looking through this scene trying to determine the exact cause of this blaze and to see if there 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 adds the most goes to see i was in the center. of the russian capital one of the structures which was still under construction by the federations how are caught fire from a ballad there was torn off by a very strong wind gods cause 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 they better taught on the sliding fixture and then the entire sixty sixth floor of the federation tower was ablaze within minutes it was truly a sight that most guys 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 good firefighters. karla's brigades for helicopters we had to take in the water from the mall school river took them for our super god blaze out of course the fire in the federation tower which once completed is supposed to be the tallest structure in all of europe. you can find more footage and photos of the two fires on our web site archie got. a u.n. peacekeeping team is due to arrive in syria within the next two days to pave the way for a new monitoring mission to the country that's the syrian government agrees to attempt to cease fire by april tenth and a deal brokered by special envoy to syria kofi annan was our tears were important i reports there are plenty of hurdles still ahead and not all of them 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 and boarding 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 his 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 and have believed 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 that 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's committee to implement the unknowns and we can see the occlusions of syrian government's steps in law in. accordance to

its work with the syrian government. to begin to pull its real school says this is a dream position. i don't wish to call this and some arab states simply seem signal to the only response to the 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 a lover of said that this only undermines the peace process that is trying to be implemented in syria he also said that it this group known as the friends of syria cannot replace the un security council and it is only the un security council that

can really make a decision as to whether mr kofi annan peace plan is moving in the right direction or not. unlike libya where nato members air dropped weapons for the rebels and in syria there's greater a lot to do so middle east analysts are fancy 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 would be our principles of freedom democracy and human rights for the syrian people but the concerns that if when and if the will supply weapons to the rebels it might be used against them exactly as afghanistan when you support

a group. because. we ended up with eleven nobody wants to see that anymore. and we did the leading 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 the movement broke its earlier promise to stay out of the vote but the decision also sparked internal frictions within the brotherhood with some of the group's top figures resigning in protest that move over a dozen other islamist organizations also criticized the nomination blaming the muslim brotherhood for jeopardizing the town's democratic change in egypt well true apparel based freelance writer and journalist believes the party's domination of egypt's politics will do the country no good. images of it have not been one see to push social change so i imagine it will be quite difficult for women of a minority create think using court to christians who obviously are not quite important in this country i think it was some of them have shown

a very strange relationship with the ruling military council and the supreme council the armed forces i think this is where they maybe some issues in the revolutionary groups i mean they appear to have been doing deals with this cast the hind closed doors which could basically mean that there isn't revolutionary change and this i think will be the worry for the rest of the future of egypt. here is our t. line from moscow coming up for you later this hour the u.k. is said to adopt big brother practices from overseas a new communication monitoring bill macy everyone's internet and phone contacts revealed to the government. investigators are searching for clues as to what caused a passenger plane crash in western siberia as they started unloading data from two flight recorders found at 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 trial survivors marti's jacob greets is in the region for us. family

members are currently gathered at the site where the plane crashed to pay their respects to loved ones this comes as twelve people are still fighting for their lives the survivors from this plane crash many of them being treated in hospital you see nine undergo operations many still in a critical status only one has been able to be said to moscow for further treatment as that crash itself there are a number of scenarios being investigated they do have the black box of a where is being set that is being looked at and analyzed in moscow present also investigators scoured this site are looking at the top it remains relatively intact looking there at some of the equipment to see if it gives away any clues as to what happened here how we know the three possibilities are being looked into the blade of the pilot's pilot's error and that's the airliner you tear the other part is

quite young twenty seven years old that she said celebrate his twenty eighth birthday today had it not be for this disaster that he had no alcohol in his blood at the time line there are questions being asked why this plane was a properly d.r.s. experts including this likely affected the ability for it to fly and for the wings the function now the blame for this has been leveled by some like you said the airline is bold indeed local officials now saying that's probably a fundamental reason for this crash nonetheless the investigation officially remains very much open as such they're also looking into the out needs of fly control whether or not they were to blame nor so if there's a plane malfunction involved in this scenario and we know that it was fit to fly before takeoff nonetheless we're dealing with a craft that actually came in one thousand nine hundred ninety three but it is an older model as for the event itself took part. shortly. tape very much

immediately after their problems arising. communicate with air traffic control we have differing reports reports eyewitness accounts. of smoke coming from the plane while 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 she fucks you don't know how well they're functioning they were at the time the plane rolled twice as it plummets and as it did what it hit the ground that's when the thought started that's when it broke up into three pieces. well to find further details on the plane crash in western siberia go to our she got com and though you find the timeline and then our search on what could have led to the tragedy as well as more images than a look at concerns over safety on some of russia's domestic keralites.

well the u.k. government is set to adopt a bill allowing it to monitor all phone and internet connections between citizens promoted as vital for home security it's been compared to the u.s. patriot act adopted after nine eleven well civil liberties activists warn that the law is just a small step away from handing big brother full access to private communications. it requires all i s 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 to they're going to and where they were sent from and well it's basically in that there's no content restrictions or they're not allowed to actually take content it's all of this information that is all they need to then get a warrant and so after the contents of the e-mails anyway so 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 key words in and then they search all the e-mails and then once they find something then the e-mail get sent to the human human being who then gets 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-mails right now in great britain google rejects sixty three percent overpriced from government agencies and this bill will say essentially that google can't say no and the government will be able to get in circulation no matter what. and across the atlantic the u.s. also sees a spine plan read online about a project of nuclear power drones that will be able to gather intelligence and bring that from bob. also on r.t. dot com a satellite photos show north korea is all set for its controversial rocket launch condemned by many countries for stirring up regional tension all of that for you and artemia.

well first the political reforms promised by president medvedev has just been signed into law out the kremlin it's intended to simplify and open up a process of registering political parties and will come into force tomorrow let's not go to our correspondent peter oliver who is following these latest developments here breakdown for us what exactly this new law and these reforms will mean. will fundamentally this new law will just make it's considerably easier to register a political party in russia no previous you needed forty thousand signatures in order to establish establish a new political party this new law will see that limited to five hundred so a considerable drop in the amount of support that is needed to you to start up

a political party and also you see these are the feet that's needed to pay. tribute to the little cloud but it's not a vast amount of signatures that's needed it's being dropped which is the key issue now what this means is well it's be much much more difficult i beg your pardon for a party political party to be abolished no previously this could have happened do you say a drop off in support of a certain part of russia of course the biggest country. in the world very diverse nation as far as where political supports gleamed if a party dropped off say inside it was still popular in moscow they could have gone out of business as it were this will stop that from happening now. president dmitry medvedev was told by some critics of this law that they should it shouldn't be done that it was it would result in a very an increase in the amount of parties that were too small to really do

anything however it's something that the president is. an important issue to force through and he's he's done just that with say we're just over a month now before he steps down from from the top job in the country. now he was speaking addressing a group of the group of lawmakers who helped this be put into place as well as leaders of the so-called non-parliamentary opposition basically people who didn't get enough seats in the vote that you told to take seats in the in the state duma following the elections in december now this was an issue that had been pushed following those elections that resulted in protests in moscow as well as elsewhere however the police some of the leaders of that protest movement particular boris nemtsov had been critical of the decision to to pass this law. saying this well it would result in opposition being too fragmented the ability to set up

a political party with just five hundred supporters of course in russia the constitution doesn't allow coalitions to be formed saying that well without its pretty toothless it could result in as i say. a. opposition without the ability without the support to really challenge the government so it's gone through but it isn't without its critics peter our live from central moscow thanks. it only a growing number of people are turning to gambling trying to make money fast in a struggling european economy scratch cards and online poker have made the industry so accessible that many find themselves fighting an addiction their thirty's you considering a great show or reports for some the temptation is simply too much. oh. you. were eight 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 with a book around being go to go away his parents wife and several jobs at one point he resorted to stealing money from his mother. for a perfect world of gambling with the king and the and then bring them over me i got to grow up i was there in your world view. markel started gambling when he was eight legs then there were no t.v. law tricks but there were beautiful movies and irresistible you were for potential gamblers. early in august i got me a thriller that i can't really give and. desperate to win their fortune in modern easily around and million gamblers a figure growing rapidly due to the economic crisis in. marketing has

a fortune i wasn't that lucky today but first son the promise of becoming an instant millionaire is simply too much to resist on average ten percent of a family income any tilley spent on gambling it significantly helps the government feel its coffers of the health minister is beating the law are gambling will soon be included on the list of knowledge diseases and it will change everything but will work on prevention complaints will offer psychological assistance to gamblers and will also enlarge medical programs the health minister also proposes amending the current. law to take lotteries all the television and seriously restrict gambling but before this happens for marco and his other fellows overcoming addiction will remain a question of self discipline and faith. exceeding aggression over our t. rowe. well much of the economic hardship gripping italy and europe at large has often been attributed to speculation by big banks intent only on profit coming up
