just arrived for treatment investigation over the tire acting. on the go we know they had a vicious apis be federal security service is currently in the republic to personally morning to the situation to the personally oversee the investigation and he's reported that three suspects have been detained so far although we are not given any detail exactly who are these people earlier the prosecutors have also knows that they've managed to find out either the call that exploded in the six year old with a gun. on thursday morning and they've also told us that it was registered and they were neighboring republic all inclusive it's another. place in russia's north caucasus russia's president dmitri medvedev has indeed condemned the tarragon calling people responsible for the spores of. stocks and he sighs that

those people annoying those whom we need to negotiate with but 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 to say 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 first priority is to give medical help to those who are injured in blood a kind of caste mosco or else where it's needed and so for moral and financial support to victims and their family. promised a lot more putin has also condemned the tire rack and people behind it saying their main goal is to spread panic among multi-religious multinational amounts of language population of russia. russia is a multi-faith country it is diverse and that is the reason it's strong muslims

reside all across russia crimes like the ones that were committed today and logic of cause are aimed at promoting empathy between people we cannot allow doubt and of course muslims must play the decisive role in the struggle russia's minister of britain says plane has landed in deeds here at the romans came in a tree apposed outside most it's brought eleven people from hope you can see the plane behind me right now and maybe you can see those injured coming out from the plane being transported to ambulances parked. here waiting for them to come from pick up cars we have been able to speak to the doctors who have been accompanying these eleven people from. here's what they say the majority of victims of superficial injuries many of those near the epicenter of the explosion were killed those seriously injured have been taken to hospitals there's a child in a coma suffering concussion and fragmentation wins he's been transported to children's hospital along with his mother. these eleven people of those hopin most

seriously injured most hurt following the terror act. and that those who really need very special treatment and that's why they've been transported here to the russian capital this is where they can really get it as far as a doctor is a saint all those people are in very serious condition and their lives are very much in danger at least five of them have been put on respirators some of them have been operating so their condition is rather difficult right now on this two hour long flight from costa mostly. hasn't been in these a toss all them but as far as the doctors are sure you know it's special equipment on both the special versus ministry of militancy has allowed them to feel safe while being transported to here while traveling from but to get across to most. of the tragedy happened in the city of calls to solve the russian government that the

families of those who have dog will receive a thousand dollars in compensation each while those serious pains most heard will get over ten thousand dollars in compensation each as well. meanwhile the u.s. state department has said militants operating in the north caucuses have ties to al qaeda they come to terrorism coordination of the department also said the united states is willing to help russia and its fight with terrorism in the region oh she's going to check on how small from washington d.c. . this time russian the u.s. seem to be on the same page the u.s. state department said the terrorist attack in gaza as you mentioned is part of international terrorism and those who are responsible for it are international terrorist 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 it 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 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 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 that sort of thing 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 well 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 and political scientist dr ferenc believes that the bombing in this southern russian city of cause is just a part of a worldwide terrorist war against democracy. well this attack suicide attack in the northern caucasus is not just a local attack by a local terrorist it is considered internationally and even here in america as a jihadi terror attack against democracy in russia as a whole they don't want to go through the political process and beyond that as we see around the world whatever you have suicide bombers you see also a threat against international democracy and freedom who've seen this before it has

history attacks by the hardest movement linked to al qaida worldwide inside russia in dagestan in chechnya in this part of the caucasus have all the goal of basically bringing down the political process first locally in these local provinces and republics and then as much as they can try to form. russia as a country and as a democracy but this is not isolated to russia what we need to see is how similar networks operate in afghanistan bomb civilians in baghdad in algeria in london and madrid and we last year had almost the same attempt here in new york times square almost similar prime minister putin said that muslims in general should have the prime role in resisting jihadism in fighting terrorism russia should be with them the international community should back them and support them but what prime minister putin said is correct that you harvest the salafist and all the allies

around the world including in russia they do target first the muslim moderates but again look at the high profile killings benazir bhutto prime minister former prime minister of pakistan prime minister hariri of levanon members of the parliament in baghdad so the jihadist at the end of the day are targeting muslims first and the response should come from civil society if they should be in the front line we should support them the international community should support them. and of course we'll be keeping you updated on but terror attack but now of focus shifts to the russian city of the hour for our coverage of the global policy forum that's taking place there. so some of the best minds from around the world have gathered in this old russia city for today a brainstorming session it's located two hundred fifty kilometers north east of moscow in a city that proudly bows unesco world heritage status marking its thousand year anniversary this weekend the u.s.

law is hosting an event that's trying to answer some of the hardest questions facing us in the future like how to keep the world says' which often makes a democracy work and how to modernize what's already in the existence these are just some of the issues on the table. has more from the spot. 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 all the chances to reach the davos forum level russia is the host of the annual economic forum but so far it hasn't had a sort of political equivalent to that so some claim that the us level for him 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 pavel's makes very clear that international economic and financial debate can be extremely influential devil started off as a small initiative and has grown into a global fixture and i think the same potential which is 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 at cross purposes and really try and find the common mode and i think debate exchange critical questions and constructive contributions 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 unfolds the next two days on this year's forums twelve. criteria of 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 but 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 why. in a way street 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 the 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 of take on that has been that democracy is a process it's not just a word that. global security is going to be one of the major topics during the for and ahead of the event also he's economic historian robert skidelsky and he says the view should consider russia's proposal for a new european security treaty. to become 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 two military power in europe the french and the british the rest have to do anything really but they're small and there's no unity. to sort of no 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 war but to be part of the problem for insurgency operations peacekeeping operations and so on so russia could be a great asset for your p. the security system and president medvedev has suggested a new security concept of that would be going to 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. and you can watch the full version of this interview huff an hours time here on r.t. and we'll have more live coverage from the global policy forum on friday as soon as the second to have discussions starts. when the news is not enough. when it's something really crucial when you want to get down to brass tacks. when

you bring special coverage. this time the latest news from the. policy for my wrong special guests discussions on the you know modern state in providing security and stability of the present day world. question more on. where we go now the pilots who managed to land a crippled russian ally now back in moscow or eighty one people on board a rocket to survive the to meet f.a.a. of major electrical systems all his time bot 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 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 front full to be in line was seated in the pool so we landed and the streets and ended up in the woods emergency crews arrived to find two week everything was organized very fast with the sleep you compose 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 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 and the third attempt. by plane was designed to land on a concrete airstrip and at first we chose a rough strip and 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 meters of woodland before stopping all eighty one people on board were evacuated to safety rather milledge can is a former pilot and actually trained the heroes in question he says he's very proud of his former prata jays. up in the clothes they couldn't even tell their 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 as with 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 you have to craft and i'm sure that that craft was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago when you were 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 together 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. so dropping out challenge to kosovo's independence of the united nations grades removed a section of a un resolution that called kosovo secession unacceptable european officials proclaimed it to be a useful compromise and also diana johnston however 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 this was not a compromise because from what i've understood the european union did not. get in exchange for this they gave nothing as usual and i'll just be asking for more if they have been for 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 have a look we have and have always lived close to it or which the united city use in order 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. let's now take a look at some other news stories making headlines around the world investigators in the philippines say please could be responsible for some of the deaths during a botched hostage rescue age tourists from hong kong were killed after a disgraced ex policeman hijacked their bras in manila two weeks ago and ballistics tests disputes police claims all the deaths were the result of close range fire hearing into the hijacking concludes today. north korea has marks its

sixty second at about three hours details of a conference at tipster named leader kim jung il successor remained shrouded in mystery thousand celebrating a founding day by placing flowers at the base of a statute but found a little sign pyongyang is littered with posters announcing the workers party meeting the exact details are known as expected king's youngest son will be appointed to a key policy position preparing him for succession. 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 is a bone of contention with locals after a number of high profile incidents thomas now 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 something extra 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 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 with this base but with other bases but. as we know it's also. they also help the economy and people from now or into 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. new

clothes on the direction and to make more business and we need to be independent intending to station dinny to market represents okinawa in japan's house of representatives and is looking to bring about change is the most 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 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 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 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 whereas 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 role 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 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 any more human.
