number of targets turning to gambling to make a fortune in tough economic times. the cost of life for moscow twenty four hours a day this is our team welcome to the program but moscow has seen two massive fires overnight one gripping a city skyscraper which is set to become a tourist building in europe another proved fatal for fifteen people who were sleeping when the fire started our correspondent jim acosta has more from the scene of moscow's deadliest place in five years fifteen people died in this blaze the cause of their death said to be smoking relation they were migrant workers through living and working at this warehouse located on the outskirts of moscow even on a park. i disappointed. to get in there still looking through the scene trying to

determine the exact cause of all of this blaze and to see if there are possibly could be any more bodies found no this is the second fire which occurred in the russian capital in the space of less than ten hours another blaze occurred at the moscow seat which is in the center. of the russian capital one of the structures which is still under construction by the federation caught fire from a ballad there was torn off by a very strong winds and god called on this lighting fixture you have to understand construction there is still going on workers are working twenty four seven and they need light at all times so the better god called on the sliding fixture and then the entire sixty sixth floor on the federation tower was ablaze within minutes it was truly a sight that most crowds have not seen in their very long time of course you also have to understand the efforts which were put into this by the most the

firefighters. kaldis brigades for helicopters they had to take in the water from the most cool river took them four hours to put the blaze out of course the fire in the federation tower which once completed is supposed to be the tallest structure in all of europe a very bizarre kind of string of fires in moscow one of those spectacular another not so but unfortunately very deadly. just information the death toll has now risen to seventeen people things stay with us for more on that we'll bring you any updates as we get it. what a tentative ceasefire the tense still between the syrian government and international peace and what kofi annan agreements which includes a state trooper without an end to shunning was announced in a briefing at the u.n. security council. reports there are plenty of hurdles. in syria.

the biggest news so far is that according to mr anon syria has agreed to an april tenth deadline for a partial implementation of the six point peace plan according to what is said syria has agreed to stop all acts of violence within forty eight hours of that april tenth deadline we have been reporting that kofi annan did lay out a six point peace plan a few weeks calling on all sides in syria to stop fighting stop their troop movements and stop the use of heavy artillery in heavily populated areas from the very beginning russia has fully supported kofi annan six point peace plan for syria most recently russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov reiterated moscow's support for the plan but mr lavrov indicated that the plan could be undermined by those

that are showing more support for the armed opposition in syria that russia is committed to implementing a plan and we can see the syrian government's secret steps in line with. according to each syrian government be the first to begin to pull that's a big school says this is the position. he expects and wish to call this and some arab states simply seems to be all. responsible for bloodshed in syria. just over the weekend seventeen nations gathered together it's a group that's referred to as the friends of syria they gathered for a meeting and reaffirmed their support for the opposition groups they also recognized the syrian national council as the legitimate representatives of the syrian people now the lover of said that this only undermines the peace process that is trying to be implemented in syria and also said that it this group known as

the friends of syria cannot replace the u.n. security council and it is only the u.n. security council that can really make a decision as to whether mr kofi annan peace plan is moving in the right direction or not. well unlike libya where nato members air drop weapons for the rebels in syria there's a greater reluctance to say at least mr explains what he thinks is stopping the west from carrying out a similar strategy. those who have started. the opposition in syria were predominantly belonging to the muslim brotherhood the american administration is playing it very very careful in syria the are with the principles of freedom democracy and human rights for the syrian people but the have their concerns that if when and if we will supply weapons to the

rebels it might be used against them exactly as happened in afghanistan when you supported the group. history made it and we ended up with supremacy love and nobody wants to see that anymore. egypt's leading a political force the muslim brotherhood has come under fire from the public and other political groups for nominating its own candidate in the upcoming presidential race. only a promise to stay out of the vote the decision also sparked internal frictions within the brotherhood of some of the group's top figures resigning in protest that move from dozen other is the most organizations also criticize the nomination blaming the muslim brotherhood for jeopardizing attempts to democratic change in egypt. true cairo based grants rights for journalists believes the party's domination of egypt's political scene in the country new good. the muslim

brotherhood have not been one see to push social trains so i imagine it will be quite difficult for women or for minority create think you think of the christians who obviously am not quite important in this country i think given this might have sown a very strange relationship with the ruling military council and the supreme council the armed forces i think this is where they may be some issues of the revolutionary groups because they appeared to have been doing deals with the staff higher in closed doors which could basically mean there isn't revolutionary change and this i think will be the worry for the rest of egypt. the u.k. government is set to adopt a bill allowing it to monitor all phone and internet connections between citizens voted as a battle for home security it's been compared to the u.s. patriot act adopted after nine eleven and civil liberty activists warm up and or it's just a small step away from rounding big brother for the access to private communications . requires all i p's to install these black boxes

which gives the government the ability to track all text messages e-mails phone calls where they're going they're going to and where they were sent from and while they claim that there's no content restrictions or third they're not allowed to actually take content. all of this information is all they need to then get a warrant and go after the content of the many but there's a good parallel to us here they say that they can actually word search and search for phrases and search for people's names in the contents of the e-mails with computer system they answer the keywords in and then they search all the e-mails and then once they find something then the e-mail gets sent to the human for human beings who think it's a warrant so there are ways around kind of word games and associations where the government can actually access some of the contents of the e-mail right now in great britain google rejects sixty three percent of requests from government agencies this bill will pay attention to that google can't say no and that

government will be able to get this information no matter what. across the atlantic the u.s. also sees a spy plane we don't live in a classic conflict of power drones will be able to gather intelligence bring death from above. also an r.t. dot com satellite photos show north korea is all set for its controversial rocket launch. by many countries for stirring up a little tension. investigators are searching for clues as to what caused a passenger plane crash in western siberia and they start unloading data from two flight recorders from the site thirty one people were killed when the plane hit the

ground just minutes after takeoff doctors are fighting to save the lives of twelve survivors artie's jacob reeves is in the region for us and joins us now. take a very more details emerged about the causes of the crash is it. oh yes we have a few more now these boxes a car to be analyzed in moscow provide the last few minutes of this flight is details how to find some clues an answer is also now the scene investigators yes they scour the crash site itself we've been doing that today as well now looking at the cockpit this is a range relatively intact and as such you're looking some of the dials on equipment try to get more bearing about what's occurred here have been three possible explanations already put forward one of being is either pilot error or that the company operating airline you tear to blame for the pilots was very young twenty seven years old she said celebrate his twenty eighth birthday today had it not been

for this disaster was already ruled that he had no alcohol in his blood at the time of flying this plane being questioned or so as to why this plane wasn't the ice prior to flight experts including his own very detrimental effects to the wings may not be able to function correctly or have been some blaming the operating company an airline you tear for this including officials so the blame game really starting up in earnest now the but the an official investigation though is still going to looking into different avenues one is the role of air traffic control other is if there's any malfunctions that took place with the plane itself that was deemed ok to fly fish the flight before it did take off normal les's of relatively whole plane actually came into service this particular craft in nine hundred ninety three but the model is somewhat older and has a bit of a checkered past being involved in some deadly plane crashes but as for the event

itself all took part of early monday morning shortly after takeoff pretty much immediately after there are problems arising between the pilot not being able to communicate with air traffic control then we have differing reports reports i would discount. say that there are videos of smoke coming from the plane well investigators don't think that actually happened what they think occurred is that this plane was flying about two hundred meters above ground the engines were actually function we don't know how well they're functioning they were at the time when the plane rolled twice as it plummets and as it is it hit the ground that's where the fire started that's what is broke up into three pieces. and jacob what's being done to help the survivors and indeed the relatives of those killed. thirteen people plucked from the wreckage of this plane but one died on route now the other twelve they've been treated in this hospital behind me some still in

a very critical state three were supposed to be transferred to moscow but to those simply cards at the moment too ill to travel now there were thirty one in total who were killed in this plane disaster it's a very detrimental effect on the local community as you can imagine is a commuter flights it's operates in the western part of siberia and as for the local crews who were to be team together here has galvanized the public we see them chewing up all mastered in a blog trying to help the victims of this plane crash. ok from our tuesday thanks for that. we've been gathering expert analysis of the crash here at r.t. aviation consultant and former pilot captain mark thinks it's still too early to jump to conclusions over the course. i've got over twenty thousand hours of flying

for and various types of aircraft from small turboprops similar to the one that crashed through larger intercontinental jets. when you talk about pilot error there is. generally speaking you're dealing with professional pilots and no one situation creates that as a situation by itself events lead up to somebody making a mistake or not following a prescribe checklist it's certainly in this part of the investigation it's for too early to ascertain whether or not that that was the situation again once you get the black box and determine what happened with the engines what happened with the air for old wound itself the cockpit voice recorders will tell you a lot of the transmission to be a traffic controllers whether or not to secure an emergency did been declared. you know throwing out terms like pilot error is very easy but not necessarily accurate

. but to find further details on the plane crash in western siberia go to r.t. dot com they will find the timeline and analysis of what led to the tragedy as well as more images. of a safety on some russians domestic airlines. but i wound italy where a growing number of people are turning to gambling trying to make money fast in a struggling european economy scratch cards and online poker where the industry circs estable that many find themselves fighting an addiction so that when a child reports a son the temptation is simply too much. oh. to go out. for eighty years now marco has been telling his story over and over again to other members of gamblers anonymous but even that's not long enough he says to cure himself of the addiction corcoran's being go to go away his parents wife and

because of the crisis so it's not only men who gamble it's also their wives and their children who play poker online before gambling in italy was like an erotic movie. it's like porn in a year after the us eataly has the largest law trans credit card market in the world last year alone eighty billion euros were up for grabs and while he's casinos and he put drones have been losing clients mass gambling and gambling is the only thing people spend money on here they spend three hundred four hundred years then a one hundred years and are happy because they've won when in fact they've lost two hundred this is one of the most popular ways of gambling any truly holy a how to do is scratch a strip on a ticket and you could win a fortune i wasn't but lucky today but for some the promise of becoming an instant millionaire is simply too much to resist on average ten percent of a family income any telly spends on gambling it significantly helps the government

he was the cause of home security is placed in the water with a defense contract to buy up to four hundred fifty billion gallons of i mean there are concerns about really agents using the bullets sufficient training what human nation is going to be used for journalists you can see even well the people within it. they are not federal agents so they're not as well trained they're not as well vetted these are the kinds of people who think grandmothers and little children are a threat to national security when they go through an airport and to give all of these these agents so much firepower it really does make you wonder if they know something that the american people do not know about you try out different scenarios why do they need this much ammo and certainly target practice is one option but even if they're burning through twenty million rounds a month to train their agents this is still overkill this is still too much so best case scenario this is sort of a waste of taxpayers' money and worst case scenario is they're planning for economic unrest or violent protests or something that requires our point ammunition

on a wide scale. now it's time to get all the latest financial news with katie for business this year. well at the moment we're about halfway through the russian trading day and i can tell you that both the r.t.s. and the my is that the russian bosses are holding on to their gains right now as you can bridge the positive as you can see the r.t.s. a full percentage point up point six percent for the mice it's now in the second day of the second quarter so be interesting to see how the second quarter of two thousand and twelve plays to very little of the stocks and see who's benefiting this loophole is still up and that is despite comments from associates in general the v.t. capital that their plan to boost crude outputs and quadruple dividends without adding to debt is likely because they say that expenditure will exceed call a one point four percent imposed detectors are investors aren't worried about that

we got cast from point eight percent we got machel during a well that eight percent right now and that's largely because chinese a u.s. a manufacturing boosting demand for global commodities has a really good result from natural this hour we get onto exchange rates we see how the ruble is performing and it is continuing to game against the u.s. dollar and the year i visit our and i can tell you for the first quarter of it twenty two of the ruble managed to get a nine percent against the u.s. dollar is also the best performing currency as well when compared to the brazilian of reality and the india repaid moving on to the oil prices for these hour they are still it's a clue mining that's unfolding the biggest gain in six weeks the inventor is kind to a seven month high in the u.s. as imports advance some refineries prepared to expand the output to meet some of them on as you can see around half a sense down both of those crude oil prices i mean if you go into the european
