terror act and people behind the scores of dead and injured called in them thugs and saying they're not those to negotiate with with rather those who have to be found and punished as soon as possible. but. i would first of all like to say to all the people of north assess here that we're mourning the victims innocent victims of this terrible tragedy russia's people with the people of north asensio this terror act is another case of criminal activity of the thugs with whom we cannot compromise or reconcile our first priority is to give medical help to those who are injured and brought a kind of cast mosco or else where it's needed and so for moral and financial support to victims and their family. promised of ludmer putin has also harshly condemned the terror act and be hind these incidents saying the n. main goal of these people easter spread panic among multi-national multi-religious

and multi-language population of the russian federation. has given them russia is a multi-faith country it is diverse and that is the reason its strong muslims reside all across russia crimes like the ones that were committed today in bloody kavkaz are aimed at promoting entity between people we cannot allow that and of course muslims must play the decisive role in the struggle. shortly after the tragedy happened the russian government has said that the families of those who died in the terror act will receive thirty thousand dollars in compensation each while those seriously injured in this catastrophe will also get ten thousand dollars in compensation each as well now and you then the suffering from the worst injuries are soon expected to land at the airport from where you are reporting what's the latest on that. indeed i'm now standing at the romans came military airport outside moscow and indeed we expect very soon that

a special plane of the russian minister emergencies to land here this is that very plane which was sent from mosco to political cost in the republic of north a set in the russia's invasion south to specially to advocate those seriously injured and those most hurt in a powerful bomb in there that had killed at least sixteen people and injured nineteen least ninety others as far as the ministry is now reporting the plane is now carrying eleven people and all of them are in very serious condition so that the doctor has been saying that the their lives are very much in danger the flight is expected to take about two hours it will be easy for all of these people as at least five of them have been through don't risk courageous some of them have been great to so there are those people who need very special treatment that's why they have been transported now to the russian capital but the doctors sane and there

sure enough that special equipment on board will allow these people to feel safe as well be interest caught here to mosco and as you can see already here in most cases and many many doctors over the ministry of emergencies and ambulances are waiting for them so they will be transported to the hospitals of the russian capital immediately after they will land here back to you all right r.t. or if an ocean is joining us live from outside moscow thanks for that report. the u.s. state department says that militants operating in the north caucasus have ties to al qaeda the counterterrorism coordinator at the state department also said the united states is willing to help russia in its fight with terror in the region for more on this i'm joined live by. washington c n n a it seems that the u.s. acknowledges that it is fighting the same enemy as russia but it's taken them a long time to come forward and state this hasn't. yeah this time rush and the us

seem to be on the same page the u.s. state department said the terrorist attack in vladikavkaz as you mentioned is part of international terrorism and those who are responsible for it are international terrorists and they have connections to al qaida they also said it's a common goal for russia and the u.s. to work together to fight those terrorist groups but washer and the u.s. had in always been on the same page like that for years russia tormented by a number of horrible attacks had been saying it's a common danger of these guys are international terrorists and we need help to find them to fight them but a while ago the common understanding of the common wisdom among many in the west was that those attacks are just part of separatist movements in russian caucuses and russia kept saying those terrorists are getting funding from abroad and a number of them were trained abroad but internationally it had been treated like some sort of a domestic fight against insurgents while it now things seem to be changing the

u.s. has acknowledged that groups operating in russia have for international ties a few months ago shortly after deadly suicide bombings in the moscow metro the u.s. state department included the person who claimed responsibility for the attacks its name. it into its list of most wanted terrorists and that was probably the first time that they did sort of think forty people died then in that attack or modify also claimed responsibility for the attack on on the train traveling from same piece of work to moscow that was in november of last year while the russian security services would give a lot to have this man behind bars and now they seem to have some help from the united states in that in that fight right artie's got it for us in washington thanks for that report. politico political analyst dmitri babich says north has often been a target for as long as militants with links to international terror groups. say

there has been a terrorist attacks for a long time i would like to remind you of that. when he was alive told malta said russian good recent close because. the only ethnic group in the north caucasus besides russia which is predominantly also the explosion so the market especially invited us about a very very often used in the past i would remind you that evolved over the last terrorist attacks in the ninety s. was also an explosion at the market the logic of cos. they used 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 well from the cage and that you also hear stories that some way in afghanistan. people. reason the. camp was destroyed people from north caucasus were also present their own fortunes and we'll keep you up to date on the latest in the investigation into

this terror attack but now we're going to shift our focus to the russian city of jaroslav all for our coverage of the global policy forum there. some of the best and brightest minds from around the world have gathered in this ancient russian city for a two day brainstorming session and the city is located about two hundred fifty kilometers northeast of moscow in a city that proudly boasts unesco world heritage status its marking its thousand year anniversary this weekend is hosting an event that's trying to answer some of the toughest questions facing mankind how to keep the world safe what makes a democracy work and how to modernize the institutions already in existence these are just some of the issues on the table as our teams are going to grouch over the reports. 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 of the annual economic forum but so far it hasn't had us who are the 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 that 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 the international economic and financial debate can be extremely influential babel 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 about what i'm for the next two days on this year's forums twelve. criteria. standards of democracy there are people. the 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 the 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 does 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 year islam 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 democratization or economic diversification. and indeed there is no conclusive answer about peace and modernization and democratization is something the russian president has been has spoken out about in very concrete terms he's taken that has been that democracies a process it's not just. global security is going to be one of the major topics during the forum ahead of the event you spoke with economic historian robert skidelsky he says that should consider russia's proposal for a new european security treaty. russia should be much more effective part of the european security system and not be outside because the european actually european

military is very very weak the two military power is in your french and the british the rest have to do anything really but they're small and there's no unity. just sort of agreement to create something larger and russia has a has it has has 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 the war but to be part of the prompter insurgency 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 we'll walk we can do with it because russia is part of europe

it shouldn't be outside it. you can watch the full version of that interview in an hour's time here on our t.v. well we'll have more live coverage from the global policy forum on friday as soon as the second day of discussions begins. when. we need something. to get. the latest from the. line. on the stakes in providing security and stability of the present day world. questionable. turning to the rest of today's top stories of the pilots who managed to land a crippled russian airliner are back in moscow all eighty one people aboard miraculously

survived after a midair failure of major electrical systems artie's tom barton has the details. the pilot's engineer just returned to his suv new cover airport in moscow will now go and talk to some psychologists for some deep breaths 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 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. 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

a line we see the most willingly every street and ended up in the woods emergency crews arrived to find two week 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 plane 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 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 be rich can is a former pilot and actually trained the heroes in question he says he's very proud of his form across a j s. up in the clothes he couldn't even tell others how to cheat 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 task of 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 do believe what fifty four is not what the brand you have a craft and i'm sure that the craft was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago where you would more. i believe there is a chance that the we plant was just war are. now 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 achieved. 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 courage and resourcefulness of the two men who brought it safely to tamasin party must. serve me as dropping a challenge to kosovo's independence i think united nations belgrade has removed the section of a un resolution that called kosovo's the session unacceptable european officials proclaimed it to be a useful compromise offer down a johnston however has a different name for it. the 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 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 i'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 interest is condemned by the western media as nationalists look what they had a look what happened to go it's live question it's which the united city use had already 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. taking

a look now at 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 eight tourists from hong kong were killed after a disgraced former policeman hijacked their bus in manila two weeks ago so the stakes testing disputes the police claims that all the deaths were the result of close range fire hearing into the hijacking concludes today. in north korea marks its sixty second anniversary as details of a conference to to name a leader kim jong il successor remains shrouded in mystery thousand celebrated funding founding day by placing flowers at the base of a statue of founding leader kim il sung canyoning is littered with posters announcing the workers' party meeting though the exact details are unknown it's expected that kim jong il's youngest son will be appointed to a key party position paving the way for his eventual succession. hundreds of afghans have demonstrated against plans by an american pastor to burn the koran on

the anniversary of the september eleventh attacks protesters set alight flags and chanted death to america there's been widespread anger from many muslim countries u.s. president barack obama has called on the reverend terry jones to cancel the day saying the act would be a recruitment bonanza for al qaeda the florida events been criticized by political leaders worldwide. finally this news block the u.s. navy has delayed its plans to move more than eight thousand marines from their military base on the japanese island of okinawa the american presence there is a bone of contention with locals after a number of high profile incidents as artie's john thomas reports. 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 people but sometimes we have a trouble with them because of the. song. next to doesn't

for. america. there was a huge problem. around eighteen percent of okinawa's main island is occupied by u.s. military forces here we can hear the noise of their airplanes which interrupt the city's sense and there are have been maybe some accidents or crimes not only with 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 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 about change this. 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 us 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 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 and 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 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 and 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. well the situation in asia has calmed there are no conflicts here any conflicts that exists or in western iraq and not here but the.
