12:07 am

12:09 am
special coverage. this time the latest news from the. policy for line broadcasts special guests discussions on the stage in providing security and stability of the present day world. question. well global security is going to be one of the major topics during. the head of the event he spoke to robert jacob alexander now he's a british economic historian he says the e.u. should consider russia's proposal for a new european security treaty. russia should become much more effective part of the european security system and not the outside because the european actually european military is very very weak the military
12:10 am
in europe the french and the british the rest have to do anything really but this small and there's no unity. no agreement to create something larger and russia has a has a has has good military forces and they're becoming increasingly modernized and specialized to the kind of work. that military forces have to do today which isn't a huge war but the counterinsurgency operations peacekeeping operations and so on so russia could be a great asset for european security system and president medvedev has suggested a new security. that would include russia and we should that we should take him up on that and really see what we can do with it because after all russia is part of europe it shouldn't be outside it.
12:11 am
you can watch the full interview with robert alexander in about twenty minutes from here. prosecutors are investigating the crash landing of a crippled russian airliner in the northwest of the country eighty one people on board had a mirror. electrical systems on the plane failed it ran into trees in siberia . mirek elice that's what experts and passengers are calling the crash landing of this plane in the russian tiger without anyone injured was. will any ever in history and ended up in the roots the majesty crews arrived divide to wait everything was organized very fast. if not for the professionalism of the crew we would not be standing here. the tupolev one five
12:12 am
four was 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. of course it's not being used for what it was intended because it's a helicopter airdrome the ground was too hard and without any runway markings but you have to be a monster to land the plane like this what is most important is the insurance and ability and professionalism of the whole crew if the whole crew listens to their pilot and he really acts with responsibility for the whole plane this is the main thing this means it's a professional crew the proof is that no one was injured on board the plane the
12:13 am
runway was too small for the plane and it overshot plowing through two hundred meters of trees before stopping but despite the danger all eighty one people on board were evacuated to safety. investigators now pondering what caused such a massive electrical failure providing that to police what fifty four is not quite the brand your aircraft and i'm sure that that craft was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago when you know with more. i believe there is a chance that they could we plant was just more of our. lines which owns the plane says it wasn't aware of any issues with it so when a professional investigation committee is working out the site to find out what really happened before the flight the plane was functioning normally get it on the go on planned technical maintenance and preflight checks has a seventy two passengers any two people and married couple refused to continue their journey by plane they went by train there was no real panic when the plane landed there was slight nervousness because there were emergency slides and
12:14 am
everyone was anxious to leave the plane as soon as possible but the stewards did everything well and the evacuation was done in a normal manner and. the pilots are helping investigators to examine the scene before following the passengers back to the capitol in a few days but whatever the technical courses there already calls for them to receive medals for bravery and skill with the passengers now back in moscow everyone's awaiting the return of the two pilots and when they do come back it will be to a hero's welcome tamasin r.t. moscow. the u.s. wants relations with russia that are strong enough to benefit global security that's what hillary clinton told the council on foreign relations in washington the secretary of state says it's vital that past differences are politicized. we took office it was a mid cooling to cold relations and
12:15 am
a return to cold war suspicion now this may have invigorated spy novelist's and armchair strategists but anyone serious about solving global problems such as nuclear proliferation knew that without russia and the united states working together little would be achieved so we refocused the relationship. we offered a relationship based on not only mutual respect but also mutual responsibility and in the course of the last eighteen months we have a historic new arms reduction treaty which the senate will take up next week. cooperation with china in the u.n. security council on tough new sanctions against both iran and north korea a transit agreement to support our efforts in afghanistan a new bilateral presidential commission and civil society exchange that are forging closer people to people ties and of course as we were reminded this past summer the
12:16 am
spy novel is still have plenty to write about so it's kind of win a win. the u.s. navy has delayed the release of its plans to move the whole fils marines from the military base on the japanese island of okinawa and lay is likely to set locals who are highly critical. have repeatedly requested they been moved into say the marines had damaging the environment pushing the crime right up to shore told us went to okinawa to investigate. since the end of world war two the united states has had a military presence in japan which some people living in okinawa are finding a nuisance i don't hate them people but sometimes we have a trouble with them because of the. song something extra doesn't for. america. you know there was
12:17 am
a huge problem. around eighteen percent of okinawa's main island is occupied by u.s. military forces here a week we can hear the noise of their airplanes which interrupt the citizens and there are have been maybe some accidents or crimes not only displaced but with their bases but. as we know it's also. they also helped me and the people from india bases or depend on the basis leading some to believe that in order to provide a more stable future there needs to be less reliance on the basis we must. look on the direction and to make us more business and we need to be independent in kind in the in the economic situation do you need to market represents okinawa in japan's house of representatives and is looking to bring
12:18 am
about change. it has been sixty years since world war two seventy percent of us. bases in japan are in okinawa know that there are security measures and programs in place in asian countries we want the us to reduce their bases games aside from noise pollution and space concerns that one of the arguments against u.s. military bases on okinawa is a crime according to the treaty american citizens attach to the base can't be tried under japanese law now most of the crimes about ninety percent involve drinking and driving or are traffic related but there are a few high profile crimes which include rape and murder which have put a strain on japanese us relations see them with us crimes do happen the japanese security cannot deal with them directly they must go through the u.s. military base command then you have to simply trust them it becomes very difficult . the u.s. military declined an interview with r.t.
12:19 am
but did give us this statement. whereas a small group of people in okinawa vocalized they're not happy with the bases many people there and on mainland japan fully support u.s. forces in okinawa and to japan they realize the vital role they play in the defense of japan and for regional stability and security but getting the u.s. out isn't as easy as a vote by the people japan's surrender at the end of the war limits the country to having only a security defense force as part of the treaty the united states officially acts as japan's military in case a conflict should arise that affects the country but now there is a small but vocal movement suggesting that it is time to review all policies that just aren't needed anymore. the situation in asia has calmed there are no conflicts here any conflicts that exist or in western asia and not here the people in okinawa think that the strategic value of these bases as the minister for the us. but with
12:20 am
china growing stronger as a geo political force in the region and the instability of north korea still a concern it is likely that the united states won't be leaving okinawa any time soon john thomas r.t. okinawa japan. because special envoy to afghanistan who has been an outspoken critic of military policy there has stepped down from his position. speculation that. coles was forestalled because of his views on the conflict or to. following the story for us in london. he had us and nato officials his line has always been that there is no military solution to the problems that we're seeing in afghanistan and the only way forward is to open some sort of dialogue a closer relationship with the taliban and the military solution just isn't viable he also. in june two thousand and ten he took an extended leave of absence from his
12:21 am
post and already a couple of months ago it seems unlikely that he would return possibly a slightly less clear cut issue is whether he jumped or was pushed he was quite influential with david miliband who was the former foreign secretary before this new government came in four months ago but the moment the new government was appointed the new foreign secretary william hague put his position under review the question certainly is did his skepticism about u.s. foreign policy in the region mean that he had to go and his job was to coordinate strategy with the u.s. and with other countries that had troops that have troops in the region which is obviously a diplomatic position and diplomacy doesn't seem to be something that he either had much of or didn't didn't want to use this in this case and there's certainly a suggestion that he got into so many disputes with so many different people that
12:22 am
they rendered his position really untenable now the interesting thing is that the foreign office in the u.k. says that the position of special representative is no longer necessary and that bearing in mind that the u.k. will no longer now have a full time special representative dealing with afghan afghanistan and pakistan that's a region that the new government itself has identified as a key foreign policy priority so that is an interesting point. president barack obama says rebuilding america since the structure is the way to get the country out of the economic doldrums during a speech in ohio he defended his opposition to extending tax cuts for rich americans book so his efforts have done little to prevent unemployment rising to almost ten percent went to director of trans research institute says the bonus plans have been linked weight from the beginning. this was just a campaign speech i watched it closely people should really understand what's going
12:23 am
on when was his last speech and where was it oh it happened to be in ohio one of those wings it was just filled with the rhetoric his plans are light weighted and i want to show you the really the crux of what was going on here some of the things that he said in the past and what he just said now today he says not everything we did worked as quickly as we hoped how about everything you did failed to get better very easily first of all beginning in washington state why these lawmakers are making too many laws they don't have to be on the job as much we could also start taxing the other people that aren't paying taxes like all these religious organizations would something to sell and pretending to give a lot getting a free ride let them pay they have their share and all these non-profits and all
12:24 am
these other loophole organizations that are taking a free ride yeah and then he said you know he's going to tax the rich yes why two hundred fifty thousand dollars a year income if the united states today doesn't make you're rich if you're going to tax the tax the profits tax the gates tax the rockefeller's tax the balti billionaires and give the rest of the people a break. this is from. some of the stories making headlines around the world. portuguese tourists were killed when the bus overturned in northern morocco bad weather is believed to have caused the accident that left another fourteen injured no receiving treatment in local hospitals the country's authorities have offered to pay medical and we. b.p. has published a report into the gulf of mexico oil spill after
12:25 am
a five month long investigation it points out a chain of failures by the company itself and several contractors that's the reason behind america's worst environmental disaster the company says it accepts all the recommendations in the report and will implement them old wise but some of the contractors have already hit back the report self-serving and inaccurate. hundreds of people took to the streets of los angeles to protest against the shooting of a immigrant by a police officer through. to the local police station officers responded with rubber bullets more than twenty demonstrators were arrested about three hundred people blocked a nearby intersection is part of the protests. and to remind you for the next two days we will be bringing you full live coverage from the global policy forum here in the russian city of yugoslavia we'll be talking to experts scientists and politicians every hour and of course we'll bring you all the other news updates from russia across the world but will it's time to join you with
