as the us memorialize the victims of the nine eleven attacks we were more on how it continues to explain why with hundreds of emergency workers dying in the illnesses from ground zero. and in russia the republic of north has said he had pays its

final respects to the seventeen killed by thursday's terrorist bombing of a busy market. a massive fireworks display crowned celebrations of the millennium line of verse three of the city of jaroslav and also host of the global policy forum forum for talks on the future of democracy and security. also big protest against big brother thousands demonstrate against europe across europe against excessive surveillance say they want their privacy back. twelve midnight in moscow good to have you with us here on r t i match the day that has so far defined this century exactly nine years since nine eleven when islamic

terrorists flew hijacked planes into new york's twin towers and the pentagon commemoration ceremonies taking place across the country to mark the deadliest attack ever on u.s. soil it was orchestrated by al qaeda and claimed nearly three thousand lives but the actual number of deaths caused is likely to be much higher and continues to grow. has met some of the rescuers who say they're still suffering the horrific health effects as a result from their work at ground zero. gary white was an american hero in two thousand and one. actually the diagnosis is being directly sits in the middle of in two thousand and ten the nine eleven first responder represents an exploding health crisis u.s. officials have failed to address its tolly across the page carcinoma saw coma gall bladder cancer and liver cancer the retired n.y.p.d. detective spent six months sifting through world trade center debris and clouds of toxins later resulting in asthma sleep apnea post neurological problems and

two strokes the first one is massive. i was paralyzed i lost command of my speech. i had to learn to walk and talk again the police department denies his illnesses are linked to nine eleven you have suffered leaving the twenty three year veteran with the amount on medical debt this form wants for three hundred fifty three and a daily dose of. medications the worst attack on u.s. soil took place here on september eleventh a day when nearly three thousand people lost their lives in a matter of hours and in the nine years that have followed nine hundred first responders have died victims of their own courage n.y.p.d. sergeant michael ryan was diagnosed with three types of cancers before losing his battle at just forty one years old and it's a fight that can break even the strongest john jeff was diagnosed with throat

cancer hospital bills one million dollars we do so much overseas and i am not saying not to do it we're a powerful nation we should lead by example but we're not leaving my example here. we're not leading by example here when you turn your backs on the nine eleven emergency responders those who sacrificed for the country now left struggling alone sure enough point nine r.t. new york. another one of those brave first responders was muslim american activist or do you know oday ramadan she says that since the attacks islam has been misunderstood in the u.s. and that american muslims shouldn't be scapegoated for what the hijackers did. really what this shows in the most disturbing part about this debate is it's become an us against them that is the most troubling aspect because we are all americans again we're signing collective guilt on the one billion muslims that practice this

faith and the acts of nineteen millions that basically defiled islam and practiced a perverted version of islam for a political agenda and now to assign blame on all muslims is completely incorrect and inaccurate but i think the great majority fear islam because they don't understand that the beauty of this country is the constitution and that all americans despite faith despite race are afforded the same civil liberties. commentary from american muslim activist and nine eleven first responder regina o'day ramadan talking about they were the perception of islam in the u.s. meanwhile american officials say that al qaeda has been seriously weakened since it carried out the nine eleven attacks but in recent times much international attention has shifted to the terror network's capacity to help other militant groups around the globe dennis samut from the london information network on conflicts and state building sees his hand in the recent violence that struck the

north caucasus now the situation in the north caucasus is complex multi-layered but certainly part of the pros has now been a completely hijacked by it's not just radicals there are clearly connections between terrorist groups in afghanistan and pakistan and the attacks that took taken place both in nine eleven states as well as in other parts of the world including into north caucasus there are some clear signs that there are connections between elements in the north caucasus who are. doing get their acts such as the one going to cover to earlier this week and. the groups in pakistan and afghanistan. commentary from dennis samet with the london information network on conflicts and state building the victims of nine eleven are being memorialized in

many places around the world or russia among them dozens have come to wait for hours at the u.s. embassy in moscow for the service was also held at an american church in the city and was there that the u.s. ambassador to russia compared terrorism with naziism and said that most countries are united in the fight against it oh over the years that we've done with these ceremonies i've come to understand something larger. as a memory to the victims of terrorism through. does our president alone that is expression to go in says after the recent terrorist attacks including. these terrorist attacks only spring in our resolve. to work together. to stand against terrorists. to protect their people and. we're going to live today. in the fight against the source.

of evil in the twenty years. those words from the u.s. ambassador to russia john virally meanwhile victims of a terror attack in russia are being laid to rest today a car bombing in the southern republic of north thursday killed seventeen left more than one hundred sixty wounded seventeen of those with the most serious injuries now being treated in moscow investigators meanwhile say they suspect several police men of negligence reports suggest the officers actually stopped the attackers car for an inspection shortly before the blast but didn't check the truck where the explosives were thought to have been hidden arteries are solidly for over reports. the ticket prices grieving over the last and you can feel sadness everywhere as soon as the market area has been open people started coming to the scene they are brain in for the hours like those they are talking to each other they are remembering what happened and they also are trying to find out what happened to

people they know today funerals of eleven victims are taking place in logic i guess this is the second day of funerals here and several of the dead will be buried enjoyed your own niña and ukraine through the whole night people have been praying in churches because they were candles match with the relatives of the victims and here is my report two lives. interrupted at the moment when yes i'm on my mantle and have total and when some knew which had been at the clinic across central market they see the boy was quarreling with his brother about riding a bike so grandma promised to buy a little new. play to their dreams were wiped out by the blast so we would the markets i went into a shop was my mother wife and two sons stayed outside and then an explosion i rushed out and saw all four of them and around the last two. died was one and a half years old my three year old son is now in surgery doctors as. there were

a lot of people in the stairs. rafiq yes i'm on met almost every morning before go into the market that day rafiq i felt sick and stayed home yes a man went alone to sell grapes and never came back. this is a father and his one and a half year old son who died and this is his wife she was injured at lax and hands of and this is the want to die. twenty years ago when life in georgia became difficult for s.t. as a phrase like many in her village quiet and hospitable yes a man packed his things and headed to logic of cars her small family makes their leaving from selling fruit and vegetables and a year ago moved closer to the central market village to work closely to share the ones to the graves another was selling limits she was answer is through them who hold the hood but she was badly injured so leg was ripped out of that chair d.v.d.'s and they couldn't stop the blood. crying over the last many people and

logic of course refused to believe the blast really happened the main question for manual remains why it goes. these are barbarians like you monsters not human nature these people have neither nationality nor humanity. i think it was deliberately planned to bring this tragedy to the republic this is the sixth time something like this has happened in the choosing holidays to cause racial hatred but they want to achieve it. grief and sorrow has united the people and logic of cause russians a satans ukrainians and as a result all bring flowers to the scene and on a blot to help the injured. the glass is cracking under the feet of those who come to the gates of the sun for a lark it hears it echoes in the elf just choice interrupted only by those claiming to know a pair in the area people try to stay closer to each other as if this close this can help them to live through the tragedy in the head of the federal security

service is reports that sweep people are detained more details elysian this is what we know that one of the security guards at the entrance gates of the central market the lads there at the car go through he was inspecting the car something seemed weird probably and a car and the driver had to turn the vehicle and just moments later the car exploded this resulted in less are people being injured going would look up because this is all information that we have so far the federal security services says that investigation is still going on. this week's terror attack in russia's north caucasus and the nine eleven anniversary have heated up debate on whether it's actually possible to stop international terror and how of course war is interested in your opinion on the topics we cover and you can have our say by logging on to our web site r t v dot com let's take a look at how the votes are split so far thirty five percent of you think insuring a high living standards for all maybe the best way to tackle terrorism while twenty

seven percent support a reversal of globalization as a solution to the problem another sixteen percent take the radical and controversial view that all religions should be banned outright a minority want more security forces and thirteen percent are sadly pessimistic saying there is simply no way to solve the problem. now let's focus on what's been going on in the city of. with the high profile global policy forum jaroslav all finished this city is now partying the night away as it marks a millennium since it was founded a thousand years of history being celebrated in just one night with a spectacular fireworks show providing a fitting finale artie's academy to groucho of a wash from one of the best vantage points. in this. studio. we can celebrate. this night and it still made you think thousand

people have gathered tell us around the granite in this city one of the. millions and rocks that is all i know you nasco a nice quote heritage site and it has also come down in history as the plane's last . two days. had been a man international policy forum when this it was done. president that it had a chance to tell him on domestic and. excited in this. well the city. based city has been observing this and going more on this here's the summary my summary of this today about a scene in which a young what you are in effect over and democracy as it turns out is different things to different it was the title for many years slavic stand at some time ocracy and efficiency made it sound

a little rain even for the crimea to talk. gave some of them the chance to hit the president. said let's and i strongly disagree with those who say there's no democracy in russia and that there's authoritarian tendencies here it's not true that russia is a democracy beyond any doubt it's young it's immature it's still not perfect and experience but it's a democracy nonetheless there's a way to go but we're ready to work on it in some countries democracy is being imposed but it doesn't work that way city and we've seen many examples of that but then you talk of democracy in russia is a moot point the country doesn't want in my eyes it's the key message the president in his speech another major topic was security for the some russians being voting and new missions but you were a peon security architecture. that it says is vital to launching military conflicts similar to that in the south caucasus in two thousand and one that what we need to

create an institution that will bring together nato and non nato members and other structures where u.s. counterpart president barack obama never avoids discussing this issue he does not say that is harmful or unnecessary but i would suggest that among our american partners a certain jealousy exists with regard to this idea however it is necessary to rise over this josee and try to look the truth in the eye without the creation of the system the world will not be able to survive we can help each other here is one of the first posts of course of the idea of the new european security treaty most italian premier corny but. or he could make his point he have to find his words. i like to see that i was not very well informed about the topics to be discussed at this forum the section of my administration which has prepared the speech has prepared the room that's why i'm passing this text to the moderator of this portion of the plenary meeting this presentation doesn't correspond to the discussions here many that evening criticize the us corny for taking more stage time than the host

but mitchum it that it didn't seem to mind these helen prime minister for example definitely spies but of course if you are among such of them over to the right that you will for two days this stadium turned into a lib or a tree where some of the world's best minds attempted to find a formula balancing three elements democracy modernization and efficiency did they come up with a single formula of course they didn't but what they agreed upon is no matter what the proportion if a country wants to move forward it needs all three elements in the mix if the democrats are to from. give us back our privacy that's the rallying cry from civil liberties liberty campaigners who've been demonstrating across europe against what they see as a big brother approach to surveillance they claim they can't trust the governments that monitor their lives r.t.c.

or god has been following the largest of the protests in berlin. well you know if you did some freedom not fear the participants of mass rallies in berlin and throughout europe all over the political spectrum but their demands are the same give us back our privacy. i am afraid that somebody. does the wrong things. and spied. on the stockholm program implemented last year european countries will have to import almost all key data about their citizens and central database information will be fingerprints financial records and even personal data. interpol will also be able to use the latest satellite surveillance technology to trace any citizens anywhere in the european union gradually lose control. and

this. is handed over to them send out amazes me and you won't be asked in the future what you want to do and you can decide yourself but other people will decide to have access to the starter basis. as an urban sociologist but the german government suspected he was a terrorist he was followed his phones are tapped and his family's e-mails read he was even arrested before being released without charge any time you call someone the policeman voice saying and she's been meaning to say this and that drives you crazy completely and if you don't know whether there is tapping going on when you're in the bathroom or in your bedroom and you have this feeling there's always somebody there they're just really really terrible but the government insists these measures are necessary to fight increasingly tech savvy terrorists and criminals it claims it has no desire to snoop on those who have not broken. have accused the

protesters of gesture politics i was with us. the parties that are demonstrating you know the ones who implemented these laws when in power this is something we do just to show they are the opposition the demonstrators only response from the authorities to petition calling for an end to all existing central employment education and travel databases they also want to freeze on the new ones they brought that's as much not yet what they want to die but knowledge and nonsense. to get things going to a little bit governor be able to imagine. you going to. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe tear gas and warning fire couldn't stop thousands of protesters clashing with government forces in india in kashmir the predominantly muslim legion has seen an anti india sentiment strengthened over the past three months with near daily demonstrations as miri muslims are currently celebrating the end of the holy month of ramadan at

least sixty nine people have been killed in protest against india's control. a man has been arrested in greece after throwing a shoe with the prime minister george papandreou in protest at the government's handling of the economy the arrest of man believed to be the doctor was freed after the prime minister declined to press charges more than four thousand police were on duty as around twenty thousand demonstrators took to the streets protests have followed papandrea announcement of lower business taxes to try and spark economic recovery. turkey will head to the polls on sunday to vote in a referendum the government claims will strengthen democracy the reforms will bring the constitution brought in after the nine hundred eighty two military coup more in line with european standards it could boost the country's application membership but critics claim the changes will give the government too much control over judicial appointments and to help promote islam. coming up our interview with
