to similar incidents are said to have happened in the state of tennessee and it follows a threat by a florida pastor at a burning islamic holy book on the nine eleven 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 nearby muslim american activist dino de ramadan says that since nine eleven islam has been misconstrued in the u.s. . really with 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 villains 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 caucuses and the nine eleven anniversary have heated up debate on whether it's possible to stop international terrorism and how of course we're interested in your opinion on the topics we cover and you can have our say your say at our web site r t dot com we're asking what's the best way to eradicate international terrorist networks so far the majority of voters think ensuring high living standards for all may be the solution twenty seven percent support a reversal of globalization if such a thing is possible another fifteen percent of viewers are quite radical as they're simply in favor of banning all religions and getting rid of fanatics altogether thirteen percent or more pessimistic saying there's just no way to prevent the problem and a minority want more security forces are to log on and cast your vote. i gather and some of the finest minds from around the world has put the russian city of jaroslava firmly on the map this week it played host to the global policy forum

1:15 pm
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 . that what we need to create an institution that will bring together nato and non nato members and other structures my 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 a 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
1:16 pm
corny but before he could make his point he had to find his words i like to see that i was not very well informed about the topics to be discussed at this this forum. section of my ministration interest 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 of that evening criticize that it was corny for taking more stage time than the host but mitchum it that it didn't seem to mind these helen prime minister films definitely spies stuff but it 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 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
1:17 pm
democrats are t. from. although a new european security framework will take years of discussion reform in the current structure is vital according to new york university professor craig. 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. professor craig allen from new york university there speaking at the global policy forum.

faulty plane fearless pilots there was a miraculous escape this week for a packed russian passenger jet when it crash landed in the middle of a forest in the country's northwest all eighty 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 the managed to land a crippled jetliner in the middle of the forest and not injure a soul that passengers thankful to be in line we see even a little so willingly envious streets and ended up in the woods emergency crews arrived to find two week everything was organized to me the constant list of the fleet week was not for the professionalism of the crew we would not be standing here with 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 plane lost all to mattick navigation and communication
1:19 pm
its fuel supply and wing flaps were crippled meaning i had to learn quickly and it fired the normal speeds even the lights in the cabin and cockpit when town by site to load the pilots found an abandoned their strip in the depths of the forest and managed to land. good attempt dozens not that was our 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 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 he couldn't even tell others how to cheat or where they were he only had enough fuel for ten minutes of flight and managing to land that plane he practically did the impossible task of the plane
1:20 pm
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 i do believe what fifty four is not quite the brand you have to craft and i'm sure that that graph was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago way with more. i believe there is a chance that they could we plant was just more of. a 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 there chief. 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 coverage in resourcefulness of the two men who brought it safely to thomasin r.t.

1:22 pm
grenades in the cars of iraqis at checkpoints and then filming the driver's reactions this was all supposed to be a prank but as artie's paul asli reports for most iraqis it's not a laughing matter. manning a checkpoint all day must get boring which is perhaps why sergeant dunson and his partner admit they toss the time playing jokes on unsuspecting drivers in the posting dunson describes how they planted a grenade into recommence calm a few seconds of confusion all's explained and that took place but very would be to drive is st on his way. you know because. our our it was just one of those things were you know it happened. on a guy like up 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.
1:23 pm
we're used to par bombs as you know uses the searches 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 can often mean the difference between life and death it's not uncommon for head to head your heart takes at least a dozen times a day if you had to be the way that what you will see the city of britain they will be arrested on the soft and hard for terrorism. and some american military personnel are not seeing the funny side of sergeant dunstan's 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 in trusting their confidence and 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
1:24 pm
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 and. we're not making fun of the iraqi forces they're very brave in fighting terror but we wanted to present them and then you can define wait a minute we also want to present weapons as 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 two americans getting in on the act and with people still being killed in iraq if we day it was a constant reminder that terrorism is no laughing matter. back to. this week serbia decided not to challenge kosovo as you know a lot of old declaration of independence at the united nations under pressure from european union belgrade finally agreed to withdraw its initial draft resolution
1:25 pm
which had called on the secession of kosovo to be denounced by consensus resolution was unanimously adopted by the un general assembly although belgrade does not recognize kosovo's independence as a legitimate to hold direct talks with kosovo as on all our 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 kosovo stance political writer diana john strand this is serbia has serbia has caved into the e.u. . into the 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 was not a compromise because from what i've understood the european union did not. in exchange for this they gave nothing if you should and i would just be asking for more than a year as soon as you know really very much in the position of france.
1:26 pm
it's not quite an occupied country but it's through rounded and sort of occupying and any leader or polish party which would really openly take into consideration serbia is interest is condemned by the western media as nationalists look what they have look we have a desire to do it with the united states to use in order to get rid of milosevic but when he showed that he was still interested in his country's welfare he's known brand as an extreme nationalist and sidelined. still ahead this hour dangerous and on the run the famous russian martial artist who became an ultra nationalist criminal in an asylum but managed to escape.
