and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. russia's foreign minister says the assad regime should be more active in implementing the un brokered ceasefire plan in syria but also calls on those supporting the opposition pressure on the factions that are subsidizing peace efforts. the british prime minister and his japanese counterpart to agree to expand collaboration on defense equipment in a move many see is nearing washington's recent drive to boost its military presence in the asia pacific region. and straight to live pictures here as russia and poland remember the victims of the tragic plane crash near smolensk that killed the polish president and most of the country's political elite two years ago this right here

live shot from warsaw central square of course two years ago the plane tragedy killed ninety four people among them polish military commanders dignitaries and of course president lech kaczynski. the man who spent thirty years on death row for a crime many believe he did not commit america's most famous prisoner jamal talks exclusively to r.t. in his first t.v. interview since his sentence was commuted to life behind bars. a very warm welcome few from all of us here at. shea russia's foreign minister says international monitors will be key to implementing the cease fire in syria's civil conflict so. met his syrian counterpart ahead of thursday's peace deadline in the

arab country that says turkey rushed to declare the ceasefire agreement void and promised a tough response after syrian guns fired into its territory artie's peter oliver has the latest. well the two foreign ministers meeting here just behind me at the foreign ministry headquarters here in central moscow so the love for all of the russian foreign minister phrased some of the progress that's being made by the assad government towards implementing kofi annan six point peace plan for the for syria now he did praise that but he also said that syria could have been more proactive in their efforts. we have information that syria's government is starting to fill the steps laid out and announced plans by withdrawing troops and military hardware from cities i will be honest with you and we have shared our concerns with our syrian colleagues they could be more active and decisive in

following the plan before mr lavrov went on to say that those nations that support the rebels in syria must put pressure on them to adhere to the cease fire when it comes into effect kofi annan says initiatives have been ignored by some if not the majority of opposition groups including the syrian national council so well following skirmishes on the border between syria and turkey the turkish prime minister has accused syria of violating international law and said that he would be filing an official complaint with the syrian all sorts he's now there are some that have been claiming that the groups of rebel fighters had been drawing syrian army troops into into the skin issues before fleeing across the border into turkey to try and get the the army to fire after them into turkish territory however there are those people say that these were just people fleeing from the army across the border into the safety of to the now of the reaction it's come from the skirmishes

we've heard from mr erekat ganley the prime minister of turkey saying that his country was considering all options including knows that they don't even want to think it out so in terms of international reaction the united states is saved. we should bring this issue up with their nato allies turkey a member of the alliance and of course one of the fundamental principles of nato is that if one member of the alliance is attacked all of the other members of the alliance stepped in to defend that nation well of course that would lead to a whole new reality in syria and could dramatically change. what's happening in the country right now though the whole situation in syria still extremely complex we've seen support for the rebels increase around the world also funding coming into them from groups like the friends of syria under sara first no reports are we seeing them syrian rebels use turkey as a safe haven from which to launch attacks against syrian troops syrian army troops

walking a fine line as tens of thousands of refugees have crossed the syrian border into turkey keeping the peace here has not been easy and now the violence is build a searing gunfire reaching across the border and into a refugee camp government forces to see fleeing members of the free syrian army take he started talking of setting up a buffer zone to ensure the security of its southern border and to take civilians fleeing from the violence in syria it's also raised serious concerns that that could undermine diplomatic efforts to end the conflict by setting the stage for a fully fledged foreign military intervention well serious questions will be raised about just why a refugee camp was located so close to a conflict area even louder voices want to know why the rebels are being allowed to use the camp as a safe haven before turning back into syria to continue that fight for walking

before. i don't cross the border again. i took a shower culture among. some people come back you know this people work with. both sides of border. to syria. and many. people here there are people here and they're operating. you know. let him go on back and forth as well as the civilian refugee camps the military army defectors and the man considered the head of the f.s.a. in the country the camp with a state closely guarded and it takes your thirty's make it extremely hard to access information here but we managed to speak to one member of the free syrian army about what they're wanting from the turkish government.

it's not just the f.s.a. that turkey said pausing recently played face to the friends of syria conference when many countries including called states guitar in saudi arabia agreed to contribute millions to funding the free syrian army is a move this sometimes she soars undermining diplomatic efforts to put an end to the violence in the country peacefully and these latest incidents are just the latest in a long line of setbacks for these efforts to be realized the syrian refugees here is skeptical that a solution is close at hand thousands of people have made the journey across the border from syria. like this one in. some cases it is the be miles from their homes. unable to return so are they the happy province on the turkish border. and more visiting professor of

international relations from university in turkey says i'm curious stance over syria plays well into the rebels have. the syrian rebels main strategy is to draw in prone intervention because neither protests on the streets or. undermine the control room or the regime and so on hope training is to bring in the higher are nato countries turkey or as we heard it or not in a border country with a member of nato so if you can provoke. might work then we have. some sort of fishbowl of the week to discuss the deployment of course and so we are going to see not one turkey is the only country with a large army the border in syria will be a good thing we do have international politics going on here essentially nato countries france in particular. are said they want to go so it's very important for their own prestige but ultimately cyber who are friends of those who are we. and i

will have more analysis on the developments in and around syria throughout the day here and also the latest facts and opinions boys are always available twenty four seven a click away on our website r.t. dot com. the u.k. and japan have both agreed to develop defense weapons together as britain seeks to boost its military presence in asia part of that cooperation can see a possible royal navy submarine deployment in the region the u.k. is joining the american buildup in asia pacific a strategy critics say is aimed at challenging beijing's growing influence in london as artie's of a ban it. for britain this is a highly lucrative opportunity first because it means big business when it comes to defense japan is an untapped market in britain is very keen to exploit that prime minister david cameron is unashamedly touting britain's military hardware on this trip taking with him over thirty executives from the u.k.

arms arms industry he's defended that move as being perfectly responsible and respectable despite the region being highly sensitive to any kind of military maneuvers whatsoever and tensions are particularly high at the moment with north korea planning a rocky launch for later this week but on top of that and more importantly for britain is the chance to exert its influence with a physical presence in the region a region that traditionally and certainly geographically is china's the main because part of the agreement could mean the regular deployment of british submarines in the area these would be hunter killer submarines they can hold missiles with a range of up to two thousand kilometers and any such move would really mirror america's activity in the region because the u.s. is also very keen to exert its influence on the asia pacific region only recently deploying two hundred marines to australia a deployment heavily criticised in fact by china as being an incursion on its own turf in his own backyard and now britain is seeking to do the same this time even

closer to home this will undoubtedly increase the friction in what is already a highly sensitive region. reporting now as the british and japanese prime ministers are meeting in tokyo they've warned north korea that it must. watch plans corporate editor of the news website the corporate report says although pyongyang's neighbors are worried about the planned satellite launch the situation is not worth a military buildup. the really threatening people in the region with a satellite launch and it is something that would seem to necessitate some sort of response but whether a military response is really necessary well that would only come into play if a north korea was really doing some sort of suicidal attack where they were actually going to use this as some sort of cover for launching a surprise attack on south korea or something ridiculous like that which would obviously be suicide for the regime so i couldn't imagine that that would be the case but that would be only a situation developing from this that i could think with some sort of massive

military intervention or a need for military presence in the region the intertwining of the economies is an interesting feature of all the list it makes the the idea of rate military confrontation i think less likely and to a certain extent perhaps this type of military aggression is played up as a way of bilking more money out of the year the american taxpayers for example in order to fund the american military machine and to justify a new type of battlefront. watching are still to come for you this hour on the program a poster boy for what many see is the justice of the u.s. judicial system giving his first interview since being taken off death row. national security. jamal shares his views with r.t. what has changed in america during the thirty years he's already spent behind bars and his aspirations for the future. israel cause him

a threat to world peace later in the program we report on the scandal surrounding a controversial poem by a nobel prize winning author. it is exactly two years since the deadly plane crash in russia. which claimed the lives of the polish president lech kaczynski together with most of the country's political elite all in ninety six people on board were killed and poland's worst disaster in decades. brings us more on the commemorations being held both in warsaw at the crash site. commemoration events are taking place at the site of the awful tragedy which happened two years ago in western russia and by the city of smolensk almost two hundred relatives of those who were killed in a plane crash are also here to lay flowers and wreaths at the site of the awful tragedy hundreds of thousands mourning the dead in poland just as it was happening two years ago i was there in warsaw in the crack of observing with my own eyes the grief and the emotions of the polish nation when this tragedy happened now

certainly two years on a lot has changed the investigation separate investigations by both russia and poland have been held blaming bad weather and actions of the flight crew for this tragic plane crash now still emotions are running high among some of the politicians in poland which are using this grief still to rights to power now in my report which i had produced a little earlier we can have a look at the events of the last two years and the current state of affairs in this regard it was destined to become a new era in turbulent ties between moscow and warsaw a high profile polish delegation was flying to western russia to commemorate twenty thousand police officers killed by soviet troops at katyn village in one nine hundred forty but it never reached its destination. the monarchy i saw a plane descending as usual i heard

a loud noise and it didn't pay attention to it i just thought it was under a plane crash killed all ninety six passengers onboard including the president and first lady and most of the country's political elite separate investigations by both moscow and warsaw blamed bad weather and dubious decisions by the crew they were warned of heavy fog and low visibility were told to choose a different runway but for whatever reason decided to land and you weigh. there was a very clear piece of guidance from traffic controllers that no conditions existed and so it seems to me that the pilot in command should have taken. the sensible decision to divert to another field but of course we have the president on board he has. had of course on board. various of the dignitaries were going to

a specific event area. you know an awful lot of pressure was wrong put on this guy shoulders. such a huge loss was hard to take as hundreds of thousands grieved across poems for some accepting the truth was even harder despite lots of evidence and eye witness accounts supporting the investigation some political forces in poland have been pointing the finger at moscow kaczynski is twin brother you're also love believes the crash was orchestrated paul and is subject to a process of forced a knee jerk concerning this money and plane crash which increasingly looks like a terrorist act if there were explosions on board if this catastrophe looks increasingly like assassination then this means there's a new development in international affairs. polish right wing parties try to use this millennium crash to score points in presidential and parliamentary campaigns which followed the tragedy but their failure to win votes with anti russian

rhetoric say experts proves warsaw's line wasn't in tune with the thinking of the polish people and that a new page in relations has after all been turned despite it happening in the most tragic of ways. the wreckage of the polish presidential plane is still here just eight hundred kilometers from the site of the katyn massacre and in many ways this is the reminder that the similar plane crash was a tragedy inside another tragedy and while the katyn massacre had scored the relations for many decades the events of two years ago have eventually brought the two countries closer in the common grief and in the attempts to find the truth. see reporting from smolensk in western russia. timeline of the tragedy can be found online at our dot com of course plenty more on our website or including this year's annual time magazine poll of the most influential people is

a particularly well guarded secret or the number one spot and go into the cyber group anonymous this there were long rumors the poll itself was infiltrated by those hackers for more details of r.t. thought com plus this could soon become the location for the new capital of russia or at least that's what the newly appointed governor of the moscow region believes find out those details then r.t. dot com. in a few moments it's the r.t. world updated for an hour once the death row inmate when we are all jamal is now serving a life sentence convicted for shooting and killing a us police officer back in one nine hundred eighty one for the last thirty years a former journalist and black panther has proclaimed his innocence and gained

long because the better it works but most frightening years it my life on the road to. wait. if i are home or. back i'm still going for countless of his supporters all over the world media boojum all has really come to represent a symbol of a flawed justice system in the united states and in our interview we talked about whether media thinks and has any faith left that the justice system in america can still be free and fair this is what he had to say there are puerto rico prisoners in california you know you could literally talk about ok. by. and show having been part of the black panther movement was actually watched by the f.b.i. since he was fourteen years old and i asked him with the laws such as the n.c.a.a.

soon marina will join us with the business but for now the scandal surrounding a poem by a german nobel prize winning author and which he denounces israeli policies shows no signs of dying down some critics attack good to grass for calling his relative threat to world peace tel aviv's a reaction to the literary work has also come under fire travel ban imposed on the writer was dismissed by supporters as a dispute disproportionate response and some pointing out israel is simply diverting attention from the issues tackled in the power. israel the government of israel has always used this argument of whenever you see something that is anti israel is supposed to be and so maybe this is the kind of argument that you use when you do it and do not want to debate that issue and the issue here is israel is a nuclear power it is not signatory to the nonproliferation treaty and it infuses

controls by the international atomic energy agency exactly what it is demanding of iran which is a signatory to the n.p.t. treaty so actually what is happening here is indeed the issue is the fact that israel has a nuclear arsenal which is to refuse just a matter controlled by international institutions are her starting with afghanistan let's get to the world our pay for you some other global news in brief two explosions in afghanistan have claimed at least twenty two lives and wounded dozens in the country's relatively peaceful western province of how rat a car bomb ripped through a government building just as a local businessmen were gathering for a meeting with officials hours later in the more volatile self three suicide attackers targeted a governor's office out of the bombers were shot dead but one did manage to detonate explosives that killed eight policeman. new psychiatric test has found that mass killer under the graphic is saying that's contradicting an
