carried out by a suicide call more also eyewitnesses say that the explosion was so powerful that it smashed all the windows into houses nearby a criminal case has been launched and they investigated qualifies that law as an act of terrorism also i'm not very good order to all emergencies and house minutes needed to provide all the injured with the necessary aid and of course we will keep you updated with the latest information as soon as we get it. thank you for that show well let's discuss the latest developments with political analyst amy tripp bobbit i missed a moment thank you for joining us the security presence in the caucasus region has been increased to provide stability is this attack another recent violence to think ok so the terrorists responding to that. well north said there has been a bargain for terrorist attacks for

a long time i would like to remind you of that charge when he was a wife called north i said to a russian girl recently in north caucasus because i say again saw the only ethnic group in the north caucasus besides russians which is predominantly also the christian. so i would not say that there is anything particularly new about they said that. bloody golf course and it's my gets especially a very often victim soft terrorist attacks some experts there are saying that the militants are changing their tactics is that the case do you think no explosions car would leak spores inside the market especially invited tough customer very very often used in the past i would remind you that of all of the war stir a step back in the ninety s. was also an explosion at the market in logic of chaos. now the whole forum is concentrated on international security this is

a good example of the challenge facing those politicians who. are well i think so. as you probably know the president already year. called the meeting had a meeting with the security ministers talking about this terrorist attack the president already gave his orders on investigating the case from preventing. further bloodshed so hopefully their security forces will be vigilant based time and they will prevent further blasts from typing in at least in the next few days. now of course recently we've been marking the day against terrorism across russia and in the best school attacks do you think any of this is connected beslan is also in north. and north president they were asked monsoreau. he was. of the parents whose children were locked up in the best school children of are not killed by they also suffered terribly during that terrible terrorist attack on beslan

school so basically the terrorist keep reminding us of their presence. unfortunately and also say their primary targets for terrorists this speculation that this kind of attack could be linked to al qaida would you agree with that. it's very difficult for me to say anything now especially. after the boston certainly. terrorist in north caucasus had connections to al qaeda they didn't make a secret out of it the western press doesn't report that very often the bought back asian that you also hear stories that some way in afghanistan. people were taken prisoner or some camp was destroyed people from north caucasus were also present them fortunately ok. thank you for joining us live here on our team.

in the nearby republic of dagestan a powerful bomb has been defused at a hydroelectric plant it follows an awesome attack at a facility that's being blamed on militants the bomb was placed under sixteen ton oil tank kind of cause devastation if it had gone off a special rowboats was used to defuse the remote control device he saw searching for a worker who disappeared as a fire broke out at a station on tuesday well security analyst on xander sort of on off says it's a sign the militants such changing their tactics. they have done it too of shill the inability of the authorities at present to provide security mainly in the region of north caucasus and the second you know that interest rupture is one of the key elements to modernization of the country which was announced by all presidents and this is a major threats to the people living near by those hydroelectric power stations so

festival the aim is to destabilize the atmosphere to the steel c.e.o. in the citizens in the advice of his threats and by possible men into success for peace the measure of security have to be mighty intensified not just in reports to the presidents to premier because you know that these attacks happened shortly after the triumphant revolt mr baltic of how the federal security service two presidents all the successes of the whole precious in the caucasus so i think this was part of the reaction to that was triumphant reports and of course that not just the federal authorities of the local authorities have to be more vigilant all the situation they have that happens and of course we'll keep you updated the latest details of that blast in office as we get it throughout the day now. and our continuing coverage of the global policy forum with bill and settle.

thank you kerry for the next two days will be bringing your full coverage of the global security four of which is being held here in a city of heroes statesmen and strategists of investors and innovators some of the world's best minds are all here grappling with issues such as boosting global security and improving standards of democracy there are representatives from twenty million countries and it's being supported by russian president dmitry medvedev. the city of us is about two hundred fifty kilometers northeast of moscow and is on the list of you must go heritage science this weekend to city marks its thousand and will be following this celebrations here on march eighteenth you could say that the city is an example of how far it has come and now this global forum has come here. to talk more about it's one of the top events in russia's political calendar

we're joined by correspondent catherine is out of. the scope of this event is really quite something isn't it can you give us an idea of some of the main aims and issues that will provide the focus for the forum here. bill as you and sophie have been telling our viewers this is of course a relatively young platform for such an event this is only the second year that the solving the world policy forum has been gathering politicians policymakers both foreign policy analysts and journalists to talk and to listen but many are already very optimistic saying that the forum has a lot of potential to develop into an integral part of the international community's decision making setting of course just like the forum that dabbles for example which started out as a similar arrangement and grew into one of the world's most watched and attended

forums devoted to decisions. made concerning economical things and of course this is what the organizers of the get us lobby for and hope for basically of course but the forum is mostly concerning itself with matters of global security not only nomic all our but also a little security innovation all technologies all of those things that can stab allies in economy and the entire international community and of course i dialogue is necessary and this is where it is being provided russia of course as many participants of this year's our forum here and get us another believe is a key and integrity player of that dialogue. russia. is a hugely important influence in europe and in the world there's a raid to be held and it has important things to see. it is

however too often misunderstood suspected and ignorantly written off that is the mystique so this global policy forum is a chance for russia and one of its most important and historic cities to showcase its positive role in the world and be unafraid to to free constructive praise and even criticism. the many many of course of the other speakers that we've managed to talk to not only mr robertson do agree on one thing the time has come for dialogue and it is important not only to talk but also to listen so that any kind of misunderstandings are force no longer an issue and this is precisely what this forum hopes to achieve will of course be monitoring all of the discussions that take place here and keep

our viewers updated. there was our correspondent that's if you know. global security is going to be one of the major topics. for him and i have a head of the event spoke to robert skidelsky who is a british economic historian he says the e.u. should consider russia's proposal for a new european security treaty. russia should be a much more effective part of a european security system and not be outside. because the european actually european military is very very weak the two military in europe the french and the british the rest have and do anything really but they're small and there's no unity. sort of agreement to create something larger and russia has a has a has has good military forces and they're becoming increasingly modernized and

specialized for the kind of work. that military forces have to do today which isn't a huge war but to be part of 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 concept that would include russia and we should 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. and you can watch the full interview with robots. in the next. see. more live coverage from the global policy forum here in the city in the next hour so do stay with us for that.

when something really crucial when you want to get down to. the special coverage. this time the latest news from the global policy forum line. special guests discussions on the modern state in providing security and stability in the present day world. question. let's look at some other news now prosecutors are investigating the crash landing of a crippled russian airliner in the northwest of the country all eighty one people on board had a miraculous escape after electrical systems on the plane failed it was forced to touch down an abandoned forest landing strip and ran into trees ortiz tom barton reports. the pilots and engineer have just returned to save new cover airport in moscow they'll now go and talk to some psychologists for some deep breathes and

counseling for any stress they may have undergone and what was a very tense landing they've also been helping investigators at the site trying to work out what happened and that's what investigators will be doing in the next week to ten days trying to get to the root of this search engine the actual failure they currently say in a preliminary statement that they think that three out of four of the plane's electrical generators failed but for the full story on this remarkable crash landing will go to my report. miracle us that's what experts and passengers are calling the crash landing of this plane in the russian tiger without anyone injured we see in the world will any ever in history and ended up in the roots the majesty crews arrived by two weeks everything was organized very fast asleep if not for the professionalism of the crew we would not be standing here. the tupolev one five 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 but the look 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 a 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. professional crew the proof is that no one was injured on board the plane the runway was too small for the plane and it overshot plowing through two

hundred metres 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 you have craft and i'm sure that that proper was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago when you are the more. i believe there is a chance that they we plant was just more power. 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 it on the ground planned technical maintenance and preflight checks has a seventy two passengers any cheer people a 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 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. the pilots are helping investigators to examine the scene before following the passengers back to the capital in a few days but whatever the technical courses it already calls for them to receive medals for bravery and skill the airline that owns the aircraft our alliance says that even if the plane is found to be functioning normally after they will never fly it again so although the plane story has come to an end the story of these hero pilots is really just beginning. the u.s. navy has delayed the release of its plans to move more than eight and a half thousand marines from their military base in the japanese island of okinawa the delay is likely to upset locals who are highly critical of the u.s. presence there and have repeatedly requested they be moved out and does say the base is damaging the environment and pushing the crime rate up sean thomas went on

an hour to investigate. since the end of world war two the united states has had a military presence in japan in which some people living in okinawa are finding a nuisance i don't hate people but sometimes we have a talk with them because they did a song. for. america. there was 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 be displaced but with other bases but. as we know it's also. they also help the economy and 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 make more business and we need to be independent intending to. do need to market represents okinawa in japan's house of representatives and is looking to bring about change this to. it has been sixty years since world war two seventy percent of u.s. bases in japan are in okinawa i know that there are security measures and programs in place in asian countries we want the u.s. to reduce their bases games aside from noise pollution and space concerns one of the arguments against u.s. military bases on okinawa is crime according to the treaty american citizens attached to the base can't be tried under japanese law now most of the crimes about ninety percent involve drinking and dry. having 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 and his 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 and it becomes very difficult. the u.s. military declined an interview with r.t. but did give us this statement. we are as a small group of people in okinawa vocalized that they are not happy with the bases many people there on mainland japan fully support u.s. forces in okinawa and to japan the realize the vital role the point and 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 old policies that just aren't needed anymore. the situation in asia has calmed there are no conflicts here in the conflicts that exist or in western iraq and not here the people in okinawa think that the strategic value of these bases has diminished for the u.s. . but with 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 anytime soon john thomas r.t. okinawa japan. back to our top story breaking news here on up to twelve people have been killed by a powerful car bomb attack in the central market on the southern russian city of that account has a terror attack more than eighty people injured they say another bomb has been

found that the gates of the market in the area has been evacuated the american says ministry is sending a plane with a medical help for the injured. well you know things that data space and if humans. the some are region is economically and socially one of russia's better developed provinces the region has a significant scientific and industrial capacity that will realize its full potential after the construction of the. park can tell ya he has completed the i t. park or has r. and d. projects in the spheres of automotive construction aerospace and oil chemistry high tech datacenter furbished with cutting edge servers and communication equipment will be constructed at the core of the park the project has been personally approved by prime minister vladimir putin the federal government is planning to allocate sizable funding for the parks construction investors will be given

countries have given up the pretense of economic recovery president obama this week called for another round of public spending to prevent a slide into depression but the debate is finally balanced with others in europe determined to cut spending and bring down deficits soon though the middle of reports. there at the bottom wants to go one hundred eighty billion dollars into the u.s. economy after a data suggesting the economy from house prices to jobs is shrinking again given his mood is at debating whether more spending will end a decade of contraction in the land of the rising sun the russians to face a choice for the next few years we seem free standing. we see a combination of private increase spending that we believe. i believe to be private capital will return to russia over the next twelve months in a meaningful manner secondly we do see increased spending from the government as well combination of two should be the base for we believe to be five to six percent

growth over the medium term the government plans to borrow more for the money this year but also spend their means of this to build zeeshan fund domestic morons already accounts for over sixty million dollars and russia will be ready to issue bonds in november according to finance ministry motion will we i'm so used to it's you know will be boring a lot in any case a deficit of three point six percent is anticipated next year we also focus the twenty twelve deficit will be three point one and two point nine for twenty thirty in the current situation this forced us to borrow and we will be spending from the reserve fund next year. the reserve funds have shrunk to a third of their former size one that runs own little gloss hole in the russian budget unless the government can pump up its moorings or one buyers for every inch of state gump and his legs around with presidential elections less than two years

away analysts say politicians we spending cuts off limits you know new to business school. and a look at the markets now in europe stocks are gaining of a sour voice bank shares are rallying more than three percent up to parker capital boosted its rating from underweight fifi shares of pouncing backs lifea after its shares were upgraded by trade chains investors reacted positively to the news pushing share price up by one percent. and in moscow the r.t.s. in the minus six are up this hour with all the major blue chips positive reading it again says telecoms up more than five percent and the shares are also outperforming gazprom and up about one percent. russia's credit rating outlook has been upgraded to positive from stable by features ratings the reasons for the boost accelerating growth a stabilizing banking industry and a flexible exchange rate policy from the central bank fitch said.
