from moscow this is all now let's get straight to that breaking news story fifteen people killed by a marketplace couple in the southern russian city all of us over eighty others were injured in an attack and investigators are treating terrorism it's been reported the explosion was a quick forty kilos of. police say another bomb has been found at the gates of the market and the area has been evacuated russia's emergency ministry is sending a plane with a medical. correspondent. from the bridge. council explosion rocked the central market in logic of cost or appalling has been plundered in the car park it is one of the entrance gate to entrance gate to use its market so it will want a car workbox this market is one of the famous pointed finger seating and it was packed with people we talked to some locals and i think we will first thing first if you watch and then people started calling friends and family to find out what

happened everybody was shocked the whole. lot and it's really shocking seeing all global health minister it's sad but at least sixteen people were killed and the number of injured is more than anything you know the whole island well the flies police the medics are taken into accusing hospitals women are reports as bombs containing forty kilos of t.n.t. and are they hadn't also secured who was that being sad that the loss was carried out by five former i wouldn't and also say that explosion was so powerful it's maxed out the windows and then houses nearby the criminal case has been launched and investigated qualify the blast as an act of terror without a question that's just me telling me dad just told it to religion please and tell me to provide. the necessary aid to the injured and the final result that we can

still get compensation from this. is all so far that will keep you happy. are the folks on i looked over reporting for us thank you well the phone connection and a lot of tough cost is very bad at the moment as a result of the attack we did manage to get through to one local resident she told us she's used to living in fear a foreigner. the streets have been cordoned off i live in the sea two center who heard the blast but couldn't tell where it came from or who learned from our neighbors that there had been an explosion at the market naturally i did not let my child go to school i heard that there might be a second glass this is often the case we are living in the tinderbox people are being evacuated from the building and they cannot enter it i don't know what to wait on me and i cannot reach anyone their connection is poor it's impossible to down a single number i cannot even get through to my own home and basically the situation is very difficult it's impossible to get used to it but we have to live with it now

for more on this blast we're joined by matthew clemons terrorism expert with jane's defense group live in london well there's speculation linking the militants behind this blast to al qaida do you do you think that's the kind of pretty early on though. i think it's very difficult to say that it is actually very little evidence that just so. far militants do operate within of course insurgents and there are likely to be sources of foreign funding the fact that al qaeda itself is now largely decentralized and sort of very difficult to pin down group it actually makes it very misleading to suggest that al qaeda itself is somehow behind this. now obviously this is where the very early stages of this investigation but i can you speculate you think this is an isolated the talk against russia are all part of a wider global terrorist movement. well the north caucasus insurgents and not in the caucasus emirate is very much a localized millett militant operation the targets are almost entirely based within

the north caucasus itself and obviously against russian government although this does include sort of larger attacks such as the moscow metro metro bombings so although the leadership of the group has previously stated that the west is its enemy the fact is is undertaking very little or there's very little evidence to suggest it would even be able to undertake any sort of attacks against the west whether it's very much de localized and the russian government operation now there are some analysts that say that the recent there's been a recent power struggle between radical militant groups in the caucasus do you think the situation there has changed by any. well it is still early days obviously the challenge by some of the leaders within chechnya itself towards document of who is the overall leader of the caucasus emirate did suggest days some sort of split in the group however the fact that the group itself is largely decentralized and most of the parts of it operate in a sort of localized decentralized way means that effects do seem to be very minimal and indeed these sort of large scale attacks have been undertaken in recent weeks

including the attack on the army base in dagestan just a few days ago suggests that the operations of the group have been affected at the moment at least fired by the clements a terrorism expert from jane's defense group in london thank you. well russia's prime minister has condemned the terrorist attack and given his condolences to the relatives of those killed talking to the head of russia's muslim community of limited putin said that he hopes muslims will contribute to the fight against extremism. thank you very much for your words of condolence and your brave position i know how many muslim clerics have suffered a terrorist hands for openly stating that they were against terrorism and extremism russia is a multi-faith country it is diverse and that is the reason its strong muslims reside all across russia would regions that are considered traditionally muslim are home to only half of russia's muslims or a little over the over forty percent of russia's muslims live in other areas of the country crimes like the ones that were committed today in cars aimed at promoting

enmity between people we cannot allow and of course muslims must play the decisive role in the struggle i thank you for expressing your position well meanwhile police are tightening security after the explosion in a russia's south we cannot cross live to our correspondent. in the capital sara what's been the response from. security point of view in moscow. well the investigations committee are calling this a terror attack and a criminal investigation has now been launched into the incident. president medvedev has met with security officials and we know that the case will now be falling under the control of chief prosecutor now as well as the head of the investigation committee will be traveling. to assist the police and investigators. ministry. plane with medical equipment. to assist the local hospitals

that are treating the injured now taking off and on its way. now. security in the way it's time. for us thank you well political analyst dimitri babich believes the people behind this kind of violence have links to al qaeda and he says the problems in the caucuses are deep rooted. well north us said their house has been a bargain for terrorist attacks for a long time i would like to remind you of that. when he was a wife called north a said to russian girl recently in north caucasus because i say down south 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 this attack probably explosions at the market especially in

light of tough customer very very often used in the past i would remind you of that volume of the war stir wrist attacks in the ninety s. it was also an explosion at the market in logic of chaos basically the terrorist keep reminding a sage of their presence and unfortunately also safety as bomb of their primary targets for terrorists certainly if they use alarmist 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. ok the people were taken prisoner or some terrorist camp was destroyed people from north caucasus were also present there unfortunately. andre miller thousand of the ria novosti news agency says the terrorists want to discredit the current political leaders in the caucasus region and they have vengeance in mind. up with i think

terrorists want to take revenge for the beslan school siege during this year's commemoration events the security forces were on high alert so no terrorist attacks were carried out here now security measures have been slightly weakened the terrorists attack people you know i'm almost sure that extremists are behind this blast here with probably with foreign support but of course we can't say for sure which organization is behind the attack the terrorists which blew up the court just want to destabilize the situation in the north caucasus and discredit the current leaders in the area they want to show that the states of thirty's are feeling to provide stability in the region it is now ten minutes past the hour here in moscow you are with r t let's check out some other news making headlines around the world and prosecutors are investigating the crash landing of a crippled a russian airliner in the northwest of the country eighty one people on board had a regular after electrical systems on the plane failed it was forced to touch down on an abandoned forest landing strip and ran into trees. as this story. the

pilots engineer have just returned heads of 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 that tickle 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. mirek elice that's what experts and passengers a calling the crash landing of this plane in the russian taiga without anyone injured most even the most willingly ever in history and ended up in the woods emergency crews arrived to find two week everything was organized very fast this

time last week it was 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 never brought 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 craft 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 our. lines which owns the plane says it wasn't aware of any issues with it someone a professional to investigation committees 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 after seventy two passengers only two 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 in order to the pilots helping investigators to examine the scene before following the passengers back to the capital in a few days but whatever the technical courses there already calls for them to receive medals for bravery and skill the airline that owns the aircraft our roster airlines 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 aero pilots is really just beginning. the u.s. navy has delayed the release of its plans to move more than eight thousand marines from a military base on 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 that they be moved. to the bases damaging the environment and pushing the crime right up sean thomas 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 because you don't. know what 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 the airplanes which interrupt the citizens and they're all have also been maybe some accidents or crimes not only be displaced but

with a lot of other bases but. as we know it's also. they also helped me and all the people from up to now a war ended basis 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 bases we must. look on the direction and to make more business and we need to be independent intending to station do you need to market represents okinawa in japan's house of representatives and is looking to bring about change. it has been sixty years since world war two seventy percent of u.s. bases in japan are now. i know that there are security measures and programs in place in asian countries we want the u.s. to reduce their bases themes 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 attached to the base can't be tried under japanese law now most of the crimes about ninety percent involve drinking and driving or traffic related but there are a few high profile crimes which include rape and murder which have put a strain on japanese u.s. relations see them without us a huge crimes do happen the japanese security cannot deal with them directly they must go through the u.s. military base command and then you have to simply trust them and it becomes very difficult for the u.s. military declined an interview with r.t. but did give us this statement. whereas 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 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 old policies that just aren't needed anymore. the situation in egypt has calmed there are no conflicts here any conflicts that exist or in western iraq and not here the people in okinawa think that the strategic value of these bases has diminished but 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. we'll be leaving okinawa any time soon sean thomas r t okinawa japan. the u.k. your special envoy to afghanistan who has been an outspoken critic of military

policy that has stepped down from his position as speculation the. coles was forced out because of his views on the conflict he's a lawyer and has following the story for us in london. he had clashed with u.s. 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 close and have relationships 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 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 so 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 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. now

we can cross back to the russian city or your and our continuing coverage of the global policy for. yes thank you ori well hello and welcome then from yes i'm kevin now in here with my colleague and you sir now i for the next two days were sent to bring you full coverage of the global policy forum from this various storage city well some of the world's best minds are here with world leaders economists and academics among them in fact former nato chief george robertson has already told the conference of the importance of better links between russia and europe forum said to be dealing with issues such as boosting global security and improving standards of democracy that of representatives hear from twenty nine countries and it's being supported by the russian president dmitri medvedev well this city of your of travel is about two hundred fifty kilometers northeast of moscow and is on the list of you know asco

heritage sites this weekend the city marks its thousand year anniversary and we'll be following the celebrations here on r.t. you could say the city is a good example of how far globalization house come and now this global forum has come here. well. well here of course over the next three days as we've been talking about this gorgeous city right on the volga yes absolutely beautiful place so we can just see over our shoulder a rather splendid monastery there that was the center of the of the old what was built eight hundred years ago it is an absolutely stunning backdrop to the events that are happening here now with our correspondent. over in the forum which is taking place just in the center of the place over our shoulder in the center of the city she's out. along with a lot of our other correspondents getting a lot of feedback and a lot of coverage of what's actually being talked about there isn't she that's

right she can now give us some ideas of what's going to come over the next few days as for. but indeed. the truth is out of global security is going to be one of the major topics discussed tell us a little bit more about. kevin is you and you say have been telling our viewers there's a lot on the agenda for the world policy forum here and you know despite the fact that it's a relatively young platform a very new platform it's only the second time that policymaker. on the list have all gathered here to discuss issues relevant to the international community many of them many of those who would manage to speak to you are very optimistic about the prospects that this forum could bring to the international community even liken it to this summit in konami or i'm saying that it started out as a very similar type of gathering and of course we went to one of the biggest economic

policy related forums that exists in the world today so any. arguments that i think we may have lost our communication. if you can hear us having a few problems at the moment but thanks for bringing us up to date as best you could we'll get a truck through a bit later but we of course the pleasures of live television well global security of course is at the top of this gender here at this summit and we had a chance to speak to robert skidelsky was a british economics 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 be outside. because the european actually european military is very very weak the. military

is in europe but french and the british the rest have to do anything really but this small. and there's no unity. no agreement to create something with russia has a has a. good military forces and they're becoming increasingly modernize and specialized for 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 and president medvedev has suggested a new security. that would be 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.

a lot more. global policy forum here in the city of the next two days just a snapshot of what's in store. when the news is. when something really crucial. to get down to. special coverage. this time the latest news from the. policy for line. special guests discussions on the modern state in providing security and stability of the present day world. wealthy british style. is not on.
