because the explosion was so powerful that all the windows were smashed out even the back windows of the houses at this street were smashed out there's a curator measures in what he got across the tide and the moment you can see more police cars in the streets and the security has been timed and as well on the border between english and north a city here today not the city's declared it do your morning so we all churches throughout the cd and behold republic people will be praying over the victims and now we're hungry or of the injured are still in hospitals ten of them are unconscious and the doctors still don't know their names and where they're coming from the head of the investigation committee is now in logic of cars and he is leading the investigation they have been reports the police detained who are suspects but we haven't received any official confirmation so far what we do know is that the car where the bomb was planted comes from english it is the owner of

those identified but he isn't all the man who was behind the wheel at the moment of a terror attack a criminal case has been launched and the investigators qualify the case as an act of terrorism they also say that the bomb contains mad all parts and this made the damage wouldn't worse and that's why it resulted in so many people being injured. those most hurt in a terror attack have been airlifted to moscow by the merchant says minister along with their relatives eleven people including a child in a coma where aboard especially quick plane which lended in the moscow region during the night they will be receiving special care in the capital's hospitals their condition is reported as very serious the russian government has promised compensation for the families of the victims and those injured in the blast the u.s. state department says militants operating in the north caucasus have links to al qaida this is washington is willing to help its forty against terrorism in the

region or to go to church cohen has more. this time russia and 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. it into 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 place of work to moscow that was in november of last year while 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. the democratic party strategists chris laughter tina says that both russia and the u.s. navy each other in this war on terror. 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 was you know the 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 are important things i think the things that really touch people emotionally both in united states or 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. well some of the world's funniest minds some of the planet's most pressing problems the

collision course here in the russian city. which has ended its second and final day of the global. war big names are due to address the conference today world leaders among them on issues like global peace security and economic modernization right for more on the details within now cross to our correspondent tests that are right there at the heart of it all hi tess us of the second days underway and give us a flavor of what we can expect and who are some of the headline names we'll see. that's right this is the second day of the global policy forum and today we are expecting some big names among them of course is russian president dmitri medvedev we're also expecting a korean president lee myung bak and a former japanese prime minister yukio hatoyama and of course italian prime minister silvio berlusconi so we have a large contingent from asia and from western europe of course we also have representatives from the un and nato so we expect the head of state to be sitting

down with each other having one of one conversations and we also expected to be briefed on the work concessions that took place yesterday that discuss terrorism security energy energy security that is organized crime among other things but today there is one agenda on the table and that it's going to be investigative panel on the treaty of european security if you recall this idea was proposed by russian president medvedev in two thousand and eight and the draft was made in two thousand and nine by russia now although this is a russian initiative it has been put on the international table for discussion and the discussion is whether a new framework a new architecture of security should be formed within the euro area now some people are saying that perhaps we should look at the similarities between the different countries and use that as a stepping so to come up with this security policy on the other hand perhaps there will be a new architecture so it will be. interesting to see the thoughts of the inside to come out of this it is european security your european atlantic security is

important to global security which is why we have representatives from all the way from the far east so this is really about cooperation and how the countries can work together now to speak to us more about the cooperation of countries i'm joined by mr somewhere. and he is the. minister for brazil now he will tell us more about the relationship of the bric countries brazil russia india and china some experts are doubting the appropriateness of grouping these countries together because they are economically so different why are they together in the first place. very logical intuition and logical lucian's we have similar challenges in terms of to. accomplish two. large.

the global policy forum line. special guests discussions on the use of the modern state in providing security and stability of the present day world. questionable. to other news now here in l a t the u.s. person who threatened to burn copies of the qur'an on saturday's anniversary of the nine eleven terrorist attacks says his plans are not canceled but they all postponed the initial threat to be met with worldwide outrage president obama described the displacement of the burning ceremony as a recruitment bonanza for al qaeda and said it would put american lives at risk meanwhile a new poll shows that the u.s. has seen a rois in the number of people converting to islam off to eleven but it is pretty sure the reports now all americans who've recently become muslims and say there is 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 caitlin 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 a center a mosque just outside of washington d.c. that 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 care. three identification card despite that twenty thousand americans every year decide to convert to islam be a 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 after joining a 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 an open microphone everything i knew about islam i had learned from c.n.n. 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 then did 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 a koran 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 proper religion that's what this country was founded on 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 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 so are granted a happiness that might not make sense to those around her. reassure either party annandale virginia. serbia is dropping at chalons to kosovo's independence at the united nations but great has a bit of this section of the un resolution that called close of a secession unacceptable they view serbia that it was through its draft and focus instead on its prospects were e.u. membership the modified resolution is the result of a compromise forced by the twenty seven member e.u. and serbia because of us to sit it from serbia for two years ago after decades of conflicts in colonies for antiwar dot com. thanks serbia has much to lose from the

agreement. in practice it stands to gain absolutely nothing it stands to lose everything. the resolution was changed so that the e.u. would be less angry with serbia but what brussels is still demanding is pretty much an unconditional surrender a full abdication of state sovereignty or any sort of independent foreign policy i think there will be a colossal backlash against the government among the people there will definitely be some some significant changes coming down the pike i believe so honestly because the current government by by doing this has exhausted any sort of credibility any sort of claim to be defending the country has completely obliterated its electoral promises of fighting for kosovo and refusing to recognize it because the resolution as it reads right now is an implicit recognition of the succession has alienated its strongest allies in the world from russia to china and brazil and other countries and has done all this to basically score points with the e.u. and the e.u.

itself doesn't really recognize this and will continue to apply pressure and humiliate the country and it's at this point just a matter of time before the people realize that they've been completely robbed of their birthright and of their entire country and then it's who knows how they will react. well before we cross back to moscow for the latest business news let's have a quick look at some of the world news in brief now. broken out in a residential district near san francisco after what is believed to be a gas pipe explosion residents heard a gloss before at least a dozen homes were engulfed to try to contain the twenty metre high flames and stop them from spreading to nearby buildings that are also some injuries but the exact number is still. a bus with nearly thirty passengers on board has been hit by a freight train in south is killing at least nine people and further fifteen where were injured when the train smashed into the bus and dragged it along for almost

that's right time to get the latest from the world of business a very warm welcome to the program and america's grain exporters are expected to raise their forecast for four year exports to fetch a six million tons that's the thirteen christen two month sense adjusts that american grain produces are taking russia's export markets russia has suspended grain next fall so it's expected to return to the markets next chair today the minister reports. the last one and a half months has wiped out the work of six years during which russia built a thirteen percent share of the world grain market the prolonged expert event not only rocked international markets but also he did the mystic one russian wheat rises were based on export prices set on the trading floors of chicago in london now russia's consumers and producers come to green prices and green is sitting in storage the government this group who's sitting on domestic exchanges but specialists say it would be impossible to set

a price with export been in place if you're going to have a very stringent export policy or imported policy or farm domestic minimum prices 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 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. wheat supplying thirty percent of the world to me this year russia's shares being covered by the u.s. industry but at higher prices but the united states has the supply to step in australia as well step in and supply that grain it will 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 there were and is there and they will be able to get it. and i think

that in the next couple of years of russian output increases again 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 screw up the export been intended to protect russian consumers by keeping green in the country could ultimately hurt them didn't mean to do a business or. gas from will boost investment by thirteen percent in the final months of twenty it will take the total sum for the year to about thirty billion dollars that's despite the company's expectations that the revenues will fall by four percent the money will go on to key gas transport projects plants and russia's far east along with the north and south through pipeline project analysts expect

further increasing of gas from the investment program into twenty eleven while revenues are still unlikely to rise because of the unstable demand for the gas. to look at all the markets a fairy but sol that start with asia where the nikkei is high and this comes after crude oil gained as fewer people applied for jobless benefits in the u.s. and japan boosted its second quarter economic growth to hang saying it's flush to a negative. and in most of the r.t.s. has started the day on a negative note down point two percent on the minus six figures that you see right now all of yesterday's closing against trading a few minutes. could offer a four point four point six billion dollars loan to solve a small bank chief herman kraft told reporters in the giant need to refinance his debt to bank they have has also announced that they privatization of nine point three percent stake in suburban won't happen this year turning to its operations he

added that they're funded. that says we take a loan put forward to grow ten to fifteen percent in twenty ten. the anti monopoly service has approved x five retail buying one hundred percent of the big chain store if the deal takes place expired well controlled twenty five percent of russia's grocery market the owners of defeat have already said they want to sell off because it was also looking at an i.p.o. value of the change at one point seven billion dollars the. russian exchanges promise to offer a trade in the ruble and chinese yuan within months but business men say it's unlikely to have much impact for small and medium sized enterprises. really. recently it's really growing and we all know that it's all is to me yes two years dollars so when we get the u.s. dollar from our customer we are not sure how much we should pay to morrow to chinese vendors so this is

a really big change risk or frankly speaking i'm very skeptical be they put it into practice first to war and second it to influence only big business maybe somehow we'll be utilized by big companies who trade wrong what you wrote you try to maybe do it will be it will be more easy for them to try. and find something on real estate russia development fund or our geo got out of a developer project with forty percent profits the project launched just as the global financial crisis broke out was originally estimated at more than ten million dollars and list say even now it's rather hard to reach this level of profitability the funds usually aim at twenty five to thirty percent of profits. that's all we have time for now you can get more stories from our website r.t. dot com slash business.
