straight to breaking news for you this hour here on the indonesian authorities say a russian built sukhoi superjet craft this disappeared from radar could have crashed into a mountain. joins us with more on this tom what else do we know at this point. but at the moment rory we know the plane was on a demonstration flight in indonesian airfield he was returning to that airfield when the pilots reportedly asked to decrease their attitude from ten thousand down to six thousand feet that permission was granted and the plane had started to descend down to turn when it disappeared from the ranger radar in a mountainous region it's the search has started to try and find the plane helicopters have been out and have returned it was also said by authorities at the

airport that the plane would already have run out of fuel if it'd been flying all this time we just don't know what had has happened to the plane tom as far as we understand there's been some information that's emerged from a blogger on the scene what do you know about that the house we've managed to get in touch with a blogger who says that he was supposed to be on the plane he said that the demo flight was only supposed to last thirty minutes it's now been a few hours after that flight and he's also sent some pictures on his twitter feed of a makeshift headquarters set up at the airports near one of the gates as coordination maps with the authorities trying to coordinate efforts there and pictures of the helicopter that's been out and has returned unfortunately that helicopter has not found any evidence of the plane at the moment tom i take us back if you will just for a moment of the sukhoi superjet is the latest generation aircraft only been flying commercially since just last year my right with that it has indeed it was really

hoped to be a modern revamp of the russian aircraft industry this jet was a modern version that we were trying to market i was trying to market to many international markets this particular plane had been on a demo taught it already been to kazakstan to pakistan and my own mark and was going to visit of the southeast asian countries it was thought that there were forty four people on board some of those may have been reps from an indonesian air firm if it has crashed this is a. deede a major blow to the russian aircraft industry and there is the russian aircraft industry has been trying to improve its image after a number of crashes was with older planes and this was hoped to try and really improve that image we are yet to find out what happened exactly all right art is our tom bought and thanks for coming on the program. we'll get back to the breaking news as more becomes available to us here on our teeth an hour though ukraine's jailed former prime minister yulia timoshenko has been moved from prison to

a local hospital the opposition leader had been on hunger strike for nineteen days claiming abuse in an earlier attempt to move her concern over a treatment has caused diplomatic tension with ukraine postponing a regional e.u. summit this after several states pulled out in protest with the latest from kiev r.t. is alexia chefs. emotional ukraine's former prime minister now serving seven years in prison for abuse of power has been transferred to a clinic where she will be observed her spinal hemorrhage which has been reported for the last several months will be observed by a german doctor she insisted that this must be a german doctor and that no ukrainian doctor will have access to her treatment now certainly this comes after a great deal of controversy surrounding this hospital is ation of tymoshenko in fact on april the twentieth she was meant to be transferred to a hospital but back then she claimed the prison guards physically abused her punch ernest almost landed several punches on her body and the photos of her bruises were

made public on the internet now we understand that she has finally agreed for this treatment for how long this will last and whether the doctors would be able to finally cure her off her spinal which is certainly remains unknown but those physical abuse reported physical abuse by prison guards on timoshenko certainly cause lots of controversy abroad with some politicians on the highest levels and european countries saying that they will boycott the euro twenty twelve championship which is starting in a little more than a month from now and those politicians who did the german chancellor angela merkel the highest ranking politicians in the netherlands in the czech republic in germany so it is unclear whether whether this development in the story whether the fact of hospitalisation will ease the tension whether those. who are willing to boycott the euro twenty twelve will decide to come here eventually but certainly this is something of a big step forward in this story because for up to this moment the authorities have

been saying that they will not allow you to machine go to be treated by any foreign doctors on the ukrainian soil or anywhere abroad we even heard an offer from. which you have to michigan treated in russia but the authorities in ukraine denounce that such possibility could even happen so certainly we're waiting to see for any reactions from the. but hopefully most of the politicians will change their opinion and will be able to come to the euro twenty twelve period in month time. reporting there now as vladimir putin settles into his role back at the top of russian politics groups of opposition activists have continued their isolated walks and sit ins across the center of moscow they've been going on for three days now protesters are now overjoyed a sanctioned communist rally in the city they're marching with them. grieves he's at the scene. officially this rally has been tires of the company's car seat of course it has got

a story about boxing champion of the great victories ice soviet union but it also is a very normal day party with foreign affairs woman being standing against the two more lections that's a place back in december ms allegations of the total fraud and then of the only ones who do this are those in the crowd at the moment though using this day and this citation of running a car sponsored already how young so close chartley down there goes the right women soldiers association for free and fair elections have a seat out you know that's partly because they've been struggling on the back of the presidential elections in march to bring together a number around they want also they want to seize the chin on the back force that is principally against the inauguration of blood i'm a person as president it's something i stood against for a while now we have seen them staging these talks they say it was just yesterday

but people amassed near a local square in central moscow and therefore any political slogans is this risk arrest these are sites and demonstrations that what they do is they see unlike other mass now the number rests on the back of this two hundred is the official figure for just yesterday alone although protesters put the figure much higher than that you know among them they have thousands of ahead of the left from the left from the government he has been detained on a number of occasions he stood attention and he say he may go on hunger strike also alexina bounty anticorruption for you know for someone who's not a few people very active and we think you know you guys you know say see why yes he has been detained now speaking to some of those in the crowd associated with the what remover for free and fair elect. it seems they want of this right to do to another and again this cattle mouse game with police they sit down and if they get

moved on and they go elsewhere all this actually comes on the back of quite a markedly violent demonstration that took place on sunday just ahead of the no gration of blood of a person as president so clashes between police and protesters injuries being sustained on both sides with a high level of the rest of protesters and police saying that some of the demonstrators were quite violent how you guys are trying to rip off their right. now the action began a day ahead of putin's inauguration which was held on monday any certain now i am political analyst dmitri babich they try to understand who's driving the protests. who is the russian opposition well of course it depends who you ask but also if you take a look for yourself what you'll see most often are a lot of different colors organizations and parties well to help us kind of decipher who's who in this i think we can call modern russian opposition is dmitri

bobbitt he's a political analyst for voice of russia radio thanks for being with us i want to start with alexis in the widely and surrogate so just because they're the most well known at the moment they're constantly getting arrested and being released just briefly tell us who they are and why they've become the prominent leaders of our name is not a typical leftist populist like well does he use the morning to take corruption and nationalist. but let's focus on the flanks for a bit looking at this video this is this is sunday's protest which for the first time turned really ugly you see these there's so and the left front it's called what what are the main focus of that party it's a flag we saw a lot of on sunday you see the red flags with the red star so this is an image abroad people might think it's you know a communist party because they read russia communist so what they write because it will do so for recently because. he is. left from the reason why all of the

communist party of russian federation human being chronically ill but dissipating all these actions get him constantly arrested that's his style but so i guess that there. are rather than where he is the traditional. russian i guess what does that mean in terms of there are several groups which do more time why themselves with the left front or with the communist party job you gone off sunday i was there and there were clearly some people who were trying to provoke violence a lot of these so-called anarchists you can see here basically were running into the riot police and also wearing a lot of these masks. let's talk a little bit more about the nationalist fight that we see sometimes i believe we don't have pictures here yet but it's. white there it is what's this is what it means someone you know all of the groups all the nationalist groups that are strongly opposed to the current government strung up all white. and red. but who will not like to be associated with communists or leftists what does it mean

that. when we see tens of thousands of people on the streets of moscow as opposed to small groups like we see here which we saw after the inauguration sit ins trying to happen why don't we see the thousands of the masses do we see so many different flags if they are so anti putin can't they just get under that banner all these groups have a mutually exclusive view they're not simply i think in his degree not simply contradictory that's just an excuse for the nationalistic use put in of being a liberal the liberal secular would have been a nationalist the leftist accuse would you know the soviet social system is the liberal secular splintering of reviving the soviet imperialist so they can't agree on anything the only thing that they can agree on is that they don't like bush and they want the current russian state to collapse that's about it to me through bob rich political analyst from waste of russia radio thank you very much for trying to help us understand what's happening with the opposition in russia because certainly people in the country have never been more involved in politics. he's and he's in

it is good to have you with us here on our t.v. today a bomb has detonated in syria just moments after a u.n. observers team which included the bodies chief passed by eight soldiers are scored in the convoy were said to have been injured now it comes after envoy kofi annan said damascus was failing to hold. it also warned that his peace plan is the last chance for the country to avoid a civil war. and has the latest details. well purred the syrian ambassador to the united nations say that a number of regional powers are sponsoring terror in syria to undermine kofi annan . he said the syrian government remains committed to the plan but it faces a surge of terrorist attacks including suicide bombings. d.v.d. and said it has the confessions of dozens of individuals involved in terrorist activities upon the order of thirty countries here's what he said these terrorists

did not come into syria. by using parachutes. they came into syria through the syrian borders with the neighboring countries so it's not a secret anymore who is behind these groups the. who are giving orders and try to work through these terrorist. leave. he also accused turkey of harboring armed groups which are infiltrating syria committing crimes and returning back to turkey because syrian ambassador said what also undermines kofi annan his plan is the inflow of arms into syria now both the syrian ambassador to the u.n. and even the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. noted that there has been a decrease of violence in syria but the international envoy kofi annan said there is still a profound concerns that syria is descending into full on civil war up to one

hundred international observers are already working there the only said the number will reach three hundred by the end of the month so there's going to be more eyes on the ground as of now he said and i'm going to i'm going to quote here there have been a worrying episodes of violence by the government but we have also seen attacks against government forces troops and installations it's very interesting how the u.s. ambassador susan rice responded to the claims made by the syrian ambassador she brushed off the question about terrorists and then she went on talking about those who took up arms to fight for their rights a very dubious question arises here is it an attempt to justify violence on one side while. the other being exclusively the syrian government susan rice confirmed it in a way with her latest statement by putting all responsibility in the hands of the syrian government and never not once mentioning the armed groups in the opposition with this regard and that despite the fact that the u.s.

has accepted kofi annan plan which addresses all sides of the conflict not just the syrian government. now a quarter past the hour here in moscow israel's politicians have avoided the need for early elections after the ruling coalition announced it struck a surprise deal with the opposition party but the country's military leadership still isn't seeing eye to eye with lawmakers accusing them of being hysterical over the perceived threat from iran policy looks into this growing rift usually it's all secret service that's eavesdropping on others this time it was the other way around in what was supposed to be a closed form in the form of security chief was caught saying this maybe i'm seeing very difficult things i don't believe in the prime minister and not in the defense minister i've seen them from up close they are not people that i trust to lead the state of israel into in advance of this magnitude the strongest criticism so far from someone in the know putting the growing rift between israel's political and

military might of whether or not a techie ran out into the open. it's not. polite but i would prefer that the innocence of the center for those who speak the truth. well i think what we're seeing first is that this government doesn't really engage with with the country as a whole that hasn't been a public discussion as to whether israel should launch a strike against iran and there's also a feeling that within the government itself it's only barak committed the of themselves who are making these decisions has been no wide at the base among the smaller security cabinet or even the wider carping that israeli politicians are near hysterical when it comes to iran and they've more than hinted at a military strike is under consideration were determined to prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons we leave all options on the table. and

containment is definitely not an option decision in life. yet. even. if you leave you. for the first time ever the head of the israeli army while still in office has broken rank and thrown doubt on with it iran is in fact planning to go nuclear iran is going step by step to the place where it will be able to decide whether to manufacture a nuclear bomb it hasn't yet decided whether to go the extra mile but will israel go the extra mile and decide to bomb iran until. the military or the security establishment the stalk the government almost all of the leaders of all the military and security establishments were replaced

recently the question is what will their presence establishment say and will be on subi supported by the government or make a divide between the two sides even deeper the temperature is rising ahead of nuclear talks slated to happen later this month in baghdad but also on this point there's disagreement with intel of is in a circle some high ranking israeli officials say pressure against iran is bearing fruit one is also official line is that it won't be cute by negotiations policy r.t. tel aviv. florida prison riot kicks off the answer you want up there here now are starting with venezuela clashes there in a gale between armed inmates and troops or the prisoners opening fire guards responding with tear gas the riot followed the government's decision to close the prison over recent escape attempts on complaints of overcrowding at least eight people were injured including the relatives of some of the inmates who had gathered outside. it would be suicide attacker enough oil the airline a bomb was

reportedly a double agent all along cia operatives are said to have infiltrated al qaeda in yemen and exposed to plant a bomb concealed in underwear was meant to have blown a u.s. airliner from the skies on the first anniversary of osama bin laden's death a similar scheme was used in december two thousand and nine but that failed when the explosives didn't detonate properly. the head of the left wing syriza party says he can form a new greek parliament. a coalition based on tearing up the terms of the international bailout deal he meets the two mainstream pro austerity parties today if they fail to come to an agreement greece will be forced to hold another vote the developments follow sunday's election results which gave no single party enough votes to govern alone. all right to the rest of the day's news now here on our

been some info in coming from a blogger at the scene what can you tell us about that indeed there has we've managed to get in touch with a blogger who saves that he was supposed to be on the flight but that flight was only supposed to last thirty minutes and it's now been several hours he's also sent some pictures via his twitter feed of a makeshift headquarters being set up at the scene to try and coordinate efforts to try and find the aircraft and we managed to hear a little from him earlier. the authorities are searching for the plane and helicopters just return but says there's no trace of it rescuers are looking at the maps trying to determine where it could be i have been aboard this plane i flew here on board and there were two flights the first one was fine it lasted thirty minutes then we came back the plane was checked over and it was fine the second flight should have also lasted for thirty minutes but it's now been gone for almost four hours i could have been only to get in when i stayed back

because i wanted to film it from the ground looking but this was a demonstration flight for an indonesian aircraft company that wanted to buy twelve such plane we have already been on this plane in kazakhstan pakistan. the next stops would have been laos and vietnam. so that's the latest we can hear from the ground we've also seen pictures of helicopters that have been out searching for the aircraft and have so far found nothing by it so as the search operation is underway tom let's take a step back for a moment i understand that the sukhoi superjet is the latest generation aircraft it's only been flying commercially war since last year now it's a very new aircraft it was hoped that it would revamp the hopes of the russian aircraft industry and they would be able to sell many three thousand orders have actually already been placed and it has started commercial flights last year it's the first aircraft that has been pursued from the very beginning of its design up until now since the soviet union and it was really hoped that that would really
