in the russian capital you're watching our. today we take a look at the top stories of the week and all twelve survivors of a plane crash in western siberia monday are now in stable condition they were among forty three people on board the plane when it came down just minutes after takeoff and near freezing temperatures thirty one people including all the crew were killed and stopped failure to spray the aircraft was a phrase may have been the cause or just take agree of the reports from the scene. i heard an explosion then we got a call and my commander ordered us to go to the scene in these minutes you realize something was wrong as a nine shooter the situation hadn't quite sunk in among the first fighters on the scene yuri immediately sportage one list few survivors when the first thing we saw was the clean debris and fire and we started putting the flames out there was this

one man standing alone and he didn't seem to have a scratch on him and we took him to hospital. but he was shaking he said he was very cool kid on our screens turn the heater on even though it already was a lot. of people lost their lives in the treasury the shop that country. there are only twelve other survivors pulled from the wreckage one dying on route to the hospital the others remain in a critical condition the investigation here continues but for brief moment those in their work that's a family members arrive at the crash site a site where they lost their loved ones and the chance to pay their respects to say . the word out still to rule contemplates. oh. yeah. thrust into grief relatives have been left searching for answers and already some think they know the most probable cause if it's true it's

a tragedy that could have been averted. here for you so do you. look for the investigation is far from over hasn't reached any binding conclusions black box flight data and i largely intact cockpit may provide answers but once team scour the flight's final minutes looking for clues relatives of the victims are left to contemplate their loss degree assy. and a special investigation into the cause of the plane tragedy is still underway but now as chris kate says defrosting is a glittering white us going and harsh conditions. you know whenever you're flying any type of aircraft hostile conditions when you put on can you get very bad weather is a hostile condition and it's incumbent upon day with captain of

a the aircraft to take precaution before taking off and would necessarily include the freezing of the frosting be adequate off ice build up on the wings can have a detrimental impact to severe impacts on the safety of flight as indeed ice formation on the control surfaces of the craft as well so if it proves outs. this wasn't the only stupid fall taking off and that is one of the potentially one of the primary causes of this tragic crash. for more information on the plane crash log on to our website r.t. dot com and here is what else is waiting for you there right now the infamous half of this group takes down a u.k. government website with a twitter message saying it was a protest against the accordion surveillance proposals. an activist take action a t.v. presenter in greece's bond with yogurt and agues by their group of mass protests

there is a probe into the studio. and there is less than forty eight hours left for the syrian government to comply with the un backed peace plan and calls on damascus to withdraw its troops and tanks from residential areas seizing all military activity but syrian activists and even the head of the u.n. say the regime continues its crackdown on dissent massacres blames ongoing violence and terrorists funded and armed from abroad more than a hundred people were reportedly killed just on saturday the rebel fighters are refusing to cease fire until president steps down and they've been promised a multimillion dollar support from the u.s. and its allies at r.t. sarah ferguson are reports. talks of ending the violence on the inside it the friends a syria conference. outside they take issue riot police are getting heavy handed as they dispersed a tiny pretty syrian government gathering. line a crowd at the moment pushing them back up the bridge but their actions

a nice thing to say to further a already rowdy crowd. we won't just. get gun. good going and those. who bought the gun for. the conference continued throughout the afternoon and they say to kids cheap friends of syria have pledged millions of dollars for the free syrian army affected. putting the rebels on the 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. the free syrian army becoming stronger they say 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

video to support. we had to skip over the border when the violence got through. 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's along with the international community having signed up to the un envoy to syria cape fear and peace plan at the friends of syria conference the parties have already decided who is the legitimate representative of the syrians france of syria june people support the mission called an int declared by shooting the consul. 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. concerns that excluding the assad government from talks undermines diplomatic efforts to end the violence

if they want to help syria the to engage the syrian government in diplomatic talks on neutral ground it's quite quite clear and present assad is not going to. accept the coffee and plan as the western countries are still giving aid to the opposition at the meeting though in the message to president assad was clear when it comes to the implementation of the peace plan time is running out surface r.t. istanbul. saying the rebels are reluctant to give up the fight because a half so much international backing. things the armed opposition spoiling syria into civil war. they getting so many singers that so many forces from the outside are on their side why would they have an interest to make a compromise with the government everyone is blaming the government for the violence they will. come to actions in order to cause foreign intervention

we saw what happened in afghanistan after u.s. intervention we saw what happens to iraq we saw what happened to libya a state that is falling apart now. if if syria. of so-called free syrian army will actually succeed to take over then we have. most likely face a. very serious series of or in syria with all these different factions fighting each other like muslim brotherhood salafi extremists representatives of certain minorities etc. later in the program when immigration leads to isolation france's first aims to crack down on religious extremism leaving the country is muslim community feeling disconnected from the rest of society. today marks the nomination deadline for upcoming presidential election former vice president omar suleiman who served under ousted leader hosni mubarak will be

running egypt's most powerful political group the muslim brotherhood has also put forward two candidates the decision was spurred by fears that the military council may disqualify the brotherhood's primary nominee other islamism groups have been down the nominations for word threatening democratic to me the brotherhood already dominates parliament and the group which is drafting the country's new constitution freelance journalist bel truce muslim brotherhood monopoly and government will have a negative impact on egypt. the muslim brotherhood should not be muncy to push social change so i imagine it will be difficult for women or for minority groups including cooking christians who obviously i'm quite important in this country i think the missing woman have shown a very strange relationship with the ruling military council and the supreme council the armed forces so i think this is where there may be some issues of the revolutionary groups i mean they appeared to have been doing deals with this guy behind closed doors which could basically mean that there isn't revolutionary

change and this i think will be the worry for the rest in the future of egypt. well to boost its international standing add the muslim brotherhood sanda first official delegation to ross and said this week after decades of mutual distrust the u.s. only started doing work after. the toppling of president mubarak but analysts franks says america. democratic arab forces the white house you know we would hope that they're looking at the best case scenario but they need to be a little bit more cautious about the worst case scenario and that includes arming rebels in syria the arming of eating of rebels in libya when in fact we knew that they had ties to radical islamist groups and especially and specifically al qaeda when you're talking about trying to divide the islamic world in the arab world it's a very hard thing to do. you won't see ready allies for the west especially in some

of the. i'm going to use them for lack of a better word regimes that have taken over in the in some of these countries that have experienced the arab spring they're not friendly to the western culture or western ideals although they might like the financial backing that would come you see a lot of these factions leaning towards the installation of sharia law is something that is paramount in their constitutions so to try and ally with someone who is putting shari'a law in place especially when it's so antithetical to our us constitution. is truly in the air on that. and coming up later this hour here in our team reshape politics new workplace could allow scores of brand new and sometimes controversial parts of the russian parliament weeks and the possible outcomes just. moscow is vowing to use all legal means to bring victor borge back home after the russian businessman was sentenced by

a us court he was found guilty of conspiring to kill americans but maintains his innocence and charges gave him a minimum term twenty five years stressing there would be no evidence of crime had it not been for the american sting operation that set up is arrest artes necessary turton as more. years spent by to us to hunt down one russian man tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer cash poor into a sting operation snatched up from a third country alleged arms dealer viktor boot was handcuffed flew into the u.s. and police in solitary confinement for months before trial found him guilty on all four charges one conspiring to kill united states nationals two conspiring to kill united states officers and employees three conspiring to use them acquire anti-aircraft missiles and for conspiring to provide material support to the fork in forty four year old russian air cargo business and fascinated hollywood one of

our ritual. records. and only army other a boot lost his case in the court of u.s. public opinion before his trial kicked off raising concerns of the fairness of his trial this is the lord of war. the merchant of death. and you've got him in your hands right he's in custody it's a great feeling u.s. officials were relentless in their efforts to get behind bars the so-called merchant of death is now a federal inmate american agents posing as fart members a colombian group to terrorist in the u.s. but not by many other countries and the u.n. met with and then arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight after twice being found not guilty by thai courts and u.s. reportedly play dirty arm twisting thailand into extraditing him to america they're willing to flawed every international law to get what they want and that means

doing all these illegal things in the case of the extradited marshall kidnapping boots family also called us actions entrapment and kidnapping before i can accept the possibility that the boots might have some information that's might be of interest to someone but why is it that other countries don't just think to themselves there's someone who has some interest in information and why don't those governments just drag those people into their territory ask those requests to send him to russia for trial were brushed aside there was no official decision of an extradition russia called boot extradition illegal and question the validity of his conviction one of the main arguments of the defense that the u.s. lacked jurisdiction was ignored by the court woods defense says the russian was aware that he was not in touch with real fark members and all he was trying to do was sell to all the cargo planes we use of magic crimes manufactured jurisdiction and manufactured evidence journalist george matt has attended every hearing in the

case he says is one of many victims of u.s. judicial power play they feel the victor in this particular charges that were brought against him that he is innocent so you know i don't i don't want any innocent man whether it be russian citizen writable who are truly davis to be sentence to life or because of a crime repeating commit the truth is the second. russian citizen in the year to face sentencing on american territory for little crimes committed in the third nation cold case is a major precedence and represents how worried he was tried to simply override the legal systems of other countries as this is shaping up parts of. washington used a legal loophole to entrap and convict victor bill and that's according to american lawyer douglas not. the u.s. government takes a very aggressive approach extraterritorial like if someone is in london wire transfers a sum of money to an individual and barely a day on one but i'm sleeping on the money kings through citibank in new york not

paying that touching of u.s. jurisdiction is sufficient jurisdiction for the united states government have to charge both of those individuals with money laundering both facing extradition proceedings if they both lose they're looking at up to twenty years of parole twenty years without parole as are facing a federal judge and i'm happy the u.s. government decided they want to be say for able to manufacture in my view jurisdiction not illegally a form of an craft but where they were able to pull mr boot into the jurisdiction of the u.s. courts they placed him and him in extradition proceedings up by way of. thailand and the next regarded to the united states france president nicolas sarkozy veiled his vision for the cons announced thursday in preparation for the upcoming election and he reconfirmed his plan to cut immigration to france by half just two weeks after sitting in the city you have to lose rock the country but asked us are still

you know reports are disease policies have left many muslims feeling on somalia this may be a film about the struggle to live in the french suburbs but this. is reality. a shooting of seven people in toulouse by a frenchman of algeria and dissent is the latest incident to intensify an already heated debate on security immigration and it's a gratian in a country with the largest muslim population in europe. firstly i must say this is an isolated case fortunately nice young immigrants in france do not have this kind of behavior i think this is a result of his personal journey he felt that it was out of place in france probably humiliation discrimination and therefore personal kind of feeling of hatred hatred of funds in the words of this second generation muslim immigrants many like yourself don't feel french. in the suburbs there is this feeling of

rejection by france and the government socially when we say i'm from the suburbs you're not taken seriously the truth when young people apply for jobs and the sun resumes and how the suburban address it poses many problems some employers time to favor people from central paris or sometimes she says favor a more french name and therein lies the problem of french republics values of liberty equality and fraternity seem to exclude those living on the periphery like this parisian suburb of mont there where we chanced upon a lone man in protest shouldn't you need i claim the right to live like everyone else if you earn between one thousand and thirty hundred year olds you live in as best as you live in the middle of electromagnetic waves with leeds in unsanitary conditions just five minutes from posh areas like you. people die here and tolling different i see no no i denounce that fact and france will have a revolt there's

a french saying to describe the country today losing translated as france and moving up to speeds of the young people will find themselves stuck on the slower moving frame some say will belong to a generation already lost by the stay. it's a may find a sense of belonging elsewhere and by the time that happens any efforts to bring them back how likely to be futile and where some may find solace is anyone's guess this man not only on people but there are those who create heroes like robin hood today it's the likes of osama bin laden or other so-called leaders who created it is there's a new generation that is hungry and vicious and aggressive it creates a conflict the internet and the easy access to information freely and easily and the worst is ignorance that is reinforced by it internet this is a huge danger to the youth in response politicians bombard the public with proposals for even more policies like policing internet behavior reducing the

number of new immigrants or stripping some of their citizenship which critics say are hollow president sarkozy has been really trying to espouse the line of the right wing. nationalist party here as well. in ways attacking immigrants talking about how we making issues coverings of muslim girls he said become major issues in france rather than the question of creating jobs and perhaps the question of how to bring back the very basics of a society that calls itself a gala tarion tesser cilia r t paris. over in bahrain a nonviolent demonstrations against the government rage on with his way and was force several protesters were injured on saturday one police fired tear gas and rubber bullets thousands rally on friday were also met with a crackdown they marched in support of a human rights champion who's serving a life sentence for speaking out against the bahraini government has been on hunger

strike for two months bounty each and freedom of one death their resumes been slammed for rights violations by international watchdogs but the u.s. continues to support bahrain as a key arab ally journalist and anti-war activist don de bar thinks washington's middle east policy is consistent. look at the role the united states is playing in bahrain when they've been claiming that they're in syria over human rights that they were in libya over human rights and yet they're suppressing human rights and raid it shows that president obama and secretary of state hillary clinton are hypocrites they're wires you have a human rights activist a bona fide human rights activist on a hunger strike you don't hear a word of it in the american media the interests of the united states in bahrain according to the people that make policy here is to maintain the fifth fleet period that's it the bahraini people are nothing but people that are supposed to service that base and keep their mouths shut while they do it elsewhere there's oil and

other geopolitical considerations and their prime u.s. policy now is to go to some other stories from around the world pakistan's military say there is little hope of finding any survivors of an avalanche works and the military encampment in the mountainous casimir region one hundred thirty five people are dead the search involving more than one hundred fifty soldiers sniffer dogs and helicopters has recovered over a dozen bodies so far. a collapsed mine shaft in peru has left nine miners trapped underground a shaft caved in outside them on thursday after workers set off an explosion to dislodge or rescue teams are supplying the man with oxygen and drink through. police and firefighters work to free them mining accidents are fairly common in peru more than fifty people died in the country's mines last year. in britain the activist who disrupted the provisional oxford cambridge university has been charged for causing

a public disorder trends and oldfield forced the rowers to stop when he's. their path the race resumed after he was safely removed from the river in cambridge went on to take the title after off for broke and or this was the first incident of its kind in the one hundred fifty eight year history of the raise. but article reform that took effect in russia this we could see literally hundreds of new parties registering to run for parliament now it works out the consequences good or bad. politics in russia may never be the same protest have become a common sight and new parties are registering left and right as a political reform starts reason them so former deputy prime minister in the ninety's is no stranger to the white house. you know. it was long off the political radar until

a sudden 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 candidates that's it but my proposal is for any party with five hundred members that represents no less than fifty percent of russia's regions should be registered. but if you're on the only. wants pushing for an easy party registration is already seen thoughts as it was recently now there will be hundreds of part just registered hundreds of democratic socialist nationalist balance sheets will be kilometers long and xander be 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. so 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 release in use already popular aspect of a movement to win seats. nationalists will have tough competition not least from a new face who has already proved to south billionaire through her of 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 trusted me for that reason i will form a new political force a strong party. it seems everyone wants to join the party and start one so and want to breeze berezovsky in london and me i'll go to church of have both said they have plans to launch political forces for those looking for a lighter choice they may well be able to vote for

a party of love subtopic russia or a party of friends of elliott's 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 and we're up to date and i'll be back shortly with a reminder of our top source of the week.
