list. this is paradise. for the military presence which occupies almost two servers the island's temperature and overshadows the people's everyday lives. of all the sound so people could use are mostly with. you because we're here in the struggle on. the well we're covering the global policy forum taking place here. and i'm now i

just take a look at our main stories president medvedev says no one tell us about a new security agreement between russia and europe which would help everyone. move but it also told a forum here with the pace of development in the country only those with whole memory still accused russia of totalitarianism. and in other news russia's republic of mormons the victims of yesterday's car bomb attack in its capital central mosque. blast killed seventeen and it's left more than a hundred injured. and also on r.t. we look into why a growing number of americans have been converting to islam since nine eleven by accusations the media is fueling and even ism towards muslims.

so therefore we start with the global policy forum in jaroslava where the russian president's been speaking today dimitri move out of told the united states to overcome what he described as jealousy towards a proposed new european security deal he went on to say that the new system would actually unite current institutions to make everyone will secure and in a speech concentrating on democracy he said those who say russia isn't democratic have very bad memories over now joined by our tests are still level was at the forum and now joins us hi there. tell us what speech went through take us through the speech what were the main points or well one of the main points of his speech as you mentioned is the focusing on democracy well because let's go back to previous to the previous day i wanted to work focused mainly on democracy and they were trying to define what is democracy and basically i spoke earlier with all of

stan and he says that they all agree to disagree that there is no one definition of democracy and one. democratic system may not be applicable to one another and therefore coming to russian president dmitri medvedev of speech he was saying particular he was very insistent that parliamentary democracy is not applicable to russia it's not going to work in russia and he explained that pretty well he's also been very adamant in saying that those who say that russia is not democratic at all will really. earlier he did say that it is a democratic country but it's just not a parliamentary democracy now let's hear from him on what he had to say on this matter. i strongly disagree with those who say there's no democracy in russia and that there's authoritarian tendencies here it's not true that russia is a democracy beyond. its immature it's still not perfect and experience but it's a democracy nonetheless there's a way to go but we're ready to work on it in some countries democracy is being

imposed but it doesn't work that way and we've seen many examples of that. rise and one of the we know that today the main topic on the table really was the formation of a european security treaty now this was a proposed by president to thousand and eight and there was a draft made by russian two thousand and nine and here although it's a russian initiative it's been taken seriously by the international community because security in europe the euro atlanta area within the security for the world and that's why we have. south korean president lee myung bak president we have former prime minister of japan there present so it is important to global security and one of the things that have been thrown on the table is that is it really necessary to create a new framework altogether or should the countries just look at different political system security systems that are already there and possibly come up with one that would work for everybody so again this is still up in the air this is still being

discussed and. president dmitry medvedev his idea he was also saying that the u.s. should take a more active role in this. with president obama and some sort of. idea and here's what he had to say. we need to create an institution that will bring together nato and nato members and other structures u.s. counterpart president barack obama. never avoids discussing this issue he does not say that is harmful or unnecessary but i would suggest that among our american partners a certain jealousy exists with regard to this idea however it is necessary to rise over this josee and try to look the truth in without the creation of the system the world will not be able to survive we can help each other here. all the speaking of security one of the. topics again raised was iran of course and

president medvedev said that the role of russia in relation to iran is to continue to help them but also to make sure that they are in line with international law so he's not ostracizing that he will see he said russia will continue to help iran as long as it's along the lines of global security. problems that have been talked about in this forum there's going to be a lot of very serious discussion about what to do for the best for the future but hasn't all been heavy what's the atmosphere been like has there been a bit of fun as well what we have to remember that the people who participate in this for they've been to a lot of forums and they're very sort of and also whether outside of the plenary sessions or sometimes even in the players' sessions you can see them laughing you see them agreeing to disagree especially when it's a very very sensitive topic and when all that outside you're talking to them about

politics they prefer to talk about how beautiful their country is or how much they like russia perhaps or how much they'd like to visit moscow and so these things come out and one other thing is they've been career diplomats career politicians are are academics and they always tell me you know one thing that being younger generation should do is they should do a better job doing because talking and talking and talking so hopefully after this would happen. and of course we have italian prime minister silvio berlusconi who did create hot water i was one wrong we saw not only our own trying to get through all the problem well apparently he said that he had been misinformed about the topic that he was supposed to talk about so basically went up there and just started to improvise well i think it's better if we actually see what he said and what he said. was that the money. i was not. informed the topics under discussion.

the section in my nutrition. speech. section in remitting. presentation does not correspond to the discussion here. so well after all the serious talk now jaroslava celebrating its one thousand and the anniversary and the protests are planned some of them will be participating in the activities planned for them so there will be more fun after all this is our coverage continues the rest of the eight o'clock tonight and also we're all day tomorrow right through until about ten o'clock or so here are works taking place we're going to bring you all of you as coverage of the folks in the program more tomorrow as the forum winds down today all the great celebrations that are planned

in this in saying that there's already been some fun today although as we've heard from the with this county yes and so we're looking forward to what's going to happen over the weekend. thanks. very much. there our correspondent. well plenty of opinions being expressed in the discussions taking place here as well we're keeping up to date with that of course as best we can we've also got a lot of comment into the program as as well. going along with a great of the good that have come into the fore of social science professor craig calhoun is one of them from new york university he's been there he thinks that although a new european security framework will take years of discussion it is nonetheless very necessary. i don't think that there has been a resolution about the proposal for the new european security security treaty but i do think that there is now a relationship of mutual respect between president medvedev and president obama and

between the two countries and that includes the other european countries that would have to be partners to any sort of agreement so in my view the discussion has to continue possibly for years before there is a resolution the disaster would be if any country breaks off the discussion and refuses to keep this process moving forward because we do need to reach an agreement and a new framework. thoughts there from new york university professor craig who now president medvedev says he doesn't see. he doesn't see russia developing as a parliamentary republic it's an opinion shared by journalists or gave it a lot of was also a member of the russian council on defense and foreign policy. i don't really see on the horizon the possibility of russia becoming a parliamentary democracy it wouldn't work here but what you see on the moment is that the party system is becoming a proper party system. its gets established i think these are good chance for the

president to just cause for the appointments of the parliament when fixing things and finding the checks and balances within the executive but if you can so you raise the idea was throwing these activities kind of when you look at all the management of the caps maybe another two hundred years of a big problem and some of these. journalists talked. to us out r.t. they're just a bit earlier. now let's move almost the idea is that to reach a revote of outlined at the forum we're also detail that is article go russia that was written a year ago that set out measures to kick out corruption and kick start modernization with the ultimate aim of reducing russia's dependency on its natural resources where r.t. spoke to the president's press secretary natalya tzemach over to find out just i was all going. just as the problems that the president made to bed with gave

a detailed and unflattering account of the situation russia is currently in it was not unflattering in the meaning of critical after previous period and previous achievements no on the contrary they were giving credit but it was stated that the model of development russia had chosen and pursued until now is no longer viable the president named a number of reasons that stand in the way of the country's development corruption was named as a major reason for delay in development it is true that now competition is possible until we have a well built up today judicial system until we combat corruption and have fair unbiased courts and an unbiased law enforcement personnel in without all this it will be hard for russia to secure a good place on the global scene in that way she missed the media. and just let you know if not quoted already we've got the full interview on air again in about twenty minutes time and we'll also continue our coverage of the

global policy forum the hours ahead so do we can stay with us for that. all right there let's go to grow chose or i thought you just paid for a break there obviously not. without an about there all day for us good to see again catherine or some fine. making their presence felt in euro's love these past two days. of the what you see. all kevin it was called the massive present video has been sending the line of what you said today was that the time has come not just to talk not just to criticize but it's time to find local solutions at three major topics were discussed at this year's policy forum global policy for many years democracy and diversified

democracy experiences around the world modernization and efficiency and presently bit of stake and that is that nothing is very straightforward these days and that every country has its own more than it has its own way and nobody really has the right to criticize russia's has been moving forwards and he compared to what russia was in the soviet what the country was soaring in the soviet times what russia of the nine hundred ninety s. was he reminded us that. those who criticize and describe it now as an authority or both or a tarion state really have a short memory and of course it been a great pleasure to talk on the sidelines of the conference to so many political analysts some of the best being tanks top state officials want to be joined now by one of the participants of this year's global policy forum and. dr herdman got you tonight nice to make you took them on that you took part in the section

devoted to global security. but if we leave will come back to that later what's your impression in general of the conference and of the host the first let me first express my condolences to the russian people with again suffered from islamist terrorism as about the conference i really impressed it was a very frank exchange both intersections and independent kind of meetings and. president invidious has given a very impressive speech and he's a very of the deficiences russia's system ocracy and russia's political system still suffers from but he does have a vision they have russia is heading to and he has a he's a great he's is impressive facility that he does if you wish it and i think. one could think of him as the president for many years to come. unfortunately we didn't have that much time to talk to mr medvedev because video affected as a host but someone else forgot the teaser guest and italian prime minister

berlusconi took about thirty minutes of our time just to talk about his personal fortunes and his problem if you tell the unfortunate think this was highly inappropriate. i know that silvio berlusconi still you told me still the time you do have an opportunity to is present in bed if your question but you made a great presentation on the iranian issue what's your take on what is perhaps now by far the quota stop because the international news agenda what should the wall do to tackle the iranian issue but should anything at all well it was a very heated topic in our conversations as well particularly how to react to the uranium nuclear program we are particularly focused on how israel might react if there will be some sort of preventive military attack by israel on the iran and then of course we spoke about how the international community reacts to iran and i talked about how russia is really pressed from two sides on the one hand it is interested to deepen its economic relations with iran not in it and only in

a nuclear sector in the military sector as well but on the other hand of course there's very very tough pressure from the united states and western europe that russia joins united nations sanctions against iran not doing traded for iran in sensitive areas and russia was hard pressed to react and lately it seems it seems it has decided to step into the west and come and try to press iran to feel security council. so that's a very country well it it's it's really decisive decision russia seem to have made but at the end of the day despite all the connections russia's interest is of course that there's no more nuclear power in the middle east we have too many of them already mr mann that we've been talking so much the world's been talking so much about the iranian nuclear issue but. during the nuclear free nuclear nonproliferation conference in new york and maybe the issue of nuclear free middle

east was raised should we do about the israeli nuclear program well actually that's that's the real problem the fact is that israel does have more nuclear warheads than the people's republic of china house. israel does not admit it has nuclear weapons but it also doesn't. say that it has nuclear weapons so whenever we speak about the preaching of security solution to the middle east of course it's got to speak but it's nuclear weapons as well you can't deny iran the right to nuclear weapons you cannot accept indian nuclear weapons you cannot accept pakistani nuclear weapons are killed accept israeli nuclear weapons but do not allow iran to take whatever it seems appropriate to a guaranteed security hopefully. a weapon izing you clear weaponized you will be that hold in the years to come there will be a solution thank you very much for your insight professor mongo from only its

national relations from the in spoke university who took part in this section of the global policy point of devoted to global security. right for now. keeping us up to date of what's happening out there for america of course kevin and i will continue to broadcast live from as they begin to celebrate their thousand year anniversary we're enjoying ourselves here we hope you're enjoying our coverage as well. plenty more ahead for the rest of the day and all day tomorrow as well here he. says. when something really. what you want to get down to. this time the latest you got. wrong special guest discussions on the view the modern state in providing security and stability

of the present day world. question. well here in your us level president medvedev promised to those behind yesterday's deadly terror attack in north or south you would be dealt with he said there's no point being soft with the terrorists they must be destroyed well the public is holding an official day of mourning for the seventeen victims of the car blast that hit the capital central market song of the coach over reports from flooding calls where the first few rolls are being held. we are at the exact street and logic of cars what the explosion has happened the central market is always there the car has been parked there and the whole area is still blocked by the police the investigators have been working here all night and people are still coming to the sides are some of the i was standing in silence just watching someone cry and

tori's chechen militants wanted internationally for terrorism is pledging more attacks on russia. posted a statement saying that after the bombing invited and on the same day washington said militants operating in the north caucuses are linked to al qaida and that's a change in the u.s. approach to the problem as our team is going to camp explains. this time russia and the u.s. 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 being 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 now things seem to too be. changing the u.s. has acknowledged that groups operating in russia have for international ties 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. 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 more of also claimed responsibility for the attack on on the train traveling from same

prison 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. on hold but not cancel the u.s. pastor who threatened to burn copies of the koran on saturday's anniversary of the nine eleven terrorist attacks says the event has only been postponed and not called off the threat has been met with worldwide condemnation of president obama's described the burning sort of me as a recruitment bonanza for al qaida so you put american lives at risk meantime new figures in the u.s. show a rise in the number of people converting to islam to nine eleven. meets americans now who've recently become muslims and how they and their adopted religion are often misconstrued in the u.s. media. it's the call to

prayer and it's answered by more than a billion muslims all over the world including caitlin billings a twenty two year old american who was raised christian converted last year the first of ramadan my mother. she was afraid that i was going to marry someone who would be. she was crying a lot of thought that i was returning her by changing my religion to something that she didn't know about backtrack almost a decade ago to nine eleven today our fellow citizens our way of life are very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist attacks president bush waged a war on terror targeting extremists muslims who were labeled as terrorists many americans like caitlin billings remember that time in the united states very well you know i was fourteen when september eleventh happened so i didn't really know what was going on if that really was as long.
