have been marred by clashes over plans for a mosque near ground zero and the defacing of the muslim holy book. how to build a working democracy and make the world a safer place international power brokers tried to find the answers at the global policy forum. also playing with lawyers a video of a u.s. soldier grenades in the cause of iraqis is causing outrage and maybe claims that some locals die as a result of such. and a remarkable courage landing in northwestern russia as the plane touches down in a forest with eighty one passengers shocked but the pilots have been hailed as heroes.

broadcasting from the heart of moscow this is our team and it is also our weekly news and review. russia's southern republic of north is reeling after one of its deadliest terror attacks in years a car bomb that ripped through the central market in the capital. on thursday killed seventeen people and injured more than one hundred sixty. reports on how the city is trying to return to normal. cries louder than sirens but no fear just the time eleven twenty four on the watches of those who perished in the central market in logic of course it was a sow's day when a suicide bomber drove his silver car to its entrance gates he was said to be come during a routine check of the car but reluctant to open the trunk but a security guard muslim big player insisted. he put the key in the trunk turned it maybe once or twice the key broken his hand

a slim big head the man turned the car around and moved away from the crowded entrance a minute later a powerful explosion shook the area. heard the cries and rushed to the scene. i saw a lot of cars blown to pieces and a lot of bodies i had no real fear i just felt sorry for the people who died or got injured especially a young mother with a child i saw them just before the explosion a young girl was coming in with a kid a little kid as soon as she got inside the blasts happened. went to the market that day with his entire family it said he was quarreling with his brother bought riding the bike so his grandmother promised to buy him a new one but a moment later they were killed by the blast so. i went inside but they stayed at the entrance suddenly there was an explosion i lost one of my children and my mother my wife and another kid are in hospital there were many people there it was

scary. no we'll know and his grandmother yes i'm on lie side by side the government's closed the hearts of the survivors stricken by the loss. this is a father and his one and a half year old son who died and this is his wife she was injured. and this is the one time. candles commemorate the day in which he got because people here are mourning their loved ones and have been given blood to help the injured for tania who has arrived in the form of a new born son but before the birth she too had to leave through the tragedy. to the market and the brooch in the entrance of a powerful explosion went off my ears were down right away honestly i didn't understand it was a negative terror or anything like that and then i looked down and i saw people covered by blonde and they ran right away i was afraid of

a second blast. too scared for the last hope to get to be one son tiana didn't notice that she herself was injured and it was not the piece of metal in her knee that was on her mind. that was afraid there's nothing worth moving in. to some toys he started moving when i was afraid it home the one taken care of and baby sleeping beside her that jenna now is occupied will begin in the brutal one as with logic of cause itself she still needs some time to get back to normal life the soul penetrating logic of causes far deeper than this shell hole left by that deadly car blast as days parts people slowly start mending their lives for sun like that newborn baby it could be a bridge to life but for many this horrible attack will be engraved on their hearts forever. are cheap but what if that's. political analyst dmitri babich

explains why north and vladikavkaz in particularly has often been a target for islamic militants linked to al qaeda. said there has been a terrorist attacks for a long time i would like to remind you of that shot when he was a wife. said to russian good recent close because i said yeah the only ethnic group in the north caucasus besides russians which is predominantly also the explosion so the market especially invited tough customer very very often used in the past i would remind you that follow the rule was the risk that the acts in the ninety s. was also an explosion of the market in short in their usual obvious terrorist in north caucasus had connections to al qaeda they didn't make a secret out of it the western press doesn't report everybody all from the asian that you've also hear stories that sound way in afghanistan. to people they couldn't reason no camp was destroyed people from north caucasus were also present

there unfortunately. this year's a commemoration of the nine eleven victims has been marred by a series of incidents in the united states near the site of the terror attacks in new york a man said whitey bulger's of the qur'an he didn't plan it on his actions and was a split away from the area and by police later he can put it he said he was protecting freedom of speech to pastors in the state of tennessee also said to have said like copies of emotion holy book this comes after a florida clergyman threatened to burn the koran on the nine eleven anniversary but called off his plans after requests from officials. tension has also flared in new york over plans to build a mosque and islamic community center just blocks from the site of the world trade center around a thousand people gathered near ground zero to support the construction while several hundred demonstrators opposed to it nearby the project has sparked heated debate in the u.s. dividing the nation but despite the animosity thousands of americans make the choice to convert to islam each year

a teaser sridhar that some. little over. 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 right 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 are 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 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 carry identification card despite that twenty thousand americans every year decide to convert to islam convert say they don't work. at 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 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 opened my career on 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 war 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 and 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 a proper us your 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 saw our graduate a happiness that might not make sense to those around her. reassure either party annandale virginia. this week russia's yaroslavl made news around the world the city which is now a thousand years old brought together some of the finest minds for a global policy forum artie's your governor go to children was at the center of it all and gives us a firsthand account. young which you are in fact if solver and democracy as it turns out is different things to different states the title of these here is

for many us lobby standards 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. to get each he 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'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 friday and 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 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 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 that's why i'm passing the stacks to the moderator of this portion of the plenary meeting this presentation doesn't correspond to the

discussion 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 hellion prime minister performances definitely spies stuff but of course a formal session of them over there for two days this steady him 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 it's the democrat party from. russia's president has called on the u.s. to step up efforts to create new security institutions that could incorporate existing military and political structures professor craig calhoun from new york university says a new european security framework will take years of discussion but that reforming

the current structure is vital. i don't think that there has been a resolution about the proposal for the new european security security treaty but i do think that there is now a relationship of mutual respect between president medvedev and president obama and between the two countries and that includes the other european countries that would have to be partners to any sort of agreement so in my view the discussion has to continue possibly for years before there is a resolution the disaster would be if any country breaks off the discussion and refuses to keep this process moving forward because we do need to reach an agreement and a new framework. a former u.s. soldier who had served in iraq has found himself at the center of a scandal after posting a controversial video on you tube sergeant dunson was discharged after planting grenades in the cars of iraqis at checkpoints then filming the reaction of drivers as a prank but as artie's possibly a reports most iraqis saw nothing funny in his actions. manning

a checkpoint all day must get boring which is perhaps why sergeant dunson and his partner admit they passed the time playing jokes on unsuspecting drivers in this posting dunson describes how they planted a grenade in an iraqi man's car a few seconds of confusion always explained and the perplexed but very relieved driver is saint on his way. but we had a you know caught. our our it was just one of those things where you know it happened. on a guy like that on but for most iraqis this is not fun and life here is very far from being a joke. i think it's only for them to laugh for us it's not funny but very scary. we're used to par bombs so you know users research is happening every day but if someone did this to me i would be so is here. as would most people in a country where a checkpoint can often mean the difference between life and death it's not uncommon

to have your heart take at least a dozen times a day if you're found to have illegal weapons what you will see the city of britain they will be arrested on the spot and. terrorism. and some american military personnel are not seeing the funny side of sergeant dunces antics i would not tolerate that in my organization. i don't think that's conducive to gaining. you know into the partnership with with the federal police or certainly in trusting their confidence. or the people for that matter and trusting the. trusting in the federal police up to fight him out but that army has never been pranked himself but claims to have witnessed american soldiers displaying even more alarming behavior. and i personally know of many cases where soldiers would take a bet and for example hey it's an iraqi citizen just for fun there were cases where

people died from this so-called sun we had about one hundred fifty thousand american soldiers here and although some were professional there were many who were not. but i want to a local t.v. stations picked up on the idea. that it takes well known local celebrities to iraq each. points and plays pranks on them in much the same way as dunson athletes colleagues produce and not by a says it's a way to lighten the situation. we're not making fun of the iraqi forces they're very brave and frightened but we wanted to present them in a different way we also wanted to present weapons is something people can laugh about even if. there's mixed reaction to the iraqi show but still iraqis making fun of iraqis is very different according to most people here to americans get on the enemy act and with people still being killed in iraq every day there is

a constant reminder that terrorism is no laughing matter. r.t. back to. this week saw the signing of a major agreement between russia and israel al binding military cooperation for the next five years the plan was the result of talks between the two countries defense ministers in moscow it features experience and information exchange in national security military education and medicine one of the threats both countries are facing is terrorism and dr el economy and the international institute for counterterrorism in tel aviv says there's a lot that the two countries can learn from each other the fight. if you look interested they all of the world not only against using it against russia most of. them are storage and i would say if we speak about of their ideology and also the modus operandi the methods. and actions of this organisation of this movement they have a common traits and this is

a lot of experience on this side russia has all the kind of experience the exchange of experience the common training and the continuing cooperation can improve the abilities of the two sides and this. now this week saw a miraculous escape for a plane as it crash landed in the middle of a forest in the northwest of russia an investigation is looking into how the pilots managed to touch down on an abandoned landing strip and what really happened on board. the heroes of the tiger these are the men the managed to land a crippled jetliner in the middle of the forest and not injure a soul the passengers a thankful to be in line will see the bulls will any everything else treats and ended up in the woods emergency crews arrived to find two week everything was organized very fast this time the sleep was not for the professionalism of the crew we would not be standing here. the tupolev one five four always flying at ten

thousand meters on its way to moscow from russia's far east when there was a massive electrical failure the plane lost all automatic navigation and communication its fuel supply and wing flaps were crippled meaning i had to land quickly and at higher than normal speeds even the lights in the cabin and cockpit went out by sight alone the pilots found an abandoned their strip in the depths of the forest and managed to land on the third attempt dozens then i thought was my plane was designed to land on a concrete airstrip at first we chose a rough strip and decided to land there but during the maneuver by a miracle we caught a glimpse of a concrete strip and all the shorter it would be much safer despite overshooting and plowing through two hundred metres of woodland before stopping all eighty one people on board were evacuated to safety right in the ridge can is a former pilot and actually trained the heroes in question he says he's very proud of his form across a jays one up in the clothes they couldn't even tell their altitude or where they

were they only had enough fuel for ten minutes of flight and managing to land that plane he practically did the impossible as with the plane itself investigators are poring over interviews with the crew and witnesses black box recordings and evidence at the site that question what caused such a massive electrical failure providing that w one fifty four is not quite the brand you have to craft and i'm sure that that coffee was in effect. probably it was twenty years ago way with more. i believe there is a chance that the gui point was just war our. now russell airlines which owns the plane says it wasn't aware of any issues before takeoff but added it would never fly again investigators are focusing on mechanical failure rather than pilot error or weather conditions but everyone is expecting the playlets to receive medals their achievement. in time the technical details of this plane's malfunction will

join all of the others maybe ation history but one thing will always stand out courage and resourcefulness of the two men who brought it safely to earth tamasin r.t. possible. two years ago this week the us government pledged its financial support to the mortgage giants fannie mae and freddie mac. the companies are now seen as major contributors to america's national debt to find out whether people think the bailout was worth it lord harvest also known as the resident hit the streets of new york. it's been two years since mortgage finance giants fannie mae and freddie mac. received billions of dollars from the u.s. government they continue to report losses and receive money how do you feel about taxpayer dollars continuing to support them this week let's talk about bad they're white collar criminals. we shouldn't continue to give them money then probably no.

no what do we do. we help each other it's hard to say if they've helped. because it's hard to tell whether. what the result would have been if we didn't do anything at all so i think in terms of my business i think that some of the bailouts have been very successful for maintaining business in the in the role of the system so the velocity of cash in the economy but i think in the long run wolf will find out we have to keep the housing market going i think there is such a low keeping the housing market going if we didn't support them any more it would collapse you think either be a lot harder a lot more difficult and it might collapse i mean it's struggling hard enough as it is right now so why are people so against it do you think i think there's just a general anger against government and they're taking it out on anybody who they can take it out on some rich company that's ok they have the power capitalism and democracy sort of into this is they use or too much and too much power over the

democratic process is that ever going to change not in my lifetime. so far into this might as well give them money save everybody else does it matter that at this point it's aster anyway i mean you know where eighty billy. and the whole are ninety billion with made money on the deal so freddie and fannie try and get out of it as best as possible the bottom line is the u.s. government is probably going to continue to support fannie mae and freddie mac. whether we like it or not. russian police are hunting for a martial arts fighter who escaped from a psychiatric ward in st petersburg. became involved in a crime and joined an ultra nationalist movement after he was deemed too violent to remain in the ring the thirty three year old was jailed for assault robbery and threats before being placed in an asylum but now police suspect he may be on the loose in moscow. the six extreme aggression in the ring scared bass

his opponents and the public outside the ring murder threats assault robbery and an alleged psychotic break down sick placed in high security psychiatric care let's say but during that time he was able to establish links with an extremist political movement the now banned. for jews are enemies for me and now he's on the run after receiving a transfer to a new facility that sick was sent to the drought. psychiatric hospital just outside st petersburg those from hit his state they can say the area is sealed off and there's both wire around the premises of assessing not high security this time in psychiatric care with far from the strict rehabilitation that might be expected visits from friends and access to mobile phones enabled him to strengthen relations

with nationalist party members and he says. to gain follow. actively participated in campaigning for us he helped establish context. sportsman and with the organization to sporting events they entered us from of is head of the unit that monitored datsik he tells us that he was no longer considered high risk when he was transferred so what actually happened on the day that. he went out for a walk with nurse he took a whole lot of the washing line and used it to pull out the wire for our staff were cautious about just tore through the wall yes he just rips it are serious questions and now being raised as to how this is able to happen in the first place if there's a failing with the security issues here to enable him to have a skate most new special guards or any police security system and our hospital.
