my experience was landing by birth into an urban town land. my family, my mother is first generation i'm second generation. my grand mother lived in the apartment building with us. i had aunts upstairs. another aunt lived close by. pretty much 4 days a week my great uncle would come in and visit all of these people my uncle, my grand mother and so forth, all were from a town land called outside of robin. when i was growing up i would hear the names. and they would conjure the sense of another world i was no longer a part of but was connected to. i think the -- i came to the brink of this sort of, you know, really quest gradualy by hearing the names. the other experience i had when i was growing up is music in my grand mother's house. my grand mother live on the first floor of the apartment building the door was open. everyone in the apartment building stopped there after work. they would stop for a drink and play polka, not polka, poker. and lynched to john gibbons play an accordion on his wooden leg. you had the sense of people having come ov

lies with the pilot and his crew but also that air traffic controllers can never deny a landing they can only advise to land at an alternate airport which we know from the cockpit recordings that was done several times in this incident in reaction to what we heard out of poland on tuesday the interstate aviation committee took an unprecedented move they published new transcripts of recordings that took place during that flight here's a piece of one of the conversations that was revealed. what are the weather conditions fog four hundred metres visibility temperature and pressure please temperatures plus two pressure seven forty five seven four five there's no opportunity for landing thank you but if it's possible we'll try a landing approach weather permitting if not we'll proceed to a second circle one a one where you have enough fuel for a second circle after the landing approach yes we will making a landing approach is the captain's decision at the height of one hundred meters you have to make a decision minsk and vitebsk will be requested for a sidetrack have you ever made a landi

gary lane has that story from jerusalem. >> reporterholy land is the land of conflict and strife, security fences and check points, a land where 3 faiths, christianity, islam and judais intersect. >> from this country, our faith began. and in this country, our hole essence of christianity was started in this area of the world. yet it is a place where the christian minority is disaparing. >> you feel like somebody is choking you and no way out. i need to get out and find some where else. >> this is via dell rosa. thousands come to walk in the stepings of jesu what about the christia that live here? many are leaving. this could be become like are a christian diseny land, a fine place to visit, but without a christian presence. 4500 christians lived in 1940, todayless than 10,000. the numbers are staggering, christians leaving by the thousands. those living in israel, gaza and west bank total only about 150,000. that is less than percent of the population. brian bush is president of the christian foundation for holy land. >> if that christian exodus continues who is left in the hous of worshi

the land that was given to it by the way of him a land that is our historical homeland the land that we were dispossessed from and therefore we just have to be strong and tell the truth which is this is our land and we should not give it away and i think the proves that the palestinians will back down if you just say the truth which is this that it's your butt and if you look at the donkey you let me say jack if you look at the documents these were negotiations if you read the documents these are negotiation so then again that's being disingenuous because if you don't believe in these negotiations why are you pretending to be involved in these big oceans you can't really have it both ways so go ahead may i go ahead go ahead agree with you one hundred percent i do if you want me if you want to just really. is there is no claim to. really know i'm going to. i want to. be well if that's what you think. and that's why. folks like you just like international law don't talk about international law and the minute omar you've been listening to this discussion going on crosstalk early on in t

as holy as the land of israel is human life is more holy. so if you can prevent bloodshed by a territorial compromise as painful as it is to give up part of. the places that was located your history of god's promise to to the place where kings and profits while it's human life. with hands down trumps it's so much more important. i've been i've been but i think that. the majority of the person who struggles is a civilian it's an insurrection. when a child throws a stone at a soldier it's just a fight. when you wage a war against a civilian population with an army it's incredibly stupid to believe the violence is not going to. go back at you at some point i'm not going to tell you that it's it's right or legitimate or or morrow to to blow up a bus with civilians but if you want to. bomb and kill a thousand four hundred people in. in in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect until the feet. you have to be either extremely naive or it's to me so. sometimes in some cases you choose unjust means because they're the only means

you can see that the crew was calm and confident into the end continuing their landing despite warnings from the aircraft's automated system to. the committee highlighted what they believe are the three main causes that led up to those final moments and ultimately the tragic accident nursed revenue and earnings of series or a failure to make a timely decision to land at a reserve airport based on multiple recommendations of our poor weather conditions at smolensk airport descending lower than the safe minimum height necessary to make a second landing attempt or failure to react properly to automatic commands those are the reasons which led to the tragic crash of the aircraft into the land and the death of those on board. now the film which you can see in full on our website archie dot com demonstrates how there was also passenger pressure on the crew to land as soon as possible in fact there's a quote from the navigator who says he'll go crazy it's being assumed that the hill he's talking about is either the polish president or the commander in chief of the polish air force who was in t

our savannah says it wants its land back. and a happy ending to an icy saga as three hundred people are told to safety after being stranded off russia's far east coast for over two weeks. the breakthrough treaty between moscow and washington to cut nuclear arms is now just one step away from reality russian lawmakers are set to approve the start to agreement by the twenty fifth of january past the second of three parliamentary readings in the duma for the treaty was signed by president medvedev and obama in april last year it would see the two countries nuclear. arsenal slashed by a third within seven years the new start was passed by the u.s. senate just before the new year after being strongly opposed by republicans congressman added several changes forcing russia to counter-balance those amendments to keep the treaty intact the head of the state duma as foreign affairs committee told r.t. washington is responsible for the long drawn out ratification process also expressed fears the u.s. may one day pull out of the deal. ma

land land land that's what it comes down to the israelis don't care about these they want as much territory as they can get and so you know what we've been seeing is the israelis dragging their feet and building settlements at the same time they're building facts on the ground so the more they have on the ground you know the less they have to give away and that seems to have been the strategy. you know what this shows is that the it's very interesting i almost want to say that seems to me the leak must have come from the p.a. that appears trying to distance itself from these papers but really they will serve the p.a. and the outside international community because it makes the p.a. you know it runs the risk of making that hey look pathetic at home while sympathetic abroad and it's one more piece of evidence that israel is not really a partner in the peace process and that the world needs to step in and help the palestinians build a state just like the one helped israel build a state in one nine hundred forty seven you know with the u.n. vote in one nine hundred forty seven that that establi

the land that that was set aside by the federal government for schools, in exchange for these lands that schools were supposed to get revenue from, that is the reason that states are not allowed to tax federal land. that was the trade-off. all of the eastern states have sold off all of their land. there are no school trust in eastern states. we have an ability to identify 55,000 acres of land in california that we could put in the trust and get revenue to fund the schools in california. a person who is an expert on this says that it includes a downtown building in san francisco, a building that is available to the land trust. we need to be able to work with the state. this is very interest. i would wonder bank any of these properties were part of this at that time. >> it will take some historical digging, but we will find out. commissioner yee: in regards to the site for this, do we have any other property in simular situation with another entity? >> to our knowledge, every other piece of property are under the district's name. president kim: roll-call. commissioner maufas: yes. vice-pre

in the incident here is evidence the crew was afraid of disappointing someone if they didn't land. it's not clear whether the navigator was referring to the polish president or the commander in chief of the air force who was in the cockpit and later alcohol found in his blood poland was not satisfied with the draft report compiled by the i.a.c. which found pilot error was to blame and insists various factors at play caused the accident but aviation experts have. in the findings my experience with the russian investigators has been very good they're very high quality organization that i believe that it was the investigation was generally cured out in accordance with the international civil aviation organization annex thirteen which is the international standard for accident investigation who did russia have a turbulent history and it was hoped politics wouldn't card the investigation i think what the what the polish government wants to be able to present to the polish people is that this was not purely the fault of the polish crew and that russia take some blame for it as well i don

as a banner says it wants its land back. and a happy ending to an icy saga as three hundred people are total safety after being stranded off russia's far east coast for almost two weeks. or the pivotal deal between moscow and washington to cut arms is now one step closer to reality russian lawmakers promise to ratify start by the end of the month after it was approved in the second of three readings the treaty that would see the two countries nuclear arsenals slashed by a third was signed by president obama last year it was given the go ahead by the u.s. senate just before the new year after months of debate congressman several key changes forcing russia to counter-balance those amendments to keep the treaty intact the head of the state duma's foreign affairs committee constantine costa trough told r.t. that washington is responsible for the long drawn out ratification process but he also expressed fears the u.s. may one day pull out of the deal. they amended with the senate resolution just very dramatically and they left us

reasons to crewmembers a lack of a bad weather readiness of pressure from passages to land quickly and the pilot's refusal to look for an alternative landing side those are listed as the main reasons behind april's deadly crash which killed polish president lech kaczynski the investigative committee has presented its final report on the accident schools and poetry will follow its calls live now it's all it seems and he said now he's following developments for us and he said now the reports been delivered have there been any surprising revelations. but one of the things that was presented which does give new details and in fact illustrations of the last thirty six minutes of that flight is a film that the international aviation committee has put together of the i.a.c. it does reveal those last for wing moments of that flight in fact we can take a listen to it. right. now the committee did go through several points that lead up to those last couple of seconds which you just saw let me go through them for you the first was the crew's refusal to take advice from air traffic controllers to

this piece of land between the potomac starts out as a real neck of land, but then it expands as we follow the course of the potomac river to its source in the mountains, and then it comes down along this line. it says lord fairfax's boundary. so this huge piece of land here became an obstacle and an opportunity in a way for young washington because he was, of course, his father had died when he was 13, his half brother lawrence stood to inherit the lion's share of property, and washington seemed to be, like many second sons in colonial america, destined to seek his fortune in the west. and so fairfax, in fact, was a great connection for young washington, he gave him his first job as a surveyor and created social connections to him. lawrence was married into the fairfax family which you can see on the map, too, i show in a close up the fairfax estate was right next, right across the creek from what became mount vernon. so washington was taken there many times, became part of that social circle with his brother. so that led to advancement, to jobs and, ultimately, to seeking not just a job

get this country and the israelis also they would need some land to grow. and refueling rights which no arab. country would give and basically this could. be flawed. ideas against israel and israel good probably even seize to exist so i think it's. just a nonstarter from the beginning. as every country in the world the iranians just would like to make sure of their defense and their national security is provided for so from the other side then do you really think that iran does pose as big a threat as is often portrayed in the west or is it all media hype. well i think it's very important to do so and a threat. for united states yeah we know has been demonized. the previous bush jr administration but unfortunately its. legacy demonisation and ostracisation. is not really gated to obama administration in the united states which has never provided any. solution for the it's the rainy and nuclear program. and probably some in the israel thing but it's nation on threat. but you know in this case any military solutions as i said they're meaningless and they shou

demands in the west bank the wall results in further land loss to israeli settlers . but there are israelis helping the palestinians to recessed the construction of the wall what we're doing here right now is trying to block out to the walls to trying to stop protection i did reach into more from where we're standing at the top of the wall right now there's about here about four or five kilometers into where the bank i'll try to fix the wreckage can recognise border international court of justice in the hague slewed dispatched to fish the construction of fish barrier h.g.v. go but if you go continue continue building it right now where no huge cognate lane twenty five hundred dunam about to be confiscated from the village. was probably one. strike short. thanks. thank. god i know. jonathan polak has participated in the direct action some demonstrations for many years several times a week. he has been arrested and physically injured by israeli soldiers i was i was like. oh so you're right i really want to go but you know it's a very big part of my life and. you know in

thank you but if it's possible try a landing approach weather permitting if not we will proceed to a second circle one of will and when you have enough fuel for a second circle after the landing approach yes we will making a landing approach is the captain's decision at the height of one hundred meters you have to make a decision minsk and vitebsk will be requested for a sidetrack have you ever made a landing at a military airfield of course polish one a one at one hundred meters be ready to proceed to a second circle yes sir flaps and wheels down i control horizon make a second circle make a second circle make a second circle where is it make the second circle one a one. no of course poland especially the opposition forces in poland specifically the brother of the deceased polish president. they attempted to blame russia for the tragedy saying that there were a lot of false in the investigation many in poland actually of the opinion that air traffic controllers should have outright forbidden the polish pilots to land at that airport and instead of forcing them to revert they used a
