reeling from the deadliest terror attack on its capital in a decade a car bomb exploded the central market of lot of cars thursday morning killing seventeen and injuring more than one hundred sixty artie's axon at least much over reports on how people there are still coming to terms with what happened. 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 cause it was an sos day when a suicide bomber drove his silver car to its entrance gates he was said to become during a routine check of the car but reluctant to open the trunk but a security guard aslan big player insisted. he put the key in the trunk turned it maybe once or twice the key broken his hands iceland big had the man turned 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. a little went to the market that day with his entire family it said he was quarreling with his brother bought riding their 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 heart 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 legs and hands and this is the one. 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 no slight. to the market and the brooch in the entrance 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 lived there so people covered by blonde and they ran right to way i was afraid of a second blast. too scared for the last hope to get to be born son to t.n. i didn't notice that she herself was injured and it was not the piece of metal in

her knee that was on her mind. it was afraid that nothing was moving inside me then up to some time with his talented movie when i was little related. to one taken care of and baby sleeping beside her that jenna now was occupied but it became a name for the little one as with logic of cause itself she still needs some time to get back to normal life this penetrating logic of causes far deeper than this shell hole left by the deadly car blast as days parts people slowly start mending their lives for sun like the tiana in newborn baby it could be a bridge to a new life but for many this horrible attack will be engraved on their hearts forever acts on that you are see them like us the bombing in north or south here was followed by a string of successful anti terror operations in the caucasus region in the most reason one at least eight militants have been killed in another volatile russian republic dagestan the gunmen were beseeched in the house and the republicans

capitol. they refused to surrender and opened fire on the police the operation is reportedly ongoing the number of militants involved might be higher earlier on the sun. the head of the north caucasus special investigative department was killed in the city. many experts say militants in the north caucasus are part of an international terror network political scientist dr waleed says the bombing in north is no different from other suicide bombings and you where in the world this attack suicide attack in the northern caucuses is not just a local attack by a local terrorist we've seen this before it has a history at taxed by the hardest movement linked to al qaida worldwide inside russia in dagestan in chechnya in this part of the caucasus as we see around the world whatever you have suicide bombers you see also that threat against international democracy and freedom. perspective there from political scientist dr

walid far is. well this weekend marks nine years since the deadliest terror attack in history almost three thousand people were killed on september eleventh in new york two thousand and one and a mistrust of islam has spread among many in the u.s. since but despite that tens of thousands americans decided to become muslims after the tragedy artie's preassure went to find out why. 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 to live here my mother she was crying a lot fought that i was returning her by changing my religion back track 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 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 that 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 cards despite that twenty thousand americans every year decide to convert to islam these converts say they don't regret their decision at all around the world since nine eleven and muslims have battled bands of their religious clothing profiling in airports and discrimination in their everyday lives

. 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 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 up going around and see what was written you know that was my only impression of islam

is 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 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. growing entire muslim sentiment has come to the fore on the anniversary of the september eleventh attacks a man set fire to pages of the koran near ground zero two similar incidents are said to have happened in the state of tennessee and this follows a threat by a florida pastor to burn as long as holy book on that i love anniversary although that was later called off there were also fresh protests against plans to build a mosque close to the site of the tragedy while supporters of the project also traveled nearby muslim american activist regina o'day ramadan says that since nine

eleven islam has been misconstrued in the u.s. . 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 we're signing collective guilt on the one billion muslims on the acts of nineteen dillon'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 inaccurate but i think the great majority here islam because they don't understand it. this week's terror attack in russia's north caucasus and the nine eleven anniversary have heated up the debate on whether it's actually possible to halt the spread of international terrorism and how of course war is interested in your opinion on the topics we cover and you can have your say by logging on to our web site r.t.

dot com raskin what's the best way to eradicate international terror networks so far the majority of voters think ensuring high living standards for all may be a solution twenty seven percent support or reversal of possible globalization another fifteen percent of viewers are quite radical if they're simply in favor of banning all religions and getting rid of fanatics altogether thirteen percent are more pessimistic saying there is no way to prevent the problem in the minority want more security forces. dot com is the place to. and cast your vote. switching gears now a gathering of some of the finest minds from around the world has put the russian city of jaroslav all firmly on the map this week and played host the go ball policy horrible brainstorming session bringing together statesmen and strategists investors and innovators archy's a catarina groucho if it was following has the details. young which you are in fact see if solver and democracy as it turns out is different things to different states

that cycle these years for many years slavic stand at some democracy and efficiency made it sound a little rain even for the kremlin is tough and. it gave some of them the chance to hit the president we're all going to have. to go to each ski cyclists 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 video we've seen many examples of that last minute 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 . the what we need to create an institution that will bring together nato and non nato members and other structures where us 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 our 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 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 michonne it that it didn't seem to mind helen prime minister before wednesday a more definite despise what was a formal session of them over to the uk for two days this study and 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 officials 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 exceeding the virtue of r t from. although a new european security framework will take years of discussion reforming the current structure is vital according to professor craig calhoun from new york university. 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 in commentary from professor craig calhoun with new york university speaking at the global policy forum. turning out the rest of the week's news here on our team a faulty plane but fearless pilots there was a miraculous escape this week for a packed russian passenger jet when it crash landed the middle of a forest in the country's northwest all a one people aboard survived after

a midair electrical failure artie's tom barton has the story. the heroes of the tiger these are the men that managed to land a crippled jetliner in the middle of the forest and not injure a soul that passenger is thankful to be in line and we see it you know because we're learning and it is streets and ended up in the woods and there just the crews arrived to find two week everything was organized to me the constant was to just leave people if you looked for the professionalism of the crew we would not be standing here. that you can have one flying full was flying at ten thousand meters on its way to moscow from russia's far east when there was a massive electrical failure to claim lost all to mount it navigation and communication its fuel supply. wing flaps were crippled meeting i had to run quickly and at higher than normal speeds even the lights in the cabin and cockpit when tapped by sight a lot of the pilots found an abandoned their strip in the depths of the forest and

managed to land on the third attempt the plane was designed to land on a concrete airstrip at first we chose a restaurant in 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 going to get them. 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 the jays. 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 in managing to land that plane he practically did the impossible task of 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 tupolev one fifty four is not quite the

brand your aircraft and i'm sure that that car was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago when you win the more. i believe there is a chance that the gui point was just a warning of. how russell airlines which owns the plane says it wasn't aware of any issues before takeoff but added it would never fly together investigators are focusing on mechanical failure rather than pilot error or weather conditions but everyone is expecting the playlets to receive medals they're achieved. in time the technical details of this plane's malfunction will join all of the others maybe nation history but one thing will always stand out courage and resourcefulness of the two men who brought it safely to thomasin ozzy osbourne you can find more on that amazing a skate at other stories we're covering on our website our team dot com here's a taste of what's online right now. the true cost of luxury see how searching for

one of the world's most precious foods black caviar are pushing the sturgeon species to the brink of extinction. plus russian inventors have found a way to prevent drivers from falling asleep at the wheel find out what it is and how it works out. dot com. now the news this week a former u.s. soldier found himself at the center of a scandal after posting a controversial video on you tube sergeant leo done soon was discharged after planting grenades in the cars of iraqis at checkpoints and then filming the reaction of the driver this was all supposed to be a prank about his artie's policy reports most iraqis fail to see the funny side. manning

a checkpoint all day musket or wing which is perhaps why sergeant dunson and his partner admit they pass the time and playing jokes on unsuspecting drivers in the posting dunson describes how they planted a grenade in a new recommends calm a few seconds of confusion all's explained and that perplexed but very would be to triumph it is saint on his way. you know because. 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 part them so experiences the search is happening every day but if someone did this to me i would be so scared. as would most people in a country where a checkpoint often the difference between life and death it's not uncommon good to

have your heart take at least a dozen times a day if you're found to have either way that what you will see will see a grenade you'll be arrested on the soft and hard to terrorism. and some american military personnel are not seeing the funny side of sergeant dunn says antics i would not tolerate that and my organization. i don't think that's conducive to gaining. you know into the partnership with with the federal police or certainly and trusting their confidence and us or the people for that matter and trusting the . trusting in the federal police but i want to a local t.v. stations you know picked up on the idea. that it takes well known local celebrities to iraqi checkpoints and plays pranks on them in much the same way as dunson and his colleagues produce and not by a says it's

a way to lighten the situation. in libya we're not making fun of the iraqi forces they're very brave and fight and we wanted to preserve them and then you can defend wait on that we also want to present weapons is something people can laugh about even if. there's mixed reaction to the iraqi shows but still iraqis making fun of iraqis. different according to most people here to american skits on the act and with people still being killed in iraq if we date there is a constant for mind that terrorism is no laughing matter. r.t. back to. this week serbia decided not to challenge kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence at the united nations under pressure from the european union belgrade finally agreed to withdraw its initial draft resolution which had called on the secession of kosovo to be denounced a consensus resolution was unanimously adopted by the un general assembly although belgrade does not recognize kosovo's independence as legitimate and agreed to hold

direct talks with costars on resolve matters this concession followed a push from the e.u. making it clear that serbia's wish to join the union would be jeopardized if it failed to soften its stance on kosovo political writer diana johnstone calls the un resolution and unconditional surrender by serbia to the independence. present text that i have seen and i have here is not really a compromise i would call it an unconditional surrender to the european union this is not a compromise because from what i understood the european union did not. think that if they gave nothing if you don't have. you. know really very much in the position of france. it's quite an occupied country but it's surrounded and it's sort of occupied and. leader or

polish the party which would really openly take into consideration serbia's interests is condemned by the western media as nationalists look like they have to have a desire to do with the united states to use it or to get rid of most of it but when he showed he was still interested in his country's welfare he's been branded as an extreme nationalists and sidelined. stay with us throughout the day here on r t lots more coming your way in the next hour potential plane to fame the untold story of how authorities two russian village might have been the true birthplace of north korean leader kim jong il. russian police are hunting for a martial arts fighter who is a skate from a psychiatric ward in st petersburg they suspect that duchess vyacheslav dot sake may be on the run in moscow before being placed in an asylum he was disqualified
