now with the palm of your. comb. dozens are killed and hundreds injured in the syrian capital by troops bomb blasts the deadliest attack since the conflict in the country began more than a year ago. only a few hundred metres separate rescue teams from the crash site of a russian in indonesia as authorities say it's unlikely the survivors will be found . but just too busy person says you can join the g. eight party next week hosted by the u.s. . demanding work. on screen this is live from moscow with you twenty four hours

a day two massive bomb blasts of ripped through the syrian capital during rush hour killing at least fifty five people and wounding nearly four hundred dollars the government on the opposition been quick to blame each other for the attacks and russia says they could be a foreign hand in the bombings. the latest from the mass because. the russian foreign minister commented on the events today saying that foreign interference in syria is unexceptable now it is widely acknowledged that there are foreign nationals operating in the ground that. is a big. part of the nation from the e.u. and its mission. is they went straight to the scene of these two explosions it was a huge huge explosion they shook the entire city everyone hit and we've been speaking to people today who just being down at the. devastation it's caused is just. at the moment the cleanup operations are under way

and with the people dead because they were loaded civilian homes that were also destroyed a lot of civilian lives have been lost this is the largest of the explosions that have happened in recent times of course you see in this space recently of these types of attacks in damascus as soon as the capital was launched the view for a long while as having remained relatively sheltered from the ongoing conflict throughout the rest of the country but we've seen these types of attacks really cranking up in recent times and a huge amount of damage has been done what parts of the also wasted these things is the fact that you've had from the beginning of the conflict a very strong rhetoric from both sides playing the blame game and that's really sort of confused not just because the situation here is much more calm complex than that and people are really feeling very very much like they're caught in the middle of speaking to the people down at the bomb sites and you know this really is senseless the u.n. observer mission is here to try and bring peace that this could be just the

beginning of this type of progress and you know this is really a major dilemma for the syrians the actions of the regime over the past year and a half have left the country you know the situation that's why they put this sort of interference to these sort of acts to be carried out and say really i mean there's a huge sense amongst the people and a huge fear that if something isn't done that you could see this getting worse and it's you know serve mission. as the best chance that this country has right now getting stability back in what the years of service have been asking for. people the different sides the different groups different factions to give the syrian people a chance to guess that it's in this country. that's now cross to london for some reaction from patrick he's a reporter for u.k. based online magazine spite of the un brokered cease fire in syria's clearly not working patrick how much is this do to that foreign involvement that some are claiming is coming from the gulf states and other countries. well i think it's

important to just point out from the start that the un broken peace deal is foreign involvement to start off with this isn't a case of the syrian people sitting down and negotiating by themselves this is kofi annan and various officials coming in and imposing a peace plan and the treaty of the syrian people so i mean from the stars it's important to point out that foreign intervention is happening already in syria you know you need a mediator between these two factions though the time has come for some mediation hasn't it and that's exactly what you're trying to do getting a balance reaction balance point play from both sides there in syria. i think one of the problems with the peace plan from the start is that. peace over really trying to allow the syrian people to resolve the issue in many ways in the u.n. coming in in this way distorted the conflict bottled up

a lot of tensions you know often if you have to try and result of themselves in some quite unpleasant ways sometimes it is unfortunately as we've seen in the arab spring last year only through struggle of the people in those countries. can really bring about lasting change necessary battle of ideas about how syrian society should take place you can't always just sit. around the table in particular you can't in syria because it's very hard to know exactly what the opposition and it's a very fragmented opposition and i think that's one of the reasons why it's very hard to pin down what happened with these explosions and who's responsible for them it's you know what we are seeing here is a very messy increasingly complicated kind of civil war and unfortunately the plan is distorting that rather than actually i think making things better. also the u.s. is saying al-qaeda militants are operating in syria obviously the u.s.

has been stirring up side sentiment saying that they would like to see a regime change there do you think in fact washington actually playing in the hands of a card with this. well in some ways they. haven't had a history really of terrorist attacks in syria i think america likes to use the kind of the bogeyman the the specter of al qaida. and interest to a certain extent it's a kind of play that's out there and all that is the case in this situation it's a little bit hard to tell and certainly there's a tendency for myself which. you can understand now these situations very much terrorist attacks rather than an organized ball the individuals that are trying to fight in the civil war or for democracy and freedom in syria it's very as i said it's very hard to understand exactly who this opposition is exactly what about these attacks the blame game is going on at the

moment there's a lot of fingers being pointed and i think actually in many ways the responses about who is likely to be to blame for this is the. forces that some people suggested were not it's al qaeda it's a breakout group from the free syrian army tend to say more about the people commenting on the issue necessarily about the situation on the ground he said earlier this is a way for the story essentially this is a matter for the syrians to sort out and there's no excuse for this sort of foreign intervention we're seeing at the moment but we all seeing are we not a humanitarian crisis unfolding very similar to what we saw in libya another course prompted that nato led. intervention why are we seeing the same now based on that humanitarian reason. well everyone the reasons why it shouldn't be the case is the fear is no better off now than it was under gadhafi were effectively had got in libya now is a vacuum with

a cherry picked governments by the west. splintering off into city states and it's no closer towards being able to determine their own futures and really have a free society in libya than they did you know a year or so ago i think people know that syria's much larger country there's much more kind of warring factions it could become internationalized far more than libya and trying to have a nato intervention in there would be very messy i think that's why there's a lot of feet face being placed in the story in kofi annan plan even though from the outset it was very much seen to be you know just a pragmatic attempt of what else can we do i mean as a man said from the start if we take the peace plan off the table what else could we replace it with just very recently out it's always. sad these introduce reforms he's managed to stay on in power so far how do you assess his position could he actually survive all of this and remain at the helm. i think one of the things now

we have the monitors on the ground the u.n. monitors on the ground in syria effectively getting much better building up affectively a dossier of information about what it is doing i think that could some point down the line lead. he says for intervention but the powdering only three hundred service at the moment only three hundred not all of them they're meant to be deployed by the end of the month three hundred that's too little too late isn't it just briefly. well no it's three hundred too many i don't think the u.n. observers should be meddling in the business is of business of syria whatsoever so no i disagree with that point i think in terms of the future of. what these peace plans are doing in fish i think pete over a resolution of the conflict they are effectively saying you know we need stability even if it means science can remain in power and i think that's deeply problematic

patrick a thanks very much and if you're thought reporter for a live british magazine spiked live in london thank you time. indonesian rescuers say there's no hope for survivors after a russian airliner crashed into a mountain the teams are now trying to tackle challenging terrain to reach the wreckage of the sukhoi superjet one hundred which went down on wednesday reports from jakarta. the authorities have said that there is no sign of any survivors but it's been extremely confusing the search operation because it's taking place thirty miles outside of jakarta in a very mountainous treacherous region. of the passenger is that many of the indonesians on that airplane have been informed of the fate of the plane that the plane actually crashed into a mountain where there was a dormant volcano and so obviously there's a lot of grieving at crisis center that's been set out in the airport where the russian jet one hundred took off obviously yesterday everyone was wondering what

hop into this airplane when it disappeared off the radar twenty minutes after it took off there was talk that perhaps it could have even been hijacked because the emergency beacon that should have gone off if the airplane had crashed into a mountain and didn't go off the plane is equipped with the latest technology on its very high tat so many people thought that perhaps it was to have some sort of emergency landing somewhere it is just was. around that was meant to promote it it just it just done several tests in kazakhstan pockets done in myanmar and was said to go to laos vietnam on this plane it was the first commercial airplane built in russia after the soviet union in two thousand and seven there have been around one hundred seventy orders placed for this airplane around the world this

was a multibillion dollar project that had many countries involved time will tell. business impact this will have on the selling of this airplane many people many pilots that we've spoken to have said that perhaps this was human error off usually the visibility was not that great yesterday there was fog and there was raining actually heading to the airport right now we plan to. a russian blogger who was supposed to be on the airplane yesterday and did not. hide in several flights on the russian jet in the other locations during this era show he's been blogger and he's been tweeting pictures. and other information regarding the russian sukhoi superjet one hundred so i'll continue to bring you the latest information as. and you can get the latest updates on the plane crash.

website r.t. dot com here's what else is there for you right now strange activity at the suspected nuclear site find out just what it is up to online. and she will not let europe loosen its belt a move she believes could tip the eurozone into the economic abyss. of the sixty seven year anniversary of nazi germany which moscow spectacular victory parade dedicated to the event on you tube channel check out the other videos that we have . political parties in greece are struggling to come up with a power sharing coalition deal sending the crisis hit country to further turmoil general elections on sunday failed to produce an outright winner with leading parties so far failing to form a government well without an agreement fresh elections would have to be held on thursday i think is due to receive five point two billion euros in bailout funds but several eurozone countries are reluctant to forward this money because of the

political instability as part of the bailout terms are passed fourteen point five billion euros worth of sturdy measures. but financial chaos is in the public mistrust of pro austerity political parties well for more on this let's now talk to economic analyst mark he joins me live from berlin. clearly mark strong sentiment in greece wishing perhaps almost turning its back on austerity measures and reject the bailout plan that coalition was formed that weekend what would be the implications for the greeks if that indeed did happen. then the days of the euro were counted if this happened and this is what many people here in germany predicted already at the beginning of the establishing of the euro what we see is a programmed crisis it's very sad to see these things developing but it was more or less planned within the euro because so different different

countries like greece and germany are not fitting into one currency and it is the end of the day you will have this what we have now we have violence on the street it is not possible to realize everybody knows this so at the end of the day maybe greece is only not able to fulfill the plans that are promised and also this we talked a lot about this was already clear right from the beginning no country is able to realize authority measurements because this means that people go to the streets because there's more violence more political insecurity. that the country also becomes impossible to govern but what is the alternative growth has been suggested but how can a country boost its economy when it's in such a mess how does growth happen. well this is a totally contradiction if you. economic if you have to

cut down how can you spend money then how can you create labor for example this is a totally economical contradiction because tory of gaza screw you have to spend money you have to make in order to get some growth into your country but under the euro system and with germany together this is never possible not only for greece we will see also a domino effect which will spread into spain into portugal also italy and this will be then. the final nail in the euro coffin do you mean the final nail meaning that's the end of the euro yes i mean the euro never could work everybody who looks at it on an economical way knows that the eurozone just was not ripe in this situation also we have many difficulties with france for example all these countries need devaluation devaluation in order to become competitive but

michael you're there in germany is not there in germany angela merkel does not want to see the eurozone collapse she would say that that would lead europe into economic gloom into an abacus is there a danger perhaps she's going to be isolated when we see the sentiment from not just greece but also france now with its new president saying we don't want to see in france we're looking at growth. i mean angela merkel does not have any. will in order to make the situation in europe around the euro or more stable but at the end of the day i mean it's economical a lot that is developing here with the euro it's not working and especially with the situation that we have now in france can somebody promise to make more debts to america growth and so on and so on this only means more debt at the end of the day

and this is at the moment not possible i mean the whole it's the situation the whole problem that we have in the eurozone cannot be solved by rescue packages cannot be solved by more it cannot be solved anywhere it can only be solved by a break up of the euro or that means that germany pulls out and the worst of the countries in the use of within the euro zone will devalue their money then they are again competitive. someone said if they don't bail out of the euro zone they're still going to end up maybe when their own currencies but still owing a huge amount of money. how will they pay those debts off will they not start turning to their neighbors again in order to fund the debts that clearly they can't have got rid of just by leaving the euro. i mean of course people have more problems and at this moment a break never is easy but the only thing that i can tell you is if you don't do it

by yourself and don't do it orderly then the economical facts the economical forces will force the break of the war zone and when you look into the economical indicators and power meters that we have on the boards for example in the financial markets they are all on record all on all in the red zone so i ask what can happen i mean i don't see any other solution if i had this solution all this europe could work on we would all be happy to say ok we put this solution on the table because we like the euro but if it is not economical or the market working so it's better to face the facts then to follow a dream and then awake and then awake in a nightmare so pessimistic words for euro thank you very much indeed talking to us live from berlin always interesting to hear your thoughts thank you thank you.

let me put in has slumped the g eight summit in june to take place in the u.s. state of maryland next friday russia's president says he's too busy appointing his new cabinet to me to be very reason our prime minister will be sent to america to cover for him peter all of it has more. close to being a very busy week for vladimir putin on monday he was sworn in as president on tuesday how to deal with the election of a new prime minister in the palm and until wednesday he was poss of the annual victory day parade here in moscow so the president called her right here bomber and explained that he couldn't get attend the g eight next week he had to remain in moscow to finalize key cabinet appointments while the two leaders will instead meet next month in mexico the g twenty meeting to each image get of the prime minister who will be attending the g. eight representing russia instead though the white house issued a statement saying that they understood the position of president putin in welcoming the prime minister made yet of to camp david so the issue of key cabinet

appointments being listed as the reason for britain's nonattendance at the g eight however it has left some wondering if they could be another motive for i'm not going but to me it putin's never really been the biggest fan of the g. eight in fact he's said that he finds it somewhat outdated much prefer in the g twenty which includes more of the a mooching economies in the world countries like brazil china india russia does an awful lot of trade with no old so the president has said that he is committed to continuing the restart of relations with between russia and the united states through his began under the presidency of dmitri medvedev during his campaigning for the presidency flooded me a putin was very critical of some aspects of u.s. foreign policy in particular the united states is standing still in syria washington's treatment of tehran and the uranium nuclear program as well as the

american antti missile defense shield that's proposed to eastern europe. and dmitri trenin director of the moscow carnegie center says that the g eight inside the main problems between russia and america will be solved by the president's themselves. obama will still be handled by putin you may send me the video of two there so that diplomatic john barry and i believe that in the future mr putin will be sending me the idea to a lot of diplomat diplomatic functions around the world where he would not want to go where he could where he could not go for different reasons you can talk about the interests the intentions and the issues and i think that the biggest issue weighing in on the u.s. russian relations in the next couple of years will be the issue of ballistic

missile defense in europe if putin and obama find a way and that would. leave the united states where the system that is capable against you raney and missiles and yet assuredly harmless toward the russian in the continental ballistic missiles then we'll have a deal and then we'll have. a brighter future for the relationship if that deal for whatever reason is not reached then i think we can expect a period of progressive alienation and reminding between moscow and washington. it's time to take a look at some other world news in brief an air strike in yemen al qaeda militants in the country south the attack level the house in the town where the men were staying was being held by al-qaeda militants for the past year the u.s.

as long as the investigation is transparent. hundred. twenty twenty nine so you can fifteen percent of the global market. they have to create is a very sticky could have been that it was pilot error could have been any number of other factors the fact remains that this jet was certified by the europeans the americans which means there's no reason to believe that there's something technically wrong with this product it's all about perception it's all about how the marketplace perceives it's a safety and quality so if they can clear it up fast i don't think they'll suffer any damage as a result but as long as there's any question any overhang you know there's going to be a problem. on the markets the my six went over fourteen hundred points to their first games in seven investors like the central bank called to keep the refinancing rate
