now the proximity to the airport and to the village was one of the reasons why the rescue teams were able to get there rather fast cancel the hence the reason why they were able to save some of the people now the witnesses report that the plane has broken into three pieces upon impact you will be able to see that from the pictures they're also saying that well as the plane was coming down they did see black smoke coming from the engines of the plane now this is what the representatives of the local representative from the emergency ministry has told us. the rescuers took them out of the defeat area on stretchers that you helicopters helped here with the majority of the injured from the site was the passengers and the nose of the plane managed to survive the crash one woman is still in conscious and another survivor and we've gone but the rest are gone since most people have suffered brain injuries right. here you know what are

investigators saying right now about the cause of the crash. they have recovered the flight data recorder so they're looking at those very closely right now they have ruled out the possibility of the terror attack that's been crossed off the list they are saying that there are two possible causes for the crash one is a technical error and the other one is that a pilot error at this point we also know that all four crew members on board are dead they have been identified to the rest of the bodies are being identified right now the pilot unfortunately it was very very young in fact his twenty eighth birthday was supposed to be to morrow the ministry of emergencies is sending three planes to two men carrying special medical equipment doctors and teams also colleges we also know that the relatives and knows the closest people to those who have suffered in this plane crash and of course of those who have died in this plane crash there are also going. to this is you have to men also the crews will be

working with them as well they will probably need some psychological aid that is what we know about the possibility the possible causes of the plane crash at the moment and unfortunately this isn't the only passenger plane tragedy we've had recently in russia tell us more about that. of course not unfortunately one of the most prominent plane crashes occurred in september of last year and jaroslav all. plane carrying the entire motive hockey team crashed immediately after takeoff pilot error was to blame for that crash according to the investigation. it was a plane crash which are made a huge impact not just on people in russia but old over the world because a lot of the people who were on board in fact. eleven of the crew members were foreigners of course also the team was very well known in the world for as one of the brightest does one of the brightest hockey teams right now a lot of those who

a lot of the players on board were actually playing for any child so again that was a huge tragedy that was felt around the globe another plane crash occurred earlier that year in june when the plane was there which was going from most countries of all it's going to northwest of russia has crashed right before lending again pilot error and extremely unfavorable weather conditions were to blame for that plane crash which took the lives of forty four people but the differences between those plane crashes and this one which we're talking about right now is that those two planes were russian made in this instance we're talking about it an eighty or seventy two which is a french made plane it was only employed in russia by this company air which is operating this particular flight as well so this is the first instance of this particular aircraft crashing in russia of course the investigation is continuing i know we're. we'll bring you the latest as we get it absolutely thanks very much for

that update our t's are really delusional. here and out of other stories we're covering on our t.v. 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 it accepted last week the friends of syria group believes 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 r.t. sorry for christmas. talks of ending the violence on the inside it depends if syria come friends. outside day and take his riot police with getting heavy handed if they dispersed a tiny place syrian government gathering well they find it hard at the moment first thing about this break but their actions going he seemed to say to further anger already around the crowds. quote. we

want just to have the gun i want. so it's nothing. new but we can't force. the inflight only get over the fact. that. the complex. conference continued throughout the afternoon and they say talk is cheap defense to 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 group the syrian national council and some of the friends of syria had hateful with calls to ape in the on the free syrian army becoming stronger 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 have to skip over the border violence

got to. negotiations they tell us won't work the opposition will not back down from this fight nor they feel will president is fast despite the syrian government's along with the international community having signed up to the un envoy to syria kay financed peace plan at the friends of syria conference the parties have already decided who is the legitimate representative of the syrians friends of syria people support the initial call an int declared by shooting nation council. syrian issue council illegitimately present a few for all syrians the seemingly one sided approach is a part of the reason why russia and china has dismissed degree. concerns that 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 accept the kofi annan plan as the western countries are still giving aid to the opposition at the meeting there in the 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 temple. journalist and political analyst christophe horsetail says he isn't surprised by stories of the friends of syria paying salaries to syrian rebels he tells are key financial aid and weapons have been fired away into the country since the start of the unrest 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 bed all experts know cried clearly that must have been. prearranged from the summer of two thousand and ten and there 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 start right now i did try it diplomatically there try in diplomatic bickering about about dealing with communication equipment this is a ridiculous show these people these are praises in syria from the start from outside. stay with us here on r t star on the way europe's dark spot. to see who goes all finally facing up to this problem and holding people

accountable it's over that investigation into evidence of a secret cia prison on its territory where it's clean prisoners were tortured. but first from the pirate party of russia to the group headed by billionaire take. of there's no shortage of fresh political blood hoping to find a chair in russia's duma and this week with the president expected to sign a new laws making it easier for parties to register the competition could get a whole lot tougher artes and he said now wait reports from. politics in russia may never be the same protest have become a common sight and new parties are registering left and right as political reform starts reason them so former deputy prime minister in the ninety's is no stranger to the white house. was long off the political radar until a sunday mass protest movement picked up after vast crowd claims against the

december parliamentary vote now might be his chance to get back in the game will crush only by the other could just about see it but my proposal is for any party with five hundred members that is it's now less than fifty percent of russia's regions should be registered you've got something that you on the stunning but number ones pushing for easy party registration is already seen faults as it was of the students and now there will be hundreds of part just registered hundreds of democratic socialist nationalist ballot seats will be kilometers long. and founder of the love has been trying to officially get into politics for years but there are . known for his staunch nationalism russian marches and tough rhetoric but 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 is one party the readings 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 himself billionaire crew who are 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 if you're with us or with more than five and a half million people voted for me trusted me for that reason i will form a new political force a strong party. it seems everyone wants to doing the party and start one self exams and want to breeze berezovsky in london and me i'll go to her child 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 elliot 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. you can always log on to our website for even more comments out of dallas so here's what's a click away right now. r t visited some of the darkest reminders of russia's soviet past a museum based on the gulag forced labor camps to hear terrifying flashbacks from former inmates. plus amazing pictures and video of a miraculous escape almost seven hundred fishermen saved from an ice floe that broke our precious far east coast taking hundreds of people into freezing waters.

so he dismissed as a rumor claims of a secret cia prison in poland are now being investigated prime minister donald tusk pledged a thorough probe into existing evidence the country's former intelligence chief already faces charges from a cia officer ray mcgovern explains the significance of the revelations these high high value suspects were to be given enhanced cherry asian techniques and that of course meant it needed a secure place to do them the story broke in a crash many years ago but not it so now that the polls are pretty much it needed but a small say that there was condoned by the secret service of poland by their intelligence people and by their top officials kudo's to call it so finally facing up to this problem and holding people accountable 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 that the kind of abuses that happened and the cheney bush regime are continuing anywhere else in the worlds. he's painful at times of severe cuts and austerity in italy the autonomy's region of south taro in the cradle of the alps stands as one of the country's few islands of prosperity with the italian debt burden lighting hard he's a katherine groucho for a poor it's now the wealth gap is leading to a rise in support for a breakaway from rome. lost in translation between the alps and the mediterranean a population of half a million people and a lot of to become independent one day itself to roll a probe in sanaa lathan all these has never been italian says ever claude's as showing off her native town of. just spent thirty years of her life fighting for independence. people in the sea where tear all their languages german were taken

but it's an interesting case where the arms are revolutionaries can actually make a difference in the sense that ok john just you know i would be contrary to what is the difference ok the difference is that being aware of what's going on on the ground in 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. dr jet over to the business desperately standing by with all the latest in the world of fire and. should you have a russian markets managing to you know what they are actually and i want of the only stocks in the world that managing to do so at the moment it's been a real change of fortune across the board are we talking about the let's stick to the russian markets for now and they're continuing to gain for the second day out shoot as you can see we've got point some sun up for the alps yes and around half a percent for the my sights on this one bit of economic news coming out of the
