this city thankfully no nobody died in that particular fire. well you can find more footage and photos of the two fires on our website our t. car com. and other news syria now has a week to start implementing the joint un arab league envoy for peace plan kofi annan told the security council that the government has agreed to complete the troop withdrawal from towns and cities by next tuesday while opposition fighters that have forty eight hours to cease their fighting the u.n. peacekeeping planners are heading to syria to pave the way for a new monitoring mission however saudi arabia and its allies have agreed to pay gravels fighting the syrian regime the money is part of a broader pledge by more than seventy arab and western countries to provide non-lethal aid to the opposition maybe analysts might funk he explains what he thinks is stopping the west from supporting the syrian rebels militarily those who

have started. the opposition in syria were predominantly belonging to the muslim brotherhood the american administration is very very careful in syria be are with the principles of freedom democracy and human rights for the syrian people but the have their concerns that if when and if the will supply weapons to the rebels it might be used against them exactly as happened in afghanistan when you supported the object of the group. because we made it and we have very little nobody wants to see that anymore. he did leading political party the muslim brotherhood has named its presidential candidate for the upcoming election that's despite previous promises avoiding the race with the nomination of course. is drawing all around criticism even some of

its own members have resigned in protest other is the most groups can down the brotherhood for putting democratic change at risk because it already dominates parliament and the group which is drafting the country's new constitution well true who is a freelance journalist think karl rove believes a muslim brotherhood monopoly in government will have a negative impact on egypt the muslim brotherhood have not been one see to push social change so i imagine it'll be quite difficult for women or for minority groups including coptic christians who obviously quite important in this country i think you're missing what they 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 of the revolutionary groups i mean they appear to have been doing deals with the sky behind closed doors which could basically mean there isn't revolutionary change and this i think will be the worry for the rest you know for the future of egypt. still

ahead for you this hour here on r t the final moments of the passenger plane which crashed in western siberia aircraft came apart on impact during an emergency landing which led troubled survivors out of the forty three on board. but the stakes are high for italy which is coming virtually a gambling problem as people place more trust in the lottery than chance their luck with the government. but first it's now easier for political groups in russia to register as official parties president medvedev has put pen to paper on a new ball which is the first in a series of major reforms to diversify the country's political landscape we're now on this for march he's peter all over joins us live from central moscow peter just how much will the new law change the dynamics of russian politics. well it's going

to have quite a significant impact on the the political landscape in russia now the call for change really came about following the parliamentary elections in december of last year following those of those that polish we saw. thousands of people out on the streets protesting what they saw was. irregularities in the end the voting system one of the main points that they were making was that there wasn't enough political parties enough political choice for voters in russia now what they see law changes is what makes it much easier for a political party to be registered previously you needed forty thousand members forty thousand signatories in order to set up a political party law number five hundred so a dramatic. drastic decrease in the amount of the amount of signatories to the needed most signatures that are needed to establish

a political party. also does is it makes it more difficult for a political party to be just as it makes it easier for them to be creative and and harder for them to be to be put out of business is it would know previously the justice minister could have refused the registration of a political party based on allegations of irregularities that has been stamped out that's not the case anymore it's not going to be much more difficult for a political party to be refused the right to register. take us through the opposition's reaction to this i understand it's not getting universal approval but this is something that they were pushing for before. well this is the changes to the law something that the opposition had been quite vocal about send their voices were heard by dimitri made good of the president he said that he wanted to put this to you despite some some objections to it some criticism of it from inside his his

own party he said no this was an idea he wanted to put forward but now that it's been signed into play though what we're hearing from some of the opposition is that they're not entirely happy with that. they say that the fact that it will lead to just too many political parties that the the power that's needed to be a successful opposition no to counter that the government is saying that the ability to establish a new political parties much easier will be will allow a broader representation of the the russian people. but this is just part of a series of reforms that president may get is that he wanted to put into place among those the direct election over regional governors in russia now that's something that also has the full backing of the president elect to play to me and so where do we see that that that's a political reform coming into play under dimitri made good of in the in the

presidential office or whether we have to wait until the timea putin is inaugurated in may right our peter all over reporting live from central moscow thanks for that update. and battle for india's lucrative to france market is intensifying but a scanner one valving the country's military chief could see a reshuffle among foreign suppliers indians defense ministry minister i should say has already banned for firms and i could see russia help gap parties preassure has more now from new delhi. major scandal here in india actually india's army chief v.k. singh has written a letter to india's prime minister is saying that the army's tanks are actually out of ammunition and that the infantry is short of critical weapons and he actually came to the defense ministry over a weapons lobbyist who was supposedly bribing him and the defense ministry kind of

looked the other way which is sort of highlighting one of the major issues in india that has been at the forefront throughout this year which is corruption but what this is doing is actually providing an opportunity for many countries and one of the biggest ones on that list would be russia to take advantage of the fact that india needs to renu its military technology clearly india is expected to spend one hundred billion dollars on defense in the nets ten years russia is actually one of the countries that's very interested in this opportunity they have said that they can provide three billion dollars worth of weapons to india. oh it's the aircraft in monday's deadly crash in western siberia disintegrated to pieces when one of the engines touched the ground and that's caters to the pilot was trying to make an emergency landing and rolled heavily to the left thirty one people were killed when the plane hit the ground just minutes after takeoff and doctors are

trying to save twelve survivors technical failure is considered the likely cause of the crash but investigators are also looking into why the plane's wings were on the ice before the flight something aviation consultant and former pilot captain mark why it is vital. the icing is a very critical factor if icing conditions exists if you're certain parameters that will require. aircraft to be used it's a preventative measure that would allow the weeks to maintain the lift. adverse circumstances and once you get the ball and determine what happened with the engines would happen with the air for old wind itself the cockpit voice recorders will tell you a lot of the transmission to the traffic controllers whether or not there's an emergency had been cleared. through and you know terms like pilot error is very

easy but not necessarily accurate. because if i'm further details on the plane crash in western siberia log on to our t. dot com there you'll find the timeline and analysis on what could have led to the tragedy as well as more images i don't look at concerns over safety on some of us is that they carry. i be i top brass in america have admitted that russian spy at chapman got a little too close for comfort the counter intelligence chief claims yvonne style beauty trying to seduce a top official in president obama's administration parties over bennett has details . i certainly don't think this was we had a thought we'd heard the last of anna chapman and the reason why she was suddenly deported from the us and these fresh allegations against the russian spy turned sex symbol supposedly reveal the real reason as to why she was suddenly arrested and of course it's a problem erica in two thousand and ten a top u.s.

official claims that she was being used as a honey trap to ensnare a member of president obama's inner circle and supposedly she became she came actually very close to seducing her target now if this were true it certainly would go some way to explaining why anna chapman along with nine other nine others were suddenly exposed as a russian sleeper agent and why the u.s. government basically deported them in what was the biggest by spot with russia since the end of the cold war and this isn't by any means the first allegation of a russian honeytrap only last year there were claims against the suspected spy katty is that she's being used as a honeytrap to gain high level access within the british government that was after details emerged of her an affair that she was conducting with him he announced three times her age and that. the british government can actually prove its claims now when it comes to anna chapman the us government of course would have to prove its claims because it's already deported but either way i don't think anna chapman

will be particularly bothered because certainly in the british tabloids this is only served to enhance her reputation. well mind we report on yet another scandal where facebook's founder is having trouble friending china that's my friend ben there are really here and now mark zuckerberg you think are seen as stopping his science reentry me tell you why. also a big bang moment for american scientists who say they're close to developing a new source of energy they say it is cheaper than some safe bets and the cleanest ever details are c dot com. more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to poke orations through

the day. to your social implications your on the phone the i pod touch from the. month old girl. in the registry. for there to you live from moscow italy's got a gambling problem the number of people getting addicted scratch cards the lottery is there is booming and it's the deeply struggling economy that's making it worse because you got shoulda out slate's. oh are. you.
