into this attack a going. well the head of a russian investigation committee or use here in logic of cause at the moment and he is leading the investigation there have been reports that police detained three suspects but we haven't received any official confirmation of this so far. also there have been reports that the car where the explosive device was planted is coming from here the owner of this car was identified but he is not the man who was behind the wheel at the moment of explosion to be had body was found in the car a criminal case has been launched and investigators qualify the explosion as an act of terror also what investigators can say now the bomb was toft with a metal parts and this made the damage even worse and resulted in so many victims

well thanks for the correspondent and. with children meanwhile people who were severely injured and they attack are receiving medical treatment in moscow victims and their relatives who are airlifted to russia's capital and our correspondent in austin i was at the airport russia's minister of what is this plane has landed indeed here at the russians came in a tree i'm told outside moscow it's brought eleven people from the deck of cards we have been able to speak to the doctors who have been accompanying these eleven people from with cross to moscow here's what they say. the majority of victims of superficial injuries many of those near the epicenter of the explosion were killed those seriously injured have been taken to hospitals are still though there's a child in a coma suffering concussion and fragmentation wins he's been transported to a children's hospital along with his mother. these eleven people of those hopin

most seriously injured most hurt following the terror act. and that those who really need very special treatment and that's why they've been transported here to the russian capital this is where they can really get it as far as a doctor is a saint all those people are in very serious condition and their lives are very much in danger at least five of them have been put on respirators some of them have been operating so their condition is a rather difficult right now and this two hour long flight from was it. hasn't been an easy task for them but as far as the doctors are sure you know special equipment onboard this special ministry of emergencies has allowed them to feel safe while the interest for detail about traveling from but. shortly after the tragedy happened in the city of calls and vicious solved the russian government has said

that the families of those who died that will receive a thirty thousand dollars in compensation age while those serious pains most heard will get over ten thousand dollars in compensation age as well where if emotional reporting that the u.s. state department says militants operating in the north caucasus have links to al qaeda the statement also says washington is willing to help moscow in its forty against terrorism in the region thought is going to be more. this time russian the u.s. seem to be on the same page the u.s. state department said the terrorist attack in gaza as you mentioned is part of international terrorism and those who are responsible for it are international terrorists and they have connections to al qaida they also said it's a common goal for russia and the u.s. to work together to fight those terrorist groups but washer and the u.s. had in always being on the same page like that for years russia tormented by

a number of horrible attacks had been saying it's a common danger of these guys are international terrorists and we need help to find them to fight them but a while ago the common understanding of the common wisdom among many in the west was that those attacks are just part of separatist movements in russian caucuses and russia kept saying those terrorists are getting funding from abroad and a number of them. were trained abroad but internationally it had been treated like some sort of a domestic fight against insurgents while now things seem to be changing the u.s. has acknowledged that groups operating in russia have for international ties a few months ago shortly after deadly suicide bombings in the moscow metro the u.s. state department included the person who claimed responsibility for the attacks its name. in its list of most wanted terrorists and that was probably the first time that they did that sort of thing forty people died then in that attack or modify

also claimed responsibility for the attack on on the train traveling from same piece of work to moscow that was in november of last year well the russian security services would give a lot to have this man behind bars and now they seem to have some help from the united states in that in that fight. democratic party strategists korea slap a teen us ass that both russia and the u.s. navy each other and the war on terror. and this tragic day for the russian people that you know that this is a glaring example of where we should really be cooperating in something that really matters to people as you know the a saturday will be the ninth anniversary of nine eleven that will remind the american people again of that terrible tragedy and i think. you know that the americans understand that we're in a war and we need as much help as we can get so while cultural exchanges and and

even economic. trade or important things i think the things that really touch people motional e both in united states and russia will be would be a common fight against these criminals and i would be most happy to see a continuation of this kind of cooperation and i think that would have the biggest impact in both our countries. some of the world's finest some of the planet's most pressing problems the collision course here in the russian city of. which is gearing up for the second and final day of the global policy for there are some big name speakers yesterday and more to address the conference today well to get down to some of the details to our correspondent tests our silly right to the heart of it all. so as discussions are entering the second day gets

a flavor of well what can we expect. well yes today is the second day of the global policy forum and today we are expecting the arrival of russian president dmitri medvedev so it is going to be an important day and an important day for him and for russia because his idea of the proposed idea that he did he propose in two thousand and eight on the intersection battle on the treaty of european security is the main topic for today but there's only one agenda on the table and this is it's the idea of russian president dmitry medvedev and the proposal drafted last year by russia that was presented to the west that initially this treaty was mixed was greeted with mixed reactions some saying do we really need a new treaty some are saying this might actually be a good idea so this is what is going to be brought to the table of course we will also continue discussions that came out of yesterday's working sessions for terrorism to organized crime to energy security and to climate change but the most important on the table will be the need to rebuild

a euro atlantic policy based on collective and legal principles not yesterday we heard some of the speaker saying that there is no point really and just putting fault or finding fault in each other's policies each other system so today they are going to look for the weaknesses in the european security policies but they're also going to try to find solutions and they're going to try to find a ways to strengthen the european policies as a whole now there is an important concept. it will come out of this agenda today it's the concept of the indivisibility of security space that this is a concept that will keep keep coming up because it is based on the notion that anyone who participates in this treaty any nation will not be allowed to strengthen their own security at the expense of other nations so basically it's a way of cooperating and ensuring that everyone is on the same page of course you've got differing opinions there are some who were saying that do we really need a new architecture can we not just look at europe's existing systems and try to

find similarities and use that as a starting point so therefore today is really important because you will see what these opposing different sides will come up with and to see whether will really come up with a treaty on the european policy euro atlantic policy that will group together in foreign countries on the issue of security and stability which is really a main concern that has been coming up in the working session yesterday so we'll see what will come out come out of the talks today. but will. the big names we heard from many of them yesterday. yes ok let me just read some of the name so you we will have a member of the finnish parliament here today we will have a former foreign minister of poland he's a member also of the wise men a group of nato we will have a lot of political analysts political scientists those who are very much involved

in international politics we have a member of the state duma of russia and you've also had the chairman of the federation council of the federal assembly of the russian federation mr sergei miron of he will discuss the role of parliamentary bodies and developing a collective system to all this is very important because these people are very much involved in their professional work in the formation of policies of global policies how will it will it will affect geopolitics because again as i mentioned earlier today they will be dissecting this proposed idea by russian president dmitry medvedev it is an intersection panel and so all these experts will bring out they will try to find the pros and the cons and see if they can come to a consensus a conclusion and whether they can all agree on maybe perhaps we'll end the day with an actual treaty so we'll see if that will happen today. all right thanks very much indeed. of course another thing which is going to be discussed at the

forum is an article. written one year ago by president dmitri medvedev that's provoked a great deal of they spoke to the president's press secretary. to find out why. yes the. president made a bed of gave a detailed and unflattering account of the situation russia is currently in it was not unflattering in the meaning of critical of the previous period and previous achievements no on the contrary they were giving credit but it was stated that the model of development russia had chosen and pursued until now is no longer viable the president named a number of reasons that stand in the way of the country's development corruption was named as a major reason for delay in development but it is true that no competition is possible until we have a well built up today judicial system that until we combat corruption and have fair

unbiased courts and an unbiased law enforcement personnel in without all this it will be hard for russia to secure a good place on the global scene racialist of media. and you can see the full version of that interview with the president's press secretary in about fifteen minutes from though. i will continue our coverage of the global policy forum here and get us live in the hours ahead here this city is marking its millennial monday verse or e will be covering so operations day later today at war. when the news is not enough. when it's something really crucial what you want to get down to the. special coverage. this time the latest from the. live broadcast special guests discussions on

the way the modern state in providing security and stability of the present day world. question. other news now here in the u.s. pastor who threatened to burn copies of the qur'an on the anniversary of the nine eleven terrorist attacks on saturday says his plans on not canceled but they are postponed instead of a protest tomorrow he'll come to new york to meet with the muslim community behind the controversial mosque project planned to be built near ground zero to terry jones as move has been met with worldwide outrage president obama says the perspire wind is a relief to the american people he described the burning ceremony as a recruitment bonanza for all qaeda and said it would put american lives at risk at all to the reports now of americans who recently converted to islam so that there's no place for extremism in religion.

it's the call to prayer and it's answered by more than a billion muslims all over the world including caitlin billings a twenty two year old american who was raised christian converted last year the first of ramadan my mother. she was afraid that i was going to marry someone who would be. she was crying a lot of thought that i was returning her by changing my religion to something that she didn't know about backtrack almost a decade ago to nine eleven today our fellow citizens our way of life our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist attacks president bush waged a war on terror targeting extremists muslims who were labeled as terrorists many americans like you and billings remember that time in the united states very well you know i was fourteen when september eleventh happened so i didn't really know

what was going on if that really was you know people thought it was so i believe just like everybody else but as billings got older she decided to find out for herself and her investigation led her to the mistah center a mosque just outside of washington d.c. . it has become a haven for many americans like billings who have found a new poll found that almost forty percent of americans believe that muslims should carry identification cards despite that twenty thousand americans every year decide to convert to islam convert say they don't regret their decision at all it's a choice that they must think about every day around the world since nine eleven muslims have battled bands of their religious clothing profiling in airports and discrimination in their everyday lives people that are new since i was very small that i've changed personalities because of this they don't see past the scar they just knew the fact that i've changed. after joining our class to learn more about

islam carl dodge also decided to become a muslim one of the big jokes that i've always made is before i actually set down the class and open my career on everything i knew about islam i had learned from c.n.n. and i hope and a lot of people are like that so. in there were some negative reactions and when it comes to the mainstream media the depiction of converts can be somewhat extreme that pakistani officials have arrested adam gadahn this is the american born spokesman for al qaeda fox's work first there was john walker lindh the californian who converted joined the taliban and ended up fighting with them in afghanistan and then more recently it was jihad jane the blond haired blue eyed convert who allegedly recruited people to wage violent jihad and for many american muslims like dodge and billings the portrayal of converts is disturbing if those upset me a little bit because there's a lot of preconceptions people have been until i actually took the time to open up around and see what was written you know that was my only impression of islam as

what i had seen on t.v. and in the united states they say a culture of islamophobia just doesn't make sense it's a rights of practice your religion that's what this country was founded on. not only you know is that supposed to be that way here this country was founded on those principles that you know people that started this country were fleeing religious persecution i just had somebody asked me the other day is also are you against america now and it's like ok. i mean you know u.s. veteran as well i served in the u.s. navy and so i do believe in this country i volunteered to defend this country i volunteered to you know stand up for what the constitution says no matter what unfolds around her billing says she's proud to be a muslim if no one in the world wants to talk to me and my friend i still don't regret it you know i am completely happy right now happier than i've ever been in

my entire life happiness that might not make sense to those around her a little over three a sure either party annandale virginia. all right that's all from us for now but don't forget we'll be bringing you the full live coverage from the global policy forum in their russian city of yugoslavia throughout the day and we'll be talking to experts academics and politicians every hour and of course we'll bring you all the other news updates from russia and across the world in a few moments so you do a book about mosco should be bringing you the very latest from the world of business that's all for a short break stay with us here on alt. hungry for the food we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news maker. hello

and a very warm welcome to the business program america's grain exporters expected to raise the full cost for full here exposed to set a six million tonnes that's the increase in two months and suggests that american grain produces sa taking russia's export markets russia has suspended grain exports though it's expected to return to the markets next year as united states reports. the last one and a half months has wiped out the work of six years during which russia build a thirteen percent share of the world grain market the prolonged export ban not

only rocked international markets but also he did the mystique one russian wheat prices were based on export prices set on the trading floors of chicago and london now russia's consumers and producers come together in prices and green is sitting in storage the government has proposed sitting on domestic exchanges but specialists say it will be impossible to set a price with the export been in place if you're going to have a very stringent export policy imported policy or farm. mistake minimum prices for you know what's the point of the commodity exchange there won't be any price discovery if tomorrow you're going to put a huge tariff and only important thing or put it export tax or export bad or have a minimum price of often could be beyond the world level the world has become dependent on the c.s. for wheat supplying thirty percent of the world's needs this year russia sheers being covered by the u.s.

industry earlier but at higher prices but the united states has the supply step in australia as well step in and supply that grain it'll probably be more money than the russian grain was the last couple seasons and so importers such as egypt north africa will have to pay more money than there used to or they were the last couple seasons but they were and is there and they will be able to get it. and i think that in the next couple of years of russian air output increases again then they will enter the market again and they will be able to secure more market share to regain its market share russia will need a bumper harvest next year and that's looking unlikely russia's green producers who are going green waiting for better prices and can barely afford to plan next year's crop the export ban intended to protect russian consumers by keeping grain in the country could ultimately hurt them. did mean to do a business. problem will boost investment by thirteen percent in the final months

of twenty it will take the total sum of the year to about thirty billion dollars that's despite the companies that spoke to that good revenues will fall by four percent money will go on gas transport projects plants and russia's far east along with the north and south pipeline project the us expect further increasing of gas from the investment program into twenty eleven while revenues are still unlikely to rights because of the unstable demand for the count's. let's take a look at the market at the markets and we start with asia where the markets have risen to a one month high this comes after crude oil gauges fewer people applied for jobless benefits in the u.s. and japan estimates the second quarter cannot approach. the russian markets and of a black on thursday with the r.t.s. finishing up one and a half percent in the mice that's just over a percentage was the biggest gain on the mice it's up over five percent.
