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 the acts of nineteen millan's 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 then accurate 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 muslim american activist and nine eleven first responder regina o'day ramadan talking about 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 aid other militant groups around the world 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 complex multi-layered but certainly part of the process has now been a completely hijacked by is not missed radicals there are clearly connections between terrorist groups in afghanistan and pakistan and the attacks that have taken place both in nine eleven states as well as in other parts of the world including internal corpuses there are some clear signs that there are connections between elements in the north caucasus who are. doing get back

such as the one got a couple got thirty or this week and. the groups in pakistan and afghanistan. commentary from dennis samatha from the london information network on conflicts in state building for the victims of nine eleven are being remembered in many places across the globe including here in russia dozens have come to lay flowers at the u.s. embassy in moscow a service also was held at the american at an american church in the city who was there that the u.s. ambassador to russia compared naziism with terrorism and said that the two countries are united in their fight against it. over the years that we don't look at these seriously but come to understand something larger. as a memory of the victims of terrorism through. does our president alone that is expression to go and says to the recent terrorist that

a lot of. these terrorist acts only spring going to be slow. to work together. to stand against terror. to protect their people and. we're going to live. in the fight against the source. of evil in the twenty years. statement from john by early the u.s. ambassador to russia. meanwhile victims of a terror attack in a rush hour being laid to rest today a car bombing in the southern republic of north a thursday killed seventeen and left more than one hundred sixty injured seventeen of those with the most serious wounds are now being treated in moscow investigators meanwhile say they suspect several police men of negligence reports suggest the officers stopped the attackers car for an inspection shortly before the blast but they didn't check the trunk where the explosives are thought to have been hidden artie's x. on a leaf has more. of causes 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 have. in flowers lighting candles they are talking to each other they are remembering what has happened and they are also trying to find out what happened with the people they know today funerals of eleven victims are taken place in logic of course this is the second day your funerals here and several of the dead will be buried in georgia and ukraine through the whole night people have been praying in churches in logic of cars they were waiting candles i've met with the relatives of the victims and here is my report to lives hand in hand interrupted at the moment when yes i'm on my man and her toddler grandson who were children at the logic of car central market they say the boy was quarreling with his brother about writing a bike so grandma promised to buy a little new one a moment later their dreams were wiped out by the blast so i

thought we were the markets i went into a shop was my mother wife in tucson stayed outside and then an explosion i rushed out and saw all four of them on the ground i lost two of them my son who died was one and a half years old my three year old son is now in surgery doctors are fighting for his life there were a lot of people in the market stair fine. and yes i'm on met on most every morning before go into the market their day rafik i felt sick and stayed home yes and went alone just held 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 and hands and this is the woman who died. twenty years ago when life in georgia became difficult for ethnic as a reason like many in her village quiet and hospitable yes a man packed her things and had to vladikavkaz her small family makes their leaving from selling fruit and vegetables and

a year ago moved closer to the central market used to work closely to show other ones to the selling grapes another was selling lemons they were as a risk with them who hardly hurt but she was badly injured her leg was ripped off her chair diabetes 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 many remains why. these are barbarians monsters not humans these people have neither nationality nor humanity nor decency i think it was deliberately planned to bring this tragedy to the republic this is the sixth time something like this has happened they choose big holidays to cause racial hatred but they want to achieve it. grief and sorrow has united the people in logic of cause russians a citizens ukrainians and other is all bring flowers to the scene and tonight blunt to help the injured. the glass is cracking under the

feet of those who come to the gates of the central market ten years ago ackerson the out just choice interrupted only by those cleaning and repair 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 services reports that three people are detained more details emerging this is what we know that one of the security guards at the entrance gates of the central market didn't lead the car go through he was inspecting the car something seemed weird probably and the driver had to turn the vehicle and just moments later the car exploded this resulted in last people being injured during what he calls cars this is all information that we have so far the federal security services says that investigation is still going on . moving now to the other major story of the day what's happening in the city of jaroslav.

with a high profile global policy forum in jaroslav will finish the city is now partying the night away as it marks a millennium since its founding a thousand years of history being celebrated in just one night with a spectacular fireworks show providing a fitting finale or he's a cutter in about trouble watch from one of the best vantage points so crowded and the central square of the studio here is lobby which is celebrating its little laddie on this night and then assume it is six thousand people have gathered to watch the all the prime live in the city one of the. problems and russia this city is on a you not. a nice quote heritage side and it has also come down in history as a place was some of the world's global issues both just cost for two days you just love it you had been how you say man international the global policy forum where

some of the supporters and critics of president dmitry medvedev had a chance to tell him on domestic and international matters he cited in the side of the city. the city has been posting this podium and the more of these piers this summary my summary all these today but it's. what you are in effect chief solver and democracy as it turns out is different things to different states the title of these here is for many u.s. law stands it's a democracy and efficiency made it sound a little rain even for the kremlin toughest critics gave some of them the chance to hit the president. said listen 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. 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 video we've seen many examples of that but when you talk of democracy in russia is a moot point if the country doesn't more denies itself the key message the president was sending in his speech another major topic was security russia's been promoting a new vision for european security architecture the senate that it says is vital to avoiding military conflicts similar to that in the south caucasus in two thousand and eight. as the what we need to create an institution that will bring together nato and non nato members and other structures my 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 was italian premier corny but before he could make his point he had to find his words i like to say 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 warm that's why i am passing this tax to the moderator of this portion of the plenary meeting this presentation doesn't correspond to the discussion here many of that evening criticize the us corny for taking more stage time than the host but michel meant that it didn't seem to mind these helen prime minister performance am definitely aspies stuff but it was a formal session to them over to the school for two days this study and turned into a lab or a tree where some of the world's best minds attempted to find a. balancing three elements democracy modernization and efficiency did they come up

with a single formula of course they didn't but what degree did point is no matter what the proportion if a country wants to move forward it needs all three elements in the mix exceeding the r.t.e. from. give us back our privacy that's the rallying cry from civil libertarians who've been demonstrating across europe against what they see as a big brother approach to surveillance they claim they can trust governments that monitor their lives artie's eager ordinary has been following the biggest protest happening in berlin. 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. says that the wrong things.

under the stockholm program implemented last year european countries will have to import almost all key data about their citizens and and central database information would 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. databases 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 were 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 pulled me meaning to. and that drives me 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 disputing 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 broken and some have accused the protesters of gesture politics i was with us. the parties that are demonstrating are the ones who implemented these laws when in power the 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 to get what they want to die but knowledge and. get things into a little bit. from the. you go girl. taking a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe in the morning fire couldn't stop thousands of protesters clashing with government forces in indian administered kashmir the predominantly muslim legion has seen anti india sentiment strengthened over the past three months with near daily protests kashmiri muslims are currently celebrating the end of the holy month of ramadan sixty nine people have been killed in protest against india's. large protests organized by trade unions have been held before i keynote speech on the economy by greek prime minister george papandreou twenty thousand people took to the streets in thessaloniki over a new austerity program they were met by a force of more than four thousand police who used tear gas and clashes with the
