course calling their family as they were trying to find out what has happened we've talked with some locals and one guy said his wife called him just a couple of minutes after the explosion he could only understand she was crying please do not come to the market there was a bomb here and she was one of their lucky ones i was coming now grandmother was killed along with one of her grandchildren my daughter in law went to the market and i still don't know if she is alive she hasn't called me i'm so sorry to lose them i was at home my house is on the street nearby so i heard it i don't know what happened i came here in the told me that everyone died the people who had the fruit stand here the woman who sold greens they have all been killed. my friend works here is a jeweler they survived because they entered a shop across the street from the bomb and soon right before the explosion his mother happened to be standing behind

a pillar when the bomb went off she survived the room it was turned into a doorway and this is what we pulled out of the legs. i didn't hear much we were sitting there talking and then we heard some debris fall on the ground that was it we came outside and saw dead bodies on the ground i didn't look at the time i think it was around eleven i told you i was in the pavilion i don't know anything else i told you everything it's all i see this car that was packed at the lower entrance off the market and if you can just look over there. there you would see that investigators are still there they're trying to see what's was inside the car the whole area is blocked and the moment the people who are still there they are the ones who want to find out more details they had of necessity air came to the scene and he said the blast was a good eyes and was carried out by a suicide bomb or a criminal case has been launched and the investigators qualify that last as an act

of terror to morrow in logic of cross is declared a day of mourning and. investigators say there's been significant progress in the search for those behind the bombing after three people were detained now it's got the latest details from our correspondents are standing by live so what do you know more about the latest developments well the criminal investigation is underway and suddenly just in the last couple of hours we've seen a marked progress where the investigation's committee saying they knew who did it and also was to find another place to make sleep is for the head of russia's federal security service who has confirmed that we suspect that now being detained now he's also used that he doesn't think it will be to go before this investigation is a result of a very to bring those responsible for the time to just not immediately the explosion happened president and met with security minister and also on the

emergency with the new of the five all in the third floor to anyone who was affected by the explosion and he also held a moment silent a minute earlier in the kremlin to honor those who died in the time. it was because i would first of all like to say to all the people of north to say that we are mourning the victims innocent victims if this terrible tragedy people with the people of north. first priority is to give medical help to those who are injured in front of can go anywhere it's needed and to offer moral and financial support to victims and their families so now the case is under the control of russia's general prosecutor and his officers but earlier we heard they've been able to establish the owner of the car that carried the explosives and they also knew that the number plates were registered they bring in this sets now there are

unconfirmed reports that the owner of that car has not sleeping for. rested in this big question and claims that he. was actually sold just yesterday. also you know the preliminary investigation that the scene where the explosion happened that the. explosion was such off by a suicide bomber and there are also claims now that that person was that he stopped half an hour before the explosions happened as they were driving into the republic and they were actually asked to provide documents on the days of potentially they provided fake documents and now we know here the government pledged thirty thousand dollars in compensation that they seized to the families of those who died in the attack and also around ten thousand patients who would be injured and the time you've heard five minutes to say. to divide the multifold so multi-religious not

yet little people here in russia. is a multi-faith country it is diverse and that is the reason that strong muslims reside all across russia crimes like the ones that were committed today invited have cause aimed at promoting enmity between people we cannot allow doubt and of course muslims must play the decisive role in the struggle. well now any vehicles. being very closely monitored. the way that the tight security. been significantly that. we understand of the capitol has pledged medical help for those who suffered in the attack tell us more about that is the emergencies ministry's. today with medical equipment and medical stuff. back in both. go with around twenty people have you been. in to now we know that only twenty is

a little. having very serious injuries to the whole. against the. they couldn't be. sorry for fun top of the story for us here in moscow thanks for that report. the u.s. state department saying militants operating in the north caucasus have ties to al qaida that's according to the counterterrorism coordinator at the department shared by political analysts to me about it she says north has often been a target for islamic militants with al qaeda links. the author said their house 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 a said to a russian girl recently in north caucasus because i said yes the only ethnic group in the north caucasus besides russians which is predominately also the christian explosion so the market especially invited tough guys were very very often used in

the past i would remind you of that vial of the war stir a step back in the ninety s. was also an explosion at the market in logic of gas 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 a very often about that page in the wall so here are stories that some way in afghanistan where people were taken prisoner or some terrorist camp was destroyed people from north caucasus were also present there unfortunately. and a leading out of law says today's attack is not an isolated incident but instead part of a concerted campaign of terror in the north caucasus that's the view of sergei from the russian academy of sciences. i think you should use these tragic events have an ominous frequency it's not the first time a blast has occurred at the same so we may suggest it's hardly an accident but rather a trend a sudden organization of islamic fanatics is behind it with

a system move it soon in a plan to break any organized such attacks. just to remind you of our breaking news story at least seventeen people have been killed in a car bombing at a market in the southern russian city of logic a suicide bomber is believed to have carried out the attack that also injured more than one hundred three suspects have since been detained and it's not the first time markets in the capital of russia as of all the republic of north the safety had been targeted by terrorists and deadliest attack happened in the central market of lot of nine hundred ninety nine claimed fifty two wives and more than one hundred injured. a year later a car bombing in the same market killed six terror a turn for the next two years but in different places each time with the same deadly outcome another thirteen people lost their lives and in november of two thousand and eight and many bus exploded in a market square outside a cinema killing twelve and injuring forty one. stay with us here on r t will be

keeping you updated on the terror attacks throughout the day but we'll shift our focus now to the russian city of jaroslav all for our continuing coverage of the global policy forum there. some of the best minds from around the world i've gathered in this old russian city for a two day brainstorming session and the city is located around two hundred fifty kilometers northeast of moscow in a city that proudly boast unesco world heritage status its marking its thousand year anniversary of this weekend jaroslav is hosting an event that's trying to end sort of some of the hardest questions facing us in the future how to keep the world safe what makes democracy work and how to modernize what's already in existence those are just some of the issues on the table our teaser catarina groucho has more from the event. it's a relatively new it's a relatively young for amateur has turned two years this time and it takes place in the u.s. level again but some claim that the forum has only the chances to reach the davos

forum level russia is the host i'll be any. economic forum but so far it hasn't had a sword of political equivalent to that so some claim that the poor could eventually become the equivalent now so many common challenges economic environmental also political and it's very clear about countries like russia with a long cultural intellectual tradition have a lot to offer in terms of trying to understand the problems and trying to find common solutions i certainly see a lot of potential because i think the case of bubbles makes very clear that international economic and financial debate can be extremely influential gravel started off as a small initiative and has grown into a global fixture and i think of as the same potential if the focus is on the great i think it's important that we move away from just the criticizing each other or lecturing each other or simply talking across purposes and really try and find a common mode and i think debate exchange critical questions and constructive contribution to is what's needed and i think the former is just wrong in that

direction and i look very much forward to seeing how that would unfold the next two days all this years forums twelve. criteria the standards of democracy there are people. to experts coming from more than thirty countries here in the russian city of. there are four major sections of discussions want to go to to this state as an instrument of modernization diversified democracy experiences of different countries this is the second section that one is about. the concept of international law and finally global security so indeed the program is very intense one could not describe today's discussions as one one of ways. interaction it was indeed it it was very heated at times you could say was a very enthusiastic marathon for example it's widely believed that there is there are no adjectives before the word democracy but it turns out to be

a hearing us lobby among the participants there was no consensus about this and we heard so many adjectives before the word democracy and another important another major question was race what comes first to democratization or economic diversification. and indeed there is no conclusive answer about this and modernization and democratization is something the russian president has been has spoken out about in very concrete terms taken that has been that democracies a process not just. global security is going to be one of the major topics during the hour a softball forum or the event r.t. you spoke with economic historian robert skidelsky 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 the european security system and not be outside.

because the european actually european military is very very weak the key to military power in europe the french and the british the rest have and do anything really but this small and there's no unity. sort of no agreement to create something larger and russia has a has it 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 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 be include russia and we should we should take him up on that and really see what we can do with it because all through russia is

part of europe it shouldn't be outside it. you can find the full version of this interview coming your way in the next hour here on r.t. the founding director of the asia society in australia richard walcott says the european security initiative could be a step towards better global security. and centrism did you introduce just say. need for business regional security arrangements and. the atlantic city detention junaid june two thousand and eight and again the first time in the squadron she is known for prime minister kevin rudd he will say. launch this idea of the need for an asia pacific community and security issues in june two thousand and eight so this is i think it's important to particularly

both these concepts move forward and then you can run some pretty in the region and the global security that's a good thing because. well more live coverage from the global policy forum on friday as soon as the second day of discussion starts. when the new season of. when it's something really crucial when you want to get down to. special coverage. this time the latest news from the global policy forum line broadcasts special guests discussions on the stakes in providing security and stability of the present day world. question will. turn now to some other news here on our team the pilots who managed to land a crippled russian airliner are back in moscow haul eighty one people aboard miraculously survived after

a midair failure of major electrical systems artie's tom barton reports. the pilots an engineer just returned her suv 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 monday 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. the heroes of the taiga these the men the managed to land a crippled jetliner in the middle of the forest and not injure a soul the passengers a thankful to be in line we see them now most willingly every street and ended up

in the woods in the agency crews arrived to find two weeks everything was organized very fast this time the fleet 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 to claim lost all automatic navigation and communication its fuel supply and wing flaps were crippled meaning i had to learn 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. by plane was designed to land on a concrete airstrip and at first we chose a restaurant in decided to land there but during the maneuver by miracle we caught a glimpse of a concrete strip and all the shorter it would be much safer when we overshot the strip there were bushes but no trees and at that point we knew for sure that we're

going to be safe despite overshooting and plowing through. two hundred metres of woodland before stopping all eighty one people on board were evacuated to safety rather mirrored skin is a former pilot and actually trained the heroes in question he says he's very proud of his form across a james bone up in the clothes they couldn't even tell their how to chewed 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 as for 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 w one fifty four is not quite the brand your craft and i'm sure that the craft was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago the way you would more. i believe there is a chance that the gui point was just a war of. our russell airlines which owns the plane says it wasn't aware of any

issues before takeoff but added it would never fly again 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 tamasin r.t. possible. serbia's dropping a challenge to kosovo's independence at united nations belgrade's removed a section of a un resolution that called kosovo kosovo secession unacceptable european officials proclaimed it would be a useful compromise offer diana johnston however says it has a different how or us or other data johnston has a different name for it. present tax that i have seen and i have here is not

really a compromise i would call it an unconditional surrender to the european union but this was not a compromise because from what i've understood the european union did not in exchange for this they gave nothing as usual and they'll just be asking for more as they have been for many years serbia is now really very much in the position of france underpaid it's not quite an occupied country but it's surrounded and it's sort of occupied and any leader or policy party which would really openly take into consideration serbia's interests is condemned by the western media as nationalists look what they heard look what happened to go it's live question it's which the united city use it or 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. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe investigators in the philippines say police could be responsible for some of the deaths during a botched hostage rescue a tourist from hong kong were killed after this crazed former police men hijacked their bus in the nolo two weeks ago ballistics tests dispute police claims that all the deaths were the result of close range fire a hearing into the hijacking concludes today. north korea's markets sixty second anniversary as details of a conference tip to name leader kim jong il successor remain shrouded in mystery thousand celebrated founding day by placing flowers of the base of a statue of the founding leader kim kim il sung yang is littered with posters announcing the workers' party meeting with the exact details are unknown it's expected that kim's youngest son will be appointed to a key party position preparing him for succession. hundreds of afghans have

a tall bill read them because over the. that song was something like two dozen 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 the 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 the people from now or into 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 basis we must. look on the direction and make of more business and we need to be

independent in kind of the station do 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 in okinawa now that there are security measures and programs in place in asian countries we want the u.s. to reduce their bases. aside from noise pollution and space concerns one of the arguments against us 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 are 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 with us and if crimes do happen the japanese security cannot deal with them directly they must go through the us military base command then you

have to simply trust them it becomes very difficult the u.s. military declined an interview with r.t. but did give us this statement where i was a small group of people in okinawa vocalized that they are not happy with the bases many people there and on mainland japan fully support u.s. forces in okinawa and to japan the realize the vital rule of the play 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 actions japan's military in case of 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. bisset you.
