the interstate aviation committee has completed its report and handed it over to the polish side earlier this year but the investigation isn't actually fully completed we do know according to the russian prosecutor general that forty three case files have been handed over to the polish side eleven just last month but that still isn't the complete case load of course concerning the investigation into the crash of the presidential plane which revealed of course president former president gets a chance to keep his wife and most of poland's political elite we know that the remains of that plane is something hard sell which were also entered into evidence through are also expected to be handed over to the polish side as well as further documents concerning the investigations its various records and transcripts of records poland initially was very much against the findings of the interstate aviation committee there was quite a big uproar in the area and i'll let of course by the former president's twin brother actually it was completely refused flat out to accept the findings of the interstate

aviation maybe what is still being accepted those conclusions made of course by the interstate aviation committee by the russian investigators and both the prosecutors general approach and the one stage is that they're satisfied with the level of cooperation that is present currently in relations between the two countries they're working very closely together on. the tragedy of w. bush the recent one as well as the historical the massacre investigations into a still ongoing russia of course because by a lot of miles and handing them over to the polish side of the declassification process continues so both sides seemingly very satisfied with the level of trust that currently exists in their relationship but of course the investigation is still far from complete you know that there are many more case files evidence and plain current ones that remain to be turned it over to the polish side there were also some questions raised by polish journalists about possible identification missed but we know that both of those general said that they're very happy with the way the thing the station is ongoing th

transcripts of records poland initially was very much against the findings of the interstate aviation committee there was quite a big help for it when the lead of course by the former president's twin brother actually it was completely refused flat out to accept the findings of the interstate aviation maybe which of course included that the crash was due to pilot error mr catchin ski and many of his supporters in poland chose instead to blame russia for the crash especially russian air traffic controllers who according to some in poland should not have allowed that plane to land but as many officials in russia in maryland all over the world aviation experts. say that air traffic controllers simply do not have that kind of authority over the pilots of a presidential plane from both sides working very hard to make sure that everybody is satisfied with the work that is being carried out with the progress that is taking place and with the investigation results three top will do stories. straight he's old enough. police opened fire to disperse the demonstrators as they threw stones and set a police

today the aviation committee is holding an oversight hearing on air-traffic control safety. colleague will be here soon but i want to recognize him and his new role as ranking member for the subcommittee. i look forward to working with them. we are going to work on the recent incidents where traffic controllers fell asleep during nine shifts and the increase of operational errors by air- traffic controllers. this year there have been a number of incidents sleeping on duty. i am concerned about these incidences. some are examples of unprofessional behavior on the part of an international -- their actions are unacceptable. they do have a responsibility to come to work arrested. some have used those to try to tarnish the reputation of a dedicated group of men and women who work to ensure our eight -- aerospace is the safest. they monitor 35,000 flights daily. roughly 2 million air passengers come into direct contact with air traffic control each day. we can talk about how the next technology is going to help us improve the system. but we cannot forget that, at the heart of the

today, the aviation committee is holding an oversight hearing on air traffic control and safety. i know that my colleague will be here soon. i want to recognize him in his new role as the ranking member for the subcommittee. the two issues that we are going to focus on are basically at an advent of recent incidents when air-traffic patrollers fell asleep during night shifts and the increase in operational errors by air-traffic controllers. there have been a number of incidents of air traffic controllers the bullying on duty. i am deeply concerned about these incidents. some are clearly examples of unprofessional behavior on the part of an individual comptroller. their actions are unacceptable. controllers do have the responsibility to come to work rested. some have used those incidents to try to tarnish a group of dedicated men and women who do work to make sure our airspace is the safest in the world. air traffic controllers monitor 35,000 flights daily. nearly 2 million air passengers come into contact with air traffic control each day. we can talk about how the next gen techno

today the aviation committee is holding an oversight hearing on air traffic control safety. and i know my colleague, senator thune, will be here soon, but i want to recognize him in his new role as ranking member for this subcommittee, and i say that i look forward to working with him. the two issues we are going to focus on, basically, are advent of a series of recent incidents where air traffic controllers fell asleep during night shifts, and the increase in the number of operational errors by air traffic controllers. as you know, this year there have been a number of incidents involving air traffic controllers sleeping on duty, and i'm deeply concerned as i know the chairman of the full committee is about these incidents. some are clearly examples of unprofessional behavior on part of an individual controller. their actions are totally unacceptable. controllers do have a professional responsibility to come to work rested. unfortunately, some have used those incidents to try and tarnish the reputation of a dedicated group of men and women who do work every day to insure th

have the heads of the security for the airlines we work together very closely in cargo in aviation and committees and all these guys have a lot of experience. they all have secret clearances. they all have a lot of experience in handling, in sanitizing sensitive information. so we have hundreds -- each of the carriers have hundreds or thousands of employees out there that can work to look for those suspect passengers, suspect boxes, suspect cargo. and so it never gets onto the aircraft as opposed to 1028 when those packages actually made it on the aircraft. i don't want it on my aircraft. i want to help the government agencies find it before it gets somewhere else in the supply chain before it gets in the air. so we have the information to do that and we're working on projects to give -- give tsa, dhs and customs the information as far as the cargo shipper information as far in advance and they can massage it and we can find out who the suspect shippers are. it may not be a suspect shipper by company. it may be a suspect area of the world that the threat is coming in from particularly now. >> uh-

committee, errors rose 53% in the last few months. they also said that air traffic controllers are suffering from fatigue and at risk of making errors. the head of the federal aviation commission is promising improvements. >> the american public trusts us to make safety the highest priority every day year in and year out. >> there has been an influx of young inexperienced trainees. >>> the obama administration is buying more than 100,000 cars and installing charging stations. it's all in an effort to boost the use of fuel efficient vehicles. the president wants a 1/3 reduction in u.s. oil imports by the year 2025. >>> another mayor coffee brand is reporting a price increase. smucker says folgers and packaged duncan donuts coffee. >>> considered an old fashioned disease that's making modern headlines. doctors say 118 cases of measles have been reported in 23 u.s. states as of last friday. they say that's a lot for this early in the year and the fastest pace they've seen since 1996. the u.s. normally sees about 50 cases a year thanks to routine vaccinations. doctors say almost all of the cases this year are among people who did not get vaccinated. >>> new bay area res

aviation. there is an independent group called the rtca which performs this role. the rtca is a private, not for profit corporation develops recommendations and standards. it centrally functions as a federal advisory committee. it's been extremely effective in getting the industry players to work together to produce strong aviation industry standards. another recommendation i agree with in the oil spill commission report was that safety environment and negligent systems should be required as a prerequisite for issuing licenses and permits for exploration and drilling activities. it may be inappropriate or infeasible for them to get deeply involved in many of the activities needed to improve safety in this industry such as certification and training, better learning from events, compliance with maintenance and management of change procedures and real-time advice to decisionmakers as they're making critical decisions. i was personally very surprised that there was no mention of any operational safety group advising decisionmakers on the platform as they were making the decisions on deep water horizon. these are the important functions of a company safety management system that clearly didn't have good ones. a
